This was our first time trying Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge. Safe to say, we were NOT disappointed. Expected a decent amount of pancakes in my boyfriend's order, but was pleasantly surprised to open the pancake box and find a colossal stack of pancakes, so large that the takeout box couldn't withstand the weight of the pancakes. Not only was the serving size MASSIVE, but they were delicious. Yummers! read more

Just had breakfast at Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge and was charged $10 more for the same exact meal. Interesting my bill had a new charge of $4.99 to add bacon when I actually substituted bacon for chicken in the Chili Verde Omelet. According to the son-in-law of the owner, substituting bacon for chicken now requires them to enter "add bacon" in the system so the cook knows what to do and that come with a $4.99 price bump per plate!! Is this actually the new owners intent?? Seems disingenuous to me!! My wife and I have been loyal customers for 9 years - well we are done; never going back!! Enjoy the $10 up charge because you will never see another penny of my money. I am curious, does the menu say there will be a 33% up charge for substitutions?? read more

Another great breakfast Sunday morning at Sunny Side had my usual chimney supreme deep-fried coffee had way too much coffee, but it was so good. Beautiful day. Try Sunny Side out. I think you'll like it. Service was awesome. Of course I took the picture late after I ate 3/4 of it. read more

We decided to try this place after a hike nearby and it did not disappoint. I got the flattened chimi with added bacon and it was fire!!! The service was amazing, and the place filled up super fast. We sat at the bar watching all the yummiest drinks go out, and it was obvious half the people there were regulars which is always a good sign. Will for sure be back! read more

My husband had the American Breakfast; was $16 and it only came with 1 egg and the biscuit was hard as a rock. I had the Eggs Benedict with fruit, it was just ok. Not impressed! read more

We have been regulars at Sunnysides since it opened. Sadly our trusty favorite breakfast spot is just not as good as it used to be. We walked in and the restaurant was freezing cold and apparently no one knows how to turn on a heater. So we sat and ate our breakfast in the cold. They are now charging 3.5 for a side of toast that no longer comes with the chicken fried steak. The buttermilk pancakes and the corn beef hash have always been my favorite and even those tasted different and were not nearly as good. Sadly, new ownership is showing and not in a good way. Service is always good here though. If you get the servers that have been here with the prior ownership. Looks like we will be on the hunt for a new favorite breakfast spot. :( read more

We waited 30 minutes. Then we sat for 14 minutes will ABSOLUTELY NO ONE coming to our table. But we watched another table have 4 different service persons go to their table to see how they were. This is really not okay, especially with 6 servers on staff and 10 empty tables. Wanted to try but the only thing we received was disappointment. read more

The food was mediocre. We ordered the Denver Omelette and it was okay, nothing amazing. You have three choices for fries, but two of the three have a seasoning so I ordered the option that was plain, tater tots. The tater tots were cooked nicely. The reason for my 1 rating has to do with customer service. When the bill came, I presented my Dining Advantage coupon that I purchased on the Dining Advantage app. You essentially pay a price ahead for the coupon and then it's suppose to give you BOGO at the establishment. The server said that they would not take the coupon and that there was a sign on the door. I asked the server where this sign was located because it definitely not something most average customers would see. On my way out, I saw the sign to the right of the door on a small little index card. Hence why most customers would not even notice it. The problem I have here is that it's now on the customer instead of the restaurant to get on Dining Advantage to get this coupon removed. Think about it, why would Sunnyside Breakfast Lounge want to be taken off their coupon program when it's clearly bringing in business (like me) and then they don't need to honor it. I think I'm just so annoyed because the coupon brought us to this restaurant and if I had known I would have gone to Red White and Brew down the street that for the same price was better food and larger portions with leftovers! read more

Slow service - just about zero customer service while there. Normally a server will come at once to find out what kind of beverage you'd like .we waited quite a while for that as even tho only two other tables had guests . Not once did our server stop by to find out if we needed anything else. Maybe she was having a difficult day, but still..... Also my lox bagel had smoked / cured salmon , thick cut , a bit chewy and super salty to the point it burnt my mouth. So definitely not lox but cured salmon ( everything else was delicious and I ate it all except the salmon which I did not eat and asked our server to let the chef know that it was salty to the point of burning the mouth) My husband had a burger with the house potatoes and all was very good. read more

Went Friday morning before going to spring training (Go Mariners!!), had to wait maybe 10 minutes before once we were sat the waitress was on top of it! Good menu selection for a picky eater and more adventurous eaters. I got the breakfast chimi add mushrooms as well as someone else at our table. I loved it! The salsa had great flavor with almost no spice which my table mate loves because they are a baby (self admittedly) when it comes to spice. Very cute interior and dim lighting for a breakfast joint. If you're close by, you should definitely stop in! read more

