    Cheeseburger
    Stella B.

    This deli is small but we wanted to try it out. So a we went, there is a small patio and a small indoor seating. We placed our order and got our food choices. It is clean and there are many things to try. The attendant was friendly and helpful and we not only enjoyed the affordable menu but the food was great. I am pleased to have found this place close to my daughters home.

    Brooklyn Reubens with macaroni salad

    My dad was craving a reuben sandwich, on a sidequest we came across Sunrise Deli. My dad ordered their Brooklyn Reuben with macaroni salad, my spouse ordered the same, and I went with half sandwich & soup, chicken salad on sourdough and chicken tortilla soup. Everything from the service to the ambiance but specifically the food, were perfection! We are so happy to have come across Sunrise Deli, 10/10 highly recommend!

    Husband ordered the beef bbq sandwich and my plate was the Philly cheese steak sandwich. I recommend both!

    The food was hot and delicious. They serve a generous side of French fries snd the ranch dressing is absolutely delicious. Both of our meals were $30. The music they played was okay. The music playing in the kitchen was better than what we heard. The service was good. Definitely coming back!

    Rainy day in SD, this spot is perfect for a bowl of chicken tortilla soup! I was taken aback at how delicious this meal was. The staff was so friendly and the inside is so cute, I absolutely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a good lunch spot. I got the medium and it was a great price and huge serving! I will absolutely be back. Thank you Fernanda and Fernando!

    Disgusting service and food

    I couldn't be more disappointed as to how bad this place has become it used to be the best place to get a sandwich and soup in San Diego. Service was horrible, food was disgusting, and I had to ask 3 times if they put my extra pickles. I ordered 3 different meals and was charged separately for my fries , food, and drink instead of being charged for a combo. When asked the cashier she replied with a smart comment like it was my problem for noticing that I was being charged. The cherry on top of it all is i didn't get a single pickle in any of my meals even tho I asked, paid for, and reasked as I need pickles to eat with my sandwich.

    Pastrami Dip and Fries
    Crissy A.

    My bf got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich and fries. Usually our favorite place to order takeout. Ordering over the phone was easy and the staff was very friendly and aware we wanted extra crispy fries. She said it would be ready 20 minutes and my bf got there in 15 minutes. Another 15 minutes went by, total wait 30 minutes, before receiving order. The plates look good but the fries were not crispy, very soggy until I crisped it up at home before eating. The pastrami sandwich looked delicious and was excited to dip it! Nope , the dip was too salty! Unfortunately, both of our meals were super salty. Total disappointment! Dipping the fries in ranch, we were able eat a few. But could not fix the salty pastrami. To be fair, this is the first time from our many visits that we disliked our meal from Sunrise Deli.

    BLT with Mac n cheese side
    Esther M.

    The service here is always very friendly and helpful! I recently tried the blt with extra bacon and a side of Mac n cheese. The sandwich was toasted to perfection, crunchy fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes :) the Mac n cheese was super duper cheesy but kind of plain-tasting. Not my fav Mac n cheese but to each his/her own! The food options here are amazing , enjoy

    the food here is so good and fresh i definitely recommend coming here. the parking is small though.

    I can't remember a single thing I've eaten at Sunrise Deli. I dined at Sunrise a few times a year, every year, from 2011 to 2019 - call it twenty meals of my own plus samples of whatever my wife ordered - and still, I'm drawing a blank. Had I tried anything that knocked my socks off or that was disgusting, such meals would have stuck in my mind. Did I have breakfast? A sandwich? Some sort of plate lunch? No se, and that says a lot about the place. But wait, let me check my photos. OK, according to my files, one time, I had some sort of cheeseburger and some fries at Sunrise Deli and... nope, even though I'm looking at the picture, I don't remember eating it. This is pointless. All I can tell you is that in my experience, if you eat at Sunrise Deli, you won't have a memorably good experience, but it won't be notably bad, and I guess that's not nothing.

    I've lived down the street for years but never tried this place. I was running errands on the same street so, when I got hungry I decided to try something new. Very nice people working here. I ordered pancakes, eggs and bacon. The pancakes looked really pretty but lacked flavor and were dry. The syrup wasn't very good either. I don't know what brand they use but I didn't like it. The bacon didn't look or taste fresh. Bacon wasn't bad (it rarely ever is IMO) but I'm thinking maybe reheated from the previous day. The eggs needed seasoning. I'm not surprised though because many places don't season the eggs. I'm glad I tried it out but sunrise didn't wow me to go back for anything different. I do love the yellow interior! It's very inviting and felt like a happy place. I also love the large menu display. I could see it without my glasses!

