I've been her a few times. It's a good little mom and pop place for breakfast. The coffee could be better, but the b&g is good. The service has always been friendly and the price is reasonable. read more

Perky's Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Basehor, Kansas

Waitress was very rude. Asked me if my 16 year old grandson would eat all of his meal. For the portion and price not worth it.

Really nice place for Saturday brunch. I ordered a fried chicken steak. Totally love it. They might be busy during brunch time, so might need to be a little bit patient. Parking is easy. There were enough place for parking. I feel the food and the price are quite reasonable. Totally a place for family to have some brunch together. read more

This is hit or miss for us - simple eggs and bacon are good - the coffee weak and the breakfast burrito is horrible - nice people

Been here before and found it satisfactory. I mean, not spectacular, but a fair-enough diner breakfast. But today, I do not know which was worse...the food or the service. Unfriendly waitress and funny aftertaste in hash browns. The chicken fried steak was cafeteria quality, the eggs had an slimy texture, bacon cold, and toast untoasted. The atmosphere was greasy and cluttered. Gave it two stars instead of one because I was not verbally or physically abused and I didn't actually get sick. read more

Food is simple and tasty. Sometimes the service can be slow because they're always training a new server. I also am not a fan of their menu. It can be hard to read. They do have a nice rewards system to early money/points each time you eat there. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. The service is horrible. They don't have near enough wait staff. They do have a heavyset dude that wears a vest and hovers over the food as it comes out of the kitchen, but does nothing to get it to your table. The food is mediocre. The problem is we're in a food wasteland in Basehor and there's no breakfast choices. Every time I come here I say I'll never come back and then a year later I really want breakfast out and I'm stuck with this trap. read more

Perky's has always been fairly average on the food and service, nothing special but it's kind of hard to mess up breakfast. We haven't been in 5 years but went today so we didn't have to leave town. It took absolutely forever to get our order taken and get food. Then once we finally got food it was pretty lackluster. The potatoes tasted like they were on the edge of going bad, the eggs were cold, and the pancakes were all burnt. I even ordered extra pancakes because my kids tear up ihop pancakes and they literally wouldn't eat more than a few bites because of how burned they were. To top it off prices have gone up dramatically since we last came so we left much poorer and with hungry kids. We won't be back. read more

Perry's used to be a good breakfast destination but it's gone downhill. The last time we went for breakfast the wait time was ridiculous. They weren't busy but it took 30 minutes before someone even took our drink order. We ended up just leaving and we weren't the only ones who left that morning. read more

Was told it was a good place to get corned beef and cabbage on St Patty's day..... wrong! Asked what came with meal and was told 2 pieces of meat , wedge of cabbage, potatoes and rye bread and was offered gluten free bread for wife's. Got 2 meals to go for that nights supper. Cost $26. That evening opened boxes wife's had one piece of meat and both pieces of the gluten free bread had small green mold spots, and meat and cabbage in both were so under cooked that even after 5 mins in a microwave both were too tough to eat/ chew. It was like the corned beef had been heated up but not cooked low & slow to make it eatable, like chewing on rubber! My wife threw hers out in the woods and I ate part of my potatoes and added pimento cheese to the rye for a sandwich. Took my meal back today and cook stated she was sorry, but no offer of refund or compensation. I will not be back! (De Soto) read more

My first time their, online order and a BYGO sandwich's. Still not worth it, $11! 2 sandwich's, both pretty good. A small handful of fries. I added some optional sauces, that were not in the bag! It's bad, went you get home and see that your missing stuff. I cannot go back. read more

I came in with my wife and 2 daughters a week ago and it was ok. Food is okay, coffee tasted really cheap and the old guy sitting their kept looking at my daughter. Don't know if were going back. read more

These people mean well, I'm sure. But man, I've never seen such a nightmare of egg missteps occur in my life. My poached eggs were cooked entirely through, like hard-boiled eggs with the white missing, sitting in water. My ham was burnt, and the hash brown's were as well more burnt than anything else. It was a wonder they brought any of this out at all. It seems the short-order cooks here absolutely know how to do one set of rudimentary tasks right, and even then they're seemingly done not-so well. I didn't know you could mess up hash browns from a box, but I guess through the complacency of such shortcuts, it's easy to lose respect for the vegetables and the art. My breakfast wasn't worth eating or photographing, so I sent it back and went hungry. I'd never try this place again. They attempt it, and the service is good, but the cooks are amateur at best - and not the good kind that make only three things excellent, but all things just meh. Country diner "food stuffs" for the uncaring and misplaced. read more

