I waited for several minutes to be seated both Monday and Tuesday evenings at around 930 pm. No one came around and I got tired of waiting and left. I have been a regular for many years and this upsets me to no end. When Joe was there, I never had to wait. He was always there to seat me and bring me a menu and drink. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS PERKINS???? Please look into this and if this continues, I will never come in again !! One more try. That's all!!!

Should have looked at reviews before coming here. It took quite a long time to be seated. There were 4 waitresses milling around and not many tables at all. Maybe 3? Once we finally got seated, our waitress let us know she'd come take our drink order after she put in another tables order. So a few minutes go by and she's still not back. Another waitress stops by and takes it. A few minutes later original one comes back. My husband informed her that someone already took our drink order but we were ready to order food. She takes our food order. About thirty minutes go by and food still isn't out for any of the 3 tables she was waiting on. Husband asks how much longer and she said they were plating them now. Maybe 5 minutes later she comes back saying something about all the tickers being messed up and they were trying to figure out what food went to who? A couple more minutes go by and she brings out my husband and daughter's food. Says they were putting together by burger and it'd be out shortly. 10 minutes Maybe go by. Not sure at this point but my husband and daughter were just finishing their food. She comes by and says she doesn't know what's going on. But she'd go check. Getting irritated I told her we needed to get going to go pick up our babies from my parents. A couple minutes later my meals finally came out. Another waitress. Assuming she was a manager or shift supervisor told us she'd give us a discount on my meal... needless to say probably won't be returning to this location.

Waited FOREVER. Service was okay if you’re fine waiting 45 minutes to have your order taken. Food took even longer yet, was delicious tho. Overall semi unpleasant experience, didn’t help that RFK Jr was in the booth next to us. Would appreciate if you would also actually put 2 dollars worth of cheese on my eggs if you’re gonna charge me for it. Bathroom is also an icebox. Overall get it together.

Might want to avoid this place for a bit to see if they get their issues figured out, unless you have 2 hours to spend without coffee or water waiting to be told you don’t matter. Details …
Seated at 10:05am today. No request for drinks on seating. Order taken at 10:20am (I have the order ticket). Coffee and water received at 10:30am. Coffee emptied, water gone by 10:50am. No sight of waitress or food.
At 11:05am we called out our waitress as she was running by our table, asked if our food would was ready. We had time commitments elsewhere in the next 25 minutes. Her response; “Well all I can do is take the order. I can’t cook the food.”
I suggested we would need to leave, willing to pay for our scant coffee and water, if our food wasn’t ready. Our food was tabled at 11:15am, we ate it as fast as we could. The food met expectations for Perkins. Good. Not great.
This is our go to neighborhood breakfast place. Been there every 4-6 weeks for the past 15 years, not every time perfect but every time miles ahead of the service we received today.
