So I've never heard of this place. We were passing through and just stopped at whatever was nearby. These people were so sweet! Everyone said hello, the staff actually seemed happy, everyone was smiling, it was honestly great. The food was good, nothing fancy. The prices were decent, the kids meals were $4.29 and $4.99. They came with a side, a drink, and a cookie! Our waiter was awesome, food came out quick. I would simply go back for the service and the environment. read more

Sounds crazy but I left my iced tea there accidentally so I called to ask if I could come back and get it. The manager said absolutely not. They threw it out, and refused to give me a new one. Over an iced tea, they lost 5 customers. My family and I used to go there together. It's been 2 1/2 years, and we won't be back. Petty and greedy people. read more

Though it is a big-box restaurant, it really impressed with food and service... I will admit, though, things didn't start off so good. We had what I would deem and exorbitantly long wait for wait-staff to show up. But once it did, it seemed worth the wait. Meal-wise, their menu is much like other restaurants of this type - American comfort food type fare - pot roast, chicken strips, beef and shrimp skillets, you know the like. Even so, what we all ordered - from the beef skillet, to a burger, and yes, chicken strips, were all cooked hot and fast and tasted quite good. I will mention that the chicken strips did come out over cooked. After the server made a fuss that she thought they didn't look appetizing, and after my wife send not to worry, she brought out a better batch for my wife to have - what a super plus in our book. (Rarely, if ever, do you see this type of concern and commitment.) For desserts we had cookies, a cinnamon bun, and their Heath Pie - all of it was sinfully good. No complaints there (and those cookies came out warm, and soft, and oh so gooey.) A solid big-box place that shows it cares for it's patron's experience. We will sure be back soon. read more

THANKSGIVING TAKEOUT DINNER Never again. We ordered 2 dinners which included potatoes, green beans and pumpkin pie. Inside box #1 was pourable mashed potatoes, barely a tablespoon of stuffing (overly moist), a couple of small turkey slices, green beans and a little bit of light brown gravy. No flavor, no roll, no cranberry sauce, no napkin or utensils. I have waited for so long for pumpkin pie. My husband is not fond of it so he ordered, as an extra, a cinnamon roll. That way, I'd enjoy 2 pumpkin pies! Instead of pumpkin, we received 2 apple pies. read more

I eat varied items, the breakfasts are varied and support designing your own. Mondays offer free pie, exceptional value. I love the wild berry pie even if it has the lowest calories. Dinners, salads, soups can also make a quick snack. No alcohol is served. Bathrooms are always clean. read more

Four of us went to breakfast at Perkins on Sunday morning. The restaurant was really busy, but we were immediately seated and a waitress took our drink orders. She returned with the drinks quickly and took our food order. The food was also served in short order. Everyone at our table commented on the quick service, how hot and delicious the food was. We were all impressed with our waitress. She was very pleasant, efficient and attentive even though she was waiting on several other tables. In summary this Perkins staff and food are superb.

Despite various reviews, we gave it a try. We got in about a hour before they closed so it was not crowded at all. There were a couple of older patrons at different tables. We were seated promptly, ordered our food and were served quickly. Not sure if it was because they trying to go home but our customer service was good. I had the all the way/American smasher with a side of sausage gravy and he had the Mediterranean smasher. Mine a looked a little bigger than his but they were both good and filling. Like I said, they were closing down so the only complaint was the male server was vacuuming next to us but it was only a couple of minutes. We enjoyed our food, never felt rushed and will probably come back again. read more

I haven't been in here in almost 8 years. The last time I was in here we vowed not to come back. Why? Because it was dingy looking from the moment we got inside, everything screamed "old outdated diner" even the salt and pepper shakers appeared to have not been cleaned in decades. I honestly don't remember how the food tasted only that we were grossed out by the environment. Today I was alone and gave it a chance, 8 years later. And you know what ??! What a huge improvement! First off they changed all of their lighting so it's bright inside like an ihop or a Denny's and it looks like they spent some money on renovations, new coloring, a more open air appearance . The menus looked updated too. And everything was clean. My food was delicious. And they have a promoted in house bakery menu with slices and whole pies. Glad I gave it a chance today . read more