    Mickey kids meal.

    Love this place ! So fast (for what I order) and food doesn't disappoint! The energy from the people behind the counter makes you want to come back! The outdoor seating is amazing and the take out is just like sitting in. I have not been disappointed any time I've come, and will continue to come back.

    Couldn't properly order food because the lady didn't speak English to understand what I was ordering. Ended up going someplace else.

    We have been to Toasted probably 5 or so times since moving to La Mesa and love it! We definitely…read morerecommend it. AMBIANCE: The ambiance is very nice. The restaurant is cute and not too noisy. There is an indoor and outdoor area. SERVICE: We have never had a bad service experience at Toasted. Our waitress today in particular was great. My niece wanted a mimosa without alcohol, and she happily accommodated and even suggested adding some soda water to make it more like a mimosa. FOOD & DRINKS: In the many times we have been there, we have had the following; DRINKS: -Mimosa Flight: Too be honest, I did not love the flight. The Prickly Pear was my favorite, but I tend to prefer sweeter drinks, and I would say overall, the cocktails are not super sweet there, which for many people is a plus (just not me). -Lavender Cocktail - Good but also not super sweet -Chai Latte - I have had it hot and iced and liked it both ways FOOD: -Santa Fe Scramble - My favorite dish I have tried to date. Our waitress compared it to tortilla soup in an egg dish, and I would say that's a new perfect description except I think this is way better than tortilla soup -Denver Scramble - Very good and would order again -Breakfast Sammy - Good. A typical breakfast sandwich, so if that's what you're in the mood for, get this. That being said, I wouldn't say there is anything that sets this breakfast sandwich apart from others. -Stuffed French Toast - Good but not my favorite. Would not order again. -Fried Chicken Benny - Good but not a standout that I would order again -Breakfast Quesadilla - Just okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but I would not get it again and would do the Santa Fe Scramble over this. -Sliders - My favorite lunch item. They are the same as the old Sammy's sliders (this location used to be a Sammy's) -Red Velvet Pancakes - Good but very rich -Chocolate Chip Pancakes - Great and very fluffy with excellent texture Overall, even though not every food item or drink is a hit for me personally, that's the case at pretty much any restaurant, and there are some great items and the food, service, and ambiance are great

    Great bottomless service, our waitress filled up my glass as I drank which was amazing lol. I…read moreordered the chicken and pancakes which all together I rate a 6.5/10. - Comes with 3 THICK pancakes and three southern fried chicken tender with "hot" syrup. - Syrup tasted like regular syrup mixed with hot sauce which I wasn't really feelin. I think it would've been better with hot honey and syrup on the side? - Again these pancakes are THICK and flavor was "meh" so you prolly won't even finish them all and you might need to ask for extra syrup (like myself) I honestly think the chicken and French toast would've been a better option and I might ask for that accommodation next time if I order the same thing (I prolly won't, I like to try new tings hehe). Overall pretty restaurant with great natural Lighting but it still needs to prove itself in the flavor department.

    Family House is one of my favorite places to come to! It's a lot farther away which is why I don't…read moreget over here very often. But I had some students who worked very hard on their yearbook and I owed them food! The staff is always friendly! We sat outside and I told them to just order whatever they anted. I got the meatlovers scramble with pancakes. I also ordered a side of country gravy because everything tastes great with gravy! The kids enjoyed what they ordered especially the blueberry pancakes. Can't wait to come back!

    I came here for breakfast with a group of friends during a bachelorette weekend a couple weeks ago…read more I'm rarely ever in Lemon Grove, so I didn't know about it before -- absolutely loved it! The service was friendly and efficient, and the portions were HUGE! I loved how they had a whole menu page dedicated to Mexican breakfast, which is probably my favorite to order when I'm eating out. I had Baja-style eggs with beans and homemade tortillas, plus a cup of cafe de olla. SO good!! A couple of my friends split the largest breakfast burrito I'd ever seen, and everyone who ordered pancakes said they were really good. Note: the silver dollar pancakes here are like regular-sized pancakes, and the regular pancakes are gigantic. I definitely recommend splitting plates if possible, or planning to take home leftovers. Our servers took good care of our party of nine, even when we wanted to split checks individually. Somehow my cafe de olla got left off the bill completely, and when I told the server, she just smiled and said, "don't worry about it." So I made sure to tip a little extra! I liked how the menu also featured the family's story of coming to San Diego and starting the restaurant, and how it's stayed in the family for a couple generations now. That made me feel more connected and like I wanted to support them. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area for breakfast or brunch again, and maybe make a special trip for it!
