If you didn't know what to do when you got there you look stupid standing waiting for someone to greet you. No signage telling to seat yourself. Our skillet was overcooked almost burnt. Hardly ate it. We had to ask for syrup and the bottle was sticky . Had to wait for our check after they took away our dishes. May or may not try there again. Definitely will order something different. read more

Catered food for our son's 1st Birthday this weekend. The food was phenomenal, and the portion sizes for the price can't be beat. We will definitely be using Sunrise Grill again for future parties. Mostaccioli, Pork Tenderloin and spaetzle, and the Caesar salad were phenomenal. Can't wait to try something new next time. Thank you again!! read more

My family and I absolutely love this spot!! Their daily specials are top notch. And their chicken noodle soup is one of the best out there. You can tell it's homemade. We have not had something we did not like from Sunrise grill. The staff here is so wonderful. Always so nice and accommodating. We love the staff there. We always feel so welcomed. read more

Needed breakfast stat after a red eye into Ohare. This place had everything one could want for classic breakfast or wholesome and healthy twist. Classic diner vibe with perfect booths by the window where you see your car parked. We shared the Abeulita's Sope Skillet with was 10/10. SO DELICIOUS. And for the sweet side, we went waffle, and while a waffle is a waffle is a waffle, the waffle topped with granola pecans and fresh berries stands above the rest. 10/10 devoured We find ourselves now finishing up the delicious coffee they kept us topped up with, with content bellies and revitalized positive attitudes. read more

I went here with my coworkers on a cold winter day and the food was good and there were a lot of options at a good price! The service was quick and the staff were friendly! The ambiance of the restaurant gives me a retro vibes. read more

Family owned and operated this restaurant has amazing dinners and lunches. They post their daily specials on Facebook.

Had a great breakfast experience for Memorial Day. great food and great service and great group of people.

By far the best breakfast we had in Chicago. The service was amazing. I ordered a Mexican skillet and it had hashbrowns on the bottom. The juice is the baby girl juice which was very yummy and healthy. It is a lot of food which we should've shared but it was fantastic. I highly recommend this place for breakfast read more

Sunrise Grill - Amazing food & service! The best breakfast in Chicago. I can't wait to go back to Chicago to try more of their menu. - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Absolutely everything about this place is amazing. Food always hits the spot. Extremely friendly waitresses. Super comfy, cozy, home vibes.

Ate here with extended family before dropping them at airport for a flight. Small, unassuming place off a busy street but food and service were fantastic. Hearty portions with all the breakfast favorites you'd expect and great coffee. It's a blue-collar joint and they make you feel at home. Like having brunch at your grandparents house. A squad of Chicago police officers were having breakfast that morning and were polite and playfully interacting with some kids sitting nearby. It's the type of feel-good communal gathering spot you appreciate from a family-run business. read more

muy buena la comida los chilaquiles un éxitos pero hoy a atención fue pesima fue de mal gusto ir a comer y que la atención fuera como que estuvieran molestos aparte tuve que llamar para que tomaran mi orden señores la comida está buena pero si no dan buen servicios daña el lugar y no solo por la mala atención read more

1st visit great service great food. Second visit our wait person seemed to be avoiding us. I have not gone back. Both visits in same month.

Amazing food and service! Love your restaurant!! Keep up that great service and fantastic food! read more

Sunrise Grill never disappoints. Although the prices have increased a little, which is to be expected, the quality for price is still unbeatable. I've only ever come here for their breakfast, but so far everything I've tried has been so delicious. The service is a little lacking, you need to call your waiters attention for things, but this can be easily overlooked. read more

Sunrise Grill - Biscuit and Gravy - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

If you try this business, make sure it's for lunch or dinner. There's an excellent chef my coworkers rave about. My experiences with breakfast times are not as stellar. The egg dishes are solid, nothing to complain about but give the breads a miss. Not worth the calories read more

Sunrise has all of my favorite elements- don't judge this book by its cover. I believe the chef used to work for the 4 seasons....amazing food with zero pretense. You can find the typical "diner" fare, but it'll taste a step above. The prices are great and the waitstaff make you feel like one of the family. My go-to for breakfast: Ranchero Nest- amazing. Tonight the hubby and I went for street tacos, nachos, and a side of bacon wrapped dates. The guacamole and salsa were freshly made. The chips were homemade too! Pro tip: if you are looking for a burger or sandwich at dinner, ask to also see the lunch menu and they'll happily oblige. read more

