Super neat little find! Don't be deterred by the parking lot. Freshly brewed coffee car bar, with all the goodies to make it yourself, open spaces, lots of seating, clean and great service. I had the open faced omelette and it was huge! The bourbon coffee gets 5 stars! Check it out! read more

Had a bad meal at Sunrise Bistro. There was a long wait for the food to be one out, the wrong food came out for me, the English muffin was cold, the bacon was rubbery (like it was cooked hours earlier and then reheated then cooled off again before serving), and there were very few shrimp with the shrimp and grits. I had to endure my spouse complaining about the food the entire meal and refill my own water. read more

We ordered food at 11:10. Asked server about our food after seeing several tables that were seated after us receive their food. They said our food was next. We received our food at 12!! They did not discount our meal. The food was not remarkable. The French toast did not have any egg coating. I think they steamed bread. Positive-the servers are friendly. The coffee station has nice options. But they did run out of coffee while I was there. Have a QR code to pay. Mints offered at exit. read more

Wonderful bistro kind of place. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that likes to know your name and get you just what you want I like me the personal service and they make the corned feel hash so I go here whenever I can. I like the breakfast. The food is always hot and fresh. They make the biscuits too and you can have all the butter you want Try to get there well before 9:00 am or there is a wait. Busy from 9-11 am Wonderful local spot. read more

I've had the pleasure of eating here a few times while visiting Seabrook Island, and it is always consistently tasty. Their chorizo shrimp and grits are yummy, and hit the spot if you are craving a bowl of southern goodness. We also tried the ham Benedict, and it was a good spin to a breakfast classic. Definitely recommend for brunch or lunch! read more

Really awesome local employees that treat you like family even if it's your first time. Reminds me of a small hometown diner. Food was abundant and so so delicious. read more

This is my second time after one year in this location and I can say with confidence they are consistent with providing great service. This time I was particularly excited because I was able to purchase a pound of my favorite coffee "cinnamon and rum" and got to taste a delicious local salsa thanks to a waitress by the name of Mariana that suggested I try it. Did not regret a single bite. read more

Few times will I think a restaurant has earned 5 stars; but this little place does! They're always busy, service is quick, and items are priced well. Staff is kind, genuine and super friendly. If there's a mistake, they're ALL over it to make it right with the meal, receipt and in conversation. Coffee bar is awesome - I love being able to try a bunch of different types on my own without bothering anyone. The food is just like if I were to make we at home; nothing too fancy or crazy but just solid consistent and damn good. It's great for families, super clean and easily our favorite spot. We visited the area and ate here for years before moving to JZI; and this continues to be our favorite spot for breakfast! read more

I'll give this place mixed reviews The food is wonderful if you can get it They say they are open until 2:30 on Saturday, went a little before 2:00 was told the kitchen was closed even for to go orders. Hostess was very rude about it. I will say their eggs Benedict French toast fresh fruit fresh bread are wonderful. They have a coffee and tea, iced tea bar where you can serve yourself as well as mimosas. The waitresses at the bar are super friendly. There is usually a line before they open and a long wait, however the food is still wonderful. read more

Great tasting breakfast. The portions were large. They have a self serve coffee bar with many different flavors. The service was exceptional. Definitely a go to for breakfast. read more

Sunrise Bistro - 3 meat open faced omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Sunrise Bistro has fantastic service and excellent food. The chicken and waffles are outstanding!

Back again, today we went to Sunrise Bistro with my family. We got the Western Omelette, Country Fried Stake Plate, Breakfast Burrito, and the Avocado Stacker. We all finished our plates with a full stomach. This place may look strange from the outside but on the inside is where it really thrives. They have a self serve coffee bar with good coffee. The waitress was also very friendly and efficient. Overall I rate this place a 10/10. Love, Renegade Reviewer read more

Food is amazing, everything on menu is delicious! Brunch or breakfast it is worth the wait

Food is great and cheap, service was a bit odd. Some waiters yelling at each other, our waiter who was not involved did not talk to us other than take our order. Dropped the check on our table as she walked by, was just a really awkward experience. Fortunately the breakfast burrito with bacon was great, also subbed my side of grits for house potatoes at no charge so that was.. also great. My girlfriend ordered a vegetable omelette, looked good, I tried a bite and it sure had a lot of spinach on it! Food came pretty fast, no straws with the beverages. It would have been five stars if a couple of the waitresses didn't make it needlessly stressful! read more

Okay so this is my absolute favorite breakfast spot. I wanted to wait to get photos to post a review. I can order anything off Sunrise Bistros menu and not go wrong. It is absolutely amazing! The staff is super helpful and extremely friendly. The corn beef hash is cooked to perfection every time and the shrimp and grits are to die for. If you don't know what you want when you go in you can ask the staff for suggestions and they won't steer you wrong. They also have a coffee bar with multiple choices for coffee and creamers. read more

Don't let the exterior of the building detract you from going to this GEM of a restaurant. It looks like a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, but it's one of the best meals we've had while staying on Kiawah Island. We went on a Friday morning around 8:30--in the middle of COVID--and were seated immediately. The wait staff all wore masks (properly) and the tables were spaced out at a good distance. Hand sanitizer was stationed right inside the door. Food: I decided to branch out from my typical breakfast order and try the enchiladas rancheros with sausage. I subbed the grits for the house potatoes. My husband got the 3-meat omelet with a biscuit and side of sausage. We ordered our toddler a waffle with some bacon on the side. The food was AMAZING. Heads up -- the portions are large, and despite the delicious taste, I could not finish my whole meal. Service: Incredible. Amanda was our server and I was so impressed with her. We arrived with our toddler who had decided to wake up at 4 am that morning--needless to say, he was tired and grumpy and so were we. (Side note: There's a self-serve coffee bar that this mama quickly gravitated to.) She got his food out quickly and even came and entertained him for a few minutes so that we could scarf down a few bites of food in peace. The waffle we ordered for our son was supposed to come topped with powdered sugar and she ran out before inputting the order to see if we actually wanted the sugar--I emphatically said no. :) I appreciated that gesture of making sure everything we ordered was correct and what we needed. We will definitely be back the next time we're on the island! read more

