Such a cute stop in a tight little restaurant. Amazing food. There is limited seating, but is well worth trying to get there and have an amazing meal. Staff is extremely friendly read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in the area. It's family owned and the service is always amazing. Everything is affordable. It's a little outdated in style and could benefit from some updates in the hodgepodge of random decorations but the food is great. They have great sweet potato pancakes. Shrimp and grits. The eggs always freshly cracked (none of that powder or liquid that some breakfast spots have lowered themselves to). There is not much seating and you have to seat yourself so be prepared to stand crowded together in the small waiting area or outside if you go during peak times. That would be my only negative. Due to the seat yourself method my table has been quite nasty with left over syrup spills that I had to request to be cleaned. When you need to run to secure a table so quickly the cleaning after a party leaves gets overlooked. I would definitely go back. I was there like last week. read more

Great place definitely get the regulars are family feel. We had the Filipino breakfast and adobo omelet both were really good. Everyone is friendly and helpful. read more

If I had the chance to give 0 stars, I would. I went here based on the great Yelp reviews, but was sorely disappointed. The service was terrible. I should have left when the coffee tasted like old, burnt Maxwell House. The pancakes tasted like rubbery cardboard. The syrup was some sort of off brand with fake maple flavor. The cinnamon bun was overpriced at $4 for a thin, hard, stale bun that was not good. The grits tasted like instant, and the 48% vegetable oil "Whipped Spread" didn't help matters. 3 waitresses walked by my table after I had pushed 90% of my pancakes and 90% of the cinnamon roll to the other side of the table and totally ignored the large amount of uneaten food. NO ONE asked if the food was good, and now I'm out $20 and had to go to another place to have a decent cup of coffee and get full. read more

I have been going to Sunrise since they opened. My children now take their kids there! Everyone is very friendly and the food comes in big portions with excellent prices. I always highly recommend Sunrise Breakfast Shop! read more

The food was good, but the service was disappointing. The staff kept walking past me and my girlfriend and wouldn't acknowledge that we were there. I get the Covid pandemic establishment limits, but at least a good morning would've been nice. read more

Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Great service and you will get seated almost immediately.

Everything about this family friendly spot makes you feel like you just scored. The restaurant is small, but the warm atmosphere is big. The staff is great and the food is awesome. Everything we ordered was well prepared, flavorful, and served hot and fresh. This place will be a regular. I highly recommend for a weekend breakfast great. read more

This place has been here forever and I didn't even know it my girls and I were out and about and I wanted real food. I yelped and this place came up and it was close to where we were. The service was nice and the food was delicious read more

Small local dive spot. Staff was friendly. They came to us as soon as we sat down and we were there for breakfast. Drink arrive quickly. Food order was taking also quickly and was up quickly. Our portion sizes were plenty. food was ok. The sausage biscuit gravy was thinner than we liked the omelet wasn't as we expected but generally everything tasted ok. read more

This is now going to be our go to breakfast spot. The staff is super nice and I never ran out of coffee. My boyfriend had the Filipino breakfast and said the fried rice tasted just like his mom's. I would have to say the pancakes are my favorite, tasted like vanilla cake and super fluffy read more

Love this place. The staff is so friendly and quick. The food is great. I like the Filipino/Cajun menu. Coffee is the best in this town. Tip: Get there early this place can get packed quick. read more

The food was okay at best. Had to wait for a table. Was overlooked by the server and then once I was finally served waited on the food. Disapointing. And was shocked when I got the ticket at how much it was. I get better service and food at IHOP. Was hoping for more. read more

Breakfast cooked perfectly and the customer service was fantastic! Place just looks like it could use a little makeover, but clean and still an easy gem to miss. Don't drive past it...worth it! read more

Really enjoyed this place. Very clean, polite people, and quick and good food. My family and I went here on a Saturday and everyone of us left full and happy. Will be back again, best breakfast I have had in Chesapeake! read more

The visit was going great, my friend and I loved the atmosphere it made us feel very at home. The waitresses were very helpful and nice. The food came out fast as well. My friend got the corn beef hash and he saw that there was a hair in it. Obviously he didn't want to eat it anymore and asked for it to be remade. He was really nice about it and told the waitress that it was really good but he doesn't feel comfortable with his plate anymore. She brought out a new plate of corn beef hash and my friend ended up finding a piece of cardboard in it. At this point we were done with this place, we didn't want to eat anymore from here but we wanted to let the waitress know what we found just so they are aware for any future mishaps. He told one of the other waitresses and she just looked at him in his face and sarcastically asked him what he wanted her to do about it. He was taken aback by her response and she just walked away, a few minutes later i guess the boss or manager came by and was explaining to us how they don't make the cornbeef hash, it comes from a jar and she said it was the factories fault. So she's just smiling and trying to divert our attention to other things like my friends shoes etc. She somehow removed herself from our table and went to talk to a neighboring table and she never came back. My friend was getting annoyed so he went up to find someone to pay. He was trying to get them to take off the cornbeef hash meal but she said that she will only take 50% off because he ate half of it. Are you kidding me my friend found a hair and a piece of cardboard on our first experience at this place, we will never ever be going back. The customer service was absolutely terrible and they were making it seem like we were in the wrong for bringing this issue to light. The food was not that good either, just plain, not worth the price. read more

