A cozy little gem in Meredith with great views of the Lake. Breakfast is reliable and tasty, and the lunch menu offers the usual - soups, salads, Reuben, hamburgers, etc. All very tasty. Recommended. read more

Food was cold when it arrived at the table. Nothing we ordered was memorable. We had stuffed French toast, potatoes, and an omelet. read more

Really nice home made little diner for the money and staff were nice, cozy...............................

Great breakfast! First time trying, since our normal place was closed for a holiday. Called ahead and they let us get on the list, which was a huge help with the 30 minute wait. Not a huge amount of seating, but they were able to get us a 6 person table. Very clean, and welcoming waitresses. Service was prompt for drinks and ordering, but a long wait for food. Not an issue since we had nowhere to be, and could be an issue for those on a tight schedule. Could have also just been a one off that day. Dealbreaker for me on breakfast places is the coffee, and the coffee here was perfect. Not old/burned, or fancy/bitter, just good coffee. Food was absolutely on point. Fajita omelet, breakfast burritos were delicious, and the fried potatoes were great. I will be dining here again TLDR: Nice staff, good coffee, delicious food. read more

This is an excellent breakfast spot in Meredith. Surprisingly, it wasn't busy on Saturday, but it was quite crowded on Sunday. The ambiance was casual. We tried the corned beef hash and the Wave Run breakfast, both of which were really good and super reasonably priced. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and they accept credit cards. read more

What fantastic find. Great food at very reasonable prices. I would expect higher prices due to the area. I got the Hungry Boater. Huge meal that has 3 eggs, pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, a piece of ham, home fries and toast. Burp! So good. read more

Old diner vibes, friendly staff and love supporting local like this. I'd ask for the home fries well done next time cause some of the potatoes were cold (but they had great seasoning). Other than that food was your average diner comfort food! A great location in Meredith with a water view and walking distance from the docks and Mills Falls area! read more

Came in on a Friday morning on my birthday for pancakes. We were seated right away. It wasn't crowded. Our server was nice and the food came out quickly. My pancakes though weren't great. They're were large and hot. But they weren't that soft and fluffy pancake I was looking for. They were kind of tough and dense. My partner got the brisket Benedict. But one of the eggs were over cooked. The other was perfect. Not a perfect meal but I'd return to see if it was maybe a fluke read more

Friendly breakfast spot filled with locals and tourists, where you can get anything from a big high calorie lumberjack style plate to a healthy veggie egg white scramble. We come back every year when we're visiting from California. read more

Best breakfast place around the lakes region !!! my husband and I have been everywhere but this is our favorite. We go here very frequently. It is always consistent, best poached eggs around and the best bacon around. Everything is cooked fresh and a very friendly catering staff can't wait to go back next weekend.!!!! read more

We chose this brunch spot on a weekend visit because they offered some outdoor seating. While waiting for our name to be called we noticed that the waitress serving the outside tables was wearing her mask incorrectly (under her nose) and then TOOK THE MASK OFF while taking orders not even two feet away from patrons. We immediately took our names off the waitlist and switched to takeout instead. It seemed like this place was pretty understaffed but they forgot about our order until the hostess came out and saw we were still hanging around. When we came in to grab the food and pay, the same waitress was not wearing her mask INSIDE. I get that NH is a state with so-so mask adherence, but I expect businesses to comply with the state rules at a minimum. And by the way, the food was lukewarm and mediocre at best. So if you want a one-stop shop for bad food and COVID, by all means, check it out. [one redeeming aspect of the visit was the bubbly hostess, so do say hi to her.] We went to 48 Main for coffee after and saw they have great breakfast food and outdoor seating - save your time and head straight there. read more

My favorite local breakfast spot in Meredith. Big menu, large portions, delicious fresh cooked food and friendly service. Lots of tables and booths although it will get busy during summertime. I enjoy the omelettes, egg sandwiches, french toast and pancakes. read more

We enjoyed this place! While spending some time recently at Lake Winnipesaukee, we ventured over here for breakfast one morning. First of all, the catchy name is what first drew my attention, and then the good reviews sealed the deal. Being in the middle of the pandemic, they were good to practice social distancing and mask wearing rules. There are only a couple of picnic tables outside and this place is popular to be prepared to eat inside. However, I never felt weird or putting myself at risk. My family ordered a plethora of menu items from traditional breakfasts to unique specials. One of the things I loved was that they had a nice selection of healthy alternatives. Whole grain pancakes, turkey bacon, gluten free breads..as this satisfied those with dietary restrictions. Everything was delicious! We gobbled it up. Not to mention our clearly overstretched server was incredibly friendly and quick! I ended up buying one of the cute yellow coffee mugs to remember my time there. I like to head to the area each year and will make Sunshine and Pa's a regular spot. read more

Excellent menu with lots of options - the double decker was delicious as were the Southwest Scramble and the chicken fried steak. Hearty slices of bread, fast and accurate service. Easy parking but expect to wait on busy mornings. Totally worth it - best breakfast place in Meredith! Diner style booths and tables with similar atmosphere. We loved it and will return. read more

We had a really nice lunch here today after kayaking on the lake. We just wanted something light and easy, and this place fit the bill. The food was reasonably priced and was very tasty. My Greek salad wrap with chicken tasted very fresh and was quite yummy. My husband liked his fajita wrap as well. French fries were good but wish they were crispier--this was a weak point. My son got French toast which was just fine, but his breakfast sausage was very good quality. Service was pleasant and professional as well. Overall, we were definitely happy. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. read more

Decent breakfast place. A little oldish on the inside. Food ok. Only went once and it was ok. One of 2 diners in a block. Other diner has dinner and daily specials read more

