Lived in Northern Minnesota all my life. Perkins WAS always good Food and service. But WOW today and past few times the Food quality and service (especially) has diminished greatly since our first encounter and experience. I ordered breakfast ham & cheese omelette mine came with no cheese on the inside and a sprinkle on the outside. I come back because they used to be really cheesy not just a flat. My husband ordered the “tremendous twelve” but got the “Really sad eight” - Pancakes never arrived. The past 3 times they have missed his pancakes. We each ordered coffee 10-15 minutes waiting for coffee and the thermos arrived with 2 1/2 cups. We waited our entire time there for our server to come back by to let her know about the pancakes and needing fresh coffee. We didn’t see her until she b

I enjoyed eating at this Perkins the wait staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. Food was served in a timely manner, I have been to many other Perkins throughout Minnesota and this one is by far my favorite.

It's exactly what you'd expect from a Perkins. Servers working hard to get everything as it should be. 😎 We ordered, waited a bit, and the food was delicious and worth the wait. Prices have gone up of course which is unfortunate but understandable.

I stopped in to pick it up a piece of pie. The staff member disappeared to the back for about five minutes, came back quickly said “here’s your pie. Have a good night.” And then literally rushed away before I had to a chance to say anything. It struck me as odd, I opened the package, and you will see the most pathetic looking dessert I have ever seen. I didn’t bother waiting for her to reappear, I just left and laughed. Don’t bother going here.
