Perko's is one of my favorite breakfast spots in the Central Valley. The food is a bit above average diner food, but the customer service sets it above most. Nathan is my favorite server, he is funny and helpful. The ambiance is a bit nicer than your average diner along the 99. The coffee flows, the eggs are tasty, and I love their toast. The oatmeal breakfast is good, the skillets are bountiful, and the barn burner is my favorite. I have only been there for lunch once and I liked it, I really need to try their dinner. They have a good selection of food to choose from, but they keep it pretty simple. You will feel at home if you are a local or a traveler. You will find something you like here, so check it out. read more

Amazing service and the best crab cake Bennie I've ever had. Such a nice surprise while passing through Madera! We got here so late at night that I didn't realize I was in my old childhood best friend's town. I remember this placing being quaint and having good service so gave it a try. I regret that my man and I shared the breakfast since I get filled easy. Seriously. Also they treated us super nicely despite the fact we shared! read more

Love it here! Service has always been good, the servers/waiters are attentive. The food has always been good and I've never had an issue with a meal. The kids meal has a good selection for the kiddos and they work with you if you need to switch things around. I'll always pick Perkos over any other similar restaurant in Madera. read more

Amazing quality, reasonable prices and excellent service every time I've picked up or dined in. A favorite for sure!

Food and service is great! Love the variety of foods available. My mom and friends go once a week.

Let me start off by saying how fast we got seated, and our food, on a busy sunday. The guy who took our order was amazing. Very kind and attentive. He took our order and went to place it. My coffee came in but a younger female server brought it, and she brought two. I told her nicely that we only ordered one and an o.j and she said "the guy said u guys wanted two" so I kindly told her again "my husband doesn't drink coffee so therefore he asked for an o.j so would u be kind to bring us one?" And still insisted "the guy" said two. I told her "well please bring us an o.j no biggie". My point I'm trying to get across is that our waitress girl was really rude to us. But anyways my pancakes where so delicious, better than Denys and the omlete . We're from out of town but we visit often and we will try it again soon read more

First off, we where seated as soon as we walked in! The waitress asked what we wanted to drink before even seating down. Shortly after she came back with our drinks and took our order. The staff is absolutely amazing and super friendly!!! Although I mostly come for breakfast, the food is really good!! Great costumer service, delicious food, and highly recommend! read more

Perko's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Madera, California

Today was my first time at Perko's Cafe. My wife and I stopped there to have lunch. Seating and service was speedy, and our drinks were on the table in a matter of minutes. We both ordered burgers, which turned out nicely thick and juicy. The burgers were nicely appointed, as they came dressed with lettuce, pickles, and onion. The fries where tasty and more importantly, tasted fresh and not frozen. It was a little odd that forks were not set at the table, just spoons and knives. I will definitely be back to try some of the other menu items! read more

Please teach your staff to conduct HR matters privately, and not in front of customers. Your shift manager, a man in his late 20s to early 30s, on the night of November 1st fired a young mother of 3 children in front of your customers including my husband, me, and my children. How distasteful was that. To make matters worse, she takes her 3 young children out to the dumpster behind your shop crying where her 3 girls were trying to comfort her. Please give your staff proper training. Very unprofessional and distasteful. We will not be returning. Regretting the money we spent for dinner for a party of 6 that evening. read more

Great atmosphere. Staff is friendly Food was great. Just passing thru. Cya next time. read more

Perkos Cafe is the best restaurant in madera. 10/10 recommended their food is amazing

This place has gone downhill... too expensive for the food given, while we were there a manager maybe was berating a server in front of the customers. Not professional, totally uncalled for and just not cool. Won't be back read more

My husband took me out for lunch, service seemed a little sloppy today. We've been here before and the nice waitress we usually get wasn't there. I ordered the California burger and it tasted like I was drinking oil with my burger. I felt so sick told the waitress she just gave us a $5 discount. Feeling to the point of throwing up I felt like I shouldn't pay anything for at least my plate. My husband enjoyed his meal. I couldn't even finish it only took a few bits. We're not coming back here. read more

I love this place but wouldn't recommend the mac n cheese unless you like Kraft had higher expectations but the burgers are bomb !!

We moved out of town but whenever we in Madera we have to come to Perkos! Always clean, great staff and food is delicious!

Best customer service you can possibly get or ever expect!!! 10 Stars if I could!!! #DoorDash Keep up the good work!!!

I have came here before, long in the past, and I didn't have much to complain about. Unfortunately this last visit was completely unsatisfactory. When we were seated it took the server longer than most to even take our order for drinks. As we scanned the menu to figure out what we wanted we still had a long wait. When we ordered I ordered an "Ultimate Steak" omelet, but to my disappointment it was anything but ultimate. The egg for the omelet was overcooked, hard, and tasteless. The steak, suffered a hard cook by the chef, was beyond well done and chewy. The bell pepper and onion, which needed a simple sauté, were raw, crunchy, and big. Anyone should and would expect for the veggies to at least be tender and cooked right. This isn't a hard task. I was starved when I entered this establishment so I needed to eat something, since the omelet was inedible. So i moved on to the "Country Potatoes" that accompany the omelet. Needless to say, these too were a huge disappointment. The skin was burned they had ZERO seasoning and the actual potato was undercooked to where they were hard and earthy. So moving on to something that I figured might be edible, the toast, I was wrong to figure that. The toast was burned and didn't have much of any butter on it. Again needless to say I left this place disappointed and still hungry. I will not be returning here at all. It hurt to even pay for this meal, which the prices aren't very reasonable either. read more

