Perma Stone Inn, located off Route 6 in Galeton, is a casual eatery that offers American cuisine at reasonable prices. The establishment has a diner-like ambiance with taxidermy mounts from the area displayed in a cool little cove. The interior design is simple and unpretentious, much like a VFW post. However, the portions are generous, and the food is excellent. The menu features massive subs, burgers, personal pizzas, and sandwiches that can feed six people. The bacon-topped pizza is a must-try, but be prepared to pay an additional $4.49 for it. The Tig Burger and Bacon Tig Burger are crowd favorites and come with a side of beer-battered fries. Vegetarian options are available, such as Ruben Bits, fried mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and jalapenos. The place also offers a variety of soft drinks, cocktails, and wines to complement your meal. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. However, the cleanliness of the place needs improvement, as flies are abundant. The restaurant has outdoor seating, and parking is available on the side of the building. Overall, Perma Stone Inn is a great spot to stop by for a hearty meal while traveling through Potter County.

So the waitress scolded us for a good while about not making a reservation because we were a party of 6, even though we aren’t local and just passing through. She said she didn’t care call next time, we literally won’t be back in the area again. Unless you have a sign someone where I’m not sure how people that aren’t visitors would know that. She did cool off and was pleasant. There was profanities being screamed in the kitchen, loudly. But the food was excellent, massive and it was over all a nice meal. We are generally easy going and well the waitresses scolding us was off putting, it wasn’t a horrible experience. They did have a sign that said enter at your own risk, which I thought they were just being silly, but it turns out no, they weren’t. We kept saying “well they did warn us” Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1 Recommended dishes: Bacon Cheeseburger
Aside from hearing what sounded like a very pissed off Gordon Ramsey back in the kitchen, the food was excellent! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
Recently came to the area and asked the locals where we should go to for a great meal. They said try the Perma Stone Inn. We arrived on a Tuesday around 1:30 pm for lunch. It was very quiet with just one person drinking at the bar and a large loud television playing the History channel. I now know things about the Romain’s and their water source that I hadn’t before. We sat at the bar to order our drinks and lunch. Shortly after being there the bar person showed up to welcome us with a menu. We ordered our drinks and our sandwiches while we glazed at the television. We also looked around and noticed how dirty the place was as flies started arriving. Here’s a fly there’s a fly everywhere there’s a fly oh my just so many flies. So we started to take a deeper look around the place. There was spider webs, fly dropping and a general dirt that all looked like it has lived there before the pandemic of COVID-19. We could tell this place had not had a DEEP cleaning in a very long time. We keep the flies away from the top of our drinks and waited for our meal. Knowing our meals were being visited by flies in the back there was not much we could say but just wonder how dirty the kitchen must be if the front is so filthy. Everything was whipped down and surfaced clean but you can just tell it’s missing a good Deep cleaning. A couple six or so people came in while we were there so it does have clients. Our food arrived. These plates were HUGE. Omg these sandwiches are completely oversized and each plate could feed six people. Well let’s just say these are large sandwiches and the taste was wonderful. This kitchen knows what they’re all about and have no problem delivering a great huge meal. The locals are right the food is fantastic and well worth the price. So my review is simple! Keep your portions, prices and quality of food right where you have them. Great food well prepared and served. Clean house and once you have cleaned house clean again! Get down and dirty and give the place a real DEEP cleaning and then try and figure out away to keep the flies off the menu? There’s a lot of tricks to keep flies away and I’m not talking about your bar flies either. Last is a reminder for me when I return because I will return! Sit at a table because with the portions size I need to be closer to my plate that what the distance the bar puts me at. All in all this is a place to enjoy and the only reason my stars are low on my review is that it needs a good cleaning and to chase out the flies.
