1st time and worth it! The food and service was great! From breakfast sandwiches/ omelets to lunch.

Not sure if takeout is an issue for this place but our food was very subpar. Pancakes are nowhere near light and fluffy; they're very dense and tough, eggs were just that and the "hot chocolate" is pure water. Also added utensils and condiments and got 3 pats of butter, 2 things of syrup (despite me requesting extra syrup in the notes since we ordered 2 orders of pancakes), no salt/pepper packets or ketchup. So I'm confused as to what they think condiments are since they provided none besides what comes with the pancakes ordered. Overall waste of money unfortunately. read more

Fresh, quality service , and great price. I stopped here after my 3 mile run to get breakfast before I head to work. I ordered what I thought was going to be a platter and it turned out to be a sandwich (misread the menu), but it was so good and satisfying. I will definitely be back to try more from the menu. The inside was clean and the staff was very nice. Also ordered a short stack of pancakes read more

We really enjoyed our breakfast here. This is a very small diner with bagel and tables so fair warning. Parking is also a nightmare so be prepared. We sat at the bar since there were no tables available. We were attended promptly and our server was super nice. Both my friend and I ordered the same breakfast and we loved it. The service was quick and efficient. They also pack almost 1200 school lunches daily so it was cool to see them in action. read more

The place is small but the service is great, quiet and friendly, good for breakfast, try it, you won't be sorry.

The staff was both professional and friendly. The food was tasty and of great value. It seems to be a local gathering place and I fully understand why. read more

Found this gem looking for "diners near me"on the way home from NYC to Philly. My entire family loved everything about it. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and (I cannot stress this enough) DELICIOUS food in generous portions. You cannot go wrong when you come here for breakfast or lunch. read more

First time visiting Sunshine Grill. Food came out quickly and prepared to perfection. Staff was very friendly and treated me as I was a regular. I would definitely be back and highly recommend Sunshine Grill. read more

I had to go to the DMV nearby early in the morning so I was definitely going to treat myself to a greasy breakfast afterwards. That's when I found Sunshine Grill & Deli. I placed an order via Seamless for The Hog (pork roll, hash brown patty, egg and cheese) and it was ready for pickup before the quoted time. It was a 45 minute drive back home but it held up pretty well, and wasn't something a toaster oven couldn't fix. I opted for wheat bread (I would have wanted a roll but I was trying to be at least a LITTLE bit healthy) and it was great. The meat to cheese to egg ratio was perfect (although the wheat bread didn't hold it very well, which is usually why I get a roll - but my fault). The hash brown was a little bit lost in there because it got soggy so next time I would probably either eat it immediately, or get one on the side. Will definitely come back to try some non-breakfast items one day when I feel like I need another cheat day. read more

Sunshine Grill - The Hog Sandwich Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I reluctantly downgrade my rating to 4 stars because lately I've noticed a trend of my order notes either not being read or disregarded. I work from home and always place my orders on their website for convenience and speed on pickup. 3 out of 5 of my most recent visits had issues that relate to specific instructions not being adhered to. If I ask for cheddar cheese on a sandwich they give me American. If I say no marinara on sandwich, I still get it. When I ordered onion rings today they gave me waffle fries instead (but no heads up). The least they could do is call me if there's an issue making the order to my specs online, but they chose to make these decisions without involving me - the customer. read more

Found this gem online looking for breakfast options near our hotel. We were immediately greeted by friendly people and served good coffee (I usually hate "diner" type coffee, but this was tasty.) I ordered a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich and my friend ordered a short stack of pancakes. Both came out quickly and the cook even called over to ask if we needed more syrup (they already had given us plenty). The portions were large and filling. We were checked in on and had coffee topped off several times. I loved that I could pay directly through my phone with the QR code. The only thing I found annoying was the "Let's Go Brandon" mask hanging up. Yes, I know every one is absolutely allowed to have their own political views, but I wish it wasn't necessary to announce in your place of business. I just want to eat and feel welcome. read more

I used to come here in the late 80's. Great place for breakfast and lunch. David, the owner was so attentive. In reading the review you can tell it still has the same vibe. I must go back soon. read more

Small Edison gem. You will ride right by it sitting on the corner bright yellow small building. Off street parking can get fill quickly if you come at the wrong time. The staff is welcoming and friendly. And patient while you looking at all the choices they offer. As I am looking locals enter for their usual to go. I ordered and opted to utilize the outdoor seating area with the nice early Sat breeze. I ordered the italian sausage omelet with potatoes and short stack of french toast. The portion is huge and I could not finish. The french toast was very good. The omelet was really on point. Lots of sausage and good taste. The potatoes, I had to refrain myself from eating them all. So much goodness and I wanted to eat them all at once. But to big of portion. Thanks yelp for the recommendation. Usually after trying a place in my collection I usually delete them. This place is a keepsake to return too. read more

We were in the area 4 days and went here twice - it was so good!!! First day we got breakfast items - very generous portions and tasty! 2nd time was for lunch. Tuna wrap and a turkey bacon wrap, again very impressed. If you order online, you get 10% off. We paid cash both times and they have another 10% off for that! Just a super small place with a counter and a few tables to eat. You can see the kitchen and watch the magic happen. Def check them out! read more

I only get to experience this place once a year around this time due to me having to work a huge convention that takes place maybe 6 min from Sunshine Grill.

