Good service and my guy loves your nachos! My roast turkey was more like lunch meat! I would have preferred to have roast turkey, like in your menu picture and the description on your menu! Other than that the restraunt gets 4 stars! read more

"Roasted" Turkey. I've seen this on their menu during breakfast visits aand always wondered if they really had carved turkey available upon request/year round. I recently ordered it via Grubhub because baby and I were sick and wasn't up to cooking. They do NOT have it available, instead they sent grilled turkey deli slices. I was absolutely disappointed and upset! Why not say it's not available so I could've ordered something different?? Crappy dinner on top of an already crappy day. Thumbs down! read more

It is very rare to find a restaurant this excellent and with a menu choice so extensive with so many choices it is hard to pick just one! But the waiters and waitresses were great and the food so excellent we couldn't wait to come back. And we did three times in two days! Plus we got to cater two meals out to our entire Race Official staff at the track across the street. Rarely is anything totally eaten with this team, but these 2 meals were!!! Great job Perko's. Can't wait to come back here. BNK 177 read more

Always great food and amazing service . The ambiance is always uplifting and friendly service

This place is dirty, I understand carpet is old but should be kept clean! Food very disappointing!

We were in Madera, CA at lunchtime. We were hungry and had never been in Madera before. Fast food seemed like an unpleasant but logical choice. However, we passed this interesting looking eatery that had "Farm Fresh" on their signage. It looked decent and there were lots of cars in the lot. We quickly looked them up on the internet and saw a few good reviews. We were sold! As we walked in, we immediately knew we had made a great decision. The service was fast, courteous and very helpful. As a matter of fact, our server 'Tommy' was incredible. Even the near immediate coffee was good and fresh. The food, for two traveling NY'ers, can only be summarized as fuggedaboutit! it was so good. We had burgers which were amazing but it was the onion rings which stole the show -the best ever! We cannot recommend this restaurant more. read more

Great service, great food everything on the menu is delicious. My mom likes the clam chowder sandwich combo!

Restaurant was super busy on a holiday weekend however we were seated quickly and ordered shortly after. They kept the coffee coming and breakfast was good too! Definitely a local favorite judging by the crowd of people waiting to get in. Happy to get a good breakfast after a weekend of camping. read more

We travel thru this area often and always looking for a good place for breakfast. Well, we found a great one! Perko's was awesome! From the time we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. Everyone there seemed to be focused on "friendly customer service. Everything we ordered was delicious! The Chicken Fried Steak was one of the best I've ever had! You could easily cut it with a fork. The hash browns were nice and crispy . When in the area, you can bet I'll be eating there again! read more

Great food and the waitress was amazing. Very attentive and funny! Order the steak special and was not disappointed.

Great Food , Great Service very friendly Very clean I would recommend to anyone . Very convenient location . read more

And just like that, 5 star's are back! I love Perkos! This Madera institution is a must go to when in the area! Great staff and great comfort food. On this visit, I had the chicken fried steak with egg's and hash browns. All seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly. Coffee is bottomless! Oh and sweet cream pancakes. Just sweet enough where you don't, necessarily, need syrup. Staff is attentive without being intrusive! Highly recommend going in. Having food delivered is a hit and miss. read more

Awesome chicken fried steak!!! Great service and friendly love how nice everyone is. read more

Worst food I've ever had. I'd rather eat used razor blades. Go to ihop down the street if you're looking for a good breakfast. For lunch I'd go to Fury. Best chicken sandwiches in the valley read more

Very cute cafe country style cooking nice cafe to stop and grab breakfast lunch or dinner

The place smells like sewage. Food is bland and messy. We sent our food back . The waitress was super friendly only+

This place does not care for delivery drivers, the orders will sit behind the counter ready for up to 20 mins+ and the staff does not care how late we are or even acknowledge us, many times I've had to ask for help just be be given dirty looks! Wish the staff cared about the drivers just as much as any other valued customer. Needless to say, if you are doing a pick up for DoorDash or Uber, expect long wait times and check behind the counter, chances are your order is ready and just sitting there. read more

