Sunrise Cafe - Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - DeWitt, Iowa

Friendliest staff I have ever encountered... worth time, very clean and neat, delicious.... a little pricey for what it is tho

Amazing breakfast I always enjoy coming back the food is amazing I love the omelettes and biscuit and gravy

Extremely disappointed with my omelet. I ordered the basic meat and cheese with no sides. I asked for bacon and asparagus...no cheese was in the omelet. Didn't even ask what kind I wanted. Finally said something to the waitress and she put a piece of cheese over the top and heated it in the microwave. Ordered a side of bacon, too. They gave me a dollar off for no hash browns. My total was 18.19 before tip. Way too high for what I got! Lost touch with reality. Enjoyed sitting and not being rushed! Probably won't be back! read more

It was right on Dewitt's Main Drag, 6th street, and without researching it before had I might've missed the opportunity to try this lovely breakfast all-day diner. Even though we didn't have breakfast items ordered, the pictures of turtle pancakes and Nutella stuffed French toast made my mouth water! I had the avocado chicken salad with ranch. And it came with a side! So I chose a wonderfully creamy & hearty chicken rice. My mom had the gyro salad with tzatziki sauce and a Greek vinaigrette. My dad had the beef & noodles, with a side salad and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were the real thing, gravy was thick & flavorful, tender cuts of beef and egg noodles topped the dish. We all decided when we meet halfway again, this will be our spot!!! They also have dinner specials on a white board & breakfast specials at the tables. read more

Today, around 1:30 we walked into the cleanest, friendliest restaurant in downtown Dewitt for a quick lunch. The servers and everyone that worked there were so friendly and attentive it was like stepping back into the old days where everyone cared about their customers. Everyone in my party of 6 commented on how much they enjoyed the atmosphere and especially the service and food. I had the special which was beef and noodles with a side salad and a drink. The food came very quickly and was served hot. I really couldn't believe how clean and well organized the cafe was from the seating area to the restrooms. I noticed also whenever the servers weren't attending to customers, they were wiping down windows and other surfaces to keep things immaculate. I also thought the menu prices were very reasonable for the amount of food they brought. I almost wish I lived closer to Dewitt so I could make this a regular go to place for eating, but will definitely visit again if I am ever in the area. read more

Happy when I go to Sunrise, I just don't go enough. Eggs are always cooked right at breakfast and sandwiches at noon are on point. Lots of locals- people are good about visiting now, pretty much nobody wears a mask now. Not sure if it's Republicans or everyone just accepts the death rate. read more

A very cute and very busy place! We went on a Sunday morning thinking we were early enough to beat the church crowd. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. The baked goods looked phenomenal but we were too full to try! Definitely will stop again! read more

Great made to order egg white omelette, my kids loved the cinnamon swirl French toast- all good. Never disappointed with Sunrise.

Food was good. Service was friendly. It is always very clean in the restaurant when we have been there.

Great food, great staff, and a fantastic breakfast menu. The skillets are amazing. The coffee is your run of the mill excellent brew coffee. read more

Great food and great service! Had the pork sandwich and gyro platter. Their onion rings are awesome. Best place in DeWitt!

They are friendly and feel like family there! Great food and good portions. The staff is more than happy to help you and make sure you have what you need. read more

Good quality food at reasonable prices. Very clean restaurant with friendly service and good attention. I have lived here for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience! They keep updating their menu options and participate in their community which is a positive in my book!! Best gyro omelette in the area! Also love that they will take money off if you don't include hash browns with your breakfast order. I can't stand hash browns Dinner specials are always good and they have really yummy, cheesy, beef enchiladas! read more

Visiting DeWitt on business, we decided to visit a local cafe instead of patronizing the motel continental breakfast. Good decision! At 7:30 on a Tuesday morning, Sunrise Cafe had friendly, well-paced service, darned good coffee, and an older, taciturn male clientele. Our party of three had a Number 1 (two eggs, two pancakes, and sausage links); a Gyro Breakfast; and a 2-egg Breakfast with corned-beef hash substituted for ham, bacon, or sausage. All were delicious and kept us in a good mood for our business meeting. read more

