A friend and I decided to grab some dinner at this local spot on a Saturday night. This location has had many lives, and this one being the newest, we thought we would try it out. Though the décor leaves much to be desired, the food definitely did not disappoint. The collar green dip is exactly what you expect, and it was very tasty! Though I would recommend a different kind of chip to dip it in because the seasoning of both the pita chips and the dip felt a little overpowering. The jerk chicken egg rolls were well seasoned to the point where you didn't need the sauce, but the sauce does add a nice subtle heat. I ordered the whole snapper which was fried to perfection and reminiscent of fried whole snapper you would get in the Caribbean. The sweet potatoes were the perfect amount of sweet and the broccoli was lightly seasoned yet still flavorful. Our server was attentive, the food came quickly, and I'd actually come back again the next time I'm in the area. read more

I have visited this establishment in the past under different names. The vibe inside is really cool laid-back the decor is really up-to-date and Modern customer service was really good from being greeted in the door to the waitstaff having us seated and to our waitress (great) so me and my daughter, we ordered appetizers. She had the Jerk chicken egg rolls. I had the oyster Rockefeller and then we ordered our entrées. my daughter had the wing flight. I had the salmon croquette with rice and green beans. There is nothing I could say bad about the food or our visit to Sunrize definitely will be a repeat customer, especially but those Jerk Egg roll's read more

Enjoyed this place on a weekend night with the girls. It was lively and karaoke had the place vibing. The drinks were okay and the food was pretty decent. It did take a while for our server to take our order and even longer for our food & drink to come out. read more

This is a lively sports bar and restaurant. We visited on a Sunday around 3pm and were warmly greeted and quickly seated. Our waitress kindly introduced herself after a moment. It was about 30 minutes before our drinks and water arrived, and about 45 minutes for our appetizer--definitely worth the wait! For our dinners, we enjoyed some outstanding fried chicken wings, delicious salmon croquettes, and the lamb chops were truly the best. All the side dishes--collard greens, red beans and rice, and macaroni and cheese--were exceptionally flavorful, with a lovely cheese pull. I'm looking forward to returning because the food truly hit the spot. Hopefully, they'll have more servers on staff soon so that customers won't have to wait as long next time. read more

Service was awesome. I had shrimp & grits, they were good. Not outstanding. Daughter loved her chicken and waffles. Great drink menu. My biggest complaint is that I had to endure watching Fox News the entire time. Turn the channel! read more

This juice lasted an entire week and was highly effective. I was looking forward to trying other menu items, but when I visited on a Saturday afternoon, there were only juices (no smoothies) and a few snacks. I hope to get back to try other options I've heard about. read more

The Fried Wings were FIRE! Some of the best wings I have had. Not greasy, crispy, and crunchy. My son loved them and asked for more! The Smoked Gouda Grits, FIRE! Delicious! The Chicken Sausage was good and the Jerk Turkey Sausage was okay. Unfortunately, the pancakes were a miss for me. They were a little stiff, not light and fluffy, but crisp. The Salmon Croquettes were a wee bit too salty for my taste, but it could have been the coating and the Hash browns were also delicious. Overall, a good meal with some minor quirks. As for the atmosphere, the decor is decent, but the choice in music was a bit much. Definitely for a MUCH YOUNGER AUDIENCE. Sadly at 11:00 AM I do not want to hear music that wreaks of sexual verbiage such as eating pu$$y and sucking d*ck. Not to mention that I don't allow my 15 year old son to listen to that type of music. He's autistic and covered his ears. There were also women there who were much older than me, so it was a bit unsettling. Would I return for the food? Yes. For the musical atmosphere? No. read more

I have observed numerous advertisements showcasing appetizing food. Nevertheless, upon visiting, our order was inaccurately processed. The server admitted to overlooking one of the orders and informed us that the management would not remove the item from the bill, despite it not being served. The quality of the wings was horrible. The lack of flavor in the sauce or seasoning made them unappetizing. Additionally, the mac & cheese lacked taste and seemed overpriced considering we ordered two drinks and two meals, that totaled $148.24 yet were charged for a third meal due to the server's error. The Dano wings were particularly disappointing. We will Never Return. read more

