Stopped by Perkins while traveling and grabbed breakfast at the Harrisonburg location off I-81. First of all, the menu was a little overwhelming. There were so many items and we were given three different menu copies, so it took a minute to figure out what we wanted. The staff were super nice and friendly, though the service was pretty slow. Our server apologized for the wait, which I appreciated, but it was still a long wait. I ordered the blueberry pancake platter with crispy hash browns and substituted the bacon for turkey sausage patties. After waiting, they brought out turkey bacon instead, but our server was very apologetic and brought the patties out, which I appreciated. The pancakes had nice crispy edges, but they were a little dense and the blueberries just weren't it. The scrambled eggs were okay. The hash browns were so crispy and oily that they almost tasted like chips instead of hash browns. The sausage patties and bacon were also pretty underwhelming. The patties were extremely thin, and I only took one bite. My friend had the salmon and broccoli and seemed to enjoy it, although I did notice a black spot on the broccoli. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. There were quite a few people dining, but it wasn't loud, which I liked. Overall, the staff were great and the atmosphere was nice, but the food and wait time could definitely be better. read more

We needed some breakfast grub during our road trip, so we came to Perkins. It's located off of I-81. Although the food was average, the service was one of the best I've had. The hostess and servers were extremely friendly and accommodating. Their kindness put a big smile on my face so shout out to them! I ordered "The Everything" omelette which came with diced ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and American cheese. It also came with 2 sides- I chose crispy hash browns and blueberry pancakes (~$17 for everything). The food was just okay... it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. The biggest perks are that the portions are filling and they have very affordable prices. Many dishes come with an additional 2 sides already included in the price, so it's a good value. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with bakery items. They have a discounted kids menu as well as one for those who are 55+ years old. They even have a bottomless option for certain beverages! Overall, it's an affordable spot to refuel during a road trip, but don't expect mind blowing 4 or 5 star food. read more

We were in town for a concert and stopped by for breakfast. Service was fast and food was great! The pancakes and waffles were soft and fluffy, and the omelet was nicely presented and tasted good! The only negative is that they had politically conservative news headlines in a slideshow they had on the TVs. We don't need to talk politics over breakfast. read more

This Perkins location is attached to a truck stop right off from I-81. Our party of four arrived just before noon on a Sunday. We were told the wait was ten minutes but we were seated in five. Food is basic but good. There's a little something for everyone on the menu. Scrambled eggs are obviously not freshly cracked and have a weird consistency. Our waitress Brittany was excellent. The restaurant was busy but she was still extremely attentive and friendly. read more

Just a little disappointed the last time we visited them. Two cups of coffee for my wife and I was $7.00. $3.50 for a cup of coffee??? I guess it's cheaper than Starbucks but they were not anything special!! read more

A typical chain restaurant. You don't eat here if you want gourmet but diner food in a clean place

Went here because I was on a roadtrip and I didn't think there was any better places. The fish and shrimp pilaf was the best out of all 3. Get the garlic fish for sure, the shrimp was also fresh and tasty. The salad was pretty good. But the fisherman's grille needed more seasoning. read more

The food was so so. It was about what you would expect from a gas station plaza restaurant. The waitress was nice and service was prompt. However, they had a TV that was on and it kept showing pictures of rapists and perpetrators. At one point the TV was showing a violent insurrectionist and praising this person while suggesting that more people join the fight to overthrow the United States. Not the best thing to have on at a restaurant. read more

Food was cold. Woman puking in bathroom. Hair in food. Terrible service. I could go on and on about this dirty dump.

Great breakfast selections Harry man breakfast is a great value Service is always great We stop in here once a month for breakfast for the last 15 years! read more

This restaurant is the only reason why my husband and I continue to go back it's because John the nice man that works there is the best he's courteous he's polite and professional no matter what kind of a bad day you're having he makes you feel welcomed I recommend there in the food is great. read more

This is our go to restaurant when traveling through Pennsylvania . Consistent food and service . Tonight was no exception . Bad accident - restaurant overwhelmed! Kudos to staff especially our waitress Skylar who was overwhelmed but made the best of a bad situation with positive attitude and service. The food as always was great turkey dinner and southwest grilled salad did not disappoint . This is why we keep coming back read more

Stopped here for lunch today. I ordered the shrimp teriyaki with red peppers, broccoli,rice and onions. It was good, along with a garden salad. Service was good and friendly. It is located at a Flying J plaza, so plenty of truckers. I would eat here again. read more

Old people truck stop grub at it's mediocreist. Nothing special but good enough to put food in your belly for a long haul. In my opinion there are better options, such as Denny's, but if you need food and coffee it will get the job done. The desserts looked good, did not Indulge however. read more

