Went for an early dinner today and ordered the hibachi shrimp skillet. I thought it was very good although it’s not a lot of food. I’ll definitely be hungry later. My server was super nice so it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant needs an overhaul inside but I’d take an older establishment with great food and service over a new place with opposite experience. I’d definitely order that skillet again if back in town and get something extra also. I did eat a shrimp before taking this picture.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and had the most amazing service from Wendy. She was so pleasant and friendly. Our party consisted of 10 people and we all received top notch hospitality. Wendy is a professional. Ask for her if you ever visit Perkins in Cortland. PS. The food was delicious as well 😊

We got breakfast here on our way out of town, my partner’s choice (though I was happy enough to oblige). Seated quickly, food was prompt, and server was wonderful throughout our meal: friendly, kind, helpful, professional. The whole meal looked and tasted just as expected, which is to say, basically the ideal traditional American breakfast (thanks in part to mass production factories). I typically prefer smaller, independently owned businesses with more locally sourced ingredients, high ethical & environmental standards for sourcing, processing, etc. (I know, I know… I can already see the eye rolls I’m getting...) But I grew up on chains like Perkins and still appreciate, and enjoy, standout individual locations and the employees that hold them up as such. This one felt like one of those to me. Apparently we came on their weekly free-slice-of-pie day: when my partner ordered a slice, our server let us know about the deal and asked if I’d like a slice, too. We took slices both to go but can now happily report the pie and pumpkin cheesecake slices were delightful! Highlights: Wonderful service. Prices are phenomenal. Bottomless coffee in a slim, tall carafe for 2.99 or 3.99. Free pie!