So we never went to any perkins before. Today we decided to go since they offer free breakfast for Veterans so it was for us the occasion to try it on. The place is clean and the staff nice. Brian our server was very nice, it's not always easy to serve people that you know are eating for free because the risk is that they will not tip. Well he did his job with smile. So thank you Brian for serving us. The food was good and I'm certainly not going to complain over free food. We will come back and try it again. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Was visiting my parents for Christmas and on our way out of town we stopped here for brunch. Man I have seen some seriously shitty food but this place leaves me speechless. My wife ordered an omelet with avocado and what was served had black avocado on it. No lie. I was shocked and when we sent it back she said it was all like that. What kind of donkey in a kitchen sends out spoiled avocado? Take it off the menu. The rest of the meal was no better. Bland eggs, over salted and dried up greasy left over home fries etc etc etc. In Seattle this place would have been shut down by the health department or closed from lack of business. I guess the rules are different in Melbourne. I feel sorry for folks who think this is eating out because it was not cheap. It was similar to prices in Seattle but 10% of the quality. ABSOLUTELY. DISGUSTING. Dont eat here. Period. Ever. read more

Mother's Day was very busy but the staff is efficient and I was really pleased that it wasn't at all noisy! Wish other restaurants were that way. One complaint: The sign outside clearly said "Mothers Eat Free" for Mother's Day. Not really. We were a party of three. Mom had a $12 entree, daughter had a $13 entree and dad had an $8 entree. Dad was the one who "ate for free" because "the computer discounts the least expensive entree." Come on--either Mom eats for free or she doesn't. Misleading advertising. read more

Food was quick and the service was great. You may be surprised to know this location is not 24 hr like the rest. Only rating a four star because I overhead someone ask for more decaf and the waitress refused to brew more because they were closing soon. The couple was older and I felt bad for them. Its the difference between the original Perkins customer service and the upsetting way the world has changed since then. That seemed outrageous to me to deny someone coffee in a bakery diner lol.

Melbourne Main Street has an amazing number of breakfast and brunch places. But the one I admire the most is The Roots Restaurant Tavern, which I will shorthand simply to The Roots for the remainder of this review. Though an address is provided, it must be stressed The Roots is a little "off the mainstreet" of Melbourne Main Street. Just west of the train tracks, the road splits in which the northernly direction is the continuation of New Haven Ave. or the actual Melbourne Main Street. The Roots is on the southern road, right next to The Iron Oak. Take note that The Roots is quite a cozy location. On the outside, The Roots has this look of an old saloon out in the wild west. There are a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating, excellent for people-viewing while eating your meal. Inside, The Roots looks delightfully tacky with all the knick-knacks hanging around and about on the walls. Imagine how Cracker Barrel used to look before the new CEO decided the decor should be more minimalist. But my statement on how The Roots looks small from the outside definitely shows when you are inside, too. The place is small. They definitely utilize the space as best they could, with large party seating being in the back for only one party. Still, take note of this limitation. My waitresses were very kind and attentive when serving me. But I am sure you all want to know about the food. The times I have eaten here, I have had three meals: The Eggs Benny Flight, and Pancake Flight, and Shrimp n' Grits. I will detail each in the pictures of food (if I have them), but I will say that everything here was delicious. My one lone criticism is that some of these flights are best enjoyed with another, not by yourself. On a sidenote, the restroom is clean and stocked, but there is only one and it is unisex. As I said earlier, The Roots is the best breakfast and brunch restaurant, well for me, in Historic Downtown Melbourne. So it is understandable why I am giving them a five-out-of-five stars for their review. Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent and the issues are way too minimal for me to consider them having any major affect. If you are ever going to eat at The Roots only once. My suggestion are the flights. Either eggs bennies, pancakes, or mimosas, you can't go wrong with any of them.

It's a cute place and fun to go to. I got the pancake flight and loved I could pick different…read moreflavors

Shannon was our waitress and she was incredibly sweet, charismatic, and attentive. She made us feel right at home and added such a positive energy to the whole experience. I ordered the "Kahili" Rainbow Bowl and my husband had the biscuit sliders with delicious tiki bacon!!! Both dishes were flavorful and absolutely delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. You could tell care went into the preparation and presentation. We both ordered the Frothy Coffee, which ended up being one of our favorite parts of the meal. It was such a unique and fun touch and made the whole breakfast feel a little more special. It was delicious and different from your typical coffee drink. Everything from the food to the service made this a memorable stop during our trip. We enjoyed it so much that we're already hoping to come back again before we fly home. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Melbourne and looking for a delicious breakfast with great service.
