This place is a family institution for us! Our family has been enjoying our fellowship and dining here for decades, and we are just so absolutely blessed that when my Wife and I called this morning to set up a lunch gift for our family, Gina instantly recognized not only my parents, but my Uncle, my Grandparents, and might have even remembered me! What a wonderful place, and even more so, what wonderful people who have been a part of our family for years! This is THE place to visit when coming upcountry! read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast Love the chicken fried steak breakfast!!' And staff is sweet read more

Always lots of food, good service, but a pretty dirty bathroom. The crusty corrugated metal on the walls is really gross. We eat here often, it's a good value, I hope they can do some updating though. read more

Overall we had a very nice lunch on our way back to Folsom from Yosemite Valley. The place has an old diner feel with super friendly service. The flavors were about average and not much to write about. My pancakes were good to start with. My country fried steak tasted a bit on the greasy side. My son's French dip sandwich was average. read more

Very best server ever!!!! Doris takes the cake. She proved it when she could handle my picky order read more

This could quite possibly be one of the worst restaurants I have ever eaten in. Everything was covered in dust (see photo of the TV that hung directly over our table), there were cob webs on many of the lighting fixtures, there were so many flies we spent much of the time batting them away from our food. To top it off, the food was mediocre at best. I give two stars because the waitress was nice, but that's about it. Given our experience there and the lack of cleanliness and flies, I am stumped at the 5 star reviews. They obviously had a completely different experience. I won't be back. read more

The muffin was dry and I could tell it had been put in the microwave. The scrambled eggs were powdered and the hash browns were burnt. It just wasn't good. read more

Good food and always good service. I came last week with 2friends it was there 1st time and they enjoyed their meals very much. We had breakfast. read more

Generally speaking, my experience with Perkos has been good. I like the food and the staff is very friendly. That being said their menu is a little too small for my liking and I don't go here often because I've eaten the same things too many times. It's worth checking out though. read more

My wife and I thought the fish and chips was very good (crispy, hot, flaky fish and crispy bot not hard fries). The price was reasonable, only $14.49...though we do wish we had more than two medium to small pieces of fish. Not much of a beer selection (coors and blue moon). But the service was friendly and attentive, though not overly so and the place wasn't too loud. read more

Love the food but the atmosphere is very scary... I am a black woman with a Mexican fiancé and in there I felt stares the waitress both times seemed very rude... just moved here and this place made my thought of it being a racist town didn't help.... Hope they can understand not everyone is white. Don't think I'd go back to dine in but take out probably. 9/10 food taste delicious. read more

So. My good friend and I came to this establishment to give it a try. I was literally just loving the whole vibe we got from the beginning to the end! We were seated very quickly by our server, Angie. Angie was so nice and very attentive to our table! She literally made the whole experience amazing. Now to the food My friend was loving the fish and chips (especially the fries she loved) and I got the burger and it was so yummy, bonus points for all the condiments being on the side already in the plastic bottles they provided! My hash browns were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious! Overall, the experience was so nice! We loved the vibes we got from the second we stepped in! Give this place a try because you will not be disappointed! read more

Perko's Cafe - Fish and chips with fries - New American Near Me - Jackson, California

I went here for lunch, but it looks like a popular local breakfast spot where customers know the waitresses/servers by name. I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich and fries and was satisfied with the classic taste and fast service. The servers were super friendly, and I agree with a previous review - it's simple food done well with a hometown feel. read more

Second time coming here and both times were great! I've only had breakfast so far will definitely try lunch. Service is good from the younger staff read more

WW friendly meal. Side salad with grilled chicken breast. No cheese, no tortilla strips or croutons. 1 tsp balsamic dressing with red wine vinegar and a squeeze of lemon juice. Yummmmm this is 1 -WW point due to the dressing. My son ordered the big breakfast. His serving was huge and he was unable to finish. Great service. read more

There's definitely good and bad days here, but on a good day you just can't get much better for an American diner experience with a dash of nostalgia read more

Amazing service and amazing food. What else can you ask for? This isn't your typical cafe. Their breakfast menu is 10x's better than what you see at Denny's or IHOP and the quality speaks for itself. My party of 5 were completely satisfied with their meal and already planned to come back. The entire staff were attentive; constantly refilling coffee/drinks every 5 minutes and asking if we need anything. Sometimes I have to break an arm and a leg to get some service, but not here. Food came out promptly considering it was a holiday and it was a full house. Bathrooms were also clean; which is always a plus. P.S. ask if they have any specials and try their shakes; you won't regret it! I got the birthday cake shake and it was bomb diggity! read more

Really good diner. The food is very tasty and the restaurant is clean. The service is efficient and attentive. We will go back! read more

