This non assuming restaurant is located in a strip mall. The breakfast I ordered was delicious. The eggs were exactly as ordered, the sausage patty was flavorful but likely frozen from a box. The bacon was crispy and delightfully great tasting. Normally the coffee in a diner is the “usual” however I could detect a light nutty flavor. My cup was never empty. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quick breakfast with reasonable portions.

Good food, great staff. Got there right at opening at 7am, me and the regulars. 1/2 order of biscuits and sausage gravy w/ scrambled eggs and a cup of Americano coffee. Very reasonable prices.

We stopped here on our way out of the Des Moines area just looking for breakfast and I was surprised with how good the food was. The service was great as well. I woukd highly recommend this place of you’re in the area and looking for a good breakfast. I will definitely stop back by the next time I’m in Des Moines.

This unassuming restaurant serves the most amazing breakfast I have had in a very long time. As you can see they have a very extensive menu with lots of great dishes. I asked the waitress what they are known for or what she recommends. She quickly pointed us to the biscuits and gravy and french toast. Everything we ordered was hot and delicious and seasoned perfectly. I do want to call out that they have the best hash browns I have ever had! They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just amazing. We are planning another trip back again soon but this time we want to try their lunch options.

We stopped here for a fun breakfast on our way exploring around town. The food was delicious. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the buttermilk biscuit was a delightful treat. There are lots of coffee options and plenty of tasty baked goods. The real winners of the meal were the homemade pineapple jam which was divine! Be sure to get some of this stuff or you are missing out. The revenge sauce on the croissant sandwich was also absolutely delectable with a hint of spicy and a ton of creaminess. The service was very attentive and friendly. If we are back in this area we will definitely visit again.

I had fond memories of eating at this mom & pop shop several times pre-COVID. Six of us went there for breakfast on a Monday. Our waitress was on the ball, refreshing our drinks and clarifying questions regarding some menu items. This we appreciated. Our food was served in a reasonable amount of time. My meal was prepared as requested. However, it just wasn’t as tasty as I remembered. One in our party ordered susage links and pancakes. The links must have been heat & serve instead of fresh cooked. Additionally, the pancakes tasted as if they were previously frozen and heated in a microwave. Needless to say this was a disappointing experience. Sadly, the overall quality of the food was mediocre, nothing like it used to be. For this reason I cannot recommend Perkup.

We visited PerKup Cafe on a Saturday morning around 8:30. It was fairly busy but not out of hand. There was a wait when we left around 9:15. A little girl sat us which was really cool and shows the true meaning of a family owned restaurant. The food was awesome, with highlights being the revenge sauce and apple cinnamon French toast. They had a very intriguing hash brown taco as well. They also have a full coffee bar to serve lattes and specialty drinks which was a great change of pace. We had never been before today, but will definitely be returning!
