Shockingly, had a delicious meal and great service at Perkins. We haven't been to a Perkins in almost 20 years and expected the worst. Boy were we surprised! We had the Classic Benedict and the steak and peppers and they were both great. And the pies taste like they did years ago. Great experience. Will definitely be back. read more

My sister and I went to the Perkins in Lady Lake Florida and it took 10 minutes to be seated and 1/2 hour to get our food. Bad service. I asked the waitress where are the waitresses and she said there are a lot and I said where. There wasn't any other waitresses she lied. So now we are going to the one in Leesburg Florida. Better service and faster . read more

Perkins is a good deal all around, although it appears that the crazy deal with the burger / fries / pie is no longer around. At this day, at this location however, they were short staffed, and both entrees arrived warm not hot, and took a long time to get there as well. Server Cheyenne was very nice but her load was way too high, it was not physically possible to keep up, although she tried very hard to do so. We have not encountered this problem at the sleepier one in Leesburg. read more

Food on point delicious coffee Place cold n wait too long as cashier hostess awful Food wise great read more

This is a somewhat tired location, but clean. Service was good. They serve breakfast all day. They have 55+ menu. I had the pork chops, which you can order with 3 options of glaze and it comes with 2 sides. They have a freestyle Coke machine, but drinks are a hefty $3.49. My pork chops were delicious, but thin. Asparagus was soft and ok. Tots were good. read more

3.5 Rounded up. Clean (but super cold - props for the a/c but yikes!) It's great that you have a 55+ menu (with a good selection), but you should have a reduced drink menu to go with that $3.69 for a soda is completely ridiculous (at that price refill mine (minimum) 4x)). French Toast was awesome- I will be ordering that again. Service was decent (she was dealing with a group of 15). read more

See all

Michele, our server was amazing. I asked her what the name of our cook was and she told us that his name was Tree. The food came out tasting great (hot, fast and delicious). We had Hibachi Chicken. Great job! read more

This is generally a decent restaurant, serving a good variety of foods. Recently, the service has declined. The fault seems to be the management. Perkins never has enough servers to accommodate the number of customers. One can sit for 15 minutes waiting for a server to take a coffee order. Just being seated can take some time. The host or hostess is frequently missing in action, leaving customers to stand at the front for several minutes. Paying the check can be daunting. Again, finding someone to take your payment is frequently difficult because no one is at the cash register! The host or hostess is again missing. And it's not because they're seating customers. read more

Basics of the restaurant business: 1) seat the customer at a CLEANED Table. Failed 2) offer the customer a beverage with the menu. Waited over 10 minutes 3) bring the food to the table in a timely manor. 20 minutes for a BLT, salad and an order of eggs 4) provide quality, fresh foods. Mushy tomato in the BLT, gross browned lettuce in the salad 5) never microwave food. Makes it separate and greasy 6) provide the guest with a bill in a timely manor Perkins fails at all of these basics. It's concept who time has come to die and no one has told corporate. I truly wish a Waffle House would open in this location. Say what you will about Waffle House, they are able to provide the very basics of service. Perkin's can't be bothered. read more

Thanksgiving late afternoon/early evening there was a huge fight in the kitchen that was so loud that the whole dining room heard it and most likely even those outside ruining the Thanksgiving experience there for many read more

Excellent service!! Ginger was a fantastic server, quite the hustler! My father and I ordered the Eggs Benedict and they were delicious! We met the new manager and he was quick to correct a minor issue! We had a wonderful diner experience, excellent meal and great staff! Highly recommend!!! read more

My wife, Mom and I went to Perkins on Tue for lunch. The lunch was actually very good. My issue is with the male with glasses who was at the register when we paid. We left the tip on the table (ensuring the waitress gets all of the money) and Mom (91 years old) has her credit card in hand and looking at the machine which the first screen has the TIP "OPTION" and the guy leans over and asks Mom "did you leave a tip on the table?" WTF! NONE of YOUR BUSINESS buckwheat! That is about as RUDE as you can get! What kind of person puts TIP on the table...Here's my TIP to him - GET ANOTHER JOB! read more

Diane, is one of the BEST managers. She is helpful, polite & friendly. Anglea is one of the servers. she is pleasant & helpful especially when the kitchen is backed up. read more

We should have left the minute we walked into the restaurant. When we were greeted we were immediately told there was a 10 minute wait so they can "get caught up". There were many 6 tables seated. Our server explained there was a technical issue for checkout and it could take longer than usual. Ok, thanks for the warning. We should have been warned that our food would take more than 30 minutes...sandwiches and fries...and that the 3 tables that were dirty when we walked into would still be dirty went we left. I'm still confused as why the kitchen staff kept walking out and looking around the dining room. Never again. read more

Don't go. Restaurant is so dirty. We were seated in a booth and my arm stuck to syrup all in front of me. Really? I had to ask our server to wipe the table and she seemed annoyed. And she did a half-assed job wiping the table down. Was the cloth even clean? The blind to the window was broken and buckled and the booth end was broken off and hanging. Does anyone care there? We sat at that same booth a month ago and those items were in need of repair then. The carpet walkway is black and needs deep cleaning or a good shampoo. My husbands pork chops were dry and had little taste. We won't go back and I suggest you don't go unless you don't care about crud. read more

Came on a Sunday early morning and noted not many cars in sight. Inside the restaurant was cold. We were seated promptly. Our server came over after a couple of minutes but did not introduce herself. We ordered coffee and examined the menu later choosing Senior 2 eggs omelets with ham and cheese. My wife got a pancake and I got a Mammoth Muffin grilled. When the food arrived the muffin was small, all food was COLD! Sent it back. When it came back it was totally tasteless! We had to catch the server several time to remind her we needed cream and artificial sweetener. The coffee tasted like it had been sitting on a burner for a long time. We left a 18% tip on a $30 breakfast anyway but will NEVER go back. The men's urinal was broken also. This place needs a COMPLETE OVERHAUL. read more

We had dinner from there and the staff is very friendly and helpful, every time we order and pick up! Thank you all very much!

