I visited Perkins on a Tuesday evening around 6:30. The place was clean and had plenty of tables available, so we had our choice to sit anywhere.Our server was pleasant and patient, as my mother made alterations to her cheeseburger. I had the Eggs Benedict and my girlfriend had a chicken salad sandwich with a strawberry salad.I ordered a third Eggs Benedict, but the cook must have misunderstood, as I received an extra poached egg just plain. I did not request for the egg to be returned, as I was very hungry at the time and didn't care.The two Eggs Benedict were atrocious. They were not poached as I requested, and the yokes were very hard. The ham was just a slab that covered 1¼ of the two muffins. In other words there was no separate slice of ham for each muffin.The chicken salad sandwich was very bland, but the strawberry salad was delicious. The cheeseburger was good, and it came with a generous portion of French fries. The slice of coconut cream pie for dessert was a disappointment, as it had very coconut cream, and was left half-eaten.Upon checking out, I was asked by a young woman operating the register about my meal. My complaint about the eggs was met with an indifferent, "sorry.'Overall, the experience was such that I will not return. The fact that it was located next to two hotels yet was practically empty is very telling. The complacency of the staff (with the exception of our server) leads me to believe that there will be quite an attrition rate over time.

I have lived in this area for 1 year, and when i fist came here this was my favorite place to come for breakfast. Well, time have changed and not for the better. The service is lacking and overworked. The food quality has taken a turn for the worst. I am currently here and the meal was mediocre at best. I ordered my usual steak and eggs, however what I was served was a yellow heap of some sort of mass covered in a even darker yellow plastic coating called cheese along side a hockey puck that I ordered medium well that was more medium wellover cooked. I don't know what happened here but I guess I will have to find a new place to actually enjoy my breakfast.

The restaurant is very clean, menus are clearly marked but most importantly part of the sign is missing when you get off interstate 81 exit. If you're not sure where it is it's directly across from Dunkin' donuts! The portions were a good size, my steak was perfectly done & the staff was excellent!

Came here for lunch and I ordered breakfast stuff and fries with cheese and gravy. My wheat bread as clear as day had mold on it all over our bread. Server looked shocked ?. I completely lost my appetite. Fries were very cold coming out, cheese was cold and gravy was cold. Would not recommend this place ewww!!!

Perkins is a great restaurant to visit for breakfast. I made a custom breakfast with the chocolate muffin. The muffin was a little dry, but still pretty good. Service was excellent and my waitress was very friendly. The restaurant appeared really busy but I still was able to quickly get a table. Overall, will be back again.

Our server was extremely busy when we arrived, she was working the entire room by herself. Nobody had to wait for anything! She is a very personal gal,so nice to all her customers. .her name is Margie and you guys are lucky to have such a dedicated worker!

Hostess Tanya was very rude, waitress was friendly food was great!

GREAT FOOD....GREAT SERVICE..I got seated right away..in 15 mins my meal was In front of me....5 star I give..?????

"Hit or miss" is probably the best description of this location - even before COVID.We struggle with coming here because the service is generally pretty slow. If you hit it on a weekend morning, you will be waiting a long time (compared to other places in the area) to get a seat. Seating is still every other table from early COVID restrictions.The servers are friendly and the food is generally decent but I think they are just under staffed or really inefficient.For this visit, my toast was under toasted, my bacon request was crispy and it wasn't, the eggs were supposed to be over medium and they was still clear slime on the bottom. ?‍♀️

Excellent service, courteous staff, delicious food. They offer a great selection of breakfast and dinner dishes and happily customize your selection to your liking. And their dessert selections are always top notch.
