I dont eat meat so I ordered an omelette. Extremely greasy. I was with 3 other ladies. They had chicken pot pie. Not Lancaster Co pot pie. It was a chicken pie. They all thought it was wonderful and filling. Service was quick and waitress friendly.
First time ever here!!!! Excellent food I had the steak and peppers skillet that was absolutely killer, my son got the chocolate chip pancakes they looked delicious and our waitress was super nice 😊 we will be back for sure!!!!
So much food! Breakfast for dinner, yes, please!
We have been here several times. Food is always delicious and plentiful. Service has always been on point even when they are packed.
The food and customer service was exceptional. I never had a bad experience here. I always stop here on my way to Delaware or on my way home.
Very unhealthy food - for me anyway. Great service though. I wont go back because there just optio n a for someone who wants to eat healthy food.
I door dashed food bc im a truck driver and couldnt at the time get to a food place... door dash forgot a item..perkins would not make good on it..sent the wrong item that was on the menu but claimed it came in as a different item..didnt even seem to care or offer to make good on the order..screw perkins and never order from them on door dash
Great for everyone at any age!! The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. This place is an old haunt for my senior parents.The menu has everything from family favorites like hamburgers, skillet dishes and healthy salads. The homemade deserts maybe make it a 6 out of 5. The server staff are friendly, fast and just great people. Looking forward to my next visit.
Pancakes were absolutely delicious! Service was quick and friendly. Bacon was disappointing though- chewy and not very flavorful. Definitely came out of a microwave
Outstanding Quality of the Food and Service, I take my Mother there often. The Employees are Very Courteous.
Diner on steroids! Many unique items on the menu not normally found in a typical American diner.
Good food, good portions, nice people and good prices.Only thing is this place gets packed and you have to wait to get in so choose you time to eat wisely.
My homemade chipbeef in a bowl w/toast, potatoes, bacon was the very best. SC does not have this. Had to visit DE, MD, PA to enjoy it. Our server, Kim was a delight to my brother and I. Thank you Kim. I will visit this place again soon
Perkins is a nice family restaurant. The food and service is very good and if you are good you might even get a sundae.
Great service. Always enjoy the food and coffee.
Service was excellent, and it was very busy! Fast serving time, and excellent waitress. We will go there again!
Great place. There were 8 of us.The waitress was pleasant and very organized. She took our orders and get everything correct. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and waitress ensured we had everything we needed. Covid protocol in place. Only issue is the womans bathroom. This needs to be updated and monitored much closer.
Server very pleasant and efficient. Food hot and delicious. We will be back!
Decent breakfast. Reasonable service. Good variety.
There was a 20 minute wait but we were seated in about 10 minutes. Service was quick and the food hot. The waitresses were all hustling and did a great job 👍
Love eating here on our trips to Pennsylvania to visit family. Very clean and great atmosphere, friendly staff.
Huge shout-out to Perkins tonight! Mens group from church met there tonight for dinner, not knowing they closed at 8pm. We arrived 7:40-7:45 and were still seated and served! Thank you Perkins for allowing us time to eat and fellowship tonight! Our server, Keith was great!
Food is always good and the employees always go out of their way to make sure youre happy
Love their pancakes. Friendly and reasonably priced
Been eating at Perkins for decades. I compare all other pancakes to theirs. Not many places left so I make sure I get to the RT41 location as often as I can.
Perkins was great! It was nice to see wait staff still wearing face coverings like we did, however the biggest percentage of ppl did not.We both ordered off the 55+ menuThere was a great amount of food and the food was served hot!Very delicious and fulfilling. One had pancakes and sausage the other had turkey, stuffing, mashed pots and cherry sauce with a dinner roll.Will definately be back!
Just in the area from Florida and decided to have dinner here. Place was clean & efficient. Over 55 plus meals are very affordable. Meals were very good. Staff was courteous. Will return again.
Friendly service. Ordered apple pie and ice cream not bad.
Always great food, excellent staff. We stop every time on the way up from Delaware.
I do-not recommend this place. Very average quality food, some servers are friendly, others are hit-or-miss. The management seems a bit odd, but over-all, a decent place to eat if your starving, otherwise Id recommend going elsewhere. Have a Blessed day...
They have a very nice selection of fresh baked goods. The muffins and cookies are huge, and the pricing is very reasonable! Ill be returning!
