On a fateful tuesday night during finals week, I came here hoping to pick up a quick bite. Went in, ordered a pasta with the only waitress (apart from the general manager), sat down everything went fine. Waited 35-45 minutes (what can I say, young ppl have more understanding & patience) to be asked by Moira, the gen mgr, if I was waiting and what for. She then told me theyve been out of pasta. Lol... nothings as salty as wasting a precious hour (to go get other food) of sleep during 4 back-to-back finals. Thankfully, at least Moira asked, otherwise I would have played the fool and continue to sit there. She was nice enough to even offer me anything else on the menu and some pie after I declined the first (then both). I left not just sleep deprived but also hungry.

Every time I leave Perkins, I tell myself I will never return there again. the service is usually ok, but the mediocre food is not worth the money. Since they dont have biscuits and gravy on the menu, I ordered the sausage country biscuit, which is basically a biscuit cut in half with sausage pieces and gravy on the bottom half of the biscuit. The food was lukewarm when it reached our table and the waitress never refilled our drinks. At one point a manager walked by a table recently vacated by a large group and very loudly complained about the mess they left behind. I ended up paying $26 for a meal hardly worth $10. Next time Im sticking with Merry Anns, but I really wish we had some better diners in town.

I had a lunch today because of the free pie given on Mondays. Starting with service, people seemed nice but my server seemed a bit overwhelmed. I asked for a refill on water and never got one. Now onto the food. I got the Big Country Smasher and Chocolate French Silk pie. It was decent. The smasher was pretty salty but that was expected given the description and the pie had a good filling but the whipped cream and pie crust fell short. I might go there again with friends just to try the different pies. Price range was on the higher end for college students.

Food was decent, not bad not overpriced. Our waitress Victoria obviously doesnt care about getting paid because we waited 30min for drinks, 50min to get the waters we asked for the 1st time, an hour for food, and in all the time we spent eating 30min+ she never checked on us once. Asked different waitress for what we needed. The other waitress thank god for her had like 5+ tables taking care of them very well, while victoria had 2 tables in our area and spent her time in the kitchen. All in all a bad experience. Wont return.

It was the worst service ever. The waitress was extremely rude, arrogant and impolite. Also, we were asked to pay extra money for using too many milk cups that were put on the table for coffee together with sauce bottles - Think about it. If you put too much tomato sauce on your food, they are going to stop you and threaten that they will charge you with extra money. We actually left the restaurant and did not eat anything. Will never go there again.

The silverware was filthy; upon asking for a new fork, the second was worse, if anything. Sat for forty-five minutes before getting our drinks. Half an hour later, we were told upon flagging down the waiter that the ice cream was frozen solid and the pie was out. Since dessert and drinks were all we had ordered, I thought it out of line to wait an hour and fifteen, then have to get the waiters attention to find out we werent getting our order.

The pies are worth coming here alone for, trust me, I had a friend order nothing but pie one time. The food is pretty decent, portions are comparable to other places, though Ill admit it can be a little more pricey than other places. The décor is kept pretty clean. The service can be hit or miss sometimes.

The food was astounding but the best part of the experience was that wolverine himself greeted us and handled the check out process. I immediately felt at ease knowing that they had the canadian super hero handling things. Cant wait to go again.

I am not easily impressed but this restaurant is gorgeous, quiet and clean. The staff are respectful. There is no wine. The menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its price is moderate. I love this restaurant. I would recommend it.

Went here to have dinner with my family and we had to wait 45min for our food. The taste is fine but if we have to wait so long then why would I go here. I dont usually give harsh reviews but this experience was just bad

Ive been here multiple times and tried a lot of their breakfast options and havent been disappointed so far. Not to mention that they open 24X7, which is very nice for college people.

Going in this place at night is a horrible idea unless you want some cold food and bad service. And deal with a manager who has the slightest clue of what she is doing

One of the few places open all 24 hours, close to campus. Service and prices are great! The menu is a little complicated, with little in terms of meat-free options.

Awful, I ate turkey sausage and I was at ER the day after. Dont eat food there. VERY VERY VERY VERY bad quality and you will get food poisoning.

Horrible! Our order was placed at 2:53 pm and closed out at 3:43 pm. That doesnt include the 20 minutes of waiting to be seated and served.

Kinda like a dennys but a little better. 3 dollars for a tall glass of milk was a bit pricy. Everything else seemed well priced.

Good for when you get hungry at 2 a.m. The chicken fingers & honey mustard are a favorite.
