Friday night was terrible. I had just picked my blind mother and her guide dog from Amtrak and got us all checked in at our hotel when my mom said she was very hungry. We both had never been to Champaign/Urbana so we were unsure of where to go. Like always I checked yelp. I found Perkins and we thought it sounded wonderful. We arrived at about 7:40pm. The hostess looked like she was getting ready to leave for the night, but seated us anyway. Things looked very promising. Our waiter came to the table and he seemed really nice. When it came time to order, he wrote nothing down. After he walked to the back, he came back out to the front and started playing on the claw machine for children. Another worker finally informed him he had food ready, which I thought it would be my mother's soup and salad. It turned out to be nothing apparently because he walked right back out with no food. I saw him go to 2 other tables checking up on them and bringing them out small items they requested. But there was absolutely no service for us. 25 minutes after we placed our order our drinks were empty and our salads and soup hadn't arrived. We ended up leaving the restaurant around 8:25 after not receiving any food. I informed what looked like a manager how long we were waiting and that we just decided to leave.
What a disappointment.
