Sunrise diner has been a breakfast classic in Croydon for as long as I can remember. Standing tall on Bristol Pike and serving up warm meals and even warmer memories. It is where our family has gathered over the generations. It still has a cozy, familiar vibe, even though it has undergone many facelifts over the decades. The staff is always friendly and always on point that has never changed but like many longtime favorites Sunrise has evolved, but not for the better. The prices have steadily crept up (my go to griddle melt went from 849 to 1199 in just six years). That's over a 40% increase. We totally get it. The cost of doing business has skyrocketed running a diner in today's world isn't easy (and we have even seen some of our longtime favorites close their doors forever) but when rising prices meet cutting corners, it starts to chip away the charm that made The Sunrise so special. We are still rooting for The Sunrise it's more than just a diner. It's a part of the community. While we can't stay regulars, we will pop in now and again, as we appreciate the role that it is played in our mornings.

Great little diner. The breakfasts are very good with reasonable prices. They never raised their price or imposed an extra charge for the egg platters. Service is excellent with friendly servers.

Healthy omelet with asparagus, feta, and turkey

Love the food.... Healthy omelets and excellent service from Leanna and the whole team with a neighborhood vibe! We love it here!

french toast, scrambled eggs, and coffee

Love the breakfast here! If you are ever in this area- this is a must! Every time I come in the food is on point. Came in with a party of 3 around 2pm. We're seated right away, restaurant was very clean and the waitress was on point with service. Ordered the French toast platter and it was so tasty! Just the way I like it. The eggs were good too and ordered has browns and they were nice and crispy, not greasy at all. My mom ordered the pot pie and it was huge!! She was raving about it. Everyone at the table was satisfied with their food. Would be coming back.

Normally, we LOVE this diner for the breakfast or brunch choices. I would say we also frequent here 2-3 times a month. This place is amazing..... EXCEPT for Last night when it was Too darn HOT and Humid to cook. During a past visit, another couple told us that The Yankee Pot roast made here was AWESOME and worthwhile to come on in for it. So, we came over for dinner last night and Boy, We had a RUDE awakening. My husbands fish n chips were STILL swimming (raw fish! ) and the Awesome chicken wings were STILL RAW !!!!! Whoa We were deeply disappointed and Very Upset! My husband is a chef of over 33 years but he is not a jerk and sometimes "Things" do Happen, but come On. They were nice to take the fish Off our bill but the chicken wings were still bloody! How do they allow food to come out in that condition. Another place that we sadly won't be back to. I am sad because the manager really was not concerned and now, we have to find another place to go.

Toast

Came in for breakfast and wasn't disappointed, we were sat down fairly quickly, our order was taken pretty fast without being rushed, it was packed too, the tables were clean as well as the seating booth, what we ordered came out at a decent time and was hot, the food was a good amount and taste either at par or above your usual diner food, the staff as well as the owner were friendly and welcoming, the only downside was the egg white omelet that we ordered was a little over done but it wasn't a deal breaker, we will definitely come back but next time it will be for dinner.

Roast Prime Rib, green beans, potato. (Au Jus sauce comes with order)

Good find in Croydon. Keep up the good work Sunrise Diner! I was jonesing for a steak and also delivery as it was a bitterly cold night in late December. My choices were either Applebee's or Sunrise dinner, I typically always choose a new restaurant option and very glad that I found this diner. Roast Prime Rib - Absolutely delicious! Ample amounts of flavor were cooked into this Prime Rib. I fed my new cat a tiny piece the day after and after he ate it he looked up at me that he found the holy grail to life, it was truly a magical moment shared. French Onion Soup - Now this was the one star deduction, I chose the snapper soup as you can add any soup for only $1.99 and French Onion came instead (Assuming they were out of the Snapper but no phone call ahead to let me know). It was not bad by any means, a bit salty but that's how it goes with French Onion. Wisconsin Cheese Fries - A ton of fries with gooey cheese, bacon bits, and above average fries. I don't even recall tasting them the day they were ordered but if I snag another fry from a future order I will be sure to update review. Pork Pot Stickers - Girlfriend ordered the pot stickers and said they were very good. Now these are lightly fried and I only order steamed but if your a fan of pot stickers and don't mind lightly fried I suggest you give it a try. Crock of Idaho Potato Soup - Perfectly layered pieces of bacon over a cheesy potato based broth with scattered chunks of potato goodness assorted throughout. I highly recommend you try one of their homemade soups especially this one if you are looking to warm up during the winter. As always people SYOY!!!!

The waffles were made well, the strawberry butter on top of the waffles were delicious, the spicy syrup they make for you was good, but the chicken was very average. Some parts were moist, other parts dry, and the batter was very standard, nothing significant. Maybe it doesn't help that I come from New York and tried numerous food trucks or restaurants in food markets so my standards might be higher than normal. They got the waffle (5/5) part down, but not the chicken (2.5/5). Fried chicken is one of my favorite foods so I was a tad bit disappointed when the main star of the meal was very subpar. I also ordered 2 eggs on the side, over-medium and they were cooked well. My friend ordered the meat lovers omelette and it seemed like he enjoyed it. No complaints about service, and I was very happy to have my breakfast at a clean establishment. I'll probably be back next time I'm in Philly to try their other breakfast items.

New Madison is a popular charming luncheonette that doesn't look like its changed much in decades…read more I found plenty of parking around breakfast time in the strip mall parking lot, since most of the other businesses were not open. The inside is on the darker side with brick floors and just a few windows at the front letting in some natural light. They have framed pictures hanging on the walls just about everywhere. The counter with stools was a bit tight, but a great spot to sit down and grab a bite. On my latest visit, I sat at a tiny table for two which was fine for flying solo. The booths and tables look much roomier. Food wise I stuck to simple two egg breakfasts. Sunny side up and scrambled with potatoes and I tried the hot sausage which was ground with hot pepper flakes and oil. It was a big portion with the sausage and came to about $14 and change. The eggs, toast and potatoes with no meat was a couple dollars less. Breakfasts included coffee which was a simple diner roast. The staff was friendly and kept stopping over to check on me and keep my coffee topped off. Overall, I liked the ambiance and felt like I had gone back to the 70's-early 80's with the decor and MGK classic rock playing over the speakers. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. I've driven by the New Madison so many times over the years and I'm glad I finally stopped in. Thanks guys!

Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal. I had the open‑face Turkey Reuben and the portion was definitely shareable and very good. My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.
