Sunnyside Diner

It's rare that I have few words for an establishment, but the sum of what I can say about this location is as follows: - A southern comfort - A treat for those looking to change their routine spots when esting out - A breath of fresh air in the quality of staff as well as quality of food If you have yet to experience this charming place, I hope this review encourages you to do so. Personally, the homemade rolls with the homemade grape jam is a stellar favorite, and I only wish I could buy them in bulk so I could enjoy them all month long!

My fave breakfast destination in OKC is clearly a local fave as well. It quickly packs out, but is worth the wait. Open only from 6am-2pm, Sunnyside serves up American comfort food, but with some twists and turns. They also have an abundant plant-based section of the menu. For those who demur from the typical, breakfast can be one of the hardest meals to dine out, unless you are good with plain oat meal, dry toast, and a side of potatoes. 

Sunnyside rises to the occasion, and I had their Tofu Scramble, which is filled with superfood veggies and enough spice to get my sinuses up and at ‘em. A side of soy chorizo added even more zest. Wheat toast topped off the meal, along with endless coffee served with a smile.

Sadly, I discovered their NW 6th location to be temporarily closed (it looked like a fire had happened), so I ventured to their SW 89th cafe (they have five locations total in the metro). I’ll keep coming back for Sunnyside. They do breakfast right.

Don't get me wrong, they do have a bunch of plant-based options! I went ahead and had a plant-based chorizo burrito. But other reviews said they had vegan options, although they do have a plant-based and vegan sided menu, they do not separate their Foods in preparation. Meaning if you order something that's got to be cooked where everything else is cooked, there's a chance for contamination so if you're vegan, that's something to think about when ordering fries or anything that has to come off the grill- but still, I ate! And it was good!

Great hole in the wall Retro diner with great food and atmosphere that includes a fireplace in the middle that's really cool and interesting. However, getting seated and waiting for help, even during a random mid-morning weekday timeframe was a little disappointing, as we were lucky that another server finally decided that we'd been sitting there for 15 minutes and helped us instead of our assigned waitress. Kudos to him for making the experience salvageable and worth checking out again.

Not perfect. Food took a little long to come out. A customer had their Rottweiler dining inside with them and it 100% was not a service dog (why weren't they out on the patio?). Things that might normally knock my rating lower... But... Honestly, this place is awesome. Service was super on point, our waitress was very attentive and aware of us, great communication, food was excellent, great quality. Maybe most importantly, COFFEE was actually good and strong for a diner. Also, while we sat inside, the outdoor patio area looked very nice, we'll definitely hit that up next time. So, the flaws are definitely forgiven. We'll be back and we look forward to it.

Got the classic breakfast. The home fries were a little too crunchy, but everything else was great. Typical breakfast place with delicious homemade jam. Many vegetarian plates as well. The space has a great “1970s house feel” with vintage paintings and wall hangings. Service was friendly and fast! Go try it out🤙🤙

This was a good spot for breakfast, and a bunch of other people thought so too. There was a 20 min wait at 10:15a, no big deal, and no surprise on Christmas Eve. The food was good, service was friendly, and the spiked coffee was nice and boozy. The place is a typical diner, nothing fancy, but clean. Will return, especially because it's just around the corner from our new house.
