Stopped here for late breakfast/early lunch on our way to the airport. Between the three of us we had a Denver omelette, hash browns, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, toast, gyros and fries. Food was great but disappointed the fries were those food service ones with the weird crispy coating. Coffee was hot and good and our server was attentive and friendly. Tables were spaced for Covid. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The food is great but the pancakes are my favorite. AND, because I'm basic, that's literally all I ever get. The people I go with are urbane and sophisticated and have order other things and it's all been great according to them. I wasn't planning on leaving the house today but now I need me a stack. read more

Nice quaint place to eat breakfast. The service was great. The food was great... taste wise as well as amount. It was a very good meal after a long 8 hour flight! Definitely will be back if I'm ever flying this way again. read more

I've been to the Sunrise Grill for dinner several times. They offer a diverse menu with an emphasis on comfort food and the food is not only delicious but reasonably priced. We just celebrated my parent's 70th wedding anniversary in their private room and were served family style. Cloth napkins, great salad fixings including delicious goat cheese and various fresh toppings, garlic bread, chicken, roast beef, pasta, two kinds of potatoes (oven roasted and twice baked)-all delicious. Sunrise is BYOB but they set out wine glasses for us. Best of all we were served by Dorata and Judy, who genuinely care and take pride in doing an excellent job! Thanks for helping us make special memories! read more

Oh my baby Jeezus.. this place was the best little hole in the wall surprise ever! Its in a little strip mall close to O'hare and one of the young girls that checked me in at my hotel suggested the place- it was amazingly delicious! We arrived and noticed only one other table in the entire place- scattered with grungy booths and old tables that looked like the one my grandma had in the 80's. We were promptly greeted by Sherri- loved her!!! She offered hot coffee and suggested the fresh sqeezed OJ- uh, excuse me?? FRESH Squeezed?? Hell yeah I'll have some! It was pulpy and bright- they leave the seeds in too- I didn't even care.. I need the fiber, right?? After scanning the menu basics- eggs, bacon, french toast.. I spotted some plates that I would never had expected- crab cake eggs Benedict with pesto hollandaise?? Crepes?! Marscapone stuffed french toast? This is no IHOP people! I opted for the Ranchero Nest- basically a chorizo, pepper, tomatoe and cheese omelet wrapped inside a hashbrown shell-topped with fresh pico, guacamole and sour cream- I don't know how they did it but it was food of the gods I tell you!! I originally asked for no onions, but when Sherri noticed I dissected it and found them she promptly had a new one made for me. By the time we left the place was buzzing with sweet lilttle elderly couples who were greeted by name and asked if they wanted the usual.. I flove places like this! GO EAT HERE!! read more

This place is amazing!!!!!! We all have our breakfast joints, and pre-pandemic I had never been in here. (And I live a block away) However, my place closed and didn't even due curbside. Sunrise was there to the rescue for our Sunday morning breakfast! Jovanni patter is amazing and the price you cant beat! It fed my family of 4 (2 adults and 2 high schoolers) Nobody went hungry! For Father's Day ordered off the menu, and it was delicious! Once I'm comfortable on going inside, this place is our new Sunday morning place! A big shout out to Amanda who usually always takes my order! You are awesome! read more

I visited this place a few times before starting my work shift. Each time I ordered bacon & eggs. AND each time I paid a different price anywhere between $4-$5 depending on the cashier's mood (I'm assuming.) I have NEVER received a receipt and the cashier just opens the register and deposit the money and gives me my change. Also, the bacon is always cold. Who likes cold bacon and hot eggs? I won't return here the practices are too shady. read more

Came for dinner last night again and it was a different feel than the last few times. Everyone seemed down, no one was smiling and it seems like they may have a new chef. The food was not as good as previous times. Split pea soup was awful. Very very salty. Bring the old chef back. read more

