Perry's Family Restaurant - Eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

Went there for lunch today on 10-25-25. The food was so so. I always get the grilled pork chops cause they're my favorite dinner. ButI really feel the quality has gone downhill. I'm wondering if they sold to new management. Because the salad bar is nowhere near the quality it used to be. And the pork chops are nowhere near the quality that they used to be. Also, they've gotten thinner and way more fat fatty. Here's a picture of my lunch this afternoon. Service was OK. She came and refilled our drinks and checked in a few times but I really feel they need to step up their game if it's under new management the prior owner really had this place running and it was usually busy breakfast lunch, and dinner all the time. read more

Food and service are great. We went here many many years ago but the food started getting horrible and they had very loud waitresses. Started back about 3 months ago and we just love all their menu. read more

Stopped in for brunch- typical hometown diner. As you can see from the photos, they give Large portions!!!!! The restaurant was filled with lots of senior citizens- I think that is their main clientele. The salad bar looked clean and well stocked- we can't comment on the taste because we did not try it. The service was fine. Not very friendly, but not unfriendly. Even though the portions were large, the prices are good. So if you're ever in the area and you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot, this place has pretty good food. I don't know about their dinners, so you'll have to find that out on your own! read more

Perry's Family Restaurant - Look at how full these plates are! - American Near Me - Painesville, Ohio

See all

This is a quaint diner in Perry in the same Plaza with IGA. I had breakfast here one Saturday morning and was surprised by the friendly service and the kind waitress who served us. The food came out quick and my eggs were cooked perfectly. I usually order fried eggs cooked over medium and toast. I would recommend this diner for breakfast. read more

We used to eat here fairly often for breakfast with the kiddos pre-pandemic - however since Covid started we cannot justify it. This restaurant is old and dated with no one at to distance from people and that's if the parking lot wasn't packed (I get it Perry has like no businesses let alone food options) but good breakfast and strong coffee are not worth it to me. After all the craziness has died down sure I will head in for the cinnamon roll French toast or my hubby for their steak and eggs. The lunches were EH and I'm betting for health reasons/Covid the massive salad bar hasn't been in use but idk. Dinner the only thing we've ever ordered that was good was the pot roast everything else was not cravable sometimes in a pinch you just need a fast meal. Third star was because the staff is always nice especially to our kiddos and in the end kindness is what matters. read more

Nice place to grab breakfast. They have a large dining room area with plenty of booths and tables. In addition to their large menu, they offer breakfast through lunch hour. Enjoyed eggs, potatoes, and toast. Eggs were cooked perfectly with nice home fries and fresh toast. They keep your coffee full and check on you often. Very friendly waitresses. Can't wait to come back for soup and salad bar. read more

This place is hit or miss! Sometimes I come in and get a great waitress, who is smiling and very friendly, other times I get the head waitress who is boning the owner, and she always has an attitude, is never smiling, and is very short with customers. I stopped coming here because of her and her attitude. Well, and the tables are always sticky and i always dirty when I leave. Bad vibes and so so foods. Maybe try a better place with better service, food, and a smile! read more

My son and I stopped in to Perry's family restaurant on a Sunday about 1. The restaurant at that time was approximately 50% full and we were seated right away. I ordered a coffee and my son got a water. My first order of business is always coffee in the coffee should always be full and there should always be somebody walking around with a pot offering the top somebody off. Not only was this cup about 5 ounces but also it took me forever to flight somebody down to get me another cup of coffee. not that I should have drank a second cup of coffee because it actually tasted really pretty burnt and not something I probably should have had a second cup of. our table had the street of creamer and sugar or actually I prefer the International Delight vanilla things. I did stop at two cups of coffee and decided to wait till home when I could actually make a decent cup of joe. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette with some home fries which were the shredded kind in they were actually a little burned and I am a big fan of home fries but this just simply did not do it for me. The Omelette was mediocre and it serve the purpose but I don't think I would go out of my way to find this place again. The good part of the review is my son did have a pancake which seem to be a little bigger than his head and he really liked the bacon he said it was extra crunchy. From a price point perspective it was priced a little higher than my normal stomping grounds and I think they probably could up the portion just a little bit to meet what the food was costing. Overall two-and-a-half to three stars read more

I would rate my breakfast here as average. Omelets (I ordered the Western), when cooked properly, should not have any brown on them and the kitchen was skimpy with the ingredients. Hashbrowns were cold. Rye toast was heavily buttered if you like that. The ham was sliced very thin like lunch meat not diced and there was very little of it. The service was good though. And the people eating their frosted cinnamon roll behind me seemed to be really enjoying it, I could feel every move they made through our shared back booth bench. A group of old men was loudly discussing politics and the travails of civilization near me, so that's the octogenarian crowd you can expect. And the Steelers helmet on the wall also made me question the intelligence of the management, but overall not terrible, just not for me. read more

