It took us 4 years of driving up & down interstate 85 from Richmond (Ashland) P.M. to Matthews, NC ( Charlotte) to finally find Amanda & SUNRISE DINER!! A nice quality breakfast place that does it right!! A FANTASTIC Breakfast & Lunch Diner Place I knew was out there- we just had to get lucky . Amanda was awesome with service and personality you can't get just anywhere. My wife had the (no mix) melt in your mouth fluffy pancakes with sausage links & I had the Meat lovers Omlet and both were terrific. We come by Thomasville twice a month and can't wait to stop at the SUNRISE again as we drive to Charlotte. read more

You will feel right at home great staff and food is amazing home cooking at its very finest

We were craving breakfast food this morning and thought we would give this place a try. I have a mixed review about it, and while I didn't hate it, I'm not sure that I would go out of my way to have it again. When we walked in we were handed menus and told to sit wherever we wanted. I've never had that happen before but I wasn't mad about it. The restaurant was pretty clean and there are a LOT of tables. They even have a private room if you have a really large party. We were greeted pretty quickly and drinks and food came out lightening fast. The one thing I can say that was 100% positive is that their service is FAST! I ordered 2 Eggs over medium with Country Ham, Home Fries, and a biscuit. I also ordered a waffle because I wanted to try them! The waffle was AWESOME! Light and fluffy, and perfectly cooked. My daughter agreed. My eggs were perfect and very good and the country ham was AMAZING. The home fries... this is where they lost me. The home fries are HUGE, and that means they are a lot like the end piece fries at Chick Fil A that everyone throws away. I like small home fries, and they just didn't even come close to doing it for me. The biscuits, this is pure speculation but they tasted and looked like canned biscuits. I'm not accusing them of not making biscuits, I'm just saying I would never go there for biscuits! My mom had coffee and said it was mediocre coffee at best, and wanted to make sure that was in the review! last, I think the prices were high for what we got. Prices are high everywhere but breakfast out shouldn't cost $40 for 2 people! read more

Beware before ordering manager has not updated prices online. I got charged double than what the original price says online.

This is definitley one of my favorites in Thomasville! The Baked Spagetti has been one of my absolute favorites for most of my life! The pasta is always cooked great and most importantly they don't hold back on the amount of cheese on top! The sauce is always just the right amount too. I have been wowing people with my ability to finish the entire plate (which is quite large) by myself in one sitting. My family also loves their seafood dishes as well! Their food bar has great Baked Chicken, Rice and Fried Okra. read more

Good variety on the menu. Cordial staff. Good southern food. I like the buffet. Reasonable prices.

I have to say this is a great spot if you like country cooking. Food was great. The issue came when the waitress never came to offer refills. We ended up asking another lady. I always give leanancy to waitresses because that's a hard job. However, 10 minutes is a bit too long to wait for a refill. Girls at register on their phones while everyone else is running around. Then when you pay they ask if you want to tip and how much. That should be my own choice and not broadcasted to people around you. Maybe it was an off night. read more

Came upon this diner and stopped for breakfast food around closing time in a Saturday afternoon. It was very clean, quite busy, and the food was good. My only complaint was the toast wasn't buttered and the sausage had a different taste (maybe a different spice ?) Eggs were cooked well , hash browns were real potatoes ( u can taste the difference) the coffee was good , pancakes were great! read more

Filled with locals on a weekday including what might have been a Bible study, I had an excellent breakfast here. Free wifi and I even managed to get some work done. A really super omelet - green peppers, mushrooms and cheddar cheese - with real potatoes on the side and whole wheat toast where she remembered not to add butter to it. Perfect. Lots of coffee and now I'm AWAKE and ready to finish my drive to RDU. Well done, Sunrise! read more

After a challenging morning at the doctor's office, Mom and I decided to have breakfast at Sunrise Grill in Thomasville. What a great idea as it turned into a great experience! The service was great with a friendly and helpful waitress and the food was great! The bacon in particular was the best ever! I mentioned this to the waitress and, unbeknown to me, she spoke to John, one of the owners. John comes out, talks to us, and surprises me with additional free bacon! LOL! The bacon is really, really good and cooked to perfection. In our world today, this seems like such a small thing, but it's really nice to go somewhere (anywhere) where the service is good, the food is good, the prices are reasonable and has a down home friendly feel. I've been going to Sunrise for a long time but not very often. Even though I live a city over, I will make a point to go back whenever possible. Thanks Sunrise! read more

