Great menu for all to enjoy.Large space to entertain big families.Few of families favorite,fruit crepes,gyro skillet,patty melt yum.

I went here for a quick breakfast before I left town and it was a good choice. I had shopped at St Nick Knacks and was headed home to Maryland. I needed some substance for the drive home. My waiter was super fast, the kitchen spot on, the food delicious and the lady at check out was super funny and thoughtful. She found out I was leaving and had a long drive and packed me 2 ice teas to go plus a glass of ice! So sweet of her. I had chipped beef and it was really good. I would eat here again and again. read more

Usually they have great food but wife and I ate there Thansgiving and it was awful. Turkey dinner was gristle, skin and slivers of bone. Tiny little piece io pecan pie. Waitress brought out some more white meat but said that was all she was allowed to do. read more

This place is a fine breakfast/brunch spot. It benefits by comparison with the Sunset Grill, 100 yards east, which is a low point in food service on the East Coast. The restaurant is clean, the staff is super friendly, the food is plentiful for the price, they welcome our grandkids and have plenty of food and beverage choices for them, in short is a nice neighborhood breakfast diner. We will return here every time we're in the area. read more

My daughter and I came here this morning while the rest of our family went out golfing. There was no wait, even though the parking lot was full. We were seated right away, and a server came to take our drink order. Our food came quickly, and it tasted great! They even indulged my daughter when she wanted a smiley face on her pancake. I would definitely come here again! read more

Sunny Side Up Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calabash, North Carolina

Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting. The buffet was without a good selection. The bacon was raw and my orange juice cup had a left over from the person before. The eggs were runny and watery. There's too many other places that have real breakfast in this area. Will not return to this place and I don't recommend it. This place is too pricey for what they serve. read more

Sunny Side Up Diner - An unclean cup. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calabash, North Carolina

See all

Yum yum yum good food. The buffet is gorgeous! Fresh with a lot of choices! The potatoes were perfectly seasoned and I ate more country ham than I should have. There are GF pancakes right on the menu and that's why we decided to come on down and we're glad we did. I appreciated the waitress bringing my pancakes out while they were hot instead of waiting for everything to come out and risk someone having cold food. I didn't particularly like my pancakes... but I appreciate that they were on offer. read more

Sunny Side Up Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Calabash, North Carolina

Quite possibly, I had the best thing I've ever ate at Sunny Side Up diner: Mediterranean Croissant. Delectable with a croissant filled with perfectly scrambled eggs, spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese, and bacon. Sunny Side Up captured everything into a perfect bite each time: savory, sweet, hearty, and succulent. You must go this place. read more

Great place for Breakfast. Large selection anything you could think of for Breakfast. Service is good .

Good food but calories and carbs should be on the menu for people that have special dietary needs.

Update: bathrooms were remodeled, so five stars it is. Friends and family are regular customers, and the place has something scrumptious for everyone...including some of us who need gluten-free options. The buffet is a favorite too. The owners and staff are friendly and care about providing a positive customer experience. read more

My 1st 5-star review!! Clean, great service, nice menu variety, and superb food! Breakfast is served all day while open and was cooked to perfect. Omelets were large and fluffy, pancakes buttery and delicious, the skillet has so much food it's almost ridiculous ( in a good way). Nothing bad to say about my new favorite restaurant! read more

Sunny Side has become a family favorite for us, being one of the only local restaurants that offers breakfast all day. This restaurant has a plethora of breakfast & lunch options, enough for everyone in your family to find something they'll enjoy. Decent prices, kind wait staff, & quick service. The owner is very sweet & recognizes us every time we come in, even if it's been 6 months since we've been. It's definitely not fine dining, they could definitely stand to do some interior & exterior renovations-- but it's very family friendly & has something for everyone to enjoy. I will always recommend the veggie omelet with hash browns! read more

Love it here I had the French toast and it was delicious, there was little to no wait to get seated, and the wait for food was barely any time. read more

This place is wonder for breakfast or lunch! We love eating here. The staff are always friendly, food is wonderful and prices are wonderful! One of our favorite places. read more

