This place is an upgraded dinner. The food was pretty good however, the hash browns were very bland and tastless. The service was good. The business was slow due to weather, I believe. read more

Once a year, when back in Iowa over the Summer, I always go to this restaurant and bakery once after a workout for my egg whites and breakfast potatoes. I love that you can make your own omelette and they do egg whites. Bring a vegetarian and that I don't do dairy, I'm limited to veggie omelettes so note the veggies available for omelette a here are limited but they are fresh and tasty. The omelette is delicious and I love the breakfast potatoes. They are prepared perfectly - crispy but not too crispy and definitely not too soft inside. Just perfect! read more

See all

Absolutely terrible experience. It was Father's day, so we expected a bit of a wait. But, when we got inside there were quite a few tables that were open. It took about 10 minutes to even have someone ask how many people we had in our party and then another 5 to even get seated. Our waitress came over took our drink order and seemed like she would have rather been anywhere else except serving. We waited about an hour for our food and it came with terrible portions for the price we paid. Our waitress didn't once come over to see if we needed refills and then handed us our receipts when we got our food without saying anything to us. Overall, rude service and not a good experience. I get having a stressful shift but we were very respectful and nice and our waitress didn't once say hi bye thank you or smile. Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - The cold 2 bite egg that I received. - Bakeries Near Me - Milford, Iowa

Family and I come here every year and generously tip. Usually the service is good. Went out for breakfast after the 4th and didn't have to wait much, but the server Dustilyn was very rude. The only time she spoke to us was when she asked what we wanted to drink and introduced herself. Never stopped to check up on us but brought out the receipt a couple minutes after brining out our food. She set the receipt on the table and walked away without saying a word to us. Hope she will see this receive and do better. Did not tip. read more

The food that we ordered was too salty and cold. I do realize that it was Father's day so it took little longer to get our food. I heard in the kitchen that cook was swearing and yelling at other coworkers. on my moms plate the chicken was hard and chewy. We will not be coming back to any Perkins what so ever read more

Gayle, Scott, and I took Rod for a Father's Day breakfast last Sunday. Apparently, a lot of people had the same idea, but the wait for our nice booth was only about 15 minutes. I understand that post-COVID (if we're really there - Iowa appears to think so) that restaurants are short staffed. However, based on the excellent service we received, you'd never know it. I wish I remember the waiter's name, because he was fabulous, energetic, and informative. That rubs off on family dynamic too, especially since we were already in a good mood. I hope he feels that we tipped accordingly. The food was a series of egg and omelet dishes, but at the same time we all ended up with pancakes. I think none of us had had these in a long time, that it was a special treat for all. All was delicious, and mostly ended up with clean plates. Yes, Perkin's is a chain and if you want a great "Mom and Pop" place the Grove Cafe (Downtown) is just a few minutes away, albeit in a much smaller space. What I continue to like about Perkins is that it has such a wide variety of offerings and you pretty much know what you're going to get most every time. And it certainly made my almost 93 year-old Dad happy. read more

Terrible service. Waitress took 10 minutes to take our initial drink order, another 10 for our food order, waited 30 minutes for our food, and then never saw her again. A couple in the booth next to us waited 25 minutes, never got their water, so they left. And no one seemed to notice or care. Restaurant was not super busy. Waitress had maybe 5 tables, and kept disappearing to the back. I would never eat here again. read more

Our server Kori was great. She was working hard with a huge crowd. Breakfast Perkins,

My friend and I were feeling peckish so we stopped here as we were done shopping at Menard's. The waitress was nice and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean. While my food was delicious and fine, I will say that my friend did not enjoy his meal as much. He wanted a medium rare steak and it came out as well done. He also had some not so great experience prior at this same restaurant . So this dampened his mood even more. For that I took off 2 stars. read more

I keep trying to avoid and not like this place... But I keep coming back and I keep having awesome food. Literally everything I've had here has been surprisingly delicious. And their cookies and muffins... Holy cow. Sooooo YUMM The only problem is I have to stand at the register alone waiting to pay every time. read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - Fudge brownie supreme YESSS - Bakeries Near Me - Milford, Iowa