The Diner was packed this morning. Upon entering, we stood beside a table that needed to be cleaned. A waitress rudely told us to go to another table that also was not cleaned. The 1st table we went to eventually got cleaned and before we could move to it a family came in and sat down. Their drink order was taken and our table still had not been cleaned. Very unsanitary conditions! After about 30 minutes our table was cleaned still no menu. Another 5 minutes we get menus another 10 minutes our drink order was taken(1coffee/1oj). Another 10 minutes our food still not ordered. We decided to leave. The wait staff I realize is short-handed but that does not give them reason to be rude and very unprofessional. Doubtful we ever try eating there again. read more

One of the best sit-down restaurants in Thomasville. They've been in the same location in Thomasville for as long as I can remember. The prices are fair, they have daily specials and the staff is always friendly. The seafood is exceptional! It's one of my favorite things to order. Be sure to stop in when you're driving through Thomasville, you'll be glad you did. read more

Wow! Now THAT'S what I call a good ol' fashioned home cooked southern dinner! I'm a picky eater, and everything was my kind of perfect. Not fancy, just simple yummy! All the food you see was for 2 people and only $16 before tax and tip. Next time we can get one meal and still have left overs. HUGE portions! My husband had fish, shrimp, fries and a salad. He said the breading was delicious. I had chicken tenders, shrimp,baked potato & a salad. read more

Very affordable good food, the entire restaurant tends too seniors with senior specials and the southern hospitality environment. As well as very good food cooked and ordered fast, as well as all the host being very kind and friendly, never rude! They can be very busy at times but you shouldn't be waiting more than 5 minutes for a table w how amazing their service is! One of the best restaurants in Thomasville by far! read more

Meat lover's omelette was very good, wish they asked what type of cheese I preferred. Terry's service - it was raining and a waitress went outside to close a customer's car windows! I'll certainly come back again! read more

We have only been here for breakfast, but the breakfast prices are reasonable and tasty. My favorite is the Southwest Omelet, which comes with salsa, and a choice of breakfast potatoes and choice of biscuits or toast. In addition, we have tried the tenderloin biscuit is large and very tasty. Pancakes and waffles are good, as well as the egg dishes. Every time we go there, the place is filled with happy locals. They also have a drive thru window which seems busy. read more

We saw this restaurant on Yelp and after sitting on the interstate for an hour we were so happy that it was close to the exit. My husband had the 1/3 pound burger and I had the baked spaghetti. Tasty! The prices are very reasonable. read more

Been there several times, it's either hit or miss. Food service great one day, next, totally different! Last trip was nice til my Baby Girl found a 10" gray hair in her salad, kinda makes you lose your appetite after seeing that! Chipped plates, poor service and a management could care less attitude makes this place just so so. Sad cause it has the location and potential to be a five star diner! read more

Left sir pizza and came here, such a stark contrast in experience it isn't even funny. Sunrise is fast-we were in and out in less than 30 minutes which is quite a feat with two small children. Sunrise is inexpensive-you can add a salad or soup and a side to your sandwich and come out for around $8 or so. Best of all though, Sunrise is delicious. Been here a couple times and food is great! Highly recommend the hot chips and wonderful homemade ranch. Two deluxe meals, kids meal, and drinks was $26, you cannot beat the cost or the quality in the area. read more

If there was lower than one star, I would give that rating instead. Of the three employees working at or near the drive through, zero were masked and only one had one at all down under her chin. We will not patronize any business that can't do better than that. They can eat the waste themselves. read more

I stop in occasionally for breakfast. The staff is friendly and quick. Breakfast is southern as it gets. When you see waitress's call customers by their name that means they come back a lot.Can't blame them I've had some pretty good ones there myself.The tenderloin special is on the top of my list.It comes with two pieces of meat two eggs grits or hash browns, toast or biscuits. If that's not a meal I don't know what is.....They make a mean omelette, pancakes, and waffles. I've had a BLT once or twice, no complaint's here. Lunch is a buffet that they serve you, or order off the menu.Any way you chose this place turn out some good comfort food. read more

I rarely complain about things unless they are blatantly wrong so here we go. I asked my server if I could get flounder and shrimp on the $13.95 seafood combo special for that day (pointing at the items in the special square on the menu). My server replied yes! I said ok I'll take that. My wife ordered and grilled chicken salad but didn't want tomatoes, croutons or crackers (she has to eat gluten free). The food came in a timely manner and was ok. The salad had no cheese and the server said that would $1.00 extra (even though we took off the other stuff) but that's not the real problem here. My ticket comes and my $13.95 special is $15.50. so I asked why it's $15.50 INSTEAD OF $13.95. The first answer from a server that was not ours was that they have had price increases. Well, the menu hadn't had price increases. So the manager I assume came by ask asked how everything was and I told him this story. He said the special was for baby flounder and shrimp and I got regular flounder. That's BS. I pointed right at the flounder and shrimp in the specials box on the menu when ordering and said "Can I get flounder and shrimp on this combo special?" So he said next time I needed to specify baby flounder and shrimp and I politely informed him that there wouldn't be a next time. DON'T GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE OVER CHARGED! For $1.55 they lost a customer forever and I will continue to tell everyone that I know of this blatant issue that could have easily been rectified and I would still be come there to eat. I don't take being screwed lightly. It's not about the $1.55 it's the principle. read more

