Food poisoning

Perkins Restaurant and Bakery - Food poisoning

I purchased a breakfast strawberry pancake combo from Perkins on Hamilton Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Approximately 20 minutes after consumption the onset of diarrhea occurred.

I am just now getting better since yesterday evening when I ate the pancakes with Strawberries and strawberry syrup on top.

The waiter Robert told me they did not have any Strawberries toppings bug he would look throughout the store.

He returned to my table stating he found some.

He showed me it in a little small bowl and put it on my pancakes after.

After eating I left; about 20 minutes later the onset of diarrhea occurred.

I have been sick since yesterday evening.

I would like to have a full refund of my purchase.

Also a porkchop dinner two coconut cream pies to go.

Both slices are missing the crust at the top.

My total bill was $36.71 including over charge of a $5 tip.

I would like to have a full refund regarding this. matter.

I am a frequent guest at Perkins and have never had such experience.

Thank you,

Ms. Drummonds Nanot

I went to Perkins today 8/17/2023 1 thing I need to mention is it's very odd that a customers needs to ask for mayonnaise on there BLT It's very dry without. Another thing I noticed today after paying and should of been told ahead of time was a odd charge there charging a packaging fee. This was at Monicello mn Perkins. I am done going 2 Perkins. They can take that packaging fee and stick it were the sun don't shine for real!!!

I placed my order online. I clicked the pancakes to be included in my order three time, and when I got home I saw that I did not receive them. I also did not receive utensils, jelly for my toast and salt/pepper.

False advertising

Your commercials show that you use fresh blueberries on your pancakes when theyre actually canned blueberries? That means you probably use them in your pies as well. My guess is that you also use canned apples, peaches , strawberries & cherries in your other recipes. I wont be taking my family out for breakfast or buying any of your bakery again,Dan shame!

Have been trying for 2 weeks to sign up for Perkins club to get 20% off

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Spoke to 2 people and the following happened on first call:

1- I had to repeat myself 4 times explaining in signing up to be a Perkins member & when asked for my email & password, 1st it would not take my password & then changed it to new one, same thing! Asked to speak to a Spvr., and was told someone would call back in 20-30 mins NEVER HAPPENED!

2- Second call 2 hrs.later, same thing happened except this worker asked for a case number when I said I have been trying for 2 weeks.

She also said that on their website one has to put in a User Name and Password

NOT Email and Password!!!

THAT IS PLAIN B-SHIT. There is nothing like this on the Perkins website

Bottom line, when I again asked to speak to a supervisor, I was again was told that Someone (*#!?) would call back in 24 to 48 hours

In both calls, I stated that we go to Perkins at least 3 to 5 times a week and that I guess that they DO NOT CARE if we ever come back!

Thank You

Staff belittled and possibly discriminated against.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Our family goes to Perkins in Leesburg, Florida at least once a week and holidays for years.

We always request our regular server, Gaby. She has worked there for 8 years and we were shocked to hear she has requested a transfer to another restaurant because of the managers treatment.

She recently became a server certified trainer and the manager made reference to the new employee that she could have trouble understanding her because of her accent. The new employee then refused to be trained by her.

Mind you that when we go, many patrons ask specifically to be seated at her station.

We never had issues with the server or food, only with the attitude and length of time paying for our meal. Many times there is no one there and patrons stay in line without acknowledging us.

If we go again and she has left as a result of this, we will never go back there as we would feel personally attacked.

These actions, if allowed by corporate, are discriminatory, not acceptable and could be construed as racist.

View full review

Preferred solution: Diversity training for management staff and an apology for the server.

User's recommendation: If good servers and other staff leave, go elsewhere where your patronage is appreciated.

Perkins giftcard

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I am trying to order online with a perkins e-gift card, however it only consists of one 16-digit code, I have no idea where to redeem it as is does not have a security code or anything else that goes on the payment information when trying to add your card information. I've looked up everything possible and nothing on any of your websites state how to USE the card when online but you do state that it CAN be used online. I am extremely confused on what to do and how to use it.

Perkins Restaurant and Bakery - They were rude and nasty
Me and my daughter went to eat at Perkins on 86th and Hickman in des moines iowa and the service was horrible there. There restaurant was nasty as *** with bugs and hair. And the food wasn't hot or made right and when I told my server she had an attitude so I told the manager and she got an attitude so we left the restaurant and she chased us down to cuss us out and we didn't even do anything wrong.

Now you're pushing it

I would like To speak to a customer Representative. Apparently, when calling customer service? Personal are too cowardly to answer a call! Somebody should get a backbone and deal with the problems of Perkins restaurants. I realize why the reduction of your restaurants in main stream are because of failing service food and restaurant appeal. Does anybody have the courage to address a customer who is trying to help you?

Bad experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Went for lunch with my handicapped and mobility impaired brother and was taken past many empty tables to be seated in the back of the restaurant I made a comment to the host and they said they had to spread out customer based on staff which I understood. Food was fine then I paid with my debit card and when getting in my car an employee came running out to my car saying I didnt pay that my card didnt go through I said I did pay and yes it went through she kept insisting that hadnt paid .

I went into the restaurant and showed them on my phone that had the transaction on my bank account and told them I wasnt paying again. I was then told again that the charge didnt go through and I didnt pay.

I have been to this restaurant many times and have never have had any issue. I have never been treated with such disrespect and will probably never go to a Perkins restaurant agsin.

If you paid then they would have returned your card with the receipt to your table. Did they? Did you sign the receipt and leave a tip?

Post the transaction that went through on your account.

It took forever to receive the food and when we did get our food all of it was cold and had a hair in it. And what was crazy was there were only 3 other people besides us,it shouldn't have taken so long for our food. The waitress was nice,the manager was very rude. It's so sad cause Perkins used to be so good now everything that has to do with Perkins is horrible. And the one I went to is the worst. It's really not worth the money. I'm so disappointed

Menu change

Menu change. We are not happy with the recent menu change.

Eliminating several very popular items in the Fort Myers location such as meatloaf, pasta, and potato pancakes to name a few. Whats popular in one area may not be in another, doing a survey might be to your advantage and help your bottom line. Because you may lose loyal customers because of these changes. We are loyal customers going to Perkins two and three times a week.

Please consider bringing these items back. I would hate to have to go to Bob Evans instead of Perkins.

Several of our friends feel the same way. Sincerely Pamela Zernzach

The loyal customers (like you) are 70+ years old and are on the way out. Like way out to the happy hunting grounds.

These places have to plan for the future and not someone from a legacy demographic who thinks they're still relevant and want things to go on as they always have.

You really aren't adding to any bottom line. At best, you're break even for a business.

Guest

" I would hate to have to go to Bob Evans " Oh No!!! A low-value loser and is threatening to go to Bob Evans..

Absolutely NO ONE CARES if you never return. All you and your "friends" do is take up space, make it hard to turn tables, and banter about until it's time to go home and watch Fox or Adam-12 reruns.

This isn't 1970 when the mere threat of taking your "business" elsewhere was enough to make a company move heaven and earth. Go on over to Bob Evans Opa Tschuss

My daughters water had a piece of plastic in it. Upon further investigation, it was a packet for an anti aging powder stuck to the inside of her glass. We fished it out and told the manager and the only thing we got was an Im sorry and a new water.
