I started years ago when the location of the restaurant was a bit southeast of today's restaurant location . What a Great family soul food restaurant . I salute the Perkins family and ancestors for years of service to our community !!!

It only took me over 5 years, but I did finally make it to Mr. Perkins. The place was smaller than…read moreI expected it to be, the ambiance was different than I expected it to be, but the food was exactly what I expected it to be. The restaurant has a vintage, divey diner look and feel to it. There is plenty of counter seating and a few booths scattered around the other half of the floor space. On my visit, I'd say the place was less than half full, with a few diners at the counter and several booths taken. I expected more diners since it was just before Noon. However, the carry-out traffic was constant from when I arrived to when I left. The carry-out orders must have been what delayed my food from coming out sooner than I expected. I asked the woman for a recommendation since it was my first visit. She suggested the fried chicken dinner with greens and yams as the most popular items. I took her suggestion but substituted the yams for mac-n-cheese. The chicken dinner comes with two sides and corn bread for $10.95. It was a feast! I saw an order of homemade biscuits get served to another diner and had to order some for myself, too. The greens and mac-n-cheese were good but not great. The mac-n-cheese had a slightly grainy texture and wasn't creamy at all. The flavor was decent for both. The corn bread arrived in the form of small pancakes as I seem to find in soul food restaurants in MIlwaukee (this was my third). They were also good, but nothing special. I don't think they were meant to be, anyway. If you want butter or jelly for your corn bread or biscuits, you might have to ask for it. I did, but but I think she expected me to just borrow some from the guy sitting next to me. So I did. The biscuits arrived as an order of 2 and they were sliced with butter already in them. That could be why my request for butter wasn't tended to. They were light and fluffy and not dense, among the best I've had anywhere. The star of my meal was the fried chicken, as it should be. The chicken skin was very crispy and well-seasoned. The meat itself was moist and hot. This was served very fresh. In fact, the chicken breast came out separately, a few minutes after the other pieces. I'm guessing there are capacity issues. This was the best fried chicken I've had in Milwaukee! Overall, I think I waited 40 minute for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. I would definitely go back again and recommend that others visit Mr. Perkins. I felt like an outsider because everyone there seemed to be a regular with one exception (other than me). A salesman wearing a white shirt and tie was sitting to my right and was in town from Texas. I asked him how he knew about Mr. Perkins. He said he just went on the internet to find a place to eat nearby and it popped up. He liked the name. He ordered the pork chops and loved every bite. I informed him he was dining in a locally famous establishment with a long history in Milwaukee, which made him even happier about his choice. It took me over 5 years to get here. He made it on his first day in town. He shared some of his BBQ tips with me and another diner sitting to his right. I felt like I was in a scene from a movie. Different people with different backgrounds converge on a place to grab a bite to eat and end up exchanging BBQ tips and business cards. One guy gave me his card for projects on my house that he can help with. You won't just find good food at Mr. Perkins. You'll find good people, too.

My first experience there was a few weeks ago, and the food and service was amazing! We placed our order and waited for our items. I went to the restroom, and it needed attention badly!! The floor was dirty and no toilet paper in the stall. I moved to the larger stall, and there was a small roll placed on the top of the compartment; there was nothing in the holders of both stalls! I mentioned my observation to one of the workers and he shared that with another worker. She said "there is toilet paper, and it's in the largest stall!" I paused for a moment, and thought my response would've been a bit different. "Thank you so much for bringing that to our attention and we will take care of it right away." Wanting to enjoy our food at home, my husband had selected the greens but he said that they were incredibly salty! Checking mine, they were unpalatable. His spaghetti was so-so, and he mentioned it had a strange aftertaste. Would love to support this establishment again, but we will hold off on making another visit any time soon. Disappointed!

I recently tried Plate Pleasures for the first time yesterday evening and the food was phenomenal…read more I ordered the catfish, yams, macaroni, and greens for takeout after work, and every single dish was flavorful and seasoned perfectly. I didn't get any pictures because I ate it right away, it was that good. My family member picked up the order for me, and while the food was excellent, they mentioned the cashier wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which was disappointing. Everyone has off days, but great customer service makes a big difference, especially when the food is this good. This was still one of the best soul food meals I've had in Milwaukee, and I'll definitely be back to give it another try. Once I'm able to visit in person, hopefully I can recover a different type of service that matches how amazing the food is. Overall the food was a 4.5/5 and the service was a 2/5.

