On this lunch outing, we were with our daughter and cozied up to the counter. Linda's often has a line waiting for a table. My wife loved her French Dip, and our daughter said her Eggs Benedict was fantastic. I was excited to see liver and onions on the menu, but alas, it was beef liver and tougher than a junk yard dog. Service was fun, professional, and accepting. I came from a meeting and was wearing a stylish, trendy suit, not the usual attire at Linda's. However, I was dealt with just fine. No one gave a rip. Prices are cheap, cheap, cheap.

Everything was good except the onion rings were over cooked, so our server did a reorder and they were excellent. To our surprise when we were going to pay for our meal, the server said the couple that were seated on a high top table near us, had paid for our meals. So, if you were that generous couple, THANK YOU so much. Sometimes, especially now a days in these crazy times, one starts to feel uneasy about what the future holds for us. This act of kindness really lifted our spirits. There are truly good people still out there and we so appreciate your kindness.

I had the half sandwich and soup option, which was perfect for lunch, and we grabbed some desserts to go afterward. There were plenty of options to choose from and everything looked fresh. The building itself has a lot of character since it's older with a very open floor plan. The downside is that it can get pretty loud and a little difficult to hear when it's busy, but it still has a cozy cafe feel overall. Definitely a good stop for a casual breakfast or lunch, especially if you're saving room for dessert.

When you do get sat, the service is fast-- your coffee is always filled and hot! The food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and delicious. It actually can get pretty loud in there. It is a very old building with an open floor plan, so when a lot of people get in there then start talking it can get to a medium roar, but nothing too loud. It's not like you have to shout at the person across the table so they can hear you. The prices are reasonable and comparable to the prices around the area, and bonus **if you have purchased an Elk River Football card, (and you have the card with you) you can get five dollars off your meal!

Awesome food and service…read more We were driving thru town and needed breakfast. This place popped up on the map so we decided to give it a try.

All of the food was delicious! The bread is even homemade. Parking lot right behind the building.

This review is going to be difficult to write because I have such mixed feelings. My last rating…read morewas a five-star review and parts of my wife's and I experience merit another five stars, but parts of the same experience merit a one-star. And that makes it difficult! Let's start with the positive... Their prime rib continues to be fantastic. It's meaty, flavorful, and juicy. After having some prime rib specials at other restaurants, I can really see that they quality varies. In addition, Dehn's dinner comes with excellent Parker-house rolls and butter, cup of au jus, and a baked potato -- all of which is good. It also comes with soup or salad. Their Beef Barley soup is one of the best version of beef barley soup that I've ever had. It's loaded with ingredients, the broth has a deep flavor and I have always enjoyed their version of it. So far, this is five star territory. However, on to the not so good... I ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was clearly medium to medium well done. Honestly, if you want medium rare, medium well done is a big disappointment. I asked the waitress for a more rare piece and when she returned she told me that the chef said the piece I got was from the center of the roast and was the rarest piece they had. Although they took $8 off the price, it was not a great experience and the meat just could have been much more juicy and tasty if they had cooked it properly. But there is more. My wife order the fried chicken and for the third time in a row, they said they didn't have it. (Dehn's, if you don't carry it, either take it off the menu or tell your guests about it before they order). My wife went with the grilled chicken breast, which arrived looking like and tasting like either a frozen piece of chicken, or a bad airline meal (for those of you who can remember that). It was really tasteless and dry. In addition to all of that, we waited 15 minutes to be seated in the nearly empty restaurant because (we were told) they were short staffed. In fact, there seemed to be one waitress and one kitchen staff person for the restaurant. Service was slow (although friendly by the person who wasn't really a waitress). So what's up with Dehn's? The area around the restaurant is turning from farm land to housing. The hours of the restaurant have been cut severely and they are now only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. My gut tells me that they are "caretaking" the restaurant and that although they have been open since 1958, I doubt they are going to see 2028.

At the door they were telling people that it would be 45 minute before their order could be placed but they could be seated and have coffee if they wanted to wait. The wait was actually about 20 minutes. We both ordered the Magnificent 7, two eggs, two slices of bacon and 3 pancakes. Mine came missing one slice of bacon my wife's came with everything plus a hash browns as a bonus. I was OK with that because the reason we went there was because it was supposed to be free for me as a veteran. The catch was that the offer was only good a participating restaurants and this wasn't one of them. If you get a free offer email from Perkins I suggest you call the one you going first to make sure they will honor it. They did honor it but! Also I should mention we ordered a pie to take home. The crust was slightly undercooked. For me undercooked is better than overcooked but not to this extent."
