The wait time to be seated was awful...we stood at the front entrance for like 15 minutes while one older lady slowly rang up a long line with their bills. However, once we were finally sat our waitress was great, she was very quick and consistently came back to check on us. The food was also great, I had eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato instead of the ham. Overall good experience, they just need to work on staffing. read more

We love to get breakfast here when visiting the area. The staff is honestly so so nice and amazingly kind. The only frustration was it did take about 25 minutes for us to get our drinks and we had all arrived quite thirsty so it was a bummer. The new American trio meals that they have are very affordably priced for a restaurant breakfast. We upgraded most of them to add a fruit or chocolate chips and that was wonderful. We also ordered a couple meals to go and they were very quick and hot and tasty. We had a great experience and will definitely return. read more

This is one of the few Perkins left in Minnesota...and it's a good one! My boyfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here today, We ordered from the 55 Plus menu (since we are both 55 plus) and got the two egg omelet with wheat toast for $8. 69.. The meal superb. Lisa was our waitress, and she was wonderful. Can't wait to go back! read more

The restaurant has been a favorite of my mother's for years. We bring her here for a slice pie & coffee a lot

Visited Perkins at about 8:30 on a Wednesday after a band concert at the middle school. We were seated right away and our server was relatively attentive which was really nice. The food also arrived relatively quick due to there only being a few cooks. Ordered a basic platter with Turkey sausage and egg whites with pancakes which was really good. The sausage was really dry but that was probably the meat choice. The pumpkin cheesecake was pretty disappointing. Didn't taste like much and had very little spice. Definitely wouldn't order it again but everything else was good. read more

I don't normally write reviews unless I get bad service. But I find this Perkins in Maple Grove MN to be Awesome. This is my families Perkins of choice passing by two other much closer Perkins just to go to the Maple Grove location. Our server Taylor was attentive, polite and very in tune to our group needs. She is an example of what a waitress or waiter should be. The food was great, and the building / bathroom cleanliness was exemplary. My hats off to the manager and staff of the Maple Grove Perkins just south of 694 off Hemlock Lane. read more

Julia was the nicest work I've ever meet the food was sooo delicious n I'll be back everyday almost now

Food is horrible here! To start, my waffle was way too crisp. The waitress put down that my mom wanted hard eggs not over easy so they came out wrong. The waitress did not make a note of this on the bill so the hostess was trying to charge extra for eggs that didn't come out correct due to waitress being an air head. My eggs were cold. The waffle came with no butter and I had to have it confirmed that I wanted the whip cream. There was also no ketchup at the table. Gross food, don't come here. Not to mention I wiped something brown off my water cup, ish! The water cups are super small that I didn't even bother to ask for a lemon as the water cups are cheap and make the water taste funky. I took the muffin home and ate it the next day when keep in mind I was hungry. Worst muffin I've ever had tasted stale and just plain funky. Wish I could give it a 0 star. read more

Service was really good. Karen took really good care of us especially during a very busy brunch hour. Food was good as well. I have no complaints. Thank you Karen! read more

they are consistently friendly consistently, giving great service and their food is consistently good. They're the best Perkins that I've been to anywhere for 50 miles around at least. read more

Go here during busy hours if you want food. If you go at 2pm on a Tuesday you probably will only get drinks. We were sat down and got drinks within 3 min. Sat there for another 15-20 just waiting to order and I had to go to work so I couldn't even eat. Very frustrating watching my server walk past us multiple times not even looking to serve us. read more

This is by far the best Perkins Restaurant & Bakery within a 10 mile radius of where I live. I have been to all around the area, but this one several times a month. Always excellent service, clean bathrooms and quick meals with short wait times. Seem like the manager(s) and wait staff care a lot about giving customers great service, no matter how busy they area. One server Shawana with a great smile and personality, goes the extra to make sure customers are taken care of with an enjoyable meal. If you are looking for a great meal at a great price at anytime, go to this Perkins (close to Costco in Maple Grove). read more

It's a great place to sit down and have a conversation while eating some very good food. I would especially recommend the breakfast options. I'm never unhappy with the food or service. read more

Great service and friendly people! My partner and I were craving the pancakes. I adore them! We were able to get a table within 2 minutes of arriving which was great for a Sunday. Luckily we sat and ordered just before a bus/group of 25 high school kids came in. Even with them coming and only having a few servers, Kristen did an amazing job of making sure all of her tables were taken care of. As someone that has spent their life in the restaurant industry, hats off to Kirsten and all the staff read more

