Breakfast selection was small but had great choices with specials. My group had a typical egg sandwich. It was a good size. Also had the hash special which was excellent and would highly recommend. We lastly enjoyed the French toast with fruit special. No skimping here! Good service and a clean environment gave this spot 5 stars. read more

We tried four sandwiches and all were good. However the salads and fries accompanying them were not. The salad was a bit wilted and the fries were underdone/soggy. This is still pretty good for an airport. read more

This place is made by the same chef as Homecomin' in Disney Springs! I will say this food falls in line with the rest of the food in terminal C (it's wayyyyy better than anything in terminal A and B but it's still overpriced airport food). I was looking for something healthy so I grabbed a salad with some coconut shrimp. For a $7 up-charge, I was hoping it would come with more than 4 shrimp. The shrimp were delicious though! The salad was a standard salad. The bartender was great :) he had such a fun personality. I didn't catch his name though. I also love that the bar area had a lot of little toys as decor. I believe he called it "the land of lost toys" haha. read more

We had a 5:10 flight and stopped at Sunshine Diner, located in Terminal C of MCO, to grab a quick bite before boarding since we'd be getting home too late for dinner. My wife and I shared the turkey club, which was definitely big enough for two and had great flavor. She had a hot tea, and I went with a Mountain Dew. The staff was friendly from the hostess to our waitress, who was very accommodating and great to chat with. Portions were very good, and the atmosphere was especially nice for an airport restaurant. read more

Sunshine Diner is located in Terminal C of MCO. A plus is that this place opens early. We were hear for a 7:30am flight and were in this restaurant around 6am. The staff is very friendly and we received some great service. They pointed us in the direction of some of the breakfast specials they have had and we ordered the sandwich and the buttermilk pancakes. The portions are decent if you're not too hungry and want to share. The food was good and came in a timely manner...something much appreciated when you're in an airport and trying to eat before catching a flight. The ambiance was "airport" LOL meaning it was fine and the vibes were good. Like I said before, the staff was really great and even offered to fill up our water bottles with ice and water for us in lieu of asking for a glass of water to use. The Sunshine Diner got the job done for an early breakfast! read more

Pretty decent airport establishment. Their food was all very tasty and very fresh! They weren't too busy on a Saturday afternoon, so we were in and out relatively quick. Overpriced, but that was to be expected with airport food. Definitely worth a visit if you need quick and reliable food in their airport. read more

Delicious, friendly, and perfect location. I was heading out for a trip and was looking for something to eat. I came across the Sunshine Diner in terminal c and was thrilled. I sat at the bar and was taken care of by Chris, he was great. Knew the menu, made a mean drink, and had a great personality. I had a side of fries, two empanadas, the smashed potatoes, and some delicious drinks. It was a great location watching people running for their flights and I can't wait to go back. read more

Airport food usually doesn't have the best reviews. This was the highest rated place in terminal C so that was what brought me here. I would say my experience was just average for an airport. Nothing was personal or overtly friendly until it was time for me to pay and a different woman than my waiter came over with my check and asked if I wanted a refill on my drink ... maybe if I was still eating but I'm ready to leave at this point. My waiter didn't check on me ever. My flatbread was decent for an airport. There is a bar you can sit at here. Price was high as expected for an airport. read more

Honestly, I was disappointed with this spot. It was expensive, the food was not great, the coffee was even worse. Thankfully I had a great server and it was a quick enough meal that it was not all bad. I decided to just get a hot coffee (espresso machine was down) and then a side order of scrambled eggs and sausage. The sausage was overcooked but the eggs were just okay. The coffee was absolutely burnt to a crisp and even though I used a whole caraffe of cream, it never changed color. The space itself is cute and has a fun theme, and everything was clean. Overall, I'd say that I wouldn't come back here. I don't know if the regular meals are any better, but I'm not sure I want to try again. read more

I was traveling out of terminal C and the options near my gate were limited. I am sure the restaurant knows this and that's why they feel justified charging these prices. My server looked like he was losing a little bit of his soul with every passing minute. I don't blame him though... I probably would too working in that environment and dealing with tourists. I decided on the grilled chicken platter. It was surprisingly tasty! I do wish there was more broccoli. Will I return? Most likely not. read more

This was a place we came across prior to boarding our plane to Jamaica. The server was pretty nice and attentive. The place wasn't too crowded ether and clean. I ordered breakfast but without any meat protein but the server was actually able to give me avocado which I thought was great! I paired my breakfast with coffee and it was delicious. I love diners like this especially when you are at the airport. Food came out hot. Definitely would come back! read more