This place takes an hour to make a BLT. The orders are usually wrong. We have tried several times because our office is close. BLT is always wrong. When you order extra gravy on mashed they give you no gravy. Today i called to try and place an order and the lady sat the phone down and i spent 10 minutes listening to her sell a gift card before she hung up. I called back explained i had been waiting on hold and she hung up on me, she said yea i know and said i would need to hold again. NEVER will we go back. read more

Three of us went on a Saturday morning about 10:00am and was completely disappointed. Was in town for a baseball tournament and went in to eat between games. We waited 55 minutes for our cold food and just inhaled it because only had minutes to eat before needing to get back to ball fields. Our server brought us a drink upon sitting down and never returned to check on us or get more drinks. A completely different server brought us our cold food clearly after it had been sitting for awhile. What a waste of $44 for three breakfasts!!! We will not be returning next time we are in town for baseball and do not suggest anyone go there due to their lack of organization, attention to detail, and management skills!! read more

First off, several of the waitstaff weren't wearing masks nor were the tables set up for proper social distancing and the place was packed. We left and won't return read more

Went there on Sunday Oct 10th for lunch and it was absolutely terrible. We sat there for a total of 50 mins, 10 mins eating and 40 mins waiting for our order. After a 40 min wait part of my order was cold so I sent it back and told them to take it off the bill. Flys we're literally all over the place, we constantly had to wave them away while we were trying to eat our food. We got seated across from the kitchen and there was nothing but unorganized chaos going on back there the entire time. We will never eat at this restaurant again, if I could give it ZERO stars I would, total waste of $30.00 and an hour of our time. read more

Food was okay, nothing to write home to mom about. The egg whites on my skillet breakfast were a little runny and I ordered them over-medium to avoid that. The gravy tasted and looked like it was made with water. The coffee had to be creamed and sugared to taste decent. Sad, considering it's called "Perky's" Cafe and they have multiple coffee pots sitting atop of a dividing wall as decor. Speaking of decor...it SUCKS! They half-assed pinned two American flags to the wall at angles and underneath one posted a sign which read "WARNING Does Not Play Well With Liberals." Had I noticed that signage when I walked in I would have turned around and walked out! Sadly, I didn't notice it because we were meeting our daughter and grandson there and there were others in the restaurant so looking on the wall was not a priority. I noticed it after I was finished with my meal (I left half of my breakfast on my plate). I told our waitress as she rang us up at the register that she just served an entire table of "Liberals" and walked out. My husband paid and we left. Funny how they will be happy to take our money but won't play well (nicely) with us! No, we won't be back. The food nor service, and definitely not the "welcoming" decor was good enough to warrant another visit. And after reading Tracy's ugly notice about masks on yelp I wouldn't step foot in another one of his or her establishments! I guess he/she didn't lose any loved ones from covid...we did. WARNING...I don't play well with stupid people! read more

I decided to try this cafe bcuZ who doesn't like a cafe that feeds a need for comfort food. So I went in hungry & hopeful. Unfortunately,I was left with a bad taste & disappointment. Looking for biscuits & gravy I got a powdered version that was tasteless, hash browns that had a burnt taste & scrambled eggs that were just barely cooked. If you want to be underwhelmed & have a need for meh effort this is the place for you. But as I told my husband you don't know if you don't try. I did & I know I won't be going back. read more

No employees were wearing a mask. The seating was not COVID friendly either. The food was just okay. My hash browns were super hard. An egg Benedict is supposed to have poached eggs, and I received a poorly made runny egg that wasn't runny because it was over cooked. The hollandaise was way too buttery and definitely not the consistency it should be. Also not a vegetarian friendly place. read more

This place is awful. Every time we come here we are always disappointed. Took my girls for a quick bite to eat turned into one and a half hours of waiting for our food. We will not be back Perkys get your stuff together. read more

The first time I went there to eat, I had two toast with the eggs scrambled in a heart shape connected to the toast. My first toast eggs were done. But the second toast when I put my fork though the egg, it was cooked done on each side but in the middle it was raw. So the person I was with wanted to go there to eat again her food was fine. So I wanted to order something different. So I ordered two pork chops. So I put the pork chop on my toast and took a bite. The thin pork chop was tough to bite into. By the time I got halfway through with the pork chop I looked at it then I noticed it was brown on both sides and raw in the middle. I informed the waitress she told the cook. I didn't have to pay for my food. read more

Decided on Perky's for a breakfast with friends. It wasn't busy at all, as it was Monday and 9:30, but there was only one older lady waitress and she was kept pretty busy and sported an attitude as well. My friends and my waffles tasted burned and were overdone. I asked for the fruit cup instead of potatoes and received canned peaches. Canned peaches??? really...can't we at least get some fresh grapes or cantaloupe???...something that isn't in a can.. Ate here with another friend last week and it was ok, so maybe it was just a bad day. Might give it one more try... I like to support home-town businesses. read more

