    The owner and staff are amazing! It's not a chain spot and you know it's a mom and pop when you go in. It's warm, welcoming, and has enough seating. Basic coffee is all you need because the food is delicious. The stacker and special were great. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend.

    We ordered and paid our food at the register. The restaurant was a bit small. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, and pancakes and eggs. The biscuits and gravy were okay. It has a lot of butter and bits of bacon which I'm not used to. My son said the breakfast burrito was the best he has.

    FOUND THIS GEM ON YELP and was so thankful to have came by and check it out while working in Fresno. This little spot is awesome!! Do your life a favor and swing by if your the area. I came by on a Thursday and was happy to see they were serving up breakfast burritos. I went with a ham and cheese burrito and that thing was PACKED with flavor. It was also MASSIVE. A 10 out of 10 and worth every penny I spent. Thank you Sunnyside diner for the great food! I will defenitly be back for that burrito again. Till next time!

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Sandwich was simple and easy. The chef looked like he owns the place. He was very attentive to what I ordered and how to prepare the food to my preference. It had an old school type of fast food type of vibe without it being fast food type of food. Used fresh eggs and toasted the bread. I would go again for a sandwich. The coffee was simple diner type but it wasn't gross. It tasted fresh.

    The Sunnyside Diner is hands-down the best spot in South Fresno if you want quality food and great prices. Everything tastes homemade. The hamburgers are just like the burgers you make at home, and the omelettes are on another level. You can get a tri-tip omelette loaded with all the fixings, a carne asada omelette, or even a ground beef omelette that's honestly one of the best I've had. The dinners are great, and the clam chowder is excellent and extra clammy, just the way it should be. The breakfast burritos are awesome and at a great price, nice and large too. I can't say enough good things about this place. The customer service is always excellent.

    This is one of those little hidden gems that you don't always hear about. Why, who knows! But, if you haven't been it's well worth checking out. I've been here numerous times over the years & the food is always good, decent little set up & the owner is also friendly. It is a small spot with I think 5-6 tables, so seating is definitely limited. All in all: Good food, friendly service, but seating is very limited. However, it's always good to support our local small business!

    Wow this place caught me off guard. I was looking for a cute diner to get breakfast and there's not much in Fresno. We "settled" on this one. When we got there, who I believe is the owner, greeted us immediately and told us about their menu and specials. The portions are perfect size and left us completely content. My pancake platter was fluffy and full of flavor. My partners burrito had the perfect proportions of food inside. Will definitely be coming back when I come into town again!

    Sunnyside Diner... what a gem this place is! Came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, and I was so glad I did.Upon entering, I was greeted and asked if it was my first time there, and it was. Lupe showed me where the specials were and was so helpful. When ready, I went up to the counter and ordered. Though there are many comfort food options, I was also so pleased to see a Veggie Burger- it was very good, probably one of the best I've had at a restaurant-the patty was crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, and very flavorful. I asked for a side of rice, and I had a choice of Spanish Rice, Jasmine Rice, or Rice Pilaf. I had the Rice Pilaf. My food came out pretty fast and very fresh, and might I say, for a diner, their attention to presentation and detail was very commendable. The fries coming with the burger was awesome, I ate them so quickly, couldn't get enough! The decor is very simple, but has all you'd need, clean tables and chairs. While I ate there, two more groups came in and it was their first times too- they all received the same cordial & helpful greetings. Good food, good value, good service- I'm one happy camper, and I will return again!

I've been a few times, and I remember going for the first time about 9 years ago. I remember peering off of Herndon and what a cute red building that looks awfully busy and had a gravel parking lot. Back then it felt very hard to eat here, you had to get here early before the lot filled which obviously means the food is good. Today we were met with kind service and were immediately sat in the out door seating. Which we didn't mind because it was fresh. All the staff members were incredibly kind to me, and I really appreciated the nice compliments and overall vibe this establishment offers Breakfast menu is both American and Mexican inspired which is a plus for this bilingual gal, We stared off with a Mermaid Mimosa for the birthday boy and a Bloody Mary for me. Red Apple gets straight to business as I'd say their drinks are worth the price as they are poured well. I'm a Benedict girl, I went ahead and ordered the smoked salmon Benedict which came with some flavor potatoes. The bene was 10/10 I felt I could really taste a high quality salmon and the egg was perfectly poached. Birthday boy ate the Country fried steak at my recommendation. Pared with potatoes and pancakes. It's safe to say the plates were left cleared. Overall I've never been disappointed here and I'm happy to say my guest enjoyed it for their first time as well. There's a reason that parking lot stays busy

