    I had not been to a Perkins in over 27 years. I went because I had a discount code of $25, so it was a good excuse to come back. The restaurant is old and looks old. You can see it needs remodeling, besides that, it is a nice restaurant and the staff was very nice. I placed an online order. As I arrived a young woman greeted me. I let her know I was there for pickup and gave her my name. She let me know it would be a minute. I told her it was no problem; I got there a few minutes early. I went to the restroom and when I came out my order was ready. As I opened the bag, delicious smells came out and our food looked great. My Steak and Peppers Skillet was tasty, but a little salty for my liking. On the other hand, my husband's steak was perfect and the mashed potatoes were out of this world, wow! Greatest mashed potatoes we've had in decades. My husband said that even the broccoli was stupendous. Thank you Perkins for the discount code for my dinner and for having such wonderful and delicious food.

    My wife and I started our day with her doctor appointment then breakfast at Perkins on University Blvd. Our server,Mercedes, was excellent. Our breakfast was also excellent and filling. My wife had Build A Breakfast and I had the Classic Eggs Benedict. Again, I do not understand the low score but our breakfast experience was a solid 5. This was the start of our anniversary celebration. This place was close to my wife's doctor and a distance from our home but we will return.

    Half the granny omelette with substitute asparagus instead of potatoes

    Back to Perkins again! I love it here. Today I split the granny omelette with my mother and substituted the potatoes for asparagus. It also comes with pancakes! Great value for all that at $13.99. The servers here are always wonderful and it doesn't take that many visits to get on a first name basis with them. I usually stick to a morning visit as during the later hours there are less staff and it takes a lot longer to get your food when it's busy. Perkins has that family style appeal as well as for students who just need a quiet table to study and drink a lot of coffee.

    This was my first time eating at Perkins. I'm not normally a diner type of person but I wanted to try their bacon fest and new fall menu, so we gave it a try. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, and was very helpful when we experienced some issues. I ordered the steak (medium) and eggs (well done) with a side of the pumpkin pancakes and the breakfast potatoes. Unfortunately - what I received was a well done steak and very runny eggs, and the wrong side was brought (hash browns). I explained the situation to the server and she politely apologized and offered to bring me something else. I asked for a side of breakfast sausages and scrambled eggs. Unfortunately, when it came out, the sausage was half cold (like they didn't cook it all the way through) so I boxed those up and ate them at home. I will say though - the pumpkin and maple bacon pancakes were delicious. If I were to ever return or recommend something off their menu, it would definitely be those!

    Hadn't visited a Perkins in probably over 10yrs-- and this visit didn't disappoint! Visited for breakfast Saturday morning. Our server Will was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. A bit greasy buttt maybe a bit tastier too because it was nostalgic lol. My only real complaint would be that the restaurant is old and a bit run down; and it smells like -- I really hate to say it -- a nursing home :/. Just old and musty. BUT food and service were really good so I'd definitely be back again lol!

    The food here was delicious and the service was great too! The ambiance is nice, very nostalgic for me since I grew up going to Perkins. I hadn't been in a while but I'd definitely go back after this experience! It's not the fanciest or most delicious breakfast, but it's definitely tasty

    I've come to Perkins so many times over the years and ever since I moved to Orlando, it is strange that I hadn't left a positive note in regards to their food and service. The last time I came, I had some tea and a blueberry muffin. The waitress asked me if I had ever had it grilled, I said no, and she said "If you don't like it, it's on me". I don't do well being challenged, so I took it head on. It's me and my conservative a$$ versus a heathen grilled muffin. Bring it on! What can I say? She got me. The waitress won. I've never split a muffin in half and put it on a skillet, but I will forever do this from now on. It is that good. I feel so dumb for not having thought of it before, I don't even warm my muffins! I ate my grilled muffin, which was really good and fresh by the way, and sipped on my Lipton tea like if I was Sir Thomas Lipton. If you are old enough, you remember the guy in the Lipton tea box, he was like the Colonel Sanders of tea. Service is friendly, the place is clean, sometimes it is busy, sometimes slow, but you always get good service. Other dishes I've had here have always been good.

    Yummy!

I wish I knew his name, but I loved his service. The wine and the espresso martini were really good. My girlfriend, especially like the espresso martini and its blend of liquor with the tartness. In terms of the food, it was all really wonderful. The chicken and dumplings came with this delicious sauce that I couldn't get enough off. The potato dumplings were alright, but the seasoning and mix of the sauce was perfect for the chicken. The serving size was good as well and there was barely any bone to interrupt eating it. My girlfriend said that the steak was cooked perfectly medium as they asked. The steak sauce paired really well, and they had enough for leftovers, and enjoyed it even more the day after. The Mac & cheese was alright, we just wish there had been more of a crunch to the cheese. However, we both really liked the shape of the pasta as we don't really see those as often. Also not depicted here, but we got the cocktail shrimp. My girlfriend loved this one too, specifically noting how large and cold the shrimps were. The cocktail sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it, and definitely squeeze the lemon that comes with it on the shrimp. Since it was an anniversary, they surprised us with complimentary dessert that was phenomenal. My girlfriend doesn't really like cheesecake or coconut, but somehow loved the dessert. It's an off menu item but it blends coconut, cheesecake, and a brownie.

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

Loved the vibes too. Next time I go will definitely be to catch the live music. I've already recommended this place to friends.

The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.
