    Yuck  I remedied this by asking for a cup of hot water and soaking them before using them
    Carolyn F.

    Monday 9AM : In the area with a little time to spare. A very pleasant greeting and I was seated immediately in an expensive dining room with clean tables. A few other diners were already enjoying their breakfast. I have not been to a Perkins in a decade so it's almost felt brand new to me. The menu has changed a lot from what I recall. There's a whole section for 55 and over specials which cater to smaller appetites if not lower prices. I had already enjoyed my morning tea, so I opted for water with lemon which came to the table very promptly. One small downside was that the flatware did not look sparkling clean so I ordered some hot water and let it soak. This is a common problem at mini restaurants that use commercial dishwashers. The dishwashers are fantastic when set properly. My order: from the senior section lol egg over easy, two slices of well-done bacon, well done hash browns, and rye toast. Everything out quickly and cooked to perfection. That was impressive! I was also very intrigued by a special promotion going on. A fruity eggroll type of concoction. Diced apples, cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon rolled in an egg roll and fried to crispy perfection then tossed in cinnamon sugar, and served with a caramel dipping sauce. Oh my goodness it was delicious I couldn't finish most of the meal so they graciously afforded me of travel box to take everything home. It's not inexpensive to eat here, but overall, I think the value is good and you're not rushed in and out. If you just want to catch up with a friend or take the family out for a bite and not be rushed, I think it would be a great spot I wish they had crêpes. I feel like I remember them having crêpes decades ago. Parking is very simple with lots of spaces that meet ADA compliance. The restaurants easy to get into and out of and I think they serve breakfast all day, which is right up my alley. Would I return? If I run the area and craving breakfast, I would consider it. Honorable mention that they have pies to take out entire pies. I suspect you can order one for the holidays

    Waited 10 minutes to be seated

    My last visit was perfect; this one was not. We waited 10 minutes to be seated. The table was not clean. The waitress was absolutely stellar: friendly, polite and personable. The pancakes were perfect. My eggs were over easy, but Ai asked for over medium. The steak was OK and the breakfast potatoes were delicious. I am a fan of Perkins. I would return; maybe today was just a one off.‍

    We had a great lunch in a clean and spacious setting. The menu was huge and had tons of options. Service was friendly and timely. Loved this place.

    2/21/2021 Perkins offers a nice variety of dishes along with a bakery for a plus, hence the name. We came during lunchtime and there was a 20 minute wait when we arrived. They asked to write our number so we'd be called, which I've never encountered before. There wasn't enough space to wait inside, so we waited in our car until time passed. Service was a bit slow until our waitress came. Our waitress did a great job answering the questions we had and checking in with us. Getting our food was no issue, but it took a little longer than expected. Someone in my group wanted to order a muffin and did, which didn't come out at all. It took at least a couple of minutes of waiting for our waitress to return. She asked for it again and the waitress took off and didn't come back for several minutes. We then asked for it at the end and took it as take-out. Take note of what's missing if that happens. I hope our experience next time will be better all around.

    Kind and attentive staff. Delicious food. Quick seating and service. Will return in the future.

    Kind and attentive staff. Quick seating and service. Food was delicious, breakfast potatoes were very good. We will definitely be returning in the future.

    Note this was received at 12:48 pacific, so really nearly 4pm in ny which was after I expected it delivered and 12 minutes to their closing
    Anita T.

    It's unbelievable how this place could ruin a holiday from its lack of accountability and general not giving a f*ck. We ordered a meal for my elderly mother who lives alone in Poughkeepsie and doesn't drive much these days. I was so delighted to see they were open on thanksgiving until 4. I ordered a fairly simple meal to be delivered at 3:50. First I was asked in Doordash to adjust the time to 330. Fine. Order set up, all good. I even got a confirmation text about 45 minutes before the delivery time saying the order was confirmed by Perkins. By 3:46 I get a message saying the order is getting canceled. What?!? Basically sounds to me like these people wanted to close up early with total disregard for their guests. As much as I empathize with wanting to leave for the holiday, I absolutely don't remember the last time I had the audacity to tell my boss i was gonna bail because I didn't feel like doing the last 2% of my work. This was completely broken down in communication. Of course by the time I get this message, I frantically call other places for delivery but most are closed by now and pickings are slim on a holiday to start. This was an absolutely aggravating and disappointing experience, and I'm sad for not being able to get dinner to my mom. It would have been the least we could do since we can't be together from the pandemic still. Very upset at how unreliable this business was.

