I asked for my hash browns well done and the cook complied some bonus points for that. Cook and waitress run the joint& I guessed the are married, so it seems like a family operation for the most part.The clientele are a mishmash of old dudes- retired city worker types , cops on extended breaks, and/or people eating by themselves . Not sure why several customers disappeared through a door in the back when the parking lot is out front. Service is quick and the food some what decent but nothing great. Donated Sun Times are left for your reading pleasure on the bar and the TV channel on is WGN. There is also a sad pie/cake cooler that looked as if it contained outdated  baked goods for sale from the jewel osco across the street. I would not recommend this place because there isn't anything here you can't cook easily at home for way less than 1/2 the price of your check.
Review Source:Throwback indeed. Â This place is great. Â I had my bachelor party Saturday night, and this place was just what I needed come Sunday. Â Cheap and delicious. Â A crowd of 3-4 Greek guys that the waitress said are there for 3 hours, everyday. Â This place just makes ya feel home. Â Warm, welcoming, and delicious!! Â
I'd been going to the Jewel across the street for years, and never ventured into Sunshine, but I'm glad I did now!
Woah- what a throw-back. This place is absolutely fantastic!
Cozy little space: Â regulars shootin' the breeze at the counter with their Sundee newspapers and coffee. Old menus with the specials written in. But most important of all: very, very hearty food -and it's CHEAP!
Our waitress was also hysterical- she warned me that the Diet Coke had been tasting "funky" Â to the customers lately, and told me I may want to order something else.
There seriously aren't nearly enough places like this around- I'm in love and can't wait to go back.
It didn't seem very closed when I got breakfast there on Sunday. Considering the location, this is a solid greasy spoon diner. I wouldn't call it a destination, but my Sunshine Scramble hit the spot. It tasted exactly like I assumed it would. It's a shame that I'm too lazy to go out and buy a can of corned beef hash and some frozen hash browns to make it at home.
One odd thing was that my server informed me that, since she's new, she didn't know that I was supposed to get charged for refills on my iced tea. This was fountain tea. So she didn't charge me for the provided refills, but if I wanted another it'd be 55 cents.
Otherwise, it was all good.
This was a real good place to get some breakfast on a sunday morning. I was out and was in the mood for an omelet. I needed one from a diner as well, its the only way to go, so upon finding myself on kedzie I figured that sunshine would be a good place to stop in.
It was a nice and relaxed feel and I ordered up my ham and cheese omelet along with some hash browns. It was only a small wait before I had my food. Both the hash and omelet hit the spot and were at a great price as well
looks a little run down, inside and out. food is good if you don't get anything too complicated (breakfast foods are your best bet). I give this place 4 stars because i got nice breakfast without a huge freaking wait on a sunday at 930am...i got some very decent scrambled eggs, bacon toast, etc. and some surprisingly delicious diner coffee. surprisingly. and it was a cheap bill. i actually drove to starved rock, hiked all day (if that's what you want to call it), then drove back...all on this breakfast. oh yeah my stomach did not feel strange one bit. go if you are sick and tired of sheshe 14 dollar omlets and the like--or if you want something a little more....to the point.
Review Source:Eh...
Food = OK
Service = OK
Atmosphere = OK
Value = OK
This place just screams average. They carried out their average performance perfectly. It was flawless execution in mediocrity. This place did nothing to wow me to make me come back.
I ordered steak and eggs and Lara had pancakes. The pancakes were above average (borderline very good) but not enough to influence my review at all. We went there on a Saturday around 10:00 am and the place was not even half full. This is not a good sign.
For a hole in the wall, this place makes quite a good steak and eggs using nicely marbled (ok, somewhat fatty) cuts, seasoning just the right amount, and serving it fresh off the grill, with three kinds of Mexican salsa available on request. Â Friendly waitresses too.
Well worth the short trip from diner-starved Logan Square.
Note: NOT open 24 hours as the aging sign states.
Pulling from M-Shel's review.. the Japanese place that person was thinking of is on Kimball, further down near, Elston or some shit.
Any who. Â Was searching and searching for any option other than McDonald's n' White Castle and came across this joint.
It is a diner/joint at best. Â Some would say a hole-in-the-wall.
Ample parking right in front, awkward spaces.
It is dirt cheap. Â The food looks like it. Â The burgers have to be bought in bulk from Aldi, not sure about the dogs, they are so microscopic in their Aldi bun. Â
Since me and a buddy were the first customers of the morning, they were still setting up. Â I opted for a cheeseburger combo, fries weren't ready for the day yet, so they gave me hash browns instead. Â Not bad. Â Buddy had a chicken burrito with a side of rice. Â He says it was excellent with the salsa they gave, even had a second helping of the rice! Â I ordered a hot dog with all the trimmings. Â I could've done without that. Â The hot dogs sold at Home Depot are better looking. Â Anyway.. all that food and two cokes, was $13 buck a roos. Â The cook and waitress were cool people. Â Is this place a part of the Huddle House peeps? Â They offer a menu item named after Huddle, (Huddle House is a small diner on Kimball n' Lawrence.) By the way, check out the menu. Â $.75 cents charge for a carry out container! If you are a nut about spelling, you'll have a giggle.
Once 5:30a hit, a few more customers rolled in. Â Fuddy duddy types. Up since the crack of ass, applied some fresh ben gay and their out for some grub.
Ok experience, food was alright. Â No problems. Â Three stars cuz' its decent food and service at 5am Sunday morning.
