We ordered take out and it was really good. Crisp and fresh hash browns. Eggs cooked to perfection and it was still hot when my sausage and bacon went in the carry out box as I can tell from the way the foam melted a bit lol. We'll go back! read more

This is my first time here and stopped to have breakfast before boarding our flight. Our server was really nice, attentive and patient. It's your typical diner breakfast spot. Our food was good. It wasn't greasy which I appreciate. Good food. Great service. Good prices. Would definitely recommend. read more

Thought I'd finally give this place a try, thinking "how can you screw up breakfast"? Hmmm..... how indeed. I'm admittedly kind of a chicken fried steak snob. I've tried them all over the country, from great to ghastly. I decided to work without a net and just order the chicken fried steak and eggs without asking if it was frozen or not. Lesson learned. I'll never understand why restaurants feel the need to be so lazy by serving frozen anything, let alone something as easy as this. AND have the nerve to charge $19 for it. Pitiful bordering on criminal. The 'steak' was embarrassingly small, the biscuit on the side was flat and blah, and the sausage gravy was just so-so. Eggs were good (thank you chickens). I really wanted to like this place, but it was bad enough that I didn't even bother finishing because of the lack of flavor and freshness. Very sad. UPDATE: It's now late afternoon and I've been in and out of the bathroom all day since eating here. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Sunny's Diner - Perfect eggs. The rest... not so much. - American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've driven by Sunny's hundreds of times in Tempe and have always wondered how it was. Friends of mine swear by it as one of the best breakfast spots in town. From the outside it looks like just another breakfast spots....its not. I'm kinda surprised it doesn't get brought up more often, this place is great! Service was fast and friendly even though the place was fairly crowded. The inside is nothing special, typical booth and table seating options, but the food was amazing! Everything was good! On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll go back....Ive been back, I'll keep going back? All of the above! read more

The food was very good as usual but the service was terrible. We knew from the start that it was going to be challenging to get our order correct. We asked for extra creamers as well as a spoon and we ordered a screwdriver. After waiting awhile, I got up and got creamers off another table as well as asking another server to get us a spoon since our server disappeared. After still waiting, I got up and asked someone else to fix a screwdriver since she forgot. He was nice to make it and bring it. The order was not charged correctly and was after the fact since I did not know it until later. We were charged for sausage links as well as tomato slices since the server put no sides on the waffle order. I noticed other tables were frustrated as well since they got up and got coffee creamers off other tables as well as one getting their own silverware. I did mention the service when I paid but was brushed off like no big deal and when I called about it, I was brushed off again and nothing happened. I know servers expect tips but it is a bitter pill to swallow when you tip for an incorrect order and charged incorrectly as well as horrible service. read more

Really over priced for a local breakfast spot. Everything on the menu was minimum $17 and substituting items like toast were up charged. Only one option for potato's as well. The food itself was fried too much for my liking, got the omelette and there was nothing soft or fluffy about it, it was flat and the corners were blackened. Service was not fast, but they were kind at least. Interior hasn't been updated for what looks like decades and they have a giant random photo of Santorini on the wall - why? There was graffiti all over the wall when you approach the entrance as well - it's very obvious the owners don't reinvest into the property. read more

Nice spot for breakfast or lunch! Good pricing and was able to accommodate our larger party. Server was very friendly and managed to keep up with everyone's orders when we all got there at different times. A few others helped run food and they were all speedy and efficient! Standard breakfast diner ambiance and feel. I for the banana chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious! The breakfast sausage links were also really good read more

Food is always good has a homemade/hometown feel to it, food is always hits honestly we only come like once a month but food is always honestly great..just today there were to many young ladies had there hair down, for me food and hair is not always a good concept, I don't want food in my hair, I seen the young man wearing a hair net well serving food.. but then have some of your girls with longer hair just left upkeep and need to be bushed out, sorry that's my biggest pet peeve, I feel like servers have to look presentable and not look like they just got out of bed, came in for the biscuit because that's what I was craving.. highly recommend with our without the gravy... read more

I'm here for spring training baseball games and one of the men in our group suggested we come here from breakfast before heading out to a game and the two of us did. The restaurant about a 1/2 mile from our hotel so walked here. I ordered a chocolate chip and banana pancake that was absolutely delicious, maybe the best I've ever had. Bella, our server, could not have been nicer. She has a great sense of humor, was helpful in answering any questions and came back a couple times during our meal to see if we needed more tea, water or anything else. The restaurant is on University Dr. not far from ASU so an easy walk from the college. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area for breakfast or lunch. read more

For my first visit, I ordered the New Mexico omelette with house fries, tomato slices, and sourdough toast. The food came out quickly, and every bite was delicious. The staff made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, regularly checking in with me. Joseph was my server and did an excellent job. He was attentive and on top of everything. There was also another young lady who took my order and checked in with me a few times. I didn't catch her name, but she was very sweet and professional. Between the two of them, they really sold the experience. As for the ambiance, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a classic American diner, but very comfortable. There was plenty of natural light, minimal noise, and the entire place was very clean. read more

5 star service, 3.5 star food. I liked the home fries -- much closer to potato than fried, which I like. Plenty of food but not too memorable. read more

Amazing skillet coffee was good and French toast was awesome as well. Highly recommended. Will be back before traveling back home to CO.

