Great experience with the short time they have been opened. Got our food quick. Gravy on biscuits was a little cold but over all visit was good. Staff was friendly too. Very nice bathroom I might add. read more

DO NOT COME ON GAME DAY WEEKENDS This restaurant has great food and it hurts to write this review, but we had a terrible experience on a Sunday morning after a clemson game. They make no effort to manage wait times effectively. The money lost from frustrated customers that left before ordering was far outweighed by the disappointing ones who stayed. A successful business like this should take advantage of the opportunity to create more business instead of driving it away. To offer constructive criticism, sunny side cafe should offer a consolidated menu to increase table turnover, utilize basic table forecasting technology such as excel or apps like nowait.

Food was excellent. Portions for breakfast not too big. Service was slow. Otherwise would be 5 stars.

We had a great Saturday morning breakfast here. Sitting outside on their patio in February made it even better. Portion sizes were generous, and the grits were amazing. The atmosphere added to our enjoyable visit to see Clemson U. read more

We had an amazingly wonderful brunch here! The staff were nice and kind, the interior is decorated in a friendly farm way and the food was delicious! All the stars on Yelp are well deserved! read more

Fast service, good food, kind staff! Great place to grab breakfast!

Stopped in to try the breakfast. I had eggs,sausage, grits and toast. It was all well prepared, hot and delicious. The tables were well spaced and the coffee was hot! read more

I will start with the obvious...The Host should NOT be in the service industry!! He is extremely rude, does not seat people in the order of list and will make you wait when there are several empty tables. Not worth the mediocre glorified deli food that arrives cold with an attitude to your table. The tables are always sticky from not being cleaned and bathrooms are so dirty that I walked away. We will not return to the 'not so' Sunny Side Cafe. Rudeness is not a good quality to have represented as your first impression to paying customers. read more

Great breakfast place...then again it's the only non chain breakfast place in Clemson besides Pot Belly Deli. I love their omelettes and specials. It gets really crowded on the weekends especially during the school year so make sure to plan ahead and make reservation. read more

Me and my husband got togo order from there a few weeks ago and were left extremely unsatisfied. We usually go here for Sunday brunch but this particular visit was enough for us to not return. We ordered a veggie sausage biscuit, a regular sausage biscuit, and French toast meal. Both of us agreed our food tasted funny, and shortly after we both became sick. I'd encourage the people in the back to check their eggs and milk. read more

Clemson really needed a restaurant like this. Very good food. You don't always have to drive to Asheville or Greenville to get a unique breakfast. Only negative is that it's so good, there is usually a big line! read more

Best food I've had in Clemson (out of 5 places as Jan 16).

This is such a fun place to go to for breakfast! The wait is always a little long on the weekend but it's because it's so popular. Great staff and amazing food! read more

Very nice! Varied menu, reasonable pricing. I wish they were open during the evening.

Food is really good. The service is still poor. I've been twice now. The second time was better, but still not as good as its food.

My husband and I had brunch here this morning. It was a very place but we were seated immediately. The food was AWESOME. The ingredients are locally grown and they use clean meat which I thought was great. The service was very good as well. Very cool experience with a unique vegetarian/vegan friendly menu! read more

so many vegan options! i had the raspberry lime tempeh club and, though it was a little dry, it was yummy (i probably wouldn't get it again). the side broccoli salad was SO GOOD and the service was great too. very inviting and friendly place! read more

I loooove SunnySide ! i eat here frequently and I tell anyone who ask about a good breakfast/ lunch place to visit SunnySide. Anytime I have family in town they always ask to go to SunnySide. If you do happen to be with the after church crowd you might end up waiting a little bit longer or during exam week I have seen it get pretty packed, but it is worth the wait. read more

Awesome breakfast and lunch. The breakfast is served all day and the grits are amazing. The lunches are also wonderful. The pesto quesadilla is a fave, as well as the tarragon chicken salad. This is my go-to place, and I bring my out of town friends here often!! read more

Be warned, this place gets packed. Speed of service is a little slow but the good was pretty good. I had the sunny side breakfast which consists of eggs, choice of meat, choice of bread, and grits/or French fries. Decent sized portions. I'd definitely return and try their lunch menu. read more

My favorite place in Clemson! The staff is so nice and the food is always amazing! I'm more of a lunch fan than a breakfast fan so I've had nearly every item off the lunch menu and they have all been great. Everything I have had from the breakfast menu is awesome too! I wish they were open through dinner too! Everyone should try this place! read more

Delicious food, great choices, good service, reasonable prices and nice atmosphere... Convenient. What else could you want. Try it, I'm sure you will be like it. read more

Best place to grab breakfast in Clemson! Prices are good and the food is amazing. I personally recommend any of their croissants.

