Wishing You All A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

I guess we are all glad to see the last of 2011. Whew, it really was a tough one, but being Americans, we did manage to make it through. Now we are all ready for a big change in our economy. And just to get things off to a good start, come to either our San Bernardino or Fontana Sundowners Family Restaurants on New Year's Day and get a SPECIAL FREE DESSERT with every entree ordered.

A word about the economy and Sundowners Family Restaurants. We don't usually like to blow our own horn, but it has been our mission for the last 30 years to serve our customers good food at the lowest possible prices. We have worked harder than ever before to keep our costs down this last year, and let us just say, it has not been easy! In the face of the rising costs of food, gasoline, and everything else it takes to keep our restaurants running it took plenty of hard work and sharp negotiating skills with our suppliers to keep the quality up and the costs down! Plus we have our Sunbowl Drawings twice a week at both the Fontana Restaurant and the San Bernardino Restaurant. We still give away Special FREE Desserts several times throughout the year. And we still have our Anniversary One Cent Sale the Saturday after Thanksgiving! So we really feel that we deserve the title, Home of Recession Proof Pricing. But in truth, it is you, our loyal customers, who make it all worthwhile. We know that many of you have been coming to dine with us for over 30 years now. And those of you who have moved away always come back to see us when you are in the area. We just want to say, THANK YOU! It is all of you who make it work.

WE ARE GLOBAL! We've had our web site up over two years now, Coca-Cola is featuring us on their website ( Cokesolutions.com. Click on “Build Your Business” in the menu bar at the top. Drop down to “Customer Spotlight” and click.), and you can still see us on San Bernardino Sun's web site. check it our at: www.sbsun.com. We are going to be expanding our worldwide presence in 2012. Keep you eyes open. And thank you all for visiting our web site - let us know what you think about it!

And be sure to let us know what you think… about our food, our service, and your experience at our restaurants! We think of you as family, and we care what you think. So fill in your comment cards.
