Perkins Bakery - Apalachin

Long wait for food even though we were the only two ordering. Omlet was poor quality.

We stopped for a late lunch and the sign outside informed potential customers that the business was short staffed and asked patrons to please be patient. So we entered. Two people were paying and leaving, one person was seated and eating, and then us. We were seated and placed our orders and were served very quickly. That was the end of the service. The waitress never came back to check on us. When she finally came back, I asked for the check and inquired about the slice of pie that comes with the burger and pie special. She said she had forgotten about the pie. So I asked for her to bring it in a to go box. She came back with the pie and I asked if I pay her or the front counter. She said front counter, so I got up and walked to the front to pay. The second customer had finished also so both of us were standing at the front register waiting to pay.And waited...And waited...Now mind you...I had just asked the lady where I should pay. There were three people behind a partition laughing and talking about personal stories, and both of us...the other customer, could clearly hear them having a great time while we just stood there and waited. We were the only 2 customers in the entire restaurant and both of us were trying to get our dinner paid for so we could get back on the road.Finally, the waitress who brought my check to me wandered out during a lull in the behind the partition conversation, and had a big eyed look of surprise on her face as if the last two customers had magically appeared at the payment counter!She took our money and we got out of there.Management...just because the sign on the door says short staff...be patient, doesn't mean that 3 employees can't take care of 2 customers.No wonder the restaurant was empty.Next door, the Blue Dolphin restaurant had a full lunch parking lot. Perkins had nothing. So choose wisely patrons...choose wisely.

We were one of three tables. The server was new. So understandable she might not be great. But it seemed like she got little training. Plates of food, cups of drinks were being placed in front of my toddler, we had to ask where parts of our meals were, and one entree wasn 't put in to be made at all until the other meals were brought out. But we were told it only takes 3 minutes to make a meatloaf meal which is so reassuring and definitely explained why the food was less than good. For spending $100 I would 've expected a little bit better quality.

We were the only ones there for awhile. Staff was helpful, clean and good food

Had breakfast for the second time here and always had great food and awesome service. Place is clean to. Would come back for sure.
