If you're trying to go back in time and eat at an old school diner, this is it. They have good breakfast and the breakfast sausage is a must. Service is good, I've been going here for years. read more

I was looking for breakfast and saw that this place had great reviews. I tried breakfast here and I was really pleased with everything. The home fries were hot and the portion was generous. My breakfast sandwich was really good too. They ask you how you like your eggs prepared and I appreciated that. My food was delicious and cooked well and the service was really friendly and nice. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Cafe Perks - Sausage egg and cheese (with tomatoes) on an English muffin served with Home Fries - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

A friend and I attended a music festival in the area, and we stumbled upon this diner when looking for a place to eat afterwards. We stopped here since it was one of the closest options, and seated ourselves at a table to order. The atmosphere was cozy & inviting (lovin' that patriotic vibe!), and there was only one server when we arrived. Three other customers were also seated at two other tables. The server was very pleasant and brought our menu and drinks, after which we learned that they were to close at 2. Realizing that left only 15 minutes to order and not wanting to be "that customer" that lingers after closing time, I asked for whatever could be prepared the fastest. Our server graciously encouraged us to take our time and order what we liked since she had plenty to do to clean up regardless, and wasn't leaving until the work was done anyway. After a quick browse of the menu, my friend and I decided to order one meal to share-the double breakfast items that included two french toasts, 2 bacon slices, and eggs (we chose scrambled) for $11.49. Our order arrived promptly, and the French toast and bacon were on par with freshness and taste. While I can't really speak on the eggs (I am super picky with eggs), my friend seemed to enjoy them and had no complaints. As a bonus, it was just enough food for two! Although they were closing soon, I noticed the server was laughing and engaging in fun conversation with another customer. Everyone was enjoying themselves, and it was clear that none of the remaining customers felt rushed. My friend and I were also able to relax and enjoy our meal without interruptions or feeling pressured to eat fast (or better yet, box everything up to-go?) and leave. It was a surprisingly positive experience for having unknowingly wandered in as the final customers near the end of the day. If I ever revisit the area, I would love to dine here again and try that country fried steak bowl (before closing next time!). read more

3 of us went to breakfast and while the service was good, the coffee and food was terrible. Even the basic omelette tasted dry and no flavor and the toast was hard, cold and the butter wouldn't even melt. I won't be back. read more

My family & I used to be regulars here, service was great never had anything to complain about but the past 3 times we've been here the staff has been EXTREMELY rude & hushed us when we were trying to modify our order. & not to mention that we had to go get our own menus & wipe our own table. The one "waitress" who's heavier set with brownish grey hair is the reason why the service has gone such downhill. read more

Excellent American Diner food! Great breakfast at more than reasonable price. Lunch is wonderful, plenty of selections all delectable! Staff greets and treats you as if you're family. Big windows, bright atmosphere. It's not a fancy place, if you want table cloths and decor stay in your lane. If you want real food served by great servers, this is screaming for a visit! read more

Food was good, got the fried fish with green beans as side, someone forgot to salt the fish, not as tasty without it. The garlic bread was good. Husband got burger with fries, son got Patty Melt with green beans and home fries, down home cooking as usual. Very busy today. read more

Small diner.. very "patriotic" if you get what I mean... food was ok but I don't think I'll be back after finding other diners in the area.

Tried to place an order for The Works Skillet via the phone and they said the menu online is inaccurate and to not go off of that. As I tried to figure out an alternative option, she (Lisa) rushed us off the phone because "it's busy". Used to come here every other weekend but won't be anymore until they update a menu and get their customer service together read more

Old school diner , sweetest servers . Happy I stopped by after living off OBT this whole time .

the atmosphere was just really enjoyabl, very calm and collected. Ms. Leslie took great care of me for my first time coming in this place! I will come back again. The food was delightful-Marc. read more

My server( Brenda) did an exellent job, although she seemed to be overwhelmed with cleaning tables, and telling people where to sit. This was my first time , will definitely be back. Food was good, restaurant needs some upgrades. read more

The country fried fish with okra was fenomenal . I was obliged to order a second round of the same. I highly recommend this place.

Really good service, seems to be run by good people. Food was great as well, came out hot and quick. Also very clean inside. Definitely coming back in the future. read more

Would not recommend. The scrambled eggs were wet and seemed under cooked while the sausage was burnt. Omelet had burnt bacon. The biscuit was supposed to be grilled but looked and tasted like it was deep fried in oil. The music somehow was playing two different stations. The interior need's to be gutted and redone. Ceiling fans with no blades are hanging precariously. Rusting lighting fixtures with no bulbs. You can see into the kitchen area with the janitors mop cart and ladder. The waitresses were nice but would look better if they were wearing a uniform or something more professional. Won't be going back. Too many good places to go. read more

Passed by a few times stopped in today. BLT & fries were the freshest & best. The server was so attentive like having your auntie waiting on you. She was so respectful to everyone regardless of class or gender. They have some updating to do but I would definitely stop by again. read more