Arrived early? Got through security quickly? Hungry, teetering on hangry? Caffeine deficit? Needing a Mimosa? Make sure you head to the Sunshine Diner by Art Smith. Located in the departures of Terminal C at Orlando International Airport. It's across gate 236. The Diner has a quick to go market and a side for table service. There is ample seating, varied with tables and booths. Singles, doubles or groups. The hostess sat us and promptly our server came over & took our drink orders, coffee, water and apple juice. The menu has plenty of options, platters, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes and oatmeal. Lunch sandwiches and specialty drinks, mimosas, lattes and teas. My husband ordered baconeggandcheese, made with 3 scrambled, eggs and very crispy bacon, on a brioche bun. It is served with home fries. I got the Jose's breakfast sandwich, sunny side up egg, caremalized onions, avocado and bacon, on a croissant. Also served with home fries. Both sandwiches are good, the scrambled eggs are fluffy, the avocado fresh, the bun and croissant are toasted. The coffee was just ok. The service, excellent, attentive, friendly, efficient and quick. The prices range from $17 and up. read more

Came here to enjoy a drink before my flight and I love this area. It is so cute with delicious beverages. I didn't taste any food but the food I saw others eating looks out of this world for airport food. I got a blackberry Gin and Tonic which was unbelievable. I had a wonderful experience with Chris. He was unbelievably friendly, attentive, kind, and did his job well. He carried on great conversation while still working the bar top with ease. Next flight I'm here for I won't even give the other bars/restaurants a chance. Well done sunshine diner. Well. Done. !!! read more

I'm not a huge fan of the restaurant at Disney Springs (overhyped and over-priced) but I loved the Sunshine Diner at Terminal C AT OIA for my morning flight. I was immediately seated in a preferred booth and quickly placed my order of eggs, bacon, toast, and maybe the best OJ I've ever had in this airport. Friendly and fast service, I don't even think I was here 30 minutes and my food was served nice and hot. I would definitely return and recommend breakfast here to anyone before they hit the friendly skies. read more

Sunshine Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Sunshine Diner at Orlando Airport lands squarely in the acceptable but flawed category. The food itself is serviceable, nothing memorable yet nothing offensive either, which in the world of airport dining can sometimes be a quiet win. However, what truly holds this place back is the glaring lack of cleanliness. Sticky tables, crumbs and scraps scattered across the floor, and the general feeling that the space hasn't had the deep wipe-down it desperately needs make it hard to fully enjoy a meal here. A diner lives and dies by atmosphere, and this one feels like it's running on half power. But -- and this is important -- the service is exceptional. The staff runs like a well-oiled machine, moving guests in and out efficiently, and their friendliness elevates what could have been a forgettable stop into something better. There's genuine hospitality here, and it shows. With even a modest investment in keeping the environment as sharp as the service team, Sunshine Diner could become one of the airport's must-stop spots rather than just an okay one. Encouragingly, the potential is right there -- the food is passable, the team is excellent, and the only missing ingredient is the attention to cleanliness that travelers deserve. A little polish could go a very long way. read more

I came to kill time before a flight. The service was great from start to finish! The server/ bartender recommended a few drinks since the key lime beer was out. I settle on a nice crisp glass of Sauvignon Blanc with a Double Jack Daniel's shot. He upsold me for $5 why not! I will be fast asleep on this plane chin chin! The ambiance was calm and inviting. A Floridian diner feel. I will visit again next time I fly out! read more

One of the best Airport experiences you'll have at the airport. the prices are not insane. Breakfast is a real breakfast. You can have a cocktail if you want to or actually just sit down and eat. It feels like a diner highly recommend and the customer service is simply impeccable. definitely stop by and say hello. read more

A really decent stop for food in Terminal C! Chef Art's reputation holds up here for me - while of course Homecoming at Disney Springs has superior quality and experience, this little airport restaurant was just what I needed! I had a Cobb salad and added coconut shrimp as the protein - the shrimp were delicious, and the salad was loaded with ingredients, not skimpy at all! I would definitely come back to try breakfast here, which seems to be their staple. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at the airport! read more

