Great food and great service. Portions are big and the breakfast was delicious. I will go back.

Service, food, & staff-- good. But. $3.89 for coffee is. RIDICULOUS. Water w/lemon in the future I'll give 4 stars...... 5 if coffee was lower read more

Food was really good and Wynnie was very nice, funny, and joyful. I will definitely be returning!

This review has nothing to do what the service or the food but values. My staff and I meet at perkins twice a month for a lunch meeting. My family and I eat there often after sunday service. It was sad to find out that Perkins in Newark, will not hire you if you request to have off Sunday mornings for church. Do you know how many christians support your business? This is sad. My daughter was told even after she said shake it work afternoon in the evening that if she could not give all day on sunday to work that she could not even be considered. That should have been told upfront so that she would not have to waste her time and gas for the interview. This may not mean anything to some people, but to others it may. read more

We went for a late breakfast on a weekday and there were just a few other customers. The food came within a few minutes. The waitress left the check and disappeared with a promise to return to check on us which she didn't. The food was not good. The bacon was burned, the creamed chip beef was watery, and the potato pancakes tasted bland. All of this could have been fixed if our waitress had bothered to pay us a visit. We complained to our waitress and the cashier before we left and neither seemed to care. I've never experienced such utter disregard for customer satisfaction. As a small business owner I wouldn't dream of letting a customer leave thinking I just didn't care about their satisfaction. We won't be back. read more

The food is nothing to rave about. I go because it's convenient and cheap and the service is great. Today, however, I experienced a first at Perkins. (Honestly it's a first for a dining experience in general). The apparent assistant manager shrugged his shoulders in response to us asking for something different. My boyfriend doesn't like too much meat, and he ordered a dish with A LOT of meat. (He didn't read the menu smh). We alerted this assistant manager after having taken only one bite. This man shrugged his shoulders and said "it's already made." The waitress handled it. Should've gone to her first. read more

Well...I'm a very happy customer! I ordered the breakfast burger and potato soup and it was absolutely delicious!! My waiter recommended the soup so of course I couldn't wait to try the burger... To my surprise I did enjoy them both. To the cook/chef keep doing a great job. Reminded me of the good ole days when my dad would bring us here read more

I can't get over how Perkins nails delivery every time. NAILED IT. Since March and the beginning of the apocalypse, we've ordered at least five times. We've not jumped around the menu too much. I will give props to the chicken and biscuit breakfast. I'm not a biscuit nor a gravy person, but that dish is pretty darn tasty. Love the waffles, brioche french toast and the hot cakes. We've tried the corned beef hash, and omelettes and have yet to have a bad meal. Even the orange juice is so addictive I've started buying it for home again. We tend to over order and have leftovers the next day. Even their eggs are absolutely delicious on day two. I've had to lessen my distaste for chain joints over the last year, and this one has won me over. My arteries hate you but my love of tasty tidbits applauds. read more

Clean and quite place to start the beautiful day. No rush, no loud music, everything is going smooth there in the early morning. Got the "everything" for my first visit here. The entree's with variety of veggies like onions, green pepper, potato etc. that's why called "everythingTotally are good, especially the lady served us this morning. Good breakfast restaurant in the Newark area. read more

Perkins is always a busy place but they continue to amaze me on the efficiency and friendliness. Twice recently I was in a large group of over 10 people. The waitress and support help were excellent. They never seem to get flustered by anything.The food is very good and they clear dirty dishes quickly. I can't say enough about this place. I recommend Perkins ! read more

I went to Perkins today with some friends from work and we had a middling to negative experience. Yes, the restaurant was busy, and perhaps it wasn't our waitress's fault that she had a lot of tables to attend to. Sure, blame poor management, I don't care. We did not get the best service and that can be chalked up to whatever you wish. I ordered the Smokehouse Barbeque Smasher, and was immediately disappointed to note that the tots around the edges were not smashed. The waitress explained that the tots under the eggs, cheese sauce and pulled pork were, in fact, smashed, but while consuming this item I could hardly notice the presence of anyone potato products on the bottom, smashed or otherwise. The cheese sauce had an overpowering and disgusting flavor, and the pulled pork just tasted like Slim Jims. Gross. One of my dining companions had biscuits with his omelette, and the biscuits were rock hard. Some guests at our table asked for coffee early in our meal and waited fifteen minutes for it to arrive. A few of my friends said that they liked their food, but whether or not they were just saying so to be polite, I could not discern. This place was honestly kinda ratchet and I wasn't digging the scene. I ate here because my colleagues invited me to join, and the experience was unpleasant and I shall not return. read more

