    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 :)

    Well well well did we ever luck out today (SATURDAY)…read more You know that the food is good when you get that happy food dance. Let me tell you... I was happy food dancing the whole way through my Beef on a Weck. Let me back up a minute and take yall start to finish, we walked in and there was a clear "please seat yourself" sign by the checkout. The place feels small town and adorable. The wooden booths aren't here for your comfort, but the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server greeted us with a smile and was super helpful. She was friendly and talked us through the menu. I settled on the must have Beef on a Weck (no sides) while my partner had the Fire grilled Roast Beef and Swiss with sweet potato fries. I didn't even know what a Weck was until we stopped by today. When the plate was placed infront of me I knew I would loveee what was to come next. Beef on a Weck... it is served open faced because the meat is the clear feature here... but when I flipped it over I knew what to do.... eat this beast upside down (meaning seasonings touch the tongue when you take a bite). Trust this foodie... this hack takes that sandwich to the next level!!!! The horseradish provided was very good and had a nice bite, and I like Horseradish, but the seasonings (sea salt and cardamom seeds) on that bun are what I really found myself seeking every bite. Man that was delicious. Now not to be out done, the Fire Grilled Rst Beef and Swiss was also a head turner too! The warm roast beef and melty Swiss cheese did not disappoint. The sandwich bread was toasted to perfection, and it was also delicious! The side of sweet potato fries just took the whole dish to the next level! While our stomachs did not allow room for dessert (likely due to the amount of meat each sandwich contained) I was almost tempted to try the caramel cheesecake. Prices were also extremely reasonable especially considering the quality! All in all this was a fabulous stop and we would go out of our way to come again on a Saturday when the Roast Beef is fresh!

    Although this is a small restaurant with limited seating, I actually think that's what makes it the…read moreplace to consider. We had excellent meals. The service was hometown, friendly feel. Easy to find; right on the main road. Plenty of Parking was in the back of the building. My husband got wings and they were better than any of the wings that we got in Buffalo! I got the special of the day: salad with pecans and fruit. I added grilled chicken. Everything was fresh and tasty, plus, they didn't skimp on the fruit and pecans!!

For…read moreexample, If I am a food snob who eats at Michelin 5-star restaurants across the world, everything else would be 0s. So, to put the Country Kitchen up against the restaurants I usually review in Rochester, Buffalo and along my travels, I'd probably likewise rate it pretty low. So with that being said, I am going to approach this in one of the following 3 contexts: 1.) I'm local to the area and my options around me around limited. 2.) I either spent the day or am about to enter Letchworth State Park or Silver Lake and need a hearty meal or 3.) I chose to venture out of a Day trip from the city. I cannot say I know what the competition is like. I know of a few good restaurants in Mount Morris, Avon, Geneseo, etc. I'll just say that we were in town for the Chalk Art festival and in hindsight, we should've gone with the Poutine food truck. Let's get to the experience... 5 of us went inside to dine, leaving the festival scene outside. The place is a large family style restaurant that is showing its age. It can definitely use a modern makeover. The dingy drop ceilings held up by gold framing would've been a wow factor... in 1985. The specials were on two white boards hanging on the far wall in small handwriting. Especially awkward was that they were hanging directly over occupied tables! So I walked up to the table, excused myself and said "Sorry, I'm reading the specials on the board above you." They looked understandably annoyed. The main menu is typical diner food, but something about how it looked like it was printed on Print Shop Pro, also from 1985, made it really hard on the eyes to figure it all out. We ordered an appetizer sampler platter and taco logs, both of which were a hit for the family. The entrees were good sized and tasted good, but the portions on the sides were small. It was OK for us because we gorged ourselves on appetizers. My wife did not eat any appetizers and felt shortchanged on her fries (which we paid extra for because they were not included in her meal. Overall, the food was GOOD, albeit plain. The service was good, no complaints there. The restrooms were scary. Like, I'd should've used the festival pot-a-potty outside scary. Restrooms need a total gut job. So if this was Greece, I'd give it 1 or 2 stars. Taking everything into context, especially location and competition and the fact that it was not entirely a horrible experience, I'll be generous and give it a 3. Probably not someplace we'd come back to until we've tried the competition first.