Pretty terrible service. Only 5 tables were sat. No line. Pretty dead. Took 15 mins after being sat for anyone to come up. Then took about 20 mins for the drinks. The michelada was just tomato juice (way too much) & kind of flat beer. The mimosa was small & tasted like carbonated koolaid. Both drinks weren't very cold either. Didn't even want to wait for our orders. Just left after each taking a sip of our drinks. Normally I don't write bad reviews, but I'm not sure how the rating is so high. Terrible service & mediocre drinks. read more

4.5 stars. Service is a full 5 stars. I believe this is family run. At least it has that feel. I didn't ask but seems like the greeters were kids of the people in charge. The whole staff was friendly and outwardly engaging. My server was Hilary and she was outstanding. On top of everything including small talk. Food is fresh and well prepared. I would call it elevated diner food if I were to give it a category. I also thought it was cool that they have a guide on the menu of all the different ways you can have your eggs cooked and what to expect with each. Despite being a fairly large place, the space is nice and lends really well to intimacy as the restaurant is broken up into separate sections including a fully shaded outdoor patio. Will definitely be back. read more

We came for brunch. We only waited 15 minutes for a table. Off to a good start. We ordered and then waited an hour for our food. I ordered oatmeal with banana. 2 minutes before they bring out the food the waiter tells me they are out of bananas. He asked do you want the other fruit instead? I say well is it gonna be free at this point. He says no. Really I waited an hour for my oatmeal that was I am sure precooked and you just realized you didn't have the fruit I ordered? Then you make me pay for the replacement? Not gonna return. No worries Kyle super customer service get a bad review and reply with rudeness. Exactly the kind of service I experienced and would expect from your establishment. I was not asking for my whole meal to be free just the $1.50 fruit add on since I waited an hour for something. I won't be back and I will tell all my friends not to go there either! read more

This place sucks. The food is awful. Makes no sense why it has such a high rating. Maybe because of that guy who rates it 5 stars every week. Go somewhere else for breakfast. read more

Service was so slow. It took more than 10 minutes to be greeted by our server, then we sat for 30 minutes with no one coming to refill drinks or give us status on our food. The food took 45 minutes to come to the table after we ordered. It arrived barely warm, with small portions. My husband's guacamole was old and black served in a plastic ramekin. My eggs were rubbery. The only redeeming quality to our experience was my glass of OJ which cost $6. read more

It's been a few years since I've been here, because I had moved but recently came back to the area. Sunnyside was one of my favourite places for breakfast/brunch. Unfortunately, when I cam back to this location, the service we received was quite awful. There may have only been on server on a weekday morning, but initially there were only three tables occupied at the time we were making our order. The server misinterpreted our order and only brought us a single side item instead of the meal with the side we asked for. Without checking on us, the server then just gave us the bill. We noticed the bill only had one item, so we waited for him to come back and pointed out that we actually ordered a meal. The server was not apologetic and instead insinuated it was our fault for misleading him. When the meal finally came up, he did not bring us any extra plates to help us share, which we did specify we were going to do when we ordered both the first and second time we placed the order. Our server also never bothered to come back and offer us an extra plate while we were eating and clearly having trouble over one plate. We were so put off but the poor service that we did not want to trouble our server more by asking for additional plates. It seemed like every request we made was met with a literal sigh. The food and coffee were admittedly very good, so props to kitchen for that, but the service that day was appalling. We still tried to be friendly, but our server still could not give us the time of day. read more

One of the best breakfast places I've been to in years, which is why I've visited here the last two times I've been in the area.

read the ads and reviews...this is the worst breakfast I have had EVER. Took over 40 minutes for food in an almost empty restaurant. Ordered the all american breakfast. Bacon was sort of warm ,sausage was cold, egg was hot, potatoes were warm, sausage gravy was cold and COMPLETELY raw flour. biscuits were tough.Not worth the over $17 read more

This is my favorite go to for breakfast. Anytime we come, we are always greeted by the host/hostess and usually get sat right away. The food is amazing. My go to is the bagel sandwich and it is alway on point. I love that I have the choice of breakfast sides including tots which I always get. They come out golden brown and crispy. The service is amazing. Every waiter/waitress is always kind and attentive no matter how busy they are. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. We came for breakfast on a Friday morning. When my wife and arrived we were greeted and shown to our table. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He took our drink orders. I had coffee my wife ordered orange juice. I noticed someone in the prep area running oranges through a juicer, so you know the juice is fresh. After reviewing the menu, i decided on the chimi supreme. Chile verde smothered chimi filled with chorizo. ham. bacon, sausage. pepper jack cheese, egg and potato. Topped w th pico de gallo and crema. It comes un fried, but for 50 cents more I chose to have it fried. I cut it down the middle and realized this chimi was the size of two normal chimis. I spooned the chili verde ovet the two halves. The flavors harmoniously worked together to create a mouthwatering sensation. I was barely able to finish it. I was impressed with this cafe. The service and quality of food is above average. This restaurant will hold a place on my favorite breakfast list. read more