Perkins American Food - "Green beans" and "bacon" - Bakeries Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Waited 45 min. People standing all over the place at least 5 empty tables.the refused to seat anyone because they were waiting for the kitchen to catch up. Stupid decision. Forced many elderly & disabled people to stand when they could have waited comfortably sitting. Hire some help people . It's not rocket science. It's Sunday. You are going to be busy. We are done. Too many good restaurants in this area to put up with bad management. read more

Had the sausage biscuits with American potatoes. The potatoes tasted like they were old and kept warm in a sterno pan all morning. Had an old greasy taste to them. The biscuits were rubbery and also Luke warm. All in all not a very enjoyable breakfast experience. read more

I've been to this location many times for breakfast and I've always enjoyed it. Weekends after 10:30 there will probably be a wait, but it's a decent sized place so the wait typically isn't too bad. The food is pretty standard at a reasonable price. They often have coupons so I'd advise to check your mail before going to save a couple dollars. They're open 24/7 and at night they have half priced apps, half off pie, and all you can eat pancakes for a reasonable price. read more

Perkins American Food - Eggs Benedict with hollandaise on the side and apple pie pancakes - Bakeries Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Ordered a hamburger and bun only to go. Would have liked to use the bathroom when arriving, but someone had left shit in the toilet. The order was wrong. Only meat and fries. No bun. Lady told the cook that he had done it right but that I had changed my mind! I live in NV but visit family near this restaurant often. I will never go back and do not recommend it to others. read more

Lenise is a great server! She was very kind. Great hospitality and easy to talk to. Got our orders right. Went the extra mile.

Perkins is my go to place for breakfast and lunch. Mike does a great job managing and he has hired some of the friendliest and helpful staff. I routinely bring quests with me knowing there is good food every time. There are at least 20 items on the menu that I like so I have variety since I eat out most days. It's also the best hot chocolate around. read more

We had the most amazing waiter! Joseph B was amazing and gave us great recommendations. We ended up getting the french toast crossaint. Loved it! He came and checked up on us and made sure everything was good. Great waiter. will definitely be coming back as long as he is working here! read more

The food was great but it took a bit of time for the food to come out of the kitchen. The waiters were also niceq

Raw eggs people. Not slightly undercooked but raw. Told the waitress who was super nice. She told her manager who came to our table but never mentioned the eggs at all. Pretended like nothing was wrong. The waitress came back and asked if her manager took care of it. I told her she didn't. She said the other manager Lisa also looked at the eggs sent back. and she would tell her to come by and take care of it. No one came by or said a word. Not acceptable. Even for Perkins. Picture of said eggs posted. read more

Perkins American Food - Raw eggs!!!! Disgusting. Manager did nothing about it. - Bakeries Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Waiter was super creepy and made weird references to my friend and I who are teenage girls. Kept walking by every 2 minutes could barely enjoy the food. The food was good though. read more

Good neighborhood breakfast or anytime spot. My kids like it here. The kids menu is great with a variety of options. The service has always been on point, and the staff is friendly. My kids like the claw machine on the way out. I'm happy we have a neighborhood Perkins. There is another breakfast joint, but overpriced & always a long wait. read more

Typical Perkins restaurant, from the decor to the menu. It's an old reliable place to find yourself a decent breakfast at a decent price. The wait staff here is pretty average, but not anything to complain about. My only complaint was the amount of time it took to get our orders; pushing 30 minutes from the time we placed them. However, it was Memorial Day at 11 and many other local restaurants were closed or stopped serving breakfast by that time. I had a little too much fun yesterday, so I had a ravenous appetite and need for eggs and bakey ASAP. The place was packed, but the wait to be seated was only 10 minutes. I had the Hearty Man's Combo ($10), which consists of 2 eggs, smoked sausage, 2 applewood smoked bacon strips and 2 sausage links with choice of smash browns, breakfast potatoes, tots, or fruit and choice of 3 pancakes, muffin, toast or 2 biscuits. I went with the over easy eggs, smash browns and pancakes on the optional choices. The smash browns are just smushed tater tots. The waiter warned me that they had onions in them, and that people that don't like onions tend to be put off by the extra onion flavor, but there were no onions to be tasted or seen. Bummer, since I love onions and they were pretty bland otherwise. The rest of it was tasty and hit the spot. Too many pancakes, in my opinion, but what I could finish of them were delicious. Washed it all down with a pot of coffee, which helped kill the crummy feeling I had when I walked in the doors. I'm in no hurry to go back, but it's a good plan B or C and a reliable place where I know it will always be consistent food quality. That's Perkins to me. read more

