Amazing food, and even better service. We are from out of town and found the perfect spot to stop and have breakfast. This area is lucky to have a breakfast spot this good! read more

Good burger. Nice char, juicy, plenty of fresh toppings. Breakfast is served until closing (2pm). Menus are on the table along with napkins, salt and pepper, sweeteners and creamer. Ketchup and their in-house made sauce were brought to the table after ordering. Lots of Elvis and Coke decor. Booth or counter seating. Two single restrooms at the back are clean. Parking in their private lot behind the building (near the gas station), on the side streets for free, or pay for street parking in front. Definitly a neighborhood favorite spot. Friendly staff. Good food. read more

Sunny is the wrong description for this diner! They were busy... I get it. I didn't mind the wait to order or to get my food, that's what busy does. But... rude, cranky, poor service is avoidable. The food was good (French Toast, Kielbasa, bacon and eggs). Asked for water.. never came, several walk by's and no coffee refill until I asked. In the end I'm the one feeling quilt y about a small tip. Personality didn't show up until time to pay and tip... what a surprise. All of this is too bad because the place is cool and has the old time feel of a diner. read more

This place has greasy food, that is basic . Even the coffee tasted off...OLD LADY HAS NOO PPL SKILLS NEVER AGAIN! Old lady needs more training on how to handle customers paying money for their basic food!!! read more

Amazing deal for the portion sizes. Service great, and our food was fresh and delicious. I had the Hawaiian omelette, which I've never seen offered anywhere else. It was really good. Only downside is pay to park across the street. Other than that, we had a nice breakfast here. read more

I ordered an early morning takeout breakfast for a large group and they did such an amazing job!! Not only was the food great but the presentation and the service as well. They made fresh cut fruit, breakfast sandwiches, box of coffee, and home fries. Everything was packaged and labeled. I was looking for an early morning spot to pick up at 6:30am and wasn't sure what to expect. They did such a fantastic job, I had to leave a review! read more

Never been here physically, but ordering Doordash from here I am never disappointed and often pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended!

Potatoes were undercooked and they forgot my cream cheese for my bagel .My husband eggs were over cooked and his order was wrong. I will say he should have looked at The food before he left. We normally go out or I would cook .Right now , I have been unable. So I am giving 3 stars otherwise I would be 1 or 2 . read more

Absolutely horrendous. Ordered food from here because it looked half way decent given the area but was sadly mistaken. The sausage patty was so cold as if it saw maybe 20 seconds in the microwave. read more

What a hidden gem! My son had a hockey game in a nearby rink on a Saturday morning so we came here with some other families for brunch after. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly staff and didn't wait more than a minute for coffee. The hot cocoa was to die for and the pancakes, veggie omelette, corned beef hash and bacon were all delicious (and came out super quick). The restaurant was also very clean. I will go back for sure! read more

Phenomenal diner. You walk in and are just met with unbelievable kindness and hospitality. Food was great! Service on point and everyone who works there is extremely accommodating. I grew up in Billerica and have never been here before but will certainly be returning for the gold sauce and the hot sauce. Get your ass down to sunny side for wonderful breakfast/brunch cause they have drinks too. read more

My husband and I went on a mini vaca to massachusetts. One of our bucket list must sees.

good brunch and the ambiance is perfect with the retro feel. service was good, I love when servers give off the vibe that they're experienced. read more

We came to the diner because we have three young kids and the hotel price for breakfast was insane. The food was good and certainly cheaper than what it would have been at the hotel, but the thing that brought us back the next day was the kindness of the staff. I believe it was the owner who came out to talk to the kids. He treated them like his own with tremendous kindness and gentleness. He sat with them, talked with them, and even gave them candy and a water bottle. I witnessed him also go around to other regulars and talk to them as if they were old friends. It is clear that the owner cares about the customers as much as he does about the food. read more

Menu prices are not accurate. The server advised that the prices had changed but minimized it by saying they hadn't gone up much. The truth is that the power breakfast went up nearly 60% in price! That is something I would have like to have been told prior to ordering. It is not an insignificant cost increase. $20 for breakfast is insane! Also, the bathroom is not heated and was very cold on this December morning. Besides that, the ceiling has water damage spots and my plastic water glass was missing chunks out of the rim. I don't expect much from a breakfast place but if they plan to charge $20 for a breakfast the facilities should match. The food itself is average diner food and the service was friendly. read more

We had such a lovely breakfast here! The waitresses were so friendly and kind, making my son who is 7 months old so happy. The food was standard diner fare. Nothing fancy but good all the same. read more

This was fine but pretty basic. It'll do if you want breakfast on the road, but nothing any better or different than you could easily make for yourself at home for a much cheaper cost. There is street parking which was easy for me to find but I don't know if that's always true. I got the 2, 2, 2 special which is 2 eggs, 2 meats (sausage or bacon) and 2 french toast or pancakes with coffee. It was a decent deal and was pretty filling for about $7. It was almost impossible to get any coffee though, partially the one waitress seemed busy and partially there seemed to be a lot of regulars and they got taken care of first. The 50s decor was fine, but a little kitschy. Their photo on their site shows nice white tables but ours were completely covered in ads, which is typical of a diner but still a bit tacky. It's apparently a diner from 1928 but looks like the 1950s. Did the constantly update decor for 20 years then thought "nah this decade is where it stops." It really advertises it's old but that doesn't add to the ambiance which looks basic/fake old anyway. So the food was fine, for a diner it was fine, they are usually pretty safe/standard/basic/serviceable and this fit into that, but no more. read more

I had the Italian omlet, it was really good I definitely will be back....can't wait till I go back, probably get me some griddle cakes

