I went in just before 9:00 AM to catch their breakfast specials and was honestly so excited to try their fried rice. When we walked in, the sign said to seat ourselves. The waitress who helped us was incredibly nice and took the time to answer all of my questions. Unfortunately, my excitement was cut short when I went to order the #6 breakfast special and found out the fried rice was pre-made with ham, and there was no option to get it without meat. Since the fried rice was out, I pivoted and ordered the #1 Special: 2 eggs (requested soft scrambled with cheese) 2 pieces of bacon (asked to hold the bacon) White toast Home fries Side order: Egg rolls to go The execution of breakfast was pretty disappointing. The eggs weren't soft scrambled, the cheese on top wasn't melted, and the home fries were very hard. To top it off, the whole plate came out at room temperature. I didn't make a fuss or send it back because it's a small, family-owned restaurant and they clearly have a lot of loyal regulars who love them. Overall Verdict: Breakfast Food: 5/10 Egg Rolls: 7/10 The service alone makes it worth giving them another shot. While breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I would definitely return to give their lunch menu a try. read more

If you're looking for a good breakfast, and a place that just feels comfortable when you walk in, be sure to check Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe. I went early on a Sunday morning (sometime around 6:30), and as soon as I walked in I was warmly welcomed by the staff. There were already a couple of tables seated, and I opted to sit at the counter since I was solo. Ordered the big breakfast (Two eggs over medium, bacon, home fries and toast) and a coffee. The food came out quickly, was hot and delicious and the price was spot on. I would 100% come back for both the food and the staff. It's nice having a place to go that feels like home. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The food was very very good but the service was amazing. We sat at the counter and was immediately acknowledged by Nell.

Great little breakfast spot! Located in an out of the way little strip mall it's easy to find, plenty of parking on a Thursday morning. Servers were attentive, informative and friendly. Coffee was always full and all servers seemed to make sure we had everything we needed. I had a ham & cheese omelette, home fries and wheat toast. Everything was great and the home fries were excellent; crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside. My wife had eggs and andouille sausage with home fries and a biscuit/gravy all of which was very good. Love the family atmosphere and would definitely return to explore the menu!! read more

The atmosphere in this place let's you know this is a great local spot to eat at! First time here, really clean inside and the waitress staff is really nice. The lady recommended the Big Breakfast Combo with rice and it was spot on everything was cooked to perfection. I enjoy trying new places especially when they make you want to come back! I will definitely be back, they do specials throughout the week for lunch as well. One of them was chicken & dumplings which would hit the spot lol. read more

I stopped by Sunrise Breakfast Shop, located on Battlefield Boulevard just before the Great Bridge Locks, recently to grab some breakfast, and I am very pleased with both the food and the service that I received.

What more could you ask for in a restaurant? read more

I thought the food was great! Coffee is okay but hot! (Which is a HUGE plus for me) my husband ordered the big breakfast and I ordered the 1/2 French toast with scrambled eggs and sausage links. I thought mine was great! I especially enjoyed the sausage links. I thought the French toast was perfectly balanced. Not so thick that it was mostly bread and not to eggy that it didn't taste like French toast. My favorite was surprisingly the scrambled eggs. I ordered them but regretted it immediately after I remembered they aren't usually good in restaurants. HOWEVER, I loved them! They were cooked perfectly! Not hard at all and not undercooked either. They were soft, fluffy and full of flavor. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that our server was only around to take our order and bring our food. She forgot the pancakes for my husband so we had to ask for those after we had already given it some time and asked someone else. I'm hoping they work as a team and share tips since 2 other servers stepped in to help. read more

Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe - Two eggs, two bacon pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe reminds me of the inside of one of my Filipino friend's (from childhood) home. It gives a very cozy feel with a hodge podge of decor. The staff is all very nice. Whoever is available will wait on you and assist with refilling drinking and whatever else may be needed during your visit. They have a large menu with a variety of options, and a huge plus to me, they serve lattes! I had the Filipino breakfast with scrambled eggs with cheese, fried rice, tocino (bacon), toast, and 2 pancakes. Everything was great! The tocino is not your typical American bacon. It is a lot thicker (even thicker than thick sliced bacon) and has a sweeter taste. The fried rice was a unique, but very tasty addition. I loved their pancakes! They were super fluffy without being dried out! I had plenty of food to basically take home a second meal. Oh and I also tried the home fried potatoes, and while they look bland, they are SO good! Flavorful, seasoned well. I will return to Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe. read more

Felt like home even when this is my first time to dine at Sunrise. Wonder why I waited this long?? The place was packed, indicative of the great warm friendly service and the delicious breakfast food. I had my craving for longanisa (labeled sweet sausage on the menu) so that's what I ordered: Filipino breakfast with sweet sausage (note:tocino is equally delicious) , fried rice, toast and 2 eggs your way. Can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff and I swear the ambience of hospitality is contagious, even the customers at the bar where I was seated were all friendly! Veronica the owner is immersed in serving the customers - taking to go cells, making delicious lattes...everyone chipping in in a cadence with no words needed to coordinate without missing a beat. That's what you get for being in business for 29 years! Definitely recommend, come one come all! read more

This is a gem of a cafe. Great food, with typical cafe and Pilipino offerings. A nice restaurant inside, comfy with booths and tables. The folks there very helpful, friendly, and attentive. Definitely recommend, especially the Pilipino choices! read more

What a delicious, interesting restaurant find! I definitely already want to eat here again! I love the pancakes. I definitely enjoyed that they were light, fluffy, and not greasy! I had some bites of my husband food and they made their grits just like I like to have them at home! Husband really enjoyed his meal. A small touch that I loved is their bendy straw! Who doesn't love a bendy straw! Service was nice and the restaurant had a cozy feel to it! Will return! read more

our go to breakfast for Sunday morning with best friends. superb attentive service, great food, cozy atmosphere. everyone smiles.

