Great Breakfast Spot with Friendly Service We went to Sunnyside Café in Randolph for breakfast today and had a really nice experience. Our waitress was attentive and professional, and the restaurant itself was welcoming and clean. It also wasn't too busy for a Sunday morning, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious--even though I couldn't eat much because of a sore mouth from a recent fall, I was still able to taste enough to know it was good. The orange juice was fresh and delicious, I sampled a piece of sausage, and the hash browns were super crispy and flavorful. Based on service, atmosphere, and what I did get to taste, I would definitely recommend Sunnyside Café as a solid breakfast spot in Randolph. I'll definitely be back when I can fully enjoy the meal! read more

I'm looking for a quick breakfast before church. Several waitress behind the counter talking & laughing loud, playing on cell phones, coming out kitchen eating(hope it wasn't my foid), and just hanging around. We sat at the counter and done when a teenager curly hair boy, with no gloves on scratched & adjusted his crouch area and scratched his hair. I tried to get my waitresses' attention so he would not touch my plate. Informed her of what he did & should put on gloves, yet they giggled. I'm NEVER going to a Sunny side again. Nasty people and probably proud of it. read more

Food was terrible eggs burnt along with toast. Definitely need to invest in dishware would help.

I'm glad the area where I grew up turned a Friendly's into a brunch cafe that opens early and closes by 3. Very family oriented and has the feeling that the server knows the locals. They have your standard breakfast and diner foods. I've always only gone for breakfast which is nice in portion and décently priced for what you get. read more

This business has been around for a long time and we love them. The staff are great and the food comes out hot and great portion sizes. Prices are very reasonable. They accept cash and card. read more

They give good size portions here. I had the hungry man 2, streaks and eggs with potatoes with a short stack pancakes. Oh Boy! I must have been hungry cause I ate it all! The place is super busy but the owners are so friendly. I would come again, good eats! read more

It's typical breakfast place in the middle of Randolph. The place is cozy, welcoming and you can choose your table. They have the usual breakfast meals: all kinds of eggs, pancakes, french toast, bagels,... you name it! And I just noticed today, there is outdoor seating available! The service is super nice, knows their locals and treat them friendly with respect. Last but not least. They make Egg Benedict with spinach, tomato and feta cheese. And it's just soo good. read more

My friend and I went to this restaurant because it was once a Friendly's- and they had Eggs Benedict on their menu. This is purely a breakfast and lunch only restaurant. Everyone was friendly and gave amazing service. I like that they had both hash browns and home fries. We started with a Belgian waffle which was delicious- as were our breakfasts. Food and serviwas great, read more

Best quote of this place "There should be TF for Taste Free and JF for Joy Free and AAHYWEH for Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here." The owner needs to consider it is a privilege to have customers in the economic crisis, and profiling and RUDE service are VERY Distasteful. Your waitress is NOT always right. Example - Bacon is rubbery beyond words to express, Speed of food, very slow to bring food to the table. Maybe I'm just used to Better Treatment as a PAYING consumer. Maybe the Owners should invest some effort into the horrible food instead of the POOR service....

Simple spot with good service and affordable food! We went on a Sunday about an hour before closing, so there were very few customers and our food came out really fast. The Greek horizon omelette was okay--I wasn't a fan of the Greek sausage, but that's my fault for not knowing what it was when I ordered. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Sunny Side Cafe - Greek horizon omelette with home fries and raisin toast, and eggs with bacon, home fries, and white toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Randolph, Massachusetts

Great diner with friendly staff and delicious food! I highly recommend the Greek Horizon omelette with rye toast.

