★★★★★ 5.0 Jason Everett · Feb 2026

I have not seen a Perkins location that is as busy and great as this one. It’s clearly a local favorite. There’s commonly a wait in the morning on weekends, but it usually moves pretty quickly. The staff is friendly and professional, and the service has always been attentive and fast in my experience. I ordered chipped beef and scrapple off the menu, which I’m told is only offered in the tri-state area, and it was excellent.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sabrina Griffith · Feb 2026

Our server was Heather and she was so kind and welcoming! We’ve had her as our server a few times and she’s always amazing! Food is always nice . Your review asked about atmosphere, it’s definitely dated . Booth seats are very uncomfortable. It’s definitely catering to a much older audience. Thank you for offering the app for extra value Heather and thank you for offering us the opportunity to leave a review!

★★★★★ 5.0 Nighttime Guy · Mar 2026

Courtney is our server most of the time. She is always nice and pleasant each and every time. We always enjoy seeing her and her service is always top notch. Food is always great and we will continue to come back again and again. One of the best for breakfast.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeffrey McKenney · May 2024

Dave, the manager, greeted me as soon as I entered the door, seated me, and promptly my waitress Mariko was friendly and attentive. The food was well prepared and excellent. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual, and the customers were multi-cultural. Good decent people. It's my favorite place to dine!

★★★★★ 5.0 Eunice Perez · Oct 2025

Brunch was excellent! No waiting, my friend and I were able to have conversation, the food came faster than I expected and was delicious! 😋 Danielle was friendly, efficient and eager to help. She checked on us often and got us whatever we needed in a timely manner. I will definitely be going back to Perkins, sooner rather than later! 😃
