We really like going to this restaurant on a Sunday morning. Good eggs and great american fries. Service is fast and friendly and this is diffently a local hang out. My favorite is the biscuits and gravy, a nice large portion that tastes like home. Friday fish is very good too. Try their omelets, very tasty.

In addition to the restaurant on Central Ave. there is another on Kennedy Road. These restaurants are now owned by a family from Albania, and they serve consistantly good family fare at reasonable prices. I think one of the major pluses for these restaurants is that they serve breakfast all day. A favorite meal of mine. I have eaten in... More

Very good down to earth basic menus with many selection choices. While the food is good and service excellent, one if the real appeals is the very reasonable cost. Breakfast specials of $2.99 a plate mean breakfast with coffee can be had for under $5.00. Highly recommended especially if on a budget. Service fast and friendly

The Sunshine Family Restaurant couldn't be a secret to the folks of Dubuque. I spent the night at the Hilton in Dubuque, Iowa and needed a Saturday breakfast stop, the Iphone suggested the Sunshine so I found it in short order. There were enough cars parked in and around the restaurant, ergo, I decided it was worth a try. The... More

Low prices, average food. Nothing seems homemade and they give you HUGE quantities. This review is for the west side location.

We stopped at this local eating establishment for breakfast on New Year's Day. The place was packed. The diners ranged from teens to seniors. We had a short wait but were seated as soon as a table was available. The server quickly took our order. My husband had the gyro omlete and I had the southern skillet. Both of our... More

Bases on reviews our party of three ate at this below par restaurant. The wait staff was pleasant and efficient. My husband ordered the veal cutlet which arrived covered with canned gravy. The vegetable was overlooked gray-green peas which appeared to also be canned peas. Our guest and I ordered breakfast which was greasy and totally devoid of flavor. The... More
