Quick service and pretty good food in large quantities; just what this travelling hunter needed! The Chicken Fried Steak & Egg breakfast came w hashbrowns & pancakes for a whopping 11-1200 calories, and I enjoyed every bite!! The only negative was the preformed & breaded steak, which lowered the quality slightly - which is common among chain restaurants. read more

Portions were to small for high cost, pancakes were undercooked, server did not refill coffee. Overall unimpressed with experience.

I ordered a blue berry pancake breakfast with a side of sausage links. I received 3 small pancakes and two links which costed over $14.00. The portions were terribly small for the price. Oir service was not up to par. We never received another refill of water or coffee. I would not recommend this place. read more

They have the standard Perkins menu. If you like that, then you should be happy here. It's clean and the service was timely, food served quickly and waitstaff was attentive. Reduced stars due to limited operating hours and closing early when I was in town (due to snow?). read more

We stopped for dinner at Perkins. We where greated right away and brought to a booth. They're keeping the restuarant pretty clean and sanitizing their menu's after each person uses one as well as tables. We ordered breakfast for dinner and the cornbeef and hash and the Hearty Man's combo. We also ordered two appetizers one of chicken strips and fried pickles. The food came out very fast and hot, the only thing that was missed was the fried pickles that arrived hot but after we started eating our main meals. The drinks where kept full and we where checked on a few times during our stay. read more

My sister and I were up north for a girls weekend needed to do some grocery shopping but wanted breakfast first. Our service was excellent and breakfast was everything we had hoped for and I even had enough for another day. read more

Excellent service and perfectly prepared breakfast. Special thanks to Gunner and Jacob for making this a wonderful stop on our way to Virginia! read more

Host who seated us did not bring our drinks. Waiter who took our orders was friendly and observant. French toast was raw in the middle, scrambled eggs were just hacked up hard fried. Sausage was decent. We will not be going back!! read more

Busy place. Even so, the staff was friendly and efficient. Our food was delicious!

Service was amazing, food was great. I wish the children who eat here would calm down and sit at their tables and not approach every other diner in the restaurant. read more

We had excellent service and delicious food even with the restrictions in place. The Broccoli, Chicken linguine dish was so very good! We called to try to get cinnamon rolls later in the week but they were already out. I would recommend a stop and eat here for sure! Two years in a row we had great service and delicious food. read more

I've grown up eating in this restaurant. Food has always been good, especially for breakfast. After my last two visits to town and two visits to Perkins, I can say I will never go into this restaurant on my own cognizance again. Both times I came in I ordered the same thing; two eggs over easy, extra crispy hash browns, bacon, and dry wheat toast with a Mammoth muffin. My hash browns looked crispy but were sitting in a pool of grease. Each piece of shredded potato was soak through with grease. My over easy eggs were coated in grease and were also sitting in a pile of grease. I was completely disgusted. I didn't finish my breakfast either time. The reason I'm giving this review two stars instead of one is because the muffin was delicious and my servers were amazingly attentive. read more

When driving around the country we often stop at Perkins for breakfast. This particular location is much like the rest. Friendly fast service and decent food at a good price. We at this restaurant stayed much longer than usual to talk to relatives, we were not rushed of felt like we were intruding and our coffee cups remained filled;very nice. read more

When driving back to the Cities my wife and I wanted to find somewhere for breakfast. While we didn't want to do Perkins again as we'd had it just a couple of days ago, this was really the only spot off the freeway exit that was going to offer us a solid sit down breakfast. We were also a bit concerned about how the business would be as its location would seem to indicate that it caters to the travelling crowd. We were expecting in, out, and nary a smile. Boy were we wrong! First up - the staff could not have been friendlier. From the hostess who greeted us with the world's biggest smile, to the server who took fantastic care of us, to the manager who stopped by to ensure everything was just fine... Everyone was fantastic. Personable. Attentive. Just spectacular. I know several restaurants that could take a lesson from the fine people that work here. As for the food... On the whole I feel that a chain is a chain is a chain. That said, even though we'd just eaten at a Perkins a couple of days prior, both my wife and I felt the food here was far superior to the food we'd eaten at the other location. Everything just tasted better. Maybe it was the friendly service that just put us in a good mood, who knows, but we loved the food here. If you're heading out from Duluth back to the Cities and looking for a spot for breakfast, I'd suggest hopping on 35, heading south, and stopping here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Service was excellent. Our server was so friendly and perfectly attentive. Food arrived fast,hot and delicious. Hubby and I both had omelets, mine was the smoked bacon and ham omelet with home fries and one of their banana nut mammoth muffins, hubby had the ham and cheese omelet with hash browns and toast. We were very happy with everything. Price was very reasonable for the quantity of food. read more

Decent food. Poor service and even poorer communication. Not sure how well they train their wait staff.

Horrible service Took are drink order twice cuz they couldn't remember it. Said they wouldn't forget and then they forgot my pancakes. They were cold when I got them. Scrambled eggs were connected. read more

I like eating at Perkins restaurants and the service and food was just fine. I'm writing this because the carpeting is so filthy in the Cloquet location I lost my appetite! Come in management --let's do something about that! read more

The BEST Perkins I have ever been to. Tim was very friendly in greeting me and got me seated quickly. On the way out he was just as helpful. Nick my server, was competent, attentive, and ensured my dining experience was extremely enjoyable. I will not hesitate to come here every time I drive up to Duluth. read more

Service sucked eggs weren't scrambled kept forgetting drink order forgetting food cold food toilet was broken and plate had extra stuff

Waited 45 minutes to even place our order. Watched one couple get up and walk out because it was taking too long. When our food did come we had to ask for silverware. I've eaten here before and usually service is good, don't know what happened today?? read more

Perkins ad as a whole has always been a balanced and safe bet. However, this Perkins was really good for my first 3 years in Cloquet, then the food got very bland for a year, and then it was good again. Hoping this holds! read more
