Perkins American Food Co.

Breakfast served all day! Best pancakes - never disappoint, great selection of bakery items, friendly staff, excellent service.
Highly recommend.

My husband and I stopped here one evening around 5:45.
No one greeted us, and after waiting awhile, we were seated.
The lone waitress was scurrying around trying to do her best to keep up, although it wasn't even that busy.
This place is the dingiest Perkins we have ever been at.
We ordered, and then we waited, and waited, and waited !! By this time, there were 3 waitresses/ cashiers.
Finally, about the time we were ready to just leave, our food arrived.
The soup was very good, but the salad was straight up terrible.
It tasted like an iceberg salad from Walmart with rotten (yes!) spinach in it and croutons.
I opted for the grilled chicken, and the meat tasted like it was turning spoiled.
We were in a hurry and decided not to make a fuss because IMO the best thing to do for something like this is to never come back.
We left at 7:20.
Also the table beside us had the same problem.
The one man had asked for ranch on the side, and after waiting awhile, his friend told him that he might as well eat because if he waits, he might be here most of the evening 😏

Owner response

We got breakfast here on our way out of town, my partner’s choice (though I was happy enough to oblige).
Seated quickly, food was prompt, and server was wonderful throughout our meal: friendly, kind, helpful, professional.
The whole meal looked and tasted just as expected, which is to say, basically the ideal traditional American breakfast (thanks in part to mass production factories).
I typically prefer smaller, independently owned businesses with more locally sourced ingredients, high ethical & environmental standards for sourcing, processing, etc.
(I know, I know… I can already see the eye rolls I’m getting...) But I grew up on chains like Perkins and still appreciate, and enjoy, standout individual locations and the employees that hold them up as such.
This one felt like one of those to me. Apparently we came on their weekly free-slice-of-pie day: when my partner ordered a slice, our server let us know about the deal and asked if I’d like a slice, too.
We took slices both to go but can now happily report the pie and pumpkin cheesecake slices were delightful! Highlights: Wonderful service.
Prices are phenomenal.
Bottomless coffee in a slim, tall carafe for 2.99 or 3.99.
Free pie!