Slow service and cold food. Took 1.5 hrs to serve our table of 2. Won't go back and don't recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious and a bigger portion than expected , my husband got the breakfast tacos which were chefs kiss yumm; I had the waffle with pecans and cream ...next time I'll get the cream on the side because it over powered the waffle and I felt like I wasted half of my meal / service was friendly and a good chat but a little slow , the male server I saw assisting the couple next to us was amazing though so maybe our server was having some outside of work issues as she stayed on her phone. Ambiance was chill, good vibes I love the art on the wall. read more

Amazing brunch / breakfast spot! Everything on their menu appears to be made to order, meaning it's fresh. The atmosphere is country casual & the light aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice fills the air. The coffee was great & my cup was never empty; they're on top of coffee refills! Our server was super patient as our party reviewed the menu... the options seemed limitless! After making a suggestion about the Plain Jane Eggs Benny, he took our order. When our order came, it seemed like no time had passed. The food presentation was as exceptional as the food itself. I loved Sunnyside's take on a classic Eggs Benedict & will definitely be ordering this again in the future! We highly recommend Sunnyside for breakfast / brunch - you won't regret going! read more

Loved our first visit! What a menu. We all chose different breakfast options and equally loved them. My only small quinnle was with the fruit sides- really not good enough to serve with those wonderful entrees. Look forward to more visits to try more things! read more

Brunch for 6 here yesterday. Pleasant setting with comfortable outdoor seating. Menu is extensive with burgers and a number of Mexican entrees in addition to the normal breakfast entrees. We were seated quickly and service was polite and speedy. I ordered the large biscuits & gravy with a sunny side up egg on top (see photo). The egg was perfect. There were two huge biscuits that I would put in the "good but not great" category. The gravy was just OK - didn't see any bits of sausage in it, and the texture was a bit gelatinous instead of being smooth and creamy. Everyone else really enjoyed their meal. Nice "everyday" place, but I think they need a "signature" dish or two to crank it up a notch. read more

We love going to Sunnyside because the food is great and not the traditional choices that chain restaurants offer. the service is great too!

Usually the food is ok Today not so much I ordered Eggs Benedict Which tasted and looked like something you would get at a fast food the potatoes they serve are over seasoned so I chose Tater Tots awful they need to cutdown on their seasoning read more

the fresh squeezed juices are fantastic and the customer service is good. The food was a bit disappointing, the tater tots were dry and didn't have much flavor. The French toast and omelettes were very "mid". There are lots of good reviews for this place so maybe we ordered the wrong thing? read more

YUM! So happy I came here for breakfast. Service was excellent, flavors were good. I tried a Mexican-inspired crepe & a bite of my husband's deep fried supreme something - amazing. If I lived in the area I think this would be my go-to breakfast spot. Inside & outside seating, private parking lot. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Waitress couldn't be bothered to introduce herself let alone a greeting in general. She acted as if us eating there was an inconvenience for her. Within the first 10 minutes we felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. I get having a bad day but taking it out on customers? Seriously? We felt so uncomfortable that we had to cancel our food order and pay for our drinks and leave. Nobody especially our waitress asked if there was an issue while we payed. Would never recommend this place. read more

Food is delicious, clean restaurant and employees are nice. I was disappointed seeing on Yelp the 20% off your order and the manager said they do not offer it. She said it's for Door Dash? On the window by the entrance it says check on Facebook for an offer. I mentioned that and she said they don't offer it. Why have the sticker on the window? read more

We stopped here after a hike at Saguaro Lake. We were happy to learn that their patio is dog friendly. The outdoor patio was great. Our server Luis was friendly and funny. The prices were a bit on the high side, but the food was really good. I had the biscuits and gravy, my favorite dish, and their gravy was super flavorful and the biscuits were huge! And the coffee was good too. We got two scrambled eggs for our dog and they brought her a good-size plate of eggs. Everyone else liked their food. My wife had the All American. She said the potatoes were crispy. What really made this place great was the great staff and service and the good food. I was sad that I forgot to take pictures. I was pretty hungry. read more

Food was great as usual, try the Boston cream pancakes. I get them everytime I'm here. Crepes are fantastic as well! Service was super, very friendly staff. I don't really get some of these reviews complaining about egg surcharges or comparisons to IHOP/First Watch. We should be supporting small, locally owned business that serve our communities. read more

Manager here is rude. Yelp is for describing if we like the food and service. Everyone has different likes and opinions. Yes we complained about a lot of things in a previous review and manager defended alot, but was not very nice. Our silverware was dirty and we didn't even have any food or coffee yet to make them dirty ourselves Food was not hot and our waitress did not bring it to us. We didnt like the coffee she said was a french roast, the waitress did say it was a new coffee distributor since they were not able to get from there normal one anymore. I have never been to a breakfast place where the coffee was not drinkable. We know what good breakfast is like for example at First Watch a mile down the road at McKellips and the one on Dobson, they have great amazing food and coffee. They are also consistent in serving good food with containers of coffee on every table. The managers comment about we should go to IHOP totally uncalled for. I do not feel we were rude, we were being honest about our feelings, we just expected better as my friend had been there a few years back and said was good and were expecting same. read more
