Honey Mustard Chicken Crunch Salad
Dan M.

We had to wait around 40 minutes to be seated because they were low on staff. There were multiple tables open, but just not enough people to wait which was unfortunate to see. It seemed to be like someone was late, or somebody came in on their off day because when we were seated, there were more people working. Regardless, it was not ideal to wait for so long, but we toughed it out due to some circumstances in my party. This was a standard chain establishment with a lot more unique entrées than I would have thought. I had a honey mustard chicken crunch salad ($15.39). It came with crispy chicken strips, sweet red onions, red peppers, tomatoes, American cheese, Applewood smoked bacon and honey mustard dressing on fresh garden greens. This was not too bad. The chicken was definitely crispy while all of the other ingredients appeared to be fresh. The key was the honey mustard dressing as it brought everything together. I also tried some biscuits that were decent at best too. They needed to be a little fluffier. Will I go back? Possibly.

So So Gouda Burger
Art C.

A good lunch I stopped in expecting to order breakfast, even though it was noon. After a couple of minutes, I was shown to a table and my server came by to take my drink order. The first piece of menu I looked at was for burgers, burgers with fries and a slice of pie. A slice of pie too? That sounded good, and it was. I ended up ordering something called a So So Gouda Burger, a burger with of course a slice of Gouda, but also with bacon, onion tangles (aka onion strings), Perkin's signature sauce, and the usual LTO, all on a Brioche bun. It stacked quite high on the plate. The burger came with a generous side of fries, and that slice of pie. I went with cherry. The burger was a winner, I liked the fries, and I definitely enjoyed the pie at the end of my meal. While the pie looked a bit flat, it was delicious, including the crust. Sure, I can go anyplace and order a burger and also order something for dessert, but this just seemed better, and it was priced like the pie was free. Good marketing. Service was fine. It started off a bit abrupt but after I was eating it was softer and more helpful. So why just 4 stars? One reason, it took 25 minutes from the time I placed my order until I had the burger.

A whole lotta margarine and a little bit of toast
Julien D.

There a multiple ceiling tiles that are missing or filled with boxes. There's even a booth that has all of its ceiling tiles blown out from water At least the food was good.

This is what I got for a medium prime rib last night!

Needless to say I was not impressed with what I received in my takeout order compared to what was advertised in the email. In fact what I received wasn't even edible. I did order 2 slice of pie, which was in addition to the dinner for a total of $33+.

Free refills on raspberry lemonade & soft drinks!

The food was very good. The staff, including the manager, was rude and surly. I felt like a burden rather than a welcome customer.

The service was very good. She gave us time with the menu and checked back throughout the meal…read more We tried their iced coffee and Hank's diet root beer. The iced coffee was very good but also expensive for what you get. Hank's was below average. The root beer flavor was almost nonexistent. Maybe the regular root beer would be better. We ordered the French dip with tots and the Feathered Philly with fries. We really liked the tots and French fries and would give them a 5 out of 5 stars. The beef on the French dip lacked flavor as did the au jus. The beef reminded us of sliced deli roast beef not something the was marinated in spices for a period of time. Would give the French dip 2.5-3 stars. The chicken and onions on the Feathered Philly were better. They were seasoned and hot off the grill. Would give them 3.5 stars. The hoagie buns were good but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is great! Love how the decorated the most place. They have a great outdoor area to have your meal and a great concert area. I bet this place is really a great time for live music. It's connected to / next to the Harley dealer so I'm sure the have a high number of bikes on weekends and for the concerts. Parking for cars is limited by the restaurant but the have a parking lot across the street. Plenty of bike parking.

Loved our visit to this beautiful restaurant! The inside is super bright and has these fun trees,…read morewe sat outdoors which has a nice sunset view over the nearby pond. The food was fantastic! We started with the blue crab and artichoke fondue which I would highly recommend. It was plenty to share and came with a few different dipping options. It was cheesy without being excessively heavy. I got the mussels and fries as my dinner. The mussels were good, very standard, no notes on them. The fries were particularly good though. They were perfectly crisp, very hot like they were made to order, and topped with a lovely sprinkle of parmesan and drizzle truffle aioli. Had I been exceptionally hungry I'm not sure if this would have been enough as an entree, but there were definitely plenty of mussels if you're looking for a lighter meal or to share amongst the table. The rest of my party got the grouper, miso cod, and wagyu flatiron. They all had nothing but good things to say about their meals. I tried the strawberry haze to drink. It wasn't my favorite but that was more due to personal preference than the preparation itself. I wasn't expecting the charred strawberry to come through in the way that it did. Our server was very nice and answered the few questions we had. I would absolutely come back here to try their other menu items.

We went for a Birthday celebration on buffet day…read more Food was good. No one had a complaint. My complaint - bathrooms were disgusting and the service took forever! It was a buffet - getting me an iced tea shouldn't take 15 minutes. We didn't have silverware or napkins. Just not organized very well. We did have a reservation so the table was ready but not really "ready" Like I said, food was really good. They had mushroom raviolis and they were delish! If you do not eat buffet style food - don't go - they do not do any menu service.

They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.
