The eatery has a cozy kitchen type atmosphere and the food is really good. I had one of their breakfast plates and coffee. The wait staff were friendly and pretty quick. read more

Ok place. I have only been there once. I ordered scallops. They weren't great. But that's what I get for ordering seafood at a place so far from the ocean. I noticed other people's plates. The food looked great. Down home. Looked like they had great specials. Generous portions. Nice atmosphere. Great service! I'll go there again.​ read more

Fantastic !!! Breakfast is amazing. Eggs cooked perfectly ! Sausage is great. Service wonderful - worth the trip

Fantastic comfort food with a small town New England atmosphere. Best breakfasts for 100 miles in any direction. The New Englander's Favorite is also MY favorite, crispy corned beef hash, three eggs any way you want them and a toasted english muffin with real butter. My wife lives their sausage gravy and biscuits, and I have to admit that it is the best version of that dish I have ever tried. Those biscuits do double duty in their homemade style strawberry shortcake too. Perry's is probably my favorite diner of all time, and after scores of visits, I can honestly say every meal has been excellent. Their consistency and quality are unmatched in the region. read more

Not much for ambience, but they do give you fairly large portions and the food is styled after home cooking. I was there today and ordered the fried scallops dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy with a side salad and coleslaw. Coleslaw was not the best I've ever had, fairly mediocre. The potatoes were again mediocre, but the worst part of all was the fact that my scallops were way over cooked. What a shame for a $16 dinner time meal. read more

Really excellent bacon cheeseburger. The bun was excellent-should have asked where they got them. Waitress was attentive and friendly. Nice ambiance. read more

Very attentive! Food was really good! Will go back! Steak and egg special was great! Half way decent size of prime rib! Yummy!

I used to eat at Perry's frequently when I worked in Poultney many years ago. I went back today for the first time in nearly 20 years and it was just as I remembered -- friendly, fast, and delicious with very reasonable prices. read more

Great experience. Food and service were very good. This isn't fine dining, it's casual but quality eats inside a market. And that was convenient because we purchased things we needed on our way out. I'll go back! read more

Great food and service - The staff was very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

Great food and service, we had the Ivan Sandwich and open faced turkey, both delicious.

Our favorite breakfast spot for the last 4 years. Small country diner with outdoor picnic table seating, convenient to bring my puppy dawg! Home made vermont comfort food cooking at its finest. Food is always fresh from their farm. Made with love by the chef/owners, Walt and Donna Perry. .... RIP: Walt Perry ... Thanks for always turning out consistently fantastic food! Home made bread, fresh eggs and potatoes from their farm. Coffee is sooooo good! Everything is always delicious. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Always pleasant with smiles on their faces! Love this place! Keep cooking Donna! :D read more

Good food, good pricing. Call ahead for a cut of tasty prime rib for Saturday nights. If you come home hungry? That's totally on you. Side note: they do not serve alcohol, but will gladly allow you to bring your own if you wish. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! I had a 3 egg omelette, with ham, that filled me up and left me some to bring home! The price is not bad whatsoever, and the feel of the room is inviting. Dining in was a great experience, and I can't wait to return and try their outside seating right on Main St. Poultney. I would suggest! read more

This was the best breakfast that I have ever had. I had the corned beef hash bowl and it was to die for.

Not only is the food absolutely delicious the staff is friendly and pleasant. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We came here on a Tuesday afternoon with 7 people for lunch. We were able to sit outside, which was nice. This place doesn't look like much, but it really does a great job with the food! Our waitress was very fun and pleasant, joking with our group the whole time she took our orders. Most of us got burgers. The burgers are big, cooked well and very tasty. They do sweet potato fries and regular fries. I would say that the regular fries are much better as someone told me they came from their potato farm? If you're in the area, it's a restaurant to visit. I was very impressed by the food, the quality and the service. read more

I was STARVING and we drove from Killington all the way over here to go somewhere else- but that somewhere else was closed and I think it was for a reason. This place is darn good! The regulars are obvious, and that's a good thing in my book. At the end of my meal even I felt like family. We were in for a veggie omelet (ordered by the bf because he saw someone else's) and a breakfast sandwich (w ham and a hash brown!) both delicious. I had to take a corn muffin to go because I knew I'd be craving some more by the time I got home. The corn muffin didn't even last an hour. I took one bite as soon as we got back in the car. And then devoured half by thirty mins into the drive, really trying to exhibit willpower. Needless to say, it was gone within the hour and we had three more to go before we reached home. Give this place a try if you want good food, good company, and none of the frilly stuff- and some excellent muffins! Oh my god and I almost forgot the coffee delicious, hot, and always fresh! read more