Perkins is a gem. I've never had an entree I didn't enjoy. As one review put it, it's ihop on steroids, And unlike IHOP the food always tastes fresh. It's the closest thing to grandmas cooking you'll get as far as breakfast goes. I highly recommend trying their muffins, my favorite is the lemon poppyseed. For the price and quality it's definitely worth a try! read more

This Perkins is in Liberty Plaza / Possum Park Mall on Kirkwood Highway. This restaurant is insanely busy on weekend mornings and the restaurant staff do get a bit harried and start making mistakes, but I found that they'll try their best to correct any slip-ups. If you don't like a crowd and if you don't want to drive all over the strip mall looking for a parking space, you'll do a lot better visiting this restaurant on a weekday evening. For the most part, their breakfast food is acceptable in quality and reasonably priced. I prefer to order from their breakfast menu, even at dinner time, but that's mostly a matter of taste. Service is decent. I notice they often have UD college students working the tables and register. read more

I had a really great brunch at Perkins. Tristian our waiter was amazing and he handled all of his tables equally. Tristian was very polite, and our food came prompt and hot. I ordered the hearty healthy omelet with a side of avocado, while my bff ordered grits hash browns and pancakes. We both loved our food and will return for my next visit to Delaware. There was a big crowd to match with all of the flavorful delectable options. There were also many pie options. I spotted a coconut custard that looked soo delicious. read more

I am really surprised when I saw this all-day-crowded restaurant has a very low number of reviews and decided to write something. This restaurant is a great diner to eat any time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, whenever I was there, what I ate was great. Even if 50 person waiting in front of the restaurant, it does not take more than 10 minutes to get in. I did not counted but I think there are nearly 80 tables served at a time all day. I can assure you will be getting up full and happy. PS the prices are also decent. read more

I have been to this Perkins location several times for breakfast and I have always been impressed with the service and food. Tonight my wife and I stopped in at 6:45 PM and the place that they were going to seat us at was a table that the waitress just cleaned. The floor underneath the table was filled with food and papers from previous customers; extremely dirty. Additionally the table they were going to sit us on was all wet from the quick cleaning. We left and ate at a nearby Korean Barbecue. read more

This is a favorite place for breakfast! Great staff breakfast potatoes are the best! Reasonable prices , clean, The pies are delicious!! read more

Breakfast was beyond amazing!!! Tons of food, perfectly cooked and still good and hot when I went to pick it up! Staff was courteous and immediately receptive when I walked in. The dessert selection is incredible, so I had to take a few sweets with me as well. Also, plenty of condiments included and carefully packed for me to carry and bring home. I might never cook breakfast myself again...no...I will...but it won't be as good as what I got here. read more

No other breakfast place could ever compare to Perkins. Imagine IHOP on steroids, but with a shitload of old people. Fast and friendly service, big menu, big portions, very low price. I've been here a few times and I can tell you it's in my top 10. My partner and I each grabbed a huge breakfast here this morning for only $20 -- commodities included pancakes, meats, eggs, and hashbrowns for both. Such variety, and the bakery menu is ever-changing... the strawberry rhubarb pie they offer during the spring and summer is so good! The food is great, and I love the sausage links -- crispy and salty on the outside, moist on the inside. I always look forward to them, and I always love coming here... I leave happy every time! By the way.... this location is NOT the one that someone died of tainted pancakes at. Watch out for that one in Avondale, PA. read more

One of my favorite breakfast places around! I have loved this place for years and years but recently they have really stepped their menu game up. Special menus and themes add more food for me to fall in love with . I have tried something new the last 2 times I went in - when before I always had a go-to (potato pancakes). First I had an omelet with tater tots inside of it - so amazingly delicious that I am hungry now just writing this ! Next time I had the pancake dippers - yummy and an amazing idea that I immediately tried to recreate at home ! Great place to go for breakfast ! read more

Above average food with reasonable prices, but I was horrified at what I saw when I went into the bathroom. An employee, around the age of twenty, was snorting cocaine at the sink. I was staring at him as he turned around towards me but he didn't even acknowledge that what he was doing in the presence of a customer was disturbing. He turned back around and kept on doing cocaine. I will not be back again. read more

