For YEARS, we've been passing Perkins during our travels saying, "We should try that one day." Well... that day finally came. We decided to stop in and see what all the Perkins hype was about. And honestly? It was just meh. Now, let me be fair..the staff was wonderful. Everyone was friendly, warm, welcoming, and inviting. The service was quick, prompt, and attentive. And the prices were actually pretty reasonable. But the cleanliness? Negative 5 stars! Baby... somebody needs to get a bucket, some disinfectant, and possibly a whole cleaning crew up in there. The walls need to be wiped down. The carpet was dirty. The salt and pepper shakers looked like they had been through some things. And the dessert case? Whew. That thing needs to be cleaned, replaced, or sent into early retirement. At one point, I was genuinely wondering, "How did this place pass inspection?" Because now I need to know what grade they got. Somebody pull that inspection report! Again, the prices aren't outrageous, so I guess you just say a little prayer before you order, hope for the best, and see what happens. Would I come back again? Probably not. Maybe Perkins was better in its glory days, but those days have gone bye bye! read more

Perkins is a pretty good spot for a pretty good price if you're looking for some classic American breakfast choices! I decided to order some traditional morning foods like eggs, bacon, hash and toast but couldn't resist their pancakes too since the FOMO would get me if I didn't at least try them. The inside of the place is cozy, lots of booths and table seating for small and larger parties. The bakery section seemed a little small, but had so many pastries available to try. Oh, and If you're a sports fan, they even sell merch for various teams in different varieties and sizes right next to the bakery and register. Overall, had a pleasant experience here. My only gripes are that service was a tad slow and my breakfast meal looked nothing like the picture on the menu (portion and quantity wise) but otherwise had a good time! read more

I love this place. The best breakfast around and the best turkey platter. I used to come for the pot pie meal deal with a side salad and pie but they got rid of the pot pies sadly, but I started getting the turkey platter, and it's so delicious. The staff are really good and on point with service and they are friendly which is good too! I'd recommend coming in for a quick bite, or a slice of pie. read more

breakfast wasnt good at all. grits were cold ,had to be reheated, 2 pieces, not 2 slices of flavorless bacon. The hashbrowns were horrible, like they were reheated from the day before with a bad aftertaste. they use to be golden brown a time ago, now just blackened. This place is on the breakfast decline, not sure about lunch and dinner, not sure i want to take the chance. Service was good. read more

Perhaps it was just this particular Perkins, but it does seem that this franchise is a poor man's version of the ubiquitous IHOP. It was hard not to notice an immediate disappointment moving from the beautiful menu photos to the presentation on our plates. From proud to defeated, boisterously sensational to meekly fallen, the reality fell far from the mark. Not that the french toast platter and quesadillas were without taste, but that they were not nearly as grand as advertised. The brioche thick slices absorbed the egg/sugar/vanilla mix, but not quite enough to overcome its dry core. The crisp bacon was not so, and the deflated quesadillas were so thinly filled as to believe the promised steak was little more than tender shoe leather. True, the hall was crowded, the prices quite reasonable and the coffee topped off in a thermos pitcher on the table. Kenny's service was friendly, clever and accommodating, but could not overcome the the tools he was working with. Perkins appeared to be an anchor of this Grant Avenue neighborhood in Northeast Philly. It should do something to assure that it does not contribute further to its distress. read more

I went to the perkins at 1600 grant ave around 1045am. I ordered the 55 plus breakfast one egg 2 pancake hash browns 2 sausage .I also ordered a ice tea. The meal was $ 8.79 the ice tea $3.79. The pancaked were barely warm the butter they had on them was not even melting, the egg was like a yellow stain on the plate cold, hash browns were so dry theu were like confetti you could throw them in the air and they were all loose and were ice cold. I could have gone to a diner 5 minutes away and got a real full breakfast for $ 9.99 .Perkins was almost $14.00 for cold horrible i shoveled it in and could not wait to get out of there. They should be ashamed for what they are charging and the food that comes out on your plate . I get a gallon of sweet tea ay wal mart for $2.98 $ 3.79 for a glass of ice tea at perkins. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! The waitress was kind it is not her fault. read more

Been along time since I've been to Perkins.. I've missed alot over time.. I have been impressed with their food for breakfast. About 15 to 20 breakfast specials. Every day. Comes with coffee. What I like hear. They bring the coffee in a thermos with an empty coffee mug. that you fill up the cup yourself.. something different than other places. but it does make it a lot easier on the server for when you need a cup of coffee you can just fill up again yourself. On weekday morning around 9am it's pretty packed... But that don't stop the great service and being seated with in 5 min of arriving.... I had eggs, potatoes, bacon, and toast and everything was very good. Parking is never a issue. Always plenty... I do wish their was more locations around. But won't stop me from coming to this one. read more

