Looking for breakfast spots in the area this looked to be our best bet. Plenty of parking available…read moreand it is located in what appears to be an old mall that while outdated looking did appear to be full of many other businesses. This is your classic diner you would imagine when you think of spots that brings regulars in everyday. Also I must add they were decorated for Christmas to give that little extra holiday feeling, great touch. You are greeted right away by some of the friendliest staff and service is top notch. The person in our party was getting their coffee topped off long before it had a chance of being empty. Not really something you see with service quality much these days. In typical diner fashion they offer their breakfast all day during their open hours as well as have rotating daily specials. While some of the specials sounded really good, and even just their typical menu offerings sounded tasty both my wife and I ended up choosing an omelette. She ended up choosing the bacon and cheese while I got one of their loaded ones that came with sausage, onions, homefries, and cheese. Serving sizes were great and it is definitely a spot you will be leaving feeling full. While both were tasty, we have had better breakfast and omelettes elsewhere but would gladly return here again! The cheese used appeared to be American cheese slices and my wife's hash brown had an off taste from the oil used to fry it. Just a few knocks against the food to make it a 4 star review rather than 5 but minimal overall. Positively though they filled her omelette with a ton of bacon! If you are in Potsdam or the nearby area looking for a breakfast (or lunch) spot I do think this is worth your time! Some of the friendliest staff in a place with old school vibes for a good hearty meal!

I had a combino plate called Versant with 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes with 2 french toasts. I also like thry give real maple syrup to put on french toast ans waffle. J'ai toujours aimé trouver un nouveau restaurant. Petinos est un bon endroit pour manger un déjeuner, la décoration est très bien et leur assiette combinées permette de rassasié les estomac les plus grand. Le service est excellent et la nourriture très bonne, il ont du vrai sirop d'érable pour les crêpes et gauffre ce qui est bien. J'ai dégusté une assiette appelé Le versant qui comprenait 2 oeufs, du bacon, creton et 2 pains doré, et je me suis régalé ! Ce resto fait changement des Cora et Eggspectation de ce monde.

The young waitress knew many patrons by name. I was the lone stranger in the place. Five specials were written on the wall by the cashier. Spaghetti, hamburger steak, club sandwich, etc... All the classics. I wanted breakfast but missed it by 20 min. I ordered the western sandwich (pretty close to breakfast if u ask me) with a poutine. Sandwich was good but a little small due to the size of the bread. The poutine was fine. Fries were good, so was the cheese. The gravy lacked taste for me. A little bland. Friendly service quick and efficient. The ingredients in the sandwich were fresh and crunchy. Probably a 3 1/2. No wow factor but good ol dinner grub. Bon apetite

I judge diner breakfast on the homefries and these were as bad as it gets. These were hash browns from the freezer section of the supermarket. Some may like that but it's not my thing.

Got the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so buttery that it immediately upset my stomach and lacked any other flavor-- all you could taste was butter. I unfortunately wasn't even able to eat my entire meal because it was just too rich/intense. Fiancé got the biscuits and gravy and it was a hearty portion but had to pay extra for eggs... he said he'd give his meal a 5/10. Both our breakfasts were served with home fries and those were also really gross. It also felt kind of expensive for diner food... we each got the entrees mentioned above, one coffee and waters and with tip included it was $50.

It was loud as per the norm but we placed our order for two of the specials. The one special was eggs, meat, home fries and toast...with a waffle on the side...it could have fed two! The other special was hash browns mixed with ham, onions and peppers covered in melted cheese - so good and filling. By the time we left things had quieted down a bit but I'm sure another wave of customers was en route. Really appreciate that they had one employee dedicated to seating, filling coffee and cleaning up tables. Makes the whole place nicer.

Pooh, Marie and I had our New Year's Eve supper here last night…read more We started off with drinks. Pooh and I had their signature Margarita and Marie had their Long Island Iced Tea. Pooh and I loved our drinks but for the price there should have been more alcohol and less ice. Marie wasn't crazy about her drink. She thought it was more like a cherry juice drink We shared the Calamari platter which was piping hot and had a delicious dipping sauce which Marie kept for her fries. For our main meal I ordered their Fried Chicken Salad. Pooh ordered Apollo à la Brasa, and Marie had Lobster Roll with fries and salad. I liked my salad but since it was "fried chicken " I thought the chicken would be hot. It was just warm so the skin wasn't crispy; more loose like sagging skin. Pooh loved his dish but it was a tad salty and greasy. Marie loved everything. Each of us had a Brazilian coffee which was delicious. After we shared an order of their Beignets. These beignets were huge and came with two dipping sauces: caramel and whipped Nutella. They were heavenly Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was lively - great music too We would definitely return. I will try a different dish.
