Came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Thankful they are open. After being seated in a booth, someone showed up taking our drink order. That nice because we don't like having to wait for water. Ordered the Country Fried Steak with two sides. I chose green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. Declined the bread to save room for a slice of pie from their bakery. We tried their peanut butter silk pie. Everything was good. Adrienne, our server, is very happy and helpful. You can tell she loves her job. They have mostly booths but along the windows there are tables with ceiling fans above. read more

Service was very friendly and attentive. Food was served hot from the kitchen. My father-in-law was really hoping for a caramel apple pie and they went back in the back and found one for him read more

We used to have Perkins in central Ohio. I thought I remembered seeing them, but not sure if they're here at all anymore. I was on my way back from the Saturday stages in Newport for the Overmountain Rally Tennessee and being that it was after 10pm, basically my options were fast food or nothing. I was facing a lot of 'closes soon' on the restaurant lookup but saw Perkins was open until midnight. Dead tired, I pulled in about 11, chatted with the equally tired waitress about suggestions, and decided on a Belgian waffle, eggs over medium, bacon, and a pair of strawberry cream fried roll things I forget what they called them. The place was pretty empty that late at night, with only a few tables taken up. It was well lit and mercifully quiet. Everything showed up in about 5 minutes. The waffle was great, the syrup didn't taste fake, there was just enough butter, eggs were exactly as I asked, and the bacon was likewise as crispy as I wanted. Maybe I was starving, since I don't eat much when I'm on the stage for the whole day, but either way it was really good. The strawberry cream things, I only ate half of one. It was a better version of the ones they have at McDonald's. The only thing taking a star from this is that I couldn't get one strawberry and one apple. I did take them with me and ate them for breakfast the next morning. They were still good despite not being refrigerated. I'll probably be back again next year after another long Saturday. read more

The fish and chips tasted like frozen battered fish from a grocery market heated up. Nuked packaged fish is better. Same with the roast beef. This chain is good for breakfast but I would stay away. read more

Initially we waited about 10 minutes before our server showed up. She stated she was washing dishes. I would think waiting on customers should be first. She asked what we wanted to drink and I stated that we were ready to place our order. She abruptly stated drinks first. Okay, not a problem. Then, it took a while to get the food, and they were not that busy. I had turkey/dressing/mashed potatoes/broccoli. The potatoes first, were not real like they use to be, and second cold. Yes, I could have sent them back but why would cold food be delivered. As well, the stuffing was cold. Hubby ordered the steak/peppers and stated his was not that warm either. In zooming by we got asked if everything was okay but I'm not sure we would have had time to answer. So, yes, I could have said something but no, I did not because I shouldn't have to wait for my food to be taken and reheated so I could eat it. This is probably our last Perkins visit. It has really gone downhill. read more

Started my morning off with one of my favorite breakfast place. What's great about this place is not only the food but the friendly staff, as soon as you get in the door your greeted with a smile. The restaurant is super clean and organized, the bakery is also super fresh and full of variety desserts for all taste. Today I ordered a breakfast platter and made it my own, two fried eggs, crispy hash (delicious ) and some links. Everything tasted fresh and most important cooked the way I want it. I couldn't go without ordering a muffin they are to die for, my favorite is the Apple cinnamon. Ask for them to warm it up with some butter. If your in the area make sure to stop by they serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. read more

We stopped here after a long drive and thought it would be a good change . It was early so I was still doing breakfast . Had the eggs Benedict which is always great and my fav and wife had the same thing with sauce on the side. Had a few specials on the menu for 55 and older so I was in! . Worth a check out if you come across one of these in your travels . Service was great and waitress was very friendly and helpful. Decor is traditional and was a clean and bright. read more

Perkins saved the day when we were road tripping and got tired ... it was late and we were hungry and essentially in the middle of nowhere with nothing open. I know - it sounds like the plot opening of a horror story and trust me when I say it felt like it for a second! When in doubt order two burgers with all the fixings. That we did. It was gluttonous and good in all it's glory! read more

