Perko’s Cafe

Went here with family visiting and we all loved it. Between all of us, we ordered omelets, pancakes, french toast and bacon. Everything was great. Service was fast, waitress was very attentive and the food came to our table hot and pretty quickly. Good portion sizes too. Will eat here again soon.

Service was excellent as well as my omelette… no complaints besides it seems a little stuffy inside other than that amazing breakfast will be back

Great place to eat on Cleveland. Beats all the other restaurants in the shopping lots surrounding it. The customer service is great. I went there on my lunch break for breakfast. Food arrived fast, was delicious, and very filling for a small price of 7 some odd cents.

Much better food than I expected. Wait staff was friendly but not attentive. Beef bites appetizer was good.

We dropped by this place to grab a quick bite coming from Yosemite. The waitresses were super friendly and welcome. The food was decent, in filling portion. Will come back if we visit Yosemite again.

I’ve been here a few times and have always had great service with good, hot food!
I recently visited and had a meat lovers omelette… it was fantastic. Will definitely continue to dine here when I’m in or near Madera.

Love it here! Service has always been good, the servers/​waiters are attentive. The food has always been good and I’ve never had an issue with a meal. The kids meal has a good selection for the kiddos and they work with you if you need to switch things around.
I’ll always pick Perkos over any other similar restaurant in Madera.

Great food for the right price! Service by our waitress Kelly was AWESOME! If you’re in the area, this is the place to eat.

Went because it was walking distance from the hotel… thought it was supposed to be farm to table, not sure what happened to my meal? Bread was wet and soggy, tri tip? What tri tip! Almost non existent on the sandwich and what was there was burnt or crispy! There was supposed to be mushrooms as well, it might have had four pieces geesh! Nothing like the picture on the menu! Sad! Best part of meal was 10% off bill for showing room key!

Good portions, typical diner food selection, clean nice atmosphere. Good was tasty. I got blt, didn’t care for the cheese in it. It actually ruined it. Had the clam chowder, good considering area. Nothing spectacular. Would choose this place over Denny’s or IHOP any day

We love comming here! The wait staff is super friendly and helpful. The prices are good for the amount of food you get.

Food was ok not great. Our waitress was not friendly at all. It looked like they were understaffed and we keep having to ask the waitress for refills and items that were missing on our order. This is not the first time but it’s the last.

Good food, great prices, and the fastest service I get anywhere. Plus the owners and staff are great people.

Great atmosphere. Staff is friendly Food was great. Just passing thru. Cya next time.

I came through Madera to see my Mom and take her to breakfast. She said this was her favorite place to have breakfast in Madera. She also liked it because they have a senior special that was very inexpensive (5.00). When she ordered the senior special they told her it was $ 8.00 not $ 5.00…not much of a senior special if you ask me. I ordered my favorite breakfast, eggs Benedict. The food took a while to get to us, but it was kind of busy, so I let that go. I always test the yolk on my eggs, because they are supposed to be runny on eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked fine, then I took my first bite! My eggs were full of egg shells! It was disgusting! I called the waitress over and told her to take it back, and please tell the cook to leave out the shells. It took 20 more minutes to get a new plate, and this time the yolks were hard boiled. So I sent it back again, and walked out of this place with no breakfast. The server didn’t even apologize! I will never go back to this hole in the wall place!

Oh Yeah. When you are craving chicken fried steak breakfast at dinner time, THIS is the place to go. Gravy had real bits of sausage in it and was delightfully hot, Crispy hash browns came out just the way I ordered them, English muffin looked like it had swam the English Channel of butter. (note to self, Easy on the butter next time). Waitresses were attentive and Ice tea never got to half full before one of the girls asked if I wanted a refill. Sat at the counter and even though it was a Friday and the place was hopping, dinner came out in a timely manner. Delicious. Plenty of parking, Clean silverware and positive vibe.

Good food. I would recommend going there with your family or friends.

Came in after the Spring Fling for a bite to eat. There is no greeting by staff when you enter. We were looked at and then ignored. The girls are busy chatting amongst themselves. Finally I asked a girl if we sit ourselves and she said no would you like a table or a booth? We sat at a booth and looked over our menus. We both ordered the California burger and ice teas. The food arrived quick and the taste was amazing. 4 stars for yummy factor –1 star for the greeting or lack there of. Would I come again? Sure would.

Been here a few times… convenient stop on the bike when headed from the Bay Area down to SoCal. Located JUST off 99, it’s right next to a gas station, making it even more convenient.
This is definitely a typical «country style» restaurant… meaning, it’s out in the middle of nowhere (well, Madera… close enough), and having more of a «homey» atmosphere then anything you’d find in the Bay Area. Good menu choices, ranging from breakfast through lunch sandwiches through dinner… and although I don’t eat it, there’s a good selection of ice cream to finish up with. The beauty? Diet Pepsi… sweet!
I typically get their burger (shocker). It’s prepared well, is a good sized hunk’o meat, and is available with swiss AND bacon… nice! It also comes with a barrel’o fries…
I’ve been with others who order the breakfast (at 1pm… go figure), and they seem to down it about as fast as I can down a burger… so suspect that breakfast and dinner are as good as the burgers. Definitely recommended!
Lastly, GREAT attitude by the wait staff… always smiling, always rushing to take care of you. Definitely recommended!

This place just remodeled and it looks great. The new menu is awesome. I wish they would bring the KIDS EAT FREE days back but I am sure they need to pay for the remodeling. I love the HAYSTACK burger with Swish cheese.
When you get off of Highway 99 at Cleavland Avenue look for the Red Barn. I think the new look of this place is going to make it a Madera landmark. Before the place looked like every other coffee shop up and down the freeway. Now it really stands out.
The wait staff is great. All very cute except for the ugly guy they have there for breakfast (hahaha). My ice tea is always filled most times without asking. They know to bring the A1 with my burger and they interact well with my kids.
I am very critical and don’t often give a five star review but this place earned it. The portions are large and the food is tasty. Plus the steaks they serve are the exact same ones they serve at Cool Hand Lukes across the street and a more reasonable price.
Get yourself to the Barn today. You can thank me later.

If you are served by the ugly guy for breakfast, please point out his ugly looks. He thinks it’s funny. Oh and by the way, he is one of the best straight waiters I’ve ever had serve me.
