5 May 2011 Well my parents go to this Perkins Restaurant weekly, so I figured it was a good place to go to celebrate Mothers Day. Besides Perkins offers a FREE Meal to all mothers with another meal and two drinks purchased. I saw the low reviews, and unfortunately, I have to agree with the low ratings. My wife and I went to this Perkins a few months ago for a FREE meal with Dignity Memorial as the host. I got the salmon and it was dry. I said I would never pay $11 for this meal again..So this time, I got the 7oz Steak. In fact, my father, my wife and I all did. Two of the steaks should have been returned (overcooked) my dad ate his, he didnt want to complain, cause he knows the Manager. My wife ordered her steak Med Rare...It was extemely WELL DONE..not even close...it was a very thin Steak and I can see it would have been hard to get it right. Mine came as requested. However, the slow service, the uninspiring meals being served just reinforces to my wife and I, this Perkins doesnt deserve my business. I would have saved money going elsewhere even thought I had two meals FREE it still cost me $82.00 for the 6 of us..I am sorry, but I can invest that amount in many other places that have better food, service and more atmosphere. Perkins...get someone who knows how to do it right, our keep losing business..I know their desserts are good, and many laud their breakfast, but the lunch and dinner menu..needs work or a new staff in the kitchen...

The family and I stopped by to eat breakfast. We arrived there and signed in for a table for 4. We asked how long it would be to be seated because there were 4 familys ahead of us and was told 10 Minutes. We waited, during that time my wife went to use the restroom and said it was very dirty. When we were about to be seated, a family of 4 walk in and got seated immediately then we were called next. Sounds like preferential treatment!!!! We requested a booster seat and a high chair for our kids. Our daughter sat in the booster seat and we were going to put our son in the high chair but, noticed that the seat was not cleaned out. There was food still in the seat of the high chair. We decided to leave at that point before the waitress even came. When we took our daughter out of the booster seat I notice that her yellow NEW dress had been stained with something. With this experience who knows if they even clean the kitchen?

Their breakfast food is very good and I absolutely love their muffins! The only thing that is keeping me from giving this restaurant chain 4 stars is their cleaning solution! No kidding, if you walk in right after theyve cleaned some floors or large sections of their floors or, even worst, if youre eating and they start cleaning,, its all I can do to stop a gag. I can taste the cleaning solution in my mouth. I doubt seriously Ill ever use pine oil in my house again!. Oh, and recently I discovered a fruit berry pie made w/out any sweetener whatsoever! I honestly didnt think Id like the pie, but oh was I wrong!

Perkins used to be very good and this location used to have great ratings. Today I started off with a coffee mug that still had lipstick on it from the former user. The hush browns had so much grease on it that I could not eat them. The 2 bacon strips looked like 1 strip cut in have to make it look like 2 and the pancakes are about half the size they used to be . I used to love coming here for breakfast, now its just disappointing. I guess I will stop giving this place another chance, at some point you just have to give up. When did it become acceptable to serve mediocre food and still charge the same price?

The food is normal- but its the service that warrants a 1 star review. It started with a wait of 15 minutes after seating before our waitress came by for a drink order and ended with us waiting 20 minutes for the check after asking twice. The second time I asked for the check, the waitress held a hand up to silence me and tell me that she was busy. And now Im too busy to come back.

We haven been going here for 3 years until recently allways had great service and food. Not sure if managment changed or ownership changed but the last 4 times we had been here the food has been subpar and the bathrooms are worse than the worst gas station, smells like urine and is never clean. Think today is our last time coming here.

It took 10 minutes for a hostess to greet us, - only one other couple waiting for a table. Another 10 minutes to get our drinks, and another 15 minutes before we began to eat. My husbands meal was cold, my requested hash browns werent, and my over easy fried eggs had runny whites. The pancakes, however, were splendid.

Chathams continues to be a very special place to celebrate a special occasion or to take a very special someone/s for dinner. It has been a favorite of ours for years. It is tucked away a little off Dr Phillips Blvd and away from the crowded Restaurant Row with a tree shaded parking lot. The atmosphere is delightful.

Was hesitant to come here because of the lower rating. Was very pleasantly surprised. Our party got the bbq burger, build your own omelet, kids chef salad, Monterey shrimp pasta and shrimp and grits. We were all really happy with our food. I was nervous about the shrimp And grits, but Im so glad I tried it!

Family favorite, Jessica is an awesome server, she is always attentive and knows her stuff. Even when busy she may be rushing around but does not rush you. Eton is the most caring manager I have seen, he not only cares about the customer experience but you can tell he cares about his employees as well.

Perkins is like a clean Dennys. Their breakfast is really good and dinner isnt that bad. Theres not a ton of options other than grease food so we havent found ourselves here much as of late. Also, after 2pm you get a free kids meal for every adult entree.

Good prices and good food. Bakery items are nice. Bacon dippers are not i.e. better if coated in past batter and deep fried. Those are uneventful but everything else good. Omlettes etc... service nice servers on the ball... Nice place

Extremely friendly service. I ordered the BLT with fries and it was scrumptious. Once I dug into the A LA MODE HOMESTYLE APPLE PIE I Thought I was in heaven. I recommend the restaurant morning through night. Camille

Eat here, at least once a month and always enjoy my visit. Ill usual wonder in right after open and the wait and kitchen staff are always expedient. Prices are a bit high on some things, but nothing outrageous.
