    the roast chicken only in Tuesday omg yummy
    Jonathon A.

    What a great hole in the wall place, discovered completely by accident and have been going there for a few years now. The owners are nice and pleasant. My favorite spot to get some casado con pollo or pinto steak. The food always taste fresh and delicious and the owners knows our order when we sit down. Nice and quaint little family run place. You must go on Tuesday to try the roasted chicken omg it's soooo delicious! yummy! All in all it's a win win for me and my bestie! We love relaxing there and enjoying a good conversation over lunch!

    South Warren Street in Trenton is making an effort to get its act together. It has always had the big trees and 19th Century architecture, but until the last few years, the storefronts were often empty or lacking in attractiveness. Things have changed for the better, and it is now possible to walk down Warren and find several nice places to have a meal, drink, or even shop. Sunrise Luncheonette is one of those urban pioneers. It is a small shop with 7 or eight stools at the lunch counter, and about the same number of tables. Décor is rather Spartan, but the management makes a real effort to make you feel welcome when walking in for breakfast before 8, while the surrounding state government drivers are yet to open. I sat at the counter and watched as well known customers chatted with the counterman in friendly tones, swapping stories and jokes. Coffee was served promptly, and was about average. My Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich on a Roll was also decent and tasty. The convenience of location cannot be beat. I enjoyed being able to park on the street without using a meter until 9 am, having a pleasant breakfast only 5 minutes from court, and getting out for under $6. Trenton is actually showing some gritty charm early in the morning, and I enjoyed being part of the wake up. Sunrise's breakfasts should not be compared to suburban style diners where excess is the name of the game. No. This is a cityscape locale, where the clientele tells a different story than heard out there. Life is rougher downtown, and Sunrise Luncheonette reflects that reality. If you get off on the difference, this can be a nice way to start the day.

The staff really sets this place apart, though. Everyone has been friendly, welcoming, and happy to make recommendations, which we've never regretted following. We're in New Jersey, surrounded by diners on every corner, and we're more than willing to pass them all up for this place. It's become a go-to spot for breakfast and lunch, and we're always excited to come back. Highly recommend.

A friend recently moved to Morrisville and I found myself in the area at lunchtime after a visit. I wanted to try a few things but it looked as though the steak was a big one, so I just had that. The fries that came with it were very good too. As was foretold, the steak was one of the best I've had in years. Let me start with the roll, long seeded torp that had a light toasting. ALL steaks should be so lucky as to have this as a delivery vehicle, most sandwiches too. The beef was tender and nicely seasoned and cheese and onions were evenly distributed throughout. The portion size/cost was very fair, this was 2 meals for me. My only critique would be on the Cooper American cheese used. I would prefer a sharper cheese, Cooper sharp or even provolone. I'll inquire if there are other options. Even if there weren't, I'd still get this anytime. I saw several other lunch items of interest to me, and in the right frame of mind and early enough several breakfast options too. Service was friendly and fast. I'll likely be back next for the shrimp tacos, or just another steak. I'm at a 4.5 with just the one visit, stay tuned....

So when I used to work in L'ville and could get Route 1 Diner delivered through Uber Eats it was a treat indeed. I often ordered the turkey Reuben, omelettes, BLTs, fish sandos, and quesadillas. All good but the actual standout here is the STEAK FRIES! They are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. They're the best steak fries by far and possibly a top 3 restaurant fry of all time for me. Even by delivery they arrive crisp. I've since left that job near the diner but when I find myself in the area I can't help but stop in to get the fries. I was actually hesitant to do so at first - kinda like lifting the curtain back on Oz. But there's no trickery here - the waitstaff is friendly in person, the food is hot and fresh, and incredibly priced. This diner is such a gem and I am admittedly jealous of people who live nearby. Def stop in - well worth the trip. Enjoy my pics!

I just ordered a short stack and side of bacon and somehow they took over 30 minutes despite things being quiet. (It was at around 10pm.) I wasn't in a hurry but I did have a big drive ahead of me and had hoped to move on sooner. Would eat here again but definitely not on any kind of timetable.

It only occurred to me recently that I'd never said a proper thank-you. That's shameful. That's like borrowing your neighbor's snowblower all winter and forgetting to nod at them come spring. So here it is: thank you, Broad Street Diner. This is the review I should've written long ago. Four stars. Not five. Let's not go nuts. Perfection is the business of angels, and diners are run by people: gruff, charming, overworked, underpaid people who know the power of a hot turkey sandwich in a cold world. And God bless them for it. The daily specials are the real poem here. You know how people used to say, "You can't beat the value"? They stopped saying it because there's no value left in anything. But then Broad Street Diner waltzes in, swinging a Cajun meatloaf platter like a peace treaty, and suddenly I'm eating like it's 1993 again. The economy may be a flaming zeppelin plummeting into the sea, but somehow these folks figured out how to serve a full dinner: entree, soup, salad, dessert, the whole shebang, for less than the cost of a movie ticket and a bottle of water. I've had their fried clams, their fish and chips, their crab cakes, and each time I think, "Yes. This is civilization." Is it fancy? Hell no. But it's honest. It's generous. It's warm in all the places the news is cold. Do yourself a favor: stop pretending you're above diners. You're not. None of us are. We're all just scrambled eggs in the cosmic skillet. Broad Street Diner gets that.

First off when I went to pick up they did not give me my whole order. It was only the Classic Kitchen Combo. I ended up waiting there for about an hour for the Reuben Sandwiches.