Food, both taste and portions, is really solid. Prices are very fair and the service is good. Not sure what else you could ask for!

Just got in for lunch. We ordered black bean burger, fat tony club sandwich and taco salad. Also, Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla milkshakes. Black bean burger, vegan, first time to try it. Kinda bland, I'm disappointed. Club sandwich had turkey, ham and gyro with veggies, tasty. Taco salad serving is big with fresh veggies with ground beef, delicious. We also ordered cheese fries to go, greasy but tasty. Mom and Pop owned business. Kinda tight, with five tables for dine in, and seven bar stool top counter seats. Server is helpful and nice. Separate Men and Women's bathroom. No changing table, it's tight. Open early for breakfast and lunch. Close at 4 pm, daily. read more

Looked on yelp for a breakfast spot and saw this place. Had ordered the meat lovers omelette and bacon and cheese loaded home fries. The portion was generous and tasted good. It's a busy and small spot but the service was good still. Only issue was the the order did take a little longer than expected and can be a bit cramped if filled to capacity I would think. Overall though a good experience. read more

I am on the fence with this place. This is a hole in the wall grill with greasy greasy food and generally unhealthy options. They take pride in items like a cardiac arrest sandwich. But they do do what they do well. Our waitress was extremely attentive to us. Our food was made to order, fresh but like I said it was greasy. I don't think I will go back because I generally appreciate healthier food options. But for what its worth, it is worth a visit. read more

Sunshine Grill - Breakfast platter, $5.99 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Such a cute little place! The server was very sweet and friendly. She provided amazing service! We got the Greek omelette with turkey bacon and the hangover burger. The omelette was a little watery but it was delicious, too bad the turkey bacon was burnt to a crisp so I didn't really get to enjoy it. The hangover was interesting made with pork rolls and the sunny side egg made it all the better. Overall the food was good and the service was spot on. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The Sunshine Grill on Amboy Avenue, Edison, NJ, is that bright yellow building that reflects the nature of the business within. Showing its age from the mid-20th Century, it is a typical luncheonette, with a six stool counter and about ten tables full of locals getting their fill of American cuisine from pancakes to burgers, all done on the small kitchen grill hidden from view to all but us spinner sitters. From that vantage point you can see all the hectic fun the cook and his helpers are having slinging hash and pucks from dawn until late afternoon. As a first timer, I wanted to try what Sunshine was most famous for - their burgers. I ordered the California Burger with cheese, and enjoyed watching all the people coming in after me finding seats and chil-laxing while their grub was being constructed. Everyone seemed to know everyone else in this joint, and the servers were genuine originals to this part of Jersey. I was "honeyed," and "sweet hearted," a half dozen times. So nice to feel like home, although my childhood was spent a bit farther north in Bergen County. My burger was that it could be. Slightly passed the desired medium finish, it was still very good, with the overload of lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and ketchup, on a decent Kaiser roll. I tried to eat the whole thing with my hands, but the mayo made the innards slippery, and every bite had an equal and opposite leak out the other end of the sammy. Completed the task with knife and fork, although I knew the young dudes next to me were wondering about me. They decided to give me a pass because I offered to move down a stool so they all could sit at the counter. Loved the atmosphere and the honest seriousness of the burger. No. It wasn't Shake Shack (thank goodness), but it was way ahead of those highway stops, and a tip of the hat to real tasty Americana. read more

Burgers off the hook! Fresh big and tasty. Specials really good. Stuffed burgers and breakfast good as well.

Food here is excellent and the people who work here are super nice. Try the volcano it's amazing!!! I love this place but my cholesterol is questionable lol . Do stop in and get anything I've had most of the menu over the past few years and they never disappoint. Finest comfort food in the county! read more

Exceptional service and amazing food. Stopped here on our way back from a concert the next morning and the food was beyond amazing. It is a small location with limited seating but we sat outside in the sun in the outdoor seating which made it even better. We definitely will be coming back again when we're in the area. read more

Great place to stop by to try a NJ staple known as the pork roll.. Here, I got The Hog, which has pork roll, hashbrown, eggs, and cheese. The sandwich was perfect, hearty and filling. The saltiness of the pork, texture of the egg, tang of the cheese, with the crispy deep-fried hashbrown, all on a soft roll. It was a great introduction to NJ, coming off the airplane and driving to my friend's wedding weekend. To top, the staff was very friendly, got to chatting with them for about half an hour. They were very welcoming to their state and great sharing stories and laughs. Highly recommend this chill, off-the-beaten path locale and will definitely stop by again next time I'm in town to try more of their food!! read more

Sunshine Grill - The Hog - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

We ate here every day during a recent vacation to Edison NJ. The food is delicious, and prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

Ordered the Greek omelet and French toast. It is a small grill so there isn't that much seating around. Decent parking lot. The woman that gave me my order was nice, but when I opened the food, it didn't seem right. The French toast did not look like French toast, it was on the burnt side and they did not taste right either. The bread that was given with the omelet was cold as well. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and I won't be going back. The jelly/syrup was also leaking inside of the bag and it got on my clothes once I took it out. read more

