the food here is so dry I couldn't even eat my food, never had that at a breakfast place in Denver before. the bacon was almost insultingly gross as well as potatoes undercooked but they get 5 stars because staff is awesome and dealt with the situation in a professional and friendly manner , and were very courteous to me. that is what truly matters They may have better food at other times and people may enjoy it here, but I will not be back as I don't like to gamble with my breakfast read more

The star rating on this restaurant had me a little worried, but we took a chance and I'm so glad we did! The eggs were perfectly salted and the potatoes tasted like they were freshly cut, not from a bag. We sat at the bar and Denise made us feel like regulars. Will be coming here again! read more

Been coming here for 20 years and have always had a good experience. Unfortunately today we got completely ignored for 30 minutes. We sat in the back near the restroom and were completely forgotten. I asked the waitress if we could get service and got completely ignored. Very strange. I will not be returning. read more

Over the years I've heard a advertising spot on KOA radio about this local diner. They have 3 locations, 2 in Lakewood and 1 on West 38th in Wheat Ridge. Since I going to recycling afterwards, the closest was in Wheat Ridge. Classic diner with old style knotty pine walls and simple tables. Nice large menu for breakfast and lunch. They are open 630am-2pm daily. I was served by Chris. He brought a jug of fresh water with a lemon slice with the menu. I started with a Chai Latte which included a free refill for $ 3.69; I got the Lumbre Scrambled with scrambled eggs & sausage, topped with vegetarian green chili and a dollop of sour cream. It included a side of breakfast potatoes and a well toasted buttered English muffin with enough jam to liberally cover the muffin slices. All for $14.49 + a $1 egg surcharge (see cute poster). The entree was a bit spicy from the sausage & green chili. Quick prompt service. Chris waited till I finished the first Chai before bringing the free refill. I tipped him $4, a good tasty breakfast for under $25. I noticed good prices for pancakes and French toast. read more

The four stars are mainly for the service, our server was a rockstar. She was so nice and helpful, we were very well taken care of. The food was just ok, diner food. The gravy was very starchy, needed to be cooked more. My eggs were perfect, but they only baste. No poached eggs here. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while so decided to come here with my boyfriend for some breakfast. Well it was technically brunch by the time we went. I will say I judged the looks of the place a bit snobbish because it's not the nicest looking. The prices for the regular menu was higher than I thought. Aside from that the service was quick and friendly, it wasn't really busy on a Saturday at 1pm. I decided to get the cheese omlete with mushrooms and onions. It also comes with potatoes and english muffins. Food came quickly after we ordered, big portions overall. The omlete was fluffy and flavorful, I wish the potatoes had onions and cheese on them but they were still seasoned right. Oh and the jam that came with the meal was legit. I wish I wrote down the name of the brand they said it was similiar too. Also the server gave my boyfriend the whole pot of coffee when he ordered one cup which was nice. They do have some good early bird specials during the week before 9am if you're an early riser. Overall not a bad place for a quick hearty breakfast. read more

Sunrise Sunset - Cheese , Mushroom, onion omlete with potatoes and english muffin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Spring storm brought down branches and knocked out the power. Sounds like a perfect reason to go out to breakfast. We have enjoyed Sunrise Sunset over the years. There was plenty of seating and no wait. ample parking too. They have a nice variety of breakfast selections. Both kids had their 2+2+2. 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 of your choice of meat. I have a bacon kid and a sausage kid. Both were happy. My husband had the Mario Skillet. The skillet comes out hot on a plate. His had country potatoes with green onions, green chiles, black beans, smothered in green chili and cheese with two basted eggs. He enjoyed every bite. I had the Country Skillet. It had their potatoes topped with diced link sausage, cheese blend and country sausage gravy topped with two basted eggs. Delicious. Both skillets came with an English muffin and jam. I am the caffeinated member of the family. Here they bring your cup full and leave a pot on the table. Our family mantra is, "a caffeinated mother is a happy family." I was happy by the end of breakfast. We will be back. read more

AMAZING FOOD! Absolutely delicious all around. Every dish was a hit, my personal favorite being the Country Sunrise skillet. The sausage gravy was possibly the best I have ever had. Pricing was more than fair for the large portions. The omelet was fluffy and tasty and the burger was terrific as well. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

Everything is great at Sunrise Sunset. The service, food and atmosphere are all what I love about breakfast.

