The food was less than mid and I feel like some of it was maybe older food stock that they were using up. It was seat yourself, so we sat and it may have been a heavy part of the day but we were greeted eventually. We were asked for drinks orders, I asked for a coffee and water, my partner also ordered coffee and water, the rest of them ordered waters. After disbursing they then took our food order. Breakfast burrito for me, eggs Benedict for my partner, my kid had Valencia French toast, my other kid had the breakfast croissant sandwich, my in law had half order of biscuits and gravy with egg. The food came out, my in law went to cut into their biscuit and it was rock hard. My breakfast burrito was lacking flavor. The eggs Benedict was not homemade hollandaise sauce. The Valencia French toast was good but not very tangy or orange flavored unlike the description. The egg croissant was okay but the eggs looked like they were rubber. When I checked out, I asked for a blueberry muffin, bear claw, a blueberry danish and raspberry turnover. I assume it was the owner ringing me out because they seemed to act the owner but when they went to put the items in the bag, they had to excuse themselves to blow their nose. I am watching this all happen, but instead of washing his hands first, he reaches into the case with a parchment sheet hand no gloves to grab my blueberry muffin. Now why didn't I say no thank you after that, I didn't want to be rude. Maybe I should have, but either way I'm thinking that will be the last time I go here. Food was less than mid, the service was not stellar, I would try somewhere else if you're looking for good food. But if you're okay with what I listed above, go for it!! read more

1.0 star rating6/26/2025 I went in for the first time a while ago after my Doctor's appointment. Having never been here before, I was unaware this was a seat yourself establishment. I stood around the front confused, for a few seconds. One server walked past me, while I noticed the other seemed to notice me, but was choosing to make faces from afar instead of helping me. Finally, the latter server tells me I can sit anywhere. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and my husband ordered the eggs benedict. My biscuit was hard, and the gravy was soupy with the insipid taste of only flour. The hollandaise on my husband's eggs benedict was ghastly, it was split and tasted old. Our server was rude, and didn't check back on the table often. After all of this, we headed to the checkout and are rung up by a cook. The cook handles my CASH, and then proceeds to put gloves on, without washing their hands, and continues cooking. This sort of behavior is disgusting and doesn't seem to be checked in this establishment. Servers seem to favor their regulars, and are unfriendly towards newcomers. Won't be returning!!! read more

Madera Sunrise - Nasty biscuits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Green Valley, Arizona

Sunday brunch was a bummer. Don't order the steak sandwich brunch special. Meat was tough with gristle and tons of mustard on it. My bagel with salmon was barely toasted and was very chewy. Not a good experience for us. read more

We were disappointed with our food selection. Ordered the pastrami sandwich (split for 2) and side of potato salad. The sandwich was waay too salty. Intolerably so. And the potato salad was too mustardy. Nasty. And the prices? Outrageous. $13.50 for the sandwich. All in I paid $20 for this bad lunch. Their breakfast items were likewise pricey. Ambience was OK. read more

Food delicious, very friendly! Love the sandwiches and the soup. Breakfast was also amazing.

Haven't been here for a while... Great food, good prices, varied menu. Attentive service.. Wish it stayed open later.. read more

I'm sorry, this place sucks. Visiting from Alaska, where most of the food sucks. So it's not hard to top that. But Madera Sunrise was incredibly underwhelming. I should've known when we walked in and saw a room full of geriatrics. It may be palatable for old people, but not for someone who wants something special for paying an exorbitant amount. The portions are small and pretty miserable. Overpriced, basic, underseasoned, sad. Shakshouka was gross. They fried the eggs rather than poach them the way it should be done. Then they did the ephemeral white westerner thing and sprinkled shredded cheese on it- not authentic at all. Not even close. Not even tbe same dish. The service was okay. The waitress was nice. That's the only reason I didn't give one star. Try something else. Seriously. read more

Too pricey for the quantity of food u get. Need to improve on service. No one ready to sit u down or come n take ur order. N the few employees that were there, looked like they were stressing out. My whole experience made me feel uncomfortable . Will try another time to go there. Maybe I the summer z. read more