Few things: ***Nathaniel: he's the man. He's lively, connected, and energizing to be served by. He shared about the Chile verde (see below), and a little about the surrounding areas. He's a human I'd want to be friends with after having met. Thank you Nate, you're awesome. ***chile verde: this is bomb.com I'd consider myself a Chile verde human (try it everywhere) and low and behold this was so delicious Chile verde. What makes it good? Solid chunks of pork where the fat has liquified and you're just left with a savory spoonful of tangy rich and velvety deliciousness. This was amazing. If you're not feeling a full meal, ask for a side, it was 3.99 and TOTALLY worth it. Thank you for filling our gluttonous bellies as we make our drive back to the SF. See y'all soon, Kyle "I Chile Verde" Edquist read more

Our server was rude for no reason. He has been employed there a while, and every single time he comes across confrontational. My husband just had a question and he raised his voice at him. He needs to be sent to an etiquette class. He doesn't work at a prison read more

I ordered the ultimate dip sandwich with onion rings. I would rate the sandwich a 4 stars as it tasted decent and decently proportionally sized. The onion ring on the other hand missed the mark. It wasn't crunchy and tasted more battery than I would've liked. Other than that, the service was okay since it took awhile for us to get seated when it didn't look too busy, although we did have a large party. read more

Amazing!!!! The food is good. The service is great but the best is the quality of the food it was fresh. Thank you guys for being here.

Went here today with my family. Awesome and very attentive and polite staff. Coffee and soda refills as soon as the drinks began to look lower without even having to ask. Very attentive from start to finish. Good really good specially for the price. Place seemed clean as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Had someone to make a take out order for me just what I wanted Biscuits and gravy .and And could not believe inexpensive it was and it was so flavorable. I love the gravy it was the biscuits was a bomb so filling for under $5.00 unbelievable love it !! read more

All American diners aren't as easy to find but this one is full most of the day because it towers over the competition in town. We have plenty of good diners but this one is THE BEST. American breakfasts are our gift to the world and Perko's is gifted with breakfast! Go early, be comfortable, and ask the staff. This family owned business takes great pride in your experience! read more

Great breakfast, service, and serving portions. Hard to find parking. Definitely a top spot in Madera

In all honesty, the only reason I had never been to Perko's before was because of rumors of poor service. However, I discovered the menu online and visited the Madera location with my family. It was a weekday evening, Zulema was polite and attentive, and our meals were deliciously exceptional. 10 out of of 10 up until.. Then, the 5 year traveling in our pack earned herself a scoop of ice cream after the bill had been paid. The two of us waited in front of the counter for ice cream while Vanessa addressed a small party. Vanessa sat them, addressed me at the counter, however did not service me. Instead, she walked out of site, came back with two glasses, and told me she will be right with me. She never got to me. Vannessa sat a larger party waiting behind me, I made eye contact with Zulema, who asked Vanessa across her way if I have been helped. In the end, Zulema scooped us one container of sorbet and inspired another employee to ring me up. Overall, Vanessa dissolved the quality in the service I received at Perko's. read more

Their food reminds me of good old-fashioned cooking. It doesn't matter how busy they are their customer service is outstanding! Their whole staff works together as a team and that's what makes their seating effective, timely and enjoyable yet the quality of the food matches their customer service. Sundays are usually their busiest but it's worth a small wait for a table or booth. read more

GREAT food!! This place is busy but big. Like big enough that we went in on a Sunday with a party of 7 and no reservations and only waited 10 minutes. And the food... bomb. read more

For a privately owned business, & a long standing restaurant the food is consistent & great! The service is superb; waitresses work very hard to give all their customers attention they deserve. They are very attentive & work as a team by helping each other. We never have had to ask for coffee refills or water; they are there before we have to ask! The ambiance is very homey & comfortable. read more

I love the hospitality here. Kelly, the owner, was so kind and genuine throughout our dining experience. We were a rowdy bunch with complicated orders, but she didn't mind at all. Felt like we were all friends having breakfast at her place. Thank you Kelly for the wonderful customer service, and of course, the food was amazing! The portions are huge and very delicious. We left full and happy. read more

Good food and good staff. I may be partial because I've gone here my whole life, but feels like home.

Maybe the worst breakfast place in the area. We waited 25 minutes after being seated to get acknowledged, and 85% of the staff was working without masks. The place was dirty, rude and unfriendly. We finally gave up and left. read more

One of the best breakfasts we've ever had! Chile verde skillet was INCREDIBLE! And the corned beef hash was excellent. Great pancakes! Excellent service, huge portions. Can't recommend it highly enough. read more

Another great mom and Pop business/restaurant that is really well run. You can tell the family has experience in the restaurant business from the mother and father down to their sons.
