Sunshine Cafe

Great, friendly service and the food is yummy!

Awesome Food. Wish i could say the same for the restaurant because there is construction close by. Temporarily at Muligans landing for breakfast 2851 N.Rancho.
Staff is super friendly and service is on point. Will definitely come back for more!

They have moved to a new location mulligans landing on rancho and Decatur and its the same crew… they moved due to the whole parking situation

Loved taking a step back in time. Loved the personal atmosphere in this place! It appeared that everyone knew everyone which I love! We were greeted by about four different people and the waitresses were fighting to take care of us! Our coffee and water stayed full the entire time. The coffee was great. I ordered the SOS which is beef and gravy poured over toast and a side of hashbrowns… I wish I could eat this every single morning! We will make this a regular breakfast place… we are new to Las Vegas and can’t wait to be a regular here!

Think bright yellow and orange booths, daisy light fixtures hanging overhead, and trival pursuit cards on each table to play while waiting on your food. It’s a throw back to 1970’s, all that was missing was shag carpeting!
Now what about the food? Simple, straight foward, right from your Momma’s kitchen. My choice today, country breakfast, scrambled, two sauage patties choice of potato and biscuit with milk gravy!
Very good, simple, nothing fancy. Cooked well, gravy is thick, with bits of sauage and and seasoned, reminds me of the South!
Overall, good service, simple food and price is right!

Great service… the food was good. I like the hometown feel, especially listening to the old guys talking about cars & football. The waitress were very friendly. I tried the SOS, (see pic) it was okay… something new & different. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu !!

I have previously been to the Sunshine Café and admire the small town feel and «everybody knows your name» vibe I get when walking in. Our Friday morning «Breakfast Club» chose Sunshine for this week’s meeting of the minds in part so that I could continue my quest for the ultimate Chicken Fried Steak. I had reviewed the authorings of fellow Unilocalers prior to dining and discovered one of them had a bad experience with the CFS after being warned by the waitress that the quality of the CFS varied depending on who was running the grill on that particular day.
I didn’t make any inquiries with the waitress regarding the CFS. I figured I would order it and give it it’s due process good, bad or indifferent. Of all the places I’ve included in my quest for the ultimate Chicken Fried Steak, this was by far the worst of the bunch without question. This was not lightly breaded and smothered in gravy like EVERY other place included in the quest. This was an unbreaded piece of meat served on top of the gravy. Apperance aside, the first bite was not appetizing and almost brought the meal to a screeching halt. The potatoes (I got home fries) were undercooked, as was the anemic pancake I got in place of toast. Three of the five in our group got pancakes and there was no consistency between the three.
Although the waitress was extremely friendly and the coffee was never empty, she brought the meals out one plate at a time for our party of five. I can’t speak for the others in the group, but this was not a good experience for me. I am normally not a «one and done» kind of guy and will eventually give the Sunshine Café another shot based solely on previous visits, but will defintely scratch the CFS from my list of choices.

Love the «my grandma’s living room» vibe! Coffee was mighty tasty, bacon was crispy to my liking, hash browns were fab! Unfortunately, the lovely server brought one plate at a time to our table of five so the first person served had cold food by the time the final person received hot vittles. That and the pancake, served to my breakfast-​mate, that looked like someone took a bite out of it reduced it to three star rating. I’ll still go back because I really dug it!

This is a true blue old school breakfast jewel. From the Formica table tops to the old humorous posters and the delicious coffee this is a real nod to diners of the 70s. The staff is friendly, the service is excellent and the joint is chock full of regulars every day. Simple menu with simple stuff I recommend the Pioneer (8.95) for the hungry: 3 eggs, bacon ham or sausage, potatoes (get the O’Brien’s!) and short stack of pancakes.
Sunshine is not in a trendy area. It is located near the inner city in a rougher part of town and the strip mall it’s in is a bit dilapidated. A fine place for a morning meeting if you choose a booth or more communal dining at a table it is a worthy spot!

The lady here was super nice. I really liked this spot as a breakfast joint. Everyone knew each other — the food was okay but the atmosphere made it up. It it is in a rinky dink area but I would still check it out again when I am in vegas.