The first time I went I forgot to write a review. It was okay that time. They took a long time to bring our food and the food itself wasn't too great. I returned today with low expectations, but boy was I wrong. It's as if the restaurant itself read my mind and improved. The food was WAY better. The time they took was less, and the chocolate milk was more decent instead of watered down. Still the same feel to the restaurant. Pretty clean. read more

Best eggs Benny and they have introduced fabulous hash browns! Outdoor seating with Arizona sunshine-coffee is great too. John was a fabulous waiter as well. read more

Yikes! This started out so-so ok, but has devolved into truly awful joint of low quality foods cooked poorly and served badly. It's just grease, and as as I said, super low quality foods. I went yesterday and had breakfast. Tell me, is cooking eggs over easy difficult? Seems so there; mine were as hard as a rock and swimming in oil. There was almost no visible yellow yolk in the eggs and they were so tough I had to use a knife to cut them. God! Awful! Honest it was pure garbage. I wish it wasn't so, but alas, it is. God Awful. read more

I had breakfast here today for the 1st time in a long time and the food was tasty and the service spot on. To my surprise & delight, Nicole and Shelia were both waiting tables. I tried their Rueben benedict and I enjoyed it and took 1/2 home. I couldn't resist the huge almond bear claw. I'll return as their new menu lists some interesting items + they now offer daily specials. read more

Great selection, service! Reasonable prices. Weekly specials available. Everything is cooked to your specifications.

Food was ok, service not so much, we had to ask for a coffee refill, we were not even given a refill on our water, nor were we asked how the food was or was there anything else we could get you, very, very poor overall experience. There are way too many restaurants in the area to go to that give 10 time's the service. Go somewhere else for breakfast. read more

My husband and I ate here in April 2025 and we both had the worst diarrhea and vomiting. We both ordered a breakfast with sausage and then we're living in the bathroom the next 2 days. We will never eat here again. read more

Great service, food, and reasonable prices. One of the best places to eat breakfast in Green Valley.

Sunday mornings are busy but we were seated fairly quickly. Waitress was attentive but the kitchen was slow.

I love their baked goods! Giant bear claws and melt in your mouth croissants! My favorite is their breakfast sandwich on a light fluffy croissant! Clean, modern space, very friendly staff an a few steps away from my favorite book store!! read more

Decided to give Madera Sunrise another try. We were pleasantly surprised, not only with the service, but the food. Our waitress couldn't have been any more pleasant and accommodating. Will definitely be back. So happy that this was such a positive experience since GV doesn't have many good breakfast spots. read more

It's back! And better! And Without attitudes- I'm so happy to be eating at the old - old Chicago and /or the Patriot Kitchen. The service was great and on-point, food delicious and hot! The Breakfast sandwich was even better than I remembered and mom loved her San Diego Wrap. Nicole and Ashlee are still running the front, I Recognize the cook with bandanna, but don't know his name. Thank you Thank you thank you! Mark is GONE read more

Food is OK, but the service attitude leaves a bit to be desired. Definitely not the most welcoming place to spend my money.

This used to be the patriot cafe and then the new owners bought it. They kept all the great dishes that made it such great cafe and, then, improved it. A lot. Lunchtime is my new absolute favorite time to go but.. I usually go for breakfast and it is my favorite place to go. Everything is always fresh, well made, tasty. All of The omelets or any of the eggs Benedict are terrific. The steak and eggs or chops and eggs are most filling. The biscuits and gravy is the fastest way i know of to get food coma, so good!! I also love way they make their grits. Lunch is the best. Menu is great, full of options for anyone: many salads, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, burgers, impossible burgers, sides of all kinds (no fries, tho), and in my opinion the best burgers in GV/S. Not overseasoned, big patty, nicely grilled to perfection, fresh toppings, great cheese, and toasted buns from heaven. The philly cheesesteak is awesome too. Just come and try it! Come again and try something different. Repeat endlessly. read more

The food is always great and there is not another restaurant that compares to the top service the girls provide there. Since taking it over they have painted and changed it over very nicely. Best spot for breakfast in Green Valley. read more

