Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

If i could give this place 0 stars i would. I really liked this place until I got food poisoning from eating a simple chicken tender meal. Service was shitty as well. It was the worst two days of my life. I will NEVER eat here again.

Traveling through PA and stopped here for a meal. We are vegan and the menu was a little light for options but our server Michael worked with the kitchen staff to make a great dish for us. Great fresh vegetables here for sure!

I eat at this location often, and usually I’m more impressed with the quality of the food. It’s unfortunate that the day I decide to write a review for it, I had a mildly lackluster experience. I enjoy coming to Perkins because they have such a variety of food, and I’m always able to find something to suit my mood. It’s always been a good fail-​safe restaurant for me when I can’t decide what I want to eat.
Every time I come in, they seem to have a menu of «New» items that differs from my last visit– impressive how quickly they rotate through their menu choices, for the most part. I saw this new dish– The Ragin Cajun Pasta– that was right up my alley. The menu described it as «Cajun-​seasoned medley of smoked sausage, shrimp and chicken, grilled together with green peppers and onions. Tossed with a spicy creole sauce and served over thin spaghetti.» Jackpot! This was my culinary choice for the day… I was excited! That is until I got the meal.
I understand that there is a certain expectation for food to differ from it’s advertised picture slightly… but what I got looked absolutely NOTHING like what was advertised. The picture in the menu was a glamour shot of mounds of chicken, sausage, shrimp and succulent pasta sauce, spread in abundance over a bed of pasta. What I got was more like a dried heap of left-​over spaghetti, barely enough for a serving, sprinkled with a few pieces of protein, covered in a small splash of sauce. I was so disappointed– not only was the portion smaller than to be expected, the presentation was garbage. Presentation goes a long way for me. You can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich look good if you put a LITTLE effort into it. It was readily apparent that the «chef» probably threw this on the plate from 50 yards away.
Oh well… I still give this place three stars for this particular visit. Why? Because all in all… the Ragin Cajun Pasta WAS absolutely delicious, despite it’s incredibly flawed appearance when first brought out to me. I guess it’s as they say… don’t judge a book by it’s cover. It was flavorful, the meat surprisingly juicy, and at the end of the night, I WAS full after eating it. So the situation was salvaged.
I WILL be coming back here, because the staff is absolutely excellent, and I have had far too many great experiences here in the past to let the little bit of dismay from tonight ward me off. I do recommend this place– just be advised that it can be hit or miss!

What you’d expect. Food was fine, the chirizo is a little different, wouldn’t recommend it but edible. The kitchen is a little loud, as was the waitress who sat with a regular and talked loud enough we all knew how her weekend was. I’m not real okay with that whole waitress/​waiter sitting and chatting with customer thing. Oh, and if you are staying at Days Inn, tell them — you get 10% off, but they don’t tell you. We went twice in 2 days and I didn’t tell the same girl and she didn’t ask or remind, so no discount second day (I forgot :().

Went here for breakfast, only place open at 6am. Waitress (Suzanne) greeted us immediately. Very friendly and great service. Food was very good and the wait was less than 10min. I had the Mediterranean omelette. Coffee fresh and good. Booths are a bit worn out, but everything was clean. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I took our 16 month old here tonight and the costumer service was excellent! Our son has a severe peanut allergy and all of the staff were very accommodating to us. The manager, Michael Ferguson, exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond in easing our fears of cross contamination. I believe that we may have found our new weekend breakfast-​dinner spot!
Note: The deep fryer oil definitely needed changed though. The hash browns had that funky taste to them. Still a 5 star for service!

Ok. So this is THE ONLY restaurant that I know of that stay open during the Blizzard of 2016. The employees stayed over night at one of the local hotels to keep this place open. You might need to put more sugar than you want in the coffee but to me I don’t care. The customer service is astounding here.
Thank you for feeding me during the storm!

I have never eaten at Perkins. It while driving around on New Year’s Day we got hungry and stopped in. The bacon jam is incredible you have to try it ! Family dining good prices and our waitress Quan Quan was friendly and well informed. #robsreviews

We ate here for breakfast while in Gettysburg. We needed more substantial fare than offered at the hotel (included in the price). We had a long day of battlefield touring ahead of us and wanted some stick-​to-​your-​ribs food. Just down the driveway from the hotel. Within walking distance but it was raining. Yes it’s industrial food and a chain, but you do what you gotta do. Reasonable prices. accommodating staff. Visitors and locals alike were in the place. Clean facility, good service.

Not sure why the negative reviews. Solid 3.5 stars. We ate there for breakfast. Generous with the coffee. Food was very good as well. Solid breakfast place. We had no complaints.

