Staff was very nice. The service was reasonable given the crowd. Bathrooms and dining room were clean. Food was as expected. read more

Perkins American Food - Corned beef hash. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Joseph, Missouri

Got sat out of the general public's sight for one thing, waitresse must be having a bad day. Took to long to take drink orders and took forever for food to show up. I'm sorry this place has went downhill since a year ago. read more

This is the third time I have tried this place and it is the third time my order was messed up. I am not sure if they don't know English when someone says over medium or sunny side up for eggs it means it has an egg yolk. Or if you ask for crispy hash browns it doesn't mean still cold and white. I also thought the vast majority of people use syrup for their French toast and pancakes but I guess I am wrong. I understand why there is not many people in this place cause if you try to order something or call to complain you might want to have a lot of free time as nobody knows how to answer the phone. So roughly $130.00 later and an upset stomach I have learned my lesson. read more

Food came on cracked plates, meat wasn't fully cooked, only one soup available, out of everything, empty seating, dirty dishes still on other tables from time we got there to time we left, soup came out cold. Fries cold. Slow SLOW service. Had customers waiting to be seated and nobody came to serve them so they all left (20) people. Literally nobody new came in the whole hour we were there. The waitress asked if we wanted our first refill when she handed us the check. Jesus. Awful. Don't go to this location. Staff don't give two hoots. read more

Food was just ok, service was questionable at best. Server seemed to cater to regulars more than people that just go now & then. Place wasn't as clean as it should've been & heat was turned up extremely to high. I wasn't impressed & probably won't give them another try. This has happened before there. Apparently regulars tip better or so they think read more

Service was extremely slow. And the food was awful. I got the fish and chips. The fries were cold and tasted old. And the fish were 3 nuggets. I rarely rate less than 3 stars and if I could give zero I would. read more

We stopped here on our way past traveling. At first glance it could use a good deep cleaning. The view in the kitchen, stuff on the floor and one lady was cleaning out the pie case. Once we overlooked that we had a very friendly waitress named Amber who was prompt and helpful. Our food was PIPING HOT & very good. Checkout was also prompt & quick. Would eat here again. read more

Food was good although it seemed like it took longer than usual. Service was mediocre at best , I had pancakes and asked for extra butter more than once and never got it. I went to the restroom and came back to find out they removed the dirty dishes and even took the spoon for my coffee that I wasn't done with yet. read more

Worst service I've seen in a long time. Seemed to only have one woman working and she couldn't be bothered to refill drinks or finish taking our order. She mixed up our orders on tickets and got an attitude when we asked for a refill. JUST RUDE AND FULL OF BAD ATTITUDE! We will never go back. read more

We went in at 11:25. Waitress was obviously not happy to see another customer. Placed our drink order. She came back and told us that the manager wanted to let us know that the restaurant closed at midnight. Obviously didn't want to serve us. We left and won't be back. read more

We used to like Perkins until this morning it should never take half an hour or more to get food out but you guys won that contest will never come back read more

Oh my gosh, we waited at our table for 45 minutes b4 our meals were served. Then the food was served, not good at all. I do not recommend this place and save your money go somewhere else. read more

Stopped in while traveling with the family. The staff is very friendly. The food was so so, the fruit on the blueberry pie may have fermented and the restrooms not only need a deep clean but also possible that the urine and feces smell coming from the bathrooms will not come out with a clean. The restrooms are located at the front doors and near the register so the smell will hit you several times throughout your visit. It is nauseating. read more

A solid American standard. Plenty of choices to please everyone. Good breakfast place.

It was terrible didn't get her food until five minutes before 10 AM because they closed at 10 o'clock our food came out it was cold

We met family for breakfast at this location. The food was very good, service was attentive and all meals were delivered as ordered. Our group of five was seated at a round table near a large doorway leading into the smoking section. Having a smoking section in this proximity to the non smoking area is similar to having a peeing section in a swimming pool. read more

Disappointed !! Traveling across the country and we have come to rely on Perkins for good food and friendly service. As well as clean restrooms. This Perkins had none of these. Our waitress was the " trainer " and I was surprised at how unfriendly she was. Maybe a bad day? We had so many other choices and wish we had picked some place else. read more

When the cook Jet is on duty, my steak comes to the table perfect every time.. not to mention there's no egg shells in my eggs like past experience. he is very friendly will come out an make sure your happy with your food.. now my service experience is excellent when I have the girl named Shay, I have had other waitress an they suck! it's amazing how one girl can get my order right an refill my glass making sure I have everything I might need, an the other waitress can't take an order, can't refill a glass, not to mention you can hear them talking about oh I'm outta here I'm not staying ive been here long enough.. not to mention the profanity used by the other waitress, I have yet to hear Shay cuss she is very professional!! I will keep coming back because of Jet an Shay treating me so good!! Good staff makes a restaurant it's not just the food. Shay should teacher other girls how to waitress an Jet should educate the cooks how to cook a steak medium well an how he don't drop egg shells in the eggs!! read more

