    Great place for breakfast!! Our orders came out quick, hot, and fresh. There was a lot to choose here on their menu so we have to come back again. We got the country fried steak, corned beef and waffles. The staff is friendly and fast and there was lots of tables and seating available. Cute local spot. Be sure to check them out!

    Chocolate chip pancake.  The size of a 10" plate. Very fluffy and had a lot of chocolate chips baked in the batter

    This was the second time I have been to Sunrise cafe and I had the same waitress that I had my first time there months ago. The waitress remembered mine and my friends order which I found amazing. The food was delicious and the portions were large. The fruit was very fresh as well. Both times I have come to sunrise cafe I have enjoyed my food as well as the atmosphere.

    Small orange juice and water

    Stop here during a week day. Food was great, my server was very nice but what I didn't like was the fact I was given someone else's bill which I'm glad I looked normally I just throw my card in and hand it back.. then when I got my bill I was charged for the Traditional four instead of the the Traditional three what I ordered. So be careful and check your bill when you get it. Other than that the breakfast was good.

    Meat lovers Omelette, Hash Browns, and White Toast. Apple juice and Water

    Drove by the place after a hike and decided to try it out. Was able to walk in and get seated immediately even though the place was pretty much packed. The waiter was prompt and take our drink order while we looked over the menu. We placed our order and waited while holding conversation with other patrons. The restaurant itself is bright and gives you somewhat of a diner feel. Our got to us between 10-15 minutes after ordering. The food itself was nothing short of great. My omelette was was big in portion and was heavy on the fillings. The hash browns weren't homemade but fried perfectly enough to provide the perfect balance of crisp and softness. The toast was plentiful, prebuttered and toasted just right. The amount of food you get with a breakfast combo is enough to fill up just about anyone, I was happy that I didn't order a side of pancakes like I initially planned because I would've ended up wasted them. Great service and great food, I'll definitely come back in the near future.

    Sometimes when breakfast is soo good do you want to share the spot? Yep we do ;) This was unplanned and found on google maps. Like I said in previous reviews, I take too long on Yelp looking for eateries that the hubs resorts to google maps to pick for us lol. We parked and walked up to the crowd of customers waiting to be seated. Luckily for us there was a small table perfect for our party of two. Our waitress was sweet, fast, and accommodating. I ordered the traditional which came with any style eggs, meat, choice of side, and two side pancakes. It is a mouthful, but I knew the leftovers would go to a good place in my stomach later ;) My eggs were cooked sunny side up with fresh bacon. The home fries were in my opinion the winner. It had the crispy exterior with the right amount of potato meat inside. The pancakes were large. I'm no pancake eater, but I did treat myself to half. It was soft, sweet, and salty after using the butter and syrup lol My better half ordered the breakfast burrito which came with scrambled eggs, sausage, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese wrapped in a tortilla with choice of side. He too ordered the home fries and agreed it was the best. Oh and the orange juice is freshly squeezed so Highly recommend that. I had some of the breakfast burrito and it was oh soo good. We will be back and with places like these I slowly became a breakfast person lol :)

    Steak, eggs, and spiced apples.

    Great little diner that's been here forever. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Got the ribeye steak and eggs. Steak is on the thinner side but they somehow cooked it medium rare like how I like it. It was seasoned really well too, same for the eggs. We left satisfied and definitely will come back again!

    Eggs Benedict (get the home fries over hash browns... promise I'm not steering you wrong)

    The most consistent diner breakfast there is in Virginia Beach. By most consistent I mean, always good. Staff is friendly, food portions are huge, service is fast, and menu variety is pretty big for breakfast and lunch. Eggs Benedict, breakfast burrito, any pancakes, and the combo plates are all favorites!

    Skillet with sausage was delicious and covered an entire dinner plate! Will definitely be going back.

    Skillet with sausage was delicious and could've filled the leg of a Canadian moose! Will definitely be going back.

    Sweet potato pancake, whipping cream optional
    Ellen C.

    On my 1st visit I had scrambled eggs with 2 fluffy sweet potato pancake. For me, it was the right balance of savory and sweet. I went on early on a Sunday morning with my husband. Not too many people whwn qe got there, but by 8am the place started getting crowded. Cute little place good menu. Great alternative to the more popular breakfast places Can't wait for an encore visit

    Breakfast burrito and hash browns
    Shane C.

    Great place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Kinda old home style. The breakfast burritos is great. The hash browns where not crunchy like I prefer. Good service. I highly recommended for breakfast.

    Fantastic biscuit!!
    Jill M.

    Leslie was our waitress - great food and atmosphere - prices very reasonable and the biscuits are amazing! My only criticism is they don't care molasses as a side for biscuits :) Highly, highly recommend coming here!!

    Service was outstanding. If you want a nice home breakfast, this is the place to go in. The setting is small with 2 sides to the restaurant. Large booths for our party of 3. The food was great. This is now a place on the family breakfast spots.

I gave up and went to the bar. No joke. Food was good but holy crap worst service.... Until the end for the burn. When we finally got water we sat with empty glasses... long enough for me to go to the bar and get refilled and still not see her. Even my son went to the bar for a freakn soda. All of a sudden a table of 6 sat next to us for her to attend and we got our plates removed while my husband was still pulling the food off his plate. Dishes weren't fully clean- I'm being told by my husband and son- and apparently a white hair and residual of soy sauce or something so dishwasher step up your game. I dunno man- 6 years ago we came and hated the service and the food was bland. We came today for our anniversary dinner with an attempt for redemption - service continued to suck, bartender was a bad @$$- food was better than last time. Oysters were clean- so maybe next time we will just sit in the bar. My kid said for the gen A - "overall bunions service; good food- vibe chill but What's the deal with all these flies inside !!!??? Bunions. I'm gunna rate this place a 6/7 ‍out of 10 but overall mid- def bunion service

We started with a round of cocktails that proved to be tasty and well-made. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and indulged our really chatty table's need for more time, over and over- whoops. We skipped an appetizer but the options on the menu looked delicious! The wine list was fairly modest but hit all the necessaries and we settled on a few bottles of chianti. Yep, a few bottles. It was one of those nights! As we awaited our entrees, we could see into the kitchen and there was a chef back there making pasta by hand- they are not lying about that! The mood in the restaurant was friendly, a bit low lit for ambiance but still bright enough to see your neighbors. I would call the vibe "neighborhood bistro" and it had this REALLY warming effect on a chilly, rainy evening. Tables were all full but no one was seated right on top of each other, there was plenty of room to stretch and converse privately. Because I am a masochist and am avoiding gods favorite food (pasta) I ordered the steak. It was served along side roasted potatoes and a rocket salad. The steak arrived at perfect temperature and was seasoned magnificently. I'll admit I am a salt girl- I did not not have add a speck of salt or pepper, it already tasted amazing. I certainly did not feel like I'd missed out by not getting the pasta, even if it did look incredible. My husband got a pasta dish with sausages, and he kept raving about how much sausage was in it and how delicious the sauce was. Our friends got a copy of my husbands dish and the salmon with lemon sauce pasta except my friend requested chicken be substituted and the chef indulged her request! They were equally enamored with how well their dishes turned out. All in all, this was an unexpected delicious find and we WILL be back again!

If you are in Virginia Beach and want a reliable place for a good meal and a drink, Hot Tuna still delivers.