Came here last weekend for breakfast. It was my second time there. I wanted to like this place, really, as I generally like to patronize the mom and pop shops and the dives. However, I just can’t get into this for breakfast. It was vacant when we were there, unusually vacant per the waitresses. The waitresses were friendly, almost to much so, I think the waitress we had would have gladly pulled up a seat and incesently talked the whole time we were there. Not that I don’t appreciate friendliness but I also wanted to just enjoy the company of who I was with. Décor is a throw back to the 70’s, with bright oranges and yellows. Definetely a locals older crowd. Like Cheers — everyone knew their names of the few of other people that were sitting at the lunch counter.
I had the the Pioneer Breakfast, the big ticket item on the menu ($ 8.95), but I wanted eggs and pancakes and this fulfilled both of my requirements. I thought I was ordering too much food and wouldn’t be able to finish but in reality the portion size was that I could finish it. Granted I gave my bacon away. Bacon was crispy, not microwaved like IHOP does. Pancakes were decent, but I didn’t like that they only provided you with Log Cabin syrup — I guess I shouldn’t expect maple syrup. They did accomodate me when I asked for scrambled eggs with cheese on them (my way of trying to incorporate a omelet into my breakfast as well).
So it was okay, but I wouldn’t go back. Previously I had the chicken fried steak, I was underwhelmed with the quality– chewy and tough. Although, to their credit, the waitress I had then (who was great, and I think I have read other Unilocal reviews on her) tried to warn me of the inconsistency in the product depending on who was cooking, which was ironically the owner on that day, and I went against her sound advice as I was determined to have it. That time my friend at the pork cutlet with gravy and she loved it, I tried a bight and it was very tender, I should have picked the pork.
It is inexpensive, but I would rather pay a few extra dollars and try somewhere else next time.

I was trying to find a new bfast spot not too far from my house and came across this one on Unilocal.It was pretty run down and the food wasn’t as good as I thought it’d be. I guess my first sign should have been when I told the waitress I was between two things (one of which was chicken fried steak n eggs) and she warned me against it because it’s usually not that great (chewy/​fatty). I’m glad she warned against it… but maybe they should step their game up if they know it’s not very good?

Sunshine café is a great place to have a home cooked meal while out and about. Great food great prices great service.

I feel like I’ve walked into a nice little old lady’s home filled with odds and ends and photos of random people.
The area is a bit intimidating, but as a local, you learn to see passed that.
Service is good and servers always keep your drinks filled.
Typical diner food, but GOOD diner food and at good prices it’s a win win situation.
Our server Cassi was so sweet and witty-​we loved her!
The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because you leave the place smelling like eggs and hash browns. LOL!

This place does not look like much at all. Maybe that’s a good thing! The décor is orange and yellow. Like I stepped back into the 70’s. I have to say, it was surprisingly cheery.
We were greeted by the nicest wait staff. They were very attentive, and came around often to top off our coffee.
I had eggs benedict, and I always change out the Canadian bacon for bacon. I have to say, this was one of the best eggs benedicts that I have ever had. The bacon was crispy, and extremely flavorful. The hollandaise was wonderful. Hubby got the pork chops and eggs. Two cutlets were good. Good portions on both of our plates. I liked the choice of potatoes o’brien as the potato.
Definitely going back, and soon!

Sunshine Café is a egg and bacon serving time machine. As Vegas has grown, time stopped I don’t know, around maybe 1978? It reminds me of eating in my grandma’s kitchen as a kid but on a larger scale. Not a diner, not a greasy spoon but café with an old school vibe.
The chow is delicious and affordable unlike a commercial breakfast joint in some commercial center with a Lowe’s attached to it. I ordered a delicious omelet with green chili’s, cheese and sausage. The hash browns (extra crispy) were delicious.
The service was impeccable! Our coffee cups never ran cold and empty. At the end of the meal we were even asked if we wanted a cookie.
Your fellow diners also add to the charm and character of Sunshine. Some reading, some talking about all manner of things early morning related but all enjoying a comfortable, unique and historical breakfast experience.

This was my second time having breakfast at the Sunshine Café. Most of our hiking group decided to have a gathering this morning and enjoy breakfast together.
I really like this place. People have described it as homey or retro – both good adjectives. The service is just about the best you could have – pleasant, efficient, and friendly. Our server today was Wendy and she was back several times to make sure our coffee cups were always filled.
I got the Texas chili omelette. You get a really nice amount of chili on the omelette. I had a choice of the kind of cheese I wanted in the omelette and I went with cheddar. The breakfast comes with home fries or hash browns and choice of toast.
We had nine people at breakfast and our wait time from ordering was short. The group was pleased with the food and the service.
I’ll be back.