Nice and warm restaurant in which to eat when the air temperature outside is negative 10°. We were very pleased to be warm and toasty while we were eating. Great selection. 3 different menus. Had a tough time choosing my meal. I ended up going with the breakfast burrito. It was quite tasty and was a pretty good deal. Although, it would have been even better with a little more salsa and sour cream. Tuesdays the kids eat free.... but apparently that is only if the 2 year old in your group doesn't polish off an entire adult meal. I went with the pumpkin muffin with dipping sauce for dessert... although I may save it for breakfast. I'll let you know how it tastes. read more

Nummy! Always quick, easy and excellent! Service was great, food was hot and I left happy!

I always welcome the new dishes of Perkins. I appreciate their "fit" menu and I enjoyed the tilapia and shrimp. This left room for the dessert. No, not a pie but the stand alone crepes filled with sweetened cream cheese and fresh strawberries. The servers are always pleasant and knowledgeable. read more

Worst service I've ever had a restaurant took nearly two hours

I find this one of our favorite Perkins restaurants! Mike runs a very good ship!!! And Lisa is his star server.

Sub par terrible food, even by Perkins standards. Service was OK but still fake and boring. Will not go back again even for the new "rewards" program. The hash browns tasted like they were grilled in fish oil. The three pancakes were hard to cut through. The plates were super hot, however the food was warm at best, while we're on the topic of plates too, they served the omelette and hash browns on a super huge plate and the pancakes on another plate that was just right. This had the effect of making me think that I was being over charged. The omelette was passable, only because the poured it out of a carton, more than likely. The waitress was not the worst ever. I certainly never expect to have to take a plate from the server, and she handed me my food. This doesn't seem right. She was also a trainer there and seemed more interested in going by the book than my actual experience. She barely stopped by the table when asking after the first bites with the obligatory "how is everything?" It's easy to see why Perkins and Marie Calendar's are failing. I remember this perkins being one of the best late night stops around the cities. I didn't realize I had that much to drink. Do yourself a favor and go to The Kopper Kettle if it's breakfast or Lunch you're looking for. read more

Seeing manager Mike here more and things are better when he's there! Staff is well trained and food is good again.

Do not waste your time. Slowest wait staff in the world. Took 20 minutes after finishing food to get a server for pie and the bill. I will probably just back a pie next time it would definitely take less time. read more

Great service, especially considering it was 11 at night. The manager was very friendly and fun to talk to. Not to mention the food slaps! Sooo good. read more

Nice! The staff was great, food was great! We have ate there many times! Last night about 10pm I left my Visa card on the table. I awoke with a message from the staff that I had left it, and it was secured in the office. Very thankful as I am a contractor and from out of town, staying in a hotel. We have order pickup and have sat down many times the past 6 weeks. Great food and service every time! read more

So, my husband and I show up early to meet with his family. They ask how many and we say 11. She asks if we called ahead because they had a party call ahead, I said no. She turns to her coworker and they start talking about how they can't seat that many parties and the kitchen will get slammed. I thought for a minute they were going to turn us away. Another lady shows up and says, "well, whoever shows up gets the table." Which makes sense because I don't believe Perkins actually takes reservations. But at this point I just wanted to say, "you know what, it's obvious we are not welcome so we can find somewhere else." but considering we were waiting on our group I didn't want to change anyone's plans so we just sat down and waited. Anyway, then part of the other party shows up while we are are waiting one lady is preparing to take them to their table and another lady shows up and says, "I thought we were waiting till the whole party is here." And then walks off and says, "I guess we take reservations now!" It was all very awkward and made us feel very unwelcome. We did get accommodated, but the server you could tell was annoyed with us even being there though she tried to hide it. It wasn't a horrible experience just awkward and unwelcoming. I'd go back if I'm ever in town. It didn't seem to be a business issue just the staff on that morning, also likely to a rush. At the time I only saw two servers on when we showed up and then another two after we were seated. read more

Always a great environment and great food. The waiter was very nice and attentive. Pancakes are amazing as well as the pie.
