Trying a new breakfast spot. Will have to try some French toast
Kevin D.

Better experience, still needs just a little polish. Wandering around on an early Tuesday, ended up back here. So decided to try again. The server/cook was jamming to some rock in the back. He starts me off with a coffee and I look through the menu. Didn't have any preference, so I asked the cook to cook me up whatever he wants to make me. 5 seconds later, he comes out with a single slice of white bread on a plate. This guy...I like. He goes back into the kitchen and whips me up what he was going to make himself for lunch. A ham, egg, and cheese on a croissant with some loaded breakfast tots with some Polynesian sauce. It looked really good, so i was very happy with the gamble. I'm terms of a sandwich, it's really good. The croissant is soft and buttery, grilled slightly but not overly charred. The Cheddar cheese was mild but flavorful, didn't overpower the dish and gave it a nice cheesy sharpness. The egg was hard cooked, so it was solid but a little too form for my liking. The ham was grilled and not overcooked. But the dish needed some seasoning. Some salt or some butter to elevate the flavors a little bit. It's well composed, but needed something more to punctuate the flavors. Something to bump up the umami if the ham and cut through the richness of the cheese. The loaded tater tots needed a little longer in the grease, they were a little cold in the middle. But I informed the cook of this and he offered to refire them for me. I declined, couldn't eat it all. The polynesian sauce was very close to chik fil a's version. It reminded me a bit if thousand island dressing with a little more sugar. Pretty good, but very sweet. Price cane out to 18, which was not too bad for a random order. Overall, I'm much more pleased this time around. Still not trek-worthy, but a very solid option for the area

Fore- Chicken Fried Steak, Hash Browns, Grilled Biscuit, Soft Scrambled Eggs with a side of Country Bacon. Aft- Eggs Benedict and Home Fries

Have lived in the area for 18 years and ate breakfast here recently for the first time. It was a recommendation through a Facebook posting comment. I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. We arrived to find a waiting list, we showed up mid Saturday morning, so no surprise. No place to stand or wait for more than 4 people and it was occupied. We were informed they will text us when ready. The car was the perfect place to wait on a cold, drizzly morning. Wait time was minimal. Service by rendered by a young but well-seasoned and friendly staff. I was impressed with how well the waitresses worked together to know when and how to cover each other's tables and customers. Menu had an array of comfort-inviting dishes. Homemade corned beef hash was an option, that will be my next trip. I ordered chicken fried steak, gravy and biscuits, hash browns with soft scrambled eggs with a side of the extra thick country bacon. The hash browns are what I came to try, I was not disappointed, almost as good as Waffle House. A good breakfast eatery knows how to do soft scrambled eggs, many don't, ending up with mostly overcooked eggs. SH did mine perfectly. My wife ordered eggs Benedict with home fries, she said the eggs and hollandaise was prepared to perfection. There are many things I want to try from their menu, I will certainly be back here, I can't wait to try their corned beef hash. Where I live in Ellington, this is conveniently located in my backyard. I have driven by it hundreds of times and never gave it a thought it never looked like much from the outside. I need to stop judging places by their covers. (SMH, can't believe I just discovered this place 18 years later)

menu for breakfast and lunch

Driving by and stopped in for an impromptu brunch. Initially the wait was to be 10 minutes but we were seat after about 5. I ordered the western omelet which comes with home fries and toast. She had the 2 egg sandwich with sausage. Both entrees were out in minimal time and pretty good. The server was attentive and a pleasure to have helping us. The atmosphere is very small town and comfortable. I nice spot in the country part of the area.

We love to go out for breakfast and it's always wonderful to find a new place to add to our list. Sunny House will definitely be returned to! It's right on Route 5 and across the street from East Windsor High. Nice, clean comfortable sit down restaurant. Good service. Coffee was good/strong- the way I like it. I had cheese omelette with a mix of cheddar & American. Perhaps because I was extra hungry, it was really delicious. Paid additional $1.50 for fruit ( than potatoes) - very good.

Country fried steak , a biscuit , potatoes and two eggs cooked to perfection.

I really loved this place ! It was our first time here, my husband and I , for a late breakfast... 1 pm . Very friendly staff and we were seated right away. We got our coffee . And then placed our order. I liked their menu options for breakfast , a little bit of everything. They had 3 specials for the day, which I like. And I looked at the lunch menu for another day , and I really liked what they had to offer . I can't wait to go back!

two eggs, bacon & rye toast

OK. We needed to find a breakfast joint in Windsor where we were meeting some friends from MA. I am not familiar with the area so of course, I checked Yelp. Sunny House came up with great reviews and a simple breakfast menu. I went in with no expectations, just to meet some friends for breakfast and would get something simple like eggs. I decided on the two eggs (over easy) and bacon which came with toast and home fries. I was oddly blown away. With simple breakfast food you don't expect much tbh. I don't know what it was, but the bacon had such a distinct flavor. Like it was fried. I can't put my finger on it but it was amazing! The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the home fries were nice and charred. Only regret is I didn't ask for hot sauce! Everyone else in our group felt the same way about their meals. The staff was friendly and they were very generous with the coffee refills (I think my husband had 4 cups in total). If we ever find ourselves back up north, we'll be back!

