Reviews describe Petinos as a lively breakfast and brunch spot with generous portions, a broad menu and food that many guests find tasty and comforting, and the atmosphere is often described as welcoming with friendly staff and reliable value, though several visits note variability in service speed and attentiveness depending on the time and crowd, with busy mornings, longer waits and occasional lapses such as slow water service, miscommunications or seating tensions, many diners praise dishes like eggs Benedict, waffles, avocado toast and smoked salmon and say portions are substantial, while a few reports mention items that did not meet expectations like rye bread that was over toasted, dishes served cold or spinach in eggs florentine that used frozen spinach, noise levels and seating comfort can vary with outdoor areas sometimes needing shade and umbrellas, overall Petinos remains a dependable option for a hearty breakfast or brunch with warm hospitality, though weekend crowds and occasional inconsistencies should be anticipated.
La nourriture était bonne, mais elle est venue un peu froide car le service était lent. Mais l'expérience dans l'ensemble était belle & je vous conseille d'aller l'essayer.

Encore une belle expérience. J'ai pris le petit déjeuner'équilibré' & l'assiette était vraiment généreuse. J'adore les galettes de sarazin & la leur était à la hauteur. J'aurais probablement dû demander quoi mettre dessus car je les ai mangées sans rien & faut vraiment aimer les galettes pour aimer ça sans rien... La prochaine fois, je demanderai quoi mettre dessus...
Amazing food to go along with amazing service.
New owners who are excellent with customer service.
Amazing food & generous portions.
I had the omelette with bacon & swiss cheese, & it never disappoints.
The potatoes are partially delicious.
I usually avoid giving a bad review, but this time I found it unreasonably bad customer service.
Excellent service is what I USUALLY say about this Petino's location, as I have been here dozens & dozens of times.
However, today August 25, 2024, although the restaurant was quite busy, there were some empty tables & booths for four or more people. Three pairs of people that were waiting for a table were seated side-by-side at a table for six where the 3 tables were separated by just a few inches. Unfortunately we got the middle table & there was barely enough room to move. The couples on the end tables at least had free space on the other side of them.
There was so little room for us that I had nowhere even to put my purse as there was not enough room to hang it on my chair & the floor at my feet had crumbs & food on it.
When we asked if we could please be seated somewhere else like at an empty booth that was right near us we were told that we would have to go wait in line again.
When we protested over why should we go stand in line again as we were clearly there before the other few people in line we were told that our table would go to the next people in line since we gave it up & we would end up back at the end of the line.
Again, I repeat that there were at least three empty booths for 4 & an empty table for six available.
I am not suggesting that we should be seated at a table for six, but why not give a booth for four to two people if it was empty?
We were finally seated at a small booth for two, but two of those booths for 4 stayed empty the entire time we were there.
My friend & I have gone to this Petino's multiple times, & usually the service is very good.
Not sure why today they made such an issue over a simple change in seating.
The hostess seemed to be particularly bothered by our request.
This place is the worst! The service is non existing. It is dirty & not maintained at all. The menu fell out of the jacket & was filthy. The seat cushions are deformed & very uncomfortable. After being seated on a Tuesday at 11am when there was only five tables with customers, we waited over 15 minutes & nobody even brought us a coffee or came to see us. We walked out & went somewhere else. This was the third time & the last!
This place is a must-visit for breakfast lovers! They serve the best English breakfast & Belgian waffles. The food is super delicious, & they have a great variety of options. The portions are BIG, & the quality is top-notch. Plus, the staff is friendly & always ready to help.

Have not been out for breakfast in a long time. Petinos still has my favorite potatoes & sausages around. Florentine benedict fabulous. Service excellent. Will be back.
Ordered a BLT, the edges of the sandwich were only bread, not a very hearty meal for a $12. Sandwich. Service was slow to non existant & the pin pad started at 18%. I am offended at paying an 18% tip on the food & taxes. This has to stop, starting at 18% is much too much in 95% of occurrences.
