Hi there, My name is Dave and my family and I dine at this Perkins every Sunday after our worship service at the First Baptist Estero, This is a wonderful church, down home and is hosted by very friendly loving people. Very family oriented with a large teenage population and has a very extensive elder population. Good mix. Anywhoo on with the review of my favorite Perkins. I have to start by stating the staff has been one of the friendliest and tenured I have seen in a very long time. It is a very good sign when you can go to an establishment where they have a full staff that is happy and have very low turn over resulting in a very talented staff that display hospitality skills at an award winning pace like the crew at the Estero Perkins. It seems that the only turnovers they have there; are apples for Petes Sake ! Oh me. So on with the show... The BLT. One of many tremendous values and first in class when it comes to bacon. Very tasty and thick and like all their menu items, the produce is very fresh and I suspect it is locally grown. It seems like it was just picked 38 minutes prior to me ordering!! If you are mad hungry and you only want to eat once a day; The Grannys Omelet will do you all day. A very beneficial deal in favor of the customer. Fantastic? Yes. They also offer a very generous menu on the back page. It features $6 - $7 & $8 dollar meals ranging from breakfast to lunch to dinner. I have found that the Sunrise Burger meal for 8 bucks was extremely copious for the price. The full-size burger is topped with an egg. If someone at my table is ordering a breakfast meal and I am ordering the Sunrise Burger meal, I always ask them how are they ordering their egg. Then I ask for the egg on my burger to be cooked the same way. When I get my order I give them the egg off my burger making the bargain even more in the customers favor. This is another great example of a customer first, Perkins repast that will put your belt through a stress test. Due to the YUGE!! portions at this Perkins I could only manage to evaluate a dessert once. A spoon size specimen of mouth watering coconut cream pie! Oh the Perkins pie is the most Daddy-O. Before I forget, I want to say that I always order ice water wherever I dine. As such, I always request a "few" lemons on the side. Every Sunday our Perkins Estero waiter or waitress will always furnish me with an entire cup of sliced lemons It is safe to say a half of lemon. Great place to frequent. If someone ever asks you if you want to go to Perkins in Estero you better make the scene because now you got the skinney on how to eat like a thrifty fatty. Thank you for taking the time to study my review.... Your friend Dave

Nothing special. My spouse and I found ourselves here one fateful day for dinner as we were traveling in the area and were in search of a hearty plate. The staff was friendly and seated us quickly and our server did a good job. Our family is from the south and we likes sweet tea, my spouse is a server at Sonnys BBQ so we know how sweat tea is suppose to taste. Lets just say we traded our order of sweet tea for a soda. It wasnt good. Besides that, I enjoyed a grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for one dollar extra and I forget what my spouse ate but we both shared and enjoyed our plates to the end. The bill was like $30 bucks plus a tip to the server ( always tip your servers) Nothing I would repeat again, the place wasnt bad just mediocre. Enjoy!

If you ever get the opportunity make sure you take advantage of the amazing treats in the display case. The treats all look so amazing and tasty until you see all the roaches running amok throughout the whole display case. Look towards the edges and all you see is moving antennas as they are feeling their way from the delicious cream pies to the mammoth muffins. When I first saw it and reported it to an employee they said they would get a pest service out pronto, went back a week later and they were still serving roach dropping covers cookies. To say the least we havnt been back. Spend the time and go to a different location or restaurant in general.

The staff was very friendly, but an older bald manager named Jeff was relentlessly "dressing down" the staff, in the dining room and shouting at them in the kitchen. Its alarming he either thought that patrons enjoying breakfast couldnt hear him or he didnt care. He spent the morning I was there pacing back and forth looking for his next target. I have never understood the bully management style, but I can assure you it makes the dining experience very unpleasant.

My wife and I always order Saturday breakfast to go. The staff is always welcoming and helpful, even when the restaurant was packed the manager is always there to help. When we are in the restaurant for dinner we are always served quickly and efficiently. We absolutely love the hospitality and quality of the food and restaurant. The food is always top quality and served warm to us even when it is ordered to-go, we highly recommend this restaurant.

My friend recommended that we eat here bc they supposedly had good food. The food was mediocre and definitely not worth the horrible service we received. Our server blatantly expressed how annoyed she was with either us or her job in general. She rolled her eyes when we asked questions about the menu, never refilled our drinks, never brought extra napkins, brought the bill before we were even able to order desert, and did not smile at all.

I had been to the Perkins on 41 in Ft. Myers and had such an awful experience, which wasnt my first at that location, that I had given up on ever going back. I decided to give this one a try and wow..what a difference! Great service, food and staff. So glad that it isnt all Perkins that are slow and horrible! Im a fan again and will be returning to this one!

We ordered a burger and could not figure out if it was real beef or some kind of mystery meat. Plus it was way to greasy. Also ordered a tuna melt but couldnt find the tuna amongst the mayo, onion, relish and bread. Greek salad has horrible, cheap feta and no tomatoes. The only good items were pancakes, hash browns and coffee.

Very good service. Restaurant was busy and service never showed it. Food was delivered quickly and hot. They were out of the item I wanted and the server recommended a substitute. And said if I didnt like it she would get me something else. I ended up loving the item more than I probably would have my original choice.

The food could be very good but it isnt consistent. Once it is very good the next it isnt. They always seem to be understaffed. the wait time is pretty long most of the time. This restaurant needs updated. Ceilings are dirty along with the carpet. It has gone down hill in the last few years. What a shame
