"The Sunrise House serves brunch in the Montrose neighborhood. In addition to the brunch usuals—chicken and waffles, eggs benedict, pancakes piled high with fruit— there are also a few twists like “Sunrise Sushi” filled with avocado and bacon." - Gianni Greene

I'm going to be honest this is a beautiful place. The service was wonderful, staff delightful, and the drinks top notch. The food was just mediocre in my opinion. My hubby got the catfish with Cajun grits and greens, the greens were not that great and the catfish, I don't know it just didn't taste great. I got the shrimp and grits and they were good, and my friend got an omelet. She liked her omelet. If we lived here I would definitely try again. The drinks were so, so good. My hubby got the toasted coconut latte? (I think latte) and I got a drink with gin, both were delicious. Their croissants were also really yummy. Ultimately it's worth a visit.

The Sunrise House is a delight! Christina slayed our espresso martinis and mimosas while we waited for our seats. Once we were sat for lunch, we explored more fantastic fares. I ended up with the shrimp and grits and my Guest enjoyed the breakfast fried rice. Both were delicious. These have to be the most beautiful libations around! Dont let another sunrise pass before you visit this brunch staple.

Today was our first time to visit and The Sunrise House did not disappoint! I recommend a reservation, although the wait time was bearable and SO worth it considering we didn't have one. The staff are all friendly and helpful, our server Rose was especially informative and friendly. Everything we tried was delicious and we can't wait to go back to try different items. The collard greens taste like your grandmother made them, the egg rolls are to die for, and the croissants are the perfect combination of soft and buttery. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try, even if there is a line. Just remember - people in Houston don't stand in line in the heat unless the food is worth it.

I enjoyed my time at this beautiful brunch restaurant. I sat at the bar for some food before going to the airport and was very impressed with the quality of everything, as well as the service. Everything I ordered was presented nicely, from the coffee flight to the croissants. There was a nice candle burning at the bar which added to the calm and high end ambiance. Do be aware there is a mandatory 20% gratuity. As someone who was visiting from out of town, I would definitely recommend this place.

We had a reservation, which I’d highly suggest! It’s gets very busy on the weekends. Loved the brunch atmosphere and the vibe of the restaurant as a whole. Food was so good and homey, exactly what’s I was in the mood for, I got the crab cake Benedict and pancakes and my friend got the catfish and grits (highly suggest). Liv was our waitress and she was amazing, very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive to any dietary restrictions we had, and just overall cool and fun, great to talk to, service was top tier. Would absolutely come again!

So I had to hop on here and tell yall how I just went to Sunrise House and if you’ve never been…don’t walk, run!!!! You have to try this restaurant out! From the time we walked in, to the way we were greeted by the waitress, with the biggest smile and “hello sunshine’s”. Her name was J’Niya and was extremely pleasant the entire time. The bathrooms were super clean and different. But let’s get to food…they first bring you out croissants and those things are 10/20 from jump! I’m a sucker for fresh squeezed lemonade and it was soooo goooood. RJ got lamb chops and I got the French toast. Bacon was the thick cooked to perfection. Y’all nothing we had today was a disappointment!! Please get there asap! I hate it took me so long.

Very cute brunch spot with a pretty decent menu. I got the sunflower sandwich and my friend got the egg white omelette . We also got some iced lattes. The lattes were very sweet so that was slightly annoying. The sandwich was delicious and service was good. It was a weekday so we parked for free. Definitely worth checking out

I love this place. I’m here at least twice a week! Sometimes it’s to unwind with great food after a 12 hour shift and sometimes it just because I’m craving something off the menu. The food is always AMAZING, the drinks and so is the service. I have never had a bad experience. Everyone is great but Jackie and Jose are my favorite. They always have a smile on their face and are very tentative to my needs. I tried something new today and got the all surf no turf! It didn’t disappoint 😉

Food: Omelette was ok. Menu selection is limited. 3 Stars Service: Staff are friendly and warm. Because of their location, parking is also limited, like their menu. Valet parking is the only option beside street parking. But the killer was the mandatory 20% gratuity, for every party (singles, couples, etc.). 3 Stars Ambiance: Vibrant and cozy. 5 Stars Overall: 3 Stars

