I brought my Fiancé & her kids & 2 other boys to Perkins. That's the 2 of us & 4 boys 12 thru 15. Robb was our server & he was great, he was patient & had a clever sense of humor, the boys loved him! The ambience is country Perkins style, the menu is more expansive than IHOP & the food was much better in my opinion. It's not a 5 star restaurant but I gave it 5 anyway because in its league it's the best! read more

There were only a few people in the restaurant when we went in, but we were seated quickly and our waitress came over right away. Our food order was put in and it came out quickly as well. Everything tasted delicious. The service was fantastic. Everything was clean and set up. We will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Tried this place yesterday with my sister and I loved it! I personally had a great experience here. The food was delicious. The turkey sausage was delicious and the scrambled eggs and hash browns were great! Just needed to add salt and some black pepper. The pancakes here are so good! I thought they were some of the best pancakes I've had in a long time. My sister ordered one of their seasonal items and wow it was amazing!! They were pancakes stuffed with cream cheese and it was delicious. The crispy tots are so crispy!! They were better than the hash browns so definitely order the crispy tots over the hash browns. The waitress we had was so kind and accommodating! She checked on us frequently and was so sweet Parking is pretty big so you should have no issue finding parking. It's a casual diner spot that feels cozy. I did go on a weekday so I'm not sure how this place is on a weekend, but on a weekday everything was great! It saddens me to see so many people have a negative experience here but personally I had a great experience! I hope that my future experiences here will always be great read more

To another Perkins? Yes, what drew us there? ...was convenience and a 10% coupon. Kathleen, our server, who had many miles of experience, took care of us. A very competent and sweet soul. I ordered an omelette w/various veggies and a mundane cupcake on the side. Omelette good, cupcake? you already know. My close friend ordered waffles w/bacon & scrambled eggs. All this with a carafe of coffee. The staff looked like they were short handed, like a few of them called in sick, cuz they were really moving fast and really.... it wasn't that crowded. As with most chains, they placate the children with crayons and a variety of placemats to settle them in, so that their parents/grandparents can catch up on the latest gossip and office talk. This branch is located just outside of Viewmont Mall, which has been around for over 50 yrs. read more

YOUR BETTER OFF GOING TO WAFFLE HOUSE!!!! My boyfriend and I haven't been to Perkins in years. We finally went and let me tell you...IT WILL BE OUR LAST. The food was not good. Eggs extremely runny. Sausage not fully cooked. My boyfriend threw up as soon as we pulled into our driveway. Lots of older sick people there as well while we were eating coughing everywhere. Not a very sanitized place as well. Like I said never again and save your money also your stomachs. Hungry Man Meal Triple egg dinner with French toast and pancakes read more

Omellete was small,probably only 2 eggs.Everything else was what it was.Probably better options out there.

excellent food and service!! really enjoyed the ambience created by the employees. my server Tina was amazing! Definitely recommend the French silk pie with a orange Fanta! read more

Great food and people at an affordable price! My wife and kids stopped here recently (we are in our 30s) and really enjoyed the relaxing soul food! read more

I travel to my hometown every other month and Perkins has become the place to head for a good lunch after running errands. Can't beat the price of 1/2 a sandwich, soup and a slice of pie. My usual is the BLT, tomato soup and French silk, but any combo is great. Service is always spectacular. Mixed it up last Friday with the fish/chips platter and was not disappointed. Bring your patience, as with every business, the place is short staffed, but the staff there is so great, and the place is clean! read more

Perkins used to be a Family favorite for years but unfortunately lately the level of care and cleanliness has taken an astounding 180. As I was visiting my family in Scranton we figured go to Perkins, a staple. A sure thing. I was wrong. There were lips marks on glasses and the dining room looked less than pristine. That wasn't the worst osrt of all unfortunately. My sister found a dead roach in her breakfast skillet. Thank goodness she looked before she took that bite. I'm absolutely mortified by this. They were nice enough to comp the meal but they didn't really have much of a choice. I'll definitely miss their baked goods. Watch your food if you decide to take the chance. read more

Our breakfast platters were terrific, with pancakes light, fluffy and buttery, and Kathleen was a perfect waitress - efficient, quick with refills and very warm and friendly. Thank you! read more

I've done what I was told with no response from Perkins. In the end they don't care about the place at all. If they did it would be clean. It's not like it happened overnight. Also the employees are horrible except for the waitress we had. SAVE YOU MONEY DONT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. read more

Waited 25 min to be seated and another 10 to place order. Still no food. Location should be closed if can't properly staff for customers.

