I ordered the fruit and not only was it 4 dollars, it came with bananas, which who tf puts bananas in a fruit cup.

The overall atmosphere and wait staff was excellent! I got the grilled bagel and it was sooo buttery and delicious the coffee was delicious and my cup was always full! Plus, you can't beat the prices! Especially in a place like Andover where everything is so expensive read more

As a college student this is my go to place when I am home. On longer breaks I find myself going 2-4 times in a week. Good prices, great good. Always go for Perry's Plate with chocolate chip pancakes and a grilled blueberry muffin. The owner is super friendly and always makes a great meal! 10/10 read more

Food and service here is excellent. Only downfall is the limited seating, but the wait is worth it! The Perry's plate is perfect because you get a little bit of everything. Mimosas are a must. read more

What a cute little breakfast diner! My kids loved sitting at the bar and watching the food being made. Price was great and food was fast. Everything tasted so good our family was eating off each other's plate. read more

I should have looked at the photo of the eggs Benedict before I ordered. Because I didn't, I received a plate where the sauce was dripping off it. And, soaking the home fries. It didn't look appealing. It tasted ok but the sauce abundance and appearance turn the pleasure of the meal into an effort not to make a mess everywhere. Ask for the Benedict sauce on the side!! read more

Cute and cozy place right in downtown Andover. Great service and environment for friends and family. Breakfast food all day and the chocolate chip pancakes take my breath away. Great when craving some comfort food!! read more

Unreal. You can find a legit diner by its scrambled eggs and these hit the spot with the sunrise started. The bacon was cooked to perfection and the chocolate chip pancakes were outstanding with the perfect amount of chips. Hidden gem in the town of Andover. read more

Food is not bad but not great. Portions are small and I think its pretty overpriced for what you get. Meh.Not bad in a pinch but nothing to go out of your way for for sure. Nice staff tho! read more

Nice intimate coffee house but all pretty average. If you come with low expectations you won't be too disappointed.

Cozy, clean, friendly, affordable and- most importantly- delicious! Get the Chicken Barb- a a great take on the Merrimack Valley classic!

Ate here once for brunch with friends, food was not very good. Ordered eggs over easy. They were tasteless and really thin and flat... not sure how eggs over easy can not turn out good. Seating way too crowded. No one thought their food was good. We won't go there again. Miss the lantern, food was always good. read more

Great breakfast place, love the breakfast sandwich. Great pancakes! Chicken Barb is great and they do a fish fry on Fridays! Great service and a friendly family establishment. We go all the time. read more

I came here for the first time today. The food was great, service was friendly. The pancakes and bacon were awesome. Will deffinitly be back.mm read more

Went here for the 1st time to try a new place, the food was disgraceful. The eggs were cold and flavorless, the bacon looked and tasted like a dog treat and to top it off they didn't even get my order right. So bottom line if you actually wanna eat warm food that actually taste like something and doesn't make you contemplate the existence of the establishment then don't go here. read more

Nice place run by husband and wife. Good people, good food. Solid breakfast. Added to one of my weekend go to places. Just opened. Try it out. read more

Yum! I love this place for breakfast! Excellent food, service, and very reasonable prices.

Service was incredibly slow. They forgot about our order until we had to ask 3 times. Food was really bad. Don't recommend.

I really miss the last place. Visited Perry's Plate today for the very first time. Ordered a bowl of oatmeal and it was just horrible. I asked if the oatmeal was instant and the waitress confirmed that it was. A bowl of instant oatmeal that was not even prepared correctly for about $6!!! How hard is it to prepare a decent bowl of oatmeal for that price? Will not be going there again. read more

Love this place. Food always good. Chicken barb, chicken pot pie, chicken veg soup...yum. People are friendly. No desserts tho! Not a one! :-( I do agree with a couple of the reviews that there's so much stuff on the walls. Stick to one theme (like sports). read more

Just had breakfast here recently. Ooof. Service was friendly and efficient. No complaints there. Coffee was fine. Orange juice ($2.00 !) was a very small glass of cold water with just a tiny bit of orange flavor. Eggs Benedict was appallingly bad. Maybe this is just not the kind of place one should order Eggs Benedict? The eggs and muffins were under-cooked. The sauce was awful and there was way way too much of it. Not enough ham. I hope they can improve... but this was pathetic. read more

Stopped in for breakfast. Small place but clean and fully staffed. Small menu but food was delicious. Will be back.

This is the reincarnation of the Lantern Brunch . The new owners have remodeled and updated the restaurant . It is clean and well kept . The breakfast menu is more than adequate regarding selection and price . The service is prompt and friendly . Coffee refills as needed . I wish that they had asked George for the recipe for home fries as they were the best in the area . Also I wish there would be 4 slices of bacon instead of 2 in the # 1 . All in all I highly recommend that you give this restaurant a try . Be prepared to wait on weekends but it is worth it . read more

The place need to have a visit from the health inspector. It's filthy the service is horrible. The place is so dirt by and the food is gross. The owner should give up read more

Cute little diner. Very small inside but really great friendly staff! A little pricey and smaller portion sizes but the food was great

Just ate here for the first time. The menu is small but the food is fantastic. I would highly recommend!!!

So dirty! Sat at the counter and couldn't believe how gross the stove was...looked further and saw that everything around was so filthy. Then we watched the cook pour oil all over the homefries as he cooked them. Guess what the homefries tasted like? Oil! And then we watched the cook take a package of instant oatmeal, add hot water, and then serve it. Really? Don't bother having it on the menu if it's a $.30 package of instant oatmeal. This place needs not only a complete clean down, but a little more focus on serving fresh food. read more

What a great little place, love it! They have the best pancakes i have ever tasted. I will be coming back.

