Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

I’ve been to many Perkins restaurants in my life, this one stands out as one of the best. Great food and service.

This Perkin’s is the most friendly one I have been to. We are always greeted with smiles, and kids are truly welcomed. I have never been a «regular» until now. It is the friendly atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

Sad to leave Minnesota for Arizona where we don’t have Perkins. Enjoyed many meals here these past three months and look forward to more at Christmas when we return. This location is still the best!

Nice location, cute landscaping, however the customer service was extremely poor. They may have been understaffed but there was no apology about it and when my wife wanted to bring it up to the ‘senior’ staff person (old lady) she got really snotty and said ‘look, I can take 50% percent off your tab.’ But that wasn’t the point, my wife who is in retail, merely wanted to let her know that the service was poor, slow, things were forgotten repeatedly, but the lady interrupted, ‘well I can pick up the whole tab’ not getting the point, my wife merely wanted to be heard. I told the lady, ‘yes, that will be fine.’ Perkins Corporate will still be hearing from us, because I didn’t order sarcasm with my meal.

The wait time to be seated was awful… we stood at the front entrance for like 15 minutes while one older lady slowly rang up a long line with their bills. However, once we were finally sat our waitress was great, she was very quick and consistently came back to check on us.
The food was also great, I had eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato instead of the ham.
Overall good experience, they just need to work on staffing.

Typical Perkins restaurant, from the décor to the menu. It’s an old reliable place to find yourself a decent breakfast at a decent price. The wait staff here is pretty average, but not anything to complain about.
My only complaint was the amount of time it took to get our orders; pushing 30 minutes from the time we placed them. However, it was Memorial Day at 11 and many other local restaurants were closed or stopped serving breakfast by that time. I had a little too much fun yesterday, so I had a ravenous appetite and need for eggs and bakey ASAP. The place was packed, but the wait to be seated was only 10 minutes.
I had the Hearty Man’s Combo ($ 10), which consists of 2 eggs, smoked sausage, 2 applewood smoked bacon strips and 2 sausage links with choice of smash browns, breakfast potatoes, tots, or fruit and choice of 3 pancakes, muffin, toast or 2 biscuits. I went with the over easy eggs, smash browns and pancakes on the optional choices.
The smash browns are just smushed tater tots. The waiter warned me that they had onions in them, and that people that don’t like onions tend to be put off by the extra onion flavor, but there were no onions to be tasted or seen. Bummer, since I love onions and they were pretty bland otherwise. The rest of it was tasty and hit the spot. Too many pancakes, in my opinion, but what I could finish of them were delicious. Washed it all down with a pot of coffee, which helped kill the crummy feeling I had when I walked in the doors.
I’m in no hurry to go back, but it’s a good plan B or C and a reliable place where I know it will always be consistent food quality. That’s Perkins to me.

I’ve been to this location many times for breakfast and I’ve always enjoyed it. Weekends after 10:30 there will probably be a wait, but it’s a decent sized place so the wait typically isn’t too bad. The food is pretty standard at a reasonable price. They often have coupons so I’d advise to check your mail before going to save a couple dollars.
They’re open ²⁴⁄₇ and at night they have half priced apps, half off pie, and all you can eat pancakes for a reasonable price.

We love this Perkins! The staff is always very helpful. They just remodeled, so everything looks great! Free meals and balloons every Saturday night for the kids make it a fun way to spend a weekend evening with the family.

Nice and warm restaurant in which to eat when the air temperature outside is negative 10°. We were very pleased to be warm and toasty while we were eating.
Great selection. 3 different menus. Had a tough time choosing my meal. I ended up going with the breakfast burrito. It was quite tasty and was a pretty good deal. Although, it would have been even better with a little more salsa and sour cream.
Tuesdays the kids eat free… but apparently that is only if the 2 year old in your group doesn’t polish off an entire adult meal.
I went with the pumpkin muffin with dipping sauce for dessert… although I may save it for breakfast. I’ll let you know how it tastes.

Raw eggs people. Not slightly undercooked but raw. Told the waitress who was super nice. She told her manager who came to our table but never mentioned the eggs at all. Pretended like nothing was wrong. The waitress came back and asked if her manager took care of it. I told her she didn’t. She said the other manager Lisa also looked at the eggs sent back. and she would tell her to come by and take care of it. No one came by or said a word. Not acceptable. Even for Perkins. Picture of said eggs posted.

Sub par terrible food, even by Perkins standards. Service was OK but still fake and boring. Will not go back again even for the new «rewards» program.
The hash browns tasted like they were grilled in fish oil. The three pancakes were hard to cut through.
The plates were super hot, however the food was warm at best, while we’re on the topic of plates too, they served the omelette and hash browns on a super huge plate and the pancakes on another plate that was just right. This had the effect of making me think that I was being over charged. The omelette was passable, only because the poured it out of a carton, more than likely.
The waitress was not the worst ever. I certainly never expect to have to take a plate from the server, and she handed me my food. This doesn’t seem right. She was also a trainer there and seemed more interested in going by the book than my actual experience. She barely stopped by the table when asking after the first bites with the obligatory «how is everything?»
It’s easy to see why Perkins and Marie Calendar’s are failing. I remember this perkins being one of the best late night stops around the cities. I didn’t realize I had that much to drink.
Do yourself a favor and go to The Kopper Kettle if it’s breakfast or Lunch you’re looking for.

Ask for the single breakfast menu. The prices are better. I love the coffee pots on the table. This morning we moved from table to table til we found our perfect spot out of the sun and not to close to the kitchen. The wait staff smiled. Prompt water toppers which is important for the morning vitamin taker people.
