What a huge disappointment compared to my visit one year ago!

Our silverware had old, dried food on it upon taking them out of the napkin!! The couple sitting next to use asked for new silverware, too!

I ordered the cheeseburger quesadilla. I couldn’t eat it as it was so greasy. I found two whole pickle slices in one quarter of my quesadilla unlike the picture showing the pickles all chopped up and mixed with burger and bacon. The fries were good, not too warm, but not for $11.99!!

Our waitress never same back to check on how we were doing and/or if the food was okay. She dropped off the check and said “pay me!” Well good luck seeing her again. We waited and waited…

Finally, we walk up to the “to go and bakery counter to pay our bill.” Multiple staff just look at us like we are non-existent. We still there for a minimum of 10 minutes. The hostess, wearing turquoise glasses, proceeded to ignore us as well as the guy waiting in line behind us to pick up his ”to go order.” He was commenting how his food is sitting there getting cold and he was on a time crunch!

The turquoise glasses lady finally asked if we needed to pay our bill. We told her yes and she told us to go find our waitress. What?! Did she help us? Nope! We waited again and the turquoise glasses lady proceeded to ask us to move to the side so she could help the guy in line being us! Whoa! Would you have walked out? I was ready too!!

Tracked down our waitress, on our own, to pay the $32 bill for two disgusting meals and water. No I didn’t leave her a tip especially when she was staring at the card reader watching to see what I am putting in for a tip.

I think they should tip us for wasting our time watching their circus and trying their horrible food with terrible customer service.

I have been to this Perkins multiple times in the last 30 years but what a disappointment!

Adriana K was our server. She was very kind and efficient. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a Perkins in a long time. Very large location, unique features include a bar which most locations do not offer and not a typical layout. Food was very tasty and was cooked as requested. Tables were stocked and clean, Adriana came back to our table at what seemed like appropriate times to check in and did not do the typical “how is everything tasting?” (Before we’ve even gotten a chance to eat anything) I appreciate that she was available when we needed her and not pestering us while we were enjoying our breakfast. Men’s bathroom could use some attention for sure, it wasnt disgusting but it was pretty dirty for how early in the day it was when I was there. It was a bit busier than most Perkins I’ve been too but I understand why since it seems like a good location and good staff. Thanks for a good experience, well come back sometime. (Food is a bit pricey. I honestly would rather there be smaller portion and lower price options) $60 for 2 people seems a bit much but we were able to take home some left overs.

We came with a big group and our server was amazing. She was so kind and took care of everyone so well. The staff were all so kind and fun to interact with. The food was delicious and made the experience all the better.

this BIG country skillet was ABSOLUTELY mouth watering. It made me reminisce about my childhood and how great food used to taste. A mix of nostalgia and culinary bliss. It was so good, I went up to my girlfriend and swept her feet from under her. Although my asthma got in the way and I couldn’t physically lift her up all the way. Although I do think her curves look nice. Like the curves that were seen on the omelet. It made me regret dining at a restaurant with just a peanut butter sandwich in a ziplock bag on our first date. Also I also feel compelled to tell y’all that the food was so stupendous that it made me sweat profusely, which then I needed to use my spray to use on my pores, which also then accentuated my body odor since it was so strong. However, the aroma of the skillet was so nice that it completely made my mouth water. I wished that I had gone faster on my tandem bicycle on my way here from home, with my significant other on the back. I almost forgot to add this while writing, but the food was so great that it then reminded me of how I first fell in love with Wonder Woman. Perkins is MAGIC!

“Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” More like “Perkins, Perkins, wherefore art thou finite?” However, even I must admit that perhaps the joys from this Perkins transcend all finite goods. This Perkins glorifies God to a degree unknown by the ninth beatitude: blessed is this Perkins, for it shall have fluffy pancakes.
This is the most pulchritudinously pleasant Perkins possible, people! It is simply the most fantabulous and lovely establishment. This Perkins has my stamp of approval.
The eggs are made of such happy egg-ness. The chickens must have been very happy and listening to Abba’s Dancing Queen for how much the eggs make my heart dance. “If this store was a pizza, it would be a magnificent pizza” -Larkin, 2026
The prices are so unpricey! The pancakes were relatively cheap compared to other pancake places. Pleasant.
The atmosphere was somewhere near to something dear to me. Hear, hear!
“It’s extravagant!” -Peter, 2026
I fear I may transcend to the stratosphere. The food might be dangerous because of how fire it is. Genuinely slaps more than Boudon from “The Lily of Palestine” by Dale Ahlquist.
So good. So happy. The only saddening thing is needing to leave the establishment and be apart from the lovely food and the lovely manager, Tom.
Big slay. Big approve. Big plate of pancakes.