I've come here for breakfast 6-8 times and have had good food and service on all but 2 occasions. However, the 2 times that weren't good, I was extremely disappointed. 1st poor experience: My GF ordered an egg sandwich and it arrived with runny eggs, but she hates runny eggs. She told this to the waitress and was told "that's how we make them", not oh I'm sorry or can I make you another like every other place I've been to. The waitress finally went back to the cook (the owner I believe) and came back saying "there's nothing we can do" and left it at that. 2nd poor experience: I brought my family there on a Monday morning and my sister ordered an egg sandwich which the menu offered either an English muffin or bagel. The waitress didn't ask which one she wanted and neither did my sister (our bad). The sandwich came on an EM which was so wet it was inedible. When she told the waitress she did say she was sorry and asked if she would like another EM. My sister asked for a bagel instead and the waitress went right to the cook (a different man) and it took him 30 minutes to toast the bagel. In my mind he was hoping we would give up, finish and leave before he made toasted it (he wasn't that busy). I WON'T BE GOING BACK. It not worth risking the embarrassment. It's too bad since I can walk there. read more

If you're looking for an actual breakfast, and not just coffee, in Andover's center, this successor to the Lantern Brunch is for you. Inexpensive, with courteous service, Perry's retains the flavor of the "Brunch" but with Perry's own spin. If you're not happy if breakfast for two is under $20, by all means, head down to the Shawsheen Luncheonette, where the food is terrific, but you never leave feeling like you got more than you bargained for. After breakfast, at Perry's the oldest book store in the country is just across the way read more

First time there; last time there. Chicken soup may be "award winning" according to the owner, but serving it hot as opposed to luke warm would be better. And although it tasted fine, it was not exactly a culinary delight! Home fries were cold, looked old, and not appetizing and a mediocre portion as a side. Never got the honey for my tea although I asked three times for it. Had a side salad and never got my dressing until after the bill arrived. Prior to receiving the bill, we told the waitress that the soup was barely warm and the home fries were cold and therefore very little was eaten. She took the plate and we thought she would return with warmer items; however, she returned with a bill for the full amount! When we asked to speak to the owner, he was defensive, belligerent, and totally out of line. This is definitely not a restaurant to which I will return. read more

Today was the first day I've ever tried this place. I ordered 2 eggs, bacon, toast, home fries, and a pancake. My boyfriend got something similar with scrambled eggs and 2 pancakes. I got no toast, and we ended up with just 2 pancakes to split when we ordered 2 separate orders of pancakes. Food tasted mediocre, could have made it better at my house. Kind of pricey as well. last time going there for sure. read more

Was up on the north shore and wanted to stop at a breakfast joint. Great atmosphere and really enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. Everything was made fresh. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area read more

Very nice remodel. Clean and fresh looking. Food and coffee were great. Waitress was friendly and efficient but needs to not stand talking with back to customers(minor issue but helpful) read more

Against my better judgement, I went back because a friend really wanted to go. Nothing has changed- it needs a real good cleaning and maybe they should consider a new cook. There are other breakfast spots in town that are far superior. read more

I was here about a month ago and I found the menu very limiting and basic. It's a comfy environment and the staff there is very nice but I wish the menu was a little more elaborate. The food I got was pretty good but nothing memorable. read more

Well that was disappointing -- 60% because of service, 30% because of food, 10% because of atmosphere/cleanliness. Maybe we just got a dud server because I see that most other folks are impressed by the service here. Greek salad was pile of ice-berg lettuce, a few tomato wedges, some shredded cheese, and 3 kalamata olives. I had asked that she hold the onions, so maybe that would have added some flair, but the salad was very uninspired. My father ordered grilled cheese on wheat, it came on white. My mother ordered a scoop of tuna salad, which server said was fine, but then delivered a full tuna roll saying the cook "probably didn't understand." When we pointed out that we were still charged for the full tuna roll, server said "he [presumably the owner?] doesn't do substitutions and besides we're closing soon." Not true -- they were closing in 1.5 hrs. As a life-long server, I 100% understand not wanting to do substitutions, but as the server, it's your job to alert your customers to that fact and let them know they'll be charged for the full deal. Plus you don't tell customers that you can't accommodate them because you're closing soon. Super rude. TVs visible at all angles, menus hadn't been wiped down since the place opened. Coffee was good. And everything was cheap. read more

Had an amazing omelet - great service great people! Would definitely recommend this local neighborhood spot!

After hearing so many good things about Perry's Plate we finally made it in for breakfast. We entered the very busy restaurant and were promptly greeted by Matt and Liz the owners. We had a party of five and the wait staff went right to work arranging two tables so we could sit. Our waitress came right over and took our drink order. We ordered our breakfast which included omelettes, pancakes,French toast and breakfast sandwich. The wait for food was just right and when everything arrived it was delicious. Our waitress checked in with us and was good with coffee refills and juice refills. With great food and very good service Perry's Plate is a can't miss for people in the Andover area to try. We certainly will. read more

Perfect example of a place that does just a few things right rather than put out a massive menu and sacrifice quality as a result. For a traditional diner breakfast, you won't find a better value in the area. If you're looking for something unique or eclectic, this isn't the place. read more
