Perkins American Food - Omelet (build your own with sausage, ham, American cheese), House brown with cheese, sub toast for French toast. - Bakeries Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

Terrible service. They just don't care. Apathy is the best way to describe the wait staff and manager. Edin was our waiter. I told him no tomato since I was allergic. Food came with tomato. I requested napkins when he dropped off the food. Edin dropped off the food and disappeared for 20 minutes. He never returned. We asked the hostess to refill drinks. We took our pie to go and kindly explained the neglect to the acting manager. I wouldn't eat here again. The place appeared slow and not busy. The parking lot was mostly empty and we were the only people in the eating area. read more

The menu is what you would expect for a knock off version of Denny's." Breakfast staples (eggs, meats, hash browns, pancakes, etc.), burgers, over-processed sauces and entrees. There is also a bakery with oversized muffins and deserts. The service is terrible. No upfront to acknowledge guests, slow seating, slow beverage service, slow order taking, slow meal production. The only thing that came fast was the bill. And, of course, you can't pay at the table - you have to walk the bill to the front lobby and pay there. Because, why make things easy for guests. It was $70 for three meals. Not even close to being worth it. I went for pancakes, which are always good at Perkins, but it feels like they hate customers. read more

It sucks and it taste bad and the people that work there are dumb and stupid and they hate the customers and there was hair in food and there was spit in my food how could I tell easy there was spit dots in it read more

Did you know that you can pretty much ask for anything be made to your liking? I went here for breakfast/brunch with my mom and her friend the other day. I noticed that there was a veggie omelet, but the veggies offered were onions and green peppers. I know according to their menu, they have spinach, broccoli, asparagus, and many other veggies. I didn't know what I was going to eat. They don't have many light or healthier options for those who aren't huge breakfast eaters. No granola and yogurt, and no cereal except on a kids menu maybe, we didn't have one of those. My mom's friend told me that I can order whatever I wanted, and they should be able to accommodate, one time she just wanted 1 Egg. And so she ordered 1 Egg. I thought that was an interesting turn of events, so I looked over the menu and decided on what I wanted that was offered, regardless of where it was offered. I ordered a Veggie Omelet, with Cheddar Cheese, Broccoli, Spinach, and Green Peppers. I have to say it was one of the prettiest sites I had seen as far as breakfast goes. My mother ordered the 55 plus omelet and had my side of hash browns and toast, since I didn't want any of that extra stuff that comes with a regular omelet order. Overall the waitress, Kelly was very nice and not to helicopter-ish, she did give us a few tips as to let her know when we were ready, so she isn't a bother, which was really nice. Usually waiters either visit your table to often or not enough. This way was helpful to both parties. The bathrooms were clean but a little small. I would definitely come here again if it is still open next time I'm in St Cloud and if I'm going out for breakfast. I believe a lot of Perkins are closing around Minnesota, why, I don't know. But it will be sad because they are a good staple in the community. Great breakfast, and great deals. read more

I stopped there for breakfast and now I remember why I don't go there. The omelette was bland and seemed like a 9 year old made it. But the pan cakes were outstanding. The Chocolate Chocolate Chip muffin which I was so looking forward to, was hard and seemed like it came from their two day old bakery goods table, and didn't have great flavor (Costco's are much better!). The service was great though. Nici did a great job. read more

Been there 3 times after appointments. Conveniently close to medical buildings. Not bad, had their french toast and bacon (can be somewhat fatty). Other foods were club sandwiches and fries, normally a good choice. My hubby has done club sandwiches or a hamburger. Fries are nicely done. Service isn't bad, waiting for our food has had some delays, usually when it's busy. read more

We were quickly seated for lunch. As always, Perkins had a great selection on the menu, and their desserts are fresh and awesome!

Angela, my waitress, was top notch! Had coffee and water in a flash. Checked in with all the customers around me with grace and joy ; what a ray of sunshine! Restaurant very clean, host was brilliantly upbeat, food was fresh, hot, better breakfast then my homemade. Loved how much cheer was in the air! read more

We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The service was outstanding, Nici was our server. It was very busy but we got our food very quickly. We ordered off the 55 plus menu. The food was excellent and there was plenty to fill us up. The atmosphere was upbeat and friendly. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

We were in the area for a concert on Friday night and stopped there on Saturday morning. The food was excellent. Great portion size, hot, great presentation. Excellent service, clean restaurant, amazing server. Our map showed us they had 2 stars, but we took the chance anyway. Didn't disappoint!!! read more

I used to frequent this Perkins weekly. We stopped going here because of the smoke odor. They allowed smoking up until the Minnesota ban. Then they had a fire. The restaurant was closed for months. It's been remodeled and recently re-opened. It's much better than it used to be. You'll find a good, freshly prepared breakfast here. I'm not a fan of their non-breakfast food, but if you're looking for an omelette or pancakes, you know they'll be prepared fresh and not frozen. They also have great muffins, cookies, and pies. This is a decent place for meeting friends or family. They have a lot of space and the restaurant is seldom full. read more

