I used to be a Sunday regular, but haven’t been to Perkins in a little over year because I moved back to South Philly. My two sons and I were craving it so we decided to head over. We were immediately greeted with smiles and hugs from Kim, the General Manager, Charles (Ya), and our favorite server, Sam. We chatted like we never missed a beat. We even had the pleasure of catching up with Brandon, the Regional Manager. The food, as always, was absolutely delicious. I had the BYO breakfast, my eggs were perfect; my oldest son had the ham and cheddar cheese omelette and my youngest had the Rainbow Pancakes. I’d like to add that my youngest son has albinism. With that, he has photophobia. They want out of their way to make sure we were sat in our favorite part of the restaurant, but also made sure that glare form the sun didn’t effect him. If you want a great personable experience, good food and a clean place to have it, this is your spot. I always stand by this place and will recommend it to any local! You may even get the chance build some great relationships with the staff, who all have worked with this establishment for years. PS: Don’t forget to ask about their rewards programs, they have a coupon for almost anyday!!
