Had to kill some time and unexpectedly stopped into this diner. Nice environment, very clean, restrooms very clean as well. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.Chris our waiter provided Excellent service. Ordered an iced tea and received a giant glass. When ordering our meals with choices of soup, salad or salad bar. Chose the salad bar which was super fresh and good . We travel quite a lot and I am a connoiseur of diner meatloaf. This was the best meatloaf I have ever had. My husband ordered roast turkey dinner, received a giant portion of turkey that was moist and tender along with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. Took rice pudding to go which was also delicious. Food came out fast and when we got the bill we were shocked at how little this delicious meal cost. It was about an hour from our home but we have decided we are going to travel to eat there again. A definite must stop if in the area

Only 3 more Somerset Patriots Passport Diner to go!! The Sunrise Diner is a good addition to our diner line up. Excellent food!! The Sunrise breakfast Sammy (special) was outstanding. Service was a little spotty but can certainly be adjusted with a little more training. The customers were diverse with lots of families. Everyone enjoying a good time. So nice!! There is a ramp for accessibility, but it doubles as an emergency exit. The bathroom setup is also tight with several doors to handle and tight hallway. Dedicated parking lot.

I can't begin to tell you guys how much I love this place! They have more options than even chain restaurants, and their servers are always top-tier! I guarantee that you can come here every day and have something different each time. Chris was my server this time, and he was just as exceedingly pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating as they usually are. The place is always clean and organized, but a typical diner layout otherwise. The parking would be my least favorite thing about this place. Where there is sufficient parking it's always a little difficult to get out.
