Solid breakfast place. Decent Coffee. Low key working class vibe with two hardworking employees that deserve your business. No fuss, no frills, just good food from a diners grill! Prices are super reasonable, and the house pico de gallo is excellent. Skip the chain restaurants. Think local, act local, support local. Will be back next time I land in Fresno. read more

​If you're looking for a super satisfying, classic breakfast experience, this is absolutely the spot! ​The vibe here is chill and welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you are greeted instantly upon arrival. ​I ordered the French Toast Breakfast, which came with my choice of bacon, scrambled eggs, and orange juice. The eggs were surprisingly fluffy, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the French toast was well-cooked, not overly sugary or mushy. My friend tried the Bagel Sausage Sandwich and said it was fresh, with a super tasty sausage, making it an overall fulfilling sandwich. ​Side-note: The seating area is a bit small, but honestly, it didn't impact the great service or food quality at all. read more

My wife and I love this place! Lupe and his staff are always welcoming and courteous. The food is fantastic-always fresh and delicious. Our favorites are the breakfast sandwiches and burritos, biscuits and gravy, as well as their grilled basa plate. We've never had a meal we didn't enjoy at Sunnyside Diner! read more

We ordered and paid our food at the register. The restaurant was a bit small. We ordered the biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, and pancakes and eggs. The biscuits and gravy were okay. It has a lot of butter and bits of bacon which I'm not used to. My son said the breakfast burrito was the best he has. read more

What's not to love about this place? The portions are huge. The food comes out fast and fresh and the service is always great.

Sandwich was simple and easy. The chef looked like he owns the place. He was very attentive to what I ordered and how to prepare the food to my preference. It had an old school type of fast food type of vibe without it being fast food type of food. Used fresh eggs and toasted the bread. I would go again for a sandwich. The coffee was simple diner type but it wasn't gross. It tasted fresh. read more

Sunnyside Diner - Breakfast Sandwich - American Near Me - Fresno, California

The Sunnyside Diner is hands-down the best spot in South Fresno if you want quality food and great prices. Everything tastes homemade. The hamburgers are just like the burgers you make at home, and the omelettes are on another level. You can get a tri-tip omelette loaded with all the fixings, a carne asada omelette, or even a ground beef omelette that's honestly one of the best I've had. The dinners are great, and the clam chowder is excellent and extra clammy, just the way it should be. The breakfast burritos are awesome and at a great price, nice and large too. I can't say enough good things about this place. The customer service is always excellent. read more

We stopped here on our way home from visiting our nephew in Fresno, looking for a simple American breakfast. After seeing it on Yelp, we decided to give it a try, and we're glad we did. We ordered the two eggs with hashbrowns, the Spanish omelet, and biscuits with gravy. The hashbrowns stood out; crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the potato flavor still shining through. The biscuits and gravy were excellent; the gravy paired perfectly with the soft, moist biscuits, which weren't dry at all. The eggs and omelet were flavorful and cooked just right. The dining area is simple and unassuming, and honestly doesn't reflect how good the food is. The service was welcoming, helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. read more

My husband picked up dinner to go. I was too hungry to take pics. But I had the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes, veggies & garlic bread. Hubby had Basa with shrimp, scallops, rice pilaf & veggies. Also had a cup of clam chowder. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!! read more

This is one of those little hidden gems that you don't always hear about. Why, who knows! But, if you haven't been it's well worth checking out. I've been here numerous times over the years & the food is always good, decent little set up & the owner is also friendly. It is a small spot with I think 5-6 tables, so seating is definitely limited. All in all: Good food, friendly service, but seating is very limited. However, it's always good to support our local small business! read more

Wow this place caught me off guard. I was looking for a cute diner to get breakfast and there's not much in Fresno. We "settled" on this one. When we got there, who I believe is the owner, greeted us immediately and told us about their menu and specials. The portions are perfect size and left us completely content. My pancake platter was fluffy and full of flavor. My partners burrito had the perfect proportions of food inside. Will definitely be coming back when I come into town again! read more

Sunnyside Diner... what a gem this place is! Came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, and I was so glad I did.Upon entering, I was greeted and asked if it was my first time there, and it was. Lupe showed me where the specials were and was so helpful. When ready, I went up to the counter and ordered. Though there are many comfort food options, I was also so pleased to see a Veggie Burger- it was very good, probably one of the best I've had at a restaurant-the patty was crisp on the outside, moist on the inside, and very flavorful. I asked for a side of rice, and I had a choice of Spanish Rice, Jasmine Rice, or Rice Pilaf. I had the Rice Pilaf. My food came out pretty fast and very fresh, and might I say, for a diner, their attention to presentation and detail was very commendable. The fries coming with the burger was awesome, I ate them so quickly, couldn't get enough! The decor is very simple, but has all you'd need, clean tables and chairs. While I ate there, two more groups came in and it was their first times too- they all received the same cordial & helpful greetings. Good food, good value, good service- I'm one happy camper, and I will return again! read more

I really hate to do this, but my last visit to Sunnyside Diner was such a disappointment that I won't be returning. The food was genuinely bad--especially the oatmeal, which was watery, undercooked, and honestly shouldn't have been served at all. On top of that, the service was frustrating. The man at the counter mumbled so much I couldn't understand a word he said, even after asking him to repeat himself. I've had better experiences here in the past, but this one left a really bad taste. read more

What a little gem! We were passing through this area on our way to Tollhouse and decided to stop for breakfast. Greeted immediately by the owner, we felt welcomed and appreciated. The meal was freshly prepared and excellent. I am picky about my bacon and this bacon was done to perfection. Not too crispy and not too chewy. We highly recommend this diner and will return when we are hungry and in the area again! read more

Sunnyside Diner - Menu as of December 2024. - American Near Me - Fresno, California

I came in there just for a fruit bowl and a cup of hot tea. No one seems to mind the small order. I appreciate that great place.

