Sunny's Diner

After driving by quite often I decided I would stop in see how the food was. The food was pretty good The service was good. When I ordered The eggs Benedict Farmer it came with some kind of potatoes I decided to swap that for tomatoes and order the corned beef hash. That corned beef hash was really really good. Highly recommend ordering some. The coffee and orange juice were good. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant it has a nice view to the high-rise buildings down the road. I went in on Friday morning as I walked in the door one of the female servers was going to help me and one of the guys jumped in not sure why then I heard later as I was eating I could hear him say sorry I took the customer from you. Not sure what that was about.

Sunny's Diner 1825 E University Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281 I’ve driven past Sunny’s countless times, always curious but never stopping. This morning, however, I had a 7:00 AM appointment with a commercial client, and after a productive meeting, I felt a delightful hunger creeping in. Remembering that Sunny’s was just a quick five-minute drive away, I decided it was finally time to check it out. Friends, Sunny’s Diner is an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere was buzzing with positivity, and the staff truly made the experience special. My server was fantastic, and the hostess who seated me radiated kindness. Even the busboy was cheerful, spreading smiles as he worked. I believe this is a charming mom-and-pop establishment, though I’m not entirely sure. What I do know is that the food was delicious, but it’s the wonderful staff that will definitely bring me back. I had an awesome time today, and I can’t wait to return to enjoy more of what Sunny’s has to offer!

Rating is specifically for the breakfast food items***** Sunny’s never misses and each time is a reminder of why I continue to go back! Food is simple / not over complicated and is nostalgic to home cooked sunday meals back in the day at home. Prices aren’t to out of reach and the menu is pretty big. Parking isn’t to bad but is a very small lot that is free/ shared with other businesses.

Been going to this greasy spoon for 10 years. Nothing too fancy, but the food is consistent, and the price is fair. The service is top notch. My regular plates are as follows: Piglet skillets Chicken fried steak French toast Great spot ill be back!

From out of town so we Spund dice and picked Sunnys. And had an Absolute amazing breakfast experience. Credit due to our server Alex. Did a Great job w drinks and getting our food out to us with in shirt time of ordering. Food was Amazing and had tons to choose from. Had 0 Wait time and atmosphere was perfect for dinning experience. Would recommend this place to any and All.

Stopped in for breakfast & had a delicious meal. Alex was my server & he was great. I will be back

Stopped in this morning with family for breakfast and wow what a wonderful experience. The food was top shelf yummy and our server Joseph was absolutely the finest. Very personable and engaging. I could have hung out there for hours talking to him. Everything from him was a positive positive and again, delicious food!

I was looking for a place to meet family for breakfast between Glendale and Mesa, and Sunnys had great reviews, along with some good looking French toast, so we agreed to meet here and try it. Was not disappointed one bit! Our server was friendly, quick, and attentive, the food choices were many and reasonably priced, and food was served quickly, and looked and tasted fantastic! Definitely worth the 20 minute ride from Mesa, and the classic diner feel atmosphere was a hit with the kids who love the retro vibe. Special thanks to the customer who returned my daughters left-behind phone to the front desk!

For my first visit, I ordered the New Mexico omelette with house fries, tomato slices, and sourdough toast. The food came out quickly, and every bite was delicious. The staff made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, regularly checking in with me. Joseph was my server and did an excellent job. He was attentive and on top of everything. There was also another young lady who took my order and checked in with me a few times. I didn't catch her name, but she was very sweet and professional. Between the two of them, they really sold the experience. As for the ambiance, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a classic American diner, but very comfortable. There was plenty of natural light, minimal noise, and the entire place was very clean.

WOW!!! I can't believe I've lived in Tempe for 10+ years and today was my first time at Sunny's! Ir was GREAT! The service was amazing! Very welcoming and helpful!! The food was great and the portions very very generous! I will be coming to Sunny's again (and again) as my go to for a great breakfast!! Thank you to the staff!

I've driven by Sunny's hundreds of times in Tempe and have always wondered how it was. Friends of mine swear by it as one of the best breakfast spots in town. From the outside it looks like just another breakfast spots....its not. I'm kinda surprised it doesn't get brought up more often, this place is great! Service was fast and friendly even though the place was fairly crowded. The inside is nothing special, typical booth and table seating options, but the food was amazing! Everything was good! On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll go back....Ive been back, I'll keep going back? All of the above!

