The Hole In The Wall Restaurant & Lounge is located at 7056 Standpipe Road in Perry.
When the U.S. entered World War II, George decided he wouldn't allow active servicemen to pay for their meals in the hopes that his two sons might receive the same kindness while serving overseas. By the end of the war, 2,933 servicemen had received complimentary meals.
The sandwich shop became well known both for its owner's generosity and the tasty sandwiches it served. When people would give others directions, they'd refer to it as "the little hole in the wall in Perry."
The name stuck, and eventually, George renamed the place Hole in the Wall Restaurant. In 2004, Anita Billings bought it and moved it to its current location on Standpipe Road.
This place is definitely a hole in the wall in name only. Inside, you'll find a charming and upscale (but unpretentious) dining area.
The restaurant is open Wednesday - Sunday for lunch and dinner.