When you pull up it appears that it's going to be a long wait because of the number of cars in the parking lot. But that was not the case at all. Our party of 4 was seated immediately. Our waitress came by quickly. She was friendly and helpful. We all ordered coffee and she brought the coffee and each of us a glass of ice water. The only problem with the meal was the coffee. It was really weak. I would guess that someone had double brewed the grounds. We should of ask for a new pot but we were so busy chatting that we just kept drinking it. Our food came out pretty quickly. It was quite good breakfast food. It's PERKINS !!!! Breakfast is their specialty. I think we all cleaned our plates. If we are in this area again (we will be) we will stop by again for a great meal. Next time we will ask for a better cup of coffee. The coffee is actually quite pricey. read more

I absolutely love eating here. It's clean, friendly and the food has been good every time we have gone. Yesterday we had a waitress (Adrienne, sorry if I misspelled that) and she was such a joy and made our experience even better. We will definitely go back and ask for her when we do. read more

We did not eat there, ordered three dozen cookies which were yummy! This review is complete.

Molly was our server and was so nice. The food here is very consistent, and always delicious. They are also the one place that has stayed open, albeit reduced hours, through the pandemic. Highly recommend read more

The food at Perkins has always been above average. Many times I get take out and it is always waiting or just coming out. The store is always clean and the front end staff is friendly and the ambiance is good. read more

Service was very lacking. Long wait at the start after we were seated. Had to ask for every refill. Turkey and dressing was a reminder of stove top. Breakfast is the way to go here. read more

Servers were great but, other than that, it was like a cafeteria in a retirement home. Meh.

Have eaten here numerous times and have had good service and the food is always good.

Food arrived cold and it's not wonder considering how it was packaged. Barely had any meat in the pot roast stroganoff. What was there was burnt. Tangler burger was overcooked and dry. Stick with breakfast Perkins. read more

Our young waitress was more interested in talking to the table next to us then taking our order. I got the turkey dinner. The turkey was fatty, gravy was bland, and the Mac n cheese was not edible. The vanilla milkshake was a joke. It was like drinking watered down milk. Not worth stopping here. The worst Perkins I have ever been to. read more

We arrived in Bristol at 8:30 p. Perfect place to grab delicious hot meal. Very quick. Very delicious hamburger and meat loaf. Large portions. read more

The waitresses here are top notch. Menu is extensive and the variety of people-watching is immense! We have always been treated well & every time we stop in we are treated like family. read more

IHOP, Denny's, Coco's, Norms.... Perkins is the same kinda thing if that's what you like. Great service!

Love this Perkins! Staff are wonderful and food is always fresh and delicious! We love coming here for brunch :)

Very clean restaurant!! Our waitress was super friendly and went out of her way to talk to my kids. Food was delicious! Will definitely go again!! read more

Nice waitress, the food was decent, and the variety of selections kind of surprised me! It was "free pie Monday" - didn't realize that was a thing! So, after my turkey and stuffing, and my son's chicken over rice with asparagus, we got slices of caramel apple and chocolate pie. Inexpensive and everything was fine. Who da thunk? read more

I arrived right after 6am when restaurant opened. I was the first customer of the day. I had to ask for the table to be wiped down as it was sticky, I had to wipe off my silverware with a napkin, and with my combo platter I got, everything was OK except my biscuits and gravy. They were barely luke warm. The coffee was good. I got the first cup of the day. The waitress was awesome. I've passed this place on and off for 20 years. I finally decided to try it. Don't know if I'll be back read more

Came here on Halloween, This was actually my first visit. I think the food was great ! The lay out of the resturant was also great. I enjoy resturant with more dim type lighting. Those lights above me were BRIGHT ! LOL ! But, The service was great and the chocolate chip cookies was delicious :) I will be back in hopefully and will recommend to my friends who are in the area. read more