This place is sort of hard to explain. It's your basic diner, down to the strip mall location, but with more interesting menu options and better-tasting food. If that helps. I came here for dinner with my sister and brother-in-law. We ordered two entrees to split, which was plenty for us. Dinner began with a bowl of garlic bread, which was a nice way to start things off. Brother-in-law got beef and barley soup while my sister and I got the house salad with our mains. These were all okay, but no better than you'd expect at a diner. Our entrees, however, were a different story. For our mains we split the lamb shank and cappellini fra diavolo aglio olio - that's "deveined shrimp, arugula, cherry tomatoes, a touch of red pepper flakes and shaved parmesan cheese." Both of these dishes were very good. The lamb was so tender it literally fell off the bone, and the pasta was darn near al dente - much better than I'd expected at a place that's not an Italian restaurant. We especially enjoyed the kick the red pepper flakes gave to the pasta dish. As for the sauce on the lamb, it was extremely tasty, if a little bit too salty. We would never have learned about Sunrise Grill if not for their booth at the Taste of Des Plaines, so it is lucky they were there. If you're in the neighborhood this place is definitely worth a try for its thoughtful menu items and attentive service. We've also heard dessert is worth the trip alone, though we did not partake. read more

My husband and I had dinner at Sunrise Grill this past week. It was our first visit there. The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. My husband ordered the pork chops and I ordered a beet and goat cheese salad. The food came in a timely manner and the presentation was amazing. Our dinners were delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to dine. We plan to go back.... again and again! read more

After an internet search, I called Sunrise and asked to have high tea for three holocaust survivors celebrating their 76th anniversary of arriving in America. It was a rainy day and when we pulled up to the front, while parking was super easy, I was a little skeptical. But, once we entered and sat down in the private room I'd requested to keep everyone safe from Covid, we had an amazing experience. Maria and her husband really outdid themselves and exceeded all of our expectations. The food looked beautiful, tasted even better, and the service and warmth of the staff was outstanding. Thank you Sunrise Grill for making everything so special. read more

Tldr skip the bng and sausage patties. The coffe and eggs were ok. Popular place with lots of people. Sunrise was an average dinner experience. I came around lunch in a weekday and it was pretty packed. The wait staff was exceptional. On point and checking how everything was. This itself makes this go up to a 3 star from a 2 star experience. I had the biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs over easy on top and a side of sausage. The biscuits were the premade probably frozen kind. Not bad bit ot fresh made which I think another reviewer accidentally wrote in, I think. The gravy was thin and also kind of bland. It was sausage gravy, but it missed the spot. Not terrible just not great. I was really sad that they over medium cooked my eggs vs Any interest next weekend? easy. So that is really disappointing. The sausage patties were that premade Cisco stuff and a complete skip. Overall the place was nice, and it had a good vibe. Lot of people, very busy so there has to be good stuff here. I just did not order it. read more

Dinner is back on the table; limited to Thu-Fri-Sat nights. Posted on Facebook Tuesday was this message : "And now, the announcement you've all been (patiently) waiting for ... WE WILL BE BACK SERVING DINNERS AGAIN !!! Starting Thursday, September 19th ! We will be open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only. We've streamlined the menu, keeping the favorites, and adding a few new dishes. We feel these new selections will help us to serve you better, and in a more prompt manner. We've kept the Lamb Shank, Skirt Steak, Short Ribs, Salmon, Shrimp Risotto, Eggplant Cannelloni and Stroganoff, and we've added thin Pork Chops, Lump Crab Cake dinner, and a half marinated Chicken. There's a new Salad, a new Sandwich, and more choices for side salads and soup. Please come back and see us ... we've missed you !" I will be back soon and I hope whatever issues they had have been worked out so they don't keep creating a void in the stomachs of Jose's loyal followers. read more

I liked it fine, first timer. My group went for dinner, our mistake was going at 7:30, the place is only open till 9, and they ran out of a lot of the chalkboard specials, and some of the menu items. Our waitress, Nicole, put up with out group of 8, and did a decent enough job taking care of our service. The food was good and at a very reasonable price. My wife had the eggplant parmesan and said it was great, I had a rib eye, which was OK, nothing to get excited about, others around had the sea scallop special and said it was good, my Blue Cheese salad dressing was about the best tasting blue cheese I think I ever had...as others noted, the garlic bread is great too, So, go, you'll like it. read more

Came here after a failed attempt at another restaurant. This restaurant is in a store front. I ordered the sunrise veggie platter with a side of pancakes and bacon. I also ordered a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. The juice touched my soul in ways only something freshly squeezed could touch. The pancakes were nice and fluffy to the point I was only able to eat one and take the other one home with me for a snack later. The veggie platter was lacking to me. I needed salsa and salt and pepper. It was like the scrambled my veggies together with the egg and served it to me like that without salt and/or pepper. That really hurt me because I had high hopes for it and was trying to be healthy. read more

delicious home made food, will accommodate your asks...service usually pretty good and they treat returning customers well!

Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner? You won't go wrong at Sunrise Grill! We were there on Sunday with the family and I ordered the Sunrise French Toast. What made it special? The Extra Thick bread was pressed in Granola then stuffed with banana, strawberry and blueberry! No need for syrup. The bread then grilled to golden perfection and served with whipped cream. My husband looked jealous!! He ordered his old favorite the Ham and Cheese omelette, potatoes and pancakes. He was a happy guy! The coffee was always hot (our waitress was very attentive!) and our water glasses were always full. Been here for dinner and the salad that comes with the entree is a work of art. The chef clices a large carrot to encircle the salad. You would think you are at a fine dining restaurant, not a small joint in a strip mall in Des Plaines! The outside (and inside) of Sunrise Grill would surely make some people drive right passed, but boy would they be missing out on some awesome food! Looks like a greasy spoon, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating! At Sunrise Grill you will go home happy and very satisfied with your meal! The prices are reasonable. We will be back again and again! read more

Yeah, I'd feel safe eating here. Nothing fancy, but the food is solid (as in quality, not texture/consistency,) the service is good and the prices won't break the bank (oh and the portions are good.) I went on a Sunday morning before hitting up the flea market and they were filled, but there were a few open tables to grab right away (seat yourself.) A nice local place, a good meal. Don't expect anything fancy, but DO expect to have a good meal, good portions and a wallet that won't complain. read more

Stopped in (6 of us) for breakfast. Plenty of room inside with good seating. Great menu choices. Food came out quickly (considering the number of us plus the many other folks they were there) and everything was hot. Coffee good and plentiful. Waitstaff attentive and friendly. Very clean and tidy inside. Lots of take out orders. Good looking desserts in cases in the front. Nice choices for kiddos as well. read more

I've been here twice now: once with a friend and once with my fiance. I had the Mexican skillet the first time around and it was awesome! Nice and flavorful and came with a side of good pancakes. Service is super friendly. My friend had the Baby Girl French Toast and it looked amazing. She finished every last bite so it must have been good. On my second visit here, my fiance decided on the Mexican skillet and I had the corned beef skillet. My skillet was okay (could use more corned beef) but the Mexican skillet was still great. Best of all, the skillets are super affordable at seven dollars and change! You can't beat that price, especially with the awesome friendly service. They also take credit, which is a plus (sometimes the affordable breakfast joints are cash only). I'll definitely be back. Also, this place is byob. I've seen people bring their own champagne to have yummy mimosas with their brunch. read more

Great food and excellent service! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!!! Enjoy!

Planned a trip to visit grams in McHenry. Researched locations to have breakfast since we were going to arrive in the morning. Found this place online and saw nothing but good things about it. This place is fantastic! The people who work there are friendly to say the least and the food was great. We were a group of 6 plus a four year old and they had no problem seating us. Highly recommend the crepes, waffles, and the ranchero nest. To top it all off, the price is right. read more

I can't believe what happened to me tonight at the Sunrise Grill. Me and my friend went out for his birthday. We were the only two people in there. A man came in off the street said he was writing a review. They took mine and my friends dishes started taking pictures of them. And then served them to us. During a worldwide pandemic. This is a true story read more

Always fresh and good quality. Unfortunately the portion size varies. Service is a catch or miss. What is awesome is that they accommodate food allergies. They also offer catering. read more

I was in Rosemont, IL for few months on business. Found this restaurant while out driving. Of all the restaurants in the Chicago area I loved this one the best. The food was EXCELLENT! Good Customer service! read more