Perko's never disappoints. Every time I've come here we get seated right away and get taken care of with drinks immediately. Staff is so friendly and attentive to our needs. Our waiter Nathan is the best. Thanks Perko's read more

We were taking the kids to the zoo on a spur of the moment road trip. The zoo was closing so we decided to get a room then dinner and try again the next day. Came across perkos and decided to try it out and I am so glad we did! Their service was a little slow but not unusual for as busy as they were. They really seemed to know and care about their customers. The food was amazing and the cook really knows how to cook a steak right! Everything was really clean food was great, next time I am traveling through I will definitely go back, all around good. read more

18 months ago I moved to Madera and I found Perko's the atmosphere was great and so was the food portion they served. Well this last visit was a take out and like always my family loves the chili verde burrito well we were horrified when we got home and opened the container to find a half the size burrito that had a lot of hard potatoes with no eggs or chili verde it just some chili verde on top of the burrito. We also had another entree that was missing a item that was part of the meal what I couldn't understand was the restaurant wasn't busy so the food nor the service shouldn't have been bad yet it was. I had to return to the restaurant for the missing food item I didn't find out about the size of the burritos until I return with the missing item I would have return all the food since I didn't get the quality of food for the money spent. I will have to rethink ever again purchasing take out from Perko's also the restaurant would have had a contact us email I would have sent them a email concerning this past experience. One star is the best they receive from me today. read more

Just had 7 meals delivered for a family Christmas dinner. The delivery was less than 30 minutes, the food was excellent, and they included extra condiments. Highly recommend! Great job Perko's and Merry Christmas to all of you! read more

Customer service was good, pick order was on time! However hash browns were way undercooked, and steak was too salty.. loved the pancakes though! read more

I have not been to a Perko's in a while. I moved and I do not have one nearby. I was in Madera and I thought this would be nice for lunch. Like I said it's been a while and I missed being called "Honey, Daring or Sweetie " by the staff. This restaurant was no different from the location that I normally went to for breakfast. Right away I was called "Honey " by the server. The food is good old comfort food with a smile. This location is in Madera (small town) they just move a little slower naturally. read more

Staff does not wear masks even though they are mandatory now. They are not following CDC guidelines. Visit at your own risk!

Never had it before all my years of loving on madera and my husband picked to eat here so we had it delivered and it wasn't great. Everything was so salty pancakes were sad talk About a joke. Couldn't even get Mac n cheese right for a kids meal read more

This place I come often it's one of our favorite places of all here in town I love the coffee it's delicious and the food is great no matter what we order it's super good and the staff is amazing.my family and I love it read more

I felt really bad for our waiter, most of them were younger kids and this place was super busy on a Sunday morning. I had eggs Benedict, the sauce was okay but the muffins were burnt and the ham was cold. The hash browns were soggy. The strawberry lemonade comes in a huge jar with lots of strawberries though. Some of the girls that work here are snobby, I asked for a box was told yes only for her to turn around and clean the entire drink station and counters before grabbing a box so I could leave. Another strange thing, there were bell peppers on both of our plates(even though there are no peppers in either meals) which tells me they used dirty places, a dirty knife or utensil or cutting board which is a big no no because of food allergies. read more

The serving sizes here are enough to Perk you up! I ordered a basic bacon cheeseburger and curly fries and was amazed at how many curly fries and how big the hamburger was when it arrived. The service was a bit slow from time to time, especially with getting our check and paying, but all in all it was a great lunch experience. Fresh, tasty food, quality serving sizes, and a fun atmosphere. read more

The waiters are very friendly and the food is usually good. Overall a nice place to go

We decided to try it never been to this 1 before, we tried all the restaurant that night but it was the high schools graduation & everything else was packed. So I ordered the chicken and mushrooms It was good but way to much Garlic it drowned the chicken, the girls we're fast with taking our order & coming by our table to see if we needed anything, we ordered a appetizer & they brought it to us with our meal so we couldn't even finish all our food. Then we ordered pie I was thinking homemade & no it wasn't you could tell it was store bought but all & all Service was great & if I get passed the garlic my food wasn't bad. I would come back but order something else. read more

Try the chili verde burrito. It's quite delicious. I get it everytime. When I can afford it. So hardly ever. But when I do, it's quite delicious. read more

Hubby and older son had eggs n bacon and pancakes these pancakes were the best we have had great flavor . Younger son had chicken fried steak the kid cleaned his plate ! Easy access off the 99 and we could park with our trailer no problem. Our waitress was Margarita she was so nice . read more

Ho-hum - EXCELLENT as usual. In my view, Perko's (Madera CA) holds a secret. You will enjoy their cheerful and efficient service, several of whom are family members, and some who have been there longer than the age of some of these adult readers. These folks put out the very best Fajitas in the Valley, despite the fact that this is generally considered a contemporary family food spot. And I eat a lot of Fajitas. Love their roasted jalapenos, as well (Chilis Toreados, but just say "Roasted Jalapenos.") My wife and I just enjoyed two home delivered Fajitas dinners; we are among the many sequestered during this Asian Cooties season. The meals were still warm and, as always, over the top delicious, with generous proportions. Fresh fixin's, cooked just right, and something you need to try! - John C. Clark read more

If you have any experience with chain diners, you will be neither pleasantly surprised nor disappointed. Food was pretty good, but nothing on the menu jumps out as a must try. I settled on chicken fried steak which was done well, just not in that genuine hand made way you have a chance at getting in some local greasy spoon. That pretty much sums up the experience on all fronts. read more

Perko's has been a staple in madera for years. The service is always friendly. I try to eat breakfast here at least twice a month. The food is always great. I have never had bad food or service here. read more