An interesting spot for dinner. My partner and I decided to come here before a concert at the Allstate Arena. The atmosphere was a stark difference to the meals they were serving. I was expecting a diner which the decor definitely showed, but the menu did not. The menu had "fancier" options that you might see at a diner but lacked the cheaper options of mozzarella sticks or burgers. The dishes were in the $14-$20 range. The menu was a bit confusing as it seemed like each dish was a different cuisine. It looked like a lot of the patrons were older folk but they were certainly enjoying themselves. The restaurant seemed like it has a BYOB policy which works perfectly with the liquor store next door. I will give a shout-out to the staff who were super friendly and attentive. The waiter put in our app order immediately and the food came out quickly. When I asked for to go silverware for my to-go flan she was super kind about it. Overall the atmosphere was a bit off putting as I felt like I should be eating schnitzel and steak in a more semi fancier restaurant. However, the food itself was decent. We'll probably op for another spot next time we're in the area but this was definitely an experience. It wasn't the place for us but it could be for you! read more

I've eaten at Sunrise a couple of times now. Once for breakfast which was everything that you'd expect for a top-rated diner. The second was for a salad because I didn't feel like driving to Portillo's. Holy cow! The cob salad was off the chart. Crispy and fresh and beautifully arranged. I hear that their catering is phenomenal too. Definitely worth a visit. Chill diner setting with amazing food. read more

Feels very mom and pop. Sit where ever you please. Service was fast. I was a bit upset they didn't have steak and just opted for their pancakes but it was still awesome. read more

Sunrise Grill - Menu - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

It was my first time visiting this place. Sunrise Grill is fantastic! They have a very friendly staff, decent, and professional. Plus, a combination of their very delicious dishes and wide menu. Everything was interesting and mouthwatering. I ordered their Pot Roast Benedict and Chicken Dumpling Soup. I was full and I enjoyed every bite. This is the best dishes I have ever had! Especially their soup. Their serving was generous and fair. I really loved everything here at Sunrise Grill. Can't wait to go back again! Thanks guys for an awesome experience! read more

This place is really close to the airport and it was absolutely delicious. Would definitely come back!!! read more

Sunrise Grill - All this to go!!!! - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Friendly staff who don't push you out the door. Yummy pancakes and I had the nest something? Huge portions. Lots of coffee refills. Great server! This is my new spot when I am in town and my BFF and I need to catch up over lunch. We hogged a booth, laughed too loud, and no one cared (patrons or staff). And no, it wasn't busy so we didn't hold a booth while people were waiting. Love this "mom and pop" spot! read more

Pains me to write this because the place is super cheap in the mornings, $23 for two meals and a pop!??! Insane. Anyways I absolutely hate onions & tomatoes. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, requested no pico de gallo, no tomatoes, no onions. It looked so good and it was good, the one piece I ate, that didn't have much onions, I was able to pick them off. I am not the type to send food back, when this happens at other places, I am able to pick these nasty things out. ANYWAYS I get to the large piece, thinking I can pick them out. NOPE, literally onions on both sides, so many of them. There was no way. I ended up leaving so hungry. She did discount me, which I didn't want a discount, I didn't wanna say anything BUT come on, what if they served their beyond burger to a vegan and accidentally added bacon? Because she responded with an apology BUT then added the cooks sometimes cook drunk and then she said maybe you'll learn to like them. No. Never. I never have. What if this was something I am allergic to? OR again, you want to tell that to a vegan/vegetarian, maybe you'll learn to like the bacon. Anyways my point is, I left hungry!! LOL the rest of the menu looked good though. And once they give you your food, they don't come back to check on you.......... read more

The service is always lovely when I go! And for how much food you can get and the price, oh girl this is the spot! It's all really good!

