Stopped in our our way through. Spacious, one level, diner style restaurant with plenty of tables and booths. Location is accessible but there are 2 doors to go through to get in if you enter from the street. You can also park in the back and enter. Bathrooms are gender-specific, but one at a time. The ladies room was tiny. I don't think a wheelchair would fit comfortably in there. I loved that the booths have artwork separating them - clever and beautiful idea! It was a Monday morning, not very busy. Hubby grabbed a booth while I used the ladies room. We still did not have drinks by the time I got to the table, and it was a few more minutes before coffee and tea arrived. Our server Angel (according to the receipt) just moved slow. She is also not particular about germs. She served my coffee with the bowl of creamers on top. That bowl of creamers travels from table to table and you put it where I have to put my mouth to drink? It's just not sanitary! Napkins are on the table with the wine & beer list so I was able to wipe off my cup and hope the heat would kill any germs. Another nice thing is that they use different mugs for tea and coffee! When places use one mug for either tea or coffee, the tea usually tastes a little like coffee. Business did pick up and we did not see Angel again until our food came up. We saw our food come up and sit under the lights for about 5 minutes. Then I watched as she grabbed some jelly packets and put them on top of our food. More germs from her hands and the jelly, great, thank you so much! The other servers appeared to have some hustle, but not our girl. Slow and steady. I had to ask for more coffee. She strolled by and asked about our food but didn't really expect an answer as she didn't even stop. Our food was good. Hubby had 3 eggs over easy, sausage and toast - great. I had the Greek omelette, no tomato, and it had lots of spinach, also great. We finished and she never came by with more coffee or the check so I went over to the cashier to wait for her. Would we stop here again? Probably, but not any time soon. read more

Stopped here for lunch during a road trip and it was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone was incredibly kind, the food was SO cheap (compared to DC at least), and the service was exceptional. 10/10 experience all around! read more

Your local family dinner. The food is consistent. The service is friendly. It's obviously no high end restaurant. But it's cozy and comfortable. And you get a good meal for a reasonable price. We come here about once a week, so that should tell you all you need to know read more

Good food and great service. Typical diner, clean - nothing fancy. Haven't tried the desserts but they look amazing. Meal is accurate, warm and yummy every time I go. read more

Very tasty breakfast, big portions, good coffee. Just what I was looking for. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I had breakfast here on Sunday. The restaurant was half full, so we were seated quickly. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and home fries. My wife has the corned beef hash. The eggs Benedict were good, but not the best I ever had. Lots of hollandaise sauce which is good, but the eggs were not poached or basted. The home fries were terrible. Had a very odd taste. Not sure what spice they used, but was weird. My wife really liked the hash. The restaurant was clean and the server was very friendly. read more

Initial service was prompt, food came out quickly. Just a word to the wise..the Greek salad has Kalamata olives in it and they WEREN'T pitted. Bit into one and found out quickly! When I let the server know, she was surprised. No sooner had the words left my mouth, the staff turned cold on me. Who doesn't know that olives have pits?! Especially kitchen staff. Overall, food was good and the French fries were excellent. Might return based on that alone, but based on the friendliness of the servers might just order takeout instead. read more

We came here on a Wednesday in the early afternoon and they were pretty busy; the place was filled with seniors. Our party ordered burgers, a Philly steak sandwich, a greek chicken pita wrap, and a turkey bacon sandwich. We sat down and were served our food in about 10-15 minutes. Our waiter was also really nice and attentive the whole time we were there. Everyone enjoyed our food here and the prices were reasonable. The only minor thing is are the little details; my partner ordered medium but the burger was more well done; I had a sourdough sandwich with turkey and bacon, but the bread and turkey were a bit dry. But everyone enjoyed their meals overall and we would recommend his restaurant to others passing by! read more

