    So we had lunch today over at Perko's really good food definitely worth the price and weight this sweet potato fries were definitely a must

    Had brunch today at Perko's we always enjoy coming here. Service is good. The timeframe is reasonable. They were a little bit busy today. Service was really nice. The environment was very friendly and welcoming. If you're not in a rush and you got time definitely stop by order some food the French dip with some sweet potato fries and those sweet potato fries are a must food is definitely good good reasonably pricing in today's economy and definitely will be coming back again thank you to every staff members. I did leave a $17 tip on a $50 bill. Hopefully the staff ever gets it.

    While waiting for my car to get serviced, I walked to this location. Very clean place with AWESOME service. I got the chicken fried steak breakfast from their fabulous 50's menu and it was large and outstanding. Have eaten at many Perkos over the years and I've never been disappointed. They remind me of good, old fashioned diners from my youth. Highly recommend!

    We've loved this little diner for many years and have no complaints. My husband's favorite is Sarah's Old Fashioned Ham, a full pound of bone-in ham. He ordered this today with a side of pancakes and had lots of leftovers to go. I had the Patty Melt and fries and also came home with leftovers. Expect a homey, cozy diner and nothing fancy--cute signs on their walls, friendly servers, and excellent comfort food here.

    The food was really good for a diner. Our waitress was nice polite but not overly friendly. The price is about average 12-15 a plate. The signs in the restaurant are so cute!

    Whatever you do, don't get the waffles! Hot and crispy on the top, cold and soggy on the bottom. The service was good though.

    I decided to stop here for lunch before driving back to Sacramento. I'm so glad I did! This place…read morewas great! the food was fresh, the place was clean, the staff was friendly. I was really impressed of the portion size they give you. Usually, I'm able to eat the entire poke bowl, but it was definitely a challenge here. I will come back next time I'm in town!

    DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION- YOU WILL GET SICK! If I could…read moregive this place 0, I would. The reviews definitely don't reflect the actual service and food at this location. Starting off, my best friend and I were in Modesto for Barnes and Noble to get some books for my son. This location being right next to the bookstore was convenient so we went inside. The young girl who served us looked disgusted the moment my best friend said she'd never eaten there and wasn't sure how to order. She looked at her like she was stupid and just said what do you want and was not helpful whatsoever. She got the small poke bowl and I got a small donburi bowl. After what took over 5 minutes for her getting our two bowls from us, she walked away after I paid and I had to ask another worker for a lid to my bowl. Whatever, service sucked, maybe she was having a bad day? We sat down to eat (still hadn't gotten the chicken tempura and gyoza I had ordered for my son). Before my son's food even was ready I had bitten into a very bad piece of shrimp tempura that tasted as if the inside of the batter was covered in mold. I immediately spit it back out into a napkin and just sat there about to throw up. I sat there thinking this is probably just a mistake and maybe I imagined it. Then my son showed me his chicken that he said he didn't want to eat. It was old, rubbery, did not resemble chicken at all, and had black stuff around the chicken under the batter. I went to the worker who was at the counter and told her what we had received. She didn't seem surprised at all, but more surprised I wanted a refund for the two items that were spoiled. No manager onsite, apparently they usually aren't there. She called the manager who did not answer the phone but proceeded to text the worker. Asking exactly what happened several times and then proceeded to say the black on the chicken is seasoning before it's fried, which is not true because the come pre battered and it was just old. I had accepted no refund on the chicken for the ridiculous excuse, but I wanted a refund on the donburi bowl at the very least. The manager asked her to open my napkin and send a pic of the shrimp!!!! THAT IS SO NASTY! That young girl does not get paid enough to be doing all of that. That is revolting! I ended up opening it for her so she didn't have to so she could and a pic. Then the manager stopped responding to her by text. That's fine, Manager, that's fine. You should've just given me a refund for your nasty ass food that was not edible. Now you'll be receiving a visit from the county health department as they were called the moment I left your restaurant because of the food being kept at room temperature, your dirty facility, and the spoiled food you're serving to paying customer. This idiot sent me into my Karen era and I do not even care. Don't mess with people's food. Good luck.

    I have lived in the area my entire life, and although this café has been established for quite some…read moretime, I had never visited until today. While I typically avoid paying premium prices for coffee, I decided to treat myself and finally give this location a try. Upon entering, I was greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and placed an order for three iced coffees, which I stated clearly. When my order was delivered, two of the drinks were iced, while one was served hot. I calmly and politely mentioned that all three were supposed to be iced coffees. At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.

My party was seated fairly quickly. Our waitress took all our orders by memory - we were a party of 8! I got the Chicken Marsala: Chicken, sauce, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I started off with the mixed veggies - they were cooked soft, just how I like them. They were also flavorful! Not just regular ole steamed frozen veggies, they definitely were buttered and seasoned or something. Next, the mashed potatoes. I'm not a mashed potato connoisseur - matter of fact, I usually skip eating mashed potatoes when they're available. These mashed potatoes however were so flavorful! And it was not only the gravy doing all the talking, it was both the mash and the gravy. I was impressed! Lastly, the chicken Marsala. The chicken itself was cooked to perfection, moist on the inside & fully cooked - and with chicken breast, we all know how hard that is to accomplish. The sauce was incredible. I have never had any Marsala sauce as good as that. So much flavor, very savory. Altogether, the flavors worked together and worked perfectly. If only I wasn't an hour away, I would come here more often. I hope to be here again someday!

Unless there's another room I didn't notice, this place is not as big as expected from the outside (or I'm just horrible with space and dimensions). That said, I can see it getting crowded during regular lunch and dinner times. We went when it opened and it was quite filled up with folks by the time we left.
