I enjoyed the smash burger with American cheese for lunch. They offer other cheese options for your burger and include potato chips as a side with it. The service was prompt and friendly.

What a lovely little place! The staff are so sweet and kind and the food was great. It's right outside of Pisgah Forest so close to all the great hiking and waterfalls - easy breakfast or lunch to fuel your adventures. We will definitely be coming back!

Pescado’s and Sunrise is hands down one of our favorite places to eat in Brevard. My 8-year-old absolutely loves it—he would eat their food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could! He insists they have the best pancakes in the entire world and asks to go there every weekend even though we live in Miami. They have something for everybody and the service is consistently great, and they’re always open when we need them. It’s become a family go-to spot in Brevard. Highly recommend! P.s. my son begged me to leave a 5-star review because he said “this place is not allowed to go out of business.”

Pescados Sunrise is a community staple! When I saw the old location empty, my life flashed before my eyes. Thankfully I got my hands on my absolute favorite: the fish burrito. Gotta get the pineapple salsa on it, too! The menu had some updates which will be fun to explore going forward. Cozy atmosphere inside with a fire place. Looking forward to this new chapter

We stopped in and had two awesome tacos, both the fish and shrimp were delicious. Zander was a great waiter and even gave us a small sample of the Berry Smoothie…which we will be returning for!

Our server was honestly good at her job but her tone was really annoying can’t lie. Food was amazing, ambience might have been even better. Really cool log cabin feeling. Would definitely recommend