This place has HANDS DOWN become my new favorite place to eat lunch. I was constantly on the hunt for a place to eat lunch with my son, Merlin, during the week that had good food but wouldn't break the bank. This place was the answer to that prayer. Every day they have a different lunch special: Monday - Baked Chicken, Meatloaf, or Country Fried Steak with mashed potatoes, gravy, and a choice of vegetable (usually, corn or green beans) Tuesday - Pork Chop, Hamburger Steak (both with mashed potatoes and veggie) or Filipino Special of Lumpia, Pancit, and White Rice Wednesday - Baked Ham and Cabbage or Open Faced Turkey Thursday - Chicken and Dumplings, Chicken Adobo, or Beef Stew Friday - Sheppard's Pie or BBQ Sandwich I typically take Merlin there between Monday and Thursday. I'm not a huge fan of Sheppard's Pie or BBQ Sandwiches, so we tend to cook lunch that day. The best part is that their lunch special only cost $6.99 and they include the meal, sides, tea (sweet or unsweetened), and a desert! Honestly, our favorite days are Baked Chicken and Pork Chop days. However, the chicken and dumplings is pretty freaking good. Also, the baked ham and cabbage is excellent! You can't really go wrong at this place, to be honest. It is definitely a fan favorite of our's. read more

They should rename this the Fox News breakfast shop. Every TV in this small location has Fox News playing all day. The facility is moderately clean, saw a waterbug or roach crawling on the bar but realistically that exists in most restaurants, I've been to this location many times before and never saw any bugs and never got sick. The food is decent and affordable. The waitresses are very nice and attentive. I'm just not a fan of having Fox News shoved down my throat. read more

Cute, unassuming little diner with pretty good breakfast. We stopped in after church. No wait. The staff was really friendly. The food was great with a home cooked feel; nothing fancy, fresh, simple and good. It was nice to get in and out. They got our order a little backwards, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, excellent experience! read more

If you live close and want a great breakfast, drop by here. Service was great and the food was delicious at this local place. If I'm in that area, I will go back for sure! read more

Oy, how I've debated reviewing my beloved breakfast secret. When I want all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch gluttony, I go to Swan Terrace. When I want a fast food breakfast biscuit, I go to [name your random fast food joint], but when I want cheapo no-frills, cooked-with-heart, and served-with-a-smile breakfast, usually after a standard Saturday workout, Sunrise is where I go - to gain it all back, of course. Not to be confused with the Va Beach cafe. Depending on what you order, it's usually a decent amount of food. I'm boring, so I'm good with my two-egg sunny-side-up breakfast with pancakes and grits and toast and bacon and... yeah, when I go, I go mega here. But heck, it's usually less than 10 bux, including the coffee! So why the debate? Well, with most hole-in-the-walls, it's the locals' secret. Stuck in a random strip mall near the Great Bridge Bridge [what a stupid bridge name], there's certainly not much to recommend it from the exterior. Weekend mornings are usually packed with locals, half-Filipino, half-otherwise in their smallish dining area. [Oh, did I mention it's Filipino-owned? The menu also includes select Filipino breakfast items that I have yet to try because I can't get over my two-egg obsession.] Much as I would love to spread the word about this place, I also kinda want to keep it my baby. I don't need more competition for the tables on my random Saturday mornings! But alas, this love should be known. Others should be able to enjoy the loveliness that is Sunrise. So forget your IHOPs and your Shoneys and get thee to Sunrise. read more

Popped in for brunch today. Happy to know that this is Filipino owned. That being said, I was hoping for a plethora of Filipino food options. Not that I know what would make a Filipino breakfast menu but apparently there's only one choice on the menu: longanisa or tocino, fried rice, two eggs and toast. I had no choice. That's what I went with. It was a decent meal. Nothing that made me do my happy food dance but it was decent. If I were to go back I'd probably give the American fare options a try. The staff was extremely friendly. Of course, they spoke the Filipino dialect so I just sat there nodding my head. I would say that a place like this with its diner-like set up caters more to the older crowd. The retired to be precise but it does set up nicely for families. read more

I love this restaurant for breakfast daily specials are my favorite. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. Great for place to get together with family, friends, or co-workers. Food is home style short order. Very clean and great and not loud background music. This is a good place to stop by on the way to the OBX. read more