I just ate there and received terrible service. My food was lukewarm. I ordered eggs Benedict. I received my food and she dropped it right off. I was gonna ask her for a glass of water, but she was in a hurry to leave the table and I had to basically be loud to ask her for a glass of water, cause she was very much in a hurry. I completely understand it's busy but to check on me for just a second would've been nice to see if I needed anything. I waited very patiently use manners and let her know that I appreciated her and nothing in return she's not polite. I told the man at the register pointed out the waitress because I didn't even know her name and I hope she does get talk to you because that's disgusting and the service is terrible and I won't be coming here again. Shame on this establishment. read more

Great food, prices are good and awesome service. The breakfast was delicious and there was a great portion of delicious home fries! I would highly recommend this restaurant. I can not wait until the next time I go to Dansville NY! Thank you! read more

On our way to Letchworth and needed a bit to eat. Very cute ambience with nice paintings on all the booths, recessed ceilings, and cute light fixtures. Very friendly staff, service wasn't speedy but wasn't slow either. I had an omelette, the wife had eggs, bacon, and toast food was nicely prepared and tasty (sorry for the half eaten pics but we were hungry). Good coffee, crisp bacon. Very pleased. read more

Found this place on our way to the eclipse, and liked it so much that we stopped again on the way back home. Service and atmosphere two steps above comfortable, food priced reasonably and prepared within reasonable expectations. All in all, an enjoyable stop in a quaint town nestled in the beautiful Genesee Valley. read more

I was on a mission in Dansville, camera in hand, when I realized I had left early in the morning without eating breakfast. My coffee and honey cruller from Timmy's was fine a little after 6, but by 10, I had that empty feeling. I had been seeing lots of locals going in here so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered one blueberry pancake and my waitress lit up and smiled broadly as she said, "Those are the best!" She brought it out a little while later, I had time to check my email and make sure the world back home hadn't come to an end. I enjoyed my coffee in a mug covered with advertising squares that resembled a miniature, minor league, outfield wall. My pancake was thick and large enough to almost cover the plate. The blueberries, and there were plenty of them, had settled into the surface like salt crystals sinking into a cake of ice. I buttered it up and added syrup. (Syrup here is served in a bottle and not those annoying, portion-controlled, pre-packed squares that are never enough to last an entire breakfast.) I was concerned that a pancake that thick might look good on the outside but be soft and doughy on the inside. It wasn't! It was soft and chewy, just the way I like 'em. The wait staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and set for 2020 social distancing. If you live in the Dansville area, you've got a nice place for family dining. read more

Very good breakfast place. Stopped here with my bride to meet up with my brother close to where he lives. There's nothing like getting breakfast made exactly the way one wants and likes it. The food was good, the coffee was hot, and the service was friendly. Looking forward to my next visit to NY so I can stop again. read more

Excellent food been here a few times. Wanted to do breakfast here but there hours are wrong. They say 5am but not open.

Great place to go for breakfast. Pancakes were great as were the eggs and sausages. Will

This is an excellent diner. Great service, prompt coffee refills even in the afternoon, and a wide selection on the menu. Wraps and sandwiches are delicious, and sides like mac salad are made from scratch. Best quick bite in Dansville! read more

So this was the 2nd time visiting the Sunrise. The 1st was on mother's day and I was served cold hash browns which aren't even homemade, but the frozen patties and my mother was served spoiled ham. So we decided to give it another try not being a special occasion. This time was not better but worse. We waited 45 mins for our food only for the homefries this time cold and eggs overcooked and omelets dry. When we were finally able to get our waitress attention she brought out steaming hot homefries yay less than a minute of us complaining. Then to make matters worse I found a short black curly hair on my plate. Once again we tried to get our waitress attention and she completely ignored us. I grabbed another waitress who was kind enough to take my plate to show to the owner. They did take it off the bill but to make matters worse when we finally got our bill and I went to pay the owner who was running the register didn't even apologize or acknowledge the poor service and food, just took my card and expected me to sign the receipt and leave. Needless to say we will never be back and will travel elsewhere for a decent breakfast where customers feel appreciated. So they have now lost not only 2 locals who live in the area but 4 other potential customers who visit the area often. read more

