Perkins Family Restaurants & Bakeries

My wife and I have been here about 20 times, it is about a mile from our house, so a good walk on a Sunday, every time the service is great and the food is plentiful and reasonably priced. We really like how this place has salads available in the morning. since I get the bread bowl salad more often than not.

Also, they don't look at you weird when you order a Diet Coke for breakfast.

I have tried multiple omelets and they are always solid. The hash browns are always crisp.

Since I have been on a healthier kick, we haven't been here in awhile, but everytime we went, it was really good.

My only complaint was that my wife ordered me a mello yellow when she knew I was trying to cut out pop from my routine.  I think the added caffeine was responsible for my sleepless night.  Oh well.  

This location is friendly.  Everyone was nice. and that's a plus.  I ordered an the avocado omelet and it didn't really look like the picture, but tasted good.  How can you go wrong with breakfast food?  Their breakfast potatoes were great and the highlight of my meal.  I love those fried cubes of goodness.

The first time I went to this Perkins, there was still a smoking section... so i believe that was in the early sixties...  times have changed but my love for the tremendous twelve and the chicken tender melt never will.  The amount of food you get here is equivalent to that of a Denny's or Shari's but honestly, it's just flippin' better.  It's not gourmet, by any stretch, but it's really good, and when you're drunk at midnight (not in high school, that's illegal) and you need three eggs, four pancakes, four strips of bacon and hash browns... where the heck are you going to go...

A special thanks to the staff for handling the stampedes after football games as well... You guys did a great job of keeping 200 people out of my backyard for a few hours... in 2001.  

I love you, Perkins.  Open in Seattle.  

Try the muffins... unless they've changed, they're the size of your head, and have more butter and sugar than Paula Dean's cookbook (I know I know, not possible).  

I can't stop thinking about the chicken tender melt now... ugh... Buttery toast housing fried chicken strips, peppered bacon, and pepperjeck cheese... served with salsa.... *feels heart rate quicken*  

Ok I'm done.  

Their french silk pie is bomb.