Back to Perry's again! I got my usual Prime Rib, Mashed and Butternut Squash. My daughter got the Chicken Cordon Bleu.It had a panko coating. As usual, the portions were huge(we'll be enjoying at least two more meals from our Take-home. Despite that , we got desserts to go! Tapioca pudding, my fav comfort dessert and my daughter got their famous Strawberry Shortcake. i also got the Soup DuJour, Sausage-Bean. It was so yummy. The staff are great, fun and friendly. If you're in the area, don't pass up this place. read more

Don't set foot in here. Worst restaurant experience of my life. Went in for a burger and sandwich with my wife. Ordered mozzarella sticks as well. 30minutes on the mozzarella. 45m on the burger (Medium Well)Had to ask the waitress how much longer for the burger because she completely ignored us the entire time we were there. Get the burger and it's Medium rare at best. When I told our second waitress about it being undercooked she did offer to recook another, and I told her I didn't have time to wait for another one to cook. I told her "I just won't be coming back again" Still no communication from our original waitress. No apologies nothing. However, I did get a bill... Turkey Club, 12oz. Burger(cooked completely wrong) mozzarella sticks and two unsweetened teas . $46.80 . I left 47.00 which is a lot more than any of them deserved IMO. Left and went to Stewarts shop next a few doors down. As I'm pumping my gas. Our original waitress shows up and says snidely " You forgot your change". I tried to explain that I don't tip for lack of service and bad food that takes too long. She then proceeded to tell my wife that she felt sorry for her being married to me" At that point I had some choice words for her and told her to Drag her ass. This is what you get when you try to support a local diner these days I guess. I won't set foot in Perry's as long as I live and I would advise anyone else not to either. read more

Awesome homemade cooking like grandma use to make. Perrys is a family run restaurant who own there own potato farm. We come here all the time for a cheep filing breakfast. Daily specials and weekend deals too, service is very friendly. They make everything homemade here even the toast, I love the eggs Benedict. read more

Here's a place where everybody body greets you when you walk in, The atmosphere is a nice warming and inviting. The aroma of cooking bacon and hash tantalizing the nose. The sign on the wall shows just how much of a family restaurant its with it saying GOOD FRIENDS GOOD FOOD GOOD TIMES ! There so much to chose from but I would have to say the best breakfast food would have to be Eggs Benedict. With a over easy egg and your choice of ham and sausage, Toast again with your choice of white, wheat, or homemade bread, with a side of home fries and sausage gravy. The portions are always more than enough. read more

This is an amazing playing. There service is outstanding. The food is totally worth the trip here. I would recommend this place over and over. The Perry burger is the best thing I've had. I had 2 meals out of one meals. Serving sizes are more then what you would get anywhere else. Try this place if you outstanding service and amazing food.!!! read more

Great stop for breakfast. Get the homemade cinnamon raisin toast! Thick and delicious. The eggs tasted fresh, I typically don't like scrambled eggs unless I make them myself but these were good! The waitress was highly entertaining and allowed substitutions if "you were a good boy today" which was an easy "yes!" for the men in our group as it was only 930 am. The sausage gravy felt like it was missing something and the home fries were basically just plain potatoes which always leaves me wanting more. Nevertheless, I'd return for the homey eats when in the area! read more

We have breakfast here every time we come to Poultney. Everything has always been fantastic and so reasonably priced. I love the pancakes, and omelettes. They also have a very tasty corned beef hash. I am looking forward to my next visit already. read more

Wife and I had dinner here . Food is good. Service is great just a classic dinner in a small Vermont town. My favorite is their breakfast menu. Wednesday day nights the special is chicken and biscuits. Can't wait to go back. A must try if in poultney read more

Saturday night is prime rib night at Perry's. Ribs and burgers are always fine here but the prime rib is a delight. A family atmosphere and great service. read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot in Poultney. Blueberry pancakes are better than my mom's! Homemade raisin bread toast and homegrown potato fries served with every plate of eggs. Our summer in VT isn't complete without breakfast at Perry's. Of course, there are lots of choices. Enjoy! read more