Surprisingly great food, especially for a Thursday afternoon. 4 of us stopped in. A great burger, steak/peppers/potatoes plate was very good. As was my BLT. A good amount of properly done bacon! Fries were very good as well. The service was great as well!
We always have a great experience here. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is good. Not gourmet but interesting and not horrible for a major chain. For this particular area, its one of the better restaurants around with a consistently high level of quality and taste.
Great breakfast and service
I strongly disagree with their system of having everyone wait to be seated either inside or right outside the building. It’s always so congested. Everyone is basically on top of each other. I don’t see why one cannot leave their name and phone number of one member of the party and have them wait in their car. When it’s their turn, they call their cellphone in order to provide some social distancing.
Very nice restaurant. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I recommend this establishment, and will be returning soon.
Classic family restaurant that my wife and I visit whenever in the area. Price is excellent for the amount of food you get and their baked items are amazing. Get the collosal muffin with your breakfast order. Service is friendly and quick.
5/5 french toast was very good! Ive also had the perky bear pancakes and hibachi grilled shrimp. Both was also very yummy :)
Food tasted good but waukesha warm.
Good service. Good food. Good price.
Big disappointment, ordered 2 meals to go, drove 15 minutes to get it. Arrived home only to find they left out 2 side items. When will you start doing your job? I asked for a credit and was told i would need to drive back to the location? So waste my time and gas to get what i should of already had? This is not customer service.
It was ok breakfast... definitely chain restaurant food... canned gravy and lacking anything special. I had a scramble mess thingy which came out room temperature (I have worked in kitchens and dont send things back often). It felt fairly clean and was well spaced. Our server was efficient and fairly nice.
A great breakfast. 😋😋😋Along with great service 👍
The food was okay (ordered sirloin steak that was pretty dry), but my main complaint is about the caramel apple pie. The crust was not crispy at all and the topping was something unusual that did not feel good at all. If I ever go there again I will probably get some muffins just to be safe!
Good food. Join the saving club so they will send you 20 % coupon.
Great waitstaff. Our meal took a little longer than expected so they gave us cookies as we left (which were AMAZING). Food was delicious
Outstanding!!! Pot pie and soups. Wonderfully server. Bathrooms were trashy and dirty. But overall a great visit after being on the road for over 2hrs.
Good service. The meatloaf and corn were both overcooked and my coffee was luke warm. The last 2 times I was there were as disappointing. I dont think Ill be going back. Shame, I used to look forward to going there in the past. Staff and customers were always a pleasure.
The wait was long, much too long for the time they averaged but it was a busy day and from the sign out front they are in need of a cook. Then when we were called in they had written down 5 instead of 7 which my wife had repeated 4 times initially. So we had to wait a little longer. The waitress took all but our wifes drink order then walked away. Then another waitress came over and took it saying our waitress wasnt sure if she took it. Average to below average food. Some came out cold (e.g. my biscuit gravy) and one dish had a visible long hair on it. Waitress took it back and got a fresh plate (far as we know). The waitress was nice though so aside from the oopsies it was fine. Wont be going back though.
Perkins is always awesome. The strawberry 🍓 muffins are in season
We have never been disappointed visiting a Perkins. Our only two complaints were that their Coca-Cola Freestyle machine (where you can mix different sodas and flavors) was not working nor did they have any malt for their Shakes & Malts that they advertised.
They have tasty food. They have to focus on hygiene and smell of place. Toilets were not clean enough. Prices were reasonable compared to other places. Although I had uncooked potatoes my friends enjoyed their meals.
Good place for all day breakfast. Families gather here. Fast service.
I loved it. Food was great and the waitress was friendly. Id definitely come here again and would recommend others as well
The closest Perkins to go to, enjoyed food and me time ⏲️....
The restaurant wasnt crowded, even at 10 in the morning, and everyone was safe social distancing. Our server, Gina, was a delight, taking our order quickly and having our drinks out almost as soon as we sat down. Well be back!
Good food, service and pricing. Discount for veterans.
First time there. Great service and good food.
While the food was good the restaurants seating was non existent! While there were seat dividers on the booths they werent tall enough when you can hear someone in a party behind your booth coughing their lungs out and no seating every other booth!