Had an awesome breakfast in downtown Meredith when we were up here for a wedding. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious. It has the classic diner feel inside. We will definitely be back when in town! read more

Food was delish, waitress was friendly and the ambiance was laid back. Enjoyed our meal and we recommended it to fellow travelers that same day. read more

My husband and I always go here when we visit Meredith. The food has been decent, fairly consistent. We will no longer patronize this business bc of the rudeness of the person who greeted our three young adult children. They went in looking for something to eat and we're greeted rudely with "WE CLOSE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES". Ok I get it, the servers are running hard abs working hard and want to go home. But truly there is no reason to greet people like this. They obviously didn't stay and will find, most likely, much better food as there are many eating establishments in that area. So now, you've put a bad taste (pun intended) in the mouth of regular patrons who will not only no longer give you their business, but in this age of social media and post-pandemic competitiveness, will most likely deter others. All because somebody couldn't be nice. read more

Clean, friendly, fair priced, and very good breakfast. What more can you ask for? Waitress friendly and attentive. One to put on my favorite list. We will be back. Yes, we are locals. First time here. Thanks read more

A great place for breakfast - they've got a good variety of standard offerings, done well. They can handle families (with or without kids). It's a local joint of the best kind. Have only been there for breakfast, so can't tell you about the rest, but it's the best breakfast place I've tried in the area. read more

Best breakfast in the area, lovely food, friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Wouldn't hesitate to try them out. Could use more staff, but unfortunately that's an issue with a lot of restaurants these days. read more

The portion sizes have been cut in half. I'd rather they raise the prices and then give the amount of food they used to.

Exactly the breakfast experience we wanted! Excellent veggie Benedict, strawberry and cream stuffed French toast. With a lake view. Friendly efficient service thanks Melissa (sunshine indeed) read more

Sunshine and Pa's - Perfecto! - New American Near Me - Meredith, New Hampshire

Came here because it was one of the few restaurants that was close to where we were. I ordered the breakfast special with pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs and bacon. The pancakes was spongy and light. I liked it though. The bacon has definitely been sitting on the grill as it was not crispy at all. Such a shame that it was not cooked to order. You can definitely tell it's been sitting. Probably left over from the breakfast crowd. The sausage was good though. That was my favorite part of the dish. It tasted like it was made in house. Good flavor and not overly salty. One thing I have to mention is that the cost is pretty reasonable. The coffee was a little bitter to my liking. It's probably the way the locals like their coffee. read more

Amazing banana blueberry pancakes with warm Vermont maple syrup!!! Our waitress was great. We will definitely go back on our next visit.

A quaint little dinner with great service. The dinner is your standard run of the mill diner. I ordered Pa's favorite on the menu and it was fairly inexpensive and a decent item to order. The entire menus is fairly priced and with fast service. Easily accessible restaurant with seating for the whole family! I would recommend this dinner for a quick bite to eat. I rate this three stars because this is a very standard restaurants nothing extremely special, your run-of-the-mill diner. However, still holds up a adequate standard. read more

Solid little restaurant serving comfort food and a great view of the Big Lake. Try the veggie chili. Delish. The chicken salad sandwich is also wonderful. My kids love the macaroni and cheese. Recommended. read more

Had a really bad experience. This place used to have good food & good service - but today I went with family for brunch and after waiting for over an hour our server says they forgot our order... they then retook our order and again forgot and took another 45min to get food out. The second time, we still had to ask where our food was, if it was being made, and saw other orders and takeout being made and served prior to us receiving food or even a coffee/water refill. Finally - after getting our food, the order was missing items and had incorrect items. The quality of food was also sub-par, tasted like the English muffin had been microwaved, the bacon was clearly coated in dirty grease, the butter was soaking the toast to the point where it was soggy, and the eggs tasted like they too were cooked in grease. They had also ran out of items that we had ordered... like avocado, and hash browns. Not a good experience, I honestly was very disappointed, and on top of all of this I did feel that when we were frustrated and hungry our server was a little defensive and still did not make having our food made a priority. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else, or stay home and cook a nice breakfast for yourself!! read more

Love this place! Great food, great staff, great prices! We breakfast here every summer vacation! You won't be disappointed!

Great little place. Ordered breakfast takeout for my family this morning and they were so friendly and quick. Everything was delicious!

We stopped here for breakfast while on vacation in town (always good to escape New Jersey). Sunshine's wait wasn't too long to get seated for a Sunday, however it took about 45 minutes after placing our order to get our food. That just may be our Jersey nature, but it seemed like awhile. We ordered the pancakes and eggs combinations and I got a side of corned beef hash. Food was ok, standard fare for breakfast items. Pancakes lacked much flavor but were fluffy. Corned beef hash was canned. My wife had blueberry pancakes and enjoyed them quite a bit, better than the plain. Food was a 2.5 or 3, but the fact it took 45 minutes to prepare eggs and a total of 4 pancakes results in 2 stars. Also, next door is George's which was fantastic with all homemade food items, including killer corned beef hash and solid coffee. Strongly recommend George's if you're coming to town for breakfast. Can't speak to lunch or dinner. read more

Great little spot. Very cozy. Service and breakfast were great. Reasonably priced too!

Lackluster. Ignored for the first 10 minutes as we stood first in line in front of the "please wait to be seated" sign with multiple tables open. Waited a long time again for waitress to ask for our order, then forgotten after breakfast was brought to table and coffee never asked to refilled. Food was average at best. Whole experience was forgettable. read more

My wife and I had breakfast here while visiting the area. The menu had a broad offering of standard breakfast fare. There seemed to be plenty of seating and it was reasonably quite. Both of our meals were good; the coffee was good. read more

Everything was so good! Pancakes, eggs and especially the sausage links. We really enjoyed our breakfast.