Nice small town restaurant. Love the salad bar. Can use some updates for sure but it's an older restaurant so that's expected. They are always so nice and polite and very helpful. The kids like coming here. Look forward to coming back again. read more

A cute, little family diner out in the middle of nowhere. Not horrible, not great--just lots of senior citizens partaking in Friday night AYCE fish fries, etc. Their breakfast is also tolerable. They do have a soup and salad bar (gasp!), which I usually avoid, but nothing else was remotely healthy on the menu. Alas, I was sort of impressed by their freshly cut veggies, especially the cucumbers and carrots. You could tell none of it was from a bag. On the lettuce-front, they suffered, but at least the offered chopped romaine. And all the other toppings were pretty standard for a family restaurant. I also gave the chicken noodle soup a whirl and it was pretty salty, but still had a good flavor. It was also pipping hot! The boys got the ACYE perch fry and the kids size mac 'n cheese, which was a huge portion! I heard the fish was just 'OK' and was most likely frozen. Meh... the fries looked frozen too. I wouldn't say this place is horrible, especially since it's always pretty packed. But I will say that better the frozen foods, the carpet and the clientele, this place would make Gordon Ramsey flip his lid. "Look at it! It's frozen!" read more

If you like lukewarm coffee, took till the 2nd refill before hot and my wife's eggs were over cooked

The food and service was great. Breakfast is served all day. Portions are large but not overwhelming. Very good

Went there for a quick dinner after funeral service for my mother. My father lives in area and recommended it. Waitress was great food had good portions and the price was right. Its important to keep local small business going during these uncertain times and this place gets it right read more

Not a good experience. Coming home from Montville and needed to feed the family. Restaurant was pretty empty. Not a good sign on Saturday before Mother's Day. Got seated quickly and placed our order. Sweetened ice tea had gone over. order took about 1/2 hour for 5 dinners. I ordered the chopped sirloin, medium rare with mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes and corn. Meat came out well done, potatoes were soupy, very few mushrooms and onions and the corn was obviously left over canned corn. Came with a trip to the soup and salad bar. The Italian wedding soup was all pasta and no broth or meat. Salad was okay but no bacon or seeds and their version of French dressing was horrible. Had to ask for refills on drinks which was a mistake considering the quality of the tea. To top things off they don't accept AMEX so good thing I had a debit card or I'd have been wash dishes. Even my SO said that we didn't need to go back. Truly a shame as this was once a go to destination. So sad. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a recommendation from family. Good was average, nothing to write home about, but the service was less than cordial. No one seemed happy to be there and customer service must not be there specialty. If it was, the morning I visited must have been a bad day. read more

Great value with superior service. Family friendly atmosphere. My family and I stopped at this restaurant from out of town and we were very impressed. The prices and service were superb and the location was clean and well kept. For $10 I got Jumbo Shrimp, fries, a cinnamon roll and the salad bar! The staff were humorous and friendly but not at all bothersome. If I didn't live so far away from this place it would be a regular eatery for my family. read more

Had a really good family grilled steak, corn, and green beans. All of it was very tasty and well prepared. The salad bar has numerous selections, and was very clean. Our server Marlene was sweet, funny, and a hustler, great job! read more

First time here for breakfast, Just moved to Perry. Perry does not offer a lot of 'chain' restaurants (which is great) thought we would give a local one a try. Restaurant is a little dated. Prices are pretty good (7-12) for breakfast Food was very good. Ill be here again for sure read more

Great mom and pop restaurant. Fast service and good food. Salad bar, sandwich and drink for $8.99. Can't beat it.

We had a group of about 18 so we put some stress on the service but all in all things went pretty well. The food was OK, about what you'd expect from a small diner. We had everything from meat loaf to spaghetti to pancakes and of course the soup and salad bar. I'd go again if I'm in the area. read more

Rudest server I've ever had in life (made the meal extremely uncomfortable), and terrible cold food. I will not be returning

I worked here 3 times. They first time for over a year and I left. I acme back and then I was let go for school reasons, then I was called back last August. I was happy to come back. I'm the server with the braces on her knees. I want to let you know I was just let go. Yes. 4 day before Christmas! I admit I was leaving and I turned in a 2 week notice. That was last Saturday 12/17. Tony let me go. What kind of owner let's a server go 4 days before Christmas? And I was scheduled to work Christmas eve. I was depending on my tips for extra gifts. read more

I will never eat here again after I ordered a club sandwich... It needed some more mayo they put so little on and when I got more mayo and put it on, I took a bite they mayo had gone rancid it was disgusting... Now for me I would of taken off a star or two for that because my other meals there have been decent but... What brings me to this one star is what I heard the waitress tell the hostess moments after taking my plate away she said something to the tune of "I told him that fridge was on the fritz again now I've served bad mayo again" again that was the word that caught me AGAIN you knew the mayo you served me had a chance to be off and yet instead of tasting it or smelling it you handed it to me nope no nope not at all ever AGAIN I am sorry but I will never eat here again! read more

