My boyfriend and I decided to dine here last night before a country concert. Our reservation was at…read more5pm and boy am I glad we had reservations two hours before the concert because this place was not ready for the crowd they were about to receive. I did appreciate that we were seated right away (reservations took priority over walk ins) but it took about 10 minutes before we were handed waters and menus. It then took 30 minutes before we received our appetizer to which we were then told the rest of our food was done at the same time. Typically, I don't prefer to eat my appetizer at the same time as my entree, but in this case I worried with how slow of service we were receiving I wouldn't see my entree for another hour. Almost all of our food was amazing. I ordered a house salad and the Fillet of Beef with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and wild rice soup and the prime rib. He said the prime rib wasn't anything to write home about but it did the job. Overall, service was slow but everyone was super nice. I think they just need to hire a few more people which I know is difficult to do. I really hope this place can find the help they need because the food is so good and I want to see this place continue to succeed.

A motorcycle gathering had closed the street outside, so we felt very lucky to get a seat when we did. The tap list here is impressive. I was thrilled that they had so many ciders to choose from, including several from one of my favorite cideries, 2 Towns. My husband was happy to have one of his favorite imports, Kilkenny, which is hard to find in the US, and followed it up with a local beer from Fernson, Ears Up. We started off with a South Dakota specialty, Chislic. I asked our server if it was more authentic grilled or fried, and she said grilled. They were really good! My husband had the Bourbon Bacon Burger with garlic fries. He really enjoyed it. I snagged a fry and it was tasty, with bold garlic. I had the pork tacos. These were not small street tacos, but very filling full-size tacos. A bit messy, but our server left us plenty of napkins. When she came by to ask if we needed anything more, we asked for the check. She said it'd be right out, and asked if we'd like free mini cupcakes as a thank you. She commented they'd been short staffed. I must say, everyone in there was working hard (the boss came by to check with us several times) and we have no complaints, only compliments. We then shared two mini cupcakes, one vanilla and one red velvet. It was a sweet ending to a really great meal.

We…read moreheaded upstairs to the deck, which has a really nice atmosphere and was a great place to enjoy dinner. Our waitress greeted us almost immediately and was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the nachos, chislic, and a Cobb salad, and everything was spot on. The Cobb salad was fresh, and the blue cheese dressing was especially good. The nachos were a pleasant surprise--they use real melted cheese instead of queso, and they were loaded with toppings. Being from out of state, we were told we had to try the chislic since it's a South Dakota staple. It reminded us a little of Chinese-style spare ribs in flavor. It was definitely tasty, though a bit chewier than we expected. Even so, we're glad we tried it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a local specialty. Overall, great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere on the rooftop deck. We'd definitely recommend Cubby's if you're in Brookings.

This Perkins happened to be near where I was staying, so I figured, why not? Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. Service was lackluster, and the food quality was surprisingly poor. It took an unusually long time to get seated despite the restaurant being mostly empty, and paying on the way out somehow took just as long. The food itself was atrocious. Everything seemed lukewarm at best, and the asparagus tasted like it had been sitting out for quite a while. Overall, not a good experience and not somewhere I would recommend.

We love Perkins but will never go back to this one in Brookings again!…read moreWe were a party of 7 and although it wasn't busy, we were told our wait would be 20 minutes because they had to clean the back room. The server placed our drinks on the table by grabbing them all from the tops. We had to ask for straws, not wanting to drink out of the glasses that her hands were all over. The omelets looked to be half the size that they normally are and had very little ingredients in them. The sides of hash browns were also about half the normal portion. The pancakes were also smaller than usual, thin, hard and cold. We had to ask for butter which wouldn't melt on the cold pancakes anyway, and the syrup dispenser was sticky. I ordered the Southwest Cajun chicken salad. What a disaster! There was maybe an ounce of chicken and it was not blackened Cajun. It also was missing the tortilla strips and avocado. When I told the server, she brought out a glop of avocado with some tortilla strip crumbs. (See photo!) When we mentioned that we were disappointed, the server replied with "Yeah, I don't know what happened." Poor customer service and the server was clearly not trained on how to check food before serving or how to handle customer complants. It was the absolute worst meal that we have ever had at a Perkins.

It was the weekend and breakfast appeared to be served all day. The menu is old-school and no-nonsense -- simple diner staples and exactly the kind of items you would expect from a place like this. The food itself was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. There is not much in the way of ambiance, and the restaurant itself is fairly small, so it can get loud when busy. That said, the service was quick and genuinely friendly. Overall, a solid classic breakfast spot that focuses more on good food than atmosphere -- and honestly, that works just fine here.
