Reviews for PerKup Cafe in West Des Moines, IA
Wether its breakfast or lunch the service is quick, relaxed and accommodating. The coffee isn't starbucks, but that's why I love... coming here. Its generally an older crowd when you go in, but it just adds to the experience. The burgers are great and i lovetheir clam chowder. I went with my mom and had the corned beef skillet. I would have preferred it with the hollandaisesauce.... but the nice crisp sautéed veggies, the corned beef. I had a flavored Americano.... oh gosh! This stuff is just toogood! Read more
This place used to be amazing. They changed their menu and now the Mama Mia omelette costs over $20 if you attempt to "build... your own." I usually have breakfast here whenever I'm in town for work. Planning on exploring other breakfast spots since thisone just went kaput. Staff continues to be wonderful. It's a bummer when owners change what isn't broken. Read more
They added corned beef hash to the menu! As demonstrated by my half-consumed portion pictured below - it's sooo good! ... Personally, I don't need the sausage gravy (but I bet lots of people will love it), I'll just know for next time. ? Read more
First, I must clear this up, this is not a coffee place. They do serve a good cup of Joe, but this is a restaurant. I'm always... wary of greasy spoons, but this one is awesome. I liked the tech they're using in there. They have pagers for the wait line,handheld ordering systems. Really throws you off from the purple booths, purple cups and wainscoting. Greta caught merearranging my jalapenos in my "kick it up" Omelette. She hurried over to me to check and make sure everything was okay.Everything was splendid. She did a great job. The food was great, I love to see the rings of Truth on a pancake that has beenpan-fried. Read more
Sorry for the unglamorous food pic, but that?s when I realized that this may be the perfect omelette. Egg / filling ratio... consistent from first bite to last and perfectly proportioned. The hash browns were crunchy, not greasy, and the onions werecooked but still had texture. Read more
Don't forget about this lovely restaurant nestled in Urbandale! Open 6 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Closed on... Mondays. On this visit they only had one table left which I snagged. My server Ann was a rock star. Quick, nice, knowledgeable,and everything I like in a server. I chose the Mama Mia omelet with hashbrowns and French toast. I could go on for days abouthow good they all were. Fresh, tasty, filling, pleasing to the eye, smelled wonderful, and FAST! I think it was less than 10minutes from the time I ordered until I received my food. Ann checked in a couple of times, brought me separate to go boxes somy omelet and French toast wouldn't cross contaminate. LOL. I ate every bite of the hashbrowns that were PERFECTLY crisp. Totalwas $15. I will get 2 full meals from it. Restaurant and bathroom clean. I have been here maybe 7 times? Every time hadsomething different, and every time it has been great. Breakfast is served all day, and you can start ordering lunch at10:30am. Read more
I stopped at PerKup after seeing high ratings on my cross country trip. I went with the Chicken Parm omelet and a side... chocolate chip pancake. The pancake was amazing and came with plenty of butter and syrup. The omelet was large but was averagein taste. Something didn't mix well. My server was attentive but didn't tell me that my side of sauce was an extra fifty cents.I wouldn't mind, but the sauce wasn't that good and the waitress suggested it. So, great quick service. Would visit again andtry a different sandwich or just a large stack of pancakes. Read more