I ate here the other day while in the area seeing family. The food was amazing! Love good breakfast food. Our server, Maritza was wonderful! She made our time there very enjoyable. Service was fast and efficent. Drinks never went empty and food came out correct and hot! Shes the best!! I had the waffle with a side of sausage and potatoes. Everything was great 👍 i live closer to the Drexel Hill location , maybe Ill try there. Hopefully we get a server as awesome as she was. The food is only part of it. Good Service and a good atmosphere are important too and that was achieved.
Great server, her name was Tori (Victoria) she was very happy and great server. The food was great too but shout out to Tori thanks for the great service.
Never great but particularly bad. Wait for service, drinks and food was way too long. Food came out and most of it was cold. Some sent food back and others told waitress they would eat the cold food since it already took way to long ti get it. Server was fine with that and a manager never came over to check on us. Server should have told manager or they should have known when she brought back half the food. Disappointing and will probably not go back for a long time.
I had the California eggs Benedict with the avocado and roasted tomatoes and wow was it so good! Love this place
My waiter Dylan was very efficient and friendly. He went that extra mile to make sure that his diners were well taken care of. The food is always good here. The smile on his face and his kindness as well as work ethics are to be commended!
Good food, good prices, especially if using email club coupons. I appreciate that calories are listed alongside each item. Our waitress was prompt & cordial (although did not tell us her name...we read her name tag). Checked on us several times during our meal. Avondale location was clean & spacious; plenty of seating.
I like Perkins. Ive been going here over 20 years. Unfortunately with the pandemic, there was a little wait. The waitress we had was nice but I think a little overwhelmed. She had forgot about me but its ok. I just would like to suggest they give more packets of ketchup when they give you your meal since 1 packet of ketchup doesnt go very far with a burger and fries.
Glad I came to eat comfortably and heard the waitresses life story
Loved Perkins, been going since I was kid. It still extremely busy. My favorite thing besides the food is that the employees treat you like theyve known you their entire life. That is a wonderful feeling as a customer. Again, the food is affordable and great. Lots of options! Breakfast all day. Coffee was burnt but thats forgivable. Unfortunately the wait to get a seat Sunday afternoon was 25 mins! Absolutely ridiculous, especially because there are not enough parking spaces. Overall, still a decent place to eat.
Service was excellent. Meals were great and price was awesome!! Our waitress Jessica maybe, was so friendly and had a great personality. She also provided exceptional service. We will definitely go back.
The place seems to always be busy. Which stinks sometimes but just goes to show that it is very good. Usually I try to get there early in the morning around 7 a.m. on Saturday to beat the rush. Staff is always on point and the food has always been good. I highly recommend the skillet mixes with tater tots. Again the only negative to this place us sometimes the wait is long.
What fun about Perkins is that each one is different. This one was basic diner, and perfect for our quick lunch on the road.
Perkins is great for any meal of the day. Ive been to a few, and this location is my favorite. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. My only complaint is that it can get very crowded, especially for breakfast on the weekends. There is usually a moderate wait time if you dont get there early. But hey, that must say something, right?
Love the food here! Early Bird Specials are the best! Very affordable. If you get there early you can be in and out in no time. The wait staff is very friendly, the food comes quickly, a d everything has been hot and delicious. We come in every week!
The food is excellent! I love having breakfast food for dinner and their Magnificent Seven entrée was delicious. We will be returning soon.
Food is decent, prices are a little high for a chain type diner, but the muffins and pies are wonderful. I find that they do desserts and breakfast the best. The staff is usually friendly and the lady thats always behind the register seems a little stand offish at first but this lady knows her stuff!
Staff and food is good. But when they tell you the wait will be 20 mins, you need to add 15mins to that.
We really do enjoy this place. The food has always been good. I have never been dissapointed over the years. Their melts are so good. The Turkey platter tastes like fresh carved turkey supposed to taste and not dry and old like some places. The omelets are really good. Breakfast potatoes are to die for. The Biscuits not so much but not horrible. If they would make them lighter and fluffier like the Biscuit places in the south that use the lighter winter wheat flour they would be wonderful. Over all this place is great and wish we had more of these restaurants.
Love Perkins! There may be a wait sometimes to get a table, and the atmosphere can be a bit noisy at times when its full. But the staff is friendly, the food is excellent and the homemade desserts are delicious! Plus you can buy whole homemade pies and other desserts to take home! Reasonable prices, great food.
Great Staff, great food. I will select Take out more often. There is a problem....the Baked Goods in the Case Look Too Good!
