    In the last month, we have been to this location twice. Location: Perkins used to be a breakfast staple my friends and I frequented often. When they closed the Olathe location, I was heartbroken. So many memories! We were delighted to see the one in Gardner exists! Customer Service: 8/10 I will say our first visit experience was rough. The server disappeared for over 20 minutes before we placed an order. It also took forever for us to get the check. The second time we went, the service was a lot better. The server was more attentive and personable. For context, we visited this location both times around 7pm. Everyone up front is always so nice and welcoming. Food: It's Perkins so it's your standard breakfast options and then some. I have always favored them over IHOP. Their food portions are hefty and the food is hot. I had biscuits and gravy the first visit. The second visit, I had a Belgian waffle. Both dishes were really good and the breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. The wait time for food is a little bit on the lengthy side (around fifteen to twenty minutes both times) but it is worth it with how hot and fresh it is. It was $35 plus tip for my hubby and I to eat here. Old Skool Vibes: I grew up in the late 80s, early 90s and places like Perkins and Denny's were always a vibe. This location reminds me of those days. It's never crowded and it is really clean with nice decor. The booths aren't ripped and gross and the tables are always clean. It brings back such good memories for me. Overall: 9/10 The food always hits and the customer service is decent. For a good breakfast meal, you cannot go wrong with Perkins. The only downside is the limited locations: Gardner and Grandview, which can be far for some. This will be in our monthly rotation of food places to eat and we look forward to our next visit!

    Every year I would eat thanksgiving meal and they close Olathe and forget about this one

    Great place to eat. Staff are always friendly and the food is delicious. Bring some extra money to pick up some amazing deserts.

We were in yesterday (Sat around 8:15 AM). The girl working the order register was a snot from the get go. I find it hard to believe that other customers didnt have complaints about her either. We attempted to order food which she rang up nit than said we don't have biscuits and gravy so you can't have that or the savory crepe with gravy. Ok but you rang it up, didn't ask anyone so how's then did you know you didnt have two of the six things you have on the menu? We then ordered house coffee which she then began writing our name on plastic drink cups. When we told her, those are regular coffees right? She said no your ordered iced. My girlfriend said NO, I ordered coffee and I said, "I'll have a coffee too". I never said iced ether and she threw a fit. We said you know what, make it 2 Togo coffees. She gave my girlfriend that leaked the entire time and the bottom of the cup was saturated like it was going to fall apart anytime. She has no business being in a customer service role. Not sure what her issue was. Was it we weren't regulars? Because if so, as a small business-good luck growing your business catering only to your 20-30 regulars. I will say, it was a solid cup of coffee though.

While there is colorful wall art and murals, there is a sparseness to the interior, because there is only a small area to sit and socialize. But sitting and socializing isn't why you're there. You're there for the COOKIES!!! And the cookies are incredible. The 14 we bought were hefty. Don't worry, we didn't eat them all in one sitting. If we could, we would have though! You are getting your monies worth and more. The cookies are crispy on the outside, soft and crumbly on the inside. Even though each cookie weighs quite a bit, they're not actually heavy. We had all kinds flavors and while many are normal and in rotation, it seemed several might be seasonal. We got one of each flavor and were excited to figure out which flavor is our favorite. The woman who greeted us was so nice and accommodating! She answered all our questions and advised us on the flavors. We have neighbors we share with who have a nut allergy and she separately packed the cookies with nuts. We can't wait to come back! The only downside is that we live almost 30 minutes away. It is worth the drive!

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

I didn't get to go until they were a few hours in but they had a pretty good selection left. It's a small shop next door to a Honeybaked Ham in a shopping center on Black Bob. Pretty easy to get to. Has several tables inside if you wanted to sit in but we just grabbed several cupcakes, a Dubai Brownie, and a slice of Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake. While they were already sold out in a couple of my first choices (Triple Chocolate and Cosmic) they had some others I was eyeing. Lemon Blueberry, Strawberries and Cream, S'mores, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Yummy. I think my faves were Chocolate Peanut Butter (how can you go wrong?!) and Lemon Blueberry. I haven't tasted the brownie yet but since brownie is one of my fave desserts, I imagine I'll like it. We were waited on almost immediately and they were super nice. They have a rewards program too which I get could be dangerous! lol They had quite a few different flavors of cookies as well and I noticed they had several gluten free options which is great for those who must avoid it! This is my first visit but I think they change out their flavors pretty often so I'm looking forward to trying some more!