We stopped here after having been served 2 bad meals (one undercooked, and another one overcooked) at a restaurant previous to here. So when we came here thinking that we would be able to get something as a last ditch effort so late in the evening - we were wrong. The place was to close at 11PM. We arrived about 10:20 and were never served our meal. When we told our server that we weren't staying, she tried to tell us that our meals were being cooked at that immediate moment. We told her we weren't going to wait around, and so then when we went get our bill straightened out, we told them we weren't going to pay for it, and magically, our food came out to us all prepackaged and in a "doggie bag" ready to go as if they were trying to get us to pay for the non-service anyways....never happened, and we will never be going back again. read more

It's Perkins. I'm shocked these places still exist. News Flash! The bakery isn't enough anymore folks! This location is at a truck stop/Stuckeys. My husband was kind and said this joint was better than Denny's. I'm glad he was pleased. I have to question any place that advertises fruit, at market value, then serves fruit that looks like it was cut a week ago. In season, right now, is strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cantaloup and honeydew. My dish included the last two and grapes! I ordered the Cinnamon Roll. It was probably frosted three days ago! They advertise their bakery. Do it right or don't do it at all! Coffee? WEAK! Go get a Dunkin Donuts coffee at the truck stop before sitting down. I recommend the mint hot chocolate. Restaurant clean? Yes! Service. Acceptable. Friendly. Our server was the shift supervisor. She was pleasant. Knew her stuff. Not overbearing. read more

This is a good place for breakfast, but I wouldn't suggest going here for plain eggs and toast. Try some of their novelty breakfasts. For example any of the biscuit breakfast platters. Their pancakes and french toast are also good. Breakfast is a little more expensive here, more than a diner would be, but if you go for their specials its worth the extra money. *I haven't had much experience with their dinner selections so I can't comment on them. read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - Country Sausage Biscuit Platter. - Bakeries Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This Perkins restaurant is inside the Wilco Travel Plaza, just off a I-81 exit, so the location is very convenient for travelers. They do not have their own restrooms though. The facilities are in the middle of the travel plaza and shared by the travel store and the other eateries, so those may not always be the cleanest. Parking, which is in the travel plaza parking area, appeared to be sufficient, but I was there late in the evening so I cannot say how it will be during the daytime. As is typical for the Perkins chain, the food is nothing to write home about. However, the Ragin' Cajun I tried at least had some interesting flavor. Service, however, was fantastic! The server was very friendly and helpful, and anticipated my needs, bringing various items before I even asked. read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - Ragin' Cajun - Bakeries Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

the place was pretty nice i guess, but the waiter was very rude and yelled at my sister because she took too long to order. he said and i quote "do you have a problem with me trying to take care of you?" the waiter also had food on his finger and glared at my sister and stood right over her while she ordered. along with that somebody in the back dropped some plates. the lady who was at the front was pretty nice, but she sat us at a table that was still wet and only then did she come and dry it. afterwards she forgot to give us menus and it was about 5-10 minutes until a young man at the bar handed us the menus. this has nothing to do with the place itself but a shady old guy who claimed to be 67 sat by me and tried to have a conversation with me, calling me little lady and making me uncomfortable. i think there was only one waiter working and he was trying his best to be nice and all. the food wasn't even good, the chicken in my salad was undercooked and the french toast was dry and bland. i'm honestly disappointed in this place, they need to do better and i'm very upset with the outcome because i had high expectations coming in here, expectations of which they did not meet. not coming back here. read more

Went here because there wasn't much else around. Honestly I'm not much of a chain restaurant kind of gal but you gotta do what you got to do. On vacation with family including one 7 year old Perkins seemed like a decent option. Food was okay, my child liked his food mine was again okay. Service was okay, waiter offered us Free pie, was not excepting that. Not exactly the way to win me over, but it impressed. Would never go back unless I had to, but that's just me. read more

Asheli was a very nice waitress. She has the right mind to work here. The food was excellent and the hash browns were great and pancakes were right on point. I would recommend this place to anyone. She even separated everything on my plate as I asked. I know it's anal but that's me. Thanks for a great breakfast off to Texas read more

This Perkins is part of a truck stop. We were seated quickly and the waitress came for our order. It was late morning, so we ordered breakfast. We waited a long time to get the food. So long, that my companion went to find a manager to see what happened to our waitress. The manager ended up giving us our meals for free. When the waitress finally brought our food, no explanation was given and no apology. The food was very good. I had an omelet which was very tasty. read more

2nd time I ate here & ended up w/ food poisoning within 24hrs. Had the California eggs Benedict (sub bacon for Turkey sausage). NEVER AGAIN. It's not worth the risk of getting sick!!!!! Avoid and get brunch elsewhere. read more