My overall rating will be a 4. The food was amazing and the staff is very professional from the valet staff to the bussboys. The atmosphere is very relaxed and chilled. The music really creates a great space to be in with the service provided. I ordered the lamb chops, with some cheese grits and a side car. Honestly, that was the best tasting lamb I've had in awhile. I ordered it to be medium, it was a bit on the medium well side but still a great bite. The cheese grits OMG I could've eaten an entire pot of those I feel the organization has to get a little more prepared for large waits. If it's hours out before even putting your name on the list there has to be a place for those people to go, I witnessed over a dozen beautiful women standing in the rain due to no where to stand to wait. My reservations were for a certain time, but once my party was seated my timer started at my initial booking time and not when we were seated, so I wasn't a fan of that. Overall, great experience Happy Yelping

This place is absolutely adorable- with plant walls with 3-d effect and impeccable service. The serve complimentary warm, delectable butter croissants with just the right amount of honey drizzle. We got the hangover burger and the continental breakfast which includes pancakes, choice of protein, eggs and grits or potatoes. I got the bacon extra crispy and it was thick, meaty and oh so good. Did someone say pancakes? Omg the butter was melting all over these and these are my new favorite pancakes. Soft with a little chew and a little crispy edge. It doesn't get more indulgent than this. Check out that butter drip though!

This place was trending on social media so I said let me try this place. If you're going on a weekend, I definitely recommend you making a reservation. I arrived and there's valet parking (I think $6) then I entered the restaurant. The aesthetics and decor hands down are amazing. The service was amazing as well. The provided complimentary croissants and they melted in your mouth. I ordered the sunrise continental breakfast -which comes with pancakes. That was the biggest flaw with my experience. I asked if the edges of my pancakes could be crispy prior to ordering and was assured they would be. However, after two attempts- I gave up as the pancakes were almost raw on both attempts. I enjoyed the sides that came with my breakfast :the turkey sausage, eggs, and sweet potatoes. It was just disappointing not being able to get the entire meal I ordered. Oh I also had the fried devil eggs. They were good.

This restaurant is very cutesy, so be prepared to get all the photo ops it definitely gives tea party vibes! It's perfect for a girls brunch or a cute date with your boo! The servers are super sweet and helpful when giving you advice on what to order! I ordered the Frenchie Melt which was pretty good and I'd order again but without the cheese on it next time. The drinks are amazing, both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I love that they have a good variety of both, although it was a little hard to make a decision but that just means I'll have to go back and try the others parking is limited so be prepared to valet or Lyft if you are in close proximity.

I came for lunch back around Valentine's day and they had the cutest decorations with hearts, roses, and balloons around the restaurant. We had to wait around 30 minutes to get seated but ordering and getting our food was so fast. These honey butter croissants were complimentary and they were so good. They were warm, soft, and melted in my mouth. As for the food, it is very standard for breakfast food. Another thing is that they had a parking lot but it was managed by valet when we went.

Sunrise House is such a nice spot! Although valet was full and we had to park down the street, it was absolutely worth it. My family and friends all enjoyed their meals and drinks -- and so did I! The hostesses were kind and helpful, getting us seated in less than 20 minutes even without a reservation. Next time, I'll definitely make one in advance. We were seated in the tinted outdoor area -- not my first choice, but honestly, it wasn't bad at all. The fans worked well, it wasn't hot, and I still had a great time. Now let's talk about that açaí bowl -- OMG! So flavorful and refreshing, it gave me the energy boost I needed. The drink I had was also delicious. I already plan to return for that exact same combo!

I wanted to like this place more, but a few things just threw me off. First of all why is it valet only? Houston, we have GOT to do better with the parking situation. I'm coming to spend money, and I still have to pay $6 just to park? It's giving unnecessary. The restaurant itself is super cute and definitely Instagrammable, so no complaints on the vibe. But it was FREEZING inside. Not like "oh it's a little chilly" no, I had to walk back to my car and get a jacket. It's not even hot outside, so why was the AC on full blast? My waitress Olivia was great though friendly, helpful, and she recommended the Hibiscus Crush, which was delicious. They also have $20 mimosas Monday-Thursday and an early bird breakfast for $9.95 (Monday-Friday until 10am), which is a nice deal. Food wise, nothing on the menu really stood out to me. I played it safe with an omelette and added bacon it was fine. The complimentary croissants came out looking cute but were soaked in butter so much I couldn't eat them. FYI: gratuity is automatically added. The staff uniforms are super cute, all black with orange scarves, very polished. All in all, I might come back for a drink, but I wouldn't rush. Between the valet situation and the arctic blast inside, I was more focused on getting out than enjoying my food.

