    Cinnamon Waffles , Western omelette& Home fries
    Briany H.

    Food was great service was quick the ambiance was very homey it's a family owned business , diner style definitely coming back (I'm from jersey)

    the interior of the restaurant

    10$ omelette not bad. Always open, average Bronx diner. They accept cash only atm available onsite.

    The hungry man

    I've been coming to this diner for over a decade. This place is the perfect diner. The food has always been great except one occasion. My mom ordered an omelette and it was burnt and disgusting and my pancakes were burnt. When the waitress realized my mom didn't eat her food, they did not charge her for her meal. Besides this incident, I really like this place. It's my go to diner. They have delivery, pick up service, and take out. The waitresses are friendly and this place is pretty clean. Most importantly it's very affordable.

    Spanish coffee

    A warm family cafe diner located in the Bronx. It's clearly a neighborhood favorite. The food is tasty and the servings are generous. Definitely get the Spanish coffee with cinnamon.

    Easy foods and quick and nice service!

    I came here few times. Near by subway and good location. Just needed A/C today! Very hot outside... Foods are generally okay. Good services!

    If you're not sure what to order, the great thing about Sunlight is that it probably has any of your cravings on their menu. Sunlight has an old school diner feel to it with servers who are attentive and friendly. You walk in and you feel like you've traveled back in time to what diners should be like. I like that the place is not too big, its just big enough. The feel in Sunlight is retro for sure, I find the pink seating to be charming. Working near by I do not always have time to go out and look for what I want to eat. Going to Sunlight, you know you will find a great option and wont have to wait too long to get served. Even when they are super busy with their morning crowd, they still aim to please and make sure your order is correct. Whether your ordering for take out or dining in you will be happy with your service. Sunlight is very generous with their portion sizes as well. If you weren't that hungry, you will be leaving with leftovers. Sunlight is reasonably priced for the most part. You get a healthy size of food regardless of your order. They can get pricey with the add ons so if you're on a tight budget just make sure to ask for the prices. The friendly staff is more than happy to accommodate. I enjoy breakfast most of all at Sunlight. If I need to take it to go, my favorite order is the egg sandwich on toast. If I'm sitting, one of the more hearty breakfast choices is the way to go. They have yummy pancakes and will put anything into an omelet! (again will satisfy any craving). Other than that the food is pretty decent. If I could change something it would be their shoestring french fries. I love French fries, hear me out, but not shoe string fries, I find them to be too skinny and not crunchy enough. Other than that I'm usually pretty happy with my service at Sunlight. Its a great go to reliable spot in the area for a causal and relaxing meal.

    Oh, hell yeah! Sunlight is THE place to go in the Bronx. All positives here. Good food, good prices, classic New York diner atmosphere. Yankees fans heaven. They're just doing it right. Eat in, take out. Just go to the Sunlight! Just remember, it's cash only, that's the only thing I'd change.

    But can we get into this food!???…read more I ordered the Double-Mac w/ Fried Shrimp . Not only did it taste AMAZING, but they have the A1 customer service to match!! #Support this #BLACKOWNED business! I know I'll definitely be coming back for more.

    Arrived at 1:15 PM, they allegedly open at 1pm, and falsely advertise lunch specials from 1-4pm on…read moretheir menu. I thought they were closed, as the lights were off and it looked empty. The door was unlocked and when I got inside, it was dark and there was one employee present, with his head down. He then asked me if it was 1pm several times like he's not even tracking the time/ no device or watch near him, then I'm like it's 1:15pm. He is the only employee present (basically cashier, cook & anything else). I asked him about the lunch specials and to clarify which meals the deal applied to, he pointed to a chalk board with a bunch of options, I chose one from the list. Claimed order would take about 5 mins, took 15 extra minutes, made me late to work. Then when the food came out, it was $30 and the 2nd employee who had come in (late) claimed they didn't have the lunch deal anymore. I clarified that I asked the person cooking in the back (only other person there) when I arrived SPECIFICALLY about which meals the deal applied to and he gave me the choices on the board. She then looked around with a dumb look like she was confused, despite him just having given me that misinformation and he stayed quiet in the back. She basically just said well this is how much it is, expecting me to pay $30 for a meal they falsely advertised as a lunch deal. Kindly left the whole order there and said I'll talk to Yelp. Don't advertise a deal from 1-4pm and have it in writing and have employees confirming it exists and then once the food is made, expect someone to be SCAMMED and pressured into paying full price. Very disorganized, unprofessional and dishonest. What kind of business has employees forgetting to open, sleeping in the dark, other employee showing up even more late and then falsely advertises a lunch deal and the employees aren't even on the same page on whether or not it exists. Feel like they were trying to take advantage and exploit me for my $, despite it being their mistake and expecting me to just pay like a clown. Ridiculous I was late back to work, despite it being a 2 min walk from my job and me being the first customer there, 15 mins after opening. Just to not even get any food and starve all day because they advertise a lunch deal to pull people in and then charge them full price like SCAMMERS. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOURSELF THE WASTED TIME AND EMPTY STOMACH. Love supporting my Black businesses but the few that operate like they're doing somebody a favor, or serving a free plate, need to learn what being a business looks like. (& that's for all businesses not just Black ones but still)