I got to the restaurant I was told the wait was 30 min waited about 45 min. Got seated waited another 15 min for the waitress DIANA to acknowledge us she waited on a lady that sat 10 minutes after us after another 15 min pass and she took our food and drinks order didn't get drinks for another 15 min at that point I was over it the lady that sat after us got food at that point. At no point did the manager approach us about the wait. We ended up getting up from the table after 1 hour and 10 min and leaving with no FOOD! this was unacceptable. I will never visit this franchise again!! The manager along with the waitress should be FIRED! I got more of an apology from the Hostess! read more

The trip to Perkins on Linglestown Rd. today was a total disappointment. The food was good as always,but the staff is a totally different thing. Clearly they are unaware we have a pandemic! Our waiters mask was off more than on, they cashier was using hers as a chin strap, and the folks coming out of the kitchen rarely had any masks on at all. Go to Perkins at your own risk! So many restaurants are struggling, and working to do things right, I would suggest going to some of those and skip Perkins! read more

I had a minimally satisfying egg sandwich assembled by a minimally qualified cook. The cost of my minimal sandwich was maximized with the bill. Reminds me that unemployment is at a 50 year low! read more

Truck driver here, I don't sit down and eat too often but occasionally I'll have a day off and I like to get some diner type food. It's a Sunday (noon-ish) and when I walk through the front door I'm quickly greeted and promptly seated. Servers are buzzing around because it seems like I caught them right around when church gets out and the place is pretty packed. Don't have to wait too long and my waitress gets my drink order, black coffee and a water, coffee almost tastes burnt or like they have had it sit around a while but it's half way decent compared to truck stop stuff, but I digress. I'm hungry and this is probably the only meal I'll eat today so I go big, I get the country fried steak and eggs, come with choice of potato and I opt for the biscuits instead of toast or 3 pancakes. The food was incredible! The CFS came out nice and crispy, gravy was just right. For how busy it was I almost said I wanted scrambled eggs just so that I wasn't disappointed when the over easy eggs were cooked too much but I slipped up and said I wanted over easy BUT, the eggs came out perfect! Hash browns left a little to be desired, seems like they cook them ahead of time and leave them in a warmer because they came out kinda mushy, like even the more crispy parts of it were soggy. Not sure if the biscuits are home made but I can't really say anything bad about them rather they were pretty good. Now, back to the coffee. They do bring out a thermos type of pot to the table and that way you have an almost endless supply of this almost bad, hot brown water coffee type stuff. I had this weird realization half way through my meal that I wasn't drinking it, that was telling. First cup I powered through just because I needed it, second cup i only had about half until I was finished with my plate. Then it was just me and this half a cup of coffee. I hate leaving food or drinks so I dumped 2 French vanilla creamers in it and took it like a shot. In conclusion, food was delicious but the coffee wasn't. Only reason why it's not 5 stars is because of the coffee, places like this should be centered around having great coffee. I mean they do have a lot of desserts in their display and my idea of this place is that people traveling through would stop by for a slice of pie or cake and a cup of coffee. I'd be back for the food but not the coffee. read more

We met some friends at Perkins. We were seated relatively quickly, however, our server took forever to come over. Then she took forever to bring drinks. Then she took forever to come back and take our orders. Probably 45 minutes after we came in, we got our food -- and it wasn't very busy. We noticed the pepper shaker was smashed in like someone had struck it with a hard object -- or smacked it hard on the corner of the table. We had five entrees among the four of us. Each entree was good but one of our party found a huge long hair in his country fried steak. Nevertheless, he continued to finish his meal. He said it was good -- not as good as the country fried steak at Cracker Barrel -- but good. Overall, the food was good and our server sucked. She was slow, spilled salad dressing on our food, took ten minutes to being extra napkins even though she only had one other table and overall just didn't seem to want to serve us. I left $8 as a tip in four $2 bills (on a $50 bill). While paying our check, she came up to the register area and was complaining to a coworker about receiving $2 bills as a tip. My other half said that if she had heard the complaint, she would have cheerfully asked for the money back ... read more

This place is great. They had a wonderful deal with an entree and dessert included for $11. Excellent truck stop.

I was in town with my mum and sister for a concert. We were STARVING the next morning and this place was recommended. Major minus in my book because they don't have any meat selections that are not pork, no turkey bacon or no beef sausage. I ordered my eggs scrambled and I could see the white yoke dripping out, I ordered them with cheddar cheese and htey put american cheese, when I sent them back to be corrected, the egg came out cooked but it was COVERED in cheese, could barely taste the egg. The hash browns were delicious though, my french toast was just eh. I honestly would have preferred an IHOP over this place, my mum and sister enjoyed their meal though. read more