I really enjoyed the brunch at the sunrise house. I'd advise you to get reservations because this place is popular. We got seated quickly and the decor was lively with many photo opportunities. I got the sunny side egg rolls and breakfast fried rice. The sunny side egg rolls were good. The breakfast fried rice was great, very delicious and topped with a yummy egg. I will definitely return when I'm back in Houston.

Ambiance is nice, food is good but overpriced. The service was fine but I kept having to ask for refills on drip coffee (prefer if they just leave a carafe at the table). The $6 valet, 2 hour strictly enforced time limit (despite there being multiple open tables) and automatic 20% gratuity is what will keep me from going back or recommending to friends.

This place is absolutely adorable! I highly recommend making reservations because when we arrived, there was a line out the door for those without them. Thankfully, we were seated immediately upon checking in. They do enforce a 2-hour max at the table, which I think is fair since the food comes out quickly, and they time the appetizers and main courses well. I was initially skeptical about the egg rolls, but they were surprisingly delicious--especially with the queso drizzle! I ordered the Montrose Bennie and loved it. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the salad it came with--I just didn't think it complemented the Benedict well. But that's probably just me since I'm picky about salads and dressings. For drinks, I had the mango lemonade, which was very sweet--I had to water it down a bit. The restaurant also has a cute sunflower wall for photo ops, which is a nice touch. One thing to note: valet is the only parking option, and the lot is a little tight, but the attendants were quick and efficient. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot for a cute brunch, but make those reservations online--trust me on this one! Also, check out the menu ahead of time so you don't waste your 2-hour limit deciding what to order.

I'm not sure if it was just a busy day, but my first experience here didn't quite live up to the hype I heard from a friend. The food was just okay.. considering the price, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. That said, the restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing, with a beautifully decorated and very clean bathroom area. The collard greens were definitely my favorite, and the drinks were great, but my breakfast sandwich was just average. Service was a bit off.. at one point, my server insisted that my egg whites were supposed to have yolk in them, only to later admit it was a mistake in the kitchen. Overall, it wasn't the best first impression, but I might give it another shot.. just not on a busy weekend. Maybe a weekday visit will offer a better experience!

This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots in Houston! I've been here 4 times during the week and weekend, and they've always been consistent. The space is super cute, and they always add decor based on the holiday/season. The service is always exceptional and the servers attentive. The food is great! They offer complimentary honey butter croissants. The breakfast fried rice and strawberry matcha are my favorite items on the menu and both must haves! I've also had their waffles, there wasn't anything special about them but not bad. If you're going on a weekend, I would recommend making a reservation because they do get busy.

This is a great place for brunch. The parking lot is small, but available during the week. During busy times and weekends there's valet only. The interior is super cute, and I've always had good service here. They have consistently good food. I've been maybe 3 times now. And I'm not sure when it started but last time I went, there were complimentary croissants. They were really good (reminds me of Cheddars) and a nice touch. The catfish is always fire and my go to. The breakfast fried rice portion is huge but I recommend it for sharing. The only thing I haven't really care for were the coffee & matcha selections I've had. I had some sort of iced mocha drink last time I went.

Met the ladies for a Galentines Day and my first time at The Sunrise House. I saw a lot of grass walls with lights and painted murals and was nervous; there's tons of cutesy places in the city with terrible food. This is not one of them. I had a resy ($20 pp to hold your slot) so we were seated quickly. Our table was annoyingly wobbly but I didn't care enough to make a fuss. The drinks were great and potent but be advised you will need to open your purse; they are not cheap. Best surprise was the chicken wings. I love salt and pepper chicken and this was done very well. Liked the potatoes (wish I could have picked my own side) and ordered a side of greens. It was generous portion for the price. My friends got the Valentine's Board and shrimp and grits. No one left hungry for sure. The staff was very attentive and helpful. It was a very pleasant experience. But an expensive one. Would love to visit again in the future and IG surprisingly got it right with this spot.