My niece's flight was delayed and we needed dinner. Lucky enough, her gate was by Sunshine Diner. I knew immediately we were going to eat there because I love Homecomin in Disney Springs. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of the same great drinks on the menu that Homecomin has, like the peach moonshine. The food menu is a little limited, but they have friend chicken, biscuits and mac and cheese, which are some of my favorites from Homecomin. I ended up going the healthy route and I ordered a salad and my niece ordered a cheeseburger. The salad was really fresh, it was a big portion and they were able to accommodate my dietary restrictions by removing certain ingredients. Even though we weren't in a rush, we were in and out in under 30 minutes. Whether I'm flying out of terminal C, or accompanying a minor, like my niece, I will definitely eat at Sunshine Diner again! read more

Cute little diner in terminal C at the MCO airport. Our server was great and provided efficient service so that we were able to leisurely enjoy our meal and check out in time to catch our flight. They have the option of takeout/grab and go or sit down in booths/tables as well as a bar to sit at. We ordered the burger, empanadas, and coconut shrimp, and they were all served very fresh and hot. The coconut shrimp was perfectly crispy. read more

Let's be honest: no one ever expects fine dining when we are talking about airport food. Located in Terminal C in MCO, the Sunshine Diner by chef Art Smith is a great option for fresh, restaurant quality food at relatively decent prices. I ordered the chopped salad, which was mixed greens topped with shredded cheese, roasted corn, red onions, bacon, cherry tomatoes, avocado, a sliced hard boiled egg, and topped with balsamic vinaigrette. The portion size was impressive, as was the freshness of all the ingredients. It was prepared quickly (important for airport dining) and my server was pleasant. I also got a bloody mary which was fine. The next time you're in the new Terminal C at MCO, make sure to spend your layover at the Sunshine Diner. read more

I'm used to the chef Art Smith's restaurant that is in Disney springs. That restaurant is absolutely delicious and the food in that restaurant is delicious, so once I heard about this, I had to come by. I decided to order a chicken sandwich and it was pretty good, the problem is, I could only take two bites, and then I was full. No problem with the sandwich itself it was just me, my partner got the burger and told me the burger was seasoned perfectly to perfection, and had all the juices encapsulated inside of it. I Would come back in a heartbeat, I was very happy with the service and with the overall food. It's a yay for me. read more

Service was excellent. Cuban sandwich was good. Fries was very good and freshly made.

The food was fine, but the customer service was poor. I spent $32 on a take-out meal from the market but sat down to eat in the empty dining area, unknowingly violating their policy. Instead of a quick, empathetic correction, a staff member immediately kicked me out. Needless to say I was disappointed by the inflexible and unwelcoming customer service at this location at Terminal C of the Orlando Airport I own the mistake of missing the signage, but this was a simple opportunity for staff to gain a loyal customer with a friendly, "Next time, please remember this area is for dine-in orders," but they chose the opposite. Inflexible, zero-tolerance policies (even when tables are open) create a terrible, unwelcome customer experience. They need to prioritize "reading the room" and treating paying guests with basic empathy. I expect a large chain to enforce such a rigid policy, but not an independent establishment. True customer experience extends beyond a decent meal; it requires empathy and situational awareness. For the price I paid, I expected better. This interaction unnecessarily created a terrible experience and demonstrated a disregard for the customer. If anyone bothers to read this, look up "Just give em the Pickle" and they will see more happy customers at minimal costs and a huge ROI, however it would require their staff to think on their feet and prioritize customers over policy enforcement read more

While the fruit cup I received was good as well as the mimosa, the service could have been better. The waiter looked like he'd rather be somewhere else. There were virtually no gluten free options. I like breakfast places that have a fair amount of hustle and bustle - which this place had. The eggs were decent but the coffee was sub par. read more

The first thing you notice about this diner is how airy and spacious it feels. Many airport eateries almost feel like an afterthought and have tables or stools crammed so closely together that you feel like the proverbial sardine. The Sunshine Diner's layout and design takes advantage of the height and natural light that can be found in Terminal C at MCO. The menu is not expansive, but it has plenty of staples and enough variety that every hungry traveler should be able to find something which appeals to them. The food tasted fresh and came to my table piping hot. Being able to sit down and enjoy a warm meal before an early flight certainly outweighs the typical "grab n go" or food that's been sitting under a food warmer. The hostess was very welcoming, and the server was extremely friendly. A customer at a different table had a specific request which could not be accommodated, and she handled it very well and the customers stayed and ate. If I have any additional early morning travel out of Terminal C, this will be where I stop for a bite. read more
