JS Perry’s Diner — Restaurant in New York

That you must request the key to the bathroom, gas station style, was my first tip about this restaurant. That the bathroom had not been cleaned in who knows how long, and that the hand dryer doesn't work, and there are no paper towels, set the tone for the meal. The onion rings and french fries were heated from frozen is certainly not a foreign concept. That the guacamole accompanying my colleague's quesadilla had obviously been dispensed from a wholesale container was the problem. Anyway, 4% added when you pay with plastic, and even for a stretch of town where there aren't many seated restaurants, trust you can do hella better than JS Perry's. Also, this review is on a meal had there today, June 6 2024. Reviews that appear before this one...I have no idea where...

I had a spinach pie (spanakopita) and Greek salad here and it was very good tasting and satisfying. It's good to know if you find yourself in the South Bronx (should you dare to roam these streets) that there's decent food here. I went here twice since I had something business related to do down here. The atmosphere of the diner is the major area that needs improvement but is pleasant. Sometimes a dark, old looking, low intensity environment is good though, especially if you're feeling down...

Perry's is a low key, hidden gem spot on Third Ave by 149th St and man, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. It's run by a very sweet Korean couple and the only thing better than the food is the service. My food came out SO fast. It was delicious and, more importantly, affordable. I had the gyro, which was really good while my sister had the burger which she said "c'est magnifique!" I'll have to try that next time and there will certainly be a next...
