Sunrise Cafe — Restaurant in Town of Royalton

This family café is a little diamond in the rough. We have passed by this establishment many times with it either being packed or closed. Well, last weekend while on our way to Medina, we noticed that Sunrise Family Cafe was open. So, we did a quick U-turn and stopped in for something to eat for breakfast. We both ordered the western omelette with sour dough toast, fresh cut hash browns, and coffee from our very friendly waitress, Nicole. The locals, we found out later, come here often and everybody was glad to see some new faces. The staff were very personable and made sure that we were comfortable and that the food was up to our standards. And let me, tell you, the food served at Sunrise outdoes most of the restaurants in WNY. The prices cannot be beat! Nicole, was so kind and attentive throughout our breakfast meal. She even came to the front door to let us know she appreciated her tip. She was genuine in every way and not going through the motions of a business transaction. We can tell when a waitress is truly sincere and when not. We will definitely come back to this family restaurant. I felt bad when I drove back from Medina as I wanted to stop in again for their strawberry shortcake. It was getting late and the Sunrise Cafe was closed. But, my intent is to get there to order one of their slices of homemade pie or perhaps (lol) some strawberry shortcake...wink...wink.

Well, we went back today and were not disappointed. Everyone remembered us and treated us in such a kind manner. The coffee was delicious and never ending. Rachel (not Nicole, my bad) came over to our table, greeted us, and took our order. We ordered three eggs (me, sunnyside up, and my friend, easy over), hash browns (additionally I added cornbeef hash), sausage patties (hamburger sized), and sour dough bread. My yokes were just right so I could dip my sour dough toast in them, the hash was delish, and the toast done just right for dipping. Rachel was awesome and had no attitude. But, what she did possess was pure genuine concern about what has been happening in our lives. This is truly one of the many reasons why we tip very high at this establishment. She did not rush us, patiently waited for me to order (I am a bit indecisive at times), and carried on a lengthy conversation with my friend. I loved looking at all of the old fashioned pictures on the wall as well as the present day artwork. The restaurant itself is set up in such a way that you are not rubbing shoulders with the couple next to you. There is no bothersome echoing of voices which we have experienced in other dining avenues. The total for all that we ordered was a mere $16.49 before the gratuity was added. Once again, we will return if the cooking and hospitality are up to our standards. The Sunrise Family Café passes and will continue to pass our expectations all for the right reasons. Kudos to Renee, the owner, for hiring such a friendly and adept crew to serve its great food to repeat and newbie customers. Rachel and Stephanie always wear a smile and greet ya as you come through the door. I mean, these are down to earth and very wonderful people. Thus, I recommend this quaint little gem to highest degree. Some restaurants in the Buffalo and Amherst region should learn from the Sunrise and rise to the occasion of having breakfast, lunch (or dinner on Fridays), as well as Eggs Benedict on Sunday mornings. Amen to a great place in our book of places to dine where...

Renee (sp?) and her son is who I encountered on my visit to the Sunrise Cafe today. Renee is the owner and is just as pleasant as the name of the cafe would elude to.

I ordered the steak and eggs because I have never actually had steak and eggs for breakfast, and a side of corned beef hash with sourdough dough toast and a side of hash browns. (Yes, a lot of food)

I finished 98‰ of it. (Left 2 slices of toast) All was delicious. The steak was cooked medium rare and was delectable. The over easy eggs were perfectly cooked and runny like I love them, hash browns were nothing extremely special but still good.

I sat at the counter and watched a lot of their homemade oatmeal bowls with fresh fruit on top go out to a lot of customers. They looked incredible. They had a Texas French toast with cherries as a special today and that dish looked delightful as well. I'd def get that next time.

Can't wait to go back!!

Once again, no photos because I was too busy chatting with the regulars who were extremely welcoming. I'll add photos on...

The food was alright not the best but not bad either I had a steak omelette with cheese and my fiance had scrambled eggs. We both got home fries clearly the potatoes were not cleaned as we could taste dirt and let out mouths with a very bad bitter taste. The waitresses were okay our first waitress that got us our drinks was slightly rude and cold. But the main waitress for food as very nice and...
