Little luncheonette in Trenton downtown. Food is very good. Plentiful. Prices are very reasonable. The owner is a very nice person and welcomes all to enjoy a meal. Cash only. No credit or debit but that's not a major issue considering the price is right for good food. There are ethnic foods available. read more

What a great hole in the wall place, discovered completely by accident and have been going there for a few years now. The owners are nice and pleasant. My favorite spot to get some casado con pollo or pinto steak. The food always taste fresh and delicious and the owners knows our order when we sit down. Nice and quaint little family run place. You must go on Tuesday to try the roasted chicken omg it's soooo delicious! yummy! All in all it's a win win for me and my bestie! We love relaxing there and enjoying a good conversation over lunch! read more

See all

No frills all around, throwback tables and chairs, long diner counter and good pleasant service. The food is fairly good as well, with egg platter with toast, pork roll and grits, cheeseburger and fries, eggs benedict with home fries, and grilled cheese. Tuna salad large portion with fresh ingredients. The coffee is good. Bottled waters for sale, no waters included for the table. The only thing to note that wasn't all positive was seeing menu prices that were a few dollars less than what came on the bill. We assumed it was due to the menu not being updated, but then again we aren't local to the area and the possibility is there that there was an upcharge. It didn't bother us much and we made no issue of it. Cash only. read more

South Warren Street in Trenton is making an effort to get its act together. It has always had the big trees and 19th Century architecture, but until the last few years, the storefronts were often empty or lacking in attractiveness. Things have changed for the better, and it is now possible to walk down Warren and find several nice places to have a meal, drink, or even shop. Sunrise Luncheonette is one of those urban pioneers. It is a small shop with 7 or eight stools at the lunch counter, and about the same number of tables. Décor is rather Spartan, but the management makes a real effort to make you feel welcome when walking in for breakfast before 8, while the surrounding state government drivers are yet to open. I sat at the counter and watched as well known customers chatted with the counterman in friendly tones, swapping stories and jokes. Coffee was served promptly, and was about average. My Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich on a Roll was also decent and tasty. The convenience of location cannot be beat. I enjoyed being able to park on the street without using a meter until 9 am, having a pleasant breakfast only 5 minutes from court, and getting out for under $6. Trenton is actually showing some gritty charm early in the morning, and I enjoyed being part of the wake up. Sunrise's breakfasts should not be compared to suburban style diners where excess is the name of the game. No. This is a cityscape locale, where the clientele tells a different story than heard out there. Life is rougher downtown, and Sunrise Luncheonette reflects that reality. If you get off on the difference, this can be a nice way to start the day. read more

Sunrise Luncheonette - Spinach onion omelette - Diners Near Me - Trenton, New Jersey

Affordable, clean and cute diner like establishment. The owner is kind and shows great customer service every single time I order. The menu is small but standard diner food. The French toast is good, hot dog lunch meal comes with fries. They have specials as well. The eggs here are amazing. I am not sure what they do to them but they are always fluffy! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful people, good basic food, great prices. I love it! It can take a bit of time because everything is made from scratch, but be patient. read more

My GF and I just had an excellent late breakfast at this place on a casual Saturday afternoon, and we had a great experience. We accidentally discovered the place while walking down Warren St. in downtown Trenton, surveying food options. We looked at the menu in the window, and both the selection of food and the prices enticed us to try the place out! When we walked in on an early Saturday afternoon, the place was quiet. The decor looked pretty simple and straightforward but cozy, and the place looked VERY clean - I mean spotless. The place just felt really very warm and inviting. We sat at the counter ("bar") on the stools and were warmly greeted by an elderly gentleman who is probably the owner. I was feeling hungry for some breakfast food, so I ordered the buttermilk pancakes with a side of sausage and 2 sunny side eggs ($6.99) and a separate order of french toast ($3.99). My girlfriend got the eggs benedict with homefries ($5.99). The buttermilk pancakes were OUTSTANDING! That's saying a lot because I make my own pancakes, and I always get complimented on my pancakes, but even I was impressed with the big stack of thick, fluffy pancakes I got served up in this place. The sausage that I got with my pancakes was REAL, thick pork sausage, and it was out of this world!! This wasn't some Jimmy Dean links -- this sausage was the real deal, and it was browned up to absolute perfection. I will say that my sunny-side eggs were too runny, and I make much better sunny side eggs myself, but that wasn't too bad considering the overall meal and how good everything tasted together. My girlfriend complimented her eggs benedict as well -- the egg on her eggs benedict was perfectly done, she said. She thought the hollandaise sauce was a bit on the lemon-y side, but I tried it, and I personally really enjoyed it. Homefries has a real homemade taste to them, too. We haven't tried any lunch menu fare, but prices looked great, and variety looks outstanding, so I would definitely love to try something off their lunch menu next time we visit. Highly recommended for quality, value, and service! read more

