Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

Had a bad dinner at another establishment so decided to skip dessert and come in for some pie. Not only did we have great pie and an amazing cup of coffee but we also had tremendous service from Derrick. He was attentive and made sure we had plenty of coffee and water. He mentioned that they had some special chocolate coffee creamers and brought them out to us. He even offered to-​go cups of coffee when we left. Thanks for turning our night around! Next time we will have dinner too!

Always the place to meet up with family. It’s such a warming place to have a meal. The food always tastes great ! Super friendly staff too!

Little slow getting in. Getting food was about 20 mins and that was just the kids meals then another 10 for the rest of the plates. Mac and cheese for one child was defiantly from the box. And the blueberry in the pancakes were from frozen. All food was warm not hot when we got it. Service could have been better wait times shorter and just a little bit friendlier.

Typical Perkins food, which is not 5 star quality (it’s a huge chain for those who don’t know). However, this location is incredibly clean and the service is what really stood out to me. Our server was 5 star– there when we needed him, not rushing us when we just wanted time to sit and talk. The table next to us had a woman with cancer who needed her toast extremely soft. The patient server apologized when the first round of toast came out too hard and the manager brought out the second try. He talked to her for a good 5 minutes, listening to her story and exchanging a personal story of his own. On our other side was a table of 7 or 8 with two younger kids. Again, the patient server waited on their every need– from more napkins, to extra sauce to an extra fork when one was dropped. One person in their party apologized for keeping him so busy to which he replied «it keeps my night moving faster» with a smile. I know this isn’t 5 star food, but when you have service at an establishment like this you have to give credit where it is due. Hats off to the manager on your excellent employees and great location. We will be back!

Stopped here for breakfast on the way back from the beach. Didn’t have any expectations as I’m not familiar with this restaurant chain. Obliviously business is good because the place was packed but we were seated after a short wait. The lobby area could use some work though… very little seating and people standing around awkwardly… hard to tell who has their name in or who is in line for the register etc…
Menu was plentiful, actually a little too many options. Some dishes seemed to be repeats with just minor changes. The prices I felt were high compared to other places we’ve been. But with that being said the food came out fast, although it didn’t look as good as in the menu, it was tasty. A selection of 3 different syrups were presented o us which I liked and our service was fast/​friendly.
A bit of confusion at the end of our meal when we were presented with our bill. A restaurant of this size/​service should have waitress service take the check but instead you go back out to the lobby to wait in line to pay the bill. I expect that from a diner but not a full service restaurant, just a pet peeve of mine I guess.
Overall ok experience, not great but not horrible. Spent more then we cared to but in that area options are limited.

It’s been a long time since I’ve stepped into a Perkins restaurant. I think the last time was back when I was a teen many years ago on a family vacation in PA. It was good then, and it’s good now.
I stopped in with the family yesterday for semi breakfast/​lunch. It was about 2 in the afternoon but none of had eaten yet so the majority of us sitting at the table had breakfast. The only stray was Mom having a sandwich called the Super BLT. I had a Corned Beef Hash breakfast combo, my brother had a Chicken & Gravy breakfast combo and my nephew had chocolate chip pancakes.
They were on the down side of the lunch rush and still had a fairly full dining room. Our server was very friendly and took care of our drinks while waiting for us to make up our minds. She was also very attentive and cheerful throughout the visit. Food order to serving time was also quicker than expected. They really did a good job.
My meal was delicious and I didn’t hear any complaints from the rest of the table. Portions were excellent and every plate was empty. I’m looking forward to stopping in again during a future trip up here to PA.

This Perkins is on northbound Route 41, just to the north of Avondale. The restaurant did get very busy on the weekend morning when I was there, but I thought they handled the crowd pretty well and had everyone seated in a timely manner. The food is typical diner-​like food, similar to Denny’s and IHOP. Service was good and the restaurant interior did appear to be kept in fairly good condition.

Came here on 11÷12÷11 with my bff and god daughter. Typical family style restaurant set up… in the middle of the «Sticks». Of course the baked goods are on showcase as soon as you walk in setting your tastebuds up for something sweet. MY goddaughter who is 5 yrs old LOVES this place, so of course, as a cooperative godmommie I am, we had to go to her favorite place. They sell breakfast all day. She got the rainbow pancakes (pancakes with sprinkles on them). My bff got french toast and I ordered a chicken sandwich with swiss cheese and bacon (which I actually do not eat) but there were NO substitutes…:-(the meal came with fries as well. I asked for everything besides the lettuce to be left off the sandwich… but there were pickles on it when I got it. I was a bit disappointed as the chicken was grilled and I wanted it crispy and it wasnt a fillet… it was a few grilled chicken strips in a toasted hamburger bun… kind of not what I thought I read on the menu. Needless to say, I was SO hungry, I had to eat it. The waitress was REALLY sweet. Again, very family oriented place. Lotsa families. Prices werent too bad. My goddaughters pancakes were kind of cold. :-(I did pick up a sample on the way on of the pumpkin crème pie. I ordered a piece of apple caramel pie to go. When it was time to go, our waitress virtually disappeared which made it hard for me to FIND her to tip her. The older woman with the big blonde hair seemed a lil «standoffish» (not sure if she did not like people of color… or people at all) she was NOT friendly or personable. I mean, I would like to see the same SERVICE carried out when I PAY for my meal. Sorry, just not happy with her. Otherwise, nothing special to write home about. Simple food– Denny’s might be better (without the negative racial connotations attached)
Cannot say I would return. Next time we will go to another area restaurant.
