Perkins Family Restaurant

my husband and I have been 2 this location a few times for breakfast recently. We were pleasantly surprised- the  omelettes were very good and the pancakes were delicious. It was very crowded on the  occasions we were there. The restaurant is clean and the waitstaff is on their game. this is going to be our go to spot for breakfast from now on.

This Perkins is on northbound Route 41, just to the north of Avondale. The restaurant did get very busy on the weekend morning when I was there, but I thought they handled the crowd pretty well and had everyone seated in a timely manner. The food is typical diner-like food, similar to Denny's and IHOP. Service was good and the restaurant interior did appear to be kept in fairly good condition.

Came here on 11/12/11 with my bff and god daughter. Typical family style restaurant set up...in the middle of the "Sticks". Of course the baked goods are on showcase as soon as you walk in setting your tastebuds up for something sweet. MY goddaughter who is 5 yrs old LOVES this place, so of course, as a cooperative godmommie I am, we had to go to her favorite place. They sell breakfast all day. She got the rainbow pancakes (pancakes with sprinkles on them). My bff got french toast and I ordered a chicken sandwich with swiss cheese and bacon (which I actually do not eat) but there were NO substitutes...:-(  the meal came with fries as well. I asked for everything besides the lettuce to be left off the sandwich...but there were pickles on it when I got it. I was a bit disappointed as the chicken was grilled and I wanted it crispy and it wasnt a fillet...it was a few grilled chicken strips in a toasted hamburger bun...kind of not what I thought I read on the menu. Needless to say, I was SO hungry, I had to eat it. The waitress was REALLY sweet. Again, very family oriented place. Lotsa families. Prices werent too bad. My goddaughters pancakes were kind of cold. :-( I did pick up a sample on the way on of the pumpkin creme pie. I ordered a piece of apple caramel pie to go. When it was time to go, our waitress virtually disappeared which made it hard for me to FIND her to tip her. The older woman with the big blonde hair seemed a lil "standoffish" (not sure if she did not like people of color...or people at all) she was NOT friendly or personable. I mean, I would like to see the same SERVICE carried out when I PAY for my meal. Sorry, just not happy with her. Otherwise, nothing special to write home about. Simple food- Denny's might be better (without the negative racial connotations attached)
Cannot say I would return. Next time we will go to another area restaurant.