Horrible Customer Service I Came With My Baby Just Visiting MA. They Do Not Seat Customers They Expect You To Seat Yourself Which Is Very Unprofessional For A Diner ! They Also Don't Let You Order To Go Inside Another Stupid Thing! Never Have I Been Somewhere To Eat & They Dont Seat You ! Long Story Short I Left And Will Never Go Back Again ! read more

This is a local breakfast place and the food was delicious. Our server was working with just one other person and she still did a nice job. I recommend this place! read more

The menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch foods - absolutely the perfect brunch place. It's the greasy food you secretly crave when you're thinking of a diner breakfast and it's absolutely delicious. I can't speak for service as I only did take out, but I'm excited to be able to go in once the pandemic is over! read more

Ate here once. We will never return. The food tasted spoiled, our french toast was soggy in the middle, the scrambled eggs were soupy, and our bacon and homefries tasted as if they were cooked hours earlier. The wait for our food to come out of the kitchen was lengthy and the place wasn't full by any means. While we were there, I remember the cook yelling racial slurs during a conversation with an older lady and gentleman who I assume are all family. Also, we were totally disgusted with our server Gina who kept putting her fingers in her mouth as she was standing around. I was almost happy she never came around to refill our drinks. The older gentleman I mentioned before was sitting at the bar clipping his nails. I guess it was the owner. We barely ate anything. Felt it was better to leave than have anything remade or even mention anything. Steer clear. read more

My husband and I took our son to breakfast, and we've always passed this restaurant but never stopped until last Saturday. I have to say, "I was pleasantly surprised ". I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad that the food hit the spot! I got the Hungry Man's Platter #2 with the steak, and the steak was on point! The pancakes were delicious! I was stuffed when I left and was full all day! I will return! read more

Corned beef hash was straight from a can and tasted like dog food. I was so disappointed! This food is below average. I guess the wait staff is nice? But forgot the toast from the meal. read more

I have to give this place 1 star. As soon as we walked in, it smelled like stale cigarettes. We sat ourselves and ordered some coffee. It tasted like water. I was told that the fruit cup I had ordered was not going to happen because they didn't have any fruit. Then our meals came out and my fiancé found hair in her meal. I was really hoping this place would work out because it is very local and a small business (which I like to support) but we will not be returning. I forgot to mention - my fiancé was so disgusted that she created a yelp account just to give it a bad review. read more

Came on a Sunday morning, service was not great. Waited 20 mins for two bagels. A person who called ahead also waited for quiet some time...

I was really satisfied with the breakfast at Sunny Side! It's not fancy or particularly special, but it's *good* food for a *great* price. I would totally come here again and recommend it to anyone interested in a simple, cheap, reliable breakfast. ***** Time: Tuesday, June 20th from 9:00 - 10:00 AM Venue: Small diner, plenty of easy parking. Clean. Service: Our waitress was calm, kind, and attentive. Food came out in 10-15 minutes. Food: The food came out was fresh and hot. The portions (for the price) were generous and filling * French Toast: Perfectly eggy; lightly toasted; not overcooked; not overly sweetened. Simple. * Pancakes: Good flavor; Good texture; perhaps a tad too dry. * Eggs: Fluffy, not overcooked * Homefries: great flavor! Soft, not overcooked or dry * Sausage: large pieces, moist and flavorful * Bacon: too thin; not enough flavor or texture * Hasbrown: good amount of crunch, but too oily. read more

I've been here a few times and most of the time on the weekends, which is their busiest, especially in the morning. The longest I've ever waited for around 15 minutes and is only because it was Father's Day. Once the place gets busy, the service is slow and the cafe becomes a bit chaotic and clusters with both customers and servers going around. During the weekdays you can expect to get your food in less than 10 minutes, but on the weekends, expect 20+ minutes. The food itself, I have to disagree with most reviews because I thought the breakfast was good. I love their home fries and hash browns. The hash brown is the way I liked it. I once ordered a veggie omelette and it was huge, especially since it came with home fries and toast as well. I couldn't finish it. My bf once ordered steak tips with his breakfast and he liked it a lot. There was decent flavors to it and it was tender enough to chew. You don't even need A1 sauce or ketchup for it. I would have to say that their breakfast meals is A LOT better than I Hops which I would not go to anymore. I have to take off one star because of the wait time for both a table and for food. The overall restaurant was clean but last time we sat at the counter it was kind of dirty. Other than that, everything else was good especially the price, which I thought was reasonably price although it could be bit lower. I would go back to eat here if I ever in the mood for some breakfast dish. read more

The former location of a regional chain restaurant this breakfast and lunch café is very nice. We did not wait long for a seat on the weekend.

