Raising the Bar for Daytime Dining
At Sunrise Kitchen, we believe breakfast and brunch are more than just meals. They’re a reason to gather with the people you love.
We make every gathering memorable with locally-sourced ingredients, scratch-made menu items, and warm hospitality that makes guests feel right at home from the moment they step inside.
Our Values

Details Are Everything
Our Standard
We’re not your typical breakfast and brunch restaurant. We provide a level of service typically found in Michelin-rated establishments but with the warmth and prices of a casual dining spot.
We make sure every visit is consistent and that every guest is cared for. Every detail, from the cleanliness of the space to the attentiveness of your server, is something our team takes great pride in.
The Faces Behind the Brand
Meet Our Team
Spending half the year on the road for the past decade and dining at some of the most accomplished restaurants, Chris has something most owners never get: perspective. He has experienced firsthand what exceptional service feels like, what real value looks like, how ambiance shapes a meal, and why cleanliness is non-negotiable. He didn’t just eat—he observed, compared, and internalized what separates a good dining experience from a truly memorable one.

Jose Lupe Arrendondo
For Tricia and Lupe, it all began when the local restaurant chain The Good Egg opened its doors and the community embraced its hometown hospitality. For over 35 years, they operated the most successful locations ranked by the one metric that really matters: customer satisfaction and return visit rates. Together, Tricia and Lupe lead by example. It was their approach to leading with respect, professionalism, and unwavering focus on making each guest feel welcomed and special that made this duo the most sought-after management team in the daytime dining industry.
Opening Sunrise Kitchen became a way to bring all of that together in one place. It’s our standard, refined over time and across cities, translated into a space of our own. Every detail reflects what we’ve seen done right—and what we knew could be done better.
In a way, this restaurant is an extension of our travels and experience working for some of the most successful daytime dining restaurants in the country. It’s where everything we’ve learned about hospitality, consistency, and quality comes to life for every guest.
