    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.

    Excellent bbq. Restaurant closes at 7:30. Had the beef brisket sandwich, was great.

    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

    I had not been to a Perkins in years. I was in the mood for something quick, healthy and light -…read morealthough sometimes those do not go together. This Perkins happened to be near where I was staying, so I figured, why not? Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Service was lackluster, and the food quality was surprisingly poor. It took an unusually long time to get seated despite the restaurant being mostly empty, and paying on the way out somehow took just as long. The food itself was atrocious. Everything seemed lukewarm at best, and the asparagus tasted like it had been sitting out for quite a while. Overall, not a good experience and not somewhere I would recommend.

    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.