I had such a wonderful experience at Perkins! The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly, but what really made my visit stand out was my server, Holly. She was so kind, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I sat down. She checked in often without being overbearing and made sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to come across such genuine hospitality, and Holly truly went above and beyond to make my meal enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this location to friends and family!

This has genuinely been one of the greatest food experiences I have ever had. After coming to this restaurant I have decided that I will always love Perkins. This is an absolute pleasure of a restaurant and I absolutely recommend anyone and everyone to come and enjoy this food.

First of all, I’d like to bring attention to the marvelous food. It’s absolutely delectable, enjoyable, and perfect. Their bbq tangle burger, and their onion rings are nothing but sublime. The fries are some of the best and the country, and it’s absolutely amazing. The breakfast items are also amazing.

The pancakes are perfectly fluffy and sweet, each one a heavenly halo. The sausages and eggs that come with these delectable pancakes are similarly divine, and an absolute treasure of breakfast items.

The beverages are another favorite of mine. Their water is perfectly refreshing, quenching my thirst without a second sip. It’s marvelous. The lemonades and smoothies are all amazing and sweet, satiating my sweet tooth.

I’d also like to bring up the service. Everyone at this establishment is amazing and deserves everything good that comes to them. The servers were so kind and amazing and I’m astonished they put up with our giant table. Our drinks came out lightning fast, and our food came out similarly quickly. It’s absolutely amazing the quality of service they provide at this restaurant.

The atmosphere here is incredible. The restaurant is in pristine condition and absolutely beautiful, the tables clean and the floors are never dirty. I feel fancy eating at this restaurant it’s actually amazing. This place is incredible and I will always cherish it.

First off me and my group of good friends(plus Joshua lunneborg) were greeted by the friendly face of Tom at the front desk, he very efficiently and respectfully got the number of customers he would have to seat and got us a wonderfully peaceful table in the corner of the dining room away from the crowd and noise of the main seating area. Holly then came to our table and was immediately prepared to take our drinks for our order while also training in a new server, even while never slipping up with our order. After getting our order she very quickly brought our drinks out to us and made sure each one went to the proper recipient, and was then properly prepared to take all of our orders for food. After helpfully finding out who the first orderer was going to be, she took down every single order and side notes she had to to properly prepare our meals, while continuing to train in the new server. Once the one cookie that was ordered was prepared by the kitchen it was immediately brought out to our table, and then after a quick wait she brought out all of our warm food to the proper recipient without any added hassle. Even after the server in training brought out cocktail sauce in the stead of marinara sauce, she very helpfully and efficiently replaced it with the proper marinara sauce, all while keeping her cool and making jokes about it as to lighten the situation and maintain the fun and energetic mood of the meal. After enjoying the hot and fresh food our server holly came to check in on us and our meal, all while maintaining a very calm and serene manor around every customer she interacts with. Once we all finished our delicious meals she came back with an offer of delectable deserts to quench any our sweet tooth’s, and while it was incredibly enticing, we all collectively rejected the gracious offer. Meanwhile Tom was once again prepared with his friendly and welcoming hospitality to offer us all an opportunity to a free cookie, and even a wonderful possibility at a second free cookie. While we all took our time in an attempt to win the glorious reward Tom, holly, and the new trainee all came to our table a multitude of times in order to ensure a successful meal experience and continue their streak of wonderfully enjoyable hospitality. Even when I messed up my payment and accidentally canceled the order, there was no hesitation or hassle with assisting in the recovery of the payment, and a successful tip as well. After countless minutes of the most gracious, polite, and welcoming display of hospitality I’ve seen from any establishment such as this one in my entire 18 years of life, every employee involved in our meal and overall experience still maintained complete composure and respect to every single member of my party. With every warm meal and refreshing drink provided and no extra hassle of our own, I have no other option than then leave this restaurant with a full stomach and peaceful heart. My body and mind will rest peacefully for the foreseeable future with the best service and meal I could’ve ever dreamt up in the wildest creations of my deepest desires in life.