This was my second visit to Sunrise Bistro. My first visit was to get a to go order. This time, a friend and I decided to go on Saturday morning for breakfast. There were several groups waiting for tables when we arrived. I was surprised there were so many awaiting tables as there were two empty, and three waiting to be bussed. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt-they seemed understaffed. However, they could have organized/informed better. It was confusing to know where to check in. A girl behind the counter finally asked if we had our name on the list. We stood and waited, and soon after our arrival, others were seated. After about 10-15 minute wait, we sat at the bar. I ordered the Omelette special, and my friend ordered the Smoked Salmon on bagel. Both were absolutely delicious. The omelette was cooked to perfection, and had delicious ingredients-chorizo, Monterey Jack, peppers, and more. My friend's smoked salmon was perfect. Lots of salmon, delicious cream cheese and a fresh bagel. The timing of food delivery was good considering that they were so understaffed. Our server was very sweet, and helpful. The only reason that I'm giving 4 stars is that the welcome was not excellent, and the service could have been better with more staff. I plan to go back soon to give them another look! read more

Sunrise Bistro - Nice decor...bright and cute bar area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Grit bowl...get it you will not regret it. The open face omelets are my second go to. Love the self service coffee.

Great find on John's Island. The service and food was excellent. Highly recommend it if you're in the area.

One of the best. Try the shrimp and grits with pulled bbq pork. Great staff and coffee and service

I ordered the poached salmon and a couple of platters of the sandwiches (varied) for a recent party. The sandwiches were cut into quarters; the bread was thick and delicious, not that skinny white bread, and the fillings were generous. Special hits were the tri-tip and the BLT. I'll have to remember to order more of those next time! Vegetarians were delighted to see veggie sammies on the plate too. The salmon was decorated with thin cucumber slices and served with a yummy yogurt dill sauce on the side. Everyone raved how good and fresh it all tasted. Great job Sunrise!! Thank you read more

The food was very good at Sunrise. The veggie omelette was delicious and colorful. I also really liked the Italian bread that came with the omelette and that's not something I'd usually have. The food was great, but I was very put off by the service and the behavior of the waitresses. We walked in and they were cussing to each other and didn't acknowledge us. Once we were seated, our waitress barely said a word or even looked at us. And they created an overall stressful environment running around and slamming things around. The woman who brought our food was very nice and actually talked to us but another waitress sat down at the table next to us and loudly complained about her job to some customers. I understand working in a busy environment, but this was over the top and really degraded our overall experience at Sunrise. read more

Found this little gem as we were looking for dog friendly options. So glad we chose here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was pretty tasty and came out quickly. The coffee bar was pretty cool as well. I would have given a five star but it was a little pricey. read more

This restaurant in John's island SC is awesome decor, excellent food and self service for tea and coffee. I along with my family had an awesome day in Charleston with a stop at the restaurant. I give 1000 stars to Jessica ( owner/chef/manager) for a job well done with opening up a business to invite locals and out-of-town families during Thanksgiving week. read more

Great spot for breakfast when you're on John's island. We went recently at prime time and the wait was only 10 min. They're also still distancing tables and limiting seating which is appealing to me. Food and service was great and fast! I did have to "doctor" my grits but they were still good. Will definitely visit again! read more

I absolutely adore this breakfast spot in Jon's Island. It has incredible specials, amazing omelettes, breakfast bowls and a coffee station. Today my friend and I had steak and eggs and I ordered a Caprese open faced omelette with fried green tomatoes, red tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, along with cheesy grits. It was heavenly! read more

SERVICE & food was Amazing!!! Working in the industry before, the owner/manager is so lucky to have those ladies!!! They worked with a sense of urgency and as a TEAM! Its hard to find that now a days. It's the first time I've seen it ever in my years going out to eat and I WON'T ever forget that experience. Keep doing what you ladies are doing!!! read more

First time at Sunrise Bistro and I have to give it a major thumbs up. The service was great and the food phenomenal! Everything was fresh and delicious. I got the breakfast platter which was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. read more

Yum! Yum! Really good breaky and prolly one of THE BEST burgers I've had. We've now tried their morning sandwich, build your own burger, fries and BLT all of which were absolutely perfect. Zero complaints. Lots of high-fives and standing ovations! If you're looking for simple, straightforward and tasty meals, this little bistro nails it! Seriously delicious burger. I couldn't believe how fresh, tasty, and spot on it was. Their fries are super delicious. They are very salty, but we like them like that, so just keep it in mind if you order them. Can't wait to go back! The staff are efficient, friendly and ready to rock! We've sat at the bar, and in the main dining area. It gets a bit loud in there but with a good vibe, people chatting and having a great meal together. Checking in and checking out are both quick and painless. The place is clean. The bathrooms are clean also. The biggest drawback? Very little parking and difficult to access, especially at peak times. They don't have very long hours of operation, which I think makes them even higher in demand. read more

Sooo many delicious options for breakfast, we love this place!! Get there early to avoid a wait. Coffee was wonderful. Be sure to ask for Aaron as your server, he was so knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations for us. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great Food ! Great prices ! The servings are plentiful, We generally go for the Breakfast. My husband and I get the Sampler and share it. We swap one slice of the French Toast for a fresh made Biscuit add an extra sausage patty and it's more than enough food for us both! We highly recommend Sunrise Bistro read more
