Allen B.

I ordered $80 worth of food. It showed up totally wrong, burnt, and burgers cut up into pieces. Apparently the cook has two jobs and was very tired. No one has access to do a refund. The manager Roberto may or may not be in tomorrow. The kitchen was shut down so the "cook" could go home cause he was tired. Austin was clueless on how to fix this. If I could post a pic with this you would be disgusted. Never again, Perkins in pure garbage. Save your money.

I normally don't give 5 star reviews but this one today 9/29/2022 deserves it as 25 customers where there and only the managers on duty. I didn't catch her name which I should have, but she did excellent getting all the food out and making sure all customers got their drinks and food. The only thing she wasn't able to do was bus the tables but did have one of the cooks come out to bus. She did an amazing job ????!!

Ate here on a Saturday, food was fine, about the standard Perkins quality. However, our server was not having a good day, and was negative. Once I observed her attitude, I looked around wondering what was going on. It looked like our server was also acting as manger, dealing with staffing issues and more customers than she could handle. My gut reaction was they didn’t have enough staff to handle demand. We came back on Labor Day. The waiting area was full, but no host was present. After waiting several minutes for a host, a member of our party asked for the host. At that point she was told that only one cook had showed up, and he had more orders than he could handle. They would not be seating more customer for the next several hours. At that point everyone in the waiting left, upset, because no one had bothered to communicate the situation and instead had just left them wait.
