Persy's Place sign

Persy’s Place is a local family-style restaurant with locations across Southeast Massachusetts. They advertise their menu as being “New England’s Largest Breakfast & Lunch Menu.” After sitting down to the gigantic menu on my first visit, I can see this being true! Compared to other restaurants in the area, the variety of menu items is astonishing.

There are so many breakfast choices that it is a bit overwhelming to be honest. They even offer an all-you-cat-eat eggs or pancakes deal! In addition, daily specials are also offered.

Note: Mike and I first tried out this restaurant while visiting my sister, who is a long time resident of Middleboro. It became one of our favorite local breakfast gems. This review is for our most recent visit to the Middleboro location.

The coziest place to dine in Massachusetts

Persy’s Place offers a warm, comfortable atmosphere. I love the wood decor and tables – it feels like you are dining in a log cabin. I love dining here in the winter months as the vibe is just so cozy. Regional souvenirs and unique games available for purchase.

Each table has fun brain teasers games to keep you entertained while you wait for your food. The inside sort of resembles a Cracker Barrel, although the setting is much more intimate and charming. Plus, it is always great to support local businesses over national chains.

Best breakfast in SE Massachusetts!

We have been to several of the New England Persy’s locations. This time we headed over to the Middleboro location (which is a good choice if you are heading into Plymouth for the day). Service was good, food came out fast, and prices were very reasonable.

I ordered the New England Harvest Quiche, a delicious home cooked combination of zucchini, squash, and tomato made with egg whites. It was so delicious and filling!

Most entrees include 2 sides of which you have your choice amongst 10 or so options. I went with the home-fries and Pumpernickel toast. Everything was so good especially the pumpernickel bread which I don’t see on the menu too often.

Mike ordered The “Dapper Dan” special, which consisted of 3 eggs, 2 buttermilk pancakes, and grilled Chicken Caesar. He also had this choice of 2 sides in which he opted for hash browns and a cinnamon crumpet. He enjoyed his meal as well. As you can see in the pic, it’s a pretty hearty serving. Come hungry if you order this one!

There are plenty of options for everyone on their enormous menu. Whether you are seeking a vegetarian friendly meal, something on the healthier side, or traditional pancakes, you will find them all on this menu. Whole grain and egg white substitutes are available on many items which is a nice bonus for anyone looking to cut down on their saturated fat and white starches. Most omelets are priced around $15 and pancakes and french toast in the $10 range, so not a bad deal in today’s society.

If you cannot find something on Persy’s menu, good luck finding something anywhere else! You can check out their full menu to get an idea before your visit.

I definitely recommend planning breakfast at any of the locations depending on where your day’s adventures may take you. You will be served an amazing meal in a friendly, cozy, woodsy dining room. I always try to keep it local and support small businesses. Persy’s actually serves better food in a nice setting than most chains, so you should be pleased.

What else to do in this area?

I recommend taking the short drive over to Plymouth while you are in the region. It’s an easy 20 minute drive. This historic coastal city is loaded with historic significance, most notably Pilgrim Memorial Park which is home to the Mayflower museum and Plymouth Rock. You need at least a few days to check out all the historic sites along the waterfront, and thus, I’ll direct you towards my weekend guide for the full scoop.