When we arrived we found that it was a mandatory valet, charging $6 per car. If it's mandatory that I valet, you should not charge. Just let me tip them. Regardless- the valet was very overwhelmed with cars all over the place and people pulling in and blocking those who needed to leave. Due to this chaos, I went in to see how long the wait was as I didn't want to pay a parking fee to then have to wait for hours. When I got inside, there were three other parties at the host stand asking about the wait. We asked very directly and clearly how long the wait was, to then be met with "welllllll we don't like to give out times. We don't want to mislead someone." Followed by "only those with reservations get to sit inside. You will have to sit on the patio if a table opens. But I can't promise that happens or when it will be." Mind you - my retyping of this is much more concise compared to the host saying it, it took three parties forever to get that response. When three groups leave all muttering to each other and complaining in the parking lot about your hosts' inability to answer a question, you have a service problem. I really hate leaving bad reviews when I couldn't even taste the food, but that experience was so annoyingly frustrating that I felt it had to be said.

I saw this restaurant on TikTok when Usher visited last month. I was curious to try it after seeing several other videos recommending this restaurant. I went this past weekend and I was not very fond of the food. The parking lot is small and is $6 to valet. You could park on surrounding streets, but I'm not sure how far the walk would be. I highly suggest you make a reservation in advance. It was very busy for 10:30am on a Sunday and several people were waiting to be seated. The foyer is small with limited seating and not much outdoor seating to wait. I saw quite a few people leave who I am assuming didn't have a reservation and long wait time. There is outdoor and bar seating available as well for dining. Once seated there is a 2 hour dining time limit. The color scheme and decor is very cute and picturesque. The pink, black, white, and gold color aesthetic is even implemented in the restroom and hallway. In the women's restroom there are only two stalls. Be prepared to wait. I didn't see a changing table for babies in the restroom not even the larger stall unless I overlooked it. They were playing soulful Christmas music which I loved. Once we sat down our waiter Jacob came over and introduced himself and asked for our drink order. He was friendly and attentive. I chose coffee with cream and sugar and my friend ordered a mock-tail which she loved. We both ordered the catfish-n- fixins. While waiting for our food we received complimentary buttered croissants. The croissants were small, dry, and room temperature with warm butter. They were not good in my opinion and not better than Cheddar's croissants. Considering how busy they were it did not take long for the food to come out. The food presentation was great and the portion size was good. When it came to the taste of the food it was subpar. The fish was fishy, the grits I didn't care for the texture or the flavor, and I had more of the midrib of the greens than the leaf. I didn't finish my dish and neither did my friend, however she did enjoy the grits. I was very disappointed, because I really wanted to like this restaurant. Maybe it was my particular dish that I ordered. The bill comes via a handheld device and 20% gratuity is already included in your bill despite your party size. It was just the two of us and it was applied to our individual bill. I paid $37.19 for the catfish-n-fixins, a coffee, 20% gratuity, and tax. I would consider going back, but not any time soon.

We opted to try this place for brunch for our annual Friends-Mas meet up. We were told we would sit at 2:30, but had to wait about 5-10mins. The place is small and there is a $6 valet that basically parks your car in the same lot as the restaurant, so I don't really see the point of that. The place is small, but the decor was festive. Our waitress was very attentive. We like to order a lot and eat family style when we go out. They have really creative cocktails as well. Apps: Deviled eggs/ Sushi/Breakfast Eggrolls (Best Bite)/Queso Entrees: Salt& Pepper Chicken/Chicken & waffles/ Catfish w/ collards/ Shrimp & Grits/Jerk Lambchops Drinks: Run Run Rudolph/Grinch/Sangria/ Hibiscus Couldn't really remember all the different drinks. The sushi deviled eggs were underwhelming. The breakfast egg rolls are a must-try, they are served with fresh queso. Food was good, I would defini try it again. They close at 4pm, just fyi. Enter freely, they've been approved.

Firstly, the menu is quite enticing. I wanted to try everything but went with the Sunshine Eggrolls which are a must have! They're crispy, savory, and actually filling. I wish I would've ordered more. The queso on-top was the perfect addition. The Sunrise Sushi was a fresh, fun twist that I wasn't expecting but enjoyed. The Catfish n Fixins usually come with grits and greens but they happened to be out of the cheese grits by the time I ordered, so they comped me for the grits. The greens were a bit on the salty side, still tender and flavorful though. The catfish was crispy and seasoned just right, creating a nice balance. I'd honestly come back just for those eggrolls, and the Sundrop because both were 10/10.

This place is sooooo cute and the service was TOP NOTCH! Made a reservation and we're sat on time with great service by Paul. He was so friendly and made our experience so much better. The menu has an equal mix of savory and sweet, def something for the whole table. Do make reservations and parking is valet only (I came on a Sunday) @$6. We were able to get some street parking but we got lucky.