Got take out, food was poor quality and small small portion for price. 4 small steak tips for $14. Chicken and waffles.... 4 wing dings. Thought it would be regular chicken wings since that's what the sign says but they're frozen wing dings with waffles for $12.... 4 tiny wing dings. Could find better breakfast food somewhere else for better quality and portion and price read more

Eat where the locals eat! We're from out of town and happened to be staying close to this place for breakfast! I'm sure this place gets packed weekend mornings, but we came in on a Wednesday and had a very relaxed meal. Super friendly waitstaff and AMAZING FOOD! Can't recommend more! read more

Unbelievable family owned & operated restaurant for breakfast and lunch. Each & every time we visit, have had nothing but positive experience. Sunny Side's cleanliness, courteous & friendly staff along with great tasting food is like a breath of fresh air and the fact that its menu is very reasonably priced makes it hard to pass by. read more

I got the chicken and rice soup. It was delicious so good that I leaked a little bit down my leg.

I have been to Sunny Side a few times since it opened last summer. The atmosphere is very "sunny" and open. The restaurant is clean, and the waitstaff is very friendly. My past orders have included the Mediterranean and Tuscan omelettes. My friends and family have had orders of the pancakes, waffles, skillets, etc. The quality of the food is not the level I am looking for, though. The food was cold on a couple of occasions...I like my food hot! I also found my omelettes slightly overcooked. My family observed that the portions are not as large as other breakfast joints, but I think that is subjective. However, I believe the prices on the menu are pricier than other breakfast spots in Randolph (that give you larger portions for the same or lesser price). Items on the menu range from $6-14. Sunny Side Cafe serves both breakfast and lunch; however, lunch is not served on the weekends. I like to support local businesses, but I think this cafe needs to step up its game a little! To end on a good note, though, their homefries are quite tasty. read more

If you like sweating while you eat the hair in your overcooked eggs n hash that you waited a half hour for, this is the place for you....awful, so bad. read more

We stopped in one Sunday morning as a party of 6 for breakfast/brunch before heading to Logan airport. It's not my usual breakfast place, but I figured I would at least give it a try. Cluster-you-know-what doesn't even begin to describe the place when we walked in. Fortunately, my in-laws already had a table there so we made our way to the table. However, there was no real seating pattern or any type of directions for the poor patrons left standing like deer in the headlights. I ordered the french toast with cinnamon and it was just okay. Honestly, the french toast slices were about the size of a regular piece of sandwich bread and certainly nothing memorable. Others in our party had eggs and benedicts that were just okay. The service left a lot to be desired. The place was crazy and the servers were getting a workout. The food was overall okay and I think that perhaps if it wasn't so busy, it would be better. I am willing to give them one more chance before sticking to my normal breakfast place in Randolph. read more

This has become our go to breakfast spot over the past few years. The food is very consistent and never disappoints. The prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get. The staff is very attentive and the place is clean, what more can you ask for in a neighborhood breakfast spot? To those who complain about the service I can say that in the innumerable packed weekend mornings I've been here I've not once heard or seen a customer complain. This isn't Stephanie's on Newbury, it's a diner, and so if you go in with those expectations you won't be disappointed. Gotta give it up to the sunny side skillet it's my favorite thing on the menu. Two eggs over easy with peppers, bacon, and sausage for 8.95. We also love the omelettes and waffles. Like I said we have never been disappointed and will be back soon. read more

Sunny Side Cafe - Sunny Side skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Randolph, Massachusetts