Perkins is a go to place when you want breakfast for dinner or steak for breakfast. The service is always wonderful and the portions are just right. The kids enjoy the grilled muffins and they never go away hungry. The three stars are because some of the meal prep needs improvement, for example, Grilled asparagus should not be soggy and the cups of butter on the plate could be cut in half; no one needs that much butter. Its a family restaurant, thats what makes it great locally.
They said 15 to 20 mins, after 35 mins I went back and asked how long the wait? They said 15 to 20 mins! So every time you keep adding 15 to 20 mins. Then she said there are 2 people ahead of you. So that means they will finish eating in 15 to 20 mins. Please be honest don’t lie tell the true1 to 2 hrs wait.
The best place to get breakfast in Southern Chester County by no stretch of the imagination. The servers all come complete with smiles and hospitality that is second to none. The menu has choices that will satisfy just about everyone, the prices are excellent, and the food is served as prompt as can be. Ive come back here time and time again and Ive never been dissatisfied with anything. If youre looking for a place to have a great bite to eat at an affordable price, theres no better place to go.
My daughter and I always share some special moments when we come here along with a really good meal and desert! We just love the servers and the layout and open windows all around provide a comfy atmosphere while visiting here! We just love it and im always trying their seasonal items- so fun and always delicious!
Me and some friends took a special trip and went here for breakfast and they were hyping it up to me the whole time. I had never been here and they were so excited to go. Well after being there, now I see why. The experience was very pleasant and I could not have asked for any better. Our server was quick and friendly and when the food came out we were all in love with it. They also sell pies at the front counter and they are delicious as well. Cannot wait to go back!
I live in Lancaster county now and dont get to visit here as much as I used to since I grew up just 3 miles from here. Perkins has been a staple of Avondale ever since I was a child. It was always a treat to come here. To this day, its still a fantastic family restaurant. The servers are always friendly and Ive never had any issues. Im sure if I did, it would be corrected straight away. Great food and scrumptious muffins and pies. I love it here.
I have never had a bad meal at your restaurant. Pancakes are very good.My last meal I had tilopia fish, mashed potatoes,and spinach--all very tasty, attractively presented, and reasonably priced. I am very impressed with the fresh spinach cooked perfectly.Staff is friendly, courteous, and very accommodating to your needs.Id recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Food quality is good. I do not know if it is locally sourced though, after all Perkins is a chain. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and pleasant. Parking is ample.I gave this place 4 stars because I believe their prices are higher then other restaurants in the area. However, on Tuesday evening kids eat free and it is a kid friendly place. Most folks like Perkins so a 10 > 15 minute wait for a table is common, especially when its B, L or D time, off times youll be seated promptly.Being a national chain, I believe the home office sets what can be sold or not. That being said, I find Perkins menu a little hard to use. For example, try to put together 2 eggs, a meat, HF & toast... It can be ordered ala cart, but finding these priced items on the menu is difficult. Shouldnt a common breakfast like this be on the menu already?
Great place for early bird.Even though they list boiled eggs as a way they prepare eggs on the menu, they dont offer them (cant boil eggs anymore?).Dont always expect the order to come out correct. They will happily fix it if you want to wait.
Good food, great waiter, incredible bakery!!! Bought cookies and muffins to go!!
Staff was very friendly. Atmosphere was incredibly positive. Food was great.Only negative was pricing. $17 for an omelette and pancakes is a bit extreme.
I know they were extremely busy but the service wasn’t great. The appetizers came out after our meals. I asked for syrup and never got it.
The restaurant is very clean; The servers and staff are all very pleasant; And the food is always .reliably good! Add in family friendly prices.
Very nice eatery. Clean and kind staff. The bakery looks very nice as well, wish I got a bun while I was there
Good to go!!! Myself and the boys headed over here after our haircuts.(looking all sharp) breakfast was amazing and our waitress recieved a hefty tip for her excellent service.
Avondale, PA storeI go to 1 waitress, service is very good.Shes a people person, friendly, knowledgeable about her work, & assist customers.Food is good, especially the pancakes.Prices are competative.
Nice breakfast with friends (so nice to be vaxed). Wonderful waitress who served us well and didnt push us out the door.
I wouldnt say that they put a lot of love in the food back in the kitchen but its good food at a good price. Service is friendly and overall value is very good. Awesome chicken fried steak and very good pies and cookies baked at the restaurant and served fresh.