Happy with this place! We showed up around 8:30AM and were pleasantly surprised that there was plenty of parking and that we were able to be seated right away. Lots of choices for the breakfast and lunch menu. I had the steak and cheese omelet with home fries and sourdough toast. The home fries were cooked with onions that were almost caramelized and had a light French onion flavor to them. Definitely my favorite home fries yet. The decaf coffee was very good here. The place is cute, too. It's clean and has a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting my mom.

Philly steak omelette with extra steak. If you're keto this will work(sans the potatoes and toast)! I ordered it with a side of avocado
Maria K.

Excellent experience. A bit of a wait on a Sunday morning but great system. They take your number down and text you when table is ready. The girls are extremely efficient and on top of their patrons. Service was 10/10! Great little family diner! Highly recommend!!

Hot Cakes - Pancake with Bacon and Peanut Butter

This is a nondescript yet charming place staffed by very friendly folk, good for breakfast or…read morelunch. Upon entering, we were greeted, seated, and given coffee almost immediately (they have very nice cups with their logo them). Breakfast covers all the basics, and as you might expect from their name, they have a fairly large selection of pancakes and french toasts. The pancakes are quite large, and the flavored ones are often (but not always) based on the toppings. We were surprised not to see a breakfast combo on the menu, so we asked our waitress. She indicated that there was indeed a combo, their "Hungry Man/Woman" plate, which featured 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon one sausage patty, home fries and a choice of 1 pancake (Hungry Man) or piece of French Toast (Hungry Woman). Our Hungry Man orders came out very quickly, but even so our coffee cups were refilled twice before that! This was good, if somewhat basic, fare, though I'm sure the specialty pancakes, omelets, benedicts and french toasts have some interesting flavors. Besides refills, we were cheerfully checked on frequently. Locals know the value here, as there were numerous obvious regulars having breakfast and coffee at the counter.

Still really great bread, but lacking in presentation and flavors of other items…read more I came back here to try them again. Has been a while since I've been here, and wanted to make sure they were still good. The server I got was a little new, so she didn't have a good cadence to ordering or assisting. but with a little coaching from myself and her senior I was able to get proper seating and get my order placed. The order wasn't translated correctly to the kitchen though, and I ended up getting items that were cooked correctly but literally placed on the plate with wanton abandon. Feeling coy, I decided to take it in my own hands and properly plate my own breakfast. I cut the bread on a diagonal, layer the pieces, drizzle some syrup, and take some pics. Same with the pancake, smear some peanut butter and crumble the bacon (they didn't have banana, so I couldn't do a full elvis pancake) The bread is still really good! The cinnamon swirl bread was soaked well and had a great cinnamon flavor. the cook of the french toast was just right, and it was custardy and flavorful. The pancake was a little lackluster, the peanut butter was cheap and unroasted, so it didn't have a strong peanut butter flavor. the bacon was crispy and salty, which helped a bit. but the peanut butter needed a good roast before being ground up. The order was also a little pricy for what you get, coming up to about 25 bucks for a pancake and two french toast. The add-ons made this breakfast a little too expensive for the quality. Presentation aside, the food was good overall. There was some issues in ordering and with the quality that I got, but the bread's still good and the food's still pretty tasty. So a little bit of a downgrade, but still good overall. Worth a shot if you're in the area

Mon to Sat they open at 5am. I was only 10 minutes away from 6 but I figured they look like a place I'd want to eat at anyway and fate brought me to this awesome establishment. Upon entering it's not too bright and not too dark especially for this hour. The place looks immaculately clean. It's your typical diner feel just a little more modernish with the color scheme inside. Two breakfast bars and the rest booths and tables. Round stools at the bar for seating. The waitress greeted me and I just sat at the breakfast bar. I got a a coffee to start, nice med - dark roast. Not burnt and tasted freshly made, good quality Java to wake you up. Better than Dunkin could offer lol. For my breakfast I decided on the Crazy Good Hash and a side of sausage (they offer links or patties, I love my patties so that's what I chose). First bite was just amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect .. I low key was just thinking it would be the stuff from a can like other diners use but no.. you will not get that here. It was legit fresh corned beef... griddled with hashed potatoes .. it was light and flavorful, crispy crust and soft interior. Not drowning in sodium like the can stuff. The corned beef really just melted in your mouth, so juicy and tender just like a properly cooked corned beef should taste. It was just amazing and I was completely blown away. Paired together with high quality eggs and perfectly toasted with butter toast, there was not one bite left. I couldn't stop eating it. I was almost sad with my last bite .. but I was about to explode anyway since it was a very generous portion. I'm just a glutton when it comes to good savory foods. The sausage patties were great too .. nice crispy and juicy, good flavor profile, not herby like some .. I don't like those but these were great. Please come give this place a try and go for the Crazy Good Hash and Eggs. You won't regret it.

