The only reason it received 2 stars was thst the waitress was amazing. Hash browns were burnt on the outside and uncooked in the middle. Rest of the food was passable.

Tough to overlook the cobwebs, soiled tiles and peeling wall paint. The best part of this place is the wait staff!

I took my grandson there for breakfast this morning. The food was absolutely disgusting. So bad neither one of us ate the food. All of the vents in that place are black and are in need of cleaning. The general manager has no business being one. Whoever owns this Perkins should be embarrassed.

I hadn't been here in ages. Memorial Day weekend with pouring rain and every restaurant was packed and we drive here and only a few cars in the parking lot. The service was great. The waitress was very helpful with my 8 yr old granddaughter. Providing options with smaller portions. Reasonably priced.

The state of Perkins as of October 2023 is just ABYSMAL. Every aspect of the customer experience at this restaurant location is substandard. The place is in physical disrepair, from the parking lot to the booths with broken springs and ripped seats, to the run down decor.

Last time I visited, the dining room smelled like a garbage hadn't been changed. The place wasn't busy, yet nobody greeted my brother & I for several minutes. We ordered an App sampler, and a bagel yet 2 whole tables of at least 4 people who came after us, received full breakfast orders of food before we got our small order. I know because they tried to bring that food to us at first before realizing we were the wrong table.

I suspect they missed our order completely and only after bringing us the other people's food did they start making ours. No apologies, no interaction. No reassurance that our food was coming. When we did get our orders, the food was cold, hard, and just really poor quality.

It was like being charged $35 to get abused. The staff acted like they were caught by surprise that customers existed. This place is specifically designed to cook, serve, & sell food for a large group of various humans. If they can't handle their entire purpose on any level, then the writing's on the wall. Avoid at all costs.

We eat here often, but I'm not sure how else to get a message to the owner. The sewage smell in the ladies room, is overpowering and putrid to the max. It permeates most of the restaurant, and forget about actually using the ladies room.

Over the years I have eaten there with friends and family several times. Almost everytime except once it was good and in my opinion no matter where you go there's bound to be an off day, but overall this establishmentis is consistently good. The food and prices are good. I like to go there often to buy their whole pies, cakes and other baked good when we're having a big family dinner at home. I definitely recommend. However... in my opinion they need to address the parking lot because it's in need of some paving which seems to be common in this town, but as far as the food and the establishment goes I say try it out.

I enjoy eating at the Perkins in Cortland NY. the food is consistently good, and the atmosphere id friendly. I especially like to go on Tuesdays when Wendy is the server. She is outstanding. Today, May 6, 2025 - Wendy was the only server. when I arrived around 11 am. There was private party in the back oom ( I think that I heard there were 26 people) & the main dining area kept filing up. How Wendy managed to take care of all of us, bring our food to the table while it was hot - is beyond me. I sincerely hope the management at the Cortland Perkins rewards Wendy & appreciates the excellent staff member that she is.