Apparently they have a new cook. Items brought to table were not as described on the menu. Salad supposed to have turkey and strawberries but came with none. Pot roast sandwich with no onions and no cheese. Give the kitchen a copy of the menu and ask them to read it. read more

This place is crazy busy every morning because it is so cheap and they have everything you want. I didn't believe that I would have trouble at 10.30 on a Tuesday morning getting a seat here but I did. The average age of the customer is 70. I imagine there is really no point in saying anything should be different about this place as it is obviously 100% doing fine. But that being said wouldn't it be nice if they replaced the carpet, painted the walls and maybe considered new furniture. The pancakes were pretty excellent. I like that I got three eggs. The breakfast sausages were better tasting than most. read more

Always love going here! Food and service are always excellent ! That's why I was disappointed tonight when I picked up my Birthday Magnificent Seven meal,get it home, and there was only one sausage.:( Too far to go back at this time of night. Guess I should have checked it before cashier put it in bag. read more

This is a great stop for breakfast. The food has been very food and the price is very reasonable! Service has always been quick and efficient! Great stop for me on my way to work!! read more

Based on my experience I came to the conclusion that time works differently in this restaurant in comparison to the rest of the universe. The hostess said 20-25 minutes wait but I think we waited for nearly 40 minutes. I think this building should be donated to science to help better understand the relationship of time and space. Hungry but fascinated. Update: the eggs were cooked perfectly. read more

I just went to this location for breakfast and it was terrible. Ordered eggs over medium, they came out with egg whites mostly liquid. Asked for crispy bacon and had to send that back with the eggs. The hash browns were also undercooked. The new eggs came back with the whites fried hard. My meal came with a "smoked sausage" that was literally a grilled hot dog. Within 15 minutes of leaving I had stomach discomfort. read more

This is probably my last tripto this Perkins seems the wait staff does not know the menu or what can be done for customers example twice now have gotten same waiter my wife ordered chicken salad with grapes and walnut the menu says it comes open Face french roll. Which my wife cannot have on her diet so she gets it on rye toast it comes on one slice of bread. So she has to order another bread for $1.79 for the life of me I know not why. Guestion the waiter and he says it has to be open Face yet other times my wife orders it and gets a whole sandwich. What goes here management thanks to this waiter I will be traveling to eat at Perkins in Avondale the better of the two we think. read more

Best breakfast in town! Friendly staff. Quick service. But most of all great food. Pancakes are my favorite. I like having the choice of three different syrups, even though I end up with maple. read more

The good was great, service was also great especially for 10:30 on a Sunday!! Food was hot and amazing. I did take off one star because we had to wait 30 mins for a table which isn't bad but the place where you have to wait is very small I had to stand next to the door with my back facing a customers table and I wasn't very comfortable with that but other than that very good!! And I've never eaten at Perkins and it will be my new go to for Sunday morning hangover breakfast!! Also was pretty cheap read more

I don't know why this place has gone down-hill so much in the past year. A few weeks ago was the "give them another try" visit. I complained when the manager asked how things were and he acted rude about it. THEN I found a hair in my hash browns. I showed the server and also said that I did NOT want to speak to the manager again. She took my breakfast off the bill but I won't be back. I used to go there weekly. I heard they were going bankrupt. Sad. read more

There are many things about Newark, Delaware that made me miss good ol' NYC. And although the University of Delaware is super fun, you can't find a slice of pizza at 3am, there are no cabs for you to take once it starts raining, and the streets are empty and silent after midnight. But alas, Newark did something right, and that something is Perkins Restaurant. Yes, it is diner-esque, but much more family-oriented and upscale. For a late breakfast one weekend while visiting a dear friend, I was able to get an omelet with a side of three pancakes for only 7 bucks. Also, my meal came with the most INCREDIBLE breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Seriously, they were divine and alone are worth three stars. I had to knock of a star for the sub-par coffee and the waitress was a little unavailable, but Perkins was fabulous otherwise. I would definitely make my way over there again whenever I was back in DE. P.S. Order the peanut butter pie, because it's just too good for words. read more

Food is ok. Baked goods are superb and prices are very reasonable. Early bird specials are fantastic, especially for home cooked meals, ie meatloaf, liver & onions, pot roast. read more