Yum yum yummy, for my tummy and my wallet! It was truly the best breakfast I've ever had. Wheat pancakes with Strawberries, eggs, and bacon. They even asked how I'd like my bacon! I said slightly crispy, and it was exactly that. The pancakes were a perfect proportion; bigger than my fist, smaller than my open hand. And they were truly fluffy ^___^ My portion of the bill: $7.25. On service: Waitress was nice. Checked on us infrequently, which is perfect, as I was catching up with a friend. The venue is cozy, diner-like. My table was clean, we sat by the window. It was nice. They have a small, shared parking lot. I came here during the morning of a weekday (perfect!). Spaces and seating was in abundance. I'm coming here for breakfast every chance I get! (I'm from SF) read more

What a hidden gem!! My family came here for dinner to celebrate my dad's birthday. This a BYOB restaurant without a corkage fee which is always a plus. We were seated as soon as we arrived & welcomed by a friendly server. The garlic bread was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, they were out of one of the specials, but there was still a wide variety to choose from. The presentation of the food was unexpected and impressive for a diner. The tables also had small vases with flowers- a nice touch. There is definitely an older clientele that come here and the place cleared out by 7pm. We all enjoyed our meals and agreed we would come back here - such a nice meal without breaking the bank! I am curious to try their breakfast selection. read more

I like this place their breakfast is really good. Most of the time when around that area. I order from there.

Not worth the trip. It was okay but I wouldn't go back. It was a 30 minute drive and my family were also not satisfied

Great restaurant for breakfast. The crepes, French toast, and omelettes are delicious. I highly recommend eating breakfast here. I'll try lunch and dinner another time. I just love having breakfast here. Friendly staff too. read more

I had an unpleasant experience with this place. Breakfast was just eggs, potatoes, and toast. First off the waiter (possibly owner) seemed to be irritated by the idea that I didn't want coffee or meat with my meal. I realize that the bill would be double and thus the tip better, but I all ready had my coffee. Next, the over easy eggs were anything but..... one even broken. In addition, my potatoes were oily with the taste of cheap or bad oil. Finally, I was sitting at the counter and there was nobody in the place, you think that they might look in my direction or possibly ask if I needed something. Not untill I was almost done eating did that question come up. I would have liked hot sauce earlier. Won't be back.... read more

My wife and daughter and I stopped here for breakfast after we picked up our car at a nearby hotel. Our first thought was to head into the City but we were afraid there would be a long wait. We were seated right away here. My daughter had the crab Benedict which was very good. My wife had the berry crepes which had lots of fresh berries and were delicious. I had a hash skillet which was tasty. The skillet included two eggs and pancakes. Everything was hot and delicious. Both of the egg dishes were listed as including two eggs but they actually gave us each three. Service was a little slow and the coffee was weak, but this same food downtown would have cost 50% more. If you're looking for breakfast near O'Hare this place can't be beat read more

Ordered on the phone for takeout on a Saturday morning. I can't always cook so I'm very grateful restaurants are still open during this craziness. Great tasting food, good service. Portions are very generous and very reasonable pricing! Recently moved to the area and I'm very excited I have an awesome place like Sunrise Grill near me :) read more

Used to have corned beef hash made from scratch, seemed like from a can! Very fine with current conditions.

Amazing place! We placed an order for the Mother's Day bkft platter and it was delicious! Yes the line was long but well worth it!!! No one left hungry! We will definitely be back! read more

This is an okay breakfast/diner establishment that serves an acceptable version of the standard breakfast offerings you can find at any dinner across this country. I'm getting tired of seeing 'skillets' on every menu since 2003. I get it, you bought a bunch of child-sized porcelain bedpans. Please stop serving all of my food piled on top of each other in them. I ordered the Ranchero Nest. I was thinking that it would come as a roll of hash browns surrounding chorizo and eggs in a heavenly friend potato breakfast burrito. What arrived was basically a small wrap of soggy undercooked out-of-the-box hash browns folded over a pile of overcooked scrambled eggs with a teaspoon of chorizo tossed on top. Really disappointing. The pancakes that came with it were slightly better, though they were definitely from a mix. My wife had a breakfast sandwich. Pretty plain. The bacon was a bit soggy but it wasn't bad. My brother had a pot roast skillet. It was molten hot, and the 'over easy' eggs slapped over it were turned to rubber by the firey mass. The service was friendly and fast. Filling coffee cups and pouring water as needed. That's the main reason for the 3-stars and not 2. Their staff did a good job handling the busy workload in the place. I just wish the food was good. read more
