I dig it. Ended up here since my favorite taco shop wasn't open yet, but what a pleasant surprise Sunrise Grill was. Located in a rather deserted strip mall and not too far from OHare, this one's a good spot to hit if you feel like pit stopping for some cheap diner style food. It honestly reminds me of a much homier feeling Denny's or IHOP with quite the friendly staff serving away and making sure that coffee cup never sees the bottom. Anyways, I ended up doing the Monte Cristo Crepe ~ 2 'crepes' filled with ham, turkey, american & swiss cheeses and served with a generous portion of potato hash. I say 'crepes' as its more the thickness of a pancake and seemed to be served with some syrup already. Either way... a sweet, savory breakfast that kept me full my entire flight to the West Coast. My love did the club sandwich which was plenty and had an awesome ginormous bowl of mushroom soup on the side. Since she loves mushrooms so much, that soup was the focus of the meal for her and I ended up with half a sandwich to take with me on my flight. All in all a very hearty meal. I'd come thru again if I were in the area looking for something cheap and filling. This one easily hit the under $10 per person mark... with tip. Cheap. Filling. What more could you want? 'Til next time, cheers! 197/365 read more

My daughter and I started The day with a long drive to attend anime central Animecon. We ate breakfast sandwiches from Starbucks around 9:45 in the morning and I had not eaten since then so we decided to try Sunrise Grill for early dinner at about 4:45 p.m.. The place was not busy. There was only about 11 other people when we arrived, but picked up shortly after. I ordered a skirt steak sandwich, but was served the skirt steak meal which was fine since I didn't need the carbs. My daughter ordered the 1/2 burger medium. Both the burger and the steak skirt were cooked properly. My daughter who is usually picky really liked the steak and the gravy sauce. For dessert I had the free flan from check in and my daughter had the seven layer chocolate cake. The flan had proper consistency and served with whip cream and chocolate sauce. Both tasted great. My daughter commented the chocolate on the cake tasted fresh. Not like some places were it tastes like the refrigerator. Overall quality food with a friendly staff. With the calamari, burger, skirt steak meal and cake it came to about $47 without tip. read more

Great place for a quick bite or even better for dinner as the Chef goes above and beyond on the dinner presentation. We have been going to this local spot for 10+ years and never disappointed . Veteran wait staff that is always moving to serve you. Chef specials are top notch and reasonable. The byob option makes it hard not to keep coming back! I heard they cater and it is amazing! read more

Great little diner, food is always delicious and the staff are warm and welcoming. This is my go to place to eat before going to Allstate Arena. read more

This place is a gem in DesPlaines or anywhere else really. I suspect Juanito or whoever the chef is, use to work at an upscale restaurant at some point in time and then decided - Ha, I gonna hang my own shingle and it'll be in a small strip mall off of Touhy Ave. in DesPlaines. And this high level in details really shows in the menu and presentation. Flan, filet mignon, prime rib, an array of upscale burgers, salad that looks like you're at the Drake on Michigan Ave. It's all a mind bender because there's a pleasant mismatch in food and the humble decor and ambiance. I love Juan's nachos with steak or chicken. The Juanito burger can turn Shake Shack into the Love Shack - the burger will have you feeling that good. Great service, great food, great price. Check in and get the complimentary flan, you'll love it. read more

For years I've been raving their food to my friends. Proven point! They did a catering for my event and my entire guest list of friends and family, approximately around 150 pax agreed that their food are amazingly good! The level of quality, taste, presentation and freshness are phenomenal. Not to mention it seems like you are dining in a fancy $$$ restaurant. Shout out to Maria... She is so awesome and very accommodating! I truly appreciate all her help. read more

Good service, food was mediocre . Chicken rice soup was very thick with a flat flavor devoid of salt. Had the Juanita burger looked delicious was loaded with salt. My sons strawberry pancakes were not good the berries were not very ripe or sweet. Coffee was superior,didn't taste like it. Food looks good but was below my expectations. Was nice they gave us a complimentary flan was really good . I may try dinner another time. Great efficient customer service. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to eat in Des Plaines as we were in the area. I found an offer for the Sunrise Grill on Groupon for $30 for $15. Yelp rates it 4 stars so we thought we would give it a try. The Sunset Grill is in a strip mall. The interior is a little cheesy & dated. The service was a little slow, but we were finally able to order. The food prices are not too expensive & decent size portions. The waitress was pleasant enough with a good personality and sense of humor. She started with garlic bread that was very good w/butter, fresh garlic, herbs & Parmesan cheese. We scarfed that down very quickly and waited for the waitresses return. When she came back we ordered & asked for more garlic bread. I ordered the skirt steak in a reduced wine sauce (nice presentation) This came with mashed potatoes, yellow & purple cauliflower, split pea soup & a piece of dill for garnish. The soup was tasty, but a bit too salty. The cauliflower & mashed potatoes were nothing noteworthy but tasted good. The main course was the skirt steak w/a wine reduction sauce. It was pretty good, but once again a little too salty. Overall I would rate this 3 1/2 stars, a little better then average. My wife ordered the gyros plate which came with split pea soup, gyro meat, pita bread and a cucumber, tomato & onion salad. The gyro meat was pretty good. I've had worse and I've had better. Once again 3 1/2 stars For desert we split a flan courtesy of Yelp (Thanks Yelp) Overall I would rate Sunrise Cafe 3 1/2 stars read more