The waitress was great, my burger and the kid's meals were okay, but the pie was a joke. I got a piece to go for my husband. It was much smaller than an almost $5 piece of pie should be! When I asked the already rude and unfriendly cashier if the slices were always that small, she looked at me like I was stupid and said yes. read more

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - FYI- this is what Perkins considers a $5 piece of pie! For reference, the container is about the size of my hand. - Bakeries Near Me - Milford, Iowa

Stopped here with my son Mark because he was hungry. I give it 4 stars because he really liked the food. Me? Not so good. It's just another one of those chain restaurants that relies on it's reputation and that's not always a good thing. So it gets 2 stars for me. The BLT I had was so bad couldn't even finish it. Lettuce was wilted, tomatoes were warm and the bacon was only half cooked, yuk. Nuff said read more

good food and waitress (Christy or Christie) but DID NOT appreciate the cashier telling the waitress that we didn't tip her. yes we did. RUDE! This visit was April 2017 read more

Food was not anything special. Not real hot for cook to order. No one checked in after food was brought out. Did not get refills until we asked when they brought the bill. Overall very disappointed. read more

Long waits to be seated as the host tells every single party "about 15 minutes." Then long waits for food. Flighty server presence for refills and such. And perhaps it's just me but not only have prices gone up in recent years but the food quality (at least breakfast items) seems to have declined. My hungry man's breakfast platter had rather unique mini-sausages and paper thin bacon. Overall disappointing experience after expecting something special from previous visits to the family restaurant. read more

This is my favorite place to go on a Sunday afternoon with my family and friends. The cookies and pies are delicious!

Exactly what I expected. Service was alright, food was generic chain-diner... Nothing special, nothing horrible.

Hands-down the best place for breakfast! Whether morning, noon or night, if you want breakfast Perkins is the place to go. And if you will be dining with someone less enthusiastic about breakfast than yourself, fear not for Perkins offers a wide array of lunch and dinner options. The place is casual, and the service is consistent. The patrons tend to be older or of college age. Expect a long wait and slower service on Sunday's after church--no surprise there. Come for generous portions of delicious breakfast food. Return for the same generous portions of delicious breakfast food! That's what I do! read more

I arrived during a slow time with only 5 other small tables occupied. I waited over 15 minutes to even see a server, but a table that was seated next to me only waited 4 minutes. I'm very very disappointed in the lack of service. read more

Service sucks. Waitress was slow and inattentive to our table. Never asked us how our food was. Pop was flat, and forgot our sauces.

This place is definitely only getting four stars from me because of one person... her name was Karen and whatever Perkins pays her they should seriously give this lady a raise. I've never had better service than from that woman. The food here was definitely a two star but Karen definitely made up for it. There was six of us in here and she did a stellar job taking care of us. We ordered a few steaks and you could tell the cook had them sitting under a heat lamp.. seriously? We told Karen about it and the steaks came right back and had obviously just been cooked to perfection. I got the breakfast platter with the biscuits and gravy. Surprisingly the biscuits and gravy wasn't too bad but I don't think they can beat home cookin on that one! :) We all got decent portion sizes and everyone enjoyed their food for the most part. All in all, for where it's located, Perkins is a decent place to stop off at and grab some dinner after a nice day of fishing at the lake.. especially if you were like us and didn't catch anything worth keeping :( read more

Food was what you'd expect of Perkins but someone at our table got a very lipstick stained coffee mug. Not a huge deal but the waitress took the cup (no apology or comment) and asked if we were ready to order. She was politely asked if she could bring the clean mug first. She looked very put out then turned to another table and took their order. She did, of course eventually bring the cup and take our order... read more

The service was pathetic. Or party of 5 waited for 1.5 hours and never recieved our food.

Bad service didn't even get my fries I ordered till half an hour after I got my food.