The biscuit and gravy are definitely home made. The biscuits weren't perfect they were odd shaped like a dome and the gravy was smooth and creamy not too thick or clumpy. I would definitely come back to try a different style breakfast combo with scrambled eggs, hash brown and bacon

    HUGE Thank You to our Server Jessica and the rest of the staff here! Everyone was so nice, Jessica…read moreespecially was super attentive, our coffees were always full, our food came out at a decent time and it was still nice and hot and she was so friendly throughout our time here, so Jessica if you ever see this, Thank you so much, we appreciate you! We happened to be in the area today with a failed trip to Lithia Ford for a car repair. We both were hungry and needed to choose between breakfast or Mexican food, we flipped a coin and the coin chose breakfast. I'm glad it did, cause right when we were heading towards another breakfast spot, we made the quick decision to just choose what was nearby. It's a restaurant name we've heard of, but haven't been, so we opted to give it a try. I'm so glad we did! Because the food was amazing and the service just as much! Parking lot was full but not too crazy, that luckily came after we were seated. Inside was nicely themed to Louisiana Bayou with gators and cute signs with quotes and a big tree in the seating area with sound effects of bugs from the swamp. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed with a nice greeting from one of the busy waitresses who let us know we would be seated in a moment. Our server Jessica came up with a smile and a warm welcome and had us follow her to our booth. We both started off with coffee and browsed the menu, this menu had some usual fair but definitely stayed in the theme of the restaurant with Louisiana cuisine, like andouille sausage as a breakfast meat choice. I went with their "Hucks Platter" which is 3 eggs anyway you want, choice of potatoes or hashbrowns and you can choose between a couple varieties of meats, steak, chicken fried steak, sausage, bacon and andouille. It also comes with a choice of side, being toast, homemade biscuit or their huckleberry bread? I played it safe and went with the white toast. I also went with the bacon cause I love me some bacon! It was hickory smoked and my goodness it was cooked to perfection! My whole meal was cooked perfectly! I truly appreciate the cooking staff for doing such an amazing job during a busy morning. Jess chose the Banana Foster French Toast and my goodness! It looked just as good if not better than the picture. It was loaded, thick and comes with a side of eggs and your choice of meat. She loved the French toast, she's never had Bananas Foster before but she said it was decadent, sweet and had a nice caramelized flavor. Would recommend and also get it again! We paid, "with tip" around $57, which isn't bad for most breakfast spots now a days. Especially when you're getting this kind of food quality and service. We never went without a fresh hot cup of coffee and a nice check in from Jess or one of the other servers to pick up a plate or ask us how we're doing. I do apologize for no pictures, when the food came out, it looked so good we just dug right in! We both would absolutely come back and eat here again if we're in the area or back in Fresno looking for a breakfast spot. If you're in and or from here, you should definitely make this your go-to breakfast spot!

I can't remember what my friends ordered. Portions are very good. We could have easily split a plate (my niece and I) and be okay. Classic American breakfast. Everything was good/satisfying. We all enjoyed our meals. I also got their Brown Butter Iced Coffee-- saw one of the guys that worked there drinking one behind the counter and asked what it was, lol. I can't say it was the best coffee drink I've ever had but it was still pretty good. Not strong though. Though I've written a raving review, when it comes down to the food, it's not the best breakfast I've had around Fresno. It would not be a first choice for me personally but I also wouldn't mind coming back if my friends wanted to. Plus, there's so much more to try on their menu so it's not fair to judge overall food off one visit. For now, they are a solid 4.
