I told them I was excepting another guest. The table we (my grandson and I) were sat at was small. I told the waitress I needed a bigger table. So she moved me to another waitresses section, because there was plenty of room at bigger tables. The new waitress saw me sitting there and became angry. She didnt say it right to me but I could hear all the things she was saying, I was able to order me grandson food but I waited for my guest. When he got their she got his drink then igornored us so when I told her we were ready to order she said OK then went on break. So we had to stop someone else to get our order. That person forgot about us. No one checked to see if we needed refills wanted desert....nothing not even when we wanted our bill. So I go up to the front and asked the manager for our bill, and told him how we were ignored. As compensation he removed the kids meal. And said "sorry-bout-that". After I paid my bill the waitress who went on break came back and looked mad the we were still there. I usually tips pretty decently, that time not at all! I will not go back there, there are to many restaurants up and down university to have to deal with bad, rude, desrespectful service.

My S.O and I went for pie because it was pie day. The pie was like normal pie you get from anywhere. The caramel apple pie was delicious and the berry pie was average. Why Im giving it five stars I dont remember the servers name but he was outstanding. He was great to talk to. Had quick service. Waters were refilled when needed. And to top it all off he gave us free ice cream with our pie because as he said "you can not thoroughly enjoy pie day if you do not have ice cream with your pie." Anytime I get free ice cream with something just because the server says it will make it better is a 5 star rating in my book! Now as this will not always happen I just wanted to give my personal story at this Perkins. I dont know how the food is or other servers but for me that experience was golden.

Poor management and inattentive employees. Not even a welcome or hello when the hostess finally acknowledges you after 10 minutes (with NO LINE). Never once got refills, part of our meals were cold and the other part was stuck to the plate, like when you microwave something. 30 minutes after eating and still no waitress, had to go to the kitchen doors to get someone to bring us our check. No sorry we forgot about you, no thank you please come again....just a curt "here you go" with a b!tchface and she walked back into the kitchen area. Had to go back and get her AGAIN just to run my card. And this was just early afternoon! Not sure what the party was in the back room, but I would not recommend this location to anyone.

This place was horrifyingly bad. Me and my friends went to get some food after going to a show and 3 out of 4 of us endured explosive puking shortly after leaving. One friend did not even make it to the car before he started throwing up. We all had meals with meat or eggs (some both), so there clearly must be an issue with undercooking the food. There were also incredibly creepy customers who hit on one of my friends excessively, and another who followed my boyfriend into the bathroom because apparently he didnt like how my boyfriend looked at him!!!! Overall it was an absolutely HORRIBLE experience and I highly recommend that you dont give this place any of your business.

Racist food place, I was breastfeeding and they sent a black woman to ask me if I had a blanket because the restaurant was complaining my waiter was white lady.. but they sent black to talk to black.. they dont follow the law 145.905 LOCATION FOR BREAST-FEEDING. A mother may breast-feed in any location, public or private, where the mother and child are otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother’s breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breast-feeding. History: 1998 617.23 INDECENT EXPOSURE; PENALTIES. … Subd. 4.Breast-feeding. It is not a violation of this section for a woman to breast-feed. Dont go to this Perkins

Very slow service and the manager, Sharon , is very rude. We walked out because we waited a long time already. We will never go to that place again. The manager should be nicer because of the long wait and she should learn how to smile at least ...apparently the manager thought a party of 10, which purchased $150 in food, meant the kitchen could stop making food for an hour afterwards. We were caught in that hour and eventually left after waiting over an hour. The place wasnt even half full, only about 25%. We should have left when we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated, to find most of the tables were empty when we did get seated.

Went with my dad. Waitress was nice but a little slow. (not busy at all) I hate slow service when the a restaurant is empty and you can see more wait staff then customers. My food was cold sent it back. Cook remade the eggs and microwaved the rest.So my little chicken baking powder biscuits were hard on the bottom and cold in the middle.My dad is 81 and does not eat very fast but he was finished before my food even returned.I was going to order some holiday pies but this perkins wont be getting any more of my money.

Youll time travel back to 1983 when you walk into their doors. The restaurant needs a renovation and a really good deep cleaning. The waitresses were arguing with each other as I walked into the restaurant. Our waitress that took my order, was mumbling indistinct words and did not smile or had the motivation to work there. My food took about 40 minutes to come out and it was lukewarm when I got it out. I wouldnt return back to this Perkins location anytime soon.

I love Perkins but this location is terrible. The first time I went to this Perkins they brought our food to the wrong table -- where it sat for some period of time before they noticed then brought it to us informing us what happened but still served us the cold food. The second time I went to this Perkins I had to wait forever to get my food and then it was overcooked, tasted terrible, and the staff was rude.

Never saw my waitress after my food was delivered she took my order from halfway across the Room Yes halfway across the Room she yelled what can I get for you rather than fight it I just yelled back what I wanted there were only 2 customers in the whole restaurant and there were 2 waitresses I cant believe how poor the service was she was too busy smoking and texting to worry about her only customer

I was at Perkins and in the area where the muffins, cookies, cinnamon rolls was at it was flies flying on the bake goods. Even after we pointed it out that it was fly on the muffin and we want our muffins from the back the still didnt throw out the bake goods the manager sent the employee to wipe out the area but the goods was placed back in. This happened at midway Perkins in St. Paul MN.