Nice selection of tasty treats. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. OJ was very good too.

We needed a late big breakfast & Sunny's did the trick. Service was prompt & friendly. It's a classic diner all the way with comfort food galore.

Great experience! My daughter was thrilled that they had a fun pancake. As I have said before, it's hard to mess up breakfast, it's the easiest meal and Sunny did it right

Nice spot for breakfast or lunch! Good pricing and was able to accommodate our larger party. Server was very friendly and managed to keep up with everyone's orders when we all got there at different times. A few others helped run food and they were all speedy and efficient! Standard breakfast diner ambiance and feel. I for the banana chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious! The breakfast sausage links were also really good

Food is always good has a homemade/hometown feel to it, food is always hits honestly we only come like once a month but food is always honestly great..just today there were to many young ladies had there hair down, for me food and hair is not always a good concept, I don't want food in my hair, I seen the young man wearing a hair net well serving food.. but then have some of your girls with longer hair just left upkeep and need to be bushed out, sorry that's my biggest pet peeve, I feel like servers have to look presentable and not look like they just got out of bed, came in for the biscuit because that's what I was craving.. highly recommend with our without the gravy...

One of my favorite places to eat for breakfast. The staff is super nice and I love their crispy home fries. Order them extra crispy and flat and tell them Brian sent you.

I'm here for spring training baseball games and one of the men in our group suggested we come here from breakfast before heading out to a game and the two of us did. The restaurant about a 1/2 mile from our hotel so walked here. I ordered a chocolate chip and banana pancake that was absolutely delicious, maybe the best I've ever had. Bella, our server, could not have been nicer. She has a great sense of humor, was helpful in answering any questions and came back a couple times during our meal to see if we needed more tea, water or anything else. The restaurant is on University Dr. not far from ASU so an easy walk from the college. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area for breakfast or lunch.

I highly recommend the Country Breakfast. And the NewMexico omelette. The service is very chipper. The ambience makes you feel like family.

This is a very clean restaurant and I have never had a bad meal. Improvements, A smaller menu will help. And a reduced portion size for seniors. Service was great, attentive but not annoying

5 star service, 3.5 star food. I liked the home fries -- much closer to potato than fried, which I like. Plenty of food but not too memorable.

Sunny diner is a go to breakfast spot on the weekends if you are craving diner food. I was craving a burger for breakfast and it fulfilled my craving

Me and my family have been here plenty of times over the years and it is amazing a great experience. Food and service are always incredible, very much a local old school feel diner. Highly recommend!

Favorite breakfast diner in the area! Reasonable prices, large portions of fresh food and friendly service. Our serve Bella was so sweet and welcoming, and the girl who checked us out at the end was so kind. Even the man who dropped our food off was so pleasant and made sure everything was okay! Plenty of seating and parking. We got the farmer skillet and it was delicious and the country friend steak. We had coffee and enjoyed the AC on a hot day.

Tried this local place not far from my home on a Sunday for brunch and it was overall great! Tastes better than any other brunch place and is fairly affordable! The service was great and I loved to see the effort all the workers put in to make sure we have everything we need to enjoy this meal. I also liked the idea that you don't have to get a full portion of pancakes you can only order one. Will be back for breakfast soon!

First time in our servers name was Cynthia and she was very sweet. She was attentive and knowledgeable of their menu which was very helpful. I had the waffle classic which was good except my syrup was given to me cold and made my food cold faster. Mike had the Mexican omelet which was huge, he got his with home fries and bacon. He had been here before so it may become a hide away breakfast joint for us, we'll see. They are only open for breakfast and lunch here. We enjoyed the dinning room booth seating which was Nice and spacious as I had my work with me, and it's nice and quiet if you are working. Cozy lil spot.

Service was OK, food was pretty good. We asked for a side of salsa and server said they were pretty small so we ordered 3.... The sides were very large and they charged us $2 each which we really only needed 1... so not sure on the miscommunication of sizes lol. Breakfast enchiladas with chorizo were good but the service really made it to be a 3 instead of 4 star review.

