The service here is great. No problems there. We were greeted immediately upon walking in and someone said bye to us when we left. Our server was attentive and juggled multiple tables and orders. The food is... well, Perkins food. It's not necessarily bad. I'd classify it to someone who hasn't been there as a wallet-friendly option, a step above cafeteria food. And hey, some days that just hits the spot! This place isn't as packed as IHOP, which makes it feel more relaxing. I don't feel like it's a race to finish my meal in record time. What I really came here for today was the pie. The chocolate French silk pie at other places has the texture of whipped cream throughout the entire pie. Perkins has substance in their French silk pies, still silky smooth, but solid enough that it doesn't feel like I'm eating chocolate-flavored soap suds. It is perfection. read more

Staff incredibly nice. Over easy eggs more like hard boiled yolk, bacon not crispy; mammoth muffin very dry. Pie mediocre. Nope won't go back read more

I have enjoyed the foot and quiet. The restaurant is warm cozy and welcoming. The food is great like I would make, I have enjoyed the service and happy we have a good late service diner. read more

Great chicken fried steak dinner. Good waitress. Good energy in restaurant this evening.

If they had a negative one, Star, I would definitely do it. I have to put one star to leave a review. And it is probably not just this restaurant. I'm sure that all Perkins are basically the same. I ate breakfast with my wife and family two weeks ago. I got the cheapest thing on the seniors menu. It was a very small half of an English muffin with an egg on it and I think a piece of meat. I'm not sure they called it a" egg Benedict" it was accompanied by a tiny little serving bowl of cut fruit, probably eight or nine little pieces. It came out on a turkey platter. It looked like a fly on the hubcap of a 59 Cadillac. I know items are going up groceries are going up. Gas is going up, but I don't mind paying a little bit more for some good food. It was not good and that one little egg and tiny bowl of fruit cost 11 dollars plus I will never go to a Perkins again read more

Service has been consistently great, and the food is very good as well! Can't leave without a whole pie myself, and often a piece of carrot cake as well! read more

I want to acknowledge one of your waitresses that served us last Sunday night. Emma was very efficient as well as very personable in providing us with a very good meal and a very entertaining evening at your Hamblen Road restaurant. We will indeed return for more of the same.

Portion size and price are way wrong. Ordered a breakfast skillet portion was so small it would have barely been enough for my 8 year old. I sent it back cuz it was 16 bucks. Our waitress Sarah c. Didn't even ask if there was another menu item I would like. Just hastily brought our check to us. Unfortunate this used to be one of my favorite places. read more

Perkins is known by many for the delicious breakfast entrees and tasty pies! Along with breakfast, pies, and piping hot coffee (with seasonal flavors as well), Perkins serves lunch and dinner entrees! I love visiting Perkins for breakfast because you know that you will never be disappointed with your order. Some of the classic breakfast items include pancakes, hash browns, eggs, ham, bacon, potatoes (served two ways), and more. Although Perkins may be known mainly for breakfast items, this restaurant serves a ranging menu including soups, salads, sandwiches, appetizer items, burgers, pork chops, country fried steak, chicken tenders, meatloaf, shrimp, salmon, and steak entrees (to name a few). Do I have you walking down memory lane yet? If so, stop by Perkins to enjoy a meal and to help them celebrate 65 years of operation! read more

Service always seems to be good. Sometimes food isn't warm and this is how they serve cheese on hashbrowns EVERY TIME!! read more

Ok so I ordered the triple egg dare ya and I'm gonna post some pictures with this review. So everything was great except for the hashbrowns. Now if they were undercooked or overcooked then oh well not a big deal. But when they give you a quarter of the serving and then tell you that's what it comes with, well you better change the menu pictures then because I would not have ordered it had I known. Hashbrowns is the best part of breakfast I think most will agree. Do better. Not even to mention how poorly cooked the hashbrowns are. read more

I have no idea why this place doesn't have great ratings, we were a party of 13 and we all loved and enjoyed the food. Our waitress was nice and helped us with suggestions. I'll be coming back! read more

Excellent food service but I do not like the way the female manager treated her employees. It isn't right to treat people under you are superior. Belittling people because they're young, new, and or under you just isn't right. Get new management. I don't care if she's been there 30 years. Her time is up. read more

What used to be a goto place for my wife and myself has gone down bad. Food was literally cold(eggs sausage and pancakes all....not warm but literally cold. Dirty with grease and food particles on fork and knife. BUYER BEWARE. read more

