Perkins Bakery - Alexandria

A lot of good options at good prices. Restaurant was dated and needed to be cleaned.

Food was way over priced for breakfast for 2 with senior menu was $32.00. Not even that tasty

Food was very slow for not being busy. Half full restaurant and took 43 minutes for food, we went for a fast lunch option and failed.

As a high-schooler who works a lot of nights, I often don’t get the benefit of a nice home-cooked meal. This place has helped deliver a nice warm meal on some of the coldest nights. While even more unfortunately, sometimes I am not off until 11pm, and my only options are Arby’s and Taco Bell. Who even goes to those restaurants? But I never really took the time to think about one glorious restaurant in particular. Perkins. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this place. I think this place even helped me get a girlfriend. But, I should share with this specific restaurant does greatly. Firstly, they have a Coke Freestyle Machine, which I think might be the greatest thing to ever exist, and there’s always such a wide variety of drink options to choose from. Secondly, the food is so delectable. While a lot of questionable food choices exist on this menu, they have a lot of absolutely amazing offerings, especially the Perky Bear Pancakes. Lastly, and probably the best part about this place…The night shift staff. While a lot of praise certainly exists for the daytime crew, no one is giving enough praise and credit towards the brave nighttime soldiers of Perkins. The nighttime servers are probably some of the greatest employees of this fine establishment. I have come in on some of the busiest nights with loads of people in the dining area, and these saviors still serve me with a smile on their face. It is so refreshing to see non-robotic individuals in the service industry. Amy and Shay slay this Perkins (plus whoever the nighttime cook is he makes good food). I LOVE PERKINS

The food was very good even for the wait. The service was pretty high quality too. They seem a little rushed so of course the service was a little frustrated but they were holding there own.