We stumbled upon Sunrise Family Restaurant after a night slumbering in Stony Brook State Park. And let me tell you, after a night in the woods, replenishing the tummy with breakfast at this place was INCREDIBLE! To be specific, the pancakes (according to our waitress, made with sweet cream!) were fluffy and ACTUALLY tasted like cake. Usually when we eat pancakes, they're more like griddled medals of butter. But no, these are golden circles of would-be Marie Antoinette-approved pan-"let them eat cakes." Para mis compañeros hispanohablantes, por favor permítame decirte que este restaurante es su selección mejor para desayunar. read more

Sunrise Restaurant - Blueberry pancakes (made with sweet cream!) and eggs over easy. Beautifully done. - Diners Near Me - Dansville, New York

Not a bad. Not spectacular. I would assume breakfast is their big draw as it was pretty quiet at lunch time. I had clam chowder and a fish sandwich. I put hot sauce on everything and they have Red Hot so I can't really complain. This menu reminds me of like an average golf course clubhouse menu. Basic soups and sandwiches. It's a safe lunch spot but I would go for breakfast next time. read more

Sunrise Restaurant - Fish samich - Diners Near Me - Dansville, New York

Very surprised how much I liked this place!! It's in a little town in upstate NY. It's very quaint and super family little restaurant. They have the old computer systems, the singular TV, and that good old country folk food. I opted for the Greek salad with grilled chicken. The salad was actually really big! I love how they default put the dressing on the side for all their salads. The grilled chicken was actually better than some grilled chicken I've ordered in much nicer looking venues. The chicken wasn't greasy and it just tasted really good! The salad was big and hearty, however it was mostly just lettuce, so that was a letdown. There were very few olives and not much cheese. It should have just been named a fresh greens salad. I also liked how it came with some fresh pita bread as well. And the pita bread wasn't hard! It was nice and soft! The other members in my party ordered a veggie omelet and hash. The hash was alright. Again, I really liked how it wasn't greasy! I also liked how the portion was huge as well! And they gave you toast with it. The veggie omelet was my favourite! This was probably one of the best Omelets I've gotten!! It wasn't greasy as all and it had the perfect amount of cheese and the eggs were perfect. My only complaint would be I wish it had more veggies. We asked for no mushrooms and black olives, but I still wish they could have added more of the other veggies to substitute. I also liked how that came with toast as well. It was better than Omelets I've gotten at IHOP and Silver Diner. My only big con about this restaurant was the fact that the server didn't tell us about any up charges. I don't like it when people don't inform you about that so we all thought the hash browns were included in the meal but it costed extra. Granted, it wasn't that much, but still, it's more of a courtesy thing. Anyway, if you're in town, definitely come here! Prices are just right and the food is actually really good!!! read more

Very pleasant experience. The food was tasty and the service was good. Very affordable prices.

Such a wonderful dining experience! We stopped in for lunch and were greeted by Angel, one of the best food service technicians ever. A friendly person who was experienced in providing superior customer service. Zach is a culinary genius who understands how to make some of the best food you will ever taste along with an outstanding visual presentation. Great service, delicious food, friendly people and definitely a place that checks all the boxes. We will definitely be back! read more

It's not very good...a lot of the food tastes pre-fab. It is reasonably priced but I would rather pay a bit more for better quality. Stuck to the basics like eggs and home fries read more

Went there a while back with my husband and while the food was great the best part was how attentive and friendly our waitress was. Didnt catch her name but she was a skinny blonde cant wait for them to open up dining in again so I can go back read more

When you hear 'Farmer's Market Omelette', you think veggies, right? Or am I nuts? All this omelette had was burned meat and some peppers and onions. However, it still tasted good. I just think $8.50 was a little steep. My son LOVED his ham, eggs, and toast. Being told ham was an extra $1.60 would have been nice. My daughter's pancake was nice and fluffy. All in all, we were rained out at camp and needed food. It was a clean place and though pricy, the food was pretty good. I'd go back again if I needed to. read more

