We’ve been here twice, about 2 months apart. Both times the staff were very friendly and efficient, quick service. Food was really good, too, except the omelets this time which were undercooked. Both times though, the restaurant is probably the dirtiest we have ever been to and filthy everywhere you look except the tops of tables. Floors and corners and edges and under tables, SO dirty. Window sills, disgusting. Inside the bakery display cabinet around the pies and muffins – dirty! And the ladies bathroom has a horrid sewer smell that will make you lose your appetite – or lose what you just ate. We were forgiving the first time we went because it was Christmas time and we thought it might be from the rush of the Holiday season and could tell the night we were there they were understaffed. This second time though, if anything, it got dirtier yet triple the employees from the first time. So we know now it was not a fluke and unfortunately there will not be a 3rd visit from us to this location. Just, YUCK.

It was a nice atmosphere and quiet. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Our server was awesome! We had the fried pickles, onion rings and mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and they were really good! The salmon was delicious as well as the baked potato soup and country fried steak. Very good food and nice and hot. We really enjoyed our meals. Thanks!

I have since returned to Perkins after our visit that was bad, and I want to say thank you to Jenny Lee. She was our server on our last visit and she was amazing. She was very attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to serve us. She makes you feel like you are her only customers. Thank you Jenny Lee for such an enjoyable experience.

We have been coming to Perkins in St Joseph since the 1980’s. We were told tonight that they could not brew anymore coffee because it was a waste. This was at 9:45pm. They still had 1 hour and 15 minutes before close. Football games were just getting over and there is usually a good group of people that come in.
In the 40+ years we’ve been coming we have never been told they couldn’t brew more coffee at night, in fact last week we came at the same time and we had to wait for more coffee to be brewed fresh.
You’ve been doing away with all your promotions that entice people to come, but we continue to come because we enjoy your menu and food. However this may have been our last visit there. Not that it matters to your corporation, but it’s sad to know the customer service we used to get and now it’s a bother for your servers to put any effort into their job. If, in fact, not making coffee after you run out on the night shift is your policy I would suggest you rethink this.

Just your usual American breakfast and sandwich meal. I have eaten somewhere better, thus no extraordinary varieties except for their handcrafted handpies which you should try for a change.
I just hope that stinky corner would be resolved the soonest possible. Attention to the management for its quick resolution ‘coz it ruins the appetite of the diners.

Don’t even want to leave 1 star.
We have visited twice in the last 2 weeks. The first time we got seated, and no one came for at least 15 mins to take our drink orders. Then we were told that it would be at least 40 minutes for our food because there was only 1 cook. We left.
We returned a week later to try again as we wanted to try the burger, fries and pie special. When we arrived there was a large party of about 20 people who were there for a bible study… they had already been served and were completely done, plates cleared and everything.
We were the ONLY other people in the entire restaurant. We ordered and then we waited and waited and waited for a total of 1 hour and 5 minutes for our food. We had empty drinks, and then had our dessert (slices of pie) brought to us 20 mins before our meal when we didn’t ask for it. So by the time we finished our meal and ate our dessert it was warm.
We also had to hunt down our waitress because she just disappeared and was not updating us on what was going on with our food.
Waitresses name was Olivia K.
We really don’t want to not choose Perkins as a place to dine, but after these experiences I think we are forced to.
Both times were in the evening around 7.

Love the $10.99 cheeseburger special at the St Joseph, Mo location! A great cheeseburger, fries, and a slice of Perkins famous pie. It’s just like broken drum; you can’t beat it. And, well trained, pleasant staff.

I had a fabulous experience at Perkins. Late stop, enjoyed Breakfast (two fried eggs, two sausage, breakfast potatoes, and 3 pancakes. Everything came out very quickly, made as I ordered, and tasted delicious. The waitress was incredibly sweet, helpful, patient, and warm.
Wonderful customer experience.

I am a long time Perkins patron. The St. Joe Perkins is hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had at a Perkins and one of the worst dining experiences ever. We’ve had two bad experiences. Overcooked, dried out breakfast one time. And last weekend we had a fairly expensive fish and shrimp dinner. The shrimp was tiny, tough, dried out, seemed reheated, the fish was small and the asparagus was fried soft and frozen in the middle. Obviously reheated. We will never, ever go back. I have eaten here dozens of times over the years, but it is no longer the same restaurant.

Everything gets a 1 star because of your racist staff. I don’t know her name because I didn’t personally deal with her this time, but you have an older woman with long hair in a pony tail and wearing glasses who was completely rude and racist to someone picking up a catering order on behalf of a PAYING CUSTOMER this morning (10/15/2025 7:30 am). The delivery girl was Spanish speaking, but gave the customers name (Ed something) and even showed the employee her phone so she could see the name for herself as well as pulled up a translator and had the employee read that through this entire interaction. The employee still repeatedly told her “I don’t speak Spanish, I’m going to need it all in English” and then proceeded to ask this driver to tell her in English “every item in the order.” I am a bilingual dasher. I pick up normal orders and catering orders often and have dealt with this specific woman myself on more than one occasion and each time, she has been pleasant. She has NEVER asked me what the items in any order were. She has never made me show my phone screen. She has never given me a hard time. I am also WHITE. She then shoved a white paper in this drivers face getting louder saying “IS THAT IT!?!?!” As the driver repeatedly said “Yes.” I received the order I was there to pick up and then left the store…while this other driver was NOT given her order. She was sent outside of the store attempting to reach someone from her delivery platform about this interaction as well. I will never bring my family to this restaurant nor will I ever encourage anyone to eat here or order from here simply for watching this unfold. I don’t believe in racism and simply won’t tolerate it as a customer or as a delivery driver there ON BEHALF OF A PAYING CUSTOMER. I will also be reporting this to doordash in case the catering order was through them so they know how their driver was treated by this staff as well.

I come on mondays wednesdays and Saturdays. My usual server is Salem, she always knows what we want to drink and we never have to ask for anything. She’s super friendly and really great at her job.