I have really liked this diner in the past but the last couple of visits have been pretty awful. Today I went for lunch and sat for a couple of minutes before a server came up to get my drink order. She brought it back right away and said that my server would be right over to take my order. Almost 10 minutes later the original server came back and said "Hi, I'll just take your order". Ok. I asked for a chef salad and a cup of soup. almost 15 minutes passed before i got her attention and asked where my food was. She then brought the soup, which was extremely peppery, and said my salad would be ready in a minute. A little while later another server brought a salad that was definitely NOT a chef salad. It was lettuce, a couple of tomato slices and a big pile of bacon bits. I told her that that wasn't a chef salad and she took it back to the kitchen where someone, the cook I presume, told her "that is a chef salad" and proceeded to argue with her. The last words I heard before I finished my soup and left was someone in the kitchen say "This is a restaurant being run by teenagers". I felt bad for them. Never did get the salad. I hope that they get it turned around and these past couple of visits aren't now the norm. read more

I love a quaint little hometown diner style restaurant. Fantastic food, service and prices. Literally the nicest servers ever.

It's not much to look at..but usually that's most good diners! Their food is good..it's not fancy eating by any means. Still good breakfast and lunch. I usually get the country fried steak with egg and hash browns. I enjoy it! read more

Nice diner. Reminds me of places we'd go in North Carolina. It has a very country feel to it. Food is simple and tasty. Prices are good. Service is always friendly. Breakfast is really yumm with many things to choose from. One of the few diners in town that serves country ham. If only they'd serve Red Eye Gravy with it, that would earn them another star! :) read more

After reading some reviews I decided to check this place out for breakfast and wow what a good choice. Great service, the staff was so friendly! The food was homey and tasty and priced to perfection! Don't judge a book by it's cover, this place is totally worth checking out read more

This is an adorable little breakfast spot near College Park. It's not in the best part of town, but don't let that steer you away! I came here for breakfast and ordered a huge spread for 2, all for less than $20! Everything is priced reasonably and they don't skimp on portions. I visited on a Saturday morning and it was packed, but the service was still prompt and everyone was very friendly. Being the potato aficionado that I am, I had to order both their hash browns AND their home fries (each were only $1.99 for a side, how could I not?). They were both perfection. I suppose the home fries may have been my favorite, though. Their eggs, bacon, and biscuits all hit the spot for my diner breakfast craving. This place is the epitome of a classic diner and their food is exactly what you would expect. I left satisfied and with a full belly. I was a tad disappointed that they were out out of hollandaise, which meant I couldn't try their eggs Benedict. I guess that just means I'll have to go back! read more

Glad to see business starting to open back up, some local type restaurant with good food and service. Had the breakfast special, good food, fast friendly service and reasonable prices read more

Cafe Perks - a breakfast of eggs, bacon and hash browns - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great old fashioned diner here. The prices are unthinkably low for a sit-down restaurant. The $3 eggs and toast? It is real. Add a coffee and some bacon and you've got a winner. This is the way diners were when I was a fetus. read more

It has great food, good prices and pretty good service. We tried a Gyro and it was better than most places in Central Florida. The grilled cheese and bacon was good, too. The large portion of french fries was a nice surprise with each sandwich and they substituted my slaw for applesauce without an up charge. We're excited to try the breakfast specials on our next visit. read more

I agree with keith below, this is a dump, dive, bad food, but service was quick. I think people must rank this higher because the food is cheap, less than five bucks for breakfast but the potatoes are pre cooked, stored in grease and slightly reheated. Heart attack waiting to happen. The cooks stand at the counter reading newspaper and when the waitress gave him our order he threw the paper on counter and rubbed his hand across his mustache and then went in back, I hope he washed his hands. The place is dirty, the front appearance looks like an abandoned building, the inside is not much better. I am not looking for remodeled, just clean. The place could have charm with a little thought and elbow grease. Even just paint the front a happy pink or Miami beach blue or another fun color instead of depressing brown. But the color and look of the outside of the building is a great representation of what awaits you inside. read more

I had passed this place for months, never actually considering it because of the location and external appearance. Yesterday my wife and I decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised. It's bigger than I expected, the food was good, the prices were good, and the server was very friendly. read more

Perfect stop for breakfast with their super affordable breakfast special. Their cheeseburgers and French fries always hit the spot. Good service and good food for a decent price. Been eating there for about 2 1/2 years. No complaints! read more

Friendly server. Exactly what you'd expect from seeing the outside. Things are worn, yet sanitary. I asked what the vegetable of the day is and they didn't have one today. The burger was decent and the bacon is nice and thick. The fry oil was old and ruined what otherwise was a nice large pile of well cooked fries. They have a tiny window A/C unit units that did not stand a chance in a room full of large glass windows. Even the waitress was wiping sweat from her forehead with a napkin. I went with a Groupon that they run from time to time ($15 for $8) I will give them another try with breakfast before the A/C is a problem. read more