Stopped off for a quick bite ... Amazing food! ... Got some breakfast at noon ... That's always a plus read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a claw machine and a friendly waiter. We had one sick member of our party, #Max, and we ordered him some toast. When the toast came out it had butter, however our friendly hostess graciously de-buttered for him. The skrimps were tasty as well as the buttered bread. Sprite was slightly too bubbly, but as there is no 4.5 stars we will let it slide. Cherry Pie is still on its way at the time of this review but we will give them the benefit of the doubt. Claw Machine seems to be rigged, fyi read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - Good times at Perkins! Want to shoutout my family, God, friends and colleagues who have all helped me get to this point. Thanks! - Bakeries Near Me - Kingsport, Tennessee

This is honestly my favorite breakfast place! Best breakfast in Kingsport TN by far. People are friendly and today my server, Connie was AMAZING! Thank you read more

Love this place, excellent service, wonderful restaurant and perfect food. I can't believe there's a restaurant in the tri cities that just flawless! Outstanding service from the moment we walked in and the time we left. We also bought a bear and the buy three get three. Wonderful deals on the whole menu, if you want to eat cheap look for the 'GP' on the food items. It's the cheapest stuff! read more

Open 24 hrs, 10% discount with Comfort Inn receipt. Very popular with locals. We had omelets and were completely satisfied. My monstrous blueberry muffin was presented to the table warm, and the coffee came in a pour-your-own thermal carafe (so convenient). Our service was friendly and prompt, even though the place was packed with diners at the Sunday noon rush. read more

Food is pretty good. Service was not. We ordered 2 extra texas toast & apparently they were made of gold. 1 child meal, 1 Turkey dinner and the bread.... over $30!!!! If I'm paying that, I'm going for a restaurant that has hospitality and is reasonably priced not profiling its customers during this covid restricted world. read more

Had the best customer service experience in this restaurant thus far, rachael was our waitress and she was so kind and make sure our experience was the best. The food was amazing and we barely even waited. Definitely worth it and recommend it 100% read more

This restaurant is great. The owner is always there greeting customers & asking if everything is ok or if you need anything. Most all the staff have been there for a long time so that's an indication it's well run. The food is good. The restaurant is super clean. Highly recommend. read more

Good food and equally good service. The one thing I usually like about chains is they can afford to spend the money to keep their places nice and clean. That is not lost on the Kingsport, TN Perkins Restaurant. Unlike many local eating establishments which are often run down and less than clean, Perkins is very nice. I can't wait to go back and try something new. read more

The food and service is always good. The bakery is a sinful pleasure! The staff is great and only 5 miles from my house!

This is probably the WORST place to dine in this area. I visited with my great aunt and mom when I was staying here over the Labor Day holiday. We had to wait in line behind some of the largest people I have ever seen. I thought this would be a good sign, but it wasn't. We were seated and our waitress just came, got out our drinks & left! She came back about 10 minutes later, as we were forced to listen to very VERY unruly kids and their absentee parents. There is nothing really good on this menu. I'm a vegan and it was very very hard to find something that I could actually EAT. I ended up ordering the spinach ( disgustingly flavored with margarine or something) a baked potato that looked to be about 5 years old , and a tomato soup that I had to send back it was so disgusting. Even my great-aunt said the turkey stuffing was terrible- and she likes everything! We go to pay for dinner and the cashier is spaced out, PICKING HER TEETH. By now , I'm totally grossed out, so I wait for my mom & great aunt to use the bathroom. Here come those wild, loud kids and passive parents. They proceed to run their toy cars into my feet, I get up to ask the parents what the hell, and they just laugh, so I walk out. This is the place to go if there is no where else available, you love hearing screaming kids, loud rednecks, and fat rude people. Otherwise, save your money, hit the freeway, and head somewhere else. read more

Very disappointed with their "fish". Staying home cooking frozen fish sticks would have been much cheaper...same thing!! Their chocolate eclairs were decent though, & our waitress was super friendly. If we ever stop there again, I'll probably just have a cheeseburger. Steer away from the captain's catch..NOT worth $12.00!! read more