The food was okay we asked for they were out of that we asked for the lemonade it was something that they had advertised and they were out of every single type of lemonade and the waitress didnt even know it before we ordered it and for one glass of milk they charge 319 I could have bought a whole damn gallon for 3:19
Our waitress, Julie, did not do a good job at all. My mom, a few of my siblings and myself went in on a Monday morning (they were not busy at all) and wanted to order a fairly quick breakfast as we were on our way to the beach. We ordered muffins and cinnamon rolls and 2 orders of Eggs with bacon and hash browns. The waitress seemed irritated by the fact that we didnt order much and after taking our order she didnt bring out our food for almost half an hour. My mom and sisters eggs were cold and seriously it doesnt take 1/2 and hour to plate a muffin and bring it to our table. There was an even larger group of all adults that were seated a good 5-10 mins after us who got their food delivered before we did. To make it even more frustrating was that she heard my little brother whining to my mom that he was hungry (Sorta felt like she wanted to teach him a lesson). After giving us our food she never came back to ask how it was (perhaps because she knew it was cold) even after telling us she would check up on us. We also didnt see her walking around through the restaurant at all during that 1/2 hour we waited on our food. My mom talked to the manager after paying for our food but overall we were very disappointed in our waitress and her non-accommodating attitude. Hope to have a better experience next time.
Our waitress was GREAT. The manager on duty did a great job of helping us get a kids menu and opening a register to help speed up checking out. Overall a good experience. Thank you!
The food was reasonable (we got there in time for early bird) and the selection of sides included asparagus...usually an upcharge. The food was tasty, the service cheerful ( thanks, D) and the peanutbutter silk pie we shared for dessert...mmmm!
It was okay, nothing to write to Mom about. Food tasty, only thing if you prefer your breakfast meat crispy make sure you tell the waiter.
The food is great all the staff was nice and kind. our waitress did a great job environment was clean also the restroom. I have no complaints.
Good food, clean and pleasant atmosphere. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is the ladies bathroom could use a little work. The baby changing station being almost 5 feet off the ground makes it difficult to use.
Lady at register who seated us was a bit rude, including snipping accusingly that I didnt tell her we had a wheelchair as I moved a couple chairs out of the way. (I absolutely had said the rest of our party would be in momentarily due to transferring the person in the wheelchair - and I was simply moving chairs, which Im used to doing all the time, not a big deal and I didnt comment on it.)Our server was very friendly. Food was meh, but Im not a fan of Perkins. Family all enjoyed theirs, they all love Perkins. So Ill chalk that one up to personal preference.Take home order of muffins was excellent, as always.
Our food was wonderful. Service was excellent. Love the coke products.
Great food and service! Havent been here in a while, but it was good to have breakfast here again!
Great Food & Service. Barbara is the BEST waitress!!
Went there last night for the first time. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Our waiter was one of the best Ive ever seen at any restaurant. I will definitely go back again.
Service was excellent coffee was delicious food average, toast was exactly how I ordered it when I got the bill it was $18.20 I had a cheese omelet a small cup of grits that were not that good and two sausage patties coffee and toast $18.20 awful expensive
Really enjoyed the visit. The wait staff was excellent. We got specials, and they were a good value, very tasty and plentiful.
The service was great. The food was delicious.Check out was very friendly and on the way out we bought chocolate pie to take home that was off the chart delicious. Definitely going again.
Usually the food is pretty good but tonight was a different story. My bacon was very overcooked & greasy and the strawberry covered French toast croissant was very dry, didnt taste like it was dipped in the French toast mixture, nor was the Bavarian creme on the top of the strawberries.
I had the Breakfast Burger with 🍟 it was good 👍 service was great and our server was very nice and friendly 👌 😊
The service was really friendly, the food was delicious and their pumpkin pancakes are the best over every other restaurant! I Always go to the Avondale one. And i shall always return to it. Ive not had a bad experience.
I think I have eaten at this place over 100 times. The staff is truly amazing and food always tasty. I started eating here when they had a bar where the bakery is now. Thats how long ago I started coming here.
Was Excellent. 10 minute wait time. Good Service and Food. Will go back again on Way home from camping.
Great courteous service with Covid precautions in place. Omelettes served cooked perfect not brown as with other breakfast restaurants.
I go there for breakfast a lot. The seating is usually quick. The staff is friendly and is quick with getting drinks and taking your order. Wide selection for breakfast and coffee is good. The food is always good and comes out quick.
