I can only speak for my local Perkins but the food has been mediocre (and once gawd awful) and overpriced for many years now. The location is good so they always have business though. If a place is that bad for that long it’s not a management issue. There are obviously problems at the top.
The muffins were always good, but you could tell they wre in trouble when for the last two years, they’ve been offering an ongoing “deal” on muffins..”BUY 3..get 3 more FREE...that’s cheaper than Dunkin Donuts..
They are way over priced. I bought three milks and three plain waffles with nothing else added for my family and it was over $35 bucks. When they handed my the bill, I thought they were joking.
