Time and again, Perkins has gotten into business with the wrong people, resulting in wonky business models and menus that have repelled too many potential customers.

The food at Perkins Leesburg, Florida has good food but the worst service. When I ate there, it always took at least an hour to even get the order taken. After that it was as long to get the food. Sad at such poor management. I quite trying to enjoy their food.

I was a GM for Perkins and can say after attending a national GM gathering in Minnesota, prior to the Huddle House acquisition, my question on "how do we get new customers" was avoided and left unanswered. Further, ideas were quickly dismissed and an "old guard" mentality ruled the roost. After being hammered with the GPH (Guest Per Hour) philosophy and shut down on any creative or innovative ideas that would generate new and/or renewed interest (profits) in the restaurants and the products they deliver, I departed the company. I swallowed my pride and took those ideas and created a thriving business in Florida. So, my time at Perkins was at least an experience that led to greener pastures.

The Perkins down the street from where I currently live was one of the stores the franchise wasn't paying their royalties for. It didn't close luckily, but they did remodel it. It didn't get closed because it was always busy, even at night.

Perkins reminds me of my midwestern childhood. Many family gatherings and outings with friends. During high school we would hang out at Walmart or when we had extra money- Perkins! Wish we had Perkins out here on the West Coast.

All the Perkins around my area have closed, when, my Mom and stepdad were first getting together and, their early yrs of marriage we used to make a. 40 minute trip to go over to the Florence Kentucky location area, to get a omelets, they used to have the best breakfast and omelets around! That is when, mom was still working in the restaurant business and, mom didn’t cook late at night, never, once she got off of work! I loved the omelets at Perkins, I about never ate anything else there!

I am always surprised how many times their side menus change. However, their regular menu seems pretty much unchanged. To me, that seems like a good approach. I have had other items from time to time, but yes, I always go there for breakfast regardless of the time of day. Property loss is not funny, at all, however the fires were probably set by customers who did not get their food served properly cooked, or on time. There is only one Perkins I like to frequent, but I think that is because of the server I always get.

I went to Perkins with my father today. OMG, the prices were asinine...even the 55+ menu was way over priced. A 3 stack of pancakes, I kid you not... $8.79, that's is just out right robbery. Of, course I chose not to get them. I've made pancakes at home many times... they cost pennies. I'm not surprised they are going under. I ordered a club soda (carbonated water)...$3.49....my father's tea.. he only had one cup...$3.49. I'll never go there again. There's an IHOP here. After 3 pm they have a 6-8 dollar menu. You can get a burger with fries or onion rings for $8.00... a 3 egg ham and cheese omelette with 3 pancakes $7.00. And anyways... the corn tasted like the butter in it was old..like been sitting in the cooler all night. The baked potato was obviously kept in the steamer or heat source too long. Yeah, I'm never going there again.

Many years ago when parkins restaurants were in Minneapolis minnesota. One was on river side Avenue of Eastside near the Mississippi River. I want their for Thanksgiving. The service people didn't pay any attention to me? I sat there for over an hour! I left never becoming back! It comply closed down several many years later! The service needs to appreciate the all people coming there! No this angered tribal native American! I wouldn't go there! Have a great fabulous wonderful day.

Ottawa Canada Perkins food has gone downhill. Went there on Father's Day 2024 and we thought it was closed but it was just empty. Food was a bit okay but not like it used to be. Last three times has been a disappointment so we aren't going back, but they did take off the greasy horrible hash browns off my bill. The syrup is not syrup...it's watered down corn syrup I'm guessing and has no taste. The butter is tasteless so not sure what they are using...the french toast was gross etc. Service wasn't good either for it being empty. Had to wait 10 mins for so called butter and by then the pancakes were cold so it didn't even spread properly. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