We stopped here on the way home from a long trip and all of us were so happy with all the food that we got, all 9 of us. The fact that they serve real turkey and real potatoes was impressive, and the price was unbelievable too. But our waiter, I think his name was on the bill as Ernest, he was the best we have had in years! I left him a huge tip because he showed such compassion for a very elderly couple that was sitting near us. He got down on his knee to hear the older woman speak and gave her advise on what he felt was her best choice. To see him care so much for this old couple was heartwarming to say the least. I wish I could have left him a lot more money and been one of those great life changers for someone as he truly was an incredible person with a huge heart and he deserves recognition for the way that her really took care of his customers. I hope to return someday and see him again, well, no, I just hope he moves up in the company and trains others to be just like him and is a great success, just as he was in my eyes yesterday.
Ive been here a number of times and honestly this was my first bad experience. Our waitress didnt seem to know what she was doing. We got pancakes and she forgot the syrup so after about 10 minutes she brings the syrup holds the tray in front of me and told me to take the syrup very rude. By then the pancakes were cold but I ate them anyway
Ok arrived at restaurant at 15:47pm person at podium asked my wife would we like a table or a booth she said booth and the gentlemen at the podium said, just a minute gonna see if the table has been wiped off. He wipe off the table and gave both of us menu. Ok 7 minutes pass a person was seated next to us...served a drink and the waitress working that section kept walking pass us. Waiting 13 minutes has pass 4 more people were seated and cokes and water on their table and still not waited on. 16 minutes pass the wife who happens to be the most patient person in the world said, she seem to be looking at us but acts as if were invisible. Of all people the wife said, lets go...wow! So she got up and headed for the door...I turned around and seen one of the suits there and said, its pretty sad that weve been seated here over 16 minutes and 3 other groups got service right away...and they werent even busy.Well that put a sour taste in our day. But nobody cares...someone just didnt get a very good tip today...out at 16:07pmAloha
I absolutely love this place I have been going here for years. Everytime my family going to the beach we always stop in here to get breakfast or stop on the way home to eat something.
You know what you are getting when you come here. Some meals are good and some are not but their breakfast, salads, and bakery items can always be counted on to be perfect! My favorite meal is the Turkey and my husband swears by their meatloaf and potpie.
We came here on Fathers Day during lunch time when it was very busy. The staff was able to keep the wait time down to be seated which was nice because the main entrance was very warm. Once seated, we were able to order our food in a decent amount of time and it didnt take too long for our food to come. The food turned out fine but the tater tots were cold by the time they came out.
The service was very good..kind and prompted. The food was also very good. The ambiance for breakfast is nice. They are always full and it makes a good cheerful environment.
Perkins is filled with everyone nice. I loved it good food and good people. Everyone around us had a good time.
Perkins always has really good baked goods. Their breakfast is pretty good, most of there other food is good too. They do tend to be very busy at times, and seem to cater to a much older crowd.
Should you go? Yes but get there earlier cause the small waiting room fills up fast.I almost only go here for breakfast. The few times I have gone for dinner, I get breakfast. Yes, they servered breakfast all day before McDonalds realized it was possible.I live the granny country omelette with hash browns (yes, hash browns and not breakfast potatoes) and get you muffin or toast of choice. Go for the muffin.I have to mention and make sure you understand, get the hash browns. They make the best hash browns that I have found in a large area around. I have gone to a lot if diners and other restaurants around and almost no one serves hash browns. Plus they normally cook them almost perfect. A nice crispy outer shredded potatoes that are golden brown on the top and bottom and the interior is perfectly warm and soft. So you get that beautiful balance or crunch and silky potato goodness. This is the reason I give them 5 stars.Oh, their staff is good as well. Typically always nice, friendly, and timely.The cashier lady has been there since I can remember. It feels like decades. I will be very sad when she retires because to me, she is a Perkins constant and part of the visit I look forward to. I dont know her name but Perkins needs to respect the significant and constant part of the experience she provided.
Wonderful breakfast at a reasonable cost. The bacon was awesome. The restaurant and rest rooms were spotless and service by Amanda was excellent. Will definitely return!
Very good food..much better than the one in Newark, DE.
My husband and I had breakfast there today. There was no wait and they were busy. Our waitress was precious! The food was great!!!
