Jenny's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Perris

I GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO STARS EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT AN OPTION!

I came in here to have a quick breakfast before an appointment that I had up the street. For starters the hostess took my order and just put it in as a to go without even asking me and when I told her I wanted it to be for here she seemed confused, like she didn't know where to tell me to sit at when there's clearly a f* bar for people to sit at who's eating there by themselves. So I tell her I'm just going to go and sit at the bar, which I do and when I got over there a lady asked me if I would like something to drink so I told her I would just like a glass of water. Fast forward, I see my food come up and it's sitting in the window and I'm looking to someone to grab my food since there's so many people in the area and mind you my food wasn't the only thing up in the window. So a lady tells me she'll be with you in a minute, and I'm looking like are you serious, it's right there. You can just f* grab it. And she asked me have you been helped already, are you waiting on an order? And I tell her yes, isn't that it in the window. So the same woman who never brought me my water(I didn't get her name, but she looks like she's in her mid-to-late thirties, blonde hair and she's white) comes and snatches my plate down from out of the window flings open the storage compartment with the butter to flop onto my plate and mumbles to the other server yeah I guess she changed it to here!😑( It never ceases to amaze me when I come across people like this who work in customer service) NO THE F* I DID NOT CHANGE IT TO HERE! The f** hostess never asked me if I wanted it for here or to go!

Aside from that I ordered their pancake special which comes with two hot cakes, two eggs, two sausage links, and two pieces of bacon. This breakfast SUCKED BALLS! 😷 The pancakes were gross, they tasted extremely artificial, the eggs were really greasy, and the bacon was very thin and shriveled up. And although the breakfast was cheap, it definitely wasn't f* worth it! NEVER will I ever eat here again, let alone recommend anyone to eat at this...

So where does one eat breakfast when your kids are up at crack of dawn California time because their internal clock is still working in Texas time?

Oh Perris, CA...

We happened upon this town for a hot minute because we had a wedding at Motte Historical Car Museum.

After Yelp searching many a restaurants near 92571 area code, we happened upon this one.

When you walk in - ambiance is on point. You totally get the feeling of a diner set back in the 60's. Just like in the movies. Not to stereotype (but still stereotyping) - as soon as I walked in and scanned the people eating there, I knew this was the locals place to be for Saturday morning breakfast. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe they WERE all locals because how many people would frequent to Perris, CA?

Prices & Portions - I'm an old believer that breakfast should not be pricey. It's eggs and bacon and pancake batter y'all. So with that said, I obviously pre-judged complaining in my head about how pricey the meals were. But honestly guys, the portion sizes make up for the price of the meal. Each meal technically equaled 2 meals. You get a good portion of your main dish, PLUS large portions of 2 types of carbs. Don't get me started on the hashbrowns - they came out filling their own regular sized plate.

Food - food was pretty good. Nothing that stood out to write home about. Good enough to say if I were to happen in Perris again, I'd order me a corned beef hash breakfast again. I like how they have a good selection of different types of breakfast dishes too. More than just your plain jane eggs and bacon.

Bonus - they open at 7am if you (or your kids) are an...

Today I witnessed a very disturbing argument between the owner and a customer. The customer in the table next to me had mentioned to the waitress that her daughters waffle was burnt.

The owner then came to her table and argued with the customer how the waffle wasn’t burnt. He then accused her that she was complaining about her entire meal and she corrected him that the only problem was the waffle.

After going back and forth how the waffle is burnt/ not burnt the owner raises his voice at the customer and everyone is now starting to stare. I felt extremely uncomfortable and I hurried my mom to finish up so we can leave.

The owner then kicks the woman out of the restaurant. The woman is in shock and mentions how rude and disrespectful he is speaking to her but he raises her voice and tells her to leave again.

As she walked out I heard the owner call her stupid. And he continued to rant to his waitresses how the waffle wasn’t burnt.

What bothers me the most is that the woman never raised her voice and wasn’t even rude about it. The owner is the one who caused the scene.

Moral of the story. Burnt waffle or not, NEVER speak to your customers or employees that way. I heard the woman say she won’t be returning, and my family and I won’t be returning either. I will not support a business who speaks to their customers in this manner.

Besides, the food is...