Place is a bit dirty, the striped booth seating has stains, but looks nice overall. In the women's bathroom, one of the ceiling sinks sprays water if you use it--there is no sign. Food was great, though, which is why it gets 4 stars. Service was okay; the waiter was not as attentive with how small the restaurant is.

Just had brunch here today and while I appreciate the "aesthetics" but the social media influence is beyond false. And this is why I hate social media "influencers." First - you drive up and it's literally valet only (I'll get to that in a sec). You walk up, and there is a door guy. Read that again, there is a door guy. Think bouncer like in a club which also told me - I'm probably in the wrong place. I was. Lol imagine what kind of clients how you would get if you actually need a door guy? Now also think that that's exactly what the staff also reflects...lashes like spiderwebs and nails longer than your index finger. We asked the waitress how much a carafe was on the weekends because the menu only displays weekday cost and she bluntly and rudely tells us that there's no carafes on the weekend, but you can buy a bottle for $50. OK, what does that come with? Two baby bottles of juice. So you offer it during the week but not on the weekends? Here is an idea, for the price that you charge people, invest in different menus so your weekend patronage do not ask for what you offer during the week. So we ask for recommendations on food options and our waitress gave us hers. I got the catfish and fixings, my friend got the chicken and waffles, and another friend got the egg white omelette. They start off by sending you croissants, drowning in honey. But these are not Homemade croissants, in fact, they are canned Pillsberry croissants, drowning, and honey. Thankfully, it was free and offered as a "complementary starter." The catfish was perfection, which is why it got 2 stars. The grits were trash. The chicken and waffles did not compliment each other and honestly, the maple syrup tasted artificial with maybe some cayenne in it. Oh we also got the fried rice as a starter and I kind of wished we didn't. Was it worth the $18? No unless you want your soggy rice to be drenched in soy sauce. And not even legit soy sauce, like Maggie's. It was the fake stuff from the grocery store. Overall, the food was mediocre. Some pieces were cooked exceptionally well and some should not have even been considered added to the menu. But I can see that they're only claim to fame would be from the photo opportunities that people are looking for. Nothing really well wowing and after seeing the ambience, I understand why they charge $20 per person, for the reservation. They have probably had a lot of dine and dash customers. Oh one really important mention - gratuity is AUTOMATICALLY included, which is a peeve of mine. Let me decide how much I would tip based on service. But again - clientele meets staff and you will get the bottom of the barrel manners. Now on to the $6 valet. Most places that are at a higher cost, usually offer complimentary valet. Especially if they cannot offer their customers adequate parking. But here's what really ticked me off. So the lady charged my credit card and told me I needed to leave a tip. I told her no thanks (bc I had cash I was going to tip the guy) and she ended up putting 4 other vehicles before mine. I stood in the sun for 24 mins for them to bring me my vehicle so I was so irate that I didn't even give the guy the $5 I was going to leave him. AVOID THIS MONEY TRAP and shame on you influencers who market this place.

Acute new spot that is booked up in Montrose. A good spot to take all your Instagram photos. The food was good. Parking is a little tricky, but they do offer a white valet and street parking.

I have seen this cute restaurant on social media for a while and finally able to visit. I know the ambiance is nice but honestly thought the food won't be good that was why I haven't go and to my surprise to find out that I was wrong . The food was actually way better than I expected. Service was also good. At 1st my order was wrong bcoz I ordered medium rae steak and it came out well done but they quickly fix it. Overall was nice experience

Had been wanting to try Sunrise House for awhile because of how cute it looked on the inside and the menu also looked good. Since it was a group of us, we booked a reservation. We arrived on time but still had to wait maybe 15 minutes for a table which was kind of annoying but I think everything else made up for that. I really enjoyed my meal, I ordered the banana pudding waffle delights. The chicken tenders were crispy and seasoned well. The waffles were good but a little too soft for me, they were kind of like a cake texture. I wanted to try one of the drinks on the menu because I noticed the presentation is very pretty but my friends and I ended up ordering a bottle of champagne and juice for the table to have mimosas. We all enjoyed our food and I will go back soon and try something different. Side note: there is parking on site but it is only valet parking and it's $6. My experience with the valet is why I'm not giving 5 stars. When my car was returned to me there were dirt and foot prints all over the mats and the inside of the doors (not only on the drivers side but in the backseat as well). I know it came from them because I had just cleaned the interior of my car the night before. I am upset because I think the staff should be more responsible and a little less careless with customers property and nobody should have been in my backseat to begin with. So again I say, I will go back to the restaurant again. The food and service was good but I am skeptical about the valet service so I may park somewhere else next time.