Great food and great service
The waitress was wonderful very attentive n food came out piping hot very eye appealing its a nice restaurant we always stop on our way to beach. Service was fast I give it 5 stars.
In Avondale. We met up with children from Delaware and enjoyed a day together since this pandemic. The waitress. Was very Pleasant
I had a horrible experience here with a very rude assistant manager named Sharon. When I tried to use my coupon she was rolling her eyes at me and being extremely condescending. She ended up not allowing me to use a completely legitimate coupon because she never got that coupon before so she didnt think it was valid (I wouldve saved over 20 dollars). She then threw 2 dollars at me and told me to split it with my friends. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because of the times where Ive had good experiences there
Nice place, was a little slow on getting our meal but was well prepared and tasty...there is a calorie chart at the table...5/31/2021: want to thank Perkins Restaurant for honoring those that made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation...the breakfast Magnificent 7 was well received by myself and hopefully for all the veterans whom visited for the wonderful gift...again thank you Perkins! 🇺🇲
Ive been here twice now! Phenomenal food. Great service. Nice and attentive staff. Now I only wish there were beer :(
Im from Georgia and ate here while visiting my wifes family. Was a little different to what Im used to, but I enjoyed the food. The portions were ample. Coke was way off.
This particular Perkins is clean, well-managed, and the staff is friendly and accomodating. I had the shrimp avocado salad and asked for some substitutions, all of which were done just as requested. My father-in-law had the beef medalions with mushrooms and reported it was quite good, the beef prepared correctly to medium. We make Perkins a routine stop when passing through this area on the way to Wilmington, and will continue to do so!
Great food, very clean, outstanding sanitizing, social distancing. Have always loved Perkins and will continue to love it and keep going!
Very clean GREAT SERVICE. They know how to cook your food. Our waitress was the best. She couldnt do enough for us. Thanks!
Quick dinner on a Friday evening. Six adults and a child for under 100, pretty reasonable prices. I got one of the 55+ meals with is a bit cheaper. Great pies and muffins.
There was a nice selection of items, breakfast all day. Perfect for the family outing where you can find a value meal with options that anyone will enjoy. Service was nothing amazing but was not lousy.
This is my go to place, the staff is friendly, the food is good. And they breakfast ALLday!!! 🍳
Amazing. D was our server and she was fabulous and cheerful! Loved her joking around with our granddaughter with manners. She was awesome!
I wonder how clean the kitchen is, and if the people working there actually wear gloves. Food was cold, and my eggs were placed on top of some old dried out stuck on cheese that was never cleaned from the plate before re-using it to serve me my food, I could even see what looked like finger prints and smears where someone had tried to wipe the dried out stuck on cheese off the plate. Not to mention they screwed up my order of crispy hash browns and served me a batch of dripping grease strands of potatoes shards, under-cooked, and soggy.
Food was pretty good. Our waitress was awesome. Happy and bubbly answered all our questions. Truly good spirited woman.
Parking lot was almost full. Now I know why. Slight delay but once seated we knew why this Perkins was so popular. Friendly staff (Amanda) and VERY good food. 5 Stars!
I am new to the state and never have eaten at a perkins franchise. The eggs Benedict was delicious.
Brought home a cinnamon bun that was not in front case but in the back room. I asked if it was fresh. I cut it in half to eat part of it and it was stale. Very disappointed.
The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly. Staff made an effort to make sure we were happy. I would highly suggest eating here.
Havent been there in 20 years or so since we moved. But back in area so thouggt wed try it. It was as good as we remember back then. Becca our server was great and so was the food.
Always good breakfast and great service!
The food was great. I had to wait twenty minutes to use the bathroom and someone left the stall a mess. Thankfully an employee sanitized it.
The staff here are excellent. They are very friendly, and patient with children trying to make big meal decisions. The service is fast. Its a great place for a special treat!
Comfort food with great service. My experience was also that they dont rush you if your having good conversation. I think thats important because this is why we go out to eat
Good stop didnt have to wait long for anything food was very good trent was our server and he was very polite took really good care of everything we couldnt have asked for a better person to wait on us, THANK YOU TRENT AWESOME JOB
It was absolutely delicious . Our service was great, she was pleasant and very courteous
Perkins in avondale is extremely clean. the rug in the place is free of any food droppings. breakfast is served all day long, before 6PM early bird specials are offered. they also have an over 55 menu.