Terrible service upon seating down. We were told that we would need to move tables if a large group came in to eat. I replied; why would we move that was rude she left and then another waitress came and said the same thing to us that we would have to move if a large group came in. First of all we had a handicap person with us who could barely walk with walker. Second, we all were Latin and felt it was discrimination. The restaurant was empty on Sunday, June 4th and there was no reason why this would have been done to us. Very upsetting and I am reporting this to the corporate office as well. People like this should not be able to serve or treat us like this. The two women also said this was the policy!!! I would like this to be dealt with as no one should need to go though this. Never go there!!!!! There was three of us! We went to Mel's excellent service as always Maria, Becky & Berta read more

Needed 40 decent meals at a decent price in *to go* containers. Got a confirmation phone call the day before, which was really nice. The day of, the manager called to ask if I wanted to.pre pay so when I came to pick up the meals, I could just pull.up to the back door and load up. Gladly said yes! I arrived and the meals were boxed up securely and 3 employees loaded me up. No fuss, no muss! The recipients of the meals were very happy with what they received. Said the meal was.still very warm, and very tasty. Big hit! They were efficient, courteous a d served up a great meal. Thanks, Deanne and crew!​ read more

Fall of 98 was the last time I've been to a Perkos, and it was the one in Yuba City, I have always been compelled to try this location but tonight I needed a dose of nostalgia. I really needed a hot chocolate are used to always get one when I was a kid and the whip cream was always so good and to my surprise tonight it's like the item has never changed it was completely the same taste, flavor and it was very comforting , I then spent the next half an hour reminiscing and even though I was full I still ordered a poached egg on toast to see if the flavor taste the same and even though the bread is different everything else was classic. Call me old-fashioned but I love when you can go into a place 20+ years later and order something that you order in a completely different location and still experience the same flavor profile it's kind of magical and it brings back memories Of yesteryear . Food is Magic read more

We were looking for a breakfast place in the area on a Monday, which means not everything is open. We landed at Perkos and were sure glad we did. The food was delicious and generous. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the country potatoes were loaded with peppers and onions, the bread was, well, toast, and the sausages and bacon were done correctly. Good coffee too. Service was great. We'll be back. read more

Horrible service. Don't go here, EVER! Waitress asked for my order while I was finishing work on my phone and indicated she would come back. She did, and I wasn't quite ready. She said let me know when you're ready. I did. She acted quite put out and and complained that if I wasn't messing around on the phone......etc. She also complained about it all of a sudden getting busy. The place was empty. Just really rude behavior. I got up and left. read more

Walking in to this busy restaurant we were still met with a welcoming greeting. Even though it was busy, we were seated in a timely manner and our server was very polite and attentive. This place has one of the best bloody Mary's that we have ever experienced. The food is prepared with love and care and no detail is over looked. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted freshly made to order. The portions will fill you up for most of your day. We will remember the special taste of this restaurant and will definitely be back. This place is the crowning jewel of Jackson, CA and everyone should give it a try. read more

I love reading reviews on diners sometimes - folks go to an American diner and expect Gordon Ramsey to pop out of the back and cook a 3 Michelin Star meal for 11.99- this place is as advertised, good simple food, cooked well , for a very good price - I eat here fairly frequently and love the service , the wait staff , and the food and consider it one of the best values in this county - I may even be back tomorrow read more

Delicious food, quick service. Clean plates, forks, spoons. Customer service polite & courteous. (02/26/23)

My husband and I literally just walked out of Perkos. I asked to wait for the fresh pot of decaf to be done and got the worst attitude back from our server Angie. With eyes rolling and mumbling as she walked away from our table. When the fresh pot was done she took the cup that had old coffee in it and threw the coffee in the trash and filled it with the fresh brewed. I asked her for a clean cup and again with the attitude!! Needless to say it rubbed me wrong and we left. I will be calling management on her. Also, the chefs are not wearing masks which is gross. They were laughing and talking all over the food. Never will go there again read more

Have been here several times in as many years. Have never had issues. Seated quickly, drink orders taken immediately. It was about 3pm, had a good amount of people inside but wasn't noisy. Went to bathroom after ordering drinks, bathroom was clean and stocked. Drinks on table by the time I got back. Our orders were taken quickly after I got back. Food came out quickly. Big servings, and delicious as always left happy and full. The staff were quick, friendly, and attentive. read more

Walked in for a to go order. I was told to take a seat because they didn't have a hostess. I preferred to stand. The wait staff came back after dropping an order. I ordered my bowl of soup and a piece of pie. When I got my order it was short the bread. When I asked I was given a look that could kill. My bread was put into a container and shoved onto the counter with the other 2 containers the wait staff looked at me and said I guess you want a bag... very rude. I used to enjoy their soups but today's rude service isn't worth it. read more

Friendly service and nice, great food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just can't say enough about this place. Always recommend this restaurant for all. They treat consumers like they should. Thanks perko....!!! read more