These people certainly know how to run their butts off! Came in on a Sunday, it was packed! The food came out in a reasonable time considering how many people were in the restaurant eating! I was very pleased with our visit and will be returning very soon! read more

Service was super slow. Never coming back here again. Wouldn't recommend. Food not worth the money.​

The service is very slow. I waited over an hour just to get food. Would not recommend. Never coming back again​

We are from the West Coast and have never heard of or been to Perkins before. But I wanted breakfast on a Friday night and it was the only option we could find that served all day breakfast. This place was a crap shoot from start to finish. First thing we walk into is the host standing behind the counter. We wait, no problem. Eventually he walks up to the menu's doesn't even look at us and just say's "two?". Then takes us to our table. He seemed annoyed at our presence. Okay, whatever. Then the waitress comes. She has a serious case of resting bitch face and also seems irritated we are there. She takes our order and then we never see her again for 20 minutes. We needed refills, but no one came by. We were in a corner by ourselves and man did they make us feel like it. She finally brings us our food and asks us what we were drinking for refills.. She comes back with completely different drinks then what we told her. Now let's start with the food. My order was cold and not even made right. I am not talking like I had a special request and they didn't do it right. I am talking it wasn't even made right from what was described on the menu... How do you mess up your own menu item?!! I asked for eggs over medium, my eggs were both broken and dry. There was cheese on the top, the food was so cold it didn't melt. It was gross.. Pancakes were good though. The other person I went with asked for no tomatoes on his burger, Got them anyways. Fries were cold It was like no one at this restaurant gave a crap and you could tell they were just doing things half-ass'd. The waitress finally comes back to ask us about our check. Now she decides to smile and be chipper.We go up to the counter to pay, the host is there, the entire time we were paying he did not look up at us once. You can tell they all hate their jobs. When we left I saw a "Now hiring" sign on the door, I joked "they've really sold me on ever wanting to work here! Looks like a blast!". Summery of the visit: I was ready to walk out the first 20 minutes and I wish I would of. Arby's would of been a better dinner. This was my first and LAST time going to Perkins. read more

Would not recommend first we walked in took about 39 mins to be helped with no one here waiting for food then we get up there to pay my card was charged and the Machine messes up so they want me to re-pay and I refused to and showed them that my account was charged then one of the table bussers or cook not sure runs up to the front being extra rude read more

Do not go there on a Sunday night. Myself, with my mom, dad, and sister went there and it looked like a dump. Plates were on the tables from who knows how long and there were just only a few tables that were clean and it was not busy at all. When we were seated and got our drinks, we didn't decide right away what we wanted to eat and asked for a few minutes to decide. Few minutes became more like 30 minutes. And what was the waiters and waitresses doing? One was on his phone. While the others were chatting. We had enough and walked out pretty much. I have never seen them go down like that and they even have a hiring sign up. Might as well close down and fire those employees because that was awful. I wished the downtown one didn't close because they were so much better than that one. At least they care to actually work. read more

I have no idea why this place has two stars. I've been here twice in two days now. The service I got here was better than any Dennys or Cocos. Yesterday I came at 1pm and it was busy. I'm here today at 11:45 and the place is packed. I almost didn't walk in thinking there would be a line. The only reason I can think of for this place being 2 stars is that the clientele here appear to fall into two categories - "seasoned" individuals who probably don't have cell phones more less use Yelp and parents with young children who probably don't have the time to look at Yelp. I wouldn't be afraid to try this place if your looking for a place to eat. Oh...and the free wifi is a bonus! read more

Took forever to get us seated, short staffed (which we understand) but then saw one employee going outside to take a smoke break even tho we weren't even seated. Lady only came back to our table one time for so. She seemed nice but struggling to keep up bc other staff had decided a smoke break was a good idea during a rush. read more

Service was a little slow but they made up for it with a friendly staff. Although the area was a bit dirty, I won't hold it against them because they were vigorously cleaning. I could have done without the cleaning of blinds directly behind me, it's not only bothersome but the dirt and dust can spread onto my plate and into my food. Overall I gave them 4 out of 5 stars. I'll be back. read more

This place was an absolute dump, even for a Perkins restaurant. I had a late lunch here with my brother and girlfriend as she's from out of state and had never been to a Perkins before. What an introduction! Our server was rude. She'd stop listening to us as soon as we read to her what was on the menu so asking for things like sweetener or a new bottle of ketchup was apparently too much of a bother for her to smile about. The food took forever to get to us and considering we were one of only about a dozen other tables occupied, I can't see how that can be caused by anything but laziness. The food we did end up getting was meh and when I mentioned that we hadn't ordered one of the dishes the way it was delivered to us, she rolled her eyes. Needless to say, I left no tip and have no intention of returning. read more

