We stopped to have the Turkey Dinner, which was really good! I was so excited to eat it, I forgot to get a pic! We actually left a nearby family restaurant just to come for the turkey! As we were leaving we passed other customers coming for the same meal. Tara was our server and she was fabulous! She was very attentive to not only us, but all her other customers. I would recommend the turkey dinner if you want an easy turkey meal.

Stopped here for supper on 6.30.2025 on my way to Minneapolis from Clear Lake, Iowa. I have eaten at several Perkins locations during my travels across the United States and the majority of them are generic. However, this location is an Exception! My server, Alexis V, was Amazing, Awesome, Spectacular, and Outstanding! One of the best waitresses I have encountered and an absolute pleasure to talk with while I took a break from driving. Thank You Alexis!!

Very awesome food. Service was decent. It was a bit busy perhaps because other local Perkins were closed. 8/10 would recommend.

Went to Perkins with my mom and two sisters, as we were doing some running around in Faribault, and we always enjoy the food here! We are always thrilled to have a family style restaurant like Perkins with their in shop bakery. They have a nice variety of food other than breakfast entrees. Would recommend if looking for a family get-together restaurant.

My family loves coming to Perkins, especially on the weekends for breakfast. Tons of options so there is something for everyone. The staff are always amazing and even on a super busy Sunday morning, it doesn't take too long to get a table or your food.

My first time at any Perkins actually, thought we'd grab a bite before we were on our way out of town. The service was good and the good came out almost as order. The crepes definitely looked nothing like the picture in the menu , they were about a tenth as thick. Almost nothing inside them at all. Otherwise, the food was pretty good.