Good was amazing! I definitely love the fact that there's different options to choose from. The service was great. When came in, the waiter helped us to the table and ask if I wanted any drinks besides water. The waiter also gave me extra time when I couldn't decide any thing. I would say, because this place is completely out of my well known area, I do love the environment. Similar to an IHOP or Denny's, which gave me comfort. I really enjoyed my time at Sunny's Diner.

Our server was very very awesome! I did not get his name though, unfortunately. Super cute spot with a large amount of quality breakfast items, including Mexican options. My chorizo tacos were very spicy and delicious! Edit: his name is Alex!

Been eyeing this diner for a couple months now since moving to Mesa. They did not disappoint, our server was a young gentleman who was attentive and kind. The BLT was sooo good, fresh produce (avocado is a must) and fries were not soggy and greasy. My boyfriend got the chocolate chip waffle and loved it. My only complaint is I wish they were open later for the breakfast for dinner lovers! Will return.

Huge skillet and huge side of pico. The corn tortillas were great - little breakfast tacos

This is THE breakfast spot (I can't say for the other meals of the day because I only came for breakfast)! The variety of food you can get here is absolutely FANTASTIC! I got the normal French toast and it was just stellar. The feel of the restaurant is a good, classic, American diner. It feels very homely and it's just perfect in location. Now, what really puts this place over the top is the service, oh my gosh! Our server, Alex, was so efficient and quick and kind and not just kind to my family and I, but to his fellow coworkers!! It was just such a welcoming and fun environment for a Sunday. Thank you!! Will definitely come back for the other meals of the day.

just wow the food was everything that I expected and the service was spot on. The ambience and environment is exactly what you expect from a diner

Great breakfast spot!! My son strongly recommended it and it was a "10 out of 10." Our waitress Emily made a great omelette recommendation. - the California Omelette. Hash browns were excellent. Will be back soon.

Food came out really fast and it was seasoned well. Portion size is big. Services was wonderful and very attentive. Ambiance is casual but outside of that, id highly recommend!

Over priced for what you get. Their "home fries" is just a bland smashed up baked potato with no seasoning. I doubt I'd eat here again.

Food was so good!! It was filling and heavy imo but that's not a bad thing in this case as a broke student trying to save money. Total order was $51. Went at late morning on a Tuesday and the place was a bit empty so it was rather quiet for me and my friend. Will definitely be going back soon!

Just came home from a 9 day cruise on American Cruises. But the breakfast I had at Sunnnys Diner was the best all week. well done!

Breakfast Special Mexico Omlet got my husband's seal of approval. The Farmer's skillet is an easy choice for this vegetarian. Substitute pancakes for your side. They are mouth-watering. It always gets busy on Sundays around 10:00. So if you don't want a wait, get there early. Service is always efficient and always served with a smile. I love the old school look of the diner and you.have a great view of the mountain from the beautiful big windows. As a bonus, the last few times we have been there, they have SpongeBob playing. If you don't like SpongeBob we can't be friends.

Friendly staff. I had the pork chops and eggs. They were excellent. I would highly recommend this place despite the furniture needing to be updated ( my booth seat had long standing tear in it). We will be back.

We were in town from California visiting family friends and they suggested we go to Sunny's. It was conveniently located to our hotel, less than 10 minutes away so we were excited to try a new restaurant out of town. Our party of 9 was seated promptly and Alex our server was at our table immediately to bring waters and get our drinks ordered. When he returned with them we were ready to order. The food came out quickly. It was excellent. Our server Alex and the rest of the Sunny's staff were not only taking care of us but they were running the whole place like a well oiled machine! Coffees were kept hot iced teas were religiously kept full and table maintenance was stellar! As a former restaurant worker myself for 15 years I have always appreciated great service and Alex was above and beyond excellent! I can say that he is mastering the craft. I wish nothing but success for this young man. I hope he gets the positive feedback from his customers and the restaurant management alike. Great job Alex! Keep up the great work!!!

I came here today with a friend and it was very busy. That was a good sign of what we had in store for food. The menu is one of the largest I've seen in a long while. I wanted to try everything! It looked so good. I settled on the California Benedict without tomatoes. The home fries were so good as well, I was on cloud nine. The eggs Benedict was really tasty too. My only issue was the hollandaise sauce was a bit too tangy. I'm not sure what it was but it was thicker and tangier than I'm used to with this dish. I would definitely order from here again and try many other menu options in the near future.