I writing this having been to places be cooked breakfast in a restaurant that serves FRESH Took a ride to the 4 1/2 star breakfast You decide Luke warm coffee Vegetable omelette with canned mushrooms and microwaved broccoli. Meat omelette sausage not cooked and bacon from the pre cooked box, my guess English muffin was great. Maybe it was bad day. There was 10 people in the place. My thoughts are that food prep is so lax that the people who micro wave everything think it is good Or I will say just a bad day at the grill Not a 4 1/2 by far. Home fries were frozen then cooked I'm out Not the place I heard about. Just a bad day I guess read more

This place made the overall best breakfast I have had out in a long time. My egg was cooked perfectly. This never happens so I was stunned and very pleased! The fried potatoes were made in house from scratch and not those horrid frozen ones encountered almost everywhere these days. The bacon was tasty. The toast was yummy and made from bread they bake in house. Cabot butter was available on the table. I have no complaints other than it was a little smokey from the kitchen-but hey that was probably because they were actually cooking rather than warming things up in the microwave. I'd be here all the time if it was near my home! read more

Great little diner for breakfast. I should have paid better attention because I didn't understand that the omelets don't come with cheese. They are literally egg and whatever the filling is. In defense of the diner, there was a little blurb that said, "add cheddar or provolone to any omelet for extra $" but I, in my infinite wisdom, just assumed that the omelets were being made with another kind of cheese and you could sub in another kind for a little extra. Nope. So I got a veggie omelet that was egg wrapped around some sauteed veggies. I didn't mean to eat such a healthy breakfast, but I did. The homemade breads are amazing. I highly recommend the cinnamon raisin bread. It was absolutely divine. I could have eaten a loaf of that and been content. You can also order, perhaps, the best hot chocolate ever. Huge cup of cocoa with a towering mound of whipped cream. They also sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top (make sure you ask for them!). Heaven in a cup. The pancakes looked bomb though I didn't try them. It seemed like everyone was enjoying their orders. The place was packed and seating is at a premium, so we hightailed it out to let the next group sit down. Otherwise, I think we would have lingered over coffee and toast for a couple hours! read more

This eatery is in small town with the friendliness people you want to meet. The food was the best that we had all week. It is 40 miles from Lake George, I hope we will have time to get back there before we head home. read more

It's warm and inviting here. Everyone knows each other and it's great. Waitresses are very friendly and attentive. Fresh turkey and real mashed potatoes. The grilled cornbread is the best I have ever had! The desserts are huge. The strawberry shortcake is enough for two and looks like it's made from scratch. (we didn't eat it but stared at our neighbors desserts). We will come back tomorrow for dessert and coffee. read more

Perry's Main Street Eatery - American Near Me - Poultney, Vermont

Any time you walk into a place randomly in the middle of a road trip and ask a smiling waitress of a certain age, noticing that the place was jam-packed at lunch, "Can we sit outside" and she says "Sit your butts down, I'll be right outside," you know you're on your way to the perfect casual eating experience -- which then followed: A prime cheeseburger cooked perfectly, and, since we were in the mood for true road food, a hot dog that my wife equated with the best hot dog of her long and well-lived life. But it isn't the food that makes this place a must: it's the ladies who are serving you. They're the moms and grand-moms you never had. This isn't a restaurant: it's a town hall. Drop everything right now and go. read more

Great breakfast food, terrific club sandwiches, good home cooking much better than any fast food place for the same money

Eggs Benny, fried chicken, burgers. All great. I'm pretty sure my cholesterol is suffering for it, but this place is the real deal.

The home made toast is unreal! I have only ever come for breakfast and usually get the Farmers Breakfast with French toast and it always kills it. On occasion I will get something off the specials white board which are usually quite unique and definitely "special". The employees are always super nice just as you would expect at a small eatery in Poultney. I wish there coffee tasted a lot better. read more

For breakfast, I'll give Perry's a five. The coffee is all right and plentiful, service is excellent and sweet, and the food is bar none. I've only tried the blueberry muffin, grilled with butter, and today the Eye opener with scrambled eggs, added cheddar, and sourdough toast (less than $5.50 for two eggs and cheese, toast, and coffee)--all were outstanding. The pancakes looked great. My friend said the salad was just okay, but come get breakfast! read more
