Sunrise Restaurant

Restaurant historians have observed that the term, ‘greasy spoon’ first was used in 1902 as a derogatory term to describe a cheap, dirty, or unclean restaurant.  The term became more nostalgic through the decades, and now is often used in a more endearing way to describe the charm of a diner or café featuring simple and affordable comfort food.  Greasy spoon diners serve typically ‘heavier,’ comfort foods that are often grilled or fried, including eggs, bacon, chicken, grilled cheese, pancakes, fish and chips, or spam and sausages.  Sunrise Restaurant is no different, open for breakfast and lunch only, this neighborhood joint is exactly what you expect: diner style food, delivered quickly, so you can get on your way. Recently sold to a 35-year veteran employee, Sunrise offers generous portions; the staff is efficient and often friendly; and you can smell the sizzling bacon from the quasi-open kitchen upon arrival.  Sunrise has been serving Dewey Beach visitors for almost as long as the sun has been rising on the Delaware beach town, and for good reason, because your food arrives almost as quickly as it is ordered, and the prices and experience are worthy of your return, assuming your desire for a old fashioned diner does not become, well, old fashioned.
