My wife and I enjoyed a hearty breakfast here while charging our car in the parking lot. Typically,…read morewe are scarfing down fast food while charging, but this was a pleasant change. Our server Becky was pleasant and friendly. She took good care of us. We were seated by a window overlooking the parking lot, where we could keep an eye on our unhitched trailer. The dining room was large and pleasant. Perhaps only two other tables in use this early Monday morning. The breakfast menu is quite large, and many of the items get paired with pancakes for some reason. My wife ordered two fried eggs, fruit, and toast. I went big with a three-egg everything omelet, hash browns, white toast, and an added side of bacon. I was upgraded to a large OJ for $0.30 more. My wife's eggs were slightly overdone but still enjoyable. The fresh fruit was pleasing, as was her thick sourdough toast. My omelet was delicious and filling. I polished everything off. By this time, our car was charged and so were we to continue our journey west.

We have always had great food and waitstaff service at this Perkins location. (Fergus Falls, MN)…read more For an inexpensive and filling meal, you can't go wrong with their hamburger, fries and pie special but they offer "breakfast" all day, too! Who doesn't love eggs and hash browns at the ending of the day? Ambiance is typical Perkins. It's all good.

I ate lunch here last week-although the food was acceptable- and the service was mediocre--it was what I saw when I went down the stairs to use the ladies room that made me sick !!!! As I past the men's room with the door wide open--there was an older man standing there masturbating in plain view !!!! Ishta--I couldn't get out of there fast enough !!! read more

The French toast came with 2 eggs (your choice of how you have them cooked) and a few slices of bacon. The French toast was cooked perfectly! The Eggs Benedict was amazing (in my opinion). It came with a side of hash browns and they were just the right amount of golden brown and crispy. With it only being one person manning the cafe, we only waited 10 minutes for our food which was very reasonable in our opinions. We did not order any baked goods but everything looked just as good.

Yes, they used to have a white board with the menu, but now have laminated menus. And they used to not take credit cards, and now they do. But what I suspect they've always had is great food. This is a diner. They do wonderful, soul-filling diner breakfasts. And they are nice, friendly people. I love this place, and I'm so happy they are here. And bacon. Get the bacon.

The service is always friendly and our orders were ridiculously delicious. The Swiss Mushroom Burger is my forever favorite and I'm obsessed with their onion rings. Everything is simple but done so right. I also really appreciate how thoughtful their packaging is - each burger comes in its own box with sides of ketchup, mustard, pickles, and napkins. It's such a small touch, but it really makes you feel taken care of. And the ambience? Adorable. It's like stepping back in time. A totally vintage feel and full of charm. We usually sit outside on their benches with lakefront views and string lights overhead. Just a heads up, payment is cash or check only. Can't recommend this spot enough. Already counting down the days until my next Maple Beach Burger fix. Until next time!!

Maple beach has great burgers and it always seems busy. The food comes out in a timely fashion. The seating is primarily outdoors ( maybe only outdoor since the pandemic). Rustic with some picnic tables. The owner / chief cook is rude, always. The best you get is ambivalent. The folks that help him are always courteous - I would rate this a 5 if the cook would smile once.
