We've been here a couple times and it's honestly a great breakfast spot. The service is welcoming, the food is fresh... it's a great substitute for a home cooked breakfast. The prices you can't beat either. It's busy on the weekends but if you can slide in during the week that's prob your best bet. read more

One of the best homestyle breakfast spots, super friendly staff, good food and relaxed atmosphere. read more

Sunrise Grill - Simple things - American Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Our family loves the Sunrise Grill. The food and service are always consistently delicious. Today I tried the Sunrise omelette, sausage, bacon, ham, onion, cheese, and tomato. It was good, but I prefer their veggie omelette add sausage. Pumpkin waffles are seasonal and a must try. My 5 year old really enjoyed the pancake and entertaining the other diners around us. I love our little country community and this diner. read more

Great little breakfast diner, well priced and always popular. The waitress are quick and efficient Definitely recommend read more

The hash browns were swimming in grease and the omelet was a little cold. I could barely finish my breakfast. Then when I went to pay, the cashier was super rude, didn't even speak to me, but was yelling at another employee. read more

Great breakfast place. Service is fantastic and order is always right too! Atmosphere and prices are is reasonable. read more

Good ole southern home-cooking! Love the staff, coffee, and omelets! If you're looking for a quaint breakfast where everyone knows each other - this is your place! read more

Friendly staff, great for family breakfasts, loud screaming kids included. Menus are at the table albeit hidden behind the napkin dispenser. I suggest using hand sanitizer after handling. They only serve breakfast... close at 11:00 am. You'd think they have it down a little better. 2 eggs over medium with a sausage patty, hash browns and a biscuit... the eggs were closer to very easy.. loose almost too loose. The sausage patty was more like eating flavored leather and the biscuit is served with "liquid" margarine in a squirt bottle... yum. read more

Great food and great service. Friendly environment with customers and service. Great place to enjoy breakfast

If more stars were available to give, I would certainly give them. The breakfast food choices are many, the flavor is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. We rarely have to wait, but if we do, it's generally not long. They move the people in and out in a timely manner but don't ever lose that southern hospitality. Sunrise Grill is a local favorite, hence the line sometimes, but they have the best breakfast around! read more

Sunrise Grill - a sign for a restaurant - American Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Just not very good food. Or a nice, clean environment. Very friendly and hospitable though and fast service. Just not my cup of tea.

Gross, greasy food. This is a greasy spoon kind of place, but even with that considered it was bad. Stay away, I don't know where else you would go around here....but keep driving! It gets 2 stars because the server was nice and my fiance loved the melted butter on the table. read more

Sunrise Grill - That's syrup and butter....it's that kind of place - American Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

If your ever going down highway 24/27 east and want a really good breakfast, then when you get to Locust, N.C. you must stop at the Sunrise Grill. This a local joint where everyone knows each other and the servers know the regulars by name. On our last stop wife got the pumpkin waffle and grits and I got a 1/2 country ham plate. Don't let the 1/2 scare you thinking you won't get enough food because you will leaved stuffed. A good sized portion of country ham with 1 or 2 eggs and your choice of grits, hash browns, home fries or rice and gravy. I love country ham and here it's tender and not to salty as some can be. Service is always good and our coffee cups always stayed full. All servers are friendly and circulate from table to table, and we were checked on often. My wife and I really don't understand the bad reviews. We have never had a problem with bad food, poor service or poor cleanliness as reported by some reviews. The only unfriendly person we have ever encountered here was the young thang working the cash register on our last visit. They are crowded for a reason and some times you have to wait on a parking space and its not because of bad food, poor service or poor cleanliness. Take out window generally has a line as well. Come early as they are only open till 11 am. They do take debit and credit cards. For $16 including drinks, tax and tip we left stuffed and happy. If we lived in the area,they would know us by name as well because we would become regulars here. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places. My face lights up with joy when my husband comes home with a plate from here, lol. The staff is very friendly, food is always good, hot and fresh. I had the opportunity to eat in for the first time last weekend and it took a while to get the food compared to ordering it to go but it was worth the wait. I usually get the grits, eggs, and hash browns with toast. Yummy! This past weekend I tried their omelets for the first time as well as their waffles. Absolutely delicious! You cannot go wrong here! read more

Straight forward country breakfast. You will want to call ahead for pickup. Those accustom to small town southern breakfast sandwiches that would come from a grill in the back of a convenient store will be right at home and happy. read more

Sunrise Grill - Ham, Egg, and Cheese on Toast - American Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Hit this place for breakfast with a friend - eggs/grits/bacon/toast - just the basic stuff, but that's what I like. I'm very picky about my scrambled eggs not being over done - and Sunrise scored well with me by serving them just how I ordered them (thank you). Decor is no frills, parking is easy, price was right. I'll go back - you should too. read more

Absolutely nothing special about this place or food. Dining tables & chairs are mismatched, old and torn up. Definitely a local dive because I can't understand why anyone would go here! read more

Food is normally good. The management is non existing. Waited 15 minutes to be seated before leaving. Would not have minded the wait but there was plenty of empty tables and no one was being seated. The wait staff is friendly, but they are not managers (no one is) so they just wait for someone to finally direct you to a table. Will not wait in line again with plenty of tables available for breakfast. read more

Good friendly service, long line that moved fast and completely loved my grits and waffles!! Nice clean restaurant and varied menu

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast here this weekend. Usually there is a long line but today our timing was good and we beat the crowd. I had the veggie omlet with a half pecan waffle. The omelet was so fresh and delicious. I will have it again, next time a 2 egg omlet instead of the one egg omlet. The pecan waffle was amazing! Each time I have visited here I have left satisfied and excited about returning. Wide variety of items on the menu. GREAT place to eat breakfast! read more

Love this place. My dad and I went here every Saturday morning for almost two years. The food is amazing, the servers are so welcoming and it is all around a great experience. Wish I had the time to go and eat now. read more

great place to work at. i work there my name is daniel stewart. good food here. open monday to saturday 5:00am to 11:00am

I do not know what other people are used to but this place did not deserve the two star rating given before, me and my wife eat there a couple of times a week, it is a southern way of cooking, The grease is part of the Flavor. I have eaten at a lot of breakfast places and this place is one of the best. Others tend to agree since they always have a full parking lot. read more

Great food if you could get seated in a timely manner. Never enough wait staff and half of them would rather be talking than working. Usually empty tables but nobody to clean them and the line is out the door. read more

Well, the food looked good and it wasn't real busy. Unfortunately we sat for 15 minutes while the waitress waited on people who came in after us. When we gave up and left she wished us a nice day, not real observant.... read more