The menu is large with a wide selection of breakfast options. I love the 4-egg omelettes. They are served nice and hot with generous portions of ingredients. Great fast service with a smile. Price of breakfast for three will be under $50. read more

Love their breakfast platters. Very nice family style diner. Always friendly service.

if you're looking for pancakes that are similar to the texture of mcdonalds pancake but taste so much better/real, this is the place. probably will be a regular here. read more

Great food, friendly service, just the right price. I stopped by here before going to the office. I called ahead to order: scrambled eggs, bacon strips, pancakes, and hashbrowns. Everything was delicious! Good portions at the right price! The lady on the counter was super nice, too. I learned they also serve lunch. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I will go back. They support our first responders! Go support this local mom and pop business! read more

Nice family style diner. It was a bit old school which was exactly what I was looking for. Very close to the airport. Best recommendation is to order the ham with eggs.. the ham was carved off of the bone and was so large that I couldn't finish it!!! I will see you guys again. read more

My wife and I were staying nearby and stopping in here for breakfast. Great and friendly people with great food. Will definitely be back in when in the area read more

Thank you Sunrise for being a go to. Whenever we have a need for early morning breakfast by the airport, Sunrise is always on our short list. We had some friends in from out of town recently and I knew exactly where we were going after we picked them up. The prices are reasonable, the food is good, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is conducive to catching up with folks. As with most of the shops in this particular strip mall, looks can indeed be deceiving. Don't be scared, go on in and try it. read more

Sunrise Grill - Lumberjack - $4.95 - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Thanks to a recommendation from the Marriott down the street, we found this outstanding locally owned cafe with an outstanding breakfast. Almost everything on the menu is under $10 -- but tastes just as good or better than several of those expensive trending breakfast places. The staff and service was outstanding. TIP: This place is walking distance from several of the airport hotels. I recommend walking the 20 minutes (weather permitting) just to work up an appetite or work off the pancakes. read more

Stopped in for dinner when I saw they were still open at 7pm. Totally awesome dinner menu and not pictured, but the crab cake appetizer and they were delicious. Our dinner was fantastic and everything else on the menu looked very appetizing. You can order wine as well. So glad we found a great comfort food place for dinner! read more

I dig it. Ended up here since my favorite taco shop wasn't open yet, but what a pleasant surprise Sunrise Grill was. Located in a rather deserted strip mall and not too far from OHare, this one's a good spot to hit if you feel like pit stopping for some cheap diner style food. It honestly reminds me of a much homier feeling Denny's or IHOP with quite the friendly staff serving away and making sure that coffee cup never sees the bottom. Anyways, I ended up doing the Monte Cristo Crepe ~ 2 'crepes' filled with ham, turkey, american & swiss cheeses and served with a generous portion of potato hash. I say 'crepes' as its more the thickness of a pancake and seemed to be served with some syrup already. Either way... a sweet, savory breakfast that kept me full my entire flight to the West Coast. My love did the club sandwich which was plenty and had an awesome ginormous bowl of mushroom soup on the side. Since she loves mushrooms so much, that soup was the focus of the meal for her and I ended up with half a sandwich to take with me on my flight. All in all a very hearty meal. I'd come thru again if I were in the area looking for something cheap and filling. This one easily hit the under $10 per person mark... with tip. Cheap. Filling. What more could you want? 'Til next time, cheers! 197/365 read more

Sunrise Grill - Club sandwich up top | monte cristo crepe bottom... endless coffee - American Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Good quality tasting breakfast with good portions. Convenient location to me. Was hot for takeout.

My daughter and I started The day with a long drive to attend anime central Animecon. We ate breakfast sandwiches from Starbucks around 9:45 in the morning and I had not eaten since then so we decided to try Sunrise Grill for early dinner at about 4:45 p.m.. The place was not busy. There was only about 11 other people when we arrived, but picked up shortly after. I ordered a skirt steak sandwich, but was served the skirt steak meal which was fine since I didn't need the carbs. My daughter ordered the 1/2 burger medium. Both the burger and the steak skirt were cooked properly. My daughter who is usually picky really liked the steak and the gravy sauce. For dessert I had the free flan from check in and my daughter had the seven layer chocolate cake. The flan had proper consistency and served with whip cream and chocolate sauce. Both tasted great. My daughter commented the chocolate on the cake tasted fresh. Not like some places were it tastes like the refrigerator. Overall quality food with a friendly staff. With the calamari, burger, skirt steak meal and cake it came to about $47 without tip. read more