This is the greasy spoon breakfast you've been searching for. Amazing food (huge menu with a ton of options), awesome service. We got one of the skillets and the corned beef hash burrito style, plus some blueberry pancakes. We will definitely be back!! read more

Got the 2x2x2 with French toast. I personally don't like French toast, but my husband said it was delicious. Bacon was too crispy for me, but again my husband enjoy it. Eggs were great! Buttery and salty just like I like them. I also got regular ol black coffee. I get it... crappy diner coffee is a thing. But this coffee seemed a little more crappy than usual diner coffee. Great service. The waitress checked on us frequently and was very nice. read more

If you're looking for top notch service and a great breakfast, this is the place for you. This local hole in the wall establishment is everything you want in a breakfast place and the food was amazing! They have a great variety on the menu to satisfy any craving. I always like to find these types of places when I travel because the atmosphere can't be beat. Even though we were outsiders, we were given the same top tier service that the regulars receive. One thing I was very impressed by was the extra effort by the staff to ensure one of their patrons in a wheelchair had a comfortable and accessible table. It was a small dining area and the ability to look out for their customers just shows how much they care about their patrons. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely return. read more

Me and my family on vacation from California were looking for a family friendly place Very friendly staff and great tasty food Definitely coming back before we leave Colorado read more

My family and I stopped by around brunch & after observing the rush , we thought it was a good place to eat given how full it was . We waited for a table, but the bar became open with seats so we decided to sit there instead, and boy did we get some really dirty looks from an older woman with curly hair. We were handed some menus and she left , we had to wait a few min to ask for some drinks and then she was gone again, busy talking to what looked like the restaurants regulars , given she hugged them and spent some time talking to them. It was our first time there , my husband had a question about the menu, when she finally decided to walk back towards the bar , she asked if we were ready, my husband said, "I have-" she cut him off by rudely rolling her eyes and saying "ugh no ok" , drank her water and took off. Didn't bother to hear the question or help us . It's understandable for restaurants to have a decent relationship with recurring customers, but to treat new people like they don't matter and wasting your time is god awful. I will never recommend this location to anyone. Not for the poor customer service this woman showed and acting surprised, as well as not caring if the restaurant lost money. Treat everyone with the respect , you give you regulars read more

Best breakfast I've ever had in my life! Here on vacation and just drove to the nearest breakfast place and no regrets.My family and I loved every single dish we got! read more

I've always loved this spot. The staff is super friendly and the food is always delicious. I ordered the 2+2+2 and the eggs were nice and fluffy the bacon nice and crispy and the pancakes were perfect. I also got to try one of their vegetarian skillets. It was called Marios Sunshine skillet and I never would've guessed it was vegetarian it was delicious and super flavorful! read more

Fiesta Grande at Sunrise Sunset is just one of the very best Diner breakfasts I've ever had! Hits so many of my "Diner breakfast" buttons, Mexican cravings, and just plain happy tastebud buttons! I've loved little Diners from Maine to California, but the Fiesta Grande makes Sunrise Sunset one of my all-time favorites, and (lucky me!) this meal is literally a few blocks from me in Wheat Ridge! Top notch, great staff and service, and highly recommended! read more

You'd think it would be easy to substitute fries or tomatoes for the home fries. It isnt. Not even when the simple breakfast costs $12. It's a take-it-or-leave-it it type restaurant. And expensive. Too expensive for the quality and atmosphere. read more

Breakfast is decent, but the pancake is excellent and flavorful. My finance is a not a problem, but the prices for decent food were pretty steep. We used to frequent the now closed 20th Street Cafe in Downtown Denver where the breakfast plates were flavorful and excellent for about 25% less. read more