Menu has changed so don't look at the earlier photo of it in the reviews. The owner raised prices as soon as he took over, which drove away some loyal, year-round customers. I realized Monday (03/06/23) that the menu and hours have changed. Every "lunch place" in Green Valley is open until at least 2:00. These guys are closing at 1:30 now. Used to be able to order breakfast until 1:00. Now it's noon. One side of the seating area has been repainted and "upgraded" but the other side needs tons of help. On top of all of the above, prices have gone up again! And...tax is no longer included in the price. So now you're paying more for food plus another 6.1%. Breakfast is unpredictable. Sometimes okay sometimes yuck. They no longer use top of the line lunch meat (Boar's Head). Plus, even after cooking, there's no way the smash burgers started out as 8 ounces. They added the very unhealthy Impossible Meat to the Veggie Wrap. The main ingredient in the fake stuff is genetically modified soy. It also contains Heme. The FDA almost pulled it because it contains the main ingredient from the highly toxic carcinogen in the weed killer Roundup. What's wrong with having a very healthy veggie wrap made solely of fresh vegetables? For some inexplicable reason, Ashlea, the best and most professional employee, is no longer there. I never had to ask her for a coffee or water refill. And she always checked in to ask if you needed anything. The current staff ignores you once the food is delivered. Last comment: I feel like I'm back in school. Who wants to eat their lunch off of a tray??? read more

Great menus great service friendly convenient fun place to go fast response to requests. JP

A great local place that took over the space of the Old Chicago Deli

What a wonderful experience. The food is ample, delicious, and served with a smile. Always ask for the Big Spoon when you order the Blueberry Buckle. read more

It was, in my mind, mediocre when it was Chicago Deli. Rebranding as Madera Sunrise Cafe did not change anything. A blueberry buttermilk pancake was very good. Valencia French Toast (cinnamon swirl with a hint of orange) was flavorless and rubbery. A full order is two slices of bread. Server was pleasant although she did not ask about the virtually untouched french toast. Coffee was refilled but the diet coke glass sat empty from mid-meal until we left. Probably wont be back. read more

Typical diner food does very well: they even seasoned the fried eggs. Spacious facility with a friendly attentive staff.

Service was terribly slow. Food was mediocre skimpy meat on sandwich. Chicken berry salad was good lettuce fresh chicken breast was good pecans were very stale read more

Everyone was friendly. The service took pretty long but I understood cause it looked like only one person was both serving and taking orders. I planned on getting a pastry before I left. I got steak and eggs. The steak was not prepared well at all, no seasoning at all, way too much grissle to the point I couldn't really enjoy the meal. I didn't even want the pastry at the end, I just wanted to leave. read more

Great food everything is fresh and well done. The staff is efficient and friendly. If you have not tried this restaurant for breakfast or lunch or missing out. Gave them a try. You will their choice of eggs Benedict done their way read more

Service was friendly however not professional. Ordered French dip sandwich. The menu did not state served with Swiss cheese. The sandwich was not served plan it was served with Swiss cheese. The waitress brought the food to the table with the check and never returned. Another waitress did come by to refill drinks but between the two waitress they never did ask how the meal was. The meat was tough and difficult to chew. I do not order food with cheese and would have not ordered this item if I had known it had cheese. I took a few bites but was unwilling to eat this sandwich. I placed the sandwich uneaten in the au jus bowl. The second waitress took my plate and bowl but never asked how was everything or ever questioned why a whole uneaten sandwich was being thrown away. Last chance at redemption was paying the bill. I walked towards the exit with the cash register and my orginal waitress was collecting payment. She did not ask how was everything. She just informed me of the total and asked if I wanted a tip applied. I told her no tip, paid and left. I will not return. Very disappointed. read more

First time at the Cafe. Delicious wrap served with a side of your choice as well as a pickle spear. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meal. Staff was friendly and efficient. Definitely would return read more

The food (breakfast) is very good and the staff is pleasant. Not sure why it took 1 hour and 5 minutes after we ordered to bring us our food

We were dually impressed with Madera Sunrise Cafe! Our breakfasts were filling, reasonably priced, and yummy. Three days later, and I am still drooling over that avocado toast. The friendly and efficient staff kept checking on us even though the restaurant was busy. We will definitely be back! read more

Food is ok. Got charged 5 dollars for a kid's chocolate milk but, the service is good.
