★★★★★ 5.0 Sara Abbott · Dec 2025

I had a very positive experience at this location! The turkey was delicious and a huge portion as well! The French silk pie was the perfect choice for my dessert! My server was very friendly and attentive. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The restaurant was also very clean and tidy and the restrooms were also very well kept! Great job Perkins! You now have a new regular customer

★★★★★ 5.0 Aminaa B · Oct 2025

The food here is fresh, delicious, and great value! The classic American breakfast. Their bakery items are pretty good as well.

Kiara greeted us, seated us, and gave us some of the best customer service we’ve ever had at Perkins. She was very kind, attentive, and helpful with whatever we needed. She checked on us throughout the meal, kept our drinks refilled, and made sure our food came out exactly how we ordered. Even when the restaurant got busy, she maintained a positive attitude and stayed professional. You can tell she genuinely cares about her job and the customers. Because of her service, we would definitely return.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gabriel Carter · Feb 2026

Had Kris for a server. He provided excellent service especially during breakfast rush. The food wasn't bad, but I did ask for overhard eggs came out overmedium but otherwise the food was good. The atmosphere and the outside of the building needs a lot of work done. On the outside there are peices of siding hanging off and falling off the building. In the inside there are quite a bit of patch work and cracks on the wall and water stains on the ceiling. Place is due for a remodel/revamp.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sam Watson · Dec 2025

I was recently a guest at this location! The entire experience was outstanding. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by a very pleasant and welcoming hostess. She seated us promptly and offered drinks immediately! I come from a serving background and was very impressed. The server was just as delightful and the manager, Lori, stopped by our table to check on our meal. Our food was hot, fresh and delicious. The potato pancakes were perfectly made and the Country fried steak was the best I’d had in a long time! We had a wonderful dining experience and will return to the Perkins! Job well done Lori and crew! Keep up the great work!