My esteemed colleague Riccardo Ver Feltersnatch quite enjoys their sausage, egg and cheese which he lovingly reconstructs daily. Our guitarist Richie W. Lickenrod likes his sammy with scramby egg (1 egg only) and extra bacon and although they barely ever get his order right its that much more "righteous" when they finally do. Although head council Scooter Tootbooger can't eat 95% of their menu they are his go to for his favorite dish: an insanely large bowl of chopped boiled egg and cucumber. Team trainer Wai So Dum says he loves their food but strangely only ever eats half his sandwich. To summarize the Sunshine Grill is a beacon of light in a dark sea of bad breakfast food. read more

This review is for a delivery order. No major issues with my order or my food. Delivery time was reasonable. The driver was polite and courteous. Ordered a Jersey Giant Burger which was a burger with pork roll, fried egg, and American cheese on a roll. It arrived nicely packaged and put together. The pickles, lettuce and tomatoes were on the side. I thought the sandwich was tasty but to me it more of a breakfast sandwich than a burger. The pork roll was very good. Not too salty. The bacon was excellent! Loved that it was not charred to a crisp. It was cooked slightly about the midway mark. The egg was just a fried egg. The negative of this burger was the burger itself. It was overwhelmed in the entire sandwich. The burger was on the thinner side and cooked medium well, but I requested medium rare. The waffle fries here were pretty good. I also ordered hash browns (by accident). That's carb overload! Actually wanted corn beef hash, which is just as bad. I just noticed its not even on the menu! It tasted good - lightly seasoned and thinly grated potatoes. Not worth $3.99 though. All in all I would order delivery from here again. The food is decent. They have many interesting sounding sandwiches that I would try as well as breakfast foods when I'm working in the area. read more

Love this type of food for breakfast or lunch. We ordered a ton of dishes, and everything was delicious. Fluffy and light pancakes Hearty and juicy sausages Crispy hash browns (patty or shredded) and gooey eggs Burgers/fries Fried chicken sandwich/fries Super friendly staff, people you can talk to leisurely. I can tell that the staff have a good relationship, a comfortable environment. A large parking lot, but the spaces aren't designated, so you can park anywhere. But I think this is more of a quick take out spot/delivery. They have around 5 or so tables, some bar dining, but definitely no frills. You don't really need to sit here for a long time for your meal, because it does not have that cozy vibe. But that's OK, it's the food that matters! read more

Sunshine Grill is probably one of those places you've driven by a million times but have never gotten the nerve to try. It was much scarier before the renovation a few years ago, triggered by a fire in the kitchen that sadly kept them off the grid for a period of time. That's all history now, and Sunshine Grill is back at it, serving up some of the best greasy spoon fare you'll find in the area. If you've read my reviews before, you know I'm not a fan of pretty much any of the local diners in the area. It infuriates me to have moved back to Jersey only to find that most diners suck and can't even serve up a halfway decent breakfast or patty melt. As a result, I've been forced to go underground, looking for that little hole in the wall, mom-and-pop shop that ends up being a local secret gem. And Sunshine Grill fits that bill perfectly. For all the people who drone on and on about the amazingness that is the White Rose System -- a place that I, admittedly, spent many a wasted night back in college -- do yourself a favor and branch out a bit. Give Sunshine a try. I packed the family up for breakfast and was quick to overrule any votes for Le Peep, which I have recently sworn out of the morning rotation. Today, we'd go where I wanted to go. And that would be the Sunshine Grill. You know what you're getting into when you arrive to see the cook outside in the parking lot pumping butts while the grill is slow. That's part of the charm of a place like this. The decor inside is nothing to write home about: a few tables/booths and a counter of stools, and an open flattop grill where most of the magic happens. As with many of these places nowadays, there's an odd sprinkling of Mexican food on the menu. My kids were thrilled because they were in the mood for chips and guacamole. I would have never, ever ordered anything Mexican from the Sunshine Grill had it not been for my kids. And let me tell you, these were some of the tastiest (read: greasiest) freshly made chips and guac I've had in a long time. But that's not what I'm writing about. Breakfast here is excellent -- maybe the best in the area. The burgers and sandwiches all have interesting names. I had the Hog, which I recall was your classic PEC, but served with home fries, lettuce, tomato, and a schmear of mayo -- the perfect hangover sandwich. My wife had an egg and cheese sandwich with avocado on a lightly toasted, buttered roll, and she was super-happy. (And remember: happy wife, happy life.) This was my first visit back since they reopened. When my buddy lived nearby many years ago, we'd uh... often get the munchies and find ourselves hanging at Sunshine. I remember the burgers being awesome, and they now have an incredibly delectable burger menu, with some insane pairings like a mac and cheese-stuffed burger. Seriously? STFU! That sounds awesome. Next time. My only beef with Sunshine is the hours. They're only open until 7pm, and that's only on Friday and Saturday. What's a guy supposed to do when that late night craving hits? White Castle just doesn't pass muster anymore when you've become a food snob like me. :) read more
