Perkins Family Restaurants

I've been to Fort Myers on several occasions but for some reason my mom refuses to eat at this place.  My sister and I had a late flight and we were starving and trying to find a place open at midnight.  This place was way understaffed (we were told they had only one cook) and the place was surprisingly busy for midnight (lots of old people and kids too!) but the food was pretty darn good!  Better than any Denny's or IHOP dinner.  I had an open faced Turkey Sandwich with stuffing and gravy and it was surprisingly good!  The turkey was 'real' turkey that looked like it was just cut from the bird.  Juicy and tender and the perfect end to a very loooong day traveling with nothing to eat but peanuts!  On our way out we each got a chocolate eclair from the bakery counter because they looked so yummy they were impossible to pass up!  The eclair was to die for!!!  It was probably the best I've ever eaten.  In French bakeries you get that tasteless fluff they call pastries but this was light and flaky with tons of custard and with real chocolate frosting instead of icing!  Both of us were drooling over the thought of another one every time we drove by Perkins but it was not to be :(

Your average Perkins... Only it was overcrowded and had extra slow service.