Nice little spot in Chesapeake near me. I brought my mom here on her visit and the service was super friendly and quick. Their menu is extensive and there are quite a lot of options to choose from, which is nice. The food is good but not "wow". Your standard diner food. I ordered the #5 special with a cappuccino. While the deal was good, the cappuccino was just ok. It tasted kind of fake, like the kind you get at the gas station (even though I saw an espresso machine behind the bar). Would definitely return and try other items! read more

Came here based on the rave reviews and was sadly underwhelmed. My food was okay, I ordered the big breakfast with spam, fried rice, and a biscuit. Everything tasted okay (hard to mess up spam and eggs), and the fried rice was really yummy. My daughter's bacon was not even warm and was like 1 or 2 strips almost like rolled into a ball or something. Her French toast tasted weird, almost like it was cooked on a dirty flat top with stale oil or something. Service was quite underwhelming. We were barely greeted by our waitress and were never checked on after our food was brought. read more

Locals' spot in Chesapeake with traditional breakfast fare as well as a few Filipino offerings (see picture of Filipino breakfast)! They were wall to wall packed on the Sunday morning that we visited, but the cooks kept food coming out of the kitchen quickly, and the tables turned quickly in turn. There was a line out the door but we were seated at a table within 15 minutes. The wait staff was very attentive, with 2 or 3 different folks checking on you, refilling your coffee, and bussing your cleaned plates. Our food was hot and tasty when it was brought to us. Their menu is pretty extensive and so we are looking forward to coming back and trying other items! read more

Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe has been around for over 25 years, and after eating there recently, I can see why. I've been wanting to try their Filipino Breakfast for a while now, and I'm really glad that I did. Baby, it was EV-ER-Y-THING! That tocino and fried rice with scrambled eggs did exactly what it needed to do. The food was well seasoned and really hit the spot. I enjoyed my iced mocha too, it wasn't too sweet, yet it didn't have a strong coffee taste either. I was also able to grab a bite of my friend's pork adobo omelet, and it was delicious as well, that's what I'll get next time I grab breakfast here. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Despite the place being packed, we were in and out in less than 45 minutes, with waitresses checking in on us throughout our meal; furthermore, my friends and I left both full and satisfied with the service, while making plans to make a return visit in the near future. (I'm serious about getting that pork adobo omelet girl! Lol) Overall, Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe puts a unique Filipino-American spin on the classic American Diner and I'm completely here for it. read more

We went to Sunrise after first trying a nearby spot that had an hour wait. We decided it looked worth a try, and immediately decided we were right upon entering. It has a family diner feel, and I would assume based on our experience that most staff are indeed family. They were very busy, but continued to seat people as quickly as possible, while getting out food quickly. There are Filipino options on menu that I wanted to try but wasn't so sure about, but may next time. Our food was basic but done well, especially the pecan pancakes and home fries. I'd love to see some less basic options for it to become a true favorite, but I'd definitely return for the classics and a cup of coffee. read more

I always get coffee or OJ and the Filipino Breakfast. It never disappoints. The service is amazing, quick and attentive. My coffee is always full and if I need something they are walking by often so it is easy to ask. I love the ambiance in the restaurant too. It feels local, small town, and welcoming which is hard to find in the 7 cities. They are genuine and kind people too. If you want to order like a pro: get the Filipino breakfast with over easy eggs and the sweet sausage. Bon Apetite *chefs kiss* read more

I have been hearing a lot about this restaurant. About what they do to the community and how they do a lot of mission work and support to a cause. I knew all this. So when I happen to pass by, of course I have to check it out. When I came in with my husband and mother in law. We see a very homey and family oriented place. I see a lot of big group people and some couple. But it seems that they all know each other or know the staff well and vice versa. You feel at home. More at home specially when we ordered Filipino breakfast. The service was quick. The owner and the daughter was there and they came to our table and spoke to us. The servers were great. Came with a smile and very efficient. They quickly recommended the specials when we ask them. Coffee was freshly made. The food came right away which is great. The food is excellent. Large serving and well seasoned. Very tasty and delicious. I could ask for more. Ha! Ha! I love every bit of it. We will definitely come back. We enjoyed the food, the service and the new connection. Love this place. Thanks for making my Mother in law feel accepted. Cheers. read more

Loved this small mom and pop restaurant. Simply homie. American breakfasts with a touch of small Filipino twists in a few dishes. The adobo omelet was great, it came recommended by a few friends so I had to taste and review. The order of lumpia (6) was homemade, the filling was seasoned well, I would however recommend a better sweet and sour sauce. The sauce packet that it comes with wasn't as flavored as the Thai chili sauce that we typically use for lumpia. The longs is a was delicious as well. Overall, a must try if you're looking for homemade dishes without actually making it yourself. We'll definitely be back since it's a two minute drive and so many other dishes to try. read more