Flower power, baby! Before I tell you about the mediocre food, I do want to start off by letting you know that this place is so cute and offers a very homey atmoshphere– it’s like the Partridge Family meets the Brady Bunch. The décor is adorable, I’ll give them that. It’s total 60’s/70’s retro… nothing psychedelic, just orange and yellow booths with old wood paneling on the walls and cute flowers that adorn the orange and yellow hanging lights.
The food is nothing to do back flips over. It’s not bad, but it’s nothing special, no knock-​your-​socks-​off omelets or skillets or anything like that. In fact, they don’t even offer skillets, which is why I prefer Lou’s Diner down the street over this place (But Lou’s is a bit pricier, so we tend to go to Sunshine Café more than we’d like — cheapskates, I know).
They offer 3 types of potatoes. The hash browns are very plain and they don’t pile ‘em on your plate like I like (oink oink). So why do I continue to go here you ask? It’s friggin CHEAP!!! My 2 egg breakfast is only $ 4.95, and my son always gets their HUGE mountain man type platter of food and it’s only about $ 8, so it’s worth it to have someone else cook your breakfast once in a while.
I think the food at Sunshine Café is really only 2 star worthy, but because the service is always outstanding and the place is just so freakin cute I’m bumping it up to 3. Also kudos for the Trivial Pursuit cards on all the tables… hereby making any wait for our order (which usually isn’t that long because they’re so quick, even when they’re super busy) pleasurably fly by.

I’ve seen this place many times and I was finally compelled to try it out after reading such great reviews.
I came here for breakfast. The place definitely does look very 60s with all the yellow and orange décor. You’re allowed to sit wherever you want when you come in, which is always nice. There was about 7 groups of people already in the restaurant, which was kind of surprising because it doesn’t look like a place that’d be that popular. I heard one of the waitresses say to another waitress, «wow, we have a lot of new comers today.» So I’m guessing it’s slowly getting more business
We seated ourselves and ordered coffee and orange juice; it came out immediately. The coffee was pretty good, I had about 3 cups! The orange juice wasn’t fresh squeezed, but still refreshing.
After looking over the decently sized breakfast menu I decided to order the Waffle Breakfast. Normally I’d get the pancake breakfast, but I wanted to try something a little different. It was only $ 5.95 and came with one waffle, eggs, and your choice of bacon/​ham/​sausage. I chose sausage of course! My boyfriend ordered the Country Breakfast for $ 6.25 which included 2 sausage patties, 2 eggs, home fries, and a biscuit with gravy.
While waiting for the food to come, we noticed they had Trivial Pursuit cards stacked on the table, so we got to play that to pass the time, it was very fun!
Our food came and we dug in. My waffle was Very dry, even after filling all the little squares with butter, jam, AND syrup (I know, that sounds a little overdone). It was pretty disappointing. I was hoping to have a good waffle experience, but it wasn’t. I also got a sausage PATTY, which I’m not normally fond of. I mean, it obviously tastes the same, but I prefer links. My boyfriend ate all his food, but said it was mediocre.
I’m sure if we ordered other dishes, like the Hash and eggs or chicken fried steak, it would’ve been pretty good, but we just wanted to order something different and it wasn’t satisfying. However, what was satisfying was the bill. $ 16.97 for 2 cups of OJ, 3 cups of joe, and 2 breakfasts is more than enough reason to get me coming back!

After a late night out on Mischief Night, my friends & I finally headed out for «breakfast» around 2:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon. My friend, a local from Vegas, said she knew a place she wanted to take us to that would be perfect for our hunger.
Hungover & starved, I would have ate a doiley with some ketchup on it at this point, we walked into the Sunshine Café and I immediately felt at home. The décor is warm & homely, if you like the warm colors of the 70s, which I do. The waitress was super friendly and made us feel like one of her kids.
The food was cooked to order. Fantastic. Coffee was to die for. The prices were just right. My bottomless cup of joe was keeping me awake until the food was ready. When it was placed in front of me, I dove in. An omelette with veggies, cheese on top, with a side of whole wheat toast & homefries. Yea, I ate it all. It was that good & I was that hungry.
Whether you live in the Vegas area or are in town for a vacation, I highly recommend you take your hiney off the strip long enough to find Sunshine Café. While it is not in the most desirable areas, the Sunshine Café brings some rays of goodness into your life, and your stomach.