The food was good, a little overpriced for what we got. Waitress was prompt but not very attentive, brought coffee but no cups. Lol Asked for eggs hard fried, got over easy,although they did replace with hard fried once we pointed it out. Not a 5 star diner for sure. As I said in the end the food was good. read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - A build a breakfast ,Decaf and regular coffee. Country skillet. - Bakeries Near Me - Scranton, Pennsylvania

No air conditioning restaurant not clean no social distancing very uncomfortable manager was absent lights not even turned on. waste of $30. They could have even opened the back door to bring the heat down. I would have sent the manager to Home Depot to buy a box fan, just did not care about customers. If the manager did not care then corporate is even worse. The waitress said it's been three weeks and you wonder why restaurant close or have no staff. Weirdly the food was above average. read more

Sorry to report, it looks like Perkin's keeps dropping it's standards. This was a new low. Very, very slow service, maybe short on servers but, as we waited 15 minutes for a coffee and soft drink, we overheard mixed orders, incorrect items, etc. The food arrived, average quality. On checkout the cashier have multiple problems with the scanning and processing. Enough, probably won't return. read more

I was excited to find this place since they aren't in Texas. I'd heard about Perkins since they donate so much to Give Kids the World. I enjoyed the atmosphere, reminded me a bit of Denny's. The selection of food was interesting and unique. Everyone else's food turned out really well. Unfortunately, my Granny breakfast meal was smothered in so much cheese sauce I could barely eat it. The manager took the time to come talk to me a minute after the waitress told him we had gone to GKTW on a wish trip. That was nice of him. Overall, the service was really nice and I would totally go back again, I would just make sure not to order the same thing. read more

I've been a fan of Perkins since I was a child and we stopped at one on a family road trip to the hideout in PA. I got the potato pancakes and that is all I have gotten since. They are fluffy and delicious and have ruined me to potato pancakes everywhere else. This is my first time at this particular location. Driving home from buffalo after a business trip for work I glanced longingly at the rest stop food signage for anything other than fast food. My eyes lit up in Scranton when I saw the Perkins logo. The thing I love the most about Perkins is they give you your own thermos of coffee. It stays piping hot and you do not have to stalk the waitress or waiter for refills. That and the cream pie make this a road trip heaven for me. read more

First off, if you decide to eat here you have to try the grilled muffin instead of toast. Tasted like a muffin flavored cookie. Yum! They cut it in half and Grill it. I wish they would have cut it in threes for more grilled flavor. The omelet my husband had, was missing cheese and the meet was burnt. My omelet was delicious but I asked for cheese on the "make your own". Stringy home fries were hard and crunchy but I was just happy they weren't under cooked. Service was good/fast. Waitress was zooming from table to table. Bathroom walls, doors and sinks could use a good scrubbing! Ewe! They are supposed to be white! read more

The food is very good My only complaint is that the cook got my eggs wrong but the server made sure that the order was right I had the waffle platter, enough food to feed a small army The food was served quick and hot. Also they give a pot of coffee so I did not have to wait for a refill read more

My friend and I wanted to grab an early breakfast on a Sunday morning and decided to stop by Perkins. We both decided to get the create your own breakfasts. I got eggs over-medium with hashbrowns, sausage links, and a side of pancakes. The food came out just slopped on the plate and did not look appetizing at all. I understand Perkins is no fancy restaurant, but I expected the presentation to be a little nicer. The eggs were underdone and the sausage links were cold. The pancakes were the best part. I am glad I ordered them, otherwise the meal would have been awful. Although I didn't enjoy my meal, they do have great prices. The entire meal was less than 10.00. That being said, sometimes you get what you pay for... About two minutes after they put our meals on the table, the waitress brought the check over. It just seemed like they were trying to rush us out of there. In my opinion, the overall experience I had with Perkins can use some improvement. I won't be rushing back here by any means. read more

I have been ordering pies here for my birthday for about three years. Today I went to pick up my pie and when it was time to serve it I opened the box and there was a cockroach on top of the pie. The whole thing had to be thrown away. The reason I am giving it two stars is because I called and the manager is giving a refund and a coupon for a new pie. Sadly, I won't be ordering another pie here again. read more

While not the best Perkins I have been to, it has been a solid choice for breakfast when we are in the area. The baked goods are superlative and the selection of breakfast options are good. The best part may be the view - looking out over the mountains around Scranton, so be sure to ask for a table by the window! read more

Basic American food cooked with care. Good taste at a reasonable price. Got to try other menus too.