Bathrooms were pretty clean. Oily Monte Cristo, overdressed salad, burger was undersized and overcooked. Did I mention the BR was clean? You always hope for a pleasant surprise in a restaurant that's been around for "generations." Not this one, suggest you give another place a shot. read more

Let me start with the positive. I liked the marble rye bread and the slices were generous. And our waitress was pleasant. The omelet was ok--I was taken aback to see a razor thin slice of processed cheese and a few canned mushroom slices atop the very thin, non-fluffy omelet. There was some cheese (not as much as I would have liked) and more mushrooms inside but they didn't make for a great tasting omelet. The place was clean, but cold. read more

The food is ok but the service is very slow I wouldn't recommend this place for a quick meal better off going somewhere else

Just no!! Came for lunch with my boyfriend. Food was ok, nothing to write home about. TINY portions. $7.95 for a fish sandwich with zero sides. Little McDonald's bun. Gravy for the boyfriend's fries looked like straight flour. Suprise!! Tasted like flour. Used ketchup instead. I'm 5'2 and 115 lbs, leaving here still hungry. Going next door for a slice of pizza. What a waste of time and money. NEVER AGAIN. Eat here if you like samples served as entrees. Tip is included, patrons must take the crap ass food out on the servers. They suck too, no eye contact and quick with the bill. Zero stars if I could. read more

I'd give the sunrise 2-1/2 stars but Yelp doesn't have that option. It's a basic diner with decent breakfast and lunch options and typical diner fare for dinner. Fine if you're hungry and need to stop in the nearest place for a meal. Not outstanding, but solid, basic American food. They do have good pie, though - baked in-house. read more

I had dinner here the last 2 nights, Cuban sandwich, very tasty, authentic? Had the Meatloaf dinner and it was good. The real star of this place are the homemade soups. I've never had a better cream of mushroom soup! read more

I thought the food here was pretty good. I had the Alfredo. The only draw backs was is had a little too much pepper, and the serving size was enormous. Other than that I would go back if I lived in the area. read more

I was home for Christmas visiting family and so was a dear friend of mine, both in our home towns. So we decided to meet half way and it was Dansville, we chose Sunrise. It was great! It was quiet, they accommodated our large party (including babies), waitress was friendly and topped off our coffee numerous times, fast delivery of food, and the food was good. This isn't high class dining, it's more diner like, but it was right up our alley for our short but sweet get together. Cute place. read more

Disappointing. I've lived in the area for years and decided to try breakfast at this place. Will NOT be going back. Very dated and worn out inside. Old desert rack near checkout. Just plain old. The waitress named.....????.....she never told us her name, never said hello. Just asked for a drink order. Never smiled once. Very cold and uncaring. The food portions were reasonable, but the quality was low. "Home fries" were undercooked potato chunks. Pancakes were super thick and doughy. French toast had no flavor at all. Omelet was okay, but had cheap american cheese slices on top instead of real cheese inside. Save your money and go to the breakfast buffet at the truckstop in town. Much better food and reasonably priced. Also check out Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn when they are open. Awesome food and service! read more

Uh yeah...horrible service, under quality food, high prices....won't be back here again.

This is my favorite place to eat in Dansville. They have good cafe food. I like the fish, fried or broiled.

food was horrible. my boyfriend and i went there for breakfast one morning, and we were not impressed, nor satisfied. the wait staff was nice, but the food was not. i ordered cornbeef hash and it was straight out of a can and heated up!!! my boyfriend orded some type of omlet, it had sliced processed cheese inside and out, and was a frozen omlet, NOT fresh. it wasnt even shredded cheese. we asked the waitress what was the popular thing there, since we are from CA, and never ate there, and she told us the blueberry pancakes. the blueberry pancakes were GROSS. not even fresh blueberries, more like just a blueberry pancake store bought batter!! we will never return here if we visit NY again. read more

Painfully average small town diner. Food is average, inexpensive. But you get what you pay for. If your looking for quality home cooking, look elsewhere. If you just want a quick meal to fill the void, and dont mind pre-processed food, then Sunrise will work for you. read more