I will never go back! The food was bad and overpriced, for lunch I spent $28.00 on 2 kids meals and a sandwich plus beverages. What really got me was my niece got soup and salad with her meal, she doesn't like salad so she didn't get that just soup. She took a couple bites of soup and didn't like that either so she gave it to my 4 year old the waitress charged me full price for another bowl because my baby ate two bites. read more

We stopped in for breakfast Saturday morning. Not very busy. Heard waitstaff talk about how short handed they were. Decent breakfast food. Order took a while but everything was accurate. Shouldn't be using beverage glasses as ice scoops then dispensing into them. Also don't bus tables, take money then make and handle toast. Bacon and eggs hard to mess up. read more

If you're going to offer a military discount, honor it!! How can you pick and choose which meals do and don't get a discount? It's a family restaurant! We couldn't get a military discount because our kids had kids meals and my father had there special. You all honored it the first time we came and the second time it wasn't. read more

Been here one time and really liked it. Salad bar has a great variety and so does the menu!! Definitely will be back!

Well, I've avoided coming here for some time because of the reviews. I stopped in with my girlfriend for breakfast on a whim and we were quite surprised. Service was fast and friendly, they kept our drinks full the entire time. I got eggs, bacon, wheat toast and homefries. My girlfriend got the breakfast bunch which included pancakes, eggs and sausage. We both enjoyed our food. Portions were generous, food was fresh and hot. Prices are good, restaurant was clean. We will be back here. read more

I have been here and had breakfast a couple times with my boyfriend. restaurant was busy, but we were seated right away both times. portions were generous and the food was good. on one visit I had pancakes, eggs and sausage. I could not finish everything. the other time I got a breakfast sandwich that was new to their menu sausagege and eggs on a roll. it was really good. the prices are reasonable, service was good and the food was good. we are already talking about going back again, but maybe at lunch time so we can try some other items. read more

This place really needs a makeover. Booth seats are all ripped up. Waitresses were kind of rude. Heard them discussing who was going to serve us. When waitress did come over, didn't greet us just asked us for our order. Wouldn't accept our entertainment coupon. They had it posted on their counter that they wouldn't accept online entertainment coupons but nothing about paper coupons. Food was decent. Experience not so good. read more

Food and atmosphere befitting of price ranges. Kid got sprinkle pancakes, he was in heaven. This is basically an entire birthday cake for breakfast read more

Dropped in here when my wife was taking her driving tests at the exam center next door. We had breakfast and it was only "OK". We were there twice in the space of 2 weeks and each time the food came out less than hot, which I find unforgiveable when the place is busy! Don't leave it on the window so long might be a tip? My wife sent hers back as it was "cold"; but as I was hungry I tolerated mine. Typical dated décor and the restroom is quite small also, with only room for 1 person. ample parking outside, good servers with friendly attitudes, and reasonable value for money. haven't tried anything but breakfast fare; but will not be going again anytime soon. read more

Pretty good. Perfectly named, and just what I expected. I was a passin' through town and I had a hankering for a patty melt, and what should appear, but the Perry Family Restaurant. It's kind of hidden in the IGA plaza next to the BMV, so I was glad I saw the sign. I had a reasonably good patty melt with crispy fries. The service was perfunctory and adequate, but not really personable. There was a big salad bar, and an extensive menu with all you might expect at a family restaurant. Folks next to me were enjoying stuffed peppers & baked taters. Consistent with the family restaurant persona, there were booths or tables, chair rail blonde paneling, old pictures on the wall, and an all around local vibe to the place. It's nothing super special, but truly a nice place to stop for lunch. I'd much rather a spot like this than some chain or fast food spot. Glad I tried it. I'll be back to sample other menu items, and maybe a piece of pie. read more

Came here a couple times and only once was our food good. The service was horrible and the waitresses were rude and you could hear them complaining. The waitress messed up my boyfriends burger three times until she got it right. read more

The salad bar was fresh and full. My dinner was excellent. I could not finish it! Jane our server was excellent! Very nice dinner out!!!

just, got done eating at this diner. salad bar was decent. my Burger was good. friendly people, not too crowded for a Saturday night.

Attempted to have a nice breakfastthe Perry Family Restaurant in Perry, Ohio. Well it was a good idea in theory, instead we went there waited approx 20 minutes to have our order taken, and over an hour and a half later, still didn't have any food. Not once did our waitress come back to check on us in that time, and about an hour into the wait after ordering, Chuck asked the manager / owner to check our order and was told 2 minutes. A half hour later, we finally gave up and left. Got there at 10:15 and left at 11:30, went for breakfast, and had to leave and go somewhere else to have lunch instead. read more