Servers with no masks should not be allowed to work there. A thin bandana is not a mask, I'm surprised management allowed this. In addition, I saw people in the kitchen working with no masks. read more

Let's be serious for a moment. This is Perkins. You get the basics - - chicken, turkey, eggs, salad. Anyone that goes off the expected path, deserves what they get. Also, we cannot compare Perkins to a five star restaurant, because it is not. However, when comparing Perkins to restaurants similar in nature, it is up there at the top (I will explain why shortly). The service is very good. I have been to many Perkins on my travels. Service is usually very good. This visit, I felt like Iced Coffee. There is no Iced Coffee on the menu. The waitress quickly stated that she will get me some coffee and a glass of ice (I know that sounds like an "of course", "obviously" moment, but you cannot imagine how many times that has not happened to me). Well. A few minutes later, the waitress returned with the that large metal holder that is used to make milk shakes, filled with ice and coffee, plus a large glass with just ice. That was Amazing. The food. We had a salad, eggs and turkey. All were a-ok. Nothing was bad, everything was ok. The price is unbeatable. Now, for the single reason I continue to go back to Perkins on my travels. The chocolate silk pie. I just simply think that is the best tasting pie, hands down, and I eat a lot of desserts. I really love the taste of the pie. Here is the only problem I have with the pie. On my last 2-3 visits, I really feel like the slices are getting smaller. Other than the slice being too small, I simply love the pie and it is the single reason I keep going back to Perkins. In fact, sometimes I will simply go to Perkins just for a slice of the pie. read more

Perkins has really turned around in recent months. The food is coming out hot, fresh, and cooked well. Service is great. If you haven't been here in a while, you should give it another shot. read more

Got apricot salmon but instead they brought out tilapia. Waitress was nice an admired it was her fault. Food was good but not great, they did replace my fish. But no discount or nothing. Good place to get some food after dark. read more

We like to go to Perkins every once in a while for breakfast. We came Friday and it was just as good as normal. A little slower than we're use to but the food is always good! read more

So we got charged 20$ for 4 drinks 2 sodas and 2 large chocolate milks. So there is a platter for a waffle eggs and bacon or sausage for about 10$ so the kids ordered waffles with those items but they never said i want this meal they just said everything on it while reafing from its description so the fat blonde waitress decided im going to f these people over and placed our entire meal ad ala carte making the total go from 40$ to 75$. So yeah im pissed, if you get her as a waitress my advice ask for a new waitress. I sincinerly hope she gets fired. Sum it up as food okay, staff should go **************. Dont eat here let them go out of business. read more

While waiting for a take out order the waitress on duty decided to laugh at me as if I was doing something wrong. I placed my order and was very clear as to what I wanted. I was told fifteen minutes for my order. As I an a waitress and know how to place an order without there being any issues with any mistakes. After being here for 40 minutes and my order comes out WRONG. I was given the biggest attitude by the manager on duty as if I did something wrong. My order was very simple and direct, I paid in full for my order before receiving it and it was wrong multiple times. This will be the last time I come to this establishment for anything. read more

Yes, I also love their breakfast, especially the omelet and waffle. I saw many people order their pancakes, if u like , could try it! I order the steak as the entrees, I probably will not order that again:( Their waffle and omelet is the best, U can't miss it! read more

"Drinks?" "Just water, please." "Sure, is bottled water okay?" "Um, I guess so." No mention at any time that this actually means "is it okay if we charge you for a bottle of water instead of giving you a free glass of water like every other civilized restaurant in the country?" The waiter still got a tip, because I'm sure they force him to do this, but I have insufficiently large font with which to convey how unacceptable this is. read more

Good food, service was lacking and didn't get the best interactions... Will come back to give them another shot but was not satisfied with my experience read more

I'm not normally a fan of chains but they make good breakfast food. This location is the best of the Perkins restaurants in the area. The man who was my waiter was the most attentive waiter I've had in ages. I'd definitely go back. At least for breakfast. read more

This place is DISGUSTING. Do not eat here. I ordered a breakfast meal with sausage and a day later ended up in the hospital with worms in my intestines because of their uncooked pork. Seriously avoid this place. read more