Good service. Good food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Go here often for the breakfast buffet. I like it that you can order eggs any way you like with the buffet. Lunch menu is also good. My only complaint is that they are not open for dinner. read more

Went there for breakfast. Ordered scrambled eggs n home fries with fruit cup. The eggs were good. Very small amount of homefries compared to other places but the worst part was the fruit it was old n smelly. No wonder there are never many cars in parking lot. This place has really gone down hill. Will not be returning read more

As a visitor to sunset Beach, I had been told this was a good place to eat. Our party of 3 visited today, November 9th. The food was okay. What brings concern were the observations made while we waited on our meals. Practices taking place and observed were surprising, especially during these days of COVID-19. The hostess and waitress were observed using the same cloth to clean tables, without placing the cloth in a sanitizing bucket between use, but laying it on a counter. Menus were observed not being cleaned between seatings; chairs were not wiped down between seatings; items regularly available on tables were not wiped down between seatings. The one good observation was we saw was staff wearing masks. It would appear management might need to take a look at procedures, especially during these pandemic days. read more

Good food from a huge menu with friendly and prompt service. Best breakfast in the area!

Buffet was worth everypenny! We willbe back onour nextvisit. Grits, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties and links, sausage with pepper and onions, waffles, pankcakes, french toast, potatoes, hash, fruit, pork chops, and more. And it tasted good too! read more

While the waitress walked us to our table, she asked us what we wanted to drink. What's the rush? I would like to at least sit down first and open the menu. So, we ordered the buffet. Bad decision. Almost everything was hard including the sausage, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and French toast. I inquired why there were no scrambled eggs and was asked if I would like some. Well, duh. We were brought two orders of eggs that were fried and cut up - they were not scrambled. If you are going to be offering a buffet BREAKFAST, have the decency to have EGGS available on the buffet!! Common sense. Will not be back. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast...huge western omelet w/ grits and toast. The food was hot and tasty. Waitress and cashier very friendly. Will be going back. read more

Good food My next visit this is the priority,The owner is very nice Service was good highly recommended , read more

This restaurant has started charging 10 percent on top of the total bill for non cash payments. Surprised me as this was not in anything I saw posted or on the menu. read more

Delicious food..great prices..great for kids and the coffee was on point. Definitely will ne a repeat customer

This is a really great diner. Food is good, service is great. They strive to make you feel welcome.

Service was OK. Place wasn't busy at all and the buffet was taking forever to be refilled. People were waiting for about 15 minutes for eggs at a breakfast buffet. They also forgot to bring my father in law his toast for 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly and apologetic, but doesn't deserve more than 2 stars. read more

Doesn't look like it be as popular a place, but it was a little packed when we went, but the service was absolutely incredible. That staff was so friendly and helpful, and the food was incredibly delicious. Would recommend going there for some delicious breakfast options!! 100/10 read more

My wife and her parents had eaten here when they visited us a few weeks ago. My 11 year old son loved it so, he wanted to go there for his birthday breakfast. This was my first time. Thankfully, we got there early enough before all the golfers and tourists got there. We were immediately seated and had easy access to the buffet. Our waitress was young, probably in high school. She seemed like she was still half asleep. However, she was really friendly. The food was really good and they kept the buffet constantly loaded with fresh food coming out. They have a little bit of everything for everyone. Eggs, bacon, sausage (links and patties), country ham, pancakes, fruit, grits, etc. Everything a growing southern boy needs to get through the day! The coffee was good and fresh. The first time my wife went (sans me) she got crepes with fruit and said they were delicious. I hate that the winter months are coming to a close because it will be more and more difficult to get into our favorite places until the fall. But, we still love it and we will just arrive early! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast after a very long drive and I have to say this place was very good. My husband ordered an omelet and pancakes since he was so hungry but the omelet was such a nice sized that he didn't need the pancakes (but ate them anyway they were so good) I had the banana and nutella crepes and OMG so yummy (but how can you go wrong with nutella?) Will be back again on our next visit (and have told family and friends that this is a must stop for a good breakfast) read more

Hands down best breakfast anywhere! Staff was amazing, friendly, and very attentive. Big portions, quality food, and great prices. Will be our go to breakfast place on vacation and recommend to all of our friends. read more

Great! The buffet food was hot and tasted great, husband ordered a breakfast quesadilla off of the menu and loved it. Very affordable.

