    Wide variety of food. I like the salmon, broccoli, and bacon green beans. Slightly cheaper I like the chicken melt. Also widely known for their breakfast and dessert items. The peanut butter pie is great. (Free pie mondays😀) I do hope they treat their employees right, I see mixed signs on that, but generally I good place to eat.

    The Food was Absolutely AMAZING! Wish we lived closer this would be a weekly visit! Our hostess was in such a good mood she boosted the mood of everyone in our party. The service.... okay the service.... not even exaggerating... almost moved me to tears! Keyaria (spelling I'm sure is butchered all to hell) took our crazy off the wall orders for 6 people including 2 picky a** children. She remembered each person's order to a tee with no mistakes.. no note pad needed! She made a personal connection with my very shy and socially conscious 5 year old son. She didn't miss a beat and even through the stinking mask you could she her genuine smile! Oh and as we were checking out the hostess asked how are meal was when we responded with amazing she hooked us up with a gracious discount!

    It (The Big Country) was OK but should substitute the Tator Tots for hash browns and don't use so much white gravy... Halfway through and it was a white creamy breakfast mess... But I would definitely return in the future and give it a try again!

    We went on a Sunday morning and they were very busy. It took a while to get our food. The service was not great, but also not horrible. Food was good and reasonably priced.

    It was an extremely nice visit. I got the Tremendous Twelve with 4 pancakes, 3 eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon. I only had to wait for about 10 minutes and was able to get to my seat with my mom.

    Perkins in Eastgate shopping center has an excellent staff. The waiter Tee was very sweet and cheerful. We ordered the fried fish night and every piece was delicious. I enjoyed eating there and the environment was family friendly. 🙂 We will be back !!!

    Wow. This team had it going on. Everyone working together. Restaurant was on point. Everyone in clean uniform. Servers were very friendly to customers and each other. This is so rare these days. I say all this to say service was great. Food was hot and quick. This has to be the best Perkins I have been to. They are the OG of breakfast places. Good job guys!

    One of my favorite breakfast places to eat at on the weekend. They are packed so get there early or late. I also love the all you can eat catfish on Friday and Saturday.

  • 5/5 Authoress R. 6 months ago on Google
    all you can eat catfish sold it for me!! the fish was crispy and hot every time and Kayvion was very nice, respectful and kept our food and drinks on point even tho he was working as a cashier that day he personally made sure we received top tier service and for that reason when I visit Memphis again I'll come back to this location to dine! oh and the cinnamon roll French toast is addictive and delicious 😋

    From out of town. Best place i chosen here.

  • 5/5 Janet G. 2 years ago on Google
    Strawberries are in season and they took total advantage of the situation. I had a strawberry Belgian waffle that was topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Our waitress was awesome wish I could remember her name. Perkins has always been a goto brunch spot. Delicious food.

  • 5/5 Sheila S. 2 years ago on Google
    I went with my Aunt, we were both pleased with the service from the moment we hit the door. The food was good, hot and more than enough I love the pancake, sausage links and hashbrowns. There was not a long wait, waiter was very nice, checked on us a lot. It was a very pleasant experience. I look forward to going back.

  • 5/5 Jay J. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was quick and right on time, and the food was savory. I had a delicious "everything" omlet with some breakfast potatoes on the side, not expecting a side of french toast as well! This is a wonderful spot to eat breakfast at. It's also not too crowded either!

  • 3/5 Audrey A. 3 years ago on Google
    My Niece and Sister insisted that I eat some breakfast b4 I departed town. The water was good and cold. Eggs? Potatoes? Pancakes good but I needed meat to eat with the and my smoke sausage was ??? Also.

  • 5/5 Mari G. 1 year ago on Google
    Waiting to be seated was less than 30 minutes. The host greeted us explained the wait . Clean friendly atmosphere, just love our waiter, he was so polite and a very outstanding memory to have our orders out on time and remembering who ordered what and how they wanted it. He was absolutely 💯 👌 😍. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled fresh. I will be recommending this restaurant to others.

  • 5/5 Natalie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and nice, food was nice and fresh, the waitress Connie was amazing!!! We were seated immediately after arriving and was taken care of as soon as we sit down. We were there for about an hour and ten minutes, wait time was not long at all. I will definitely be back again.

  • 1/5 Trensetta100 1 year ago on Google
    Waited for our waitress to bring us water or something to drink over ten minutes. She walk passes us consistently with a attitude when I got her attention. Once we got her attention she walked away an continued to take her time taking our order Saturday early a.m an consistently walked over us an took other orders. Sad part is you never know who customers may be and each and everyone should be treated with courteous. We walked out not sure about this location again and it's convenient for us.....

    Became my favorite restaurant. Ate here almost every Saturday for breakfast and never had any complaints. With my small appetite, breakfast lasted me all day too. Love the blueberry muffins, just wish the little sugary flakes weren’t on top- gets a little overwhelming sometimes.

