Friends traveling with us enjoy breakfast out nearly every day...we all enjoyed our selections. My eggs were drop-poached to perfection...my only disappointment was "no gluten-free bread-type" choices, but a substitution of sliced tomatoes was made without any extra charge. Service with a Sun Rise Smile!!!

Had a couple of very good breakfasts here during our stay. This was a return visit and it didn't disappoint us. Service and food were great.

We came to the Palmetto Bay Sun Rise Cafe because we'd heard about the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. And we weren't disappointed. Really delicious and not drowned in sauce. Friendly staff and a very pleasant atmosphere.

We had brunch on the porch on a gorgeous morning. The food was great and so was the service. Only downside was the warm air blowing on us from the air conditioning units and the grits were a little bland. Other than that, this was a wonderful and charming place for brunch on the island.

Eat, then shop . This place is a great place for singles, couples or families - relaxed indoor or deck seating. All egg dishes are great and more than adequate servings of potatoes and sides. French toast is disappointing - should've challah bread and more browned . Staff are friendly , very attentive and never rush you ! Endless coffee... More

This was our first visit to Hilton Head. I would rate the service a ten and above! The Cafe is very clean and cute. The food was wonderful. We were in town for only three days and went there everyday I would not even look at any other place for breakfast. In the 3 days we both had different dishes... More

Went for breakfast and discovered a typical dinner with a friendly staff. It was good but nothing memorable.

We visited Palmetto Bay Sun Rise Cafe on a Sunday morning, and the wait time for a table was 30 minutes. We were seated 28 minutes later. The menu has lots of interesting choices, but of note were the pancakes, which were outstanding. The wait staff all wait on all tables, an interesting model that ensures quick and friendly service.... More

A great location for breakfast, lunch/brunch! Must try the Bloody Mary's. I have the cucumber Bloody Mary and my husband hand the bacon infused vodka Bloody Mary. Both outstanding. Crab cake Benedict's are awesome,