The food at sunrise is nothing beyond FIRE ASF . I had the Surf no turf for my entree and breakfast sushi as my starter. The bartender created a mocktail that looked nothing like a "mocktail". The atmosphere is calm and pleasant but still such a vibe with great music in the background and beauty decor. I gave 4 stars due time limit. Reservation was for 12:30 and serve came at 12:50 but our time started before our greet.

SO CUTE!! food and service are excellent and the interior is adorable. we got the golden delights which were so good and they let us remove the bacon for a friend that doesn't eat pork. has the french toast sand which as well which was really good - the french toast itself made it stand out the bread was amazing. would definitely make weekend brunch reservations ahead of time it was pretty busy there's $6 valet - you can street park around docked a point bc my strawberry coffee didn't taste like anything lol but my friends strawberry matcha was really good!

The place is cute! But not big enough for super large parties. If they did a lot of tables would have to be pushed together. Parking is 6 dollars and has valet. So don't worry about parking your own car. The drinks are good! I only had two of their sangrias and they were pretty tasty and presented beautifully. The food was presented nice, and was regular.. it wasn't nasty, but it was fine.. and I'd go back to try other things on the menu. *side note I did go to the wrong bathroom.. so just watch out for that*

The service was great our server was nice and attentive and the place was very cute and ascetic but the food seemed pretty pricey for what they were serving. Everything with both protein and a carb was an absolute minimum of $20. They served complimentary honey crossiants that were tasty but they were doughy in the middle and tasted undercooked. Our food was good but too sweet for the both of us. I just wish my French toast had included some kind of meat to balance it out. We sat on the patio with our doggie and they did offer her a water bowl which was nice but the patio itself was pretty tight. We were very close to the other tables next to us and it didn't feel as intimate as I would've hoped. I don't think I would revisit, I feel there's better places for this price point.

This was my first experience at the sunrise house. I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now, especially since it's supposed to be black owned. We came here to celebrate my mother's birthday. I was not aware of the mandatory valet parking, which is $6 not a bad price compared to other black owned establishments. I love the restaurants decor with the added balloon arch and happy Valentine's Day banners. Our server Jodie was great and attentive, this made us feel better about the automatic 20% gratuity. I will say I don't like when restaurants auto add gratuity especially when the service is subpar. My brother and I got a bottle of Prosecco, which was $40 and came with three flavors of juices on the side. Definitely recommend getting a bottle over a carafe or a mimosa flight. You get more bang for your buck at any restaurant you go to. My sister-in-law ordered the strawberry Matcha as her drink. She said it tasted powdery. My other sister ordered a hazelnut espresso type drink, which she said wasn't too sweet. My mother ordered the strawberry lemonade, which I got to try a little bit of really good stuff! Most of the table ordered the catfish n fixins greens are good, but did have a lot of meat in it, grits were good and flavorful and the catfish had a nice crispy batter. My sister and I split the brunch board that was on the Valentine's Day menu I DO NOT RECOMMEND ORDERING THIS. The cost was $45 and not worth the price at all. It's meant for two people to split but in reality, one person can eat that whole brunch board by themselves. I posted pictures next to a human hand for reference on how small that board was and how small the servings are. We were able to get two pieces of chicken each. Those were really good and flavorful. There was one piece of catfish cut into three nugget size pieces. Of course the catfish was good, but could have at least put another piece of catfish on there. Shrimp and grits serving was laughable lol there was a scoop of grits with two pieces of shrimp. The two heart-shaped eggs were overcooked and not seasoned at all! I had to ask for salt and pepper even the added cheese didn't do anything for it. The waffles weren't bad, but didn't give a red velvet flavoring, which I wasn't mad about because I'm not the biggest fan of Red Velvet. You can tell that they made the eggs and waffles in one of those waffle makers you can find at a dollar store. I have a similar one at home my friend gave me for Galentine's that's the only reason I know unfortunately. Our server did ask our opinion on the brunch board, and we gave her our honest feedback. Hopefully, she uses that to inform her other guest prior to ordering that that might not be the best choice. My favorite part was the complimentary honey butter croissants reminds me of cheddars honestly. I'm not sure if I would go back here nothing wowed me other than the decor. Also, during our visit, the power kept flickering on and off. We made a joke about it being the waffle maker they were using lol I'll leave the ball in your court if you want to give this restaurant a try or not. I feel like there's way better options out here in Houston.