Our waitress was very helpful, sweet and just about as perfect as a waitress can get. She did not make us feel rushed at all which was great because we had people staggering in from our table. Let's get to the food....it was so delicious. I just love breakfast in Colorado it's always great. We had the corned beef hash. It was not the crap out of a can, it was soooo delicious. I can't remember the names of the other two meals bit they looked so good. One was a benedict and she ordered a side of lemon for it. I had one bite and said I'm coming back tomorrow for that. Basically you can't go wrong with this place at all. The building isn't trendy like all the up and coming brunch spots around but you can get in and sit easily, service is excellent and food is nothing but perfect. read more

Very disappointed have been eating at this restaurant since it used to be called the Lariat back in the day . Was not feeling to well wanted to order take out. Was told sorry not on Sundays between 9 and 12. Can not believe they would tell a paying customer we don't want your business, very unprofessional in my opinion. Called Fran's Café down the block they took care of me. Will make sure and take my business down the block from now on. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED :( I was a little weary when our food came out a little too fast. Bacon was pre-cooked and cold, biscuits were actually frozen in middle. Pancakes were very sad. Too pricey for bad food. Will not return to this not so good breakfast place. read more

Its clean and cozy and the food, standard breakfast fare, is solid. I don't like that they have that heavy handed green-chili-on-everything Denver thing. Then again, it is a coffee shop and it is Denver. Expecting a delicate touch or sophisticated palate wouldn't be too fair. The server was forgetful but friendly. The menu unnecessarily complicated. But I'd come back for bacon and eggs. Points for putting a water pitcher and coffee pot on the table. read more

My husband just ordered off postmates. We're vegetarian and ordered 2 items with "vegetarian" in the name. Our Vegetarian Sunshine Skillet had (a large amount) of HAM throughout. This is so extremely disappointing. How do you miss the word vegetarian and how do you not take dietary restrictions seriously. read more

Best corned beef hash in Denver. They also offer early bird specials until 8:30. Friendly and fast service.

Went for brunch with my great grandma who goes regularly. They knew her by name and we're all so nive! They were super busy and swamped but still amazing service and so friendly. Plus the food was TASTY! read more

No thank you. -I got the vegetarian eggs benedict thinking it would be a least a TAD healthier than the meat version. The vegetables seemed fresh, but they were COVERED in cheese. I love cheese, not on a benedict. -Their hollandaise sauce tasted like it was straight from a package mixed with some water. There was so much of this goop on my plate that the English muffins were soggy underneath. -They don't poach the eggs, they baste them. I asked for them "over medium" but the yolks were complete liquid. I finished less than a third of what was on my plate. When a dish like this costs $10 I would MUCH rather fork over another buck or two at Snooze and wait 20 minutes. No less than 5 minutes after we left, my fiance and I were complaining of stomach aches. We had to book it home.... I won't be returning. read more

This is my second time trying this restaurant . There partners with my United Card so I earn miles eating here. First time I was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to the quality or service. This time I'm definitely paying attention. I was greeted by friendly staff. I ordered the 2+2+2 (2 eggs, 2 cakes, 2 bacon ) and added Blueberries to my pancakes. They give you these cool little pitchers with water which is brilliant . My food came out at reasonable time and most importantly my eggs were nice and warm ( not room temperature) . My Blueberry pancakes were really good with berries in the batter and on top. Service was good . Enjoyed my breakfast very much, I think I'll eat here more often. I only gave 3 stars because I think they could do a little better. It would be 3.5 almost 4. read more

Good comforting food and a calm atmosphere. I would for sure come again. Good place for family :)

We go to this restaurant every Friday and Love everything about this place. We get the Mario's and a side of pancakes. Both fantastic, but their PANCAKES are some of the BEST ANYWHERE! 100% hands down the BEST. Go for the skillets and leave loving the pancakes. The staff is GREAT and the place is CLEAN! See you Friday! read more

I rarely eat here because it is SO SO SO expensive! Expect to pay between $35-$40 just for BREAKFAST for TWO!!!!!!! The food is good but that pricing is just too high for me. The waiters are always so kind and helpful. Too bad, I truly believe this place would have more business if it wasn't for the very high prices. read more

