    Farmer's omelette and side of delicious pancakes
    Laura R.

    Great little local diner with some serious food. We stopped in on our way through Perry, very easy to find, and enough parking. No stairs to get in but there is a tiny step up. There are mostly booths with just a few counter seats and a couple high top tables. Bathrooms are M/F but one at a time. The ladies room door didn't lock well, but I wasn't in there long anyway lol. You'd better be hungry if you order the Hungry man for breakfast. Hubby could not finish it! He drinks tea and they only had Earl Grey, so that was disappointing for him to not have some plain black tea. The coffee was great but I did have to request a refill, and it wasn't busy. My 3-egg omelette was huge and full of stuff (I appreciate the onions were grilled first) and I chose not to finish it so I could try some of their own recipe pancakes. The pancakes were so delicious - light fluffy and served with real butter. I couldn't finish those either! I should have asked for real maple syrup (not sure if that's an option) as they gave us a large container of "mystery syrup," which was ok, but these pancakes deserve real syrup! Kiersten, our server, was excellent and can carry many many things at a time. We would stop back again when in the area!

    Garbage plate
    Shannon S.

    Had to get the garbage plate! Was delicious. Place is small and nothing fancy but gets the jobs done. Waiter was super nice and accommodating. Only mild complaint was the creamer I poured in my coffee had congealed / seemed spoiled but not a huge deterrent. Overall a great place to stop if you're in the area!

    As I left to drive to NYC I came to this establishment. Good for breakfast. I ordered their #1 Traditional Bkft with Sausage. Filling & satisfying with a cup of Joe. Service was prompt and friendly

    John & Sarah's crunchy chicken club wrap
    Kacey D.

    While visiting a friend out in Perry, we decided to pick up some lunch from John & Sarah's restaurant. I ordered their crunchy chicken club wrap with a side of salad and italian dressing. Our pickup time was fairly quick and the food came carefully packaged, which I appreciated. I was surprised to see that the wrap had a tomato tortilla shell, but it was surprisingly good! The chicken inside was still crispy and delicious after the drive and the wrap paired well with my side salad. I would definitely give this menu option a try!

    We wanted to - as usual - help a local small business. We tried to like this small place but it wasn't easy. I opted for a fried fish fry which is pan-fried. It was NOT served pan-fried at all. I suspect it was put on the grill, covered with a pan lid and steamed. There were NO fry browning on the fish at all. I were eating soup, and the fish was delivered as we were STILL eating, so the fish got cold. Cold "cooked" fish is not tasty at all. My first time ever served and ate a cold fish, which was not tasty. By time we got to bed, my stomach was tossing and turning, not me but my stomach.

    Corned beef dinner
    Lori G.

    I decided to give this place another chance. Had corned beef and cabbage dinner for St Patrick's day & it was very good. Sliced a bit too thick for corned beef though. The cashier was friendly . The take out was correct nothing missing :)

    In a small town without many options, this was a nice surprise! Good, hearty food and great service. We'll be back when we come to WNY.

We came here to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday, and I ordered the seafood-stuffed prime rib. It was, without question, one of the worst restaurant meals I've ever been served. The prime rib was mostly fat, it was cold, the seafood stuffing had virtually no flavor, and the entire dish was inedible. I took a few bites, but simply couldn't eat it, so I politely sent it back. Our waitress, Haylee, was wonderful. She was kind, professional, and genuinely apologetic. None of this reflects on her service. She handled an awkward situation with grace, and I hope management recognizes what a great employee they have. Unfortunately, everything went downhill after that. The manager, Jackie, came to the table and seemed more confused that I didn't like the meal than concerned that it had been served in that condition. Since I wasn't looking for a free dinner, I told them I was perfectly willing to pay for the salad bar, which we had been told at the beginning of the meal was $17.99 if you didn't order an entrée. When the bill arrived, I had been charged $22.99. When I asked Haylee why, she explained that the manager had charged me for the salad bar and then added extra to help cover the cost of the entrée I had sent back. That is completely unacceptable. I asked to speak with the manager, but she never returned. Instead, Haylee came back and said there had been a "miscommunication" and that the salad bar had actually gone up to $22.99. Given what we had been told earlier, that explanation was simply not believable. I had no problem paying for the salad bar. I did have a problem being charged extra for a meal that was inedible and then feeling like I was being given an excuse instead of an honest explanation. A restaurant can recover from a bad meal with good customer service. What it can't recover from is making a customer feel like they're being misled. Haylee earned five stars. Unfortunately, the food and the way management handled the situation turned what should have been a special birthday dinner into a very disappointing experience

Candlelit tables and dim sconces on the walls provided a warm, inviting vibe. Surprisingly, the server who greeted us knew us by name and warmly welcomed us to the National Hotel. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The meal was coursed out perfectly and we enjoyed every bite. Stuffed mushrooms to start were piping hot and flavorful in a ramekin of butter. The hottest thing in Cuylerville was the freshly baked bread-in-a-bag! Perfect to get every morsel of mushroom soup out of our bowls. Usually you have to choose between soup OR salad, not here! We got a fresh greens garden salad following the soup! Our main entrées of steak were perfectly cooked to temp and tasted great with the red wine. The mashed potatoes were fluffy, flavorful and satisfying. Peanut butter and chocolate pie brought our experience to a close. To wrap up the evening, we got to thank the chef and her husband for an amazing dining experience. This is one of a kind gem and we look forward to our next visit. Bring a loved one, go for a special date night or just stop in to treat yourself. You will not be disappointed.

If the person isn't finished with the drink and the glass isn't empty just bring a new drink. Service 101. Maybe they could google it.
