Persy's Place Falmouth, MA — Restaurant in Falmouth

we had such terrible service we were very tempted to leave. If we hadn't put so much time in waiting we might have. I get that it was labor day weekend. I get that they were short staffed. I get that they have to hire 18-year-olds. What I don't get is how they can let a hostess tell every single guest it will be a 15-20 minutes wait while there are empty tables and they'll actually wait about 45 minutes. I've worked at restaurants and I think they could have seriously helped their case by being more realistic about the wait, maybe explaining why there were open tables, or not seating anyone outside if they couldn't keep up. We heard grumblings that they were down a cook. I don't expect them to be airing their dirty laundry, but there are about 6 locations and the staff they did have could have helped one another out.

I did think their portions were large, and everything came with a few sides. The sides are all carbs & meat and there wasn't a fruit option. I wasn't impressed with their biscuits and gravy because it was supposed to be sausage gravy and it wasn't really.

It isn't worth the wait and they didn't even try to make the waiting parties feel...

I sat outside by myself for breakfast. The coffee is good. I drink my coffee with no cream and sugar. I would say it is stronger than dd and lighter than s-bucks. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. Came with two sides. I had the hash browns and corn bread. Everything was good. The cornbread and hashes had a nice light char from the flattop. I ordered the eggs over easy, and they were done perfectly. The place itself is OK, worn but not a dump. The service is lacking. Started off good. One waitress sat me down, I got the menu and ordered a coffee from another waitress who was going to be my waitress. I ordered, food came and then radio silence. The next time I saw her was with the bill. I asked her if she could top the coffee off, and I could tell that was putting her out. When I first got there, the other waitress was topping off her customers, so I knew they did it. Well, I enjoyed the coffee, took cash out and waited, and waited. Well, I ended up going inside to pay. The kicker was their she was leaning on the counter, yelling to a guy out back as to whether he was working or just hanging around....

This was a hard one to decide between 3 and 4 stars. The food was extremely slow to come out of the kitchen, and the waitress was also a little inattentive. There wasn't a wait when we arrived, so it's not that they were overly busy. When the food did arrive, nothing really stood out. We had 2 different versions of the eggs benedict. The english muffins weren't toasted enough, there wasn't enough Hollendaise sauce, and the side choices forced us both to waste some food. I had the chourico hash, and it didn't seem to have the siracha that it was described as. My wife's ham was very mid on her eggs. The potatoes were ok, but they were nothing special. And, in this day and age, when breakfast dishes are costing 15 bucks each, I don't feel like I should leave without feeling completely stuffed. However, I didn't feel that way.

This was our second time back. First time was during Covid, so I didn't want to leave a review, as we all know that during THAT time everying was a little off, but at this point, I expect a little better. I don't see myself trying...