The biscuits with sausage gravy are soooo good. You also get incredible value on the sides, like a $5 dollar side of bacon that comes with six full pieces, which is practically unheard of these days. The pancakes are massive for $4 dollars, and you can add 2 toppings for just a $1.50 extra. The potatoes were well seasoned and filling, though they had a unique flavor profile that was not totally my preference. (May have been the type of potato or the skin on it) Overall, everything was well seasoned, incredibly filling, and affordable. I will definitely be back!

Standard diner fare, cheap but good…read more Went to a breakfast spot in this area recently and saw this one along my route. Decided to come by and give this place a fair shake as well. The place was packed when I got there, lots of locals all enjoying their company and their dishes. Got a seat at the counter right away, grabbed a menu and checked through their offerings. Decided on French toast with real maple syrup and biscuits and gravy. Food came out quick especially with the crowd. Everything was cooked, the French toast was okay. Not soaked enough, toasted with butter but not a lot of cinnamon in the dredge. Not great, but very functional. The biscuits and gravy were very much a northern take on the southern classic. Grands biscuits grilled on the flat top with grey goopy gravy on top. Very lackluster. The staff was very friendly, and the price was very cheap. Even with the golden delicious branded syrup upcharge the bill was only 12 dollars. Which is very affordable given the quality was not so great. As a generic diner, it does basic dishes well enough. There's not a ton of breakfast spots around, so it does well as that local greasy spoon. Doesn't need to be fancy, cause it's one of the few places in town and they are serviceable. I wouldn't drop by on my travels, but if you need cheap eats then this place will fit the bill

We were on vacation from Naples, Florida seeing family and friends in 5 states. driving on the back…read moreroads from Massachusetts to Rhode Island last Sunday morning 5/6. Let me tell you, while making a turn, quickly noticed the place and stopped. Saw the lighted OPEN sign. THE place is GREAT. A local fave I assume. The waitress was so very nice and personable. The whole time there felt great. Only 5 others there and us. The server and the few people we eventually met there were so nice. BTW, Have a great ending to this story but for now, ordered the IRISH QUESADILLA and my wife had an Omelette. (no picture of omelette sorry) but trust me, whichever one you get, you'll enjoy. I wanted lightly fried eggs and home fries instead of the scrambled and fries listed on the menu. Am I glad. The eggs were great and the home fries SPECTACULAR. I love corned beef hash and having it in a quesadilla this first time was exactly how I'd like it but may never see unless I asked for it and I will here in Florida. Didn't want this meal to end. My wife liked her omelette a lot also with those home fries and agreed. Perfect! And a bottomless cup of great coffee. We occasionally talked the three people who were seated near us and talked about everything. Laughed mostly and it was quite enjoyable. After their meals, they left and we then had just asked for our check. The waitress said it's been taken care of! What?? I ran out and hoped I'd see them and thank them. I did and they were just getting in their SUV. I thank them and for their company also. What they did we also did in Florida. It's called "Pay Forward". Wasn't familiar with it. A few years ago someone here in Naples bought US a breakfast and wanted to remain anonymous. Wow! What a treat. We looked the restaurant and thanked them loudly. The following year we anonymously paid this couples check. We're seniors and most people in our breakfast place were. We paid their check before it ended. (Ahead of time before they got it) also the tip. It felt good on both sides of this. Do it at least once and you'll feel good about it. And if ever in Windsor, CT. and driving aimlessly, put this address in your phone. You won't be disappointed. EnJOY!

Surprisingly well done tacos, nice staff, little slow…read more Came here on a whim, looking for a new breakfast place to try. This one's a bit further than I normally trek, but decided to try them anyways. Got here early and the place was quiet. The plaza is relatively new and this was the only non-chain I could find there. Wandering in, had the front end lady greet me. Debated on the French toast, but decided to buck the trend and try their tacos. Also ordered a latte, which took a few minutes to make. Coffee is lavazaa which is okay coffee. Coffee wasn't too strong but it also lacked any flavor beyond milk. The tacos did take about 15 minutes to make, and I appreciate the attention but it did takes while to come out. The tacos were actually pretty good! The delay was because they did a heavy burned cheese layer on the tortilla. The avocado creama, creamy eggs, spicy homemade chorizo, and pickled onion lead to a very well balanced and well seasoned bite. Plus they were huge in size but every bite offered a similar experience. If I had to be a stickler, there was a lot of potatoes on each taco. Filler is fine, but I did notice the amount. As a taco, it's a very solid contender to one of the better tacos I've had in ct. the quality is there, the quantity is plentiful, and the price is right. If I only got the tacos, and I was warned that it would be a few minutes to make sure they came out right, then it would be a five-star taco. Because the coffee is okay and there was a bit of a wait, I did dock a star because of it. It's a great place for a local breakfast and lunch spot. So long as you go in knowing that it might take a little bit to get your order then the wait is worth it. The vibe is chill, the food is good to great, and the staff are very nice.
