    6 for $6 Breakfast
    John S.

    Good value for money. Waitress was friendly and quick with service. The 6 for $6 breakfast gets you 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bacon. No substitutions allowed. Place could use a deep cleaning. Table was really clean & menu needs a good wipe down.

    The O.G. Melt

    Food was delicious. People there were very friendly and made sure that we had everything. Great service! I would definitely go back on Sundays as a family brunch.

    I absolutely love this restaurant from the cooks to the servers to cashiers are awesome so very pleasant to their patrons whether your dining in or ordering out. Every week I get their 20%off my order every week in my email and I use that coupon to order my favorite breakfast. POTATOE PANCAKES. They are amazing. Just like how my dad used to make them. This place never disappoints. I highly recommend PERKINS

    Toasted BLT

    I came to Perkins with a friend/coworker and one of her friends a few days before Christmas, 2015. It was my first visit, even though I live pretty close... I took pictures of our food and decided to write a review. First off, let me just say this place is sitting on top of a hill, with BIG windows, overlooking part of the town of Bethlehem. It has such a nice view for eating. Aside from the food, that was one of my favorite parts. Service: The service was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Offered great recommendations on some of the dishes. We didn't have to wait too long for our meal, and I was very impressed with the variety of foods they offer. They even have a bakery where you can purchase cakes, pies, etc. They also do breakfast ALL DAY, which I am such a big fan of, because I love having breakfast at night. "Elmo" was there the night we came in, so I decided to get a picture for fun, lol. Food: I ordered the "Build A Breakfast", choosing pancakes, hash browns, over-easy eggs and chicken sausage. Oh and raspberry iced tea. The pancakes were delicious, not too flat, not too mushy. They brought out a tray with several different syrups to choose from, berry, maple, and I think honey? Nice to have options right there on the table. The hash browns were good too, eggs were just right, not too runny but not over-cooked. The chicken sausage was pretty good too, it didn't taste like boring ordinary sausage, it had a unique flavor. I also liked the raspberry iced tea, I could taste the berry but it wasn't too sweet. My coworker ordered a hash brown plate with cheese, bacon and sour cream. Also a grilled chicken club sandwich with fries and ranch dip. Her friend had a salad with a BLT. My coworker let me try a bite of the hash browns, they were sooooo good! Loved the flavor and they were lightly crips on the outside with a soft inside. I tried a small bite of her chicken club and a French fry--the chicken club is pretty good, it has bacon and all inside. You can really taste it. Fries are just right, like the tots, crispy outside, soft inside. I love their ranch, its that rich, creamy kind. I commented to the manager that their ranch tastes homemade... He said their ranch IS in fact made in-house, its not pre-bottled. I always like to hear that. I did not try any of the BLT or the salad, but they look pretty good too. Just wanted to give a shout out about this place, I WILL be coming back! Very enjoyable experience, I wish I knew about this place sooner. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good family night out, or just some nice comfort food.

We were seated right away in an open format atmosphere with the best balance of light and dark. The bar across from us looked fantastic. What we noticed right from the start is how well the staff works with and for each other to bring guests the best dining experience possible. Maddie was our server. She was kind, professional, patient, and knowledgable about both food and drink on a grand scale. Her recommendations were stellar. I had a refreshing gin and basil martini as well as their beef carpaccio, which was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend started with their beef stew, which was thick and satisfying. It was so delicious, she almost canceled her entree to have more. She went with the home cooking route and indulged in their meatloaf with green beans and mashed potatoes. Although she loved that as well, half had to come home with her, which made for an excellent lunch the next day. I went with the raw of it all and got their spectacular tuna tartare with asparagus, radish, and rice. Usually, the tuna is cut into strips but this tremendous block of gorgeous fish knocked me out. Absolutely fantastic from presentation to flavor. For dessert, we got their brownie with ice cream and this was all upper level in taste and texture. I would be shocked if their ice cream hadn't been made in-house. We loved our first experience with Apollo and we look forward to our next visit, which is hopefully sooner than later.

Thank goodness we planned some flexibility after the meal before our show started. But the real downer of the meal was Alison.

Wouldn't go back.

