The Perkins here has never been known for being staffed with happy people. I found that they continue the tradition with my recent visit for lunch.
Now I was looking forward to seeing the new place as they really needed a refresher and a clean up. The new place helps but I'm not so sure I like the layout. It is small and boxy. I liked the old layout better. But the place is brighter which is nice.
The food was pretty good so no fault there. But the service was subpar. I felt like they could care less if I ate there or not. We joked around a little with our waitress and she barely cracked a smile. The manager came by and asked us if everything was ok and when we said it was she stated that she was glad to hear that in a sort of canned way while she was walking away. Once again giving us the impression that she could care less.
Now we saw our waitress at another point away from our table and think that she was stressed out over something. So whatever it was was showing up in her attentiveness to her customers. We still gave her a good tip because she looked like she needed it.
Bottom line is I won't be going back here for some time until the management and staff change over which I suspect it will in about 6 months. See you then.
2017 Hard to believe it has been 4 years since I have eaten here! See what happens when someone has a bad experience?
I returned to meet up with three friends. This time went quite well. The food good as reported by my friends and I have to say that my Cobb Salad was excellent. If you like salad they do this salad up nice and it is a very good size. No skimping here.
The staff was better in that they were pleasant but no one was there to greet us when we arrived and we had to wait a while. The place was not busy, only about three other tables had people at them.
The bakery section has been reduced quite a bit so it doesn't seem like Perkins is the bakery place it once was. I got two brownies to go and they were very good.
So they go up a notch but need to improve on their cheerfulness.
Overall very good service at our table.
