    Came for something different than what's in Waseca. Food was ok. Most of us had chicken fried steak, they seems to be of frozen kind, moms asparagus was tough, the chicken fingers were the best out of all the food. Dessert on the other hand hit the spot.

    Remys food on the right was half the price of the meal on the left. .how does that make sense?

    Funny that my 2 year old sons meal was bigger than my husbands meal that costed twice as much. .. That aside, the staff was excellent. Our waitress was super nice and trained well. The manager helpful as well. The food was lovely as always.

    My lady friend and I stopped here after being on the road for several hours. This turned out to be a great place to relax with some comfort food and recharge our batteries. My chicken strip dinner I definitely enjoyed. The mashed potatoes with brown gravy I thought was the best part of my meal. I loved it! Unfortunately we didn't have any room for dessert. The waitress was very kind to us. As she should be. I'll be happy to come back if I pass this way again.

    Leroya was new but enthusiastic about making our experience positive in every way. The food was typical for a Perkins.

    Brenda was very rude and disrespectful to me and my friend. When we asked questions it would not be answered just ignored. Horrible service.

    Sherri is the best worker on night shift she passes the vibe check. The strawberry lemonade is so good and Sherri and Bobbie are the best.

    Good average food but a little spendy for a casual restaurant. Average $12 per person. Staff is pretty good.

    This was a large place with a lodge type vibe and lots of specials with appealing options. The…read moremenu had lots of choices ranging from burgers to seafood to steaks. The service was alright. It took some time to receive some items, but they were very friendly. For an appetizer, the Asian plum wings ($14) were ordered. There were eight wings that were of good size. They were cooked appropriately and had a nice crunch. The sauce was interesting as it had a soy sauce flavoring with a spicy factor with a little bit of sweetness too. For my entrée, I had the 8 oz. Viking steak ($29). It came with a side, green beans, and bread. I chose a house salad for my side which was an added charge. The salad was alright, onions just cut too large, and not really a lot of bacon present. The bread was okay. The garlic butter was appetizing. I ordered the steak medium rare and that was how it came out for the most part. The steak was flavored nicely, but some parts were a little tough. The green beans were tasty and pleasant with the butter used. Will I go back? I would, yes.

    This is getting such a low review because the service was bad enough that we got up and left before…read morewe ever placed an order. For some background, Timber Lodge was a steakhouse my family used to go to all the time in the early 2000's (specifically the Fridley location - RIP), so there's a lot of nostalgia when I think of this place. Owatonna is quite the commute from Saint Paul, but I thought it would be worth it for a Father's Day surprise, as this restaurant chain was special to my dad and I. I made a reservation in advance and had specifically requested booth seating. When we arrived this evening, the front desk let us know it would be a 15 minute wait for our table, no problem as we arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early. My dad and I sit at the bar, wait 5 minutes for the bartender, get our drinks, and then another 15 minutes later someone comes to seat us. My dad paid out the bartender and then walks with me to our table. The host seats us at a 4 top regular table - my dad asks if we can be moved to a booth (as my reservation requested) - the host lets us know that there are no booths available...but there are at least 8 booths open with no one seated. We accept that we'll have to sit at a table, but then wait 15 minutes and no waitress even acknowledges us. At one point, an older woman asked my dad to get out of his chair because of the way the floor plan was set up, she couldn't get past otherwise with her walker. At this point we had enough. What should have been a lovely meal with my dad to celebrate, ended up being a waste of an hour drive down to Owatonna. If there's an immediate takeaway, the staff should be more attentive and communicate better with their patrons. Will not be back.