We went here for New Year's Day because it was the only thing open. Maybe it was our mistake for getting prime rib at a place that doesn't specialize in steaks but man it was so bad. I asked for medium rare and it came out almost fully cooked. Then when they took it back and brought out the replacement which looked better but it was completely cold. I had to send it back again and I hate doing that because I don't want the servers to spit in my food. The third time I just took it because we realized it was the best it was going to get. We ended up taking it home and cutting it up in pieces as dog training treats for our dog. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is because they gave us free pie and the pie was actually pretty delicious. I'll never go back to this restaurant again for actual food. But will probably go again for the pie. read more

This was one of the worst breakfast meals I have had. Asked for a bacon and cheddar omelette well done meaning NO runny egg. Not only was it wet the bacon fat was unreal. Not sure why a cook would ever turn a plate out with chunks of white fat. Serving sizes were a joke too which was okay because it would have been thrown in the trash. Coffee was bitter. My husband has a steel stomach and he is feeling unwell as I type this with his breakfast. $35 for breakfast that was unappealing. Waitress had to have know I was unhappy with the amount of food sitting on a napkin not edible! Next time I will stand in line at the BB!!! read more

Open late and healthy! Mom had chicken breast and veggies from the 55+ senior menu. I had a salad and pancake. Although the pancakes aren't as good as ihop they left me satisfied. SO MANY SPECIALS! Senior specials, buy 3 get 3 on bakery items, after 9 PM half price apps pie slices, and Monday's free pie with entree. I haven't had their pie but I bet you it's a treat. There is something for everyone here, breakfast skillets, and standard breakfast fare along with wholesome dinners and sandwiches. Tammy is a great server. Will be back! read more

I got a everything omelet (with no meat because I'm vegetarian) and it was delicious! There was a 20 minute wait (that was expected though because it's saturday). Our server was friendly, and it wasn't too crowded. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I have had ever at Perkins. We were never greeted when we walked in. It took a different couple of a different race to walk in to be noticed. We were rushed to get our drink and order all at the same time. Sarah was our waitress she never bothered to check on us while at the table. I had to ask a different for a to go box and she had an attitude as well. I will Never go back to this Perkins again read more

Service is always awesome and food is amazing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast joint.

I got the tremendous 12 sub potato pancakes (I love their potato pancakes) plus ordered two additional pancakes. I was craving pancakes so I came to Perkins I almost forgot how much I love the pancakes here... plus the strongest coffee I have had since I have made my own. I wish I knew the waitresses name but I came on Tuesday nov 30th she was fantastic and very attentive she deserves a raise! This trip reminded me why I love Perkins, the food comes fast and hot!!!! read more

Best breakfast restaurant ever. The staff is outstanding. Food is always good and priced well. They also have stevia for coffee which is rare in a restaurant read more

I don't know why people rate this low. Yes it's Perkins. Yes it's Perkins food. You know what to expect and it's always good. The service has always been good. I've never had a bad experience here. No it's not fine dining but it is predictable and you'll get some good food at a reasonable price. read more

This was the most insufferable dining experience I have ever had. The waitress took our order and then disappeared for 40 minutes without even returning to fill our empty glasses. When I finally got up to search the restaurant for her, not only could I not find her, I couldn't find any member of the staff at all. I actually had to WALK INTO THE KITCHEN to find someone who was collecting a paycheck from Perkins. When I asked what had happened to our waitress and why we hadn't yet been served our orders, I found out that our orders had been lost and they didn't even know they had customers sitting at our table. The best/worst part was how they didn't even seem to care. Blank stares and mumbled sentence fragments were all they had to offer in the way of an apology. If you ever want to know what it is like to be abandoned by your server and systematically starved via negligence while waiting for a dinner order which will never arrive, by all means stop in at your local Perkins. This may explain why this restaurant chain seems geared toward senior citizens: only withered old souls weary of life and without any hope in their hearts would sit crumpled in the Perkins dining room while waiting for their egg white omelet and holding the grim reaper's bony hand. I have given Perkins one star because a negative 14 star rating was not an option. read more

Second time we have visited in 4 years, will not return. Service was great, no problems, the food was terrible. The pancakes were crispy, the skillet breakfast had mashed tater tots instead of hash brown potatoes. The first time four years ago, the cook was hauled off in handcuffs, after our food was served. Should have learned a lesson then read more

OK so I see some one star reviews here. Let me say that I have been to this restaurant several times later at night, after work, closer to closing. I have tried several of their meals and have been highly satisfied--be it the roast beef, chicken and pasta, or roast turkey dinner, the food is hot and fresh. The waitress Amy was helpful and courteous. Most of the time the waitress will take time to chat and see how you are doing--the cook also will ask how the food is. Always a good time and great visits. Lots of variety and everything I have eaten has been a great experience. read more

