Stick in town due to airline problems and this was walkable. I think I was the only one in the place. Overall not bad. Service and food was good. Had food coupons from Delta and they took them so it all worked out.

Perkins was always one of my favorite places to eat. We hadn’t been there in quite a few years so we decided to eat there on 1/7/2026 around 2:30 PM. There were only four customers seated so it wasn’t busy. After waiting about five minutes for someone to come out and greet us I finally dinged the bell. The host apologized and took us to a booth. The waitress promptly came and took our order. Our food was served within 15 minutes. While the food was good it wasn’t very hot. The waitress came by several times to see if everything was ok. The waitress never asked if we wanted dessert or brought our ticket so we got up to leave to find her visiting with someone. She gave us our ticket and once again we had to ring the bell for someone to come take our payment. I was disappointed with the uncleaniness. Looked like the floor hadn’t been cleaned in a while and no one ever did clear away the dishes from the tables of the other customers after they left. Don’t think we will be back to this location.

Our waitress was amazing. She was on her game and did not miss a beat. Very friendly, yet professional. The manager was helping clean tables while making sure the restaurant ran smoothly and customers were happy. I highly recommend it for a wonderful dining experience!

Food was excellent! Had a special- burger ,fries, pie- cooked to perfection! Service wasn’t as fast as I’d like, but only 1 staff for diners. What I assume was the manager or shift manager was very helpful.

Went to Perkins on Saturday the 25th and even though they were busy we were greeted right away by someone named Ron and our name put on a list for a short wait. We were then seated and our server Kristina came to get our drink order and take our food order. There were lots of food options as currently they have 3 menus to take a look at (WOW) so super excited that everyone has something they could eat. Did you know they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner all day? For us that’s a win, win!! I had the Strawberry Flips lord have mercy those things are fabulous my husband had a Everything Omelet that he asked to be made into a skillet and they accommodated him with no question that made his whole day. (They use to have a skillet called that and he loved it!) Kristina made sure our drinks stayed full and even offered us Donuts (who knew they had donuts at Perkins) and muffins to take home we were way to full this time but for sure next time. Just want to say for as busy as they were the restaurant was clean, bathroom was clean and staff was super nice! If you have never been to a Perkins or haven’t been to this location lately stop in you won’t be disappointed we sure weren’t! Thank you Perkins for a great start to our day!

During a very busy Sunday morning, we were seated after a very short wait, our waitress took our order right away, and we received our food quicker than expected. Delicious breakfast at a very reasonable price. The manager on shift kept things running smoothly by seating customers, helping at the register and was very friendly. Our waitress was great also!

I know this is a chain restaurant, but we like this location’s proximity to the airport. They have good tasting food for and the staff here is super friendly. Nice cleans washrooms, too. Don’t have room for a dessert, take home a whole pie.

Came in thanksgiving morning, got seated right away, ordered biscuits and gravy and a breakfast bowl, while waiting I overheard a different server give a customer attitude. As she walked past me she mumbled something, after near 40 minutes our food came out, was cold like it had been sitting for awhile, my gravy had a film and was not running at all. The tatortots in the bowl were cold everything was cold. It was very busy yes, but i saw our server run back into the kitchen multiple times and the people who were seated after us left before we even got our food. We got up and left, wont be coming back.

I enjoyed the waiter great sense of humor made us laugh, I loved my waffle….. And bacon and chocolate milk egg was okay…too. I had to get it remade and had to settle for scrambled, because I have to have my eggs fully cooked and not runny. My babe loved the silk cake he literally enjoyed every bite of it, but he says it’s like an ihop to him which is true it is like that, but I still loved my waffle and I love the fact that I can go at anytime and its still open. Anything that’s open 24hrs I have nothing, but respect for it I love 24hr places.