Meh. FIRST thing I noticed about Perkins was that it. WAS. PACKED. (insert hand clapping emojis) Noon on a Friday? Hold on to your hats boys and girls. Packed. We came in.....stood around for a while. They take us to a table, that wasn't bussed yet, so we stood around while they did that, then sat down and waited about, literally 15 minutes before a waitress finally made it over. We were fully ready to order by then, so we got that in right away. (Side note, I WILL give them credit for the menu. It's pretty expansive, and everything on it looked GREAT with the pictures they have. They also have a 55+ specials menu, which probably explains the staggering amount of AARP members filling every seat in the house.) My lunch buddy got waffles and eggs, and I got the Magnificent 7, which was 3 pancakes, 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon. It's $4.99 always at this Perkins, which is actually a plus. The food, which took FOREVER to come out, was good. Nothing Earth shattering, but it was a decent breakfast at a decent price. Our server was very nice, but she was either overworked or just aloof. She dropped our food off, said "I'll be right back with some syrup," then went away for 5 minutes. When she came back to check on the table next to us, we reminded her about the syrup, and she apologized for forgetting. The inside was clean enough, although the little specials placards at the tables were dusty and gross, and the jellies and sugars and what not were empty at our table. (again, our table hadn't been bussed before we were sat, so maybe that had something to do with it.) I would say that technically, its a 2 1/2 star experience, as this was about as middle of the road as you can get. It's a little far for us, so I'm not sure we'll be back if we get another craving for breakfast, but it's not like I'd AVOID the place either. read more

My first time eating here and was definitely surprised. I got uber eats instead of actually dining in. I don't live far so my food was still warm and fresh. The dish I got was the hearty mans breakfast and it was Sooo Yummy! Im so upset with myself for not eating here sooner. If the food was this good and it was delivered I can just imagine how it will be in person. I'll definitely be back for some more!! read more

Good food with many choices. Even when they're crowded out the door you still don't wait too long to be seated. The restaurant is clean and the waitresses are always pleasant. The prices are reasonable and you will usually end up taking home a doggie back. Definitely a come back restaurant! read more

I liked the "home"-y feeling in here. Even though it is a chain restaurant, it still has a family feel to it. Employees know customers by name. It's really nice. I always liked the breakfast foods at Perkins. I even had take out before and it was still good. I'd say it's slightly better than regular diners. This place didn't let me down. read more

As we were parking, we both questioned whether this restaurant was opened for business or not. Through the windows, it appeared dark and empty. To our surprise it was opened...and we were quickly seated. The decor was extremely outdated, service was extremely slow, and the windows were extremely dirty! My husband's club sandwich was good, my eggs/pancakes were okay....but while waiting for the check I discovered the untidy mess on the rugs, the filthy windows and quickly felt unsettled. This is not a good thing during normal times.....but during Covid times, this is unacceptable. read more

Take out was perfect. Staff are friendly, courteous and respectful. Never an issue when using take out .

No complaints. I went here for Sunday breakfast with the family. Wish I took some pictures because the ones on this site seem outdated. Restaurant was clean and service was excellent. I was greeted by almost every staff member that saw us. Food was great. Better than ihop imo. The only thing I didn't care for was the coffee but I'm a little picky when it comes to coffee. Still drank it. Had the country fried steak breakfast. It was great again, no complaints. We will come back again. read more

I have been to Perkins many times when I was young (in grade school) but haven't really been back since and decided to give it a try! I ordered a Create Your Own Breakfast (with scrambled eggs WELL, turkey sausage patties, crispy hash browns, and French Toast with Glazed Strawberries), Chocolate Milk, and a sugar cookie. The eggs threw me off guard for a minute, as they were more like strings rather than actual eggs. They still tasted good though! I'm not sure if all the eggs are like that, or only because I asked for the eggs to be scrambled well. I thought the turkey sausage patties were a little too dry for me, but I was pleasantly surprised that they gave me two (when the website mentions only one patty). I still only ate one patty since I was full and because I wasn't a huge fan of them. The hash browns were really good and they gave a decent portion! The French Toast was delicious and they gave me two slices, as well as the glazed strawberries/strawberry sauce to put on top (which put the French Toast from a 7 to a 9 out of 10!) Finally, the sugar cookie was okay, not the best. I was surprised since Perkins is also known to be a "bakery", but it was a very decent sized cookie so I was still satisfied with it. read more

5 stars because of Charles. Who is Charles?? He is the busser at this Perkins location. Why did I give this Perkins Restaurant 5 stars? It was definitely not the food. The server was great. Clean bathrooms. But 5 stars goes to CHARLES. I went in to kill some time. And I could hear someone greeting everyone! Going from table to table. Laughing. Telling his stories. Greeting each table. I thought for sure he owned the restaurant. Then I started hearing the other servers being upbeat, cheery, seeming to really care. Cheerfulness and good heartedness is contagious. It made me think that this world needs more of this. We need more people to be more human and care about strangers. I was a stranger there. I don't live in the area. But I felt like I had been going there for years by the way I was treated. Like I said , it was not the food that would bring me back there. It would be this lost art of making customers comfortable and welcome. Appreciated. Thank you Charles for being that ray of sunshine. You inspire me to be a friendlier person to strangers. Your attitude lifts up people's spirits. The world needs more of YOU!! I will make a better effort in my life to be more like you!! read more

Waitress was slow as molasses and was not attentive. Once the food did arrive it was disappointing. The bathroom was filthy. It's a shame this restaurant is in the neighborhood and convenient but really not worth the trip. I'm hoping they improve because I'm not giving up on this restaurant. read more

Great customer service!!!!! Terri and Kim the manager are the best.

I had never been to a Perkins, so I figured maybe this would be some type of enlightening experience. Well, it wasn't. It was like a watered down version of Ihop. I did not try the pancakes, but considering my company left theirs, I don't expect to go back to try them. I do appreciate that they have the kids free cookies on our way out. Not enough for a 2nd star though, sorry boo. read more
