Sunrise stands in the heart of “new Florida”—multicultural, lively, and always craving something a little festive.
From Caribbean heat to inventive American comfort, this town’s best restaurants reflect both the bold flavors and the laid-back warmth that South Florida families love.
1. Chef Dee’s Caribbean & American Restaurant
No place in Sunrise channels the city’s true spirit like Chef Dee’s—a joyful, bustling hub for soulful Caribbean food and neighborly hospitality.
Plates groan with oxtail cooked until meltingly tender, smoky jerk chicken with fiery Scotch bonnet glaze, flaky saltfish fritters, and mountain-high mounds of spicy rice and peas.
Sunday brunch is a community event, complete with reggae classics and bottomless mimosas.
2. Bonefish Grill
More than a chain, the Bonefish in Sunrise has become a community gathering spot for birthdays, graduations, and big Friday nights out.
The hush of air-conditioning meets the excitement of sizzling Bang Bang Shrimp, wood-grilled Chilean sea bass, seasonal specials like crab-topped cod, and fresh fruit cocktails.
Servers are polished, wine and cocktail lists are thoughtful, and the bar buzzes with laughter nearly every night.
3. Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza
This is where Sunrise comes for pizza parties with actual fire. The blackened crusts—topped with everything from sweet fennel sausage to roasted cauliflower and ricotta—are baked in 800-degree coal ovens for a uniquely Floridian-Italian flavor.
Share platters of coal-fired wings, giant meatballs in marinara, garlic knots, and cheesy eggplant parm.
The walls are lined with old-school sports photos and happy hour is a high-energy, all-ages affair.
4. Pho Brandon Vietnamese Cuisine
Nestled in an unassuming plaza, Pho Brandon serves up Sunrise’s most fragrant, comforting bowls of pho: slow-simmered beef broth, slurp-worthy rice noodles, herbs, sprouts, and fiery jalapeño.
The banh mi are crunchy and overflowing, the summer rolls burst with mint and shrimp, and regulars rave about the crispy fried chicken with chili sauce.
Service is gentle and kind, perfect for a quiet dinner or quick lunch that feels like an edible exhale.
5. Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill
With wall-to-wall TVs, loaded nachos, candied bacon burgers, spicy wings, and the energy of a homegrown sports cathedral, Bokamper’s is Sunrise’s party palace.
Whether it’s Dolphins Sunday or the Final Four, locals gravitate here for icy beers and big laughs.
The outdoor patio draws in the twilight, and everyone is a sports fan for at least one round.
