Country style restaurant opens early and closes shortly after lunch. They serve a good portion of liver mush. Eggs were very fresh and flavorful. Toast doesn't come buttered, I guess that's a local thing. Will have to visit for lunch in the future.
Everyone is so down to earth here. The food is amazing and comes out pretty fast. The price is worth it for the quality and quantity of your food. Can't wait to come back.
Had a pleasant experience. Our server Katy made sure our food was right and stayed on top of refilling our drinks. We we're on vacation and I'm glad we chose this place
Just ate breakfast there this morning. Everything was perfect. Coffee was very good and all food delicious. Sandy was my waitress and was amazing. Can't wait to go back again and order to go meals too. Made my day : )
Came twice while I was visiting my friend. First day was excellent, They offer a 1/2 waffle! Second day my friends coffee was cold when he got initial one and my grits had a dirty spoon in it. That didn’t stop us from enjoying our meal. Plus, I’m sure we will return next time I visit.
We were starving and looking for a place for breakfast when we saw the sign for the Sunrise Grill. They closed at 11:00 and we pulled in at 10:45. As close to closing as we were, we were welcomed with smiles and seated instantly. I ordered the veggie omelette with a side of bacon and a biscuit and my partner had eggs, grits, and sausage biscuits and gravy. He enjoyed his down to the last spoonful of grits. My 2 egg veggie omelette was excellent, hot and full of veg and cheese. The biscuit was delicious ( I don’t care whose Mama made those biscuits! ) My only criticism would be the OJ that came in a cardboard container ( like you got in elementary school) which was bitter; if it hadn’t been for the sell by date I would’ve thought it was past its prime.
I had the pleasure of dining at Sunrise Grill recently, and I must say, the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The food was not just good; it was exceptional. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. What truly stood out, though, was the incredible friendliness and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. They were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also eager to accommodate any special requests. Their genuine kindness made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Sunrise Grill is more than just a place to eat; it's a place where you can savor delicious food while feeling like a valued guest. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with top-notch food and exceptionally friendly staff.