Favorite breakfast diner in the area! Reasonable prices, large portions of fresh food and friendly service. Our serve Bella was so sweet and welcoming, and the girl who checked us out at the end was so kind. Even the man who dropped our food off was so pleasant and made sure everything was okay!

Tried this local place not far from my home on a Sunday for brunch and it was overall great! Tastes better than any other brunch place and is fairly affordable! The service was great and I loved to see the effort all the workers put in to make sure we have everything we need to enjoy this meal. I also liked the idea that you don't have to get a full portion of pancakes you can only order one. Will be back for breakfast soon! read more

Good was amazing! I definitely love the fact that there's different options to choose from. The service was great. When came in, the waiter helped us to the table and ask if I wanted any drinks besides water. The waiter also gave me extra time when I couldn't decide any thing. I would say, because this place is completely out of my well known area, I do love the environment. Similar to an IHOP or Denny's, which gave me comfort. I really enjoyed my time at Sunny's Diner. read more

I use to love this place but now it's going down hill this is the 2nd time they gave me my food and then gives me my check without asking if I want a refill or anything else. When you walk in they don't welcome you. Chelsea grabs the menus and walks to a table sets it down and walks away not knowing that I was suppose to follow her. It's a shame because I use to love it here but now I have to find somewhere else to take my family. read more

First time in our servers name was Cynthia and she was very sweet. She was attentive and knowledgeable of their menu which was very helpful. I had the waffle classic which was good except my syrup was given to me cold and made my food cold faster. Mike had the Mexican omelet which was huge, he got his with home fries and bacon. He had been here before so it may become a hide away breakfast joint for us, we'll see. They are only open for breakfast and lunch here. We enjoyed the dinning room booth seating which was Nice and spacious as I had my work with me, and it's nice and quiet if you are working. Cozy lil spot. read more

It's diner food-- nothing special. A little under seasoned. Server was nice. Parking lot was very full on a Sunday morning so expect to circle around a bit. read more

Service was OK, food was pretty good. We asked for a side of salsa and server said they were pretty small so we ordered 3.... The sides were very large and they charged us $2 each which we really only needed 1... so not sure on the miscommunication of sizes lol. Breakfast enchiladas with chorizo were good but the service really made it to be a 3 instead of 4 star review. read more

Been eyeing this diner for a couple months now since moving to Mesa. They did not disappoint, our server was a young gentleman who was attentive and kind. The BLT was sooo good, fresh produce (avocado is a must) and fries were not soggy and greasy. My boyfriend got the chocolate chip waffle and loved it. My only complaint is I wish they were open later for the breakfast for dinner lovers! Will return. read more

Breakfast Special Mexico Omlet got my husband's seal of approval. The Farmer's skillet is an easy choice for this vegetarian. Substitute pancakes for your side. They are mouth-watering. It always gets busy on Sundays around 10:00. So if you don't want a wait, get there early. Service is always efficient and always served with a smile. I love the old school look of the diner and you.have a great view of the mountain from the beautiful big windows. As a bonus, the last few times we have been there, they have SpongeBob playing. If you don't like SpongeBob we can't be friends. read more

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Sunny's Diner 1825 E University Drive Tempe Companion and I decided to try this restaurant for a breakfast and were totally surprised. Sunny's has been at this location for a long time and I have passed it by probably a hundred times without stopping in. While parking is a bit of a problem in a crowded parking lot, the inside is spacious. We were seated immediately and were offered a drink to start with. Coffee was very good and an assortment of creamers accompanied it. The menu is huge and it takes a bit of time to peruse the entire thing, but we eventually made our choices. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast which came with three eggs, hash browns and English muffin {my choice}. What arrived was a huge portion. A perfectly done portion of chicken fried steak along with 3 nicely cooked eggs the way I ordered them and excellent hash browns. All items were cooked exactly the way I ordered them. Companion ordered the Cowboy Skillet. Home Fries layered with sauteed onions, bell peppers, melted jack cheese, chicken fried steak and sausage gravy. Only complaint was that the portion was huge and could not be finished. Sanitation was good and service by Hailey was well above what is usual in diners. A good place for a breakfast or lunch but bring your appetite! 5 stars for excellent food, service and sanitation. A rarity these days. read more

I came here today with a friend and it was very busy. That was a good sign of what we had in store for food. The menu is one of the largest I've seen in a long while. I wanted to try everything! It looked so good. I settled on the California Benedict without tomatoes. The home fries were so good as well, I was on cloud nine. The eggs Benedict was really tasty too. My only issue was the hollandaise sauce was a bit too tangy. I'm not sure what it was but it was thicker and tangier than I'm used to with this dish. I would definitely order from here again and try many other menu options in the near future. read more

This is THE breakfast spot (I can't say for the other meals of the day because I only came for breakfast)! The variety of food you can get here is absolutely FANTASTIC! I got the normal French toast and it was just stellar. The feel of the restaurant is a good, classic, American diner. It feels very homely and it's just perfect in location. Now, what really puts this place over the top is the service, oh my gosh! Our server, Alex, was so efficient and quick and kind and not just kind to my family and I, but to his fellow coworkers!! It was just such a welcoming and fun environment for a Sunday. Thank you!! Will definitely come back for the other meals of the day. read more

Over priced for what you get. Their "home fries" is just a bland smashed up baked potato with no seasoning. I doubt I'd eat here again.
