Our waitress Lori was amazing the other waitress I think her name is Christine was horrible. We sat in this other waitress area because she's always given us great service but the other waitress was upset and kept giving us and the waitress dirty looks. Would of been all 5 starts if it weren't for the awkward waitress

A group of 17 of my friends from an aqua aerobics class met for lunch here. Tina was our server. She was extremely efficient, accurate and was always friendly, presenting herself with a smile on her face. Definitely the most wonderful server I’ve had ever.

The food was excellent and the service was fairly good but the restaurant was freezing! We felt they could have turned the a.c. down a bit. They probably should have had more than 2 servers but the ladies working were running the food out quickly.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchair accessible.

We enjoy this Perkins every now, and then. Attended Monday for my mom’s birthday and their friends; another friend Helen, had her birthday too. The staff here are awesome, especially like to point out Tina. Tina has been there a long time and she is a wonderful, awesome server. She has a good time and she enjoys being around the people. She always takes care of us and always checks to be sure everything is great and we are happy. She made the day very special as well as other employees there to bring them a piece of cake for their birthday, even with a candle!!
There was also a different manager there filling in and she was super sweet too, and checked up on us. We always have wonderful service at this location.
