    I had not been to a Perkins in over 27 years. I went because I had a discount code of $25, so it was a good excuse to come back. The restaurant is old and looks old. You can see it needs remodeling, besides that, it is a nice restaurant and the staff was very nice. I placed an online order. As I arrived a young woman greeted me. I let her know I was there for pickup and gave her my name. She let me know it would be a minute. I told her it was no problem; I got there a few minutes early. I went to the restroom and when I came out my order was ready. As I opened the bag, delicious smells came out and our food looked great. My Steak and Peppers Skillet was tasty, but a little salty for my liking. On the other hand, my husband's steak was perfect and the mashed potatoes were out of this world, wow! Greatest mashed potatoes we've had in decades. My husband said that even the broccoli was stupendous. Thank you Perkins for the discount code for my dinner and for having such wonderful and delicious food.

    My wife and I started our day with her doctor appointment then breakfast at Perkins on University Blvd. Our server,Mercedes, was excellent. Our breakfast was also excellent and filling. My wife had Build A Breakfast and I had the Classic Eggs Benedict. Again, I do not understand the low score but our breakfast experience was a solid 5. This was the start of our anniversary celebration. This place was close to my wife's doctor and a distance from our home but we will return.

    Half the granny omelette with substitute asparagus instead of potatoes

    Back to Perkins again! I love it here. Today I split the granny omelette with my mother and substituted the potatoes for asparagus. It also comes with pancakes! Great value for all that at $13.99. The servers here are always wonderful and it doesn't take that many visits to get on a first name basis with them. I usually stick to a morning visit as during the later hours there are less staff and it takes a lot longer to get your food when it's busy. Perkins has that family style appeal as well as for students who just need a quiet table to study and drink a lot of coffee.

    This was my first time eating at Perkins. I'm not normally a diner type of person but I wanted to try their bacon fest and new fall menu, so we gave it a try. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, and was very helpful when we experienced some issues. I ordered the steak (medium) and eggs (well done) with a side of the pumpkin pancakes and the breakfast potatoes. Unfortunately - what I received was a well done steak and very runny eggs, and the wrong side was brought (hash browns). I explained the situation to the server and she politely apologized and offered to bring me something else. I asked for a side of breakfast sausages and scrambled eggs. Unfortunately, when it came out, the sausage was half cold (like they didn't cook it all the way through) so I boxed those up and ate them at home. I will say though - the pumpkin and maple bacon pancakes were delicious. If I were to ever return or recommend something off their menu, it would definitely be those!

    Hadn't visited a Perkins in probably over 10yrs-- and this visit didn't disappoint! Visited for breakfast Saturday morning. Our server Will was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. A bit greasy buttt maybe a bit tastier too because it was nostalgic lol. My only real complaint would be that the restaurant is old and a bit run down; and it smells like -- I really hate to say it -- a nursing home :/. Just old and musty. BUT food and service were really good so I'd definitely be back again lol!

    The food here was delicious and the service was great too! The ambiance is nice, very nostalgic for me since I grew up going to Perkins. I hadn't been in a while but I'd definitely go back after this experience! It's not the fanciest or most delicious breakfast, but it's definitely tasty

    I've come to Perkins so many times over the years and ever since I moved to Orlando, it is strange that I hadn't left a positive note in regards to their food and service. The last time I came, I had some tea and a blueberry muffin. The waitress asked me if I had ever had it grilled, I said no, and she said "If you don't like it, it's on me". I don't do well being challenged, so I took it head on. It's me and my conservative a$$ versus a heathen grilled muffin. Bring it on! What can I say? She got me. The waitress won. I've never split a muffin in half and put it on a skillet, but I will forever do this from now on. It is that good. I feel so dumb for not having thought of it before, I don't even warm my muffins! I ate my grilled muffin, which was really good and fresh by the way, and sipped on my Lipton tea like if I was Sir Thomas Lipton. If you are old enough, you remember the guy in the Lipton tea box, he was like the Colonel Sanders of tea. Service is friendly, the place is clean, sometimes it is busy, sometimes slow, but you always get good service. Other dishes I've had here have always been good.

    Yummy!

(Their sign on the door notes they are open per their hours, unless they sell out of everything sooner.) My dad ordered a coffee to go and I ordered a matcha latte without sweetener and almond milk, plus a honey and sea salt cragel to go. Service was quick. Matcha latte was good. I liked the cragel - it had a good texture and wasn't too sweet. My dad wasn't super fond of his coffee, but it was okay. (He said it wasn't the worst, but it wasn't the best coffee he's ever had.) If there isn't an event going on, they have their own parking lot. Otherwise, you are allowed to park in the school lot if school is not in session. (Or street parking if you can find some.)

Immediate warm welcome, which I always appreciate, especially when I'm in a post-meal haze. Then I saw the pastry case... and wow. It was one of those moments where you genuinely consider making poor financial and dietary decisions just to try everything. The croissants alone? Massive. I'm talking oversized, beautifully layered, stuffed with different fillings and topped like they're competing for a prize. A younger, more reckless version of me would've ordered at least three without hesitation. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that everything is so big. I wish they had mini versions--like a tasting lineup--because I wanted to try everything but also didn't want to commit to a full-size pastry I knew I couldn't finish. Shoutout to the people who can, though. I respect you. I kept it simple with a cappuccino plus an extra shot (non-negotiable at that point), and it was exactly what I needed. Bonus points for the service--they actually brought it out to the table, which felt like a small but appreciated touch. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can vibe however you're feeling. Overall, a perfect little stop to recharge and pretend you didn't just eat your body weight in carbs.
