Hubby and I were looking for a simple breakfast place nearby during our stay in Wells. We spotted…read moreSunrise Diner and decided to give them a whirl. They were fairly busy, only a couple open tables. We grabbed one and our server brought over a couple menus. Hubby ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a hard roll. Both were very fresh. The bacon was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the melty white American cheese. I grabbed a blueberry muffin to go. We enjoyed it as a snack later that day. It was moist and delicious! Quick and delicious breakfast sandwiches, friendly service, affordable prices - what more do you need? Give them a try today!

The Sunrise is a tiny little old school lunch counter tucked into Speculator, which actually…read moredoesn't even serve lunch on weekends (just breakfast, closing at 12:30). The fare is pretty standard but it is unusually well-prepared for a short order place, and the staff could not be friendlier, even under an incredible crush of customers. The place does have outdoor picnic tables - the inside is a little dim due to lack of windows, if whimsical in the decor, which is mostly jokey signs of the 'unattended children will be given espresso and a free puppy' - well, kitten - variety. Just be forewarned the place does get super busy during the summer season, but it is still there in the other three seasons, unlike a number of other places, particularly in sparsely-inhabited Hamilton County. The place is much improved since our last visit, and one suspects there's been a change of management, so nota bene concerning earlier reviews.

Our orders were taken promptly and we specified for split checks between the families. The diner was busy and it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our breakfast meals. The food was cooked well, eggs were a touch on the cold side but everyone really enjoyed their meals. Waitress was all over the place and seemed to be waiting on half the tables so the service was a bit lacking there. Place was clean, bathrooms spotless. My only gripe is that both parties were hit with the automatic 18% gratuity for parties over 7+ which I felt a bit unfair given we asked for split checks. Ps, no waffles but they have plate sized pancakes.

The main thing to remember here is don't sit outside if you can help it…read more When we got there, there were just a few seats at the counter. It was a nice day so we chose one of the two outside tables. It was about 10:15 when we placed our order. We got our drinks reasonably quick. They came by to refresh coffee once. And then we didn't see them for about a half hour. I'm sure it was busy and they're a small staff. But we were sitting outside feeling neglected. Meanwhile I'm certain everyone inside got what they were needing. I believe it was a case of out of sight, out of mind. Close to 11 I got up from my seat and went inside to inquire. The exact answer I got from one of the waitstaff was "We'll bring it out when it's ready." Not one acknowledgment of the wait. Not even one apology for the wait. I'd say the total wait was 50 minutes. We got our food about 10 minutes after that. Perhaps they got the hint. And then we finally got some attention to our drinks. But yet again, not one acknowledgement of the wait. Now the saving grace. The food we got was actually excellent. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. Everyone was happy with their food. Yet again I had to go inside just to ask for the bill. I didn't even get a "how was everything?" Maybe they were afraid to ask? Let me be clear. I understand waiting for food. I understand the kitchen may be busy. I'm not unreasonable. But feeling neglected should never happen. They seemed nice enough and I don't think they did it on purpose. I honestly believe that once you sit outside here you become out of sight, out of mind. You become the last priority and everyone inside gets their undivided attention. If I'm ever back in town I would come back because the food was that good. But I know where I'm sitting next time.

Little falls has a breakfast place. Small cute little place. Not impressed at all. Not thinking…read morethat it's the goal to impress people though. Locals mostly I believe. If I was to rename this gem, I would rename it " The Wait and See ". Wait to sit. Wait for to place your order. Wait and wait for your food. Then wait and wait for your drink. Then see if they bring you something to drink. Hopefully you'll get it before or with your breakfast so you don't have to dry throat your meal. I wasn't that fortunate. Asked twice even. Anyway , I'm sure it was just this one time. I'm not sure if I want to wait 2 hours to have the same experience again. Good luck to you or hopefully you already had/ have a better experience.

I've only ever been to the ice cream window here, and I've got to say I'm impressed…read more They have Hershey's Ice Cream and soft serve, both of which are quite good, and nice tables to sit outside and enjoy whatever you get. All sorts of flavors, But what's seriously impressive was the service. I don't know how old the girl manning the window was, but we rolled up deep, with 15 people who all had wildly different orders. I wanted Moose Tracks in a sugar cone (objectively the best thing to get), but people wanted shakes, twists with sprinkles, chocolate ice cream (disgusting), full on sundaes, and more. This girl just calmly took our orders, and straight pumped out ice cream. It was wildly efficient, although she did seem to have a small child back there helping her. If I was running a business, I'd hire her in a second. And if I ever want more ice cream and I'm in the area, I'd also come back to King of the Frosties in a second too.