Service is very good here, they seem to be properly staffed. Nice variety of chioces and very resonably priced. Can be crowded at times so be prepared to wait, but they keep things moving along. The parking can be tricky when there busy. There doesnt seem to be enough places to park.
I have been coming here ever since I was a little kid. The food is home-style and rarely have a problem with anything. The baked goods are yummy and definitely fresh. Prices are super affordable
Went back a second time after having a not so great meal. I must say the food and service was on point today. Great job everyone!
Service and food are always excellent when we visit. The parking lot and lobby can be full, but they somehow manage to get us seated within 15-20 minutes even at their busiest times.
Staff is friendly and the food is always good. My only issue are the stains on the ceilings tiles and the ladies bathroom needs to be gutted and remodeled. The floor in there is awful.
Food was average. Tomato-basil soup very good and hot(which I liked).Ice tea good.
The food was good and plenty of it. Fast service with a short wait for your meal. 😊
Sometimes I mean sometimes...its really good. But this last time.. Nope. They need to watch what the cook is doing and clean their coffee and drink cups.. They have help wanted signs I hope they are picky and return to 4 stars.. If we go again
Went for grandmas birthday breakfast. Even though the place was packed the service was great as well as the food. Would love to go again.
Food was really good, but our waitress disappeared and we sat there for over 30 minutes and finally had to have the hostess help us. Disappointing.
My family has been going here since we moved to the area 15+ years ago. Weve never had a bad meal or bad service in all of that time. The new, updated menu is mouth-watering! Our guests from out of town always beg us to take them here for breakfast :)
Dinner meals were suffice, and overall cleanliness of the structure appeared adequate.
This is quite a nice Perkins, with plenty of available seating and just about enough parking. The food is consistent with what you would expect from a Perkins, and the wait staff are competent. It gets very busy around 5pm.
Perkins ..take out is 5 stars i have had take out meals many times ..every thing you Need is there everything You order is thete many places there is always something missing not perkins. 5 stars. Even help carrying it to the car if needed. 5 stars all the way. The food. Is good too.
The food is always great, and the servers are very nice and friendly.l enjoy going there,even though it is several miles from our house!
Delicious food at a reasonable price. We both had the tilapia with shrimp. Will use the lemon pepper seasoning, delicious. So much food we took some home.
Good food, excellent service and still a decent menu
This is one of my top 3 breakfast places and they have the best desserts if you like muffins this is the place to go super fast service overall clean environment and most of the time perfectly nice waiters/ waitresses all I would say is if you want to go here on a saturday morning make a reservation their always booked.
Great family resturaunt & diner. Affordable prices food was delicious and fast,We had steak skillet, and burger, and would go back for more
Place is clean, staff is friendly, price is reasonable, baked goods are stellar, regular menu items are hit and miss ranging from ok to good. Service is fast.
Did our traditional Perkins break stop on our way to OC. Our patty melts and tomato basil soup were great choices!! 😋
Very well run, excellent food --quick and helpful staff. Will be back.
Great foodJust dont like the Covid changes. You have to wait and sit in your car to be called
Dont know, no one waited on us so we left. Other people came in after us and got waited on so I figured it would not be a good experience. Gave our menues to the hostess and told her, she really didnt care.
Good service and great early bird specials to choose from. The food was plentiful, hot and tasty. There is a lot of parking here with an easy exit.
The quality of my food left much to be desired. How do you ruin hash browns?
Eggs, pancakes, and bacon made a good brunch. Excellent coffee.
Always a great meal
My waitress was outstanding the food was great just wish we had one in Delaware lower part of Delaware

2022-06-19Amber was a great waitress for our Fathers day outing. No complaints from any of the kids, thats amazing in and of itself. We had the salmon, eggs Benedict, pancakes, turkey platter, mac n cheese, hamburger and a spinach salad.

2022-06-02You know what youre getting at a Perkins - glutinous portions of cheap, fast food. The staff at this Perkins is awesome. The reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because we rarely get hot food - even if the place is empty. Good coffee ☕️👌

2021-05-24We went there for breakfast. The food choices were numerous with big breakfasts and smaller choices as well. When you order coffee or tea you get a refill pitcher with it . The service was great and the food was delicious. The buttermilk pancakes were amazing.

2019-07-01We were settled in the sun porch area. It seemed to be very echoey in there. Recommend you sit in the original building. The food was very good. Next time Im in the area I will eat there again.