The…read morerestaurant is in a huge strip mall that's looks sketchy in a stand alone building with a cellular phone store. The have a bulletproof drive through revolving door which speaks volumes of the area. The guy in the drive through seemed friendly. I ordered the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, dressing and peach cobbler. The food was no joke because it was a big portion of heavy comfort food. Nothing was seasoned well and I come to expect this . The whole meal was covered in brown gravy and came with a corn bread cake. The mashed potatoes were like smooth/whipper but had a different flavor that I'm not used to. The dressing is a traditional corn bread style with I think had turkey breast in it. The meatloaf was two slices and very dense like it had very little fillers. The preach cobbler was like a scoop of peach pie jammed in a container, not too sweet and very dense/thick. I didn't eat half of the meal and one spoon of the peach cobbler and 5 hours later I'm still full. I was confused with the small cranberry sauce container but the dressing was like turkey dinner in a lump. I know the area will keep people away but it's never stopped me from exploring a new restaurant and why my Yelp nickname is the neighborhood traveler, there is so much good food in neighborhoods everywhere.

The doors were locked and there was a cone blocking the drive-thru even though the business is advertised as being open until 5:00pm. My son had to get out of the vehicle to move the cone. Upon approaching the window the woman just stared at me. She didn't greet me or ask if she could help me. I gave her my order number and she told me the price. I paid for the order and she told me it would be another five minutes. They make you pull around to the parking lot and give you a buzzer. She was very unpleasant and said, "walk to the window when the buzzer go off ". Currently there are four other cars parked and waiting. This place is unprofessional and the staff act as if you're irritating or bothering them by patronizing their business. On top of that my mother was calling and I could hear the phone ringing and they intentionally did not answer. A woman brought my food out eventually and she did not smile, did not apologize for the delay, and did not seem to care. She wanted to see my receipt gave my food and then just stared at me. After a few seconds she said "buzzer "...and I completely forgot i had their buzzer because the thing never buzzed. She just randomly brought out food and had to guess which car it belonged to. The entire experience was terrible and the food was not that great! The price for two dinners totaled $48. That was the last time i will be patronizing this restaurant and I will not recommend this place to anyone either.

It tastes like honey and corn and it's just so moist and delicious. I ate three of them bc I accidentally ordered an extra. My favorite of the sides was the greens and Mac and cheese. I didn't really favor the chicken meat itself because it was a little oily but the chicken frying batter itself was realllyyyyyy good. I just wish maybe it was less oily on the inside. The yams were also good, I just was not the biggest fan of the spices combo used. Either way this is a good soul food meal if you're really craving the taste.

My family was flying back home on a Friday night and I had to pick them up from the airport in Milwaukee, so I needed dinner somewhere nearby. Final Approach has an all you can eat beer battered cod special on Friday nights, so that was my choice. I went with potato pancakes for the side. Both the potato pancakes and beer battered cod were fine. I've had better versions of both elsewhere. For an all you can eat option, though, it was more than adequate, especially by the airport as it would be busy enough without the AYCE option. Likely I'll try somewhere else if I find myself in the area on Friday night again.

Wow pretty good food! Outside place looks dumpy. I actually was a bit worried about eating here but…read moreif it was going to be so bad why so many cars in the parking lot? Well, because it's not! Inside the place was hopping with a nice crowd of people. Still was able to get in and seated immediately. Place decorated for 4th of July and wasn't gaudy but fun. Lots of wood and you can sit at the bar if you want. Nice selection on the menu but since it was Friday we ordered the fish. Hubs had the fried cod and I had the baked. Portions totally filled your plate and were very good. Fried cod came with lots of fries which Hubs said were tasty and the baked cod came out served with rice and vegetables. Cole Slaw wasn't good but that seemed the only real issue. For some reason they served a slice of marbled rye with the fried fish but I don't think that's necessary. Prices for fish were really good and I think if you had gone to a higher end restaurant you would have paid around $10 more for the same dish. Overall a good experience and I'd come back again if we're in the area.

I ordered one of the combos and added mussels on the side which I highly recommend. Got the mixed sauce with no heat because spicy food is not my thing, and it was still super flavorful. The snow crab was the standout for me, so good so juicy! Shrimp is a classic must, potatoes and corn were yummy, and the mussels were 10/10. Also, the corn bread was A+++!! If you can't do spicy or just don't like heat, don't let that stop you from coming here because you can still have a great meal. Price point is also really reasonable especially if you're sharing. The setup for taking food to go is easy and convenient, and there's a hand washing station in the middle of the restaurant which is practical. Only heads up is parking can be tricky on weekends so just plan for that. Workers were super friendly. Would definitely come back.
