Perry's Deli — Restaurant in Middletown

Perry’s used to be my go-to spot whenever I passed through Middletown. The food was always a solid 10/10, and the staff was great. Unfortunately, my last two visits were disappointing enough that I won’t be returning.

The first time, our group of five ordered sandwiches, but the experience was far from what I remembered. The employees seemed annoyed by us and were noticeably cold. Two of our five sandwiches were made incorrectly, and the bread tasted stale. While dining in, we asked for extra napkins, only to be rudely told that we had already been given some.

The second—and final—visit was even worse. It was just two of us ordering hot sandwiches, with a simple request to change the bread on one. We were the only customers at the time, and I noticed they were using the wrong bread. I pointed it out before they got too far, but instead of correcting it smoothly, the employee argued with me until the cashier stepped in to confirm I was right. I then watched him throw away the wrong bread, push down the trash with his hands, and immediately start remaking my sandwich—without washing his hands. That alone was enough to put me off, but when we finally got our food, the quality was nowhere near what it used to be. The sandwich I had requested with a bread change was drowning in mustard, almost as if it was done out of spite.

I can accept the occasional bad meal, but the rude attitude and lack of care for food handling are deal breakers. Unfortunately, Perry’s is no...

Edit: Bumped it Up to a 4 because of The Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich. ☆♡

If You would Love to Make it up, Roderick maybe in (tall, young "bald" guy)--gift Him the Free Sandwich, tell him "That is Your Free Sandwich, that you wanted." Thanks, Perry's. Heading Off to school--so, I can't enjoy it, but He's been the one purchasing the meals (& recommended the Place). ☆♡ ~

Avoid the Roast Beef. Weird Red? Frost bite, rather strange raw? Like A Bad Pastrami. Avoid that too if they have it. Anyways. Perhaps go with a salad sandwich? Etc. Etc. The Oatmeal Cookie Looks Yum. The Mini Bottles of Energy: Really Good. Beer Available. Seats in Back. On Right side of wall in seating area, bottle capper. Good bottled Rootbeer. I Need A Better Sandwich. Great Customer Service. Attentive. Sometimes Flies Buzz (even in Refrigerated Cases). Weird that the Sandwich was Toasted. Not Subway Toasted.

Edit: I Never Knew Rare Roast Beef Existed like That. Will Definitely Stop Back in, likely Thursday Again. Try Not to Make A Big Deal About This Because My Boyfriend is Crazy on Only Good Reviews, but This is My Main Account & I Will Stay Me No Matter What. Boar's Head Roast Beef is Delicious. Cheers. I Am Excited That You Are in...

This place... you will absolutely love it and hate it all at the same time.

LOVE: the food is amazing! The triptip hot sandwich is to die for. The pasta salads are really good. The green salad bar is awesome. Even the fountain soda has the crushed ice (my favorite).

HATE: the gals that work there! Not only are they extremely SLOW.....They are the rudest staff I have ever encountered. They give everyone dirty looks, act like they hate their jobs and are not friendly at all. I was commenting to my daughter how rude the service always is and the people at the next table were telling me they were having the same opinion. Apparently, you can only get a job there if you know how to be "rude". The management/owner should really do something to uplift the spirits of his staff. Sadly, we have opted out of going there twice since our last visit because we didn't want to deal with the staff's attitudes. We went to Jolly Cone instead- yuk. Now, to top it all off they have paper straws- gross! Completely ruins the soda.

BAD STAFF.......Great food! ...