I've eaten at many Perkins restaurants over the years (who hasn't?), including this one. Overall, they do a good job of offering comfort food and providing decent service. However, our experience yesterday changed my entire perception of this chain. In spite of the restaurant being fairly empty, it took about 30 minutes to deliver our food after we ordered, with no contact from our waitress after the first 5-10 minutes. With it being a holiday and possibly unexpectedly understaffed, we could overlook the slow service, though it would have been easier to if the waitress had shown up to explain or apologize. But that wasn't all: I ordered the My Chick-adilla from their "fit" menu, only to have it come in a puddle of grease, including the spinach being drenched in it. I picked out the grilled chicken pieces (also drenched), but couldn't handle any more of it. To make things worse, all of the glasses were covered with residue/scum on the inside. I at first thought that it was scratches on the plp0adtic, but when I rubbed my napkin on it, most of it came off. To her credit, manager did offer to write off $6.00 of the $9.00 cost. Also, my husband's burger was good and daughter's breakfast was ok. However, it is my last trip to this restaurant. read more

Every time I'm in this restaurant there's a problem and management has no idea what to do about it. Waited an hour and 15 minutes for cold food and wasn't even taken off our check. The management or MOD had no idea how to fix any problem that was happening. Go some place else before it's too late read more

We sat down at 11:25 right away by the hostess and didn't have anyone come ask us for drinks until we asked the server in our area TWICE. By the time we got our drinks, it was 11:50. She then wanted to walk away without taking our food order until we stopped her to place our order. We got our food at 12:25; an hour after we were seated. Three of the four adult meals were cold and had clearly been sitting some in the kitchen area for some time. Rather than asking for the meals to be remade, we ate them rather than waiting another hour for a meal. What a horrible experience. We will never be back. read more

My husband and I went Saturday, February 29, 2020 for dinner at about 7pm. The gentleman greeting was very nice. First thing I do is visit the restroom. It was just ok. The waitress and busboy were very unkept. Both of them had filthy aprons on and not very appealing to order from our waitress. So I we ordered our meal. The waiting time was fair. As we were eating the busy boy had the whole floor to vacuum with his portable broom. But he decided to vacuum in front of and under our table while we were eating. The food was ok, but we asked for a to go container. At that point we were grossed out by the his filthy apron and his vacuuming under our table. He was greasy and very dirty. Asked our waitress for bill and left. May never return again due to filthy busy boy and waitress. read more

My waitress had an attitude problem, my hash browns were cold, and my French toast was undercooked. My friends toast was cold & she didn't get a straw & there wasn't even a fork in her napkin. read more

It's a Perkins. Tired, overpriced, bland, greasy food. I used to love Perkins back in the day when you could buy half-sized app-sampler. The prices seem to go up and the food quality? Well. I'll just say, yuk. Lol read more

Older place.Takes credit cards. Coffee is still the bitter kind. Waiter Teri is a good one. 10 people were here at 9;30 at night

Me and a friend stopped for a delicious dinner at Perkins. I've always loved Perkins since I was a kid but this time really changed my perspective. We ordered a sample of 3 appetizers. One of the appetizers was drenched in so oil so bad all you could taste was the oil making the fried pickles very soggy and unpleasant to eat. Next we got our meals. My friend found a black hair in her second bite of pasta. They offered to remake her food and also offered her a slice of pie while she was waiting. As I was putting my food in my to-go box, I had found a black hair underneath my fries as well. When we brought it up to the manager, it was almost like she didn't believe that the both of us had found hair on our plates of food. She offered to remake my food too. By that time, we had been there for over an hour and we were just fed up. We found it rude how their only accommodation they wanted to make was to remake our food. That or she said she could take our food and take the meals off our bill. Not okay. We had barely eaten any of our entrees in the first place because we were full from the apps. We ended up just leaving and not taking our food nor paying. Will not be returning read more

Tables were soaked, rock music was blasting from the kitchen. Our server seemed very distracted and barely acknowledged us. Won't come again. read more

Only two people in the restaurant, took 10 min to place food order, which was not given to the kitchen for another 10 min. We were clearly a terrible inconvenience to the server, whom apparently does not have any bills to pay because she does not want a tip. Stingy portions, terrible service, worth the two mile drive to another Perkins. read more

they took forever. we got the booth right next to the kitchen and i could hear yelling and f bombs and all kinds of swearing. never coming back read more

Seated immediately, took ten minutes for a server to come to our table. We ordered water, coffee and our food, fifteen minutes went by and our server did not bring our drinks until I flagged her down and asked for them. Another forty five minutes later we witnessed other tables leaving because they had not received there order yet. At this point I flagged our server down again and asked about our order, she stated ours was "up next". We waited another ten minutes and I again asked our server about the status of our food and expressed concern because we had a event to be at shortly. She then went into the kitchen and returned with one plate and said the others would be up soon. Upon inspection of the order there was a long curly dark hair on top of the eggs. We got up and complained to the manager which she replied that there was nothing they could do about it. We left immediately read more

Met some work colleagues here this morning. Needs a remodel or at least a good cleaning. Maybe some new carpeting. Food was just ok. Service was slow but I'm going to guess the server was giving us time for meeting. read more

Poor service even when not busy. 4 of us went there at dinner time and there were only about 10 people in the whole place. My wife and her friend ordered the shrimp dinner, waited for 30 minutes before the waitress came back and stated that they were out of shrimp!!! Also were out of baked potatoes and had to substitute! REALLY, on a Friday night? Took forever for someone to even take our money, truly disappointed. read more