Not its former self ! Bought the Heath pie which were used to buy all the time then they quit selling it. Let me tell you it is nothing like its former self. About half the size and about half the thickness and it doesn't taste anything like Heath. They used to have Heath pieces in it and on it and no longer does it have that. Not only that the price is $16 which is ridiculous read more

Perkins has always been my favorite restaurant but this one is a joke. So I ordered the meat and potatoes omelet and three pancakes, my sister got the burger, fry and pie combo. With that being said we got our food my eggs in my omelet were runny and undercook. Our server didnt come and check on us for 15 mins, the waiter was unapologetic, and rude. An older lady complained about her meal free and a free pi lll read more

Ok.. Have eaten here twice.. First time service was great.. Food was ok and we did not wait long Second time (the next day) food was the same .. Service was a slow but friendly Guess it depends on the day and how busy read more

We eat breakfast here every time we come to town... but, while the food is pretty good most of the time, there are times when it just plain sux. But, like today when the food order was wrong for both of us, they took it back and remade all of it. One uncomplicated omelet was fine, but I ordered my omelet with Ham, Cheddar, Swiss, and chopped tomatoes and it was pretty pathetic. A very small portion of each item was put in an omelet that should have been bursting at the seams with cheese, meat and tomatoes. The potatoes were great and the French toast was a bit above average (could have been cooked a little more). To their credit the manager didn't charge us for anything. We will be back, but one last thing I have to say, the coffee while strong (which I like very much) is bitter and that just means some cheap beans... change your coffee, buy a better brand! read more

Good food and great service. FREE PIE on Monday's. Breakfast has so many good choices.

We went to Perkins on June 5 around 9pm. Very few customers. We were seated right away, and a woman came by to take our order. 30 min. later, she hadn't returned. I finally asked someone where our food was. He told me the order had never been turned in. We left immediately. We will NOT be returning. There were only 2 people working besides the cook, but so few customers. No apology that I recall. Even when I wrote on their FB page, no one ever apologized. I guess Perkins doesn't care about their customers. read more

My family and I have always had a pleasant experience at this Perkins over the past 10 years that we have lived in Lee's Summit and been patrons numerous times. With that said, we have always gone when we have had a coupon and know that the coupon discount is added to our bill when we walk over to the cashier counter to pay on your way out. I have had a birthday coupon to be used at this specific Perkins for over a week now that I had been looking forward to use as this coupon would give me a free breakfast meal for the amount of $7.99. So, I went today, showed my waitress my coupon, happily ate my meal and walked over to the cashier counter with my online coupon up on the phone with all intent of paying for the tax and tip. Waiting a few minutes for someone to help me, I forgot about it during that time and was disappointed after signing my name having added on tip and pressing submit for my credit card payment. I quickly showed the cashier lady my coupon and asked if there was a way to return the amount of the meal itself. She said "No, we cannot give back cash." I, in return, not wanting cash, asked for her to return it to my credit card. She said that that was not possible as it had already been processed and to just come back and use the coupon another time. Seeing that she was the manager, I knew that there wasn't anyone else with whom I could speak and stood there for a moment visibly distraught as I did not have any initial intent of going there today to spend but maybe $4 at most. With that being said, I still don't understand why this lady could not credit back the amount of the meal or the entire amount that was charged and restart the transaction? Extremely disappointed and frustrated that what was supposed to be a special birthday treat to entice me to want to come back to their business again left me feeling being taken advantage of and not wanting to return all because of a simple mistake that could be easily rectified. read more

Arrived at 7:30 AM for breakfast and hardly anyone in the restaurant. Had to wait for awhile for the waitress to come take our order. She was not friendly at all and seemed not too happy to be there. Ordered coffee right away, which showed up promptly and our breakfast shortly after. Then the waitress simply disappeared. No offer to refill our coffee craft (which we quickly emptied) or water glasses, nothing. Had to ask the hostess to get our waitress who again seemed annoyed. The only reason why I gave 3 stars is because the food was good, but the dining experience was less than stellar. I guess I expect waitresses to care I'm there. read more

Ate there tonight. Service was an absolute joke: sloppy, inattentive, and slooooow. Sometimes the waiter for our row wasn't even seen for ten minutes at a time. The table across from us finally left because they waited forever just to have their order taken. So unimpressed. read more
