The drink specials were good, and honestly the drinks made the Walmart run before dinner a little more tolerable. We came back later for dinner, and the food was fine. I had the Kickin' Raspberry Chicken for $14.99, which was a grilled chicken sandwich with Jamaican jerk seasoning, grilled pineapple, ghost pepper cheese, and raspberry sauce on ciabatta. It was good, messy, and that ghost pepper cheese definitely had some fire to it. I liked it. I honestly do not remember what Kim had, but not because it was bad -- just because the meal overall was not especially memorable. The bigger issue was the service. Our server seemed like she was ready to be somewhere else, and that threw off the vibe for us. Nothing was bad enough to complain about, but it was just barely good enough not to. We probably should have stayed at the bar like we usually do, because the bar side seemed more fun and the bartender looked like UFC legend Chuck Liddell, which at least added some entertainment value. I would come back for the drinks, especially if I was staying nearby again. The food was okay, my sandwich was actually pretty good, but the service left us wanting to finish up and walk somewhere else.

I have had so many consistently bad/slow experiences at different Perkins over the years that I…read morestopped going to them. I decided to give this location a try after seeing online ads about their Cobb salad. I arrived at noon on a Friday and even with many folks waiting for a table, I was seated within a few minutes. My order was taken within moments, and drink arrived quickly after. It was within 20 minutes to receive the salad (and roll). If you look up what a Cobb salad is, you will see most places do not make them correctly. Often, they cover this by calling them something else, like a Southwestern Cobb or similar. The Perkins version was called a West Coast Cobb Salad which I expected might make it different, but it had all the proper basic ingredients except chives/onions and black olives. The serving size was large and it was tasty without dressing (one reason I like Cobb salads). A real Cobb is completely diced, which this one was not (though the tomato was). Perkins has one of the best I have had outside the Brown Derby (where it was invented about 90 years ago). The only place around that made a real Cobb was California-based Mimi's Cafe in Des Moines, and they have closed. I think Perkins is now my top local Cobb spot (and certainly best I have had in Marshalltown). My server, Amy, checked back with me frequently and was nice. During checkout, I was asked "how was your meal and service." Excllent. I will return the next time I crave an excellent Cobb salad.

I came in expecting the worst because of the reviews but to our amazement the food, price, and…read moreservice were great! The "add a pie and drink" for $5 is a great deal. The food came out simultaneously within minutes. If you're expecting traditional comfort food, I would say this is a good place to stop. I would say it feels like a Denny's but a tad more homemade. To make it a 5 star I would say it needs a little more ambiance, and a little more down-home charm. Also, the food should be brought out in waves, not all at once, but if that's the only complaint, you know it's not too bad.