Lots of options on the menu including a gamut of sides. Friendly and genuily attentive staff. Coffee ok; could a bit stronger. The staff passed my highest of all diner tests...my coffee cup was always full! For sure an above average diner. read more

Sunnyside Diner - Corned Beef Hash Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lawrence, Massachusetts

I was charged 21$ for 4 egg whites, 2 regular eggs, and 3 French toast. That is an unbelievable price for 6 eggs and some bread.. Anyways the eggs were undercooked, the place is expensive. French toast wasn't too bad. read more

Everything about this restaurant was terrible. It was not my choice to go there. I called and asked if they have tables or do they only have booths and they told me they have tables and then the lady hung up on me. I had surgery and need a table. Once we walked in, there were no tables, just booths. The waitress did say I could move the booth back. And then we ordered. My mother got one egg with sausage links. I got a bacon and cheese omelette with home fries and an English muffin. My mother's dish looked like a half an egg and only one thick sausage. I could not eat my meal at all. The bacon was so fatty and hardly any cheese. The home fries were gross. The only good thing was the English muffin. I will never be back there again. And when I told the lady the food was not good, she just made a face and carried on. read more

Just got take out from there... was very very specific about how I wanted my bacon cooked ( asked for extra extra crispy( even asked for it to be fried ... and this is how it was cooked ..raw... and cooked into the sandwich so can't even eat it now... total waste of time and money.. would not go back or recommend it. read more

This diner is good, neighborhood is a bit sketchy. I had pancakes with mms which I really enjoyed. I had never seen that on a menu before. The people who worked here were friendly, though service was slow. The coffee was good. There's not really any parking besides for street parking so it is a little hard to find a spot. If I was in this area again I would come back and try some other menu items. read more

Food was great when we visited there about 3 months ago so we went back. So disappointed. Home fries were dry and old and just was not good at all. I guess we will not be going back unless they hire a new cook. Love the classic cars and the decor. read more

Yelp led us to this neighborhood institution when we were looking for a quick breakfast on a trip to Maine. Very family friendly - probably because it is family owned and run. Old fashioned diner and car pictures decorate the walls and local business ads decorate the table tops. Easy off street parking. Service was prompt and attentive. I had a scrambled egg, Kielbasa, home fries and an English muffin. DH had the same except he had corned beef hash instead of sausage. My food was okay -nothing exceptional but he really liked his hash. Less than $15 for both of us. We will come back if we're in the area. read more

Now, I already have my favorite diner, but decided to try others out. I don't food-e-gate, I treat all foods equal. But when I came to SunnySide Diner, I'm sorry to say it did not become my favorite diner. HOWEVER, whenever I am in the area, I am always more than happy to come here and grub; you can say it is my locative go-to place! The inside is very retro (it makes you feel like you're in the 50's, especially with the juke box chillin in the back). Coffee doesn't taste burnt, the butter is more real than IHOP, the pancakes are HUGE and delicious when you add chocolate chips into them (at an extra $2.00 though - CAUTION), and they give you three whole slices of toast to an order. NOT BADDD!! Definitely my go-to place whenever I am in Lawrence! read more

Haven't been there in years due to relocation but when I was a local, this joint was one of my top faves, the food and service was good and the staff was always very friendly, it's like a mom and pops eatery that had a nice feel to the place whenever I went, felt like home to be specific. I remember one time I had gone to eat there with my husband and he left his wallet behind, the cook was nice enough to keep it safe for us, nothing was missing. Great food, great people and great service. Thank you sunny side for all the great memories :) read more

Great food for slightly high prices. The interior has such an authentic diner aesthetic. All the servers were incredibly sweet except this one dude. The make your own omelets were delicious and the home fries were good too. read more

I was very impressed by this diner. I love how everyone speaks like my Grandparents did. Ask them if it's ok to park across the street. It'll make you smile. The lady said it's been around since 1920 or something, I was a little busy devouring my breakfast. Ham and eggs. No grits here, it's baked beans or potatoes. Eggs prepared expertly and served HOT and friendly. Ask about the gold rush. read more

This place has tanked tremendously since I last went a few years ago when it was under a different owner. I'm never going back again. I took my girlfriend to eat there over the weekend and kept boasting about the deliciousness of their breakfast on the way there. However, the reality that unfolded at that crowded, Hispanic-over-run, diner culminated in this review and a lost customer, for life. In fact, I will never visit a diner whose name is remotely close to anything "Sunny". I'm too scared. I'm Hispanic myself and have lost faith in my own people's ability to provide high quality customer service . If you're white, don't go here unless you're looking for a ghetto experience. I ordered two pancakes that tasted mediocre at best. I remember when their pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Not this time. I had to apply pressure on my fork to cut the damn pancake, almost as if I were trying to cut into steak. It almost felt like cutting construction paper with really dull scissors. Get the point? Good. But the real crux of this pancake horror story came when I went to pour the syrup. Warning, it's not syrup! It's some kind of sweetened slime. You can pour out an inch of it and quickly tip the cup back and find that the slime will ooze back, without it ever touching the pancake. It's some kind of sorcery syrup whose taste is deplorable, abominable, ignominious, and outright disgusting . I left the Sunny Side Diner with a bad taste in my mouth. I also feel that I was overcharged but didn't dispute it because I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I've come too far in life to subject myself to such mediocrity. I left a piece of my dignity back there. What they're doing there is an affront to breakfast and diners everywhere. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this pathetic diner. Your soul will never forgive you if you defy my warning. I feel that I have gotten some redemption from posting this review but I'm still reeling from sheer disappointment. read more