Basic breakfast and lunch place with a very nice atmosphere. Things seem to be kept simple and clean! I have had lunch and breakfast a few time so far and i am still going back. Waitstaff is always pleasant and food is always out very promptly. This makes it great if you are on a lunch time sqweeze for work or just a tight schedule. Location and parking are perfect so i will def be back. Not to mention for the ladies there is a little extra bonus, there is some nice eye candy in the cooking department. That is always a plus when eating because you can also see what they are doing to your food! I like anyplace i can get a sneak peak at whats going on in the kitchen. read more

Always back to this spot for breakfast with the family! Great waitresses and great food! Simple and presentation always on point. Shout out to the staff and the chef! read more

We've been going there for quite a while, and we drive all the way there from Braintree. Their home fries are some of the best I've ever had. The other offerings are always yummy. The waitstaff are attentive and polite. The prices are totally fair. Love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great breakfast. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and was seated at the bar quickly. Waitress quickly took our orders as well. The staff is definitely very attentive and friendly! I noticed there was a breakfast and lunch menu, nothing on the lunch menu stuck out honestly. I went with the spinach eggs Benedict which comes with home fries and tried the cinnamon honey French toast as well. Eggs Benedict was nothing crazy, I've had better, eggs were a little over cooked and the hollandaise sauce tasted a littler weird, I'm sure I'll find out in a few hours if it was a bad batch or not :/ Home fries were just bland and I barely touched them. I usually like them a. Little crisp on the outside but these weren't, just kind of soggy and bland. The French toast however is a must try! I haven't seen something like it in any other breakfast place and really is a yummy treat. Generously coated in egg with cinnamon swirls inside the bread, I could've easily just had a stack of French toast. It's a nice little local spot to stop by if you're in the area and want something that's not going to dent the wallet, but nothing spectacular to go out of your way for. read more

I wanted to try this place as some of my friends said this place was pretty good. It is located in the former Friendlies. It is nice, bright & SUNNY. Clean, this is always a plus. But like others have said, they do have smaller portions for same price or slightly pricier for similar items at other breakfast places in the area. There really nothing that makes this place stand out other than it can fit more, but it is still an alternative to Toast of the Town or Newcomb Farms if they are packed or closed. We didn't have a problem with the wait staff the day we came in, maybe it was our lucky day? read more

Today was the first time trying this restaurant. I can remember when this was a Friendly's restaurant way back when. This is a nice little place for breakfast, and when I ordered was the Eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon and a side order of sausage patties. Eleni was my server and very friendly and prompt. The food tasted delicious, and for around $19 was a good price. I was very hungry so without the eggs Benedict this probably comes closer to between $8 to $12. I also ordered 2 chocolate milks. I was lucky to have today off, to actually try this place out. Although I look forward to returning. I will also look forward to trying other dishes from both the breakfast and lunch menus. This is a great start for this place, as far as me trying it. read more

Decided to give it a try for lunch. I ordered a chicken salad club. When I asked what they put in their chicken salad - the server's newness showed when she couldn't answer confidently. But, she was nice about it, admitting she should know. I said if it was basic with mayo and celery then I'd take it. I got a chicken salad sandwich (not club) and it was basic. Basically tasteless - slightly sour? weird - even salt didn't help. But at least she saved me $2 by giving me the sandwich ... While eating I observed another server (later to find out it was the owner's sister) responding to a customer's question about her bill. It was only then that the guest was told that she couldn't substitute pancakes for toast and was therefore charged ala cart. I think I would have preferred to be told that when ordering - no? My server asked if I wanted a refill. .. I said yes. She must have gotten so wrapped up in her conversation about the last guest's question about the pancake ... cause I still waiting and I'm thirsty. As a server I'll confess that I not on my best game when it's slow... I'm better when it's a 3 ring circus. So I'm giving all 3 stars to Jodi for her service. Unfortunately I'm not impressed and won't be back. read more