Attended a birthday celebration here in 2/4/26. The atmosphere is very loud, the waitress barely understood my order without repeating it a couple of times. I ordered the shrimp habachi. The waitress brought me the salmon which was clearly my order. Did I mention that the mis music was very loud matching club level. the birthday person ordered the oysters, the wings flight, Mac& cheese along with a side of yams. The oysters were under cooked as well as the wings. The manure looks good but looks can be deceiving. Something on the menu was over priced for the amount of good you get. Drinks were infused with THC if that's your preference. I don't think I'll be back. Waitress has much attitude and over charged me for my meal. I try to patronage black owned businesses but I'm always disappointed by the service and menus options. They should pay attention to their customer reviews. This venue definitely appeals to the younger generation (30 and under). Respectfully a Dissatisfied patron. read more

This was my first time trying this place and omgggg the food was so good! Will definitely be going back soon!

Great food. Great service I will be going back. Loved the Shimp & Grits!!!!!! I will bring friends.

I went to sunrise on Sunday and I was not happy. When you walk in the music is very loud just like a night club and I was ready to go then but I was with a friend. I will say the food is very good I would get it as a call in order next time but the service was not good it took 2 hours to get our food I wanted to just pay for my drink and leave. They have to do better when with the length of time it takes to bring food out. read more

(Sunrise-Sunset/ring road location) 1st off I will Say having mixed reviews, the food was amazingly delicious! It came out hot and I'd say worth all the other things endured! Not sure how we got appetizers and food ordered, but our main dishes/dinner came out way before our appetizers., but only 1 of the appetizers came out the salmon bites never made it to the table , then after a while we told them to forget it! I think because a min 18% gratuity is added on the bill, the waitress was not really caring about the fact that she didn't give us her name, never found out either. Ok so the back story now: celebrating hubby bday the day before , (Friday night) had to make a reservation , we did for 9 arrived and was seated at 8:55pm. Our server or anyone ever came to our table .; until eye contact was given and she came and told us she'll be right with us while taking orders from her major party of a bday celebration of 20+ folks that weren't all seated at the same time., whom also arrived at various times as well! I nodded to her, that i acknowledged her acknowledging us! All this after waiting for 30 + mins without so much as a greeting or water! She then comes out with multiple employees and sparklers and signs to wish the large party a happy bday! Why wouldn't you wait til after atleast getting us water and introducing yourself first! She took another 15 mins tending to her large party l, before I got up to tell someone that they clearly need another waiter/server in that area and to allow her to tend to that party! They 15-20 mins later she comes apologized for the wait and takes our order for everything at once (our choice) because who knows when she'd return! She brought us water 5-10 mins later. She was kind and all but, was doing to much, I agree with the other yelpers review, that it's not the kind of place for reservations cause it turned into a club scene just how Tilly's was before they opened up, I will Say we love sunrize cafe on Sibley and we ate the breakfast /brunch often and thought we'd try this out, esp supporting black owned! But they have a lot of work to do, I would go back but at less busier times or days. The best that I can say is that the food was worth the agony atleast for us this time!i read more

Doesn't have the best location or store front but the food was decent. I ordered the wings and hibachi rice. The rice was a little salty from the sauce. The wings were good. The second order was the hibachi shrimp and rice it was good. This establishment is a CBD infused so I was sure to let them know not to include. read more

This place has now become a traditional destination! A must! We travel to Chicago often and found this jewel. The customer service was awesome. Our server didn't miss a beat! Walking in gave an old time restaurant feeling. One you would enjoy with friends and family. The decor was calming and really set the tone for comfort. Lastly but not least the food was AMAZING! There was not a crumb left behind. We even tried some infused items. I would recommend anyone traveling towards the surrounding Chicago area don't pass this place up! read more

The place is beautiful! The food is absolutely amazing! This is a beautiful Black owned establishment! My only complaint is they should do better with carry-out orders. I had an appetizer and it was a 30-40 minute wait. I felt like they don't pay as much attention to the people waiting on to-go orders. I attempted to talk to one waitress and she had a stank attitude! Worst part is after that long wait, MY FOOD WAS BARELY WARM! I wouldn't carry out again!!!! read more

