Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

Great food, wonderful service.

Food was seriously so gross. Didn’t get sauce with appetizer or the soup i ordered. At one point the group of employees hanging by the pie case were all staring at us. Super awkward. Pot roast is inedible. Potatoes advertised as real but taste like potato flakes. It was just honestly nasty.

The food was so good! It wasn't very busy when we got there and we got our food very quickly.

Jackie was an amazing waitress. Sweet girl dud a great job. Great good. We will be back.

Stepping into Perkins is like discovering a hidden culinary treasure right here in Independence. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with an inviting ambiance – warm lighting, tasteful decor, and the subtle hum of happy diners. It's the kind of place that instantly feels both elegant and comfortable, perfect for a special occasion or just a really good meal out.
The menu at Perkins is a delightful exploration of contemporary American cuisine with some intriguing global influences. I started with the a classic Cheese Burger and let me tell you, these weren't your grandma's overcooked onions. They were perfectly caramelized, tender on the inside, and tossed with a sweet and savory glaze that had me wanting to lick the plate clean. For my main course, I opted for the golden brown french fries. These fries were a beautiful golden crust with a tender, almost buttery interior. Every element on the plate was thoughtfully prepared and contributed to a harmonious and incredibly satisfying dish.
We capped off the meal with their Chocolate Lava Cake, which was exactly what a lava cake should be: warm, gooey, and intensely chocolatey.
Beyond the impeccable food, the service at Perkins truly stands out. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making our dining experience exceptional. The pacing of the meal was spot-on, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed.
Perkins has truly set a new standard for dining in Independence. It's clear that the chef and team are passionate about creating memorable dishes, and it shows in every bite. If you're looking for an outstanding meal in a beautiful setting with top-notch service, do yourself a favor and make a reservation here. You won't be disappointed!

Why the 4? Because they charge for extra salad dressing and salsa for your omelet. There's an uncharge for everything extra.
It's hard not giving this restaurant a 5 because it's one of my favorites, but the upcharging got to go!