    Delicious Breakfast burger
    Kathleen H.

    Breakfast burger with side of soup was delicious. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Food was very filling.

    Build-A-Breakfast
    Lauren G.

    I have no complaints! Breakfast was just as good as the diners in the area, and more convenient than Cracker Barrel. We waited about 5 minutes before being sat and service was quick. Good value for the $$.

    Enjoying a cup of joe.

    LOCATION: on the tiniest Main Street I know Adorable…read more"downtown " Wappingers Falls, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley, just 12 minutes from Metro North's New Hamburg station on the Hudson River ( green) line from Grand Central Station, NYC. I mentioned this cute little town because it's just one of the little niches along the Hudson river that makes a perfect little day trip. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: really quaint storefront, and first impression.Enter through the cafe door which also functions as a retail shop for handmade objects like soaps, etc. The gifts have an upscale vibe-worth a trip back. We had about 15 minutes to kill before attending a Yelp event across The Street so we opted to take the chill off by purchasing a hot beverage at Norma's. The staff is pretty laid-back, friendly, but laid-back. If you're in a hurry, I'm not sure if this would work. The hot and cold beverages are very straightforward and you can get some vegan options here. There were two behind the counter, but I felt they were a little engaged in their personal banter and we're not that attentive. Not a real sense of urgency or purpose. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but once they did give us their full attention, we let them know that we were waiting for an event across the street and didn't have a lot of time. They asked us if we'd like to sit down with our beverage and we opted to do so since it was pretty cold outside. We ordered two hot chocolate And two homemade biscuits. They gave us a table number stanchion for the table and let us know they would be bringing it to us. We did not need to wait. We took the three steps down to the main dining area, where we were pleasantly surprised that they were having a live event - in this case it was a storytelling event. There was a table available for the two of us so we sat down and quickly realized that the table was so off-balance that it post a potential safety hazard. When I placed my hot chocolate down and rested my wrist, the entire table tilted forward toward me. This is an easy thing to fix, but my guess is that it's been this way for a really long time. That's unfortunate. All that aside, the room was really cozy and had a lot of character - lots of two top and four top tables to provide a very intimate setting with each one having a good view of the small stage Minutes went by and there was no biscuit delivered. More minutes went by and we began to wonder if they had forgotten. I guess is that they weren't making the biscuits from scratch so most likely they did forget. Since we had already paid for everything with a pretty generous tip, we waited a a few more minutes. Time ran out when we noticed that the event attendees were lining up across the street. That's something we could see from the really great big windows that faced Main Street. Reluctantly, my sister and I got up from the table and headed to the counter where we had made the order. We let them know that we needed to go and asked if the biscuits were ready. They seemed perplexed at first and then a lightbulb moment. Yes. I suspect they did forget the order. I wouldn't bother so much but two biscuits and two hot chocolates. It was about $20 plus tip so when they recognized that the biscuits were still missing, they asked if we would like to take them to go. The lack of awareness was disappointing because they were clearly not busy with anything else A minute or two later, they emerged from the kitchen with a small bag, presumably containing the two biscuits. Service was definitely lacking, particularly for what is a bit of a higher priced venue. Maybe we caught them on an off night but my sense is that laid back attitude is built in to the business model. Would I return to Norma's? I'm not sure. The hot chocolate was good, not from a mix, but would it bring me back? I'll let you know.

We leave Long Island early so we usually look for a breakfast spot on the way up. We checked Yelp (what else would we check) and found this hidden gem of a diner. It was aprrox. 10 minutes off the Taconic Pky. and worth every minute to have breakfast here. It's located in a small strip mall so it was a very easy in and out off the main road. Parking early in the morning is never usually problem. Out of the car and made our way into this very cozy-warm-comfortable-non-flashy setting. We also received wonderful hellos and good mornings from all of the staff and customers sitting too. We really enjoyed the place. Cozy, friendly and not glitzy. I ordered the French Toast and my wife the vegetable omelette. Without a doubt, one of the best breakfasts ever. Delicious french toast that tasted special. Well cooked and plentiful. Great link sausages that did not taste like supermarket blend. My wife's omelette was tasty-fresh and loaded with veggies. This shop is a home run. I truly do not understand any of the reviews below five stars. Just nonsense. One complaint was that they did not refill their coffee mug. REALLY??? We're looking forward to our next trip up so we can make the Falls Diner and regular stop. KUDOs to team and food!