I had asked around where to get a good biscuit and gravy other than the fact good places.not good b&g at any fast food places so far. I had Perkys in Bashor mentioned on the comments section so I went out there.other than the 20 mile drive it was a ok drive to get out and see a little of the countryside.got there and it.another than it looks from outside and it did look nice and clean.ordered a half order of the b&g and had a cup.of Coffey with it..It wasn't bad at all.not the best but certainly not the worst at all.was pretty decent. The only thing that put me off of it was the price.1 biscuit and perhaps a half cup of gravy on it and 1 cup of Coffey and it was over $7 dollars. A bit to pricey for what you get. I tried it.food was good. Just to pricey. The hunt goes on for a great B&G at a good price read more

Clean little cafe with great coffee and fast friendly service. Ample portions and definitely an asset to the community.

Okay, Basehor is a breakfast desert, so any breakfast place gets the benefit of a doubt. Perky's really doesn't need it. Their food stands on its own. Breakfast is pretty standard except when specials are on the menu. The breakfast quesadilla is really good. So are the omelets and the breakfast burrito, which is an especially good value. The B. A. B. (Bad Ass Breakfast sandwich) Is wonderful. Plan to share if you aren't a big eater. The BAB is usually a daily special but they will serve it anytime if you ask. Hash browns, fried egg, ham, sausage, bacon and cheese served as a sandwich. My personal favorite. Staff is always friendly and make you want to come back. The owners work there too, so service and quality are very consistent. Hamburgers are very good, but the perky turkey sandwich is original and tasty. The best review is that after opening in Basehor less than a year ago, the have doubled their space to meet the demand. read more

This place is fantastic local family friendly with fast service. Parking is kind of limited. But once you get inside its totally worth it!

Its been a while since I first reviewed this place and after recent trips to Perkys, it was time to update my review. The food is the same. Nothing special but also nothing that keeps me from going back. Like I said before, if I was more motivated, I would go to IHOP, but this is in my backyard and I do enjoy supporting local. The service has really gone downhill in my eyes. Today, my waitress forgot to put in my order and I had to wait an extra 10ish minutes for my breakfast. No big deal. I didn't mind. Where it did become a deal breaker for me is that she never came to say anything about it. No "Sorry for your wait or Sorry it took so long, I messed up." From where I was sitting, next to the kitchen, I could hear everything being said. When the food came out, the waitress tried to pawn the lateness of the food off on the kitchen staff. Come on, I heard everything you were saying. Then when I didn't tip as well as I usually do, I get a nasty face after she checks the ticket. This is just one story of the poor service that I have received in the past few months. To write about each and everyone of them would take too long. When the place first opened, they were doing what all new places do when then open. Their service was top notch and what you expect at any restaurant. In my opinion, the staff has lost that touch that made them worth going to. Like I said above, I didn't go for the food. I went because its local and for the service. For now on, I'll just drive the extra 10 minutes to go to IHOP at Legends. Sorry, Perkys. read more

The staff was friendly, but this is not a place to go during the pandemic. They do not follow protocol to help stop the spread. Maybe I'll try it again after this thing is over. read more

What a treat Perky's was his morning! I'm visiting my parents in Basehor for the holidays (my husband and I live in Nashville) and we were looking for a yummy breakfast this morning for my birthday. Perky's is a very cozy place and when I walked in the first thing I noticed was the smell! Many breakfast diners smell like grease and it sticks to your clothes and hair all day, but Perky's smelled like grandma's kitchen and maple syrup! Our food came out prepared just as we had ordered and service was speedy. Service was fantastic and they could not have been more welcoming. Thanks for starting my birthday on such a high note, y'all! read more

Super cute place with great breakfast! Staff is very friendly and make you feel right at home!

We were on a little adventure day and wanted to find somwhere new to eat. Checked out Yelp and found Perky's Cafe. We had a wonderful meal and will definitely be back. We were too full to try the delicious looking bread pudding, maybe next time. I had an awesome breakfast skillet. The coffee was really good and they were really on top of refills. A very friendly, sweet staff made this an extra special stop. read more

We love going to breakfast at Perky's! The owners and staff are very friendly and talk to you, but not at the expense of other people's dining experience. My boyfriend and I have taken to ordering the breakfast burrito (get it smothered in gravy!) and splitting it, trust us is big enough to share! If you happen to be there on a weekend they are serving Irish Toffee coffee--get it! There can be a bit of a wait during peak hours, but it's always been worth it for us. Oh! They also serve fan fresh eggs! read more