Food and aesthetics were really good! Drink definitely gave you a little buzz so was cute and worth it! My only dislike was that there were soooo many flies flying around the restaurant it was almost ridiculous. That needs to be fixed by management but other than that food and service was great.

Adorable brunch spot that really keeps to the theme. Everything is sunflower themed. The restroom was beautiful and clean. I went with a group of individuals and we were all impressed by the service and food. Our server Briea was amazing! I wanted to try both the cheese and cajun grits. She offered for me to get a split side order. Now that's awesome customer service. All the food was presented well and tasted even better. I did not need to add any additional seasoning. Everything I tasted I would order again: Sugar Honey Iced Tea: B+ Egg white veggie omelet: A Banana fosters french toast: A+ Fried deviled eggs: A Honey butter croissants: B Strawberry lemon waffle: A+

Me and my coworkers were looking for a place different to eat breakfast so I looked up places nearby and The Sunrise House came up so we gave them a try when we arrived we knew it was going to be a nice outing. We tried the breakfast and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, not snd well seasoned. Funny thing was that I've never been told you have an hour and a half to complete your meal. My thought is that the restaurant contributes quite a bit to whether I can get out in 1.5 hours based on the stored of service and cook tone for the ordered items. I like it the entrance gave a nice photo op for anyone there.

I have been to sunrise house about 2 times now and overall experience I'll give it a 8/10. I will say to go early in the morning during the week it's not that crowded all the time but the food was so good I ordered the vegan power bowl and a side of grits. I've tried their French toast before , blueberry matcha and those honey croissants they remind me of those from cheddars i feel like they don't need to be stingy with the icing all the time but other than that it's delicious! Amazing service service is immaculate all the time even the valet were so nice and friendly definitely recommend family friendly.

Don't bother. Valet staff is very rude. Didn't even eat brunch here because their valet was so rude. We missed the initial turn into the restaurant and turned into the other entrance which apparently was the exit, not clearly marked, and the valet staff chewed us out and treated us like we had just broke the law. There was another car trying to back out so he had us blocking them. We asked if we could just pull up and go over to the entrance side and they rudely told us no, go back out and around. Mind you, besides the one car that was leaving, there was NO cars blocking or impeding the path to the "correct side" of the valet parking. The valet entrance sign blocks the actual entrance and is hidden by the shadow of a tree/fence line that it's super easy to miss. I also find it appalling to have to pay valet parking in an open parking lot with plenty of spaces and easily accessible for everyone. Just a ploy to get more money from people. I bet the restaurant has good food, but the rudeness of the parking staff was enough to keep me from ever trying and eating here.

Great food. Decent service. My first two times going to this place, my service was great; today on the other hand the host were a bit on edge. It was very hot outside. The outdoor seating had a fan blowing hot air. Got the waffle Delight and I feel like my chicken was not seasoned. Very disappointing as I was bring my fiancé here for his first experience. Love the waffles.

I'm pretty surprised by the reviews because we had such a great experience and food was great too! I went the Saturday before Easter without a reservation with my son around 1030a. Valet was quick. And only $6. We were sat in about 10-15 mins which was quick considering. The waiter was fun and personality was welcoming. But the best part was my food! The catfish, grits, and greens were my goodness! Amazing!!! I want to go back just for that. My son got the açaí bowl. I devoured my food and forgot to take a picture! Haha

Made a last minute reservation thru Resy to take my wheelchair bound MIL for a Thanksgiving brunch outing and we had a great experience! The place is wheelchair accessible & staff seamlessly removed a chair from a table to make room for our party. We ordered continental breakfast, shrimp & Grits and french toastie. All were good and MIL even finished everything on her plate! The place is cute with several seating areas as well as an outdoor patio. Server politely & clearly informed that gratuity has been added to the bill since it's a holiday, which we didn't mind at all! We very much appreciated them working on a holiday to accommodate us.

