Being elderly we selected from the menu the 1/2 sandwich, bowl of soup along with dessert which was a piece of pie. The food was a pretty good serving size and the pie slices were delicious ! It’s a much nicer place to eat than an ordinary fast food place being its right off of Highway 81 in Cortland, New York. I thought it smelt a little musty when we first walked into the back room, so they should address this as to maybe newer carpet or a brighter paint job. Overall good fast service, friendly waitresses and clean.

This is a nice place for a hearty breakfast. Food is plenty and delicious. The waitress was so gentle and attentive. The place is always busy, but the food comes without long delays.

We were traveling through the area and knew this Perkins was in Cortland. My husband and I stopped for breakfast. We waited over 5 minutes for anyone to acknowledge we walked in the door. Then we were told that it would be a few minutes before we could be seated as there was no tables available. Although there was 3 seats in the first area visibly ready for new customers, we decided to wait. We waited another 10 minutes, with others coming in the door, and also not being acknowledged. In the meantime, 4 other tables of guests were done and left. We decided to leave as well. If this is the initial service when we walk in the door, we were not interested in eating there and having the same delays. It is unfortunate as it was a place recommended to us.

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.

Food was okay but there was an odor of sewage throughout the restaurant. It would waft in and out, we almost left but we soldiered through. The staff seemed to just ignore it. There was never any acknowledgement or explanation. Also looked like a roof leak and a “temporary” pole to support the roof, at least they put a bow on it for Christmas (see photo). After the meal, I went to use the men’s room and barely had the door open when I was overcome by a strong wave of sewage odor. I immediately turned around and waited the 45 minute drive home. Perkins is far from what it used to be years ago. Very disappointing, will not be back here.

A very decent restaurant and bakery place in town. What I liked most about this place is their sitting arrangements has some good views of the peaks from the windows. They also have some good collection of pies. My kids love the muffins from here. Our favourite is all the skillets items on the menu. The servers here are good. It is located in a very peaceful corner of the town. Very good place for comfort food with family. Their menu offers a lot. And the pies and muffins are always a hit.

Walking in this place is empty with a fee tables or packed to the gills! Luckily we got a slower day & polite waitress! Silverware is to be checked for cleanliness each time. The food and the atmosphere superceded everything but the amazing dessert case! Always impressed!
