I finally made my first visit to a Perkins and I was very pleasantly surprised.
While I normally like to opt for local restaurants. Perkins is the opposite, being a well established diner chain, like unto IHOP or Denny's.
I would say the biggest departures from Perkin's counterparts were, tables that were not sticky, good service, and the ability to make substitutions without upcharges.
This place is a solid, perfectly adequate, 3 star joint. I would totally come back.
