Sunny Side Up Diner

Very good breakfast buffet nice atmosphere friendly staff definitely coming back to try for lunch. Only breakfast and lunch served

This is the perfect spot for breakfast in Calabash. The eggs Benedict are absolutely amazing and perfectly seasoned with a wonderful homemade hollandaise. The omelets are delicious. The buffet has a great selection and when you get the buffet you get eggs made to order.

Great food at good price … Well worth it… Everything cooked to order … I stop here every time I’m down this way … Great breakfast

Service was OK. Place wasn’t busy at all and the buffet was taking forever to be refilled. People were waiting for about 15 minutes for eggs at a breakfast buffet.
They also forgot to bring my father in law his toast for 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly and apologetic, but doesn’t deserve more than 2 stars.

So, when we saw the sign that their special was Fried Chicken with two sides, we decided to stop. I instinctively checked Unilocal before going in and it had 5 stars.
The restaurant is only open until 3:00pm, but it was 1:30, so we were good right?
Uh, no. All 5 of us wanted fried Chicken. We saw several people eating it when we were being seated and it looked good. But, when we tried to order our waitress said «oh, well the guy who makes the chicken isn’t here and he won’t be back soon and it takes 30 minutes to cook it». Seriously? It’s 1:30!
Apparently they only have one person that can cook chicken and god knows where he went! We should’ve left right then, but we were hungry. My dad ordered the Buffett for some ungodly reason even though it was very apparent that the food had been there since morning and the gravy had a gelatinous film on it. He regretted it almost immediately. I ordered a fried chicken salad that was supposed to have boiled egg, cheese, fried chicken etc… I got; a plate of lettuce with diced onion and green pepper on it! And the frozen chicken paddy seemed old and tasted like someone dumped salt all over it. Of the other 3 meals; a hamburger that was not eaten, a taco salad that was okay and chocolate chip pancakes were apparently the only eatable thing out of the whole mix. I’m stunned at the rating of this place. Maybe the breakfast buffet is good in the mornings. I will not eat here again, there are way too many other places that want your business and the cook sticks around until closing time.

Family friendly, the owner came over to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Buffett was well stocked and clean. l if you want fancy, go elsewhere. This is a great place to take the family as you break from the beach.

We stopped on our way home after a week at the beach. The service was absolutely amazing and friendly; we were treated as if we’d been regulars all our lives.
Since we were in a hurry, we opted for the breakfast buffet (x3). Everything that each of us tried was absolutely delicious. The bacon, sausage, eggs, grits, and home fried potatoes were fantastic. The highlight of it all were their pork chops; these were perfectly seasoned and fork tender.
The fruit was fresh and tasty and the wife & kids related that the other starches (french toast, waffles and muffins) were great as well.
Thank you to everyone at the Sunny Side Up for a perfect end to a perfect week.

Not bad but not great. Buffet items were either over or undercooked. Great staff though — very nice and friendly. I’d look elsewhere if ever needing a breakfast stop near that area again.

Excellent buffet and fresh coffee! Plus theyll make eggs any way u like it for free with the buffet! WONDERFUL AND FRIENDLY OWNERS AND SERVERS!

Friendly staff, great food, very tidy place.

Delicious buffet. Excellent service. Great, great prices for breakfast. If you don’t leave full, it’s your own fault!
