Trish is a great server.My 86 year-old father and friends eat here several times a week. Trish and the other servers are always ready with a smile. Trish knows her regular customers by name. She asks about her customers lives and genuinely listens to their responses. Trish knows the orders of these regulars before they tell her. I'm so pleased my dad has a great place to gather.

Worst service ever!! Traveling & was so hungry. Was seated at a dirty booth & had to move ourselves to a clean booth right behind. Sat there 15-20 minutes without being acknowledged although there were only 2 other tables in our waitress’s section (5 people at one who were served & 2 people at the other who came after us). Waitress came out several times to walk around the dining floor & to the front/back numerous times while casually drinking her own beverage. Looked at us several times but never bothered to approach although we were close by the 2 individuals (seated after us/drink order later taken) with the dirty booth directly in between us. I finally walked to the front & waited for assistance at register - only to be asked by another waitress if I needed something. “Um. Yeah. A waitress!!” She finally came out & took our order after denying she ever saw us sitting at the table which was impossible to miss us sitting in her section. Food was good (Simple BLT). However, she never came back to refill drinks or tend to our table. She later took my moms drink without asking if she was finished or if she wanted a refill. I later asked her for two to go cups & my mom asked for water since she took her lemonade…. waitress brought mine but brought my moms water in a plastic dining cup after providing us the check. Smh. We didn’t bother asking for the to go water again. Went to pay but had to wait at counter a long time. We eventually had to go to back to interrupt employees chitchatting in order to pay the check. This place needs new management & also needs to review all the employees performance. Horrible experience. Will not go back there ever.

Great place for breakfast. Coffee always on table. Servers have great personalities they make you feel welcome

Service was slow especially being only customer at the time, first set of utensils the fork had a good bit of food still on it, originally ordered a glass of sweet tea but it tasted like it had started to ferment, reminded me of when I've had homemade tea that's been in the fridge for a couple weeks but the server was nice and swapped out my drink and utensils and apologized.

The staff are friendly enough! However, our food was close to our order. Whar we did get had really good flavor. The quality of food is not to be questioned. The dessert was good!

Great food and quick service. Our server was friendly and attentive and our breakfast hit the spot. We'll be back.

Enjoyed every bit of it our Server I didn't get his name but he has a bowtie on he was amazingly great

Long wait, but they were unusually busy.Server never came back to our table, after bringing us our food.My smoked sausage was one piece cut in half, instead of two full pieces.

I go to Perkins in St. Joe about once a week. They are centrally located, plus I have a 20% off coupon. But it expires today! Food is usually good.

I would absolutely give no stars for this place. Every time I go to this place they find some way to screw it up. One time I actually watched a cook eat on the line while preparing my food with no gloves on. Then I try again ordered a bacon cheese burger got a bit instead. I guess they just pick the food they want you to eat. Then I give it one more try today. And the food is burnt to a crisp!!! Never again will I eat from this place big biscuit is way better!!!!