  • 5/5 Susannah A. 1 year ago on Google
    During the week, breakfasts are fairly quiet, and the portion sizes are nice. During the weekend, they're pretty hectic and portion sizes seem much smaller. The staff, however, are always fabulous! Smiling faces, very helpful, just.... Perfect

  • 4/5 Evan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Perkin's is a nice place for a casual breakfast or brunch with a sweet side. I recommend enjoying the restaurant with your family during the weekend or yourself on your day off.

  • 5/5 Carlos A. 6 months ago on Google
    My date asked me where I wanted to go for dessert and I immediately said Perkins. Without a question, my Perkins is my go to place for a delicious dessert and some coffee. Our server was very nice and listened well. She was warmly attentive and professional. I had my favorite, the Chocolate French Silk pie and my date had the Caramel Apple pie. We sat and conversed while eating our wonderful pies. The desserts truly made the date more romantic.

  • 5/5 Angelina D. 6 months ago on Google
    Loved the friendly atmosphere shout out to our server Desire. She was professional, proactive, helpful and kind. She should get a raise ☺️ everyone here was great. Merry Christmas y’all

  • 5/5 Raushanah M. 7 months ago on Google
    I came here early one weekday with my son as a treat for good behavior. We got sat promptly by a nice man and Marcus was an excellent server. He helped me pick out my dish and everything came out promptly! I love a good neighborhood spot that never fails. I will be back.

  • 1/5 Christian L. 6 months ago on Google
    There were roaches everywhere and on our plates. The Manager had the audacity to stay they been trying to keeping down & it was getting cold outside , so they needed somewhere to go. He still expected me too pay!! No Thank you!!!! I'm a Restaurant owner myself and that absolutely uncalled for. 🤢🤮🤢🤮 My daughter and her friend were throwing up leaving 😢

  • 3/5 Tracy M. 1 year ago on Google
    They are always pleasant when I visit. I ordered the French Toast Platter . The French Toast wasn't so great, the bread was soggy. The eggs wasn't so great either. I didn't have to wait long for my ordered, but I didn't enjoy my breakfast. Signed frustrated with the French Toast.

    Food is excellent. The customer service is outstanding. We're visiting from out of town and ate here two days in a row with a large party each day. There were other options to eat at, but we returned here because of the amazing service and food.

  • 5/5 Jazmin B. 3 years ago on Google
    It was so appetizing. The staff was very welcoming and sociable. Mood here reminds me of San Diego's scene.

  • 2/5 Leon B. 3 years ago on Google
    Really like the food, staff are good. But the place is starting to show its age and a little dirty inside.

  • 5/5 Jeremiah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a sister come into town and asked me to take her here again. Prices are appropriate. Reminds me of a place in New York I liked to visit.

  • 5/5 Linda J. 3 years ago on Google
    Service good. Food wonderful. Demetriu was great.

  • 4/5 Ellis C. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food. I wish they would bake in house rolls and Clean their carpets. I visited here 3 days ago and it was awful. Bad service. Really bad turkey and the dressing was like thick concrete, bad corn. Told manager and was ignored. Going downhill?

  • 5/5 susiemae f. 3 years ago on Google
    Loved it. The service was excellent, the food was delicious. It was the perfect place to be on a beautiful Sunday morning enjoying brunch with friends. You must try their potato Pancakes. Yum yum yummy.

  • 2/5 Gordon C. 3 years ago on Google
    Server took order .Never wrote anything down. Server never came back after delivering food. Never got water refills.I got pot roast which was good.The server needs to find a new career or job path.Whatever happened to customer service.

  • 5/5 Brown S. 3 years ago on Google
    This was my first time here. My waiter was very sweet he even told me how to make a sweet potato pie since they don't make it. The atmosphere was nice and the food was good. I just wish they had sweet potato pies.

    Quick service

  • 3/5 Lester J. 3 years ago on Google
    Its nice to kno that no matter where u at, wat part of the country, the weather or time of day that perkins staff would be very nice, friendly and cute (which doesn't matter im jus sayin) and the food would once again disappoint......i will admit tho it was better than it was in south bend but only marginally, ive noticed tho that in Memphis is its not a counter serve restaurant where u walk in, place yo order then wait for them to bring it to you, you already messed up and its probably gon get worse from there, admittedly the place was pretty full so somebody buyin this stuff......lol

  • 5/5 Kimberly W. 3 years ago on Google
    Cooked to perfection!!! But our waitress seemed as though she didn't want to be there.

  • 5/5 E. M. 3 years ago on Google
    Everytime we come to Memphis, we have eat at Perkins. The employees have a positive attitude and really work hard to ensure the customers are well taken care of. The food is usually cooked exactly as ordered (I prefer my eggs scrambled light and hash brown potatoes not hard). Employees keep up the good work and management treat your good employees right.