We waited about 20 minutes to get our food and when it came out, we didn't get our pancakes. The waitress said she would go check on them, but instead stood around talking. She never came back to check on us. We never got our pancakes even though the people who came after us got their pancakes. read more

Ive been here a few times and choose it over Dennys. There were 5 of us and we were starving. We waited 55 minutes to get food at 6pm on a saturday with maybe 15 customers in the resturant. The cook and manager were in the kitchen fighting, which could clearly be heard. The waitress came to our table and explained how the cook walked out. I get that things happen in the restaurant business but your customers dont need to hear about it. We already heard the cursing. Very inappropriate. The waitress never even asked if we needed more to drink when clearly, all of our cups we empty. A couple walked out after 45 minutes of no food. I ordered a turkey dinner for $11.95 and it came with one piece of turkey lunch meat. I asked for little gravy and my plate was covered in gravy, even on the bottom. Very poor customer relations and service. Needless to say, they lost out on business. Onto the next place. read more

Good food but horrible serving workers! I really enjoyed their hot chocolate and I really loved their muffins it's a good place to eat breakfast read more

Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Food was delicious and cooked thru. The coffee, though, tasted like they filtered it through their socks. Our waitress made sure our order was correct. But it felt like it took forever to get our food and there weren't that many people in the restaurant. read more

I love the personal feeling I get when me and my family visit. Absolutely love the servers. We've found this a perfect place to eat after church. We'll be back...over and over and over read more

Went in at 3 am for my pre marathon breakfast. Had the blueberry pancakes and they were very tasty. This is a good place to eat in the middle of the night in St. Joe because there isnt much else open. The service was good, and the prices were right on. Nice Job Perkins. read more

I don't know if I will be going back to this place. My friend and I walked in at around 9:30 PM on a weeknight and stood at the front for about 5-10 minutes before an employee finally saw us and seated us. Our drink orders were taken in a reasonable amount of time, but it was a little slow getting our meal orders in. The food came out a bit slow but was correct. The server only came and refilled our drinks one time only long after my friend and I were finished with our first drinks. When she notcied this and appraoched our table, she flippantly told us "wow, you guys got seated all the way over here (meaning far away from her other tables which I found odd) and I completely forgot about you!!" I found this not only unprofessional, but a bit insulting. She finally brought us the check after a while longer, but it took a solid 30 minutes for her to come back and run my friend's card after giving us the check. It took my friend hailing the server and saying "hey we're ready to pay" for her to finally come back and run his card. The server flippantly told us when she came back to run the card, "oh I'm sorry I'll take care of that right now! I'm not very good at this serving thing." I found this highly offensive. Both my friend and I work at a different restaurant in St. Joseph and we weren't at all impressed with our server's attitude and work ethic. The food was good and I like that the place is open late, but the service I received did not come close to meeting the standard that I expect of restaurant service. read more

On my way to Omaha and stopped here to get something to eat, the restaurant was nice but the food was not all that great. The waitress was sloppy and not very well dressed. Will not stop here again. read more

Last time I went there there were two guys arguing about whose Confederate Flag tattoo was better. That was in 2012, maybe the clientele improved but I'm not gonna risk it. Food was ok, the pie tasted like a friend's grandma's homemade pie that you like but also it tastes weird but you dont wanna be rude. read more

This is the worst Perkins I've ever been in. It smells like dirty used grease. The restaurant was old & needed cleaning. The manager stopped by to ask how things were, but she didn't seem to want to know. Our meals were luke warm at best. Half of the grapes in my side of fruit were bad. We were tossed our check & not asked if we wanted dessert. The smell was so bad, though, my apetite had been ruined. read more

Eat here often. Sometimes food is a little slow coming but always good. Waitstaff is always friendly. In our top 5 breakfast locations in St. Joe. read more

The server Deborah chatted with her family or friends for about 10-19 minutes when she was supposed to be bringing our food. Food was okay so I will add one star. But overall service was not great. read more

They were. It prepared for Mother's Day rush. Very under staff. Took 1.5 hours to 2 hours on our food

The best place to find breakfast - or any food - in this town. Very professional staff, excellent food. If you get on the birthday list, they'll send you coupons every month to encourage your business. Who could ask for more? I am thankful we have a Perkins in St. Joseph! read more