If you like comfort food, then you will almost certainly find something to love at Sunrise Sunset. If you're not into comfort food, then Yelp may not be right for you. I ate here for breakfast this morning, and after getting my fill of homestyle cooking, I realized I have yet to review this, one of the crowning jewels in Highlands cookin'. After giving loyal patronage to this blessed breakfast bungalow for the three years and counting, it's time to give credit where credit is due. Dear Sunrise Sunset: thanks for making this recovering starving college student a lot more fulfilled. My roommates and I make it into Sunrise Sunset every month or two, usually for a weekend breakfast. The only reason we don't frequent it more often is probably the part of our lizardbrains that is averse to the image of a distended belly and thunderthighs. Yes, their dishes are a little slick with grease. But please, don't let the Kashi commercials fool you, folks: this is the way firstmeal is SUPPOSED to be. The menu selection is sumptuous and just a little oddball, in a wonderfully down-home way. Their pancakes are enormous and fluffy, the bacon is cooked to perfection, and their homemade jam puts Smuckers to shame. My personal favorite are their 'Sunshines', the restaurant's trademark. Skillets comprised of fried potatoes, a specialized theme (e.g. country gravy, Italian sausage and marinara, fresh veggies, etc.), and topped with basted eggs, there's one for everybody. They're also the best hangover cure known to man. Mark my words: next time you feel Sunday morning coming down, cut it to the chase and order up a Sunshine to hit the spot. The food at Sunrise Sunset keeps me happy, but the service keeps me coming back. The waitstaff at this place hasn't changed much since I started coming in a few years ago, and I wouldn't have it any other way. These waitresses are of the breed that isn't afraid to call you 'hon' and mean it. Even during a breakfast rush, they're assuredly friendly, attentive, and QUICK on their game. Reminds me of a nicer version of Mayberry...simply put, even if I have to wait a few minutes for a table (not a rare occurrence on a weekend morning), I always feel at home by the time I'm in my seat. While I could rant and rave about why Sunrise Sunset is high on my list of 'last menu' restaurants, it's not without its downsides. This location isn't vary spacious, so sometimes you have to wait for a booth to open up--well worth your patience, though. And their cuisine, while heavenly, can carry some hellacious side effects, including the desire to not eat again for the duration of the day, and an urgent trip to the commode soon after consumption. Their incendiary 'Lumbre' menu is especially persistent on the latter offense. I guess there is a price to pay for food this authentically homemade... Nevertheless, the bottom line is this: breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and Sunrise Sunset is my favorite breakfast-themed restaurant, hands-down. Their Sunshines are so damned flavor-packed, I feel guilty for sampling the rest of their menu so rarely (I can't even imagine eating lunch here, and yet the burgers look delicious!). Have a look at the menu--good luck finding something unappealing--and let the staff take care of the rest. If it's the weekend, chances are you earned the siesta, and Sunrise Sunset is more than happy to accomodate. read more

Ironically, Sunrise Sunset does not stay open till sunset. Think, breakfast and lunch. They do however open very early to accommodate Wheat Ridge's aging retirees who get up at 6am to drink coffee and despair over the state of "kids these days" and "grandkids these days" and "great-grandkids these days." To keep those aging tickers ticking, Sunrise Sunset cooks all of their Colorado-produced eggs in water by basting them. The result is a perfectly cooked egg however you order it. I recommend you try the vegetarian benedict or the black bean breakfast burrito with green chili. You can't go wrong because everything on the menu is good, affordable, and served quickly by a fantastic server. So go, drink coffee, and complain all you want. But you won't be complaining about the food, which is quite good. read more

I would almost always choose the (more) independent restaurant to a big chain, but honestly, Denny's has Sunrise Sunset beat. When I actually manage to get out of bed early enough to eat breakfast, it's because I had to, so I don't want to waste a lot of time eating. Unfortunately, Sunrise simply does not give you this choice. Service is painfully slow and I'm pretty sure that the owners went to Denny's, IHOP, and Village Inn and then did their best to copy the dishes without actually eating them to see what they should taste like. Very disappointing. read more
