Perkins Restaurant & Bakery - Winnipeg

The service at this restaurant was excellent, as were the side dishes. However, the main courses were terrible. The meats seemed to be of poor quality, with the beef tasting like gummy worms and the chicken fillet smelling off.

Since they are still fairly new, I am hopeful that they are still learning and growing.

Excellent staff and a great Senior Menu makes this an ideal stop for excellent food and outstanding friendly service. The price of the senior menu is downsized, but not the portion. Great deal.

I'm not sure what happened to Perkins as a chain. I remember going there as a kid and thinking the food was really good. Thought that it was time to go back.I was so excited because pirogies were on the menu. So, we ordered pirogies, salad and soup (tomato-based). The pierogies were pretty industrial and the salad (chef) pretty basic. What is also sort of weird is the bathroom is shared with a bar. There is a lot of construction around this Perkins so its not obvious to access.On the plus side, the servers were pleasant.

We were a group of 28 people, with about a dozen of them being children. We had our own room which was perfect. Our waitress, I think her name was Emma, was excellent. She was organized, she took the orders, and then offered to bring the children's food first. When she bro't their food, with a bit of help from mothers, she got the meals to the right children, even tho some of them had moved to a different table. The food was good, I heard no complaints from anyone. Our waitress was back numerous times & checked if we needed more of anything. She had the bill organized so that we could pay separately or together, whatever we preferred. All in all it was a good experience, and I have nothing but praise for this restaurant and for Emma. (I just hope that is her name)
