I just finished a business trip to San Diego area. Dine-In dining virtually impossible to find. Everyone is subjected to dining in tents outside and despite heaters, it is unpleasant. Perry's was a breath of normality. Waitress was friendly, polite, and personable. She welcomed all the regular customers. She greeted me and made me feel welcome to dine this morning. I have Celiac and other food allergies. The omelet was great with sauteed onions, mushrooms, and real cheese. It was not greasy or dry. Juice was real & fresh and not that "canned" flavor. This place is a gem that I will continue to return to on my regular trips to this area. My business partner had a ham & egg omelet and blueberry muffin. He raved.

Great breakfast. This is the classic diner. Been around for decades. Excellent servers. We bring our 2 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Order comes within 10 minutes, hot and great. My wife is hooked on their Spinach bacon frittata.

We read the reviews and believed them. Breakfast was just ok but absolutely nothing special. The staff were all friendly and helpful however. But the bacon was thin and just OK. The coffee is from Farmer's Brothers and made weak, MIdwestern style, and really boring. Lesson learned.

Extensive breakfast menu at good prices. French toast was fantastic especially if you love whipped cream and fruit. Great assortment of omelets and egg dishes. Enjoy!

Always can expect great food and service. Menus is well rounded with something for everyone. Even if it looks like a wait, it never takes long. Healthy portions make it worth it

Steak was the worst I’ve ever had, anywhere. Service was good and friendly, just that steak really soured our visit. Eggs were good, waffles were good too, but thin. Coffee was fresh and tasted well, but man, that steak was rubbery.

This restaurant has been around for a very long time. They do have limited hours and is always packed. They do also have another location downtown. Big portions and a fair price. Great choice.

We stopped in for breakfast and had a grand time. Great service (lots of cross service), food was hot, tasty, well prepared, and served quickly. We had a frittata, oatmeal (creamy and wonderful), eggs, hash browns. Large portions, we were stuffed! Great team effort by the staff, there was a birthday celebration and they encouraged everyone to join in, even the cooks from the kitchen. Highly recommended for a quick, casual meal.
