Sunnyside Grill is your classic glimpse of an American diner. Tucked away in the greater Cincinnati region, this diner takes pride in its home with not only Cincinnati style chili on the menu, but also their famed breakfast platters scream Cincinnati. The Smelvin is a pile of breakfast goodness including eggs, bacon, ham, goetta, potatoes and of course, cheddar cheese. This platter is so large that two or three people can eat this monstrosity and be full. Between the mound of cheddar cheese and the goetta, this breakfast reminds you that Sunnyside calls Cincinnati home. With bacon so crispy it shatters and perfectly fried potatoes, this place reminds you that the star of any diner is whatever masterpiece graces that griddle during the breakfast hours.

I loved this place!! I'm not local, so I wanted to experience local food. I tried The Smelvin and it did not disappoint!! I realized a few bites in that I left something in my hotel room that I just checked out of, and they held my food for me just like I asked!!! They offered to reheat it, but it was still hot!! I did add jalapenos and 2 over easy eggs. However the Smelvin (small) is easily enough for 3-4 people The pic I added does not do its size justice. It is bigger than it looks. Super great people, super good breakfast. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

Awesome place to get breakfast or lunch. Tons of food for your money. You really can't go wrong! I've never got anything bad here. Their double deckers are absolutely huge and delicious!

Great, classic dinner food. Hearty portions and creative dishes. Some dishes might seem excessive but everything is done right... Very busy and decent service. I sadly forgot pictures but I can say one dish is all you'll need.

Although close to Cincinnati this is off the beaten path, has a small-town feel with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The food is good, with generous portions, and the staff is friendly. It’s clearly a local favorite. If you’re passing through and looking for a good one of a kind restaurants it’s worth checking out.

Talk about some good food. My family left so full we were all ready for a nap. The food here is amazing and it tastes so good. They are a busy little place so I recommend going early unless you don't mind waiting for someone to finish. Your food comes out pretty quickly after you order it. All the staff here work extremely hard and it shows in their service and food. Sunnyside is a favorite on the Westside and we can't wait to go back and have it again soon!

There was a line to get in but it was worth the wait! Food was great, served fast, fresh, and most notable of all; huge portions. The food was well seasoned. I got the western omelet with jalapenos and my wife got the Smelvin with jalapenos. I did observe other diners getting the burgers, they were huge and looked very good. Good sweet tea. Our server did a good job despite the place being absolutely packed. Overall great experience here.