WATCH. YOUR. BILL. The kids menu advertised that drinks are included, according to our waitress they "actually are not" and her "manager doesn't allow that" so you're charged $3.89 PER CHILDS DRINK. On top of that, the biscuits and gravy tasted of chemicals, the home fries had zero seasoning and the food overall needed help. 10/10 will never recommend this place. Absolutely disgraceful and so deceiving. How they have good reviews is beyond me. Replying to Alex: None of my children ordered hot chocolate so that's a bold faced lie. They had sprite & iced tea. The biscuits & gravy were not removed from my bill. She also initially charged us for adult grilled cheese meals & not the child ones for 2 of my kids. Maybe speak with your staff AGAIN & ensure they have the correct upset customer.

I love this place so much. I want my ashes to be spread here. Service is good and I feel so at home in this restaurant. Super casual and laid back environment. 10/10

Food was good . The service was great as well, with our food arriving quickly. Typical looking diner with lots of menu options. Iced tea was good too. Nothing spectacular on the outside of the restaurant, and some benches need some immediate attention to the upholstery, but that's not why I go to a restaurant. Worth the visit.

We walked in and we're seated immediately. All the staff were extremely nice and patient, even letting us hang out in our booth after we paid. My first time ordering an eggs Benedict and it did not disappoint! They even had tapatio at the table which is my favorite hot sauce. The corned beef hash was cooked with perfection. Exactly how I like it, crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The mimosa flight is amazing, pomegranate flavor is my favorite. Need a quick delicious sit down diner in Tempe, definitely recommend this place!

The breakfast waffle and Irish omelet were delicious but we were disappointed, they don't give veterans discounts or AARP discounts. They do give ASU students discounts though...pretty sad, they don't honor veterans. We will not going back but I suppose the students are happy.

Sunnys has been consistently good for alot of years and today was no exception. Chicano Benedict with house made Chorizo was special.

Delicious food and amazing customer service! Always kind people in here who go out of their way to make sure you're happy! My coffee cup was never empty and my food was served fresh and in a timely manner! Highly recommend especially the potatoes!

Big shoutout to Jeff for the amazing service! Great breakfast selection with a huge menu. One of my favorite places to bring people visiting from out of town. Food is always great.

I got a terrible case of food poisoning that had my body self purging for 2 days. It was the only meal I had that day. I assume it was from bacon as my friend had a similar meal but without bacon/

We went in for breakfast this morning. I had 2 eggs, home fries, bacon and toast. The eggs were over easy and good. The bacon was fatty and flavorless. The home fries were way too overcooked. Dark brown almost burnt on top and the potatoes underneath were so done they were like mashed potatoes. Not very appetizing. I don't think i will be back.

Sunny's Diner: "No gimmicks, just good food." Sunny's is not your trendy Sunday Funday spot and that's okay! Sometimes you want big, home style, no fuss portions! Sunny's IS the spot for that! Sunny's menu is extensive from pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelettes, Benedict's, skillets, burritos, biscuits, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. This visit we ordered the spinach Florentine (my attempt at having a healthier breakfast) and banana chocolate chip pancakes. The hollandaise sauce was a nice touch on the spinach Florentine! The banana chocolate chip pancakes were so good!! We had them without syrup as it was sweet enough. We easily could have split our order/saved half for another day but we didn't, haha! Skip iHop, Denny's, and the trendy Sunday Funday restaurant and come to Sunny's! You'll save $$ and be full and satisfied! Sunny's does simplicity at its best!

Food was good. Service was good. Nice clean place. I will definitely be back to try another selection on the menu.

We had a great experience at the diner. Stopped in for some breakfast, had fast service to get us to our table, waiter was fantastic, and food was served hot and in large portion. Ambiance was a diner experience, would recommend

Classic diner food, reasonably priced and delicious! I tried their chocolate chip waffle (an extravaganza of chocolate chips, and lots of chocolate syrup and whipped cream). Very rich but very good. I would honestly recommend it for dessert though. The regular waffles were solid as well. Their biscuits and gravy is tasty, I personally found it just a tad too salty for me. But the biscuits were light and the gravy was meaty and rich. I love that they don't skimp on the gravy either. We always enjoy the food here!

The menu has been shortened, no longer offer Gyros and eggs, sad face, large portions of food- you will leave full! They are packed late morning! Fast service good food!
