What a great place to eat. First time back here for many months and this 50’s style diner never fails to impress. Food is fresh and excellent, qualities are generous and the service is great. We had Brunch this time and each meal came with a heaping bowl of fresh fruit. Nice to see such a busy popular spot. We highly recommend.

Best breakfast in town... 18 years or so we've been coming here... John... the man in black... the man in the back.... the chef... the king... a true champion..... hands down the most careful... and precious... chef in town. Whole crew at Sunshine Diner are the best of the best... from the top to the bottom.

Loved the 50s theme. I got the meat lovers plater and everything was delicious. It's nice that their mixed fruit sides are more than just the usual melon and grapes. The one complaint our table had was that both the waffles and pancakes had a not-so-great texture. The taste was fine, though.

A great breakfast hangout.
This is no ordinary diner, it’s retro interior & generous serves of delicious classics & new twists on the breakfast/brunch classics.

They have a range of eggs Benedicts to choose from which can include the special west coast which has lobster & smoked salmon. Great option to have is that they can be ordered as one or two. Most breakfast items come with a serve fresh fruit & house fries.

The house fries were a highlight- thick slices of crinkle cut potatoes deep fried to perfection & seasoned well!
The milkshakes were thick & creamy, a cold treat you have to try.

My recommendations- get there early & try their range of egg bennys!

My girlfriend loves anything retro, appliances, food, fashion, you name it. I wanted to find a retro diner that was very dog friendly. When a friend had mentioned this one, I was excited and eager to go.

Parking up front was easy. There's some free parking on the side streets. Our service was incredible btw, from start to finish.

If your a dog owner and want a very dog friendly patio, this is a great location. There's plenty of shade on the left side of the patio, and your furry friend can dine next to you or under your table. Nobody seemed bothered and our husky was brought fresh cold refills. The food is is a great balance. We didn't feel like greased out monkeys struggling to get out of our chairs. The Bennys you can modify by choosing a different half. For example, you can have a ham one, and a mushroom one, separately one plate. I love it because of the variety.

I would definitely come back. My dog loved the shade on the patio. Maybe one day Vancouver would be like Seattle and bring dogs into restaurants. My girlfriend enjoyed the decor and music inside.

This is a great diner with an oldies feel to it. I had the half order of grandma's poached egg with spinach, feta and I added turkey bacon (also came with a cup of fruit and home fries). Their home fries are great - nicely seasoned! It's too bad they put pineapple in with the fruit as I personally find other fruits get soggy. It otherwise was a great dish. My friend had the veggie lover's breakfast. The asparagus was grilled to perfection, however the avocado was certainly under ripened and not too edible. The price for the food we received overall was on par, although a little on the expensive side. The service was decent and servers were pleasant.

Last time I came I got the ham and cheese omelette, which was delicious and filling! The milkshakes are great and the waiters and waitresses are always friendly. I love the retro 60's diner feel and it really transports me back in time. The only bad food I've tried is the tuna melt which doesn't really melt- it just tasted like plain flaked tuna and cheese in a sandwich.

Enjoyed a really nice family breakfast there today. Omelettes were really light and tasty. Eggs Benny were definitely a great choice. Despite the busy restaurant, our server was very helpful, explaining the menu options and bringing our order promptly. Overall I would recommend Sunshine Diner as a good place for breakfast

Came for breakfast and it was great! Loved the atmosphere, it was a total blast from the past. I would recommend this place for all age groups, as there seemed to have been something for everyone. Eggs Benny was very good.

Does anyone else have difficulty choosing a restaurant when dining with grandparents? There’s so many requirements that the restaurant needs to meet! No background music (makes it difficult to hear conversation when you have a hearing aid), only straight up white food (my grandma would probably have a heart attack if I forced her to eat even sweet and sour pork), and comfortable seating (which basically rules out all hipster restaurants with their wooden stools and benches).  Which means that we more or less always go to the exact same place: White Spot. Now don’t get me wrong, as I’ve professed on this blog before, I love me a White Spot burger. But sometimes it does get old.

Only been here twice but had a pleasant experience both times. The place is full of funky and retro decor which makes it more fun to dine-in. The food isn't bad either, is what you expect from a diner.

UP - Had a benny and loved it. Lots of food for what ya pay, and watchin ol bugs bunny was right up my alley.

DOWN - My coffee was kinda rough. Could easily hear the staff b!tch and complain about random petty stuff.

OUT - This place is right retro outta left field. Theme aside the food was decent. Might want to head in early as it can build a big line up quickly.

I'm a hard critic when it comes to eggs Benedict but this place was great. Thick creamy flavorful hollandaise giving Zen Cafe a run for their money.

The food is pretty standard yummy diner fare: all-day breakfast, sandwiches, salads, burgers (beef, chicken, veggie), along with three Greek dishes. Okay, not exactly standard because it wasn't very greasy. The friendly service, while slow for a diner, would be reasonable for a regular restaurant. What puts the place a notch above is the fabulous 50's theme decor, with a Wurlitzer, photos of pop stars, cars popping out of the wall and lots more.

When our son gets to decide on a lunch spot, he often chooses the Sunshine Diner, probably mostly for its kitschiness but also because they know how to make a good basic burger, without any kind of fillers or fancy schmancy brioche buns that other places insist on using. Service is always friendly, and although the kitchen can get backed up when it's really busy, it's never been an unreasonable wait. The quality of the food, however, has rarely suffered. On this visit, just befo