Went for late breakfast with my boyfriend with high hopes. We arrived at around 11:35 on a Sunday morning with maybe 3 other tables already seated and eating. We tried ordering several items but each time, the waiter needed to go back to check and we were ultimately informed that the items were unavailable. After about 10 minutes, we were finally able to order eggs benedict, a spinach mushroom omelet, and banana french toast. We ended up having to wait until 12:35-ish to receive our food which caused us to almost miss our train at 1 pm. The food was reasonably priced and tasted good, but the wait certainly was not worth it. If I had 3 hours to spare, I might come back, but otherwise, I would find another place to get some breakfast food. read more

Friendly service but sooooooooooooooooooo slow! So slow! If you have about 2 hours or more to spend waiting for food then ok, otherwise you should pick a different place to eat. So slow. After 35 mins we left without our food bc we were told it would be longer. read more

The omelettes were ok, avoid stuffed french toasts at all costs! Staff was friendly, but anticipate a 25 min starvation window after your order. read more

I want to make sure this luncheonette keeps on ticking for many years to come so help me ensure that by patronizing this local eatery. My co-workers and I have been here a number of times for lunch and have never been disappointed. There is nothing fancy about the Sunrise -- you're going because you're hungry, want good food at a very reasonable price and a quiet place to chat with friends and co-workers. Just plain great. read more

Great place for breakfast. The people that work here are very nice. I had the $4.75 eggs, toast, potatoes and coffee. Probably one of the best values for breakfast anywhere. Home fries were quite tasty, not greasy, had some onions and peppers in them as well. The home fries were quite tasty, not greasy, had some onions and peppers in them as well. They were more like hash browns, which in my opinion is better, more room for extra flavor to be added :-) the lunch menu looks good as well as other things for breakfast, but I did not try anything. Will probably stop back to try lunch, and will probably come here everyday for breakfast while I am in town. You can tell that coffee makers are cleaned, and the coffee is very good. Moliere was also very nice. read more

Think of it as a good diner that's very inexpensive. Place is spotless. Food is very good and freshly prepared.

Great place, great variety. Service is a bit slow but still worthy. Coffee is always fresh and the owner is very friendly.

Lunch was great. so good in fact I went back twice while on a five day business trip. The pie was so good it was sold out 2 of the three days. read more

Consistently good. Great for a quick cheap meal. Service is always friendly and attentive. It gets a bit busy for lunch, and they do not have a large staff, so don't get huffy if it takes a minute. read more

Found this small luncheonette in downtown Trenton on a recent business trip and was pleasantly surprised by the food and pleasantness of the staff. The breakfast was well made with real potato home fries and great pork roll, which we hadn't had in years! It has a cozy diner atmosphere with very friendly people, very clean, and a screaming deal. Wished we could have tried their lunch because they had an extensive menu including vegetarian choices. Well worth the visit. read more

There are very few places left like this one. Sweetest employee/cook (owner?). Clean little shop. Delicious food for a steal of a deal! I had orange juice and orange French toast. My husband had an omelet, sausage, hash browns. Our bill was $10.17! This is a place that if I was a local I would go to every Saturday morning! Perfect breakfast! read more

I would give it less if I could. 45 min and they still hadn't brought the food out despite prompting. There were only 7 other folks in the restaurant. I hope you have about half your day free care to actually get food in this place. On the plus side, they had chairs. read more

The place is small, but very clean and friendly. I had breakfast there, a vegetable omelet with a side of grits and wheat toast. Service was prompt, with a cup of hot good coffee. The food came quickly, and I must say I was impressed. The omelet was made, it seems with 2 eggs, not 3, which is to my preference. The vegetables were clearly fresh and tasty, and it was about an even ratio of vegetables to egg. The omelet was not overdone, but perfectly cooked. The grits were perfectly cooked as well. The food was simple, but delicious and well priced. I look forward to going back. $6.96, plus tip. read more

Really great but inexpensive coffee. Like really great. I can taste it now. I took time out of my day to write a review for their coffee that only costs $1.50. It's good. read more

It's small and simple place, but pretty cozy, and clean. Went there for lunch and had the Brie and chutney grilled cheese which was really good! Bathroom was spic and span and the service was friendly and the price was quite reasonable! read more

The Sunrise Luncheonette was a nice, clean, simple luncheonette. There was a lunch counter and also some tables and chairs. Service was swift and friendly. My chicken Salad Wrap (you can get the chicken salad on any bread) was light and tasty and came with fresh, crisp lettuce and tomato. The platter came with pickle and cole slaw. My friend and I shared an order of french fries which were nice and crisp on the outside while soft and potatoey on the inside. The home brewed tea was a bit strong. Other beverages come in bottles. A customer who left as we entered said he enjoys the homemade soups there several times a week. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Slow service, waited 20+ mins for a grilled chicken sandwich only to be told for an extra 10 mins that was my lunch break