First review in a while, it's really not much to say but this place was amazing. Beautiful ambiance was in theme for the holidays with soulful Christmas music and an extra plus the music was not too loud. Service was awesome no complaints, I believe her name was Aniha or something close to that but her timing was perfect attentiveness. Everyone got different food items and it was all good! We can't wait to go back pictures below.

The food here is really good! I've been twice -- once I dined in, and once I ordered to-go. When I sat down and ate there, the experience was great. I had a dish with catfish, potatoes, and eggs (I think!), and everything was delicious. My cousin's order was great too. The only thing I would say is I wish there were more options to customize or modify plates, but I understand some places have a set menu and that's fine. As for the service -- it's a little hit or miss overall, but our waitress was amazing. Her energy and attentiveness really made the experience better. When I ordered to-go, the experience wasn't as smooth, so personally, I'd recommend dining in if you can. Things can get a little off when it's takeout, but when you're there in person, it's definitely a vibe! Overall, check them out -- the food is worth it, and every experience is a little different!

This is place is simply amazing! The customer service is incredible and I enjoyed talking with Jacob. The food here is top shelf and the coffee had wonderful flavor to it. The chicken tenders had a well seasoned batter and were cooked to perfection. The decor is fantastic with bright colors, large windows for natural light and beautiful lighting around the bar and walls. The Christmas music was great. I wish I lived local but I was passing through so I will have to work hard to get back here.

I throughly enjoyed sunrise house. The esthetics catered more to women but it's beautiful. They had a couple extra decorations for Halloween. The food was really good and my steak was made to perfection. I got cheese added to my eggs but they were good as well. The server was really nice and attentive. It's honestly the best breakfast spot I've been to in Houston and I don't have to wait a hour like I would have if I had went to Breakfast club.

While in town we were searching for a new breakfast spot. The Sunrise did not disappoint. We had their continental breakfast special. The cheese grits were ok. I enjoyed the Mimosa flight. We had a wonderful waitress, Bria. The ambiance was a vibe and decorated for Halloween. Will definitely go back.

This was on my list and passed by multiple times so was excited to finally try it. Was able to snag a res (I wouldn't recommend walk-in or else you have time to burn). It was raining on this particular day so longer wait - there's a $20 cancelation fee (so CC info required - that's fine I guess). *reservation for 1:30P - seated @ 1:42P - not too bad, the host acknowledged the wait and gave a complimentary mimosa (this didn't come for another 35mins) *food arrived at 2:28P (overall timing for service was bad overall). I can understand the limited seating due to the weather, but wouldn't mean more waitstaff : patron? While the food took a while, they give croissants for the table (standard) which were really good! I was especially looking forward to the pancakes with crispy edges(?) or so as described in a review. While I liked the pancakes, it was moreso a gummy texture throughout. So a little let down. Otherwise the food was good, not great. The mimosa was too much syrup. My biggest complaint was the payment part. With this new wave of paying on thr POS, there's 20% MANDATED tip already added to your bill, and then they ask you to tip AGAIN! That left a bad taste in my mouth, and a warning to ask before patronizing restaurants- will you tell me what to pay and then still ask for more? That's GREED. The 2 stars was because of the hostess having a really pleasant demeanor even as it was getting crowded by the entrance and handling everything with grace. The forced tip was a big turn-off. - I would say it's worth going during the week; they have some specials and would definitely go back as a walk-in and while their mandated tip is higher than my standard at least now I know.

Valet or park on the street. The service from our waiter was the only great thing! Shout out to him! The kitchen was delayed. The food was not very warm. The food was ok, Nothing deliciously memorable. The hostess was rude, outputting and not a good communicator. The management really needs to step in and assist with creating a more efficient way of turning tables over. Overall, don't recommend there are soooooooooooooooo many other choices nearby that are competitive with flavor and service.

This place has a dress code! Just wanted to make that clear so that nobody was surprised before they went in there lol. I ordered the shrimp and grits and that was pretty good. Had a little kick. The service is pretty good though? I don't recall the waiters name, but he was super attentive up until the end when he swapped our cards on accident. I don't think that that's something that happens all the time so definitely recommend.

My daughter is a pro at finding great places for us to try. It looked so cute and had a great menu selection. We called and tried to get reservations this morning, but they did not take them over the phone even for our party of 8. After driving an hour and a half and valeting, we were told they could not seat us. What a huge disappointment! We loaded back up and went a half mile down the street to Southern Yankee Crafthouse. Much better so see that review!
