    A fun, family friendly stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner! The staff is friendly and is helpful with menu tips and in quick service! We brought my sister's two small children along with us and the staff was great with the kids, too! The food was hot and delicious. I also enjoy the many drink options available through the fountain beverage machine! This Perkins has been a staple in West Duluth for years and shows some of its years of love, but still remains a solid option for some good eats and delicious pie!

    Omelet menu photo vs. actual presentation of omelet.  The actual omelet was the smallest I have ever seen at a Perkins.

    The parking lot is currently in horrible shape. Not sure if they plow it or not, but it feels like driving through a boulder field with potholes. We ordered a few minutes after arriving and waited over an hour for our food to come to the table. The wait to eat was quite a bit longer than we expected, which was very surprising considering there were several people working and not very many people dining in the restaurant. We were all very hungry and looking forward to enjoying some tasty and filling breakfast food. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, it didn't look nearly as appetizing as it did in the photos on the menu. I might have to say that the presentation was about as far from the menu photos as I have ever seen at a restaurant. I will post some photos. I wish I had set something next to the omelet to show the scale... but it was the tiniest omelet I have ever seen at a Perkins.

    This Perkins is much gooder than the one we, RADDA RADDA, had yesterday in Eau Claire. It ain't no Duluth Grill, but MAN oh MAN is Brenda (been here 20 years!) a riot. Such a fun server. Makin' ya feel right at home. Surf's up!

    Ordered the raging Cajun and it was a disappointment.. Barely has any sauce and tasted very plain.

    Ordered a ragin Cajun and when I went to pick it up it looks really plain. There was rarely any sauce on it. It also tasted plain. I've made quick homemade pasta with little experience that tasted better than this. It was pretty disappointing.

    Will make you go to the Doordash pickup area to get your order even if you are right in front of them. A little rude, tbh. ​

    We were in Duluth for a weekend and wanted an upgrade over the free hotel breakfast. We came here…read moreright when they opened and it was families and small kids. I think the boozy brunch crowd comes in late morning. We were seated quickly and ordered breakfast. We got the usual pancakes, French toast, etc. Everything was good. Best ever? No, but pretty solid and the portions were generous. The kids ate it, which is most important. The service was good, too. It was a bit hectic for the staff because they sat like 8 parties of 4 all at once - all with kids, so it was a lot for them to manage, but they pulled through and we were well taken care of. I heard it gets packed by mid-late morning, so if you can, get there early!

    Not sure how I overlooked this place. I will say move over Duluth Grill, I have a new favorite…read morebreakfast place in Duluth! We went to the Lake Ave. location in Canal Park since it was walking distance. Walking into the establishment you are greeted with the aromas breakfasts being made and a hostess who was friendly. We opted to eat outside under the covered patio to enjoy the day. The menu has plenty of options to suit one's fancy - pancakes, waffles, pecan/cinnamon rolls for those with a sweet-tooth, and of course any number of savory plates for the rest of us. Making an eating decision can prove difficult. the Huevos Rancheros looked appealing as did the breakfast sandwich, and the brisket eggs Benedict. I opted for what was behind door number four and picked the country fried steak and eggs. Much to my delight, instead of the usually Sysco food distributor breaded chopped steak topped with a gravy from an institutional food can - They actually used a rib-eye for the steak, and homemade gravy. I also had the option of toast or a pancake. I always love me some decent rye toast, but today was a day to mix it up, and the pancake was nice, and not too big. I also liked that there was an option for blueberry syrup, or Maple syrup. The other item ordered was the Greek Omelet, my wife truly enjoyed it, and they also cooked her hash-browns to order which she appreciated (she likes them really, really crispy). I this will definitely be a must have place to eat every time we are in Duluth. I highly recommend this place.

I started with the Tempura Fried Cauliflower appetizer, which ended up being my favorite dish of the night! You can choose between sambal aioli or crabapple BBQ sauce -- I had the aioli drizzled on top and the crabapple sauce on the side, and it was amazing. I'm not usually into autumn spice flavors, but the crabapple sauce was subtle, slightly smoky, and paired beautifully with the crispy cauliflower. For my entrée, I had the Coconut Curry Bowl. It was flavorful and hearty, though a bit strong and salty for my personal taste. They also offer a kids' menu with generous portions (I've included a photo for reference -- grilled chicken, fries, and veggies). Overall, great vibes, friendly service, and a wonderful cause. We loved supporting a non-profit restaurant dedicated to the arts and community development!
