    I've always liked Perkins - I've found the food the descent (not great, descent), prices pretty inexpensive, service good and pretty clean. I was shocked (if not horrified) at what I saw on my last visit! Sort and filth everywhere! - Seated at a dirty table - Trash and food debris on the floor To make it worse, the hose stood in front of this disgusting mess and two different servers walked over the top of it and no one even tried to clean it up. Even worse than that, the picture show just one aisle of the dining room. More than half of the entire pace looked like this! Just filth and crap everywhere!

    5 stars because for a diner type restaurant because Perkins offers a wide variety of menu items, a very well-stocked bakery of which everything is made on premises. Plus, The daily specials they offer from 6 AM to 9 AM are so incredibly cheap. And you would think you'd only get three or four items. Think again! There are 7-8 items that are on special for the low price of $3.99. If you get on their email list they also offer you coupons for BOGO Entrées on Thursday evenings. Additionally, kids eat free on Tuesday between certain hours. I've probably been here 15 times in the last three years. Most recently I've been here three times, two weekends in a row. The service is always top notch from the second the hostess seats you, to the waitstaff who are always pleasant and quick with your Meals that always arriving accurately and on time. Even the bussers are polite and pleasant. All recent times we visited I saw the manager walk around checking on tables asking them how their meal was and also asking them if they required anything. He always ended with a " thank you for coming" This is a great touch and why the Staff is so good. A special shout out for Kim who we had all three times. She is just fabulous. No better word to describe her service and pleasant personality. She takes her job seriously And you I'd like to end this review on the bakery note Today was a Sunday and I needed to bring dessert to our Eagles game watch. I selected the banana cream pie from their bakery. It was boxed up by one person behind the counter and simultaneously rung up by another.Both of them thanked me for my purchase and told me to have a nice day. And I literally had the paid for pie in my hands In under 20 seconds. Great teamwork! As for the pie, I received rave reviews for my dessert choice. When I told them it came from Perkins no one could believe it. It was a huge hit !!!!!

    Very cheap breakfast specials as of Aug 2021

    This is great for what it is. My 3 yr old and I will go out for breakfast on weekends, and sometimes you just want bacon and eggs without paying an arm and a leg. Perkins has great breakfast specials if you come in early. My kid gets two eggs, bacon, and three pancakes for 5.99. Go to other restaurants for this same dish and you'll pay double. They also have a nice kids menu with many options that include a cookie and drink which we do sometimes. The service has been great every time I go. Super nice people and food comes out quickly. Normally I feel a bit guilty going out to eat foods that I could make really cheaply at home, but at Perkins the prices are fair and the experience is nice so I have no problem making a visit every so often.

    I'm normally never in the mood for breakfast foods, but when I am Perkins is one of my go-to places, especially on weekday mornings, because of their breakfast specials and breakfast potatoes. Although the potatoes can occasionally be underseasoned, they're always perfectly cooked- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The rest of the breakfast items are not out of this world, but they're tasty and do the jobs. The breakfast specials are super affordable, available form 6-9AM and come with coffee. There's never a wait and service is fairly quick. If you shop at Acme (one right down the street from here), there are printed coupons for 15% off Perkins on the back!

My husband liked a beer and would've gotten a second one, but the waitress never made it back to us at that point. I, of course, came to a brewery and ordered their apple cider margarita. There was a lot of ice. Too much ice. Not much drink. Didn't hurt that much because the drink was just ok. My kids crushed the pretzel. It was huge and my one kid discovered a love of cheese along with it. My spouse got the Cuban, which is a little dry, but pretty in line with Cuban expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the pickle burger with double patties, enough meat that I also shared bit of it with the kids. My kid dipped the patty in the pretzel cheese. My spouse had read that it took a while for food to come out, but it came out pretty speedy for us. We also ordered the crab dip, but it came out at the same time as our main course so we didn't eat much. Taking that sucker home. Besides the pretzel, the variety of spaces here are the main highlight. Again, disclaimer being this is coming from someone who didn't come to a brewery to drink beer.

    I had just the nicest time at the Broadway Bar and Grill…read more First, I love the location -- a genuine Philly outskirts neighborhood sense of place. Locals, families, sports fans. A down-to-earth watering hole. Cozy, even. I loved our table, a nice high-top in the corner. I guess my only complaint is that it took a little while to be seated. It was Sunday night dinner rush, L get it, but I waited by the door long enough to wonder whether anyone was going to notice me. But it was worth the wait. For a place that comes off as a bar, the meal they served me checked all the boxes -- oysters from the raw bar first, then a tender New York strip, with a generous side of Jack Daniels. Everything was perfect. Our server Jake was a real pro, the best. You could tell they were all a great team. When a drink I ordered appeared on the bar but had not yet been delivered, someone stepped up and brought it to me. Service! Something that surprised me. Though I was totally into my dinner, looking around, it struck me that the place looked exceptionally clean. I mean, excceptional, something they should be proud of. But above all, I could not have enjoyed the food more. The oysters, excellent. So good I ordered a second dozen for desert. An entirely enjoyable and satisfying experience. You'll find it worth your while.

    The food was delicious! Reasonably priced. Def get reservations on the weekend. It gets crowded…read morequick! My son and friend had the Lobster Tail, I chose the Blackened Tuna Steak. In the words of my teen, "it was bangin' ."