Visited on Saturday, Nov 8th. This was the first time at this new location and I was disappointed. Ordered Lobster and grits only to be told they don't serve that anymore even though it's on the menu. Then decided on shrimp and grits with an order of salmon croquettes. The croquettes were burnt and soooo salty that I couldn't eat them. Our waitress was amazing and accommodating but it wasn't the same as they were when they were on Sibley. read more

when for brunch was my first time there the breakfast skillet was TRASH it was over cooked and had a burned like taste the jerk rolls were good they were a bit spicy but were good ... the waitress was terrible she didn't come and check on us not even once so of course she missed out on her tip ; the person who helped was someone from the kitchen. the place is nice and pretty big and the music wasn't too loud. read more

Food - Fried Green Tomatoes with Ceviche was overcooked, corn bread was overcooked and dry, salmon croquettes was overcooked, catfish was overcooked, Mac and cheese was dry and flavorless. This is NOT the place to go to if you want good food. However, the ambiance, crowd, music / DJ was fantastic hence this is the spot for some good music and drinks. I'm definitely leaving disappointed read more

I will never forget the amazing experience I had last week. My husband always recommended this place but he out did himself with this one. First off our waitress Shay! Was not only punctual when greeting the table but her menu knowledge was top tier. She recommended these jerk egg rolls. OMG! I'm definitely coming back just for her and a good vibe. read more

I'm not impressed! Food wasn't all of that, staff seem a bit confused on what time is breakfast/lunch or brunch!

Went there last night (03/13/2026) for a birthday party. I will start by saying the food was good. However, because the 18% gratuity is already added to the bill, it appeared the wait staff did not care about the quality of service. The young lady never told us her name. When asked about the types of tequila and vodka the young lady went and got a drink menu; that is not what we asked for. Then when my friend asked again what kind of vodka they had because it's not on the drink menu as the drink menu has mixed drinks listed, she got a little smart at the mouth. We ordered the pick 3 with 2 drinks and the bill was $70, rounding up. Now, the price isn't not the issue, my issue is, I was never given a receipt showing the charges BEFORE paying nor did I receive a receipt AFTER paying. I literally had to keep asking for my receipt. After about an hour or so of not getting my receipt, the young lady goes and tells the lady whose party it was that I was, I guess getting on her nerves. So, the birthday lady comes and tells me she works there too and she picked her to work her party to make the money and to be patient. I told the lady I get it you want your friend to make the money, but once my meal is paid for I need my receipt and should've had one before I paid to show the breakdown of my order. Not professional at all! This place is the old Tilly's and they still have a lot of young folks coming in to party. They charge to get in that place after a certain time. I will never go back there! read more

Soooo I went to Sunrize or Sunset or whatever it is in Calumet City yesterday, the old Tilly's. I made reservations...I don't know why, it's not even that type of place. I should've turned around when I had to get my purse ravaged through by security and then pat down. I AINT HER! Very DEGRADING! But I wanted to try their red snapper. Waitress Winter was very professional and nice. Took approx 20 minutes just to get water..... leave Takada just leave....nope we waited. Ordered appetizers that took another 25 minutes. The wings and collard green dip were tasty and fresh. The drinks came out in a plastic 6 oz cup with a big flower and were room temperature and tasted like NyQuil. Another 45 minutes and the red snapper came out FAWKIN COLD, the Mac and cheese was more like Mac and if there was cheese it was too cold to tell, the mashed potatoes were like Chunky potatoes and were cold. Winter said it was their soft opening, and the kitchen was short staffed . I said Nope ITS A HARD CLOSING FOR ME! IF YOU EVER PLAN ON GOING, EAT AND DRINK BEFORE YOU GO AND HAVE NO EXPECTATIONS!!!! BTW I WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANAGER WAS TOO BUSY TO COME OUT. read more

I won't be returning to Sunrize Cafe in Cal City. They done wasted my time and lied in my face. I get all the way up the and the owner Lady C, is "out of town" and her husband is there. He says they don't replace meals and offers a cup of sauce with nothing to put it on. So they made my order wrong yesterday, promised to fix it then changed there mind when I got back up here. Then I get the sauce and it's labeled wrong. On their website I selected and paid for 100mg they give me a cup clearly labeled 50mg and said well the website is wrong. For the food to be only standard. I would rather go somewhere that keeps there word and sales accurately especially when talking about infused products. I want what I paid for. I wasted my time and money going up here twice. I will never come here again!! Very very very bad business! read more

I can't leave a review about their food because they never open!!! Please change your hours of business If you're not going to be open at the times you have listed read more