Good bides music play not to loud good pancakes fluffy but no ketchup at table others did good hood

Staying over in Chicago we tried Sunrise Grill with no expectations. Great food and service. Large menu with reasonable prices. Fluffy omelettes!!! We would definitely go again. read more

This place is good for traditional American breakfast food! Nothing too crazy but they do a good job with the basics. The food also came out relatively fast after ordering. I got the House Special with over easy eggs, pancakes, and sausage. Everything was cooked perfectly. The egg yolks were runny, the pancakes were fluffy, the sausage had excellent color and flavor. The price of this was also quite good. They even gave me 3 eggs instead of 2! I also tried some of the Sunrise Field of Veggies and hash browns which were both good. The ambience wasn't the greatest and the service was okay, but if you're looking for something quick and inexpensive in the area, this would be a good option. read more

The Ranchero Nest is exactly what I want in a breakfast. And my kids were thrilled with the Mickey pancakes. Great food. Great prices. Highly recommend! read more

Went in for breakfast. We were very excited to try this place because of the reviews. We gave our name to the host who then proceeded to check in people ahead of us. We were only a party of two. A large group came in behind us. There were two available tables. Those tables were put together for that group while we were left standing there without being seated. We left and decided to try another place for breakfast. read more

Solid breakfast. This place is busy so be prepared for a wait but they do seem to move people in and out quickly. I had the pesto avocado omelet. Very good. I would get without the cheese but it was easily scraped off, there was just too much. They accommodated making my guests food dairy free by cooking it dry. Reasonable prices, fast service. read more

Found this cute spot as I was driving around in Rosemont. Food was good and very affordable, will definitely go back.

Tasty family run restaurant. Breakfast is good and the Mexican food is great! Open all day!

Me and my sister went for dinner and it felt like we were mostly being ignored in favor of what was clearly regular guests. It took over 10 minutes just for us to place our order. The food was just bad. The dishes we ordered were described as crispy and or fried and everything was soggy. Definitely not worth the money. read more

Nice and convenient. Quick service and very good food! Bright and clean, a great place to eat!

Food was good....I came back because the last time the server was so accommodating...but this time a different lady was so argumentative would not make my order in advance..I called for a pick up. Then she put my soup in a plastic back so it was tumbling around. She had to have everything her way...last time I checked I am the customer. read more

We each had the Cobb Salad. Not only was it very good, but at a nice price $10. As starters she had beef vegerable soup, which was tasty and full of vegetables.

I've been coming here for the last 15 years.. I stopped coming because the coffee is not the same thought it was a one time thing. tried it a few more times and mentioned it to the waitress several times. I really enjoy my bf with a great cup of coffee. it's been watered down in the last 9 months truly upset literally drinking hot water with creamer. food is good! read more

We recently used their catering services for my son's 5th birthday. Ask for Maria when you call for catering. She suggested taco bar for our party and it was great! They cooked fresh Tacos for us at Lake Opeka pavilion. Jesus and his wife were super nice, they did a great job cooking and serving our guests. Everyone was so happy! I highly recommend their catering for your events. They have many options. read more

Food was great...I had the baby girl French toast.. highly recommend. Service was fast. My husband loved his omelette.

Great food for great value with great service! Sunrise grill is a great find run by a family.

Checked this place out for a late lunch with my mom. We split a turkey club, then had the free ice cream with check in, and a warm bread pudding. The atmosphere is pretty casual and feels like a time warp, which I love. Old Frank Sinatra music playing, older couples splitting bottles of wine. Service was friendly, and one of the servers but a fresh pot of coffee on for us, which was very good and considerate. The turkey club was good, but they do use lunch meat not fresh carved turkey, if that's a deal breaker for you. I assume that's because their more elaborate dinner specials are probably the main draw. The fries were actually amazing, and I'm not a huge fry person. They're lightly battered and very crispy, even do well as left overs. The bread pudding was on point and I couldn't pass it up. It's hard to find places that make a good bread pudding. Would come back for this and the coffee alone. The ice cream was butter pecan, nothing crazy, but tasty. The dinner entrees looked really good coming out. Would love to come back for an actual dinner from here. read more

Service was great and has a very comfort food vibe. If you're looking for a classic breakfast place, this is the place to try.

This breakfast spot doesn't look like much from the outside in a strip mall but the food was fantastic, the portions were large, and the service was great. They also have smoothies on the menu. We had the pineapple mango and they were refreshing and tasty. I'll definitely be back. read more

Oh my Gosh what a Gem!!! So a harrowing day driving from Greenbay to Midway airport and all the traffic! We were just so tired of the traffic that we pulled off not knowing what kind of eateries were around and flung restaurant into the Yelposshere. And boy howdy did it deliver! Hidden in a strip mall next to a Taqueria is this yummy place. Fresh yummy salad, impressive entrees, great daily specials, and I'm sure so much more! Go there! Don't think twice! read more

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