I saw Sunnyside Diner featured on Localish recently and came on a whim Saturday morning. The space was smaller than I thought but very cozy to see a full house with what looked like regulars. I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito and was told it would take 30 minutes-made sense because they were busy. I was okay waiting and hoped it would be worth the wait. The burrito was smaller than I'm used to, but I liked the crispy potatoes and even distribution of ingredients. Added hot sauce and it was perfect. Overall the price (less than $9) and portion were reasonable and left me satisfied. read more

What more can I say about this place? I mean it is really this amazing! In all honesty it's been a while since we have been here. But it has always been a go to place for my wife and I. I brag about Lupe's pancakes every where I go and I compare other places to this establishment. The reason is simple. Great food and good prices. The owner is an awesome person and I like supporting him when I can. This morning my wife and I spent the day together and we wanted breakfast. Since we were going through Fresno I figured Sunnyside Diner! Pancakes! So off we went. My wife had a French toast breakfast with bacon and eggs and of course I got pancakes with a side of bacon. Lupe uses quality bacon too. Not some thin sliced bacon either. But sliced nicely and cooked properly. Not greasy or undercooked. Great food prepared with love and care by a guy that enjoys what he is doing. That's how an establishment should be ran. If you haven't eaten here yet you should. read more

10/10 great people and great food! Breakfast burrito is always my go to. Usually a bit of a wait but they get the food out pretty fast.

The staff are always friendly and food great. The owner is super nice and cooks everything himself.

The food was a 5 out of 10, it was good but I've had better. The food portions were not big and the taste was mediocre. The service was good as far as the young man behind the counter who washed dishes, served the people, took orders. Cleaned up and brought us our food. The wait was about an hour which is ridiculously long. The sign says "Fresh food takes time to prepare." Which is true, but an hour? They definitely need at least one more person. The ambiance was good the small town Diner feeling was good. Would I come back? No, the menu choices are few and far between. I'd stick with Sandy's Junction in Clovis there it's a little more, but it's everything you would expect. read more

Love this father son diner. Friendly. Good breakfast specials and good hamburgers and tri tip burrito. Closed Sunday so come Saturday.

Mom and I came in for a late breakfast on 3-9-22, our first time. There was one person running orders and the cash register and one person working the kitchen - they keep a well oiled machine! Service at the counter is friendly; he could tell we'd never been in before and explained the small menu and that everything was available, even lunch and the clam chowder specials. Of course I had to order clam chowder to go. The space is open with several tables. While we were there, there were LOTS of to go orders picked up. Our food was good but not great or delicious. We may have just ordered the wrong things and lunch items sounded much more appetizing. I'll definitely come back to try those items. I thought the biscuits were stale and the gravy looked like it broke. It was edible. The over easy eggs and crispy hash browns were the stars. The clam chowder that I ate later had good flavor, but not enough clams - still a good value for the price. We will definitely be back because comfort food is always appreciated, service was great and it is very close to mom's house. read more

Good food. Great service. They prepared an order for 14 people with only two staff. Such hard workers! Support this local business!

Delicious. Hash browns had a golden crisp to them w/o being burnt. Pico de Gallo & pancakes on point. Owner & cook were super friendly. Place was clean & quick service. Don't let the strip mall discourage you from going. This place was great. If I lived in town this would be on rotation. Yum. read more

Food was great, cooked to my liking, seems like everything is fresh. Wasn't super greasy or something you would eat at a dennys or ihop. It's comfort food which is amazing. It is a small place and fills up fast, the kitchen is partially open so you can see them cooking your food which is super cool to me because you know it's done right. They have great communication with their employees and customers and seems everyone works well together. Loved the customer service. It might not be the prettiest place to eat at but once you sit down and have your food, and look at the people around you, it all comes together well. It's a clean environment and I would definitely go again read more

Husband and I stopped by for breakfast this morning. We were greeted as we entered and asked if it was our first time there we said yes and the lovely gentleman showed us the menu on the wall and the specials and said to order when we were ready. Clean, open space with about 6 tables and self serve fountain drinks. I ordered the chorizo break fast burrito with hash browns and my husband had the big sunny side burrito with sausage and French toast and oj. There were about parties ahead of us still waiting on their food when we arrived. There was only a cook and the man who greeted us at the register. We waited about 30 mins to our food which was understandable. When I go my breakfast burrito looking at it I thought I was very small but looks was definitely deceiving. The burrito was packed with so much flavors and very filling. It was delicious. Love how the outside of the tortilla was crunch and it was piping hot and fresh on the side. The chorizo was made well and the has hash brown inside was crunchy just the way I like it!! Over all my husband and I were satisfied. The service was great and food was amazing. We will definitely return. read more