My husband and I stopped by here on our back home to Kansas City, MO. Food was excellent for a small town diner and our server Tammy was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive. Wish we had little diners like this in our town. read more

Sunrise Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - DeWitt, Iowa

We have lived in Dewitt for 18 years and have eaten at Sunrise from time to time. It's a great place to meet the folks of Dewitt and enjoy a good home cooked meal. Today I've had a Super Patty Melt, wife had a Ruben both were excellent. Going to miss you Sunrise when we leave Dewitt. read more

Sweet local diner. The food has never disappointed, and the service is always friendly.

Good diner type food. The "vegetarian" review slamming Sunrise is hilarious. You're not going to get good vegetarian food at a diner in small town Iowa. It just isn't going to happen. What you will get is great breakfast food (their pancakes are awesome), a tasty burger, and the typical fair you expect at a small town diner. Sunrise does a good job serving up tasty food quickly for a good price. If you like small town diners, this is a quality one. read more

This was a spur of the moment decision to stop while traveling. The atmosphere was superb, the staff wonderful and the food exceptional! We will definitely visit again. read more

Went there this morning for breakfast, had the skillet and it was great! Service was friendly and fast and all the staff wore masks, (one server had it under her chin but the others wore it right). Masks aren't required here and there is only one table outside, things you should know if you're concerned about the Corona virus. We chose a table in the corner away from everyone and felt pretty safe. Portions are generous, we saved half for breakfast tomorrow. read more

Small diner style place with an expansive menu. I had a gyro and it was excellent! Onion rings were hot and fresh and well seasoned. Trying to keep to off the main drag places when we travel and this was a second choice but well worth the five stars and glad our original fell through. read more

This is a typical small town restaurant. And I don't say this in a bad way. Nothing on the menu will win national awards. But they serve good comfort food. Without having you empty out your wallet. The biggest negative I have is with the coffee. At times it can be bad. So if you've got a weak stomach be careful. Also being located in downtown DeWitt parking might be an issue. I usually park by Lincoln Park or on the north side of First Central Bank. read more

My husband and I go to this family café about once every two weeks. It has a friendly homestyle environment that we especially like and the service is wonderful! They do a good job of making sure all your needs are met and I think the variety of food choices is fine. I especially like the julieanne salad since its not mainly all lettuce like a lot of places are! Plenty of meat slices and boiled eggs add to the mix. Just a great place to meet your friends! read more

Service like you can't get anywhere anymore. Food - the same... excellent on both counts.

This is one of the two major non-chain places on the main drag in DeWitt. They do a great job with breakfast. I only had lunch here once, and it was fine. Sunrise has a quiet, casual, family environment. You can't beat it if you're looking for a sit-down breakfast in DeWitt. read more

Ate there for lunch had a grill chicken salad & it was huge. Tasted great but it could of had a few more tomatoes in it. The other person that was with me had breakfast & enjoyed it all. read more

The biscuits and gravy omelet was pretty great! Cute little cafe! Will definitely be back!

A wonderful quaint home town feeling over comes you when you enter. The staff treat you like family, friendly and with smiles every time. Been coming here since 20015 on occasion with the family and we enjoy it. I wish I could give more stars read more

Classic American diner food plus a few surprises like stir-fry. Great food, fast service, fair prices.

Great food and wonderful service!!! We had travelled all night from Georgia to visit friends in the area and my grumpy husband was starving and needed a place to fill our bellies. This place did not disappoint! The menu had a great variety and the waitress was very welcoming. We visit Dewitt once a year and we will make this our new breakfast cafe from now on. I am so glad we found Sunrise Cafe, keep up the great job!!! See you next year! read more
