Wow! Just go there, and experience it yourself. It was gigantic and It looks like art in my eyes. It was delicious, and I was too full to finish it. And showing a nice welcoming face improves the experience for everyone. P.s. I didnt even have to put syrup on mine

Perry's has been our favorite restaurant for years! The food is always great and the employees are awesome! I was shocked last weekend to see that they will be closing after May 31 due to the owners retiring. My family and I are so disappointed. Such a shame that someone else could not take over running the business.

Great little hole in the wall breakfast place. Seated right away. I got the breakfast burrito and one blueberry pancake. Food quality was great. Came out really fast and the portions are generous. I had to take half of it home. Highly recommend this no thrills place!!

Okay for breakfast but lunches... just salt and grease. Bathrooms disgusting. Pee on floors and soaking into the grout. Never remodeled in all these years. Good they're closing down.

Folks rarely would I say a place is ten stars .I do now. I just had breakfast there( Bacon,Eggs,Homefries) It was delicious. The menu has many items and something tasty for everyone. The service was outstanding that you rarely see..Coffee filled,water filled,just all out top of the line classy service. Fair priced for what is served to you in large portions..Around $15 plus gratutity Folks now retired I will be going here atleast a few days a week and encourage you and your family to try his place.. I think you will be going there often after eating here

Service was pretty good, food was Ok. Cajun sausage was tough and chewy, eggs were over easy but undercooked and runny. A good seniors place if you want bland food. They have a sign that says takeout but turned a man away saying they were not doing takeout now.

The food was good, great portions but the ambiance is very old, not just old fashion but smelled strange. Our waitress was excellent, she had great customer skills.

Think of those grimy breakfast diner scenes from various dramas and action movies and you have big parallels with Perry's Cafe. A classic East County breakfast joint complete with no mask mandate enforcement and servers that puff on cigarettes on their breaks. Food is consistent and as expected.

Amazing, going there since I was a kid the hot chocolate had a special place in my heart. I highly suggest the pancakes and hash browns double crispy ? mm mm good

Home cooking is so good. I like the friendly people and the nice staff. Your coffee cup is always full , great service. Open until 2:00 Pm . Good for breakfast and lunch. Go there and try it. I think you will like it.
