Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

Good food, laidback atmosphere good prices. Good parking.

I've been here three times and each time I was not only waited on professionally by a friendly, attentive waiter/waitress, but the food has been phenomenal! I've been to other Perkins as well, which have been good, but this one is great. The food is always top notch and served in an attractive way. The restaurant is clean and spacious. My one and only (very small) suggestion is that they get a bell to ring when you're waiting to pay. There's not always someone waiting there when you're ready. Having said that it's a very minor inconvenience, and the rest of the restaurant more than makes up for that. It's great!!

I was here 12-11-17 around 2pm and Nichole was awesome. She gave us gluten free menus upon request (mainly for me) and I ended up getting the build your own omelette with diced ham and a side of hash browns and they were amazingly good and delicious 😋😇. Taran took us to our seat too btw before Nichole came to take our orders and so on so he did good too. I Will return whenever I'm feeling hungry. I live here in Cottage grove right up the hill from this place, so I'll be back unless I have a reason not to come back. Oh yeah, my dad got the spinach mushroom medley I think, with a side of fruit and that was delicious too he said. I'll return with him also, otherwise I'll come by when they do that 24 hour thing on Fridays or Saturdays.

We haven't been here in 10 years because the food was bad and the dishes were dirty. So after so long we decided to give it another try, big mistake. Abridged version: Walked in 1 hour before close and was immediately asked 'you know we close at 12 right?' Way to make someone feel welcome. The omelette tasted like it wasn't made with real eggs. The mushrooms tasted like they were re-hydrated. I'm pretty sure I was missing one of the cheeses I ordered. The hash browns weren't cooked long enough, and the pancakes I'm sure were microwaved from a box. If you want good food, head over Denny's in Oakdale. They never disappoint.

Worked across the street from Perkins when it was built. Recently went there and had turkey dinner. My questions still remains the same, why does restaurant food always have to arrive salted so heavily? We are all capable of adding needed salt, our preferred amount. I know some people will salt away before they even taste while looking out the window. Other problem, is there a policy of having to seat seniors next to folks with out of control children? I asked to be re-seated in an area instead of next to kids. That happened only to have 2 mothers seated next to me at my new booth with screaming babies and toddlers running around. Please look around to see your pattern of seating. We all had kids many years ago and don't need the "enjoyment of mothers who can't or won't control their wee ones." We love them at a distance now. Call me a cranky all man, but I eat out too!
