Reasonably priced. Somehow it looks crowded but always manage to get our food quick! My family & friends usually do breakfast & the portions are plenty. read more

I feel pretty lukewarm about this place. If you are a true foodie, you might want to check out other options. I had the sausage supreme skillet and it was okay. When I ordered rye toast they charged extra and then ruined it by saturating it with a liquid margarine....very oily. The place could definitely use some updating to the decor. The staff was neither rude or friendly. They seemed to be suffering quietly and barely cracked a smile. read more

we go often, never bad service, fast no wait time , really nice help (clean & polite) ns prices are still reasonable! rwe recomment!

My daughter and I were in Dubuque for the weekend. We ate twice at this location, and both times were extremely pleased! All staff were super friendly, and helpful. (They all wore masks, if you are concerned about COVID.) It was pretty full, obviously the locals know the place is great. If you're used to American diner fare, it's what you would expect, except everything is extremely fresh! (E.g., the eggs tasted like local farm-fresh eggs, etc.) Sitting by the kitchen, you could hear someone scrambling the eggs by hand every few minutes! Skillet breakfasts are perfectly sized (large, but not wastefully so), pancakes were rich and fluffy, bacon was perfectly cooked, and coffee was fresh, hot, and plentiful! Oh, and extremely fast service, too! read more

Sunshine Family Restaurant West - Business Man's Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

"Down home cooking that sticks to your ribs," as they say on the farm. I had the southern sunrise breakfast: bacon, sausage, eggs, and biscuits and gravy. Plus coffee, of course. Watch out for the little creamer cups: you don't wanna accidentally add French vanilla to your coffee like I did this morning. I've also had the meat lovers skillet, which was tasty and filling as well. Friendly, but not intrusive service. Good place to sit and read or visit with friends and family. read more

Great spot for breakfast, friendly bunch,food was excellent and tasty , enjoyable as always, 5 stars

The food is not good. My daughter got the French toast with strawberries and whipped cream. The strawberries were not fresh. The strawberries looked like "mushed" strawberries. Our waitress was not friendly. The restaurant was dirty inside. read more

Great restaurant for breakfast and lunch. I had soup and tuna melt while hubby ate breakfast (pictured). Extensive lunch menu including dinner-type entrees. Senior (60+) section too. Recommended by the hotel we were staying. This would be a regular spot for us if it was back home. Enjoyed great service with Carol as our waitress. read more

Personally, I was not a fan. Service: Our waitress was very distant, she spilled coffee on our table, and didn't offer to clean it up. She left the check on the table without saying anything. Even my boyfriend said she wasn't the friendliest and he is usually oblivious to most things. Food: I got a pancake with hash browns. I asked for cheddar cheese on my hash browns, and came with American, figure it's not worth the fight to get it changed. The pancakes tasted like pancakes, my boyfriends omelet was average. Overall... 3 stars, typical breakfast place, nothing extravagant, everything was average. read more

if you want to take your chances, the restaurant is just dirty, fRon the glasses to the tables, we sat next to the waitress station which smelled like a dirty dish rag. the food came out one plate at a time, over 20 minutes; my order came out twice and the kids pancake last 15 minutes after and was cold. never brought toast til the bill cam. I recommend you find another restaurant read more

I am seldom motivated to write reviews, good or bad. But today was so frustrating I felt it was my duty. My wife and I were in Dubuque for a short vacation and wanted to grab a good, local breakfast. Reviews here were solid so we decided to give it a try. We visited several restaurants in Dubuque (first time we have attended any in person since COVID 19 hit), and every one did a great job with social distancing, wearing masks, etc. Until we got to Sunshine. We were greeted and seated immediately by a young lady wearing no mask. There were no closed tables, and we were surrounded by other customers on three sides, not more than 3-4 feet away. Our waitress, also wearing no mask, came by quickly and gave us menus and water, and said she would return shortly for our orders. 7-8 minutes later she had not returned. During this time we realized that no employees and no customers were wearing masks. I was also staring at cobwebs on the back of my wife's booth seat. We decided we were not comfortable or happy with the service and left. Nobody said a word. It's very strange to write a bad review about lack of COVID planning, but in today's world I feel it is appropriate. read more

Stopped here on the way out of town. Very good breakfast. If you leave here hungry it's your own fault. They give you big portions

Sunshine Family Restaurant West - County Fried steak. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Breakfast is good with affordable prices, cozy dinner. My only issue was the coffee. Terrible coffee, did not taste well just water and color. Coffee is everything to me!!! read more

Good food at a good price with a lot of options to choose from. Neat little place to get breakfast.

First breakfast out since the covid lockdown. Everyone is saying, support your local small business instead of chains. Well, spend your money elsewhere. My husband politely asked the waitress if she was glad to be back to work, mostly just making small talk. "No, she snapped, " for this? It's not worth my time or the owner's time for this." Well guess what, honey, It is not our fault! We will support different small business, thank you. read more

Great food, fast service!!! We had a group of 6 on a Sunday and it was no time at all we were eating and gone.

Excellent breakfast. Outstanding service and will definitely be back again next time I visit Dubuque!

Love this place. Cheap, fast, and tasty breakfast. I guess I need to hit the word count so I'm going to just type until I hit the minimum.