I'm from New York, and my sister moved to Pennsylvania, so she introduced me to this spot. Now every single time I visit her, I somehow end up right back here because the food is just that good. They used to have a second location that closed, but honestly, it doesn't even matter because this one was always my favorite, the food here is on another level. We always start with the Brussels sprouts, the fried green tomatoes, or the hush puppies. You simply cannot go wrong with any of them. The appetizers are always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. And then there's the mac and cheese... absolutely to die for. Even the children's mac and cheese is ridiculously good. Creamy, cheesy, comforting, exactly how mac and cheese should be. Their salads deserve their own shoutout too. The goat cheese salad with pickled eggs is perfection, and the Caesar with cornbread croutons? Genius. It's the kind of detail you don't expect but end up craving every time you think about it. But of course, the real star of the entire place is the cornbread. Truly heavenly. They serve it warm, and the whipped butter melts right into it, it's honestly dangerous how good it is. I could eat the entire dish by myself without hesitation. The service is always great, quick, friendly, and welcoming. It's one of those places where the vibes feel just as good as the food tastes. On weekends, it does get packed, so making a reservation is probably a smart idea. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food, the atmosphere, the consistency, everything hits. I will always come back whenever I'm in the area, and yes... mostly because the cornbread is truly that good.

She fielded any questions with ease and her recommendations were exceptional. My girlfriend loved her cosmopolitan and my martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was phenomenal. The artichoke and spinach dip was both plentiful and flavorful. The tuna tartare was a bit dry yet delicious. But that grilled octopus was on a completely different level of flavor and texture.

It obviously was not hot enough- it didn't even sear the steak. After taking too long & it was obvious it wasn't going to cook on the slab we sent it back for them to grill in the kitchen- after that it was fine but not seasoned at all- just a plain lice of steak. The lamb shank was returned to the kitchen as it was tasteless. Appetizers were tasteless as well- ravioli & octopus. Got a burger instead which was fine. The tacos were fair- little taste & lukewarm. Same for the pork mignon. Not a place I'd return to. Service was fair along with the ambiance- kind of boring.

However, the overall experience was disappointing due to slow service, lack of communication, and issues with the food. We visited after the Lehigh Graduate Commencement Ceremony and were seated from 1:30-3:00 PM. Our server, Younise, only checked on us roughly every 15 minutes. It then took 45 minutes for pretzels and another 30 minutes for our 2 entrees. While we overheard that the kitchen was behind, this was never communicated to us directly, which made the long wait more frustrating. There was also an issue with my order. I ordered the Caesar salad wrap (Julius' Chicken Dance $14), but I was brought a Caesar salad with chicken ($3 up-charge) instead. The server did not offer to have the kitchen correct it or provide an alternative. After discussing it, I eventually asked if she could bring me a tortilla so I could make the wrap myself. A 15% discount was applied, which I appreciated, but the bill still listed the incorrect meal and reflected the higher-priced salad instead of the wrap I originally ordered. The burger was also underwhelming, as the cheese was not melted. For a meal that came to over $60 for pretzels, a burger, a salad item, and one drink, I expected better communication, food quality, and customer service. The ambiance was great, but the entrees and service unfortunately did not match the setting

I mentioned this and was told that's because many of the same craftsmen worked on this place too. Made me feel smart! If you go. Do yourself a favor and walk around a bit.

I usually quaff mine down fairly rapidly, savoring the buzz during dinner and still safely driving home after. I had potato soup, which was very good, and Ming had Beet Carpaccio, which was thinly sliced seared root veggies with seasoning. I only had a bite because she wanted it all! Then came dinner. I had the ribeye, which was done so that it was seared one the outside to keep the flavor in and red (while being cooked thru, not an easy feat) and it's was flavored but not overly salty, were unusual. I ordered my usual Worcestershire sauce to clean off the extra salt, but hardly used any. Ming had the crab cake, which was the only negative of the meal. While not overtired or salty, there was a bit of a fishy smell. Not terrible, but off putting. Luckily for me, I don't like crab anyway so I didn't have any. The desserts were good, with a tasty chocolate cake and a peach cobbler that was good but could have had a bit of peach goo to moisten it a bit. The prices were very competitive considering the venue AND the quality of the food. The bar was hopping too because it looked like a great place to hang out with friends!