Not a good experience. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast. I looked at the buffet and decided to order off the menu. Eggs were cooked to order, the hash browns were cold and literally floating in grease. A fork full and grease would drip out. Could not eat. Biscuits were cold and appeared to be frozen biscuits. I finally had to get up and interrupt my waitress talking to another wait staffer to get a second cup of coffee. If you don't care about quality and only want quantity, this is your place. read more

Great food with lots of options for various dietary needs, including gluten-free pancakes, sugar-free syrup, and turkey protein breakfast choices. Also, the staff was nice and helpful in answering questions about the area. read more

My "go to" diner. Family run. Great staff. My favorites are their Gyro which is jam packed with meat, their fries that I will go off my diet for, and their Monte Cristo. It's a breakfast and lunch place. read more

On vacation and just driving around sightseeing, we decided to stop here for breakfast. Server was very friendly and efficient. We had the breakfast bar which contained all the familiar offerings. Eggs are cooked to order and we had ours over-easy. Perfectly cooked. Biscuits were light and fluffy but the gravy was runny. Sausage links were browned just right. Went back for waffle, which was thankfully the thick Belgian kind not like an eggo. Accompanied by some salty country ham and my tastebuds and tummy were happy. Buffet was 8.99 and well worth it. read more

So, when we saw the sign that their special was Fried Chicken with two sides, we decided to stop. I instinctively checked yelp before going in and it had 5 stars. The restaurant is only open until 3:00pm, but it was 1:30, so we were good right? Uh, no. All 5 of us wanted fried Chicken. We saw several people eating it when we were being seated and it looked good. But, when we tried to order our waitress said "oh, well the guy who makes the chicken isn't here and he won't be back soon and it takes 30 minutes to cook it". Seriously? It's 1:30! Apparently they only have one person that can cook chicken and god knows where he went! We should've left right then, but we were hungry. My dad ordered the Buffett for some ungodly reason even though it was very apparent that the food had been there since morning and the gravy had a gelatinous film on it. He regretted it almost immediately. I ordered a fried chicken salad that was supposed to have boiled egg, cheese, fried chicken etc...I got; a plate of lettuce with diced onion and green pepper on it! And the frozen chicken paddy seemed old and tasted like someone dumped salt all over it. Of the other 3 meals; a hamburger that was not eaten, a taco salad that was okay and chocolate chip pancakes were apparently the only eatable thing out of the whole mix. I'm stunned at the rating of this place. Maybe the breakfast buffet is good in the mornings. I will not eat here again, there are way too many other places that want your business and the cook sticks around until closing time. read more

This is the perfect spot for breakfast in Calabash. The eggs Benedict are absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned with a wonderful homemade hollandaise. The omelets are delicious. The buffet has a great selection and when you get the buffet you get eggs made to order. read more

The breakfast menu looked great. Should have gone with my gut (ha!) and ordered from it. Instead, we opted for the ease of the buffet. Value for the money isn't bad, but unless you are only all about bacon and cinnamon rolls - might consider the menu for sure. Eggs are pedestrian. There is a big selection of meat, but none of it is particularly good. Waffles/pancakes/French toast all ok but not great. Then a large selection of fruit that was haphazardly cut and of varying ripeness and quality. Totally ok if you want the volume of a buffet, but wouldn't recommend if you are looking for more quality than quantity. read more

We stopped on our way home after a week at the beach. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly; we were treated as if we'd been regulars all our lives. Since we were in a hurry, we opted for the breakfast buffet (x3). Everything that each of us tried was absolutely delicious. The bacon, sausage, eggs, grits, and home fried potatoes were fantastic. The highlight of it all were their pork chops; these were perfectly seasoned and fork tender. The fruit was fresh and tasty and the wife & kids related that the other starches (french toast, waffles and muffins) were great as well. Thank you to everyone at the Sunny Side Up for a perfect end to a perfect week. Ken K read more