First, I will say I know the owners of this place and being a waitress here was my first job. With that in mind, I probably hold higher standards to the place than sing of false praises. I came here with a bunch of people from church after service and the place was already packed before we got a chance to sit down. Luckily, my group was able to find tables throughout the place for all of us to spread out. We placed our orders and got drinks first. I am a huge fan of the sweet tea here. If Gloria is making it, then I know that it has the perfect amount of sugar that might induce some diabetus if I drink this on the regular. Some true southern style ice tea that I hold all others to a standard. Enough about the drink. Food. I hardly ever order lunch since this place really delivers on breakfast. Two words: Home Fries. As for lunch, I got a cheeseburger and fries. Both were tasty and delivered hot. I will say that the burger was probably what I could make at home, but this place is all about home cooking. No fanciness, just good food. Service. Like I said, this place was packed. My group of about 20 or so didn't help, but they pushed out the food as fast as they could even with a cook short. My table was one of the last to get food, but I know we all enjoyed the food and Natalie, our waitress, kept track of all of our requests for extra sauces, refills, etc. All of the waitresses are very friendly and you can see the bright personality of the place in the owner, Vergie, once you get up and pay as she's usually by the register. Friendly service and a great home cooked meal will keep you coming back. read more

I met some friends for breakfast and I loved this place it was so good . I got the Filipino breakfast and it was really good , if they had a garlic fried rice instead of a more American fried rice it would have been perfect and would have given the 5th star . read more

Cockroaches and rodents in bathroom food was great however May want to bring some snap traps and glue boards on your next bisit

After reading the Yelp reviews my wife and I decided to give Sunrise a go, we weren't disappointed. Our server Jamie was extremely friendly and fast with our coffee and water. The eggs were cooked exactly as we would have wanted them, the grits were perfect, the coffee basic and strong. The pancakes were by far the best we've had in ages. I ordered the blueberry, my wife the sweet potato. The pancake was so loaded with blueberries, every bite bursting with, er blueberries. My wife's pancakes was sooo good. The special pancakes were $1 extra over the plain pancakes that came with the meal. Two breakfast's with the special pancakes, two coffee's with taxes was just under $20. not bad at all. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I went to this place after searching for some ma/pa style breakfast shops one morning. It was a great find! As can be expected, we had to wait a little, but these guys do a great job of getting people in and out AND not making you feel rushed about it. We tried all the traditional American breakfast fare between the two of us- eggs, french toast, pancakes, fruit bowl...it was all great. They also have Filipino style breakfast. Everything seemed reasonably priced and our server was pretty attentive. Will definitely visit again.... As some have said, it's a little hole in the wall and easy to miss. For us, the marker was the CHKD thrift center. Sunshine itself is in the next shopping center over, but the CHKD is easier to spot. read more

Absolutely love this place. Great food. Fabulous service. Can't wait to go back. The Filipino Breakfast was awesome.

Each of our meals were less than $7. My meal was less than $5. I had... I think it's called Kaylee's waffle?... I can't remember, but it's the waffle with the strawberries and whipped cream. When we arrived, there is a sign in the entryway that tells you seat yourself. We had beat the crowd and was able to choose a booth. There was a young man wiping down the table and he welcomed us to the restaurant. A waitress quickly greeted us and took our orders. We immediately noticed they offered a Filipino dish and it was clear to us that this was a Filipino family owned restaurant. How cool! Our waitress was friendly. The food was delicious, the tables, plates, and utensils were clean, and the prices were affordable. My only recommendation is that they should update the décor. read more

I could never go to Sunrise enough times. I absolutely love everything about this restaurant- the friendly staff (LOVE the owner/manager Mrs. Vergie!), delicious range of breakfast/brunch/lunch (with Filipino food as well!) and the wonderful homey ambiance. Been going here my entire life -literally- I grew up in this place. I'll continue to choose it over IHOP, Broken Egg, Shoney's, etc. due to the happiness radiating through the restaurant and through me when I leave. :) read more

Extremely friendly, family ran, local restaurant. It's not too often I can order a Filipino breakfast with grits to satisfy my multicultural palate and how I adore them for it. Although in my opinion, breakfast is the most boring meal of the day...I would gladly wake up in the morning and tag along with my breakfast addict of a husband and chow down. read more

When I don't cook my own breakfast or wake up hungry on a sat morning I come here and always have a good meal. Its family owned and operated, friendly staff and very popular with the locals, It can fill up fast in the morning so get there early, I love the country fried steak and have it almost every time, they prices are also very reasonable and you can feed 3 people , very well for 30-40$. Its down to earth, genuine home cooked meals however being owned by people from the Philippians means they also have authentic Filipino breakfasts to! If you live in this area you should come by, bring a paper, get a coffee and enjoy a nice home made breakfast, way better then wasting your time and money at a chain. You will be glad you did. read more

A great "Go to" breakfast spot. Fast friendly service with great diner breakfast fair. One of those lil diners that's in need of complete make over but ya can't change a thing or you'd ruin the feeling of a great little diner that's not a fast food chain. Love the grits & perfectly cooked bacon...and the eggs are cooked to order with pure perfection. I'd love to try everything on the menu !! read more