Chicken in the southwest avocado salad was not fresh and tasted plain with no seasoning. Avocados where over ripe and brownish. The corn and beans in the salad came out cold. The turkey club was not trimmed and was fatty around the edges. I didn’t get many fries, and I asked for a little more turkey and it came out the same amount as normal meat, I was charged 4 $ extra for normal portion. The thousand island I had tasted mostly of mayo. The Perkins in hanover always has great food, but never again will I return to the Gettysburg one, And If you want better food hoss’s is right up the street. McDonald’s even has better food, and that’s a shame to say. Also my waitress was very nice and kind, but only checked in 2 times and once for the bill, I never got my refill of water. Find it really funny that they weren’t even busy at all but the waitress was busy some how waiting on 2 tables. Please, if you are in the area or on vacation, eat some where else. Thank you

Family enjoyed our breakfast. Coffee was fresh and plentiful. Eggs were cooked properly. Good pancakes with a few syrup choices. Waitress was friendly and attentive.

Ants, ants, ants and more ants… Can’t tell you about the food because we moved twice and there were ants at each stop!!! Honestly, if they couldn’t find a table without ants, just think about the food prep area

It’s a cold, snowy day in Gettysburg. Staying in the super 8 next door, we decided to head over to Perkins. I’ve been to a few Perkins before so I knew what to expect. Perkins is a cross between Applebee’s and bob Evans. They kinda have some country meals but you can still get a burger or some tenders.
I’m very impressed how they are keeping the walk ways and lot cleared as best as possible in a snow storm. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Waitress was prompt to offer drinks. I had a delicious turkey and mash potatoes. Food came quickly and was worth the affordable prices.
They have a list of nice deserts. Took a brownie home with us and was thanked for our business as we exited. I was overall happy with the entire experience. However, there was one small issue. The bathroom smelled like death. Someone must have ate a combination on chili and tacos and then decided to take it out on the Perkins bathroom. No fans were running and there were no sprays. It was hard to think about my meal after I smelled a rotting man prostate.
But hey, this location is a good place to eat.

Wow, I had no idea this was a near national chain as New England is one of the only areas of the country that doesn’t have them. The 6 am to midnight hours were great as I was staying right beside it in the Days Inn and would do anything to avoid disgusting continental breakfasts.
A stuffed buffalo chicken wrap with sides and two enormous muffins for $ 10 was awesome and really good quality for a chain. I wish we had a few in New England. It’d be a great place in you’re around early or up late.

Slow service, mediocre food, decent prices, fairly unpleasant staff.
I just wanted a simple breakfast before getting back on the road. So I got a Belgian waffle, scrambled eggs, and bacon. The waffle was alright. It was exactly what you would expect from a chain restaurant. The bacon was over cooked. I only took a bite or two before deciding it wasn’t worth it. The scrambled eggs were awful, even adding salt and pepper to them (which I find usually makes chain restaurant eggs tolerable) didn’t help. I barely touched them despite being starving. The food would be permissible for a place like this if the service was good, but it wasn’t. The hostesses were rude. The waitress really only visited our table to take our order. It too over half an hour for us to get our food. Sadly this was the only place nearby that we thought we could get breakfast quickly before getting back on the road, but even that was wrong.
I only stopped here because we needed somewhere to get breakfast before we were out on the road for the day. I would only stop back for the same reason.

Typical Perkins fare. We stopped for breakfast which was good. Server forgot fruit with my son’s rainbow pancakes. Bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner omelet was filling; too much butter on toast. So only 3 stars

finally able to find a restaurant which makes their pancakes from scratch rather than from a box… their pancakes are real small or if you are hungry get the tall stack… they are good, not wow, but good… the chicken and cheese quesadillas were also good not wow but good. Good prices on some items high on others… the wait staff are really nice… it is a chain restaurant so do not expect much… alright food but not wow

A fairly inexpensive restaurant that serves breakfast all day. Actually, based on what I saw, that is all you should get. At one side of my table was a wilted salad, a tuna «melt» with two slices of cheese (specifically asked to not be American, and one was) and a run of the mill side of rice. On the other was a superb Mediterranean omelet topped with hollandaise sauce with sides of fluffy pancakes real maple syrup and crispy hashbrowns.
breakfast certainly won in that round.
Our wait staff consisted of a friendly teen age waitress who struggled, though successfully, to keep her patience with the elderly couple across from us who proceeded to ask questions clearly answered in the menu.
Pay at the cashier on the way out when you get your bill.
You won’t have daydreams about your meal here, but it is that comfortable diner feel and as long as you stick with breakfast items, you should be pretty happy.

Terrible! In an almost empty restaurant on a Saturday night the table wasn’t cleaned until after we were seated and our meal took way too long to come out.
The Mac and cheese and rice medley had the consistency of reheated leftovers. The fries were nothing special. Salmon was dry and couldn’t taste the seasoning. The iced tea and salad were good. Service was friendly and quick.
To top things off the bathroom locks don’t work and there were many areas in need of repair. Even the comment box was broken.
