Scottsdale, Arizona – Perk Eatery, a cherished family-owned breakfast and brunch restaurant, is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary this December. Located at 6501 E Greenway Pkwy #159, Scottsdale, AZ 85254, this establishment has fostered a strong community connection, treating patrons as part of its family and providing a diverse and organic menu.

Opened by Pauline Martinez and her partner, both veterans in the restaurant industry, Perk Eatery was born from a desire to create an independent, mom-and-pop style eatery after relocating to Arizona from the Midwest. The restaurant’s commitment to community and quality has made it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

To ensure freshness and quality, Perk Eatery prioritizes organic ingredients and sources produce and meat from local family-owned farms. Recently, the restaurant has taken significant steps to improve its menu by eliminating items containing seed oils. Instead, it has opted to use healthier alternatives such as avocado oil, olive oil, beef tallow, and real butter, aligning with nutritional trends and customer preferences.

The menu features a range of breakfast items that have gained popularity over the years. Among the top sellers are the French toast and pancakes, the latter having been repeatedly voted as the best in the Valley. The French toast is crafted from a special recipe using challah bread sourced from a local bakery, enhancing its rich flavor and texture. Additionally, the huevos rancheros dish, known for its distinctive cilantro jalapeno sauce, has garnered a dedicated following and is now available for nationwide shipping.

Lunch offerings include customer favorites like “The Mucho Smoocho,” a grilled turkey sandwich, and “The Bahama Mama,” featuring chicken served on pita bread. The menu beautifully blends classic American favorites with a touch of Southwest flair, catering to a variety of tastes and preferences. Complementing this expansive menu is a full-service bar that offers a selection of cocktails, ensuring guests have options to pair with their meals.

Perk Eatery’s impact extends beyond delicious food. The restaurant is committed to giving back to the community, donating a portion of its earnings to local charities, helping to strengthen its ties with the Scottsdale area. Furthermore, the signature Cilantro Jalapeño Sauce, which has contributed to the popularity of many dishes, can be found for purchase online and at Whole Foods locations throughout the Valley.

The eatery’s unique offerings and community-focused approach have also attracted national attention. Perk Eatery has appeared on the popular show “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” hosted by Guy Fieri, including a recent ten-year follow-up that highlighted the restaurant’s growth and unwavering dedication to quality.

As the anniversary approaches, Perk Eatery remains a symbol of quality and community in Scottsdale. With its focus on organic ingredients, local sourcing, and a diverse menu that appeals to a broad audience, the restaurant continues to thrive as a beloved destination for breakfast and brunch enthusiasts, solidifying its place in the hearts of its patrons.