Passing through and wanted something better than a hotel breakfast. Glad we did. Great service! Our coffee cups never got more than a third empty. When I counted the empty creamer containers I figure I had 3 good cups of coffee with breakfast. Didn't need to drive, could have sprinted beside the car the first 50 miles! Waffle was hot and crispy, country ham a treat. Very nice breakfast. read more

Sunrise Diner - Diners Near Me - Thomasville, North Carolina

The food was good but the hosts had terrible customee service and were cussing infront of the customers.

I've been eating here for 25 years and can't remember anything to complain about. Quantities are good prices are reasonable.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The fried popcorn shrimp were the best ever! The hush puppies, coleslaw, french fries and tarter sauce were all outstanding. Such a nice touch bringing squeeze bottles of tarter and cocktail sauce, so you never run out. Compliments to the entire staff here. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, and an outstanding bargain as well. read more

We are new to the area and wanted to sit down to a good dinner. We were pleasantly surprised at the extensive menu, it seems like if you want it they have it. The waitress was very nice, the food was excellent and the portion sizes can't be beat. The senior menu is great and even those portions are large. Great home cooking and the prices are very good as well. We have been back several times and every visit since our first visit did not change, it was excellent every time. I never heard of a diner with a drive thru window, but it's there! I highly recommend it to everyone! read more

First time visit and was underwhelmed. The food smelled great but once you took a look around there was food and trash on the floor, booth was dusty & dirty & still wet. Received a juice and found after chugging it (therefore was not backwash) large white specs of material in the cup. Waitress got my girlfriends drink and walk away as I was giving her my drink order (doesn't know how to do her job) overall looks good but looks can be deceiving, so we went to Waffle House got our food in less time then we waited at sunrise actually got STRAWS!!! and our waiter treated us excellent and actually made me laugh!!! SUNRISE SUX WAFFLE HOUSE IS BETTER BIG FACTS!!!! read more

Great Breakfast!!! Always fresh and love the real potato hash browns Very reasonable prices read more

If you are coming in on the highway, this could be an option beyond just the normal fast food. But this isn't a place I could really recommend. I ate lunch with about eight people so I saw a variety of dishes - an omelet with shredded hash browns, a chef salad, burgers, etc. I got their chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, cheddar and bacon. It was actually pretty decent! The fries were hot and relatively crisp but just your usually frozen variety. I thought you got a lot of food for the money! But the food is all very cheap quality and the place inside is drab, out dated and, the biggest no-no for me, it was dirty!! Honestly, I probably could have gone three stars except for the lack of cleanliness. The worst part was the bathroom which was absolutely disgusting and very smelly. I'll leave it at that. Not much to recommend here unless you are looking for a sit down place with cheap southern cooking, and are okay with some wear and tear as well as a possible cleanliness issue. read more

A good, solid small town diner. Clean. Bright. Fresh vinyl upholstery. Friendly waitresses. Fast service. Decently sized portions. Chicken Marsala was tender and flavorful. Sweet potatoes were decadently sweet. Hubby loved the fried fish sandwich with slaw. With onion rings we got out for less than $20. A nice stopping point for dinner. read more

Stopped in to avoid the usual roadside fare. This place is locally owned and tun, which fit the bill. They need to try a little harder, though. Hunts ketchup on the tables was the first warning sign. House salad = shredded iceberg with a diced tomato. Son's cheeseburger was a hockey puck. Competing with the chains does not have to be a race to the bottom. That being said, service was very nice and helpful. Only comment is ... wait until the customers are gone to start sweeping up around them. Really! read more

Food was ok, service was not. We went here for a late lunch, and you would think the place was mobbed, from the lack of clean tables and hectic attitude of the waitress. If this is what it's like when a quarter full don't go when it's busy. Out of biscuits, grits, and gravy. How can a diner run out of gravy? read more

A nice little restaurant in Thomasville. It's loud and unorganized. Slow service and unresponsive wait staff. The food was low quality and not what I would expect from a local restaurant. I don't like that I have to give a one star review. I'll return one day and if the experience is better I'll update. The only reason I will return is I don't like leaving a one star review. read more