Great place! Food was fresh, delicious and delivered quickly. I left my water bottle and the waitress came out into the parking lot to bring it back to me before we left. Will definitely return for the good food and the friendly service! read more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in Clemson. I go there weekly because I just can't help it. All of the food is absolutely FANTASTIC. I have been going there since they opened (at the old location) and have never had bad service. Even when they are crazy packed the wait is still very reasonable. Can not recommend enough!!! read more

Excellent breakfast fare! They have reopened in their great new location! The wife and I went for breakfast for the first time this past week and it was so tasty she wanted to go back the next day. Would definitely recommend the biscuits and the french toast. Will definitely be back. read more

We decided to try this cafe out on Father's Day. The building itself is quite appealing. The initial wait for brunch was about 30-35 minutes which isn't too bad compared to most places on a holiday. We were seated quickly but waited another maybe 25 minutes to get our food. Overall, I give the food 5 stars. They got all of our orders right and they had several options for everyone. I highly recommend this restaurant but beware of a wait. read more

The restaurant has moved, but the crowded, noisy dining room and slow service are the same. It took 10 minutes after we ordered for our coffee to arrive and 50 minutes for our breakfast. One plate was hot and the other one was lukewarm. The same person who was bussing tables was also running food. Extremely understaffed. We wanted to give it another chance, and now we know it's not for us. read more

I ate here twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times I had great service and great food. For lunch I had the Reuben with fries as the side, it was great. For breakfast it was a Benedict that they make with fried eggs. It was done perfectly. The breakfast potatoes had a good crisp on the outside, soft in the middle, and seasoned just right. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast Sunday morning. Arrived about 8 and had no problem getting a seat but filled up guide. Cheese grits and sausage were great read more

Saturday morning breakfast for family of four, great portions at an affordable price. Walked in at 9am with no wait. Frida Diego Omelet: savory jalapeño and chorizo full of flavor but not too spicy for those who don't appreciate heat (I love spicy food) their grits are creamy and so soothing to the appetite; pimento cheese quesadilla: creamy and smooth southern style; polenta cakes: amazing corn based pancakes, unlike traditional pancakes you'll find these delicate and slightly less sweet and filling; Miami breakfast sub: something you'll find on man vs. food, an incredibly large saucy Cuban sandwich layered with eggs, pulled pork, sour cream and a guacamole aeoli that's crafted especially for the hungry eater. Friendly service and bright atmosphere this is a must stop for the seasoned tiger that has eaten at all the traditional local diners. Make this your next stop and tiger tradition, you'll love it! Tell your friends! read more

The service is great every time we come here. The coffee is strong and perky. The Cuban sandwich is a winner. Absolute winner. Staff are attentive and aim to please, and I have never seen this place slow yet except when it's closed. Very affordable, good atmosphere; well lit well decorated adequately furnished. The kind of place you'd do well to try at least once if not more. read more

LOVE this place - have had both breakfast and lunch and all entrees were fabulous. Will be visiting this place again and again for sure!

The best place on campus for breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and very charming! Highly recommend the shrimp and grits

This place has great food, but the service was awful. My food came out ten minutes before my partner's food and they never even apologized. Our waiter never came back to check on us after she finally brought his food. Even after we finished we waited very long to receive our check. Good food but disappointed in service read more

I don't review very often, but I was compelled to after eating breakfast at Sunnyside Cafe this morning. They have one of the most interesting menus I have seen in a long time with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. I had the Sweet Fried Grit Patties and I can't get over how good everything on the plate was. My server was very nice and attentive, and even though the place was packed, my food came out of the kitchen quickly. I can't wait to go back and I hope to try everything on the menu. read more

Very good food, extensive breakfast and lunch menu, good service! A place I wish clemson had had when I was here but I'm glad they're here now! Uses local ingredients when possible (has a long list on the menu of who they use) read more

Solid breakfast! The breakfast potatoes where a disappointment. Diced red potatoes with no spice or taste. Underwhelming. We also had a grilled cheese with jam. Wife used the term exceptional! This was a worthy stop . read more

Had breakfast here with my mother for my 18th birthday , it was amazing . We loved the food , everything tasted fresh and was presented beautifully. Definitely will return. A little bit pricey but always , always worth it ! read more

Tried this for the first time today, quite good. I had The Appalachian, enough food for two people. The eggs were fluffy and the potatoes were very good. Will definitely be back. Come early, or you will have to wait. read more
