Reviews for Perkins Restaurant & Bakery in South Bend, IN
We stopped for lunch. The neighborhood is not the best and the restaurant looked run down. I was shocked there were quite a few... people having lunch. I had the cheeseburger lunch special and my wife had the shrimp special. Everything was very good and wehad excellent service from Desiree. The lunch competition is steep in that immediate area. Don't pass Perkins by just because ofits looks. Read more
Perkins was horrible. Went for dinner the restaurant was not really busy. Seemed fully staffed. Took an hour to get our food.... Saw our waitress sitting down playing on her phone by the door. When we got our food it took the waitress 15 minutes to get ussilverware. Went to eat my fish dinner but something seemed off so I touched the fish and it was cool to the touch so I stuck myfinger inside of the fish and was still ice cold almost felt like was still frozen. I do not recommend. Read more
So to start, we say for almost ten minutes before anyone even came to get our order. I understand places are short staffed, as I... own a bar, but at least come over and let me know you see us there and someone will be over as soon as they can. Then, we giveour drink and food order so they don't have to come back twice to get our orders, then we never see her again for reillsnothing. My dish I ordered comes with onions, the pot roast stroganoff, which I love and get every time I am near a Perkins, butthis place served it horribly. I have never tasted anything so bad. Onions where an after thought, cold and just thrown in thedish, it was dry and zero flavor. I had to hunt someone down to order a piece of pie, which was amazing, but as you can see bythe picture that's how it came out. The waitress just lightly tossed it on table with no explanation as to why my piece lookslike that. For all I knew, it fell on the floor and they just scrapped it up, who knows. After really inspecting it, I decidedto try it. I will never stop at this one again. Oh and beat part, as I'm paying the manager asks me how everything was I saidnot good at all. She never says another word to me at all. Doesn't why etc. I will still go to any other Perkins as I have neverhad such an awful experience. Read more

Very disappointed from my most recent visit. It started on a Saturday night with a hold on the phone for a carry out order for... 10mins. No one throughout that time picked up the phone to let me know it was busy and they hadn?t forgotten about me. I nevergot ahold of anyone after I was put on hold so I hung up and ordered online. I got to the restaurant and a very nice young girlhelp me also buy some muffins. I grabbed my food and took it home. When I got home, I found that my soup was very small andcontainer was slightly bent up. I also noticed my pie was completely melted. The potatoes had gravy and we ordered them without.I called to let them know that my $5 soup was very small and my pie was melted. They said the soup was the right size and theycould not refund the pie because I bought it through their online ordering site! I only ordered online because of the 10 minhold. They said I would replace it but that I had to come all the way back to the store. Here?s the worst part and the biggestreason I took the time to write my review. My poor sick boyfriend went to close up the soup I got him to help him feel betterand the container EXPLODED. Soup was everywhere. Not only was it expensive for not a lot of soup but they didn?t even put it ina good container! Well, I guess at least there wasn?t as much soup to clean up. Anyway the only reason it?s not a 1 star is themuffins were awesome and the young girl was nice. The older lady was unhelpful and unempathetic. Read more
This place is TERRIBLE! Horrible service, horrible food and definitely over priced. My daughter's burger had old cheese , fries... so hard you could knock someone out, toast super hard, my chicken sandwich, 0 flavor, pancakes were terrible. Manager andwaitress both was very impersonal, STAY AWAY from here Read more
We always stop at Perkins restaurants on our road trips from Maryland to the Twin Cities. The 55-plus menu is great with very... good food at very reasonable prices. Our experience at the Perkins in South Bend was great. Our waiter was friendly and did awonderful job in serving us making sure everything was in order and kept our glasses filled. Read more
Went for Thanksgiving dinner and was very impressed! Great portions and great tasting dinner with good variety. My father even... said it was the best Thanksgiving dinner he's had. Wonderful service would definitely recommend especially during holiday season Read more
