On our drive home from camping at Seminole Canyon SP, we were starving and needed some food. Found this place and heard the chicken fried steak was the meal to get at this little place. Walked in and enjoyed a seat by the window. Not much vegetarian options for my friend, but his son got a double burger and I got the chicken fried steak. My friend didn't think I could eat it all and after the first bite, it was challenge accepted. Got to talking to the waiter and he mentioned they buy their meat locally and you could tell it was a good piece battered and fried. I got 2 sunny side eggs with it to soak up the plate and I do have to say this was the best CFS that I have had in a long time. I also got a Menudo to go as I was eating, but they forgot to put the order in and in the rush, the top lid cracked and it leaked out on way home. This was a bummer, since I was hoping to have it the next day before work. Besides this mess, I really recommend this place. read more

Driving through Uvalde and I am so glad we stopped at Sunrise. The food and service were exceptional. The buttermilk pie was as good as my grandmother's. Every plate was delicious and, clearly, made with love and family recipes. Fresh and high quality ingredients. An absolute treat and a Texas treasure in a historical building. read more

Great breakfast restaurant! I stopped by Uvalde on my way to visit my brother and his family in Houston. Paid my respects to the Uvalde Robb Elementary Memorial and stopped in for breakfast. The coffee was hot and delicious and the friendly staff recommended the Country Boy platter (eggs, sausage gravy biscuits, and hashbrowns) and it was delicious. But most of all, the diner is warm and inviting and made a stranger feel at home. Highly recommend Sunrise Restaurant! read more

Delicious food and great service! Always nice atmosphere. Enjoy the hometown vibes! read more

We dropped in on our way through town. We tried the Cruzzer Special and pancake and eggs. The cruzzer special is essentially machaca and it's absolutely delicious, the tortillas served with it are fresh. I highly recommend this order. My kid seemed to enjoy the pancake plate . The fresh green salsa was delicious . This place took a little time, I think they are short staffed. But other than how long it took, absolutely recommend a stop in for breakfast. read more

Sunrise restaurant - The epic chicken fried steak with crinkle cut fries and toasted buttered bread. - American Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

We were traveling to Big Bend with two other couples. The plan was to stop at a place the other couples were fond of, but it was closed. I don't know how the lead car came up with this place, but it was a good choice. I had the migas plate. It was everything you would expect in a migas plate. I also had coffee which was very good. The other five people with me ordered a variety of other things. They all seemed happy with their food. read more

Very Local, everyone knows everyone. The food and the service top notch. We had the pleasure of being waited on by the owner and Ms Rosemary is a gem. I ordered off the à la carte menu and she built exactly what I was looking for. Coffee is hot, breakfast was superb, Mandy the down home ambiance is great. If you live here what a jewel if you are passing through make sure you stop for breakfast. read more

Couldn't find a menu online anywhere to order over the phone. I really wanted poached eggs like in some of these pictures but when I called about it, they had no idea what I was talking about so I'm not sure if these might be old pictures. Asked for where I can find a menu online and they directed me to someone's private Facebook page that still had no menu. read more

We eat here often and are never disappointed! Wonderful food and fast efficient and friendly staff every time. Great prices for the meals as well. read more

Sunrise restaurant - Big boy breakfast - American Near Me - Uvalde, Texas

The last time we were there they charged my mom for something that should have been free. They are very rude the owners and waitress.

The food was okay. The waitress was nice. We had chicken fried steak and a hamburger and fries, along with onion rings. We enjoyed the decor of the flag and nice wool blankets, and Christmas lights. The issue was cleanliness. Employees sneezed while filling up the individual sauce cups. They had no masks on. The ketchup containers were put back in the fridge but not disinfected or wiped down even first. The waitress also didn't disinfect the tables, but just wiped them down with the same rag used on other tables with no disinfectant spray. read more

Daily lunch specials. I had chicken fried chicken breast, mashed potatoes and salad, with tea. It was great. But they close at 2 pm. Definitely would eat here again. read more

We were driving through Uvalde and decided to stop for lunch at the Sunrise Cafe. So glad we did. The cafe is clean and neat. The staff is very friendly and the food was very good. I had a lunch special...chicken fried steak that came with yummy green beans, mashed potatoes, a roll and a piece of chocolate cake. Everything tasted good and homemade. My husband had the Mexican plate which he said was okay but the tortillas were very good. I would stop here again. read more

I had the Farmers Omelet. It comes with bacon, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes & cheese. I got mine without the cheese. There was bacon in every bite and abundant vegetables. The scoop of potatoes looked a little small on the plate, but it really was the right amount. They were about 1/2" cubes, with a nice chewy texture outside and soft inside, just how I like them. Toast was lightly browned without any butter on it, making it perfect. It was a good amount of food. My wife had the 2 eggs with a pancake and sausage patties. Her sunny-side-up eggs were cooked to perfection with firm whites and runny yellows. The pancake was a generous size, and the 2 sausage patties were browned perfectly. The waitress was friendly and attentive, checking with us every time she walked by. 15 tables, about 1/3 full, with 2 waitresses. Kelly was the only female customer when we arrived, the rest were working men. A pair of ladies arrived after a little while and took their own table. The restroom is just a single toilet, unisex, old and worn, but spotlessly cleaned with plenty of paper towels and soap for your hands. This was a good experience, and we will definitely return if we come through Uvalde again. They did have a salad bar (empty now as we are part of the breakfast crowd on a Wednesday morning). They have 2 daily specials for lunch written on the white board and the Soup of the Day says Creamy Chicken Vegetable - makes me wish we were staying for lunch, too! Sign on the front window says "No cameras or recording devices." Tho, with food this good, they should take down the sign! read more

Great place with good food! We stopped here on our way back to Houston and had a great meal. I had the lunch special which was Fried Fish that day and my husband had the soup and salad buffet.

Glad we stopped here! 2 of us had the fried chicken breast and 2 of us had the chopped steak lunch specials, which came with mashed potatoes, green beans, a drink and dessert!
