★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Longenbaker · Feb 2026

Our server Emelee does a super good job taking care of her customers! Food, atmosphere and the cleanliness is excellent. Prices are reasonable and the menus is wide and long! Try the "triple choice".

Nice to find a Perkins on the road as a trucker. Food was good, reasonably priced, although the French silk pie slice was about the size of a postage stamp, lol. Good thing I got two. Steven’s service was excellent!

Outstanding in Every Way!! I was on my way to Middle Tennessee during a very long trip to and from seeing my Mother after she broke her hip on the ice the week before. I was absolutely exhausted, frazzled and worried coming home and it was late when I Finally made myself pull over to fuel and eat. I basically staggered through the door. I was greeted so warmly by Kevin the manager Before I realized I was still in the EST time zone, very close to closing time. I noted the time and asked if they were still serving. Kevin said Most certainly and not to worry about it they'd be closing but I'd have plenty of time. He seated me with Jennifer. She was absolutely lovely as well she was kind and also let me know Not to rush. The other server whose name I didn't get brought me my drink while Jennif

We drive from 40 minutes just to eat here. The best friendly service and the menu has the best variety out of any restaurant. Fish, hamburgers, breakfast, turkey and stuffing. A little bit of everything. Wish we had one in Knox!! Prices are so reasonable. The pies are amazing.

It aint fine dining but its true honest American food. The service is always really good and you feel cared for. I usually go for dinner but the build your own breakfast was so good last week it may be my new favorite. A great grilled ham and really solid pancakes. Also love that kids meals come with a cookie...
