    Love this place! The service here is always so warm and welcoming, and makes me love my visits. The inside has a cool decor, and a nice outside patio that is enclosed. The food is delicious. Also, the plates are enormous, so you'll definitely have some leftovers. If you're near the airport and looking for breakfast, skip Denny's and Waffle House and opt for Sunny Daze. The price point is the same (actually probably better), so you just get way more bang for your buck. Easy choice.

    Turkey patty and eggs was delicious....

    Organic ambiance and great food. Staff was friendly and inviting. Food was prepared perfectly and they have plenty of choices. I would definitely make sure I stop every time I'm in Tucson. Don't miss out.

    How have I lived here for 18+ and never tried this place I will never know... but today we did while trying to find a place we had never been. We hit them on a Saturday AM and were able to be seated right away. The place is cute inside, with a diner type vibe to it. Everyone was friendly and welcoming with a smidge of edge, so most reviews that talk about service are spot on - I think the service is what really makes this place. We ordered the sunny puffs, which are like little beignets but consistency is different. They are delicious though, like little light powered donuts. I ordered the omelet/biscuit bowl, my husband the huevos rancheros (Mexican version on the menu). Okay so normally he is very judgey and hard core about Huevos Rancheros but here (and I thought for sure he would diss them when I saw the plate) he LOVED them. He went on and on about the sauce, and our server gave him a little container to take home. Mine was fine, solid food.

    We had a party of seven and were fortunate that we didn't need to wait long for a table. The service was very good and the food was also very good. The employees seem to be happy and care about the organization and the restaurant itself, although a bit dated, is clean and comfortable. We had a positive experience.

    If you want a good breakfast/brunch without Haston wait too long or pay outrageous prices, this is the spot. Service was quick, food was great. I'd definitely come back

    "Catfish" sandwich
    Howard B.

    Sunny Daze looked like a fun place to spend some time while we waited for a flight to come in at the airport. We were immediately surprised by the rude treatment from the person that sat us. It was one of those moments where you sit down and ask each other if maybe we should just go someplace else. We decided to shrug it off and ride it out because the food looked good and there were some fun looking choices. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich and we both had a laugh over the scarcity of chicken; It was mostly bread. I ordered the fried catfish sandwich and it looked really good on the plate but aside from the pleasing visual, the rest of my catfish sandwich experience was a let down. First off, I don't believe for a second that it was actually catfish and second, the fish was not at all fresh. I ate about half of it before I just couldn't handle any more. My wife really enjoyed the French fries and I just thought there were too many of them. Last thing is that our server never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. She just gave us the bill and told us we could pay on the way out. Overall, I would recommend against this place.

    Pasole
    Lacey G.

    I love the old-school diner feel of this restaurant, and I love the flamingo decor all throughout. The service is always fast and friendly and the menu is vast. There is a large range of dishes to choose from that are both traditional breakfast with a mix of Mexican food. It had been years since I had been here, and I recently went again and had an excellent experience. The pasole was absolutely delicious and my skillet was served hot and fresh. This restaurant is also dog friendly for those with doggies they want to take to breakfast. This is definitely a little hidden and I would recommend a stop here!

    Puffs
    Kavonni B.

    Overall, our experience was pleasant, and I would recommend this restaurant . I did find the flamingo theme really cute. For the food, I personally ordered the Lolo breakfast with French toast. Pretty standard, the portion size is definitely worth your money. My co workers enjoyed their dishes as well. Those little puff treats were delicious. They reminded me of beignets with powdered sugar. Coffee was decent. I forgot our servers name, but she was really sweet and welcoming

    Chicken   Fried Steak
    Nancy S.

    We love finding unique breakfast locations. We received top-notch service in spite of a temporary tech glitch with their ordering/payment method. You have to love the flamingos and beach decor. The servings are huge! I had to try the chicken-fried steaks with 3 eggs, had browns and toast. The hubby tried the eggs and ham with fries. Everything was great. We took a lot of good home. Along with yummy looking cinnamon roll. We were disappointed with that -too much icing and not enough cinnamon! Overall a great stop.

    A full order of Sunny Puffs to-go!

    One of Tucsons hidden gems! If your from here then "if you know then you know". Inside it has a tropical theme with super friendly ladies running the show day after day. They are only open till 2pm most days so plan accordingly. Also the pancakes are enormous so be prepared . Enjoy!

It was a perfect place to meet someone who had just flown in to TIA. It's a short drive over from the airport with lots of comfortable booths, and plenty of free parking. Our server Justin, was awesome - super friendly, and understood from the get-go that we would be hanging out for a few hours, waiting for someone else's flight to arrive. The food and drink selections were plentiful, and the place went from being relatively quiet to hopping with customers of all ages, to quiet again. Justin handled all the tables, making sure to check on us, too. Before we left, we complimented his ability to multitask with such an upbeat attitude - always smiling - which added to how much we enjoyed our experience. We ordered the hummus plate, the salmon entree, and the apple pecan salad and all were delicious. Definitely a great place to consider for a meal when picking up hungry travelers, or for a satisfying meal when arriving to Tucson hungry with no idea where to find decent options. ¡Gracias, Justin, and SOL!

Chips, salsa, Guacamole and SOL tacos should take no more than 10-15 minutes. Asking to top off waters was a real test of skills. Salsa is spicy. Don't say you weren't warned. I thought it was good but my friend, not so much. She said the Guacamole was also spicy. The beef on the tacos was crunchy. That was a first. Interesting clientele... I suppose because we're by an airport, in a hotel, that all those things play a big part. Food - mediocre. Ambience - it's a bar/restaurant, not much more to say. Service - well I'll say the place appears to be understaffed.

    It's only halfway through 2026, but I already know this will make my Top 5 restaurants of the year…read more It brings me such joy to happily pay for food that truly deserves its price tag - and I'd gladly pay more. So many higher-end expensive restaurants serve bland, tasteless food, meanwhile this amazing mid-ranged restaurant is serving some of the best dishes I've ever had. The smashed chicken was probably the best chicken dish I have ever had at a restaurant. The skin was perfectly crispy while the meat was juicy and well-seasoned. The ginger and herb salsa verde was so fresh and aromatic. The cilantro rice complimented the lemongrass aioli perfectly. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and I'm usually one to reach for the salt shaker at most restaurants. Smoked olives are a concept I have never considered before. It's a concept that was executed perfectly here. So savory, flavorful, and complex. I'd love to have a few with a dirty martini. Speaking of drinks, my Casino gin cocktail was great. Perfect level of sweetness and tartness. I knew I had to order dessert after how good everything else was, even though I am usually not a dessert person. The oolong tea cake was nothing short of incredible. The tea flavor was subtle but paired well with the fluffy and light honey buttercream. Not too sweet at all. Of course, the service was great too. Our waiter was very attentive and personable. My first experience at 5 points made me realize that this is what restaurants should strive to be. I can tell there is passion poured into every dish with every ingredient thoughtfully melded together. I can't wait to bring everyone I know here so they can experience this too!!
