Brighter Day Cafe

Super friendly, excellent food at excellent prices. Perfect downtown stop for a hearty breakfast. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a place to eat and relied on the listed hours, only to arrive and find a note stating the restaurant was closed despite the maps still showing it as open. On top of that, there was a sign making an unnecessary political statement, which only added to the disappointment. It's unfortunate that the owners felt the need to bring politics into the dining experience, as it creates an unwelcoming atmosphere. Overall, I'm giving 1 star due to the inaccurate business hours and the off-putting environment. On top of that, I do not get to freely express myself giving the review, that the owners or whomever feel the need to message me on the side to comment on my review right after it was posted. Very odd, very UNPROFESSIONAL but oh well, just proves my (and many others) point of view.

Quaint little cafe in downtown Suffolk. Been wanting to try this place for awhile. 80s theme / memorabilia and a simple straight forward menu. Prices are reasonable and portions are decent. I did feel the biscuit and gravy was a bit on the high side for two smaller biscuits but they tasted really good. I paid $15 for the biscuit & gravy platter with shredded hash browns, a side English muffin and an orange juice. Service was super friendly, appeared that the wife ran the front of the house while the husband ran the kitchen. She was super friendly.

A cozy southern breakfast and lunch place in downtown Suffolk, specializing in dishes with linguiça, a Portuguese sausage: hamburgers, eggs, and served hot dog style. They also serve excellent coffee, which our excellent server made sure didn't run out!Owned by a proud veteran...

The food is good. The biscuits and gravy was fantastic. I'm a big fan of pancakes, but this one did not satisfy at all - it was thick and heavy, I prefer light and fluffy. Others in my party liked it. Everything else was really good. Loved the laid back, small town, "when you're here, you're family" atmosphere. That took us from 4 to 5 stars.

Amazing food with large portions. Really is under priced for the quality in the amount you're getting. Service was outstanding. The atmosphere is just so nice. The other patrons definitely old-timer locals that are known nonsense group who enjoy good things comfort stuff in their lives. We definitely found a gem. This will be our go to stop for breakfast in the mornings.

I was in Suffolk visiting my sister and we had lunch here Saturday. Fantastic place!! I highly recommend!!!This is a small mom and pop restaurant on Main Street in Suffolk. It's decorated with a variety of quaint fun photos and concert tickets. We were greeted when we came in and asked about drinks. We both ordered coffee and I had water with lemon. The coffee was fresh, hot and they refilled your cup often. I couldn't ask for better. My sister had the cheesesteak sub and left nothing on her plate . She loved it!I had the chicken omelette and asked them to add jalapeños. Delicious! They asked me if I wanted onions in my hash browns and I said "yes". Very good. The toast is done on the grill and not in a toaster. Another good touch!Service was very very good. I'll be back when I'm in Suffolk!

I fell in love with this diner.There is a familial feel to this restaurant.The food was great.... I tried some Monster burger that was completely out side of my comfort zone, I crushed it!!!!! There is some sort of sausage with a weird name... cheese blankets..... hamburger seasoned to perfection..... rolls that are soft and chewy but strong enough to hold and sweet enough to enhance..... and IT DID NOT BREAK THE BUDGET!!!!!!And if that was not enough, after eating an amazing meal.... The chef came out and we sang together while he played the acoustic guitar..... we sang Tennessee Whiskey..... the service is amazing to match the food!!!!!Love this family type atmosphere.

Went in hoping for a good meal, but the food was bland--no flavor at all. On top of that, I didn't appreciate the political sign right in front of the restaurant. Definitely won't be back.

Great food with like minded folks!! Thank you for making us feel welcome and for the friendly advice!!!