Unbelievable!!! Tried to take my newly arrived (international flight), family here for their first in the U.S. dinner after picking them up from the airport at about 9:00 PM on Wednesday night & guess what?! While the place was open, there were NO SERVERS to wait on the tables!!! The customers there were looking around like WTF! where's the service?! The cashier was totally discombobulated and could/would not assist in servicing the many existing tables and many arriving people for dinner. Even the cooks and dishwasher were standing around looking like 'what to do?'. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! Apparently the ONLY on-shift server that WAS there, quit and walked out on the spot right in the middle of service! The ONLY SERVER? For dinner???!!! WTF??!! Can you blame them? I could do a better job of managing and runnng this restaurant! This place is in need of SERIOUS restaffing in management and retraining in all staff. Call me. I'm available. I'll FIX IT!!! read more

Usually like perkins but this one in particular was pretty bad. Very slow service when it was not busy at all. Food was nasty. They were all very nice just incompetent. I usually tip 20% or more. I tipped 10%. Hope the coconut cream pie i bought for my dad is better than everything else read more

DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY HERE! The service was absolutely horrible as was the food. The staff seemed completely incompetent. The food took over an hour to get to our table and when it did it was cold. Waitress had a very poor attitude. NEVER GOING BACK! THE PLACE IS A COMPLETE JOKE! read more

On way back home to Nebraska and stopped here to get some breakfast. There was barely anyone here and I still had to wait 10 minutes till I was seated. Had to wait 30 minutes for food all I ordered was toast and hashbrowns. Found out that they severely understaffed. read more

I went there on a Monday late morning/early afternoon. There was a fair amount of people there, but not overly crowded. We were seated right away, and then we waited and waited and waited. Finally our waitress came by and said she would be by in a minute to take our drink order, so we waited again. We finally got our drink and food order taken. We got our drinks in a fair amount of time after ordering them, our food was another story. We finally got our food after close to an hour! There were only 3 of us, and we didn't order anything complicated or elaborate. When I asked the waitress about it she said that our order is next, the "chef" was setting up the egg poaching station. I make poached eggs at home with boiling water in a pan, not difficult, and not a lengthy process. After our food came the waitress pretty much ignored us, and then I got sick afterwards. Bottom line: Poor service, long wait time, and bad food. read more

I have been to numerous Perkins restaurants, and make a point to visit one in any town I find myself working in. I have seen some great examples and some poor. Not really sure where to put this one. I have eaten at this location three times on this trip. Twice at night, once in the morning. The first visit was during the evening and was great. Good service, the waitress was above par, and the food was on point. The second visit was in the a.m. and, although very busy, my coworker and I left happy. Last night, a Friday evening, was in complete contrast to the previous visits, and blew my mind. It was painfully obvious the B team was on the clock. There was a guy wondering around the restaurant (maybe an employee off the clock?) talking loudly, using profanity, seemed to be interested in one of the waitresses, and worst of all, sat in the booth behind my table and seemed to be having a conversation about having "the shit run to the house for cash", whatever that may have been. After I sat for almost ten minutes, the object of his affection finally approached our table and asked if we'd been helped yet. Five minutes later we get the drinks (I asked for unsweetened tea, got sweet) and a different waitress. We ordered and waited. Ten minutes later, the waitress comes out to tell my coworker that there's no pasta available and suggested a different meal choice. The only thing wrong with my meal was that I hate pickles, and the requested omission of the pickles were ignored. Meanwhile, the restaurant is chaos. Same guy loitering, and an off duty waitress had joined the fray with loud complaints about a day manager and her pay rate. There were probably 50 tables available in this place, yet everyone was sat right on top of each other. Why?! Once I had finished my cheeseburger, I decided to get a muffin to go. When I asked a waitress, that actually stopped by our table to ask if we were doing ok, for my selection, she seemed put out, said "I guess so" and walked towards the kitchen yelling for who had our table, lol. I realize it's not easy to find folks willing to work evenings, but there needs to be more professionalism and discipline in this place at night. Like I said, two out of three times, during the day, this location was on par. Friday the 13th was not a good night for this location. read more

Terrible service, cold food. Took over an hour for breakfast, and they ran out of biscuits... really???

Ate there once on our way to KC and other places then ate there again on our way back. The waitress The pancakes were black on the bottom so we asked for new ones. On the way back we stopped for lunch and the salad I ordered was supposed to have feta cheese and glazed pecans. It didn't so when I mentioned it to the waitress she sat down in our booth next to me and gave me a limp explanation. In the past when we have stopped there the food was good. This time it was mediocre. read more
