    Brisket combo with sweet potato fries
    Bebe H.

    Road trip to Fargo, we stopped in this little BBQ shop. Have to say it's the best BBQ we had in a long time. Brisket was amazing. Seasoned perfectly and the meat was so tender. Sweet potato fries were great as well. Mac and cheese was great for my kid. Will definitely go back.

    Brisket, baked beans and corn bread yumm

    Fall off the bone ribs, scrumptious brisket and boneless wings that don't look like nuggets-real stuff real good. Order at the counter and prepare to need the paper towels on the table.

    The menu at this place is a little limited, but what they have tastes awesome. If you like BBQ, I would definitely recommend this place.

    What a fantastic place! It has a cozy vibe. We shared a booth near the bar that had a sense of…read moreprivacy to it. It was busy on a Saturday at 5pm, and was fully packed as we left. A motorcycle gathering had closed the street outside, so we felt very lucky to get a seat when we did. The tap list here is impressive. I was thrilled that they had so many ciders to choose from, including several from one of my favorite cideries, 2 Towns. My husband was happy to have one of his favorite imports, Kilkenny, which is hard to find in the US, and followed it up with a local beer from Fernson, Ears Up. We started off with a South Dakota specialty, Chislic. I asked our server if it was more authentic grilled or fried, and she said grilled. They were really good! My husband had the Bourbon Bacon Burger with garlic fries. He really enjoyed it. I snagged a fry and it was tasty, with bold garlic. I had the pork tacos. These were not small street tacos, but very filling full-size tacos. A bit messy, but our server left us plenty of napkins. When she came by to ask if we needed anything more, we asked for the check. She said it'd be right out, and asked if we'd like free mini cupcakes as a thank you. She commented they'd been short staffed. I must say, everyone in there was working hard (the boss came by to check with us several times) and we have no complaints, only compliments. We then shared two mini cupcakes, one vanilla and one red velvet. It was a sweet ending to a really great meal.

    Good pub food and great service! The cheese curds are yummy and the beer selection is extensive.read more

    We love Perkins but will never go back to this one in Brookings again!…read moreWe were a party of 7 and although it wasn't busy, we were told our wait would be 20 minutes because they had to clean the back room. The server placed our drinks on the table by grabbing them all from the tops. We had to ask for straws, not wanting to drink out of the glasses that her hands were all over. The omelets looked to be half the size that they normally are and had very little ingredients in them. The sides of hash browns were also about half the normal portion. The pancakes were also smaller than usual, thin, hard and cold. We had to ask for butter which wouldn't melt on the cold pancakes anyway, and the syrup dispenser was sticky. I ordered the Southwest Cajun chicken salad. What a disaster! There was maybe an ounce of chicken and it was not blackened Cajun. It also was missing the tortilla strips and avocado. When I told the server, she brought out a glop of avocado with some tortilla strip crumbs. (See photo!) When we mentioned that we were disappointed, the server replied with "Yeah, I don't know what happened." Poor customer service and the server was clearly not trained on how to check food before serving or how to handle customer complants. It was the absolute worst meal that we have ever had at a Perkins.

    Poor service; great food: The waitress never brought the appetizer I ordered, forgot the side of…read moreranch, we had to ask for silverware, and ask twice for the muffin. She also got our ticket wrong, adding extra coffees and not adding the milk (maybe it was because the coffee and mlk were the same price??) However, the food was excellent and the wait time for food was reasonable. The food was hot, flavorful, and plentiful. The restaurant was very clean. Overall, I'll definitely comeback and just hope we have a different waitress.

    My boyfriend and I went there today because we thought we would try it out for the first time…read moretogether and overall our experience was terrible. When we first got there we were sitting at the speaker for about 6 minutes then when they finally took our order they seemed to have an attitude when we got to the window we paid $13.09 for two smoothies. Already overpriced. After they take our money at least 5-6 girls just stood by the window smiling and laughing at my boyfriend and we waited what felt like forever just to get our two things. when we received our first smoothie the girl who handed it to my boyfriend gave me a nasty look then we had to wait about 4 more minutes just for the second. You would think with the amount of useless workers there the service would be fast and efficient but no. As we were leaving town I noticed on my smoothie it said "you're cute" which was obviously meant for my boyfriend seeing as how only girls were working at the time we went there. Now we know why they were standing there like they had nothing better to do with their lives. One of my best friends knows a girl that works there who witnessed it happen and knows it was meant for my boyfriend for sure. Never going back there. Service was slow, unprofessional, inappropriate, uncalled for. Do not go there unless you want to pay for overpriced smoothies, Rude teenage girls, slow service, and overall unprofessionalism. If you're old enough to have a job you're old enough to have some common sense and respect. Disappointed I can't get a refund. Will continue to share my terrible experience. That was the first and last time I will ever go back there again.
