Reviews for Sunrise Diner in Lafayette, IN
About 9 or 10 years ago I was living downtown and looking for a job. This was one of the places I stopped in at to try my luck.... I had the opportunity to meet the owner, I asked him if I could fill out an application. He obliged and handed me a paperapplication. I asked if I could borrow a pen or pencil and he scoffed, giving me a nasty look, "You're looking for a job anddidn't bring a pencil with you?" Bro you're running a restaurant and don't have a pencil to briefly loan? Incredibly arrogant,condescending encounter. I left without filling out the application (why would I want to work for someone like that?). Anyways,a decade later and I still remember that interaction. The memory of the sheer amount of arrogance has forever turned me off ofever eating here. Why would I want to support someone who acts like that? Read more
The one star is simply for the service because it was decent. The food on the other hand...easily the worst breakfast I've ever... had in my life. I don't know if they pay people for 5 star reviews or if I just caught them on their absolute worst day. Theomelette was terribly flavorless, the hash browns were bland and cold, and the biscuits and homemade gravy that they brag abouttasted like wet flour. I will not be returning, and I don't have many good things to say about sunrise unless you're not pickyabout your food having flavor. The lady working was a tad dry but nice and considerate. I truly wish the food was better as ILOVE breakfast food, and I tend to stay off of the internet with making reviews, but this experience was pretty horrible. Read more
Only one wait in this busy restaurant, and she never seemed rushed she took her time to answer any questions we had. Perfect... service, tasty food, great coffee!!!! I will go again when I'm in the area!! Read more
Exactly what you would expect and want from a diner. Good food, friendly staff, and interesting stuff on the walls. For the... reviews that complain about cash only or ATM, I?m not sure how many more signs they could have about it being a cash only place. Food was very reasonably priced, sausage gravy was made fresh (as advertised), eggs were done over medium as asked (hard to getsometimes), and it came out fast. Only critique was the biscuit was just ok, I?ve had better. Read more
This little place downtown serves up some tasty breakfast at great prices. We came during a Farmer's Market day and parking... downtown was a bit hard to find. I tried the Western Omelette and it was great. The Coney Tenderloin, however, was ratherflavorless and kind of a disappointment. I'd recommend sticking to breakfast. Our only complaint was that service is superspotty. The first time our server must have been having a bad day, as she did not seem like she wanted to be there. We allhave those days. Came back a second time and service was awesome! The third time it took almost 2 hours to get out ofthere. If you're an IU grad, be sure to check out their IU room! Read more
Travels took us back to Indiana for a short time ? and I was craving a breaded tenderloin. For breakfast? Sure thing! And the... waitress did not even think I was crazy. It was delicious. The diner is clean, safe and efficient. My husband and I would be aregulars if I didn?t live in North Carolina! Read more
So far my favorite place in the city. Very kind prices for being able to pick a lot of items individually. Delicious hot... food. Pretty sure my server took care of the whole place. Very well done and beautiful decor too with the vintage cameras. Can'twait to be back Read more
If you were here 30 years ago, not much has changed. Probably, because there is no need to change. Healthy portions. Tasty... breakfast grub. Tight seating. Tighter bathrooms. Superior service. This is a phenomenal place to debrief from a night ofshenanigans or to just have a cup of Joe and B&G. Good breakfast diner. Read more
