    Saddest looking scrambled eggs I've ever had!
    Deborah S.

    The eggs ,turkey sausage links and scrapple were all horrible. The topper I ordered 2 breakfast meals and they forgot one! Ridiculous! I will never order from them again.

    Good place for breakfast or lunch. The Our server Janiah was super sweet. Would recommend if you looking for something easy & fast.

    I can't get over how Perkins nails delivery every time. NAILED IT. Since March and the beginning of the apocalypse, we've ordered at least five times. We've not jumped around the menu too much. I will give props to the chicken and biscuit breakfast. I'm not a biscuit nor a gravy person, but that dish is pretty darn tasty. Love the waffles, brioche french toast and the hot cakes. We've tried the corned beef hash, and omelettes and have yet to have a bad meal. Even the orange juice is so addictive I've started buying it for home again. We tend to over order and have leftovers the next day. Even their eggs are absolutely delicious on day two. I've had to lessen my distaste for chain joints over the last year, and this one has won me over. My arteries hate you but my love of tasty tidbits applauds.

    Clean and quite place to start the beautiful day. No rush, no loud music, everything is going smooth there in the early morning. Got the "everything" for my first visit here. The entree's with variety of veggies like onions, green pepper, potato etc. that's why called "everythingTotally are good, especially the lady served us this morning. Good breakfast restaurant in the Newark area.

    I had a really great brunch at Perkins. Tristian our waiter was amazing and he handled all of his tables equally. Tristian was very polite, and our food came prompt and hot. I ordered the hearty healthy omelet with a side of avocado, while my bff ordered grits hash browns and pancakes. We both loved our food and will return for my next visit to Delaware. There was a big crowd to match with all of the flavorful delectable options. There were also many pie options. I spotted a coconut custard that looked soo delicious.

    Perkins is a gem. I've never had an entree I didn't enjoy. As one review put it, it's ihop on steroids, And unlike IHOP the food always tastes fresh. It's the closest thing to grandmas cooking you'll get as far as breakfast goes. I highly recommend trying their muffins, my favorite is the lemon poppyseed. For the price and quality it's definitely worth a try!

I enjoyed the bacon and cheese potato kegs. My wife and I split the BLT and grilled cheese. Hers came with a side salad mine with shoe string fries. My son has the salad. Salmon was very good, it was vodka cured; bloodline and skin removed (+++)! Grain was pretty busy for mid-afternoon on a Sunday. Modern pub/ sports pub feel. Phillies game on the TVs. Music playing. Service was OK. My one pet peeve is allowing servers to leave dirty dishes and empty glasses on the table. And our server, although attentive, did not clear any dishes or glasses. Thank god I don't have epilepsy, the light over our table kept blinking non-stop. Plenty of off street parking for patrons. Lots of varied seating, both indoor and outdoor. See warning sign in my pics (haha). As far as prices, they are in line with any other places, as far as these other reviews that said it is excessively expensive, not true. Lunches are $15-20. Apps are a little pricey. Nice beer selection in the $8 ish range. Forgot I wanted to get a pan dessert, next time. I paid using InKind and got a nice discount.

Not surprising, as on holiday weekends most students go home so the town isn't crowded like a usual week. Service was friendly, fast and attentive. Everyone's meals were very good, except for mine. I made a bad choice. Skip the hot honey chicken over donuts brunch item. Its nothing more than 3 chicken fingers over what tasted like a couple of dry entemann's donuts. (Missed opportunity..theres a greta bakery across the street..should get fresh glazed donuts from them. The donuts ruined the dish. Other meals were very good. Easter quiche special with hollandaise sauce and fried potatoes was delicious, although the size of quiche slices was kind of small. Burrata avocado toast was great, and so was their cheese omelette. It was perfect dining for us as we didn't want a heavy, upscale meal at 1:30 in the afternoon. Will definitely come back next time we are in town for dinner and drinks.

The food was awesome ...perfectly cooked, fries were great and that milkshake was drink with a spoon thick. When I asked for a glass of water our server apologized for not asking me if I wanted one earlier ...no need to apologize but that's top notch service. An absolutely fun place to eat classic fast food at a reasonable price!

    I recently dined at Taverna and had a genuinely pleasant experience. I'll start with the service…read more The waiter was attentive throughout the evening and he paid special attention to my shellfish allergy. Also, if you've read my prior reviews, you know I always want my water glass filled and the waiter made sure that was the case. It's a small detail that added to the overall comfort of the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a relaxed setting for dinner. The food was well-prepared and flavorful. The veal meatballs were tender, the olive oil and sun-dried tomato dip for the bread was unique and yummy, and the mushroom agnolotti stood out as especially delicious. In fact, I can't wait to go back and have it again. Also, since it was Valentines weekend they added a cute little lips design on top of my drink. Another memorable touch was the mini firework placed on the butterscotch custard to celebrate my birthday. It added a bit of fun to the end of the meal and made the occasion feel special. My partner had the cannoli for dessert and it was definitely enough for two! Overall, Taverna delivered a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would be happy to return.

They sell a lot of their own merch so that's what you first see when you walk in. They have a bar area as well. The dining area towards the back is very spacious. And they have seating to accommodate small-large groups. The dim lighting adds to the calm vibe of the restaurant. The service is so fast. I feel like every item came out so quickly. And the servers checked in pretty frequently to clear the table, ask you if you need another drink, dessert, etc. it did feel a bit rushed. As a starter they give you their Ciabatta bread and the sun-dried tomato oil. The oil was DELICIOUS. I literally bought a jar to take home. For my drink I got the Fresca. It was good, very refreshing. For my entree I got the Linguini & Clams. It was good, could've used a bit more salt but the sauce was good. For desert I got the boozy affogato and it was delish. Would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area.

It was less a sauce and more of a discolored lumpy paste. The dish./meal was cold in some spots and hot in other spots - the shrimp was rubbery - so it was obviously microwaved. It was not made fresh. It was absolutely disgusting. Over all, it felt like an insult - uneatable and unpresentable. Whomever cooked it should be ashamed to allow such a dish to go out into the dining room. It was completely unacceptable. I had been to this restaurant a few times before as my wife likes it. My only other problems were that they occasionally served cold french fries. I am done with this place. I had originally heard that the people who opened it were part of a group that had successful restaurants and cared about serving good food. It is not that now. Until I hear otherwise, I will never return... not even if it were free. The waitress said she'd get the manager - but the manager never showed. I did not have to pay for the Cajun Pasta...