Service was wonderful. Food was terrible. Ordered California eggs Benedict and it tasted worst than hospital food. Will not go back there.

The food is good and the wait staff are very pleasant. However, the both times we went, the hostess/host was unavailable.

Stopped by today for lunch with the family, we're traveling on our way home. We all left with food poisoning.

It's a breakfast place. You might have to wait to get seated. If you're with someone who's eating breakfast, and you don't want breakfast, you can get a beer. read more

I go every Monday, because if you buy even just a breakfast, they'll give you a free slice of pie. My only complaint I have is that they continually run out of things. Yesterday, they said they were running low on pie so instead of giving pie out they were giving out pie cards. They were out of lemons for the drinks. The biggest thing is they were out of was sugar-free syrup, which is very important to diabetics, of course. When I ordered my pancakes, I told the waitress I needed sugar-free syrup and extra napkins. She bought the syrup in the napkins. The syrup was very good. Later when I was about finished, I asked the waitress, this is sugar free syrup right? She said no we're out of that today. Why didn't she tell me that when I asked her for sugar-free syrup? The time I went last week I ordered hot cakes, as usual. They started telling everyone at the door that they are out of hotcakes. So in just two visits they were out of four items...What's going on? read more

Anytime we have done here we request Josh, and he always seems to be able to make to experience good. He is a great server. Anytim he is not working, it always takes a lot longer to be seated, and a lot longer to get our food too..... he's not the cook, but he must be chirping at the cooks too read more

Not spectacular, but average. We went for breakfast. Nice staff and decent food. Prices are okay. Currently charging an additional 3% to your bill for "supply chain issues". Ambiance is good. Comfortable seating and clean. Bakery items look delish! read more

It took at least 40 minutes to get her order and then after I received the food I had to send it back because it was burnt. It took another 20 minutes to get my food. Everybody in the restaurant was complaining there's just not enough staff to wait on customers at this restaurant read more

We waited 45 min. to be seated, then we got a sour-faced server who didn't even try to be pleasant. She gave the impression that the sooner we order, the sooner we can get out. Two BLT sandwiches took 25 minutes to arrive, and when they did the bacon was cold and the toast was soggy. The excuse was that they are always busy on BOGO Wednesday. If you know that, then staff appropriately ! read more

The breakfast here is always good. Food is hot. The service is excellent. The eggs Benedict is done correctly. Came with fruit.

So I get it. This is The Villages and it's ALL about the retired ones. I also get it--it's darn difficult to get any help right now. We love Perkin's potato pancakes so we decided to take the trek. We did have to wait for about 10 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, our drink order was taken by the manager. We did both order the potato pancakes and the dish was delicious. The table next to us received refills and much more attention. My husband's drink sat empty for much of his meal. So I get it!!!! It's tough out there. But I'm not going to keep giving 25% tips for subpar service. Food was a 5; service a 1. Younger people have feelings too!! read more

Updated review 11-2021: Pros: Friendly staff Tables are clean Warm syrup Cons: Staff may be inattentive and neglectful Utensils may be dirty No real butter or maple syrup Bakery items may be leftover from the previous day and no longer palatable Orders may be incomplete, inaccurate and/or badly cooked Bill may be inaccurate Wait time to check out may be long due to customers arguing about inaccurate bills Very chilly inside the restaurant Tough pancakes Some staff may be only half masked (below the nose) read more

Lots of stuff on the menu, breakfast available all day. Food pretty good, especially for the price. The staff always super friendly; our waitperson, Ginger, is a hoot! read more

So we have been here for more than an hour and still no food! Wtf, I want to leave but hubby says chill. The coffee is ok, there isn't a soul working here with a clue. read more

The coconut pie recipe has changed. It used to be so light and whipped creamery. Now there is a heavy custardly filling inside and the crust is thick and tasteless. It has been years since I've had one. Just not the same. I just had the pie. read more

Just got back from Christmas dinner at Perkins and had a great time. Super busy, of course, and the staff were working at top speed but still managed to be friendly and efficient. Food was good; one friend had salmon, which she really enjoyed; another had what she said was "the best turkey breast I've ever had"; and I had the prime rib, which was done rare just as I like it. The crowds were large but even the customers seemed to be in the holiday spirit, and overall we had a great time. Shout out to all the folks at Perkins, and thank you for making our Christmas very merry. I hope yours was as well! read more

Had a great breakfast this morning! Our waitress Angela provided great service and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

This place is awful!!! The food mediocre but the service is truly terrible. I waited 30 minutes when there were plenty of tables open because the woman who was seating was also working the front counter. She was slow and completely clueless that people were waiting to be seated. They need a manager to straighten this place out. Not the first time we've had a bad experience! But certainly the last! read more

Great burgers, onion rings and lemon meringue pie. Kids eat free on Tuesdays. Free slice of pie of your choice with a meal on Mondays.

Food was cold. Also very concerned about the multiple violations in the restaurant they were written up for rescently don't think I will be going back. read more

Filthy, filthy, filthy. The booth tables were disgusting. The windows and window sills hadn't been cleaned, ever, it looked like. The seats had gaping holes and were also dirty. The wait staff was efficient and friendly and apologized for the conditions of the restaurant. My husband and I will not return until something is done to clean or update the place. I will NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. read more

Waited to be seated about 10 minutes. Then we got seated and waited for another 15 minutes no one even asked us what we wanted to drink
