    Took 2 hrs to get served, with about 12 people in total in the restaurant. It took about 1 hr just to get coffee and silverware, only to be served a cup with lipstick on it. Hair was in our food, and nobody checked on us. Our waitresses was never around. We had to get cream and sugar from another waitresses. We do NOT recommend this restaurant. Sad.

    Food was great! Service was fantastic but if you have an issue with germs. Stay away, soap dispensers in the bathroom are full of drug resistant bacteria, appear to have not been cleaned in years, as to why the bacteria has developed as far as it has. I brought this up to managment the last time I was here a few weeks ago and nothing was done. This leads me to believe the safety and wellbeing of the patrons does not matter. Beware of Perkins Faribault , I am sorry to the staff I have delt with, you have been great. Ownership/main managment is at fault.

    The minute my friend walked in waitress was rude, to him. Ignored us when we he asked her questions acting very short, basically told him everything is in the menu, figure it out. Got our orders wrong. Tried to get her attention for refills on water. I tried to order coffee several times she walked past me like I was invisible. I honestly couldn't believe how rude, she was towards our friend. I can't understand people.

    We've had breakfast here twice! Absolutely delicious! The gentleman waiter was very pleasant both times & took care to make sure we had everything we need! Those PIES are tempting! We're always so full when we leave!

  • 5/5 Beth E. L. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a Perkins fan. Like their decaf coffee and pie for dessert. Meals taste fresh and remind me of home when I was a kid. Staff cheerful and attentive, and helpful.

  • 3/5 Gary S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was tasty but the seating area was rather cold. The portions were good size for us older folks, but quite a bit smaller than they were 10 years ago. The waitress was friendly.

  • 5/5 Lucas P. 1 year ago on Google
    The Perkins staff and way is A+...especially for our family. We have young kids. From the coloring paper, to a bib and kids meals they do a top notch job. Thank you for adding a great time to our trip!

  • 5/5 Suzan S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were a little concerned arriving at 7:15 PM & their closing time is 8 PM. The young man who seated us was super friendly, as was our waitress. Food was hot and exactly what we ordered. They didn't say a word about needing to close, we left as soon as we were done eating, about 10 minutes after close time. I'd give more stars if available.

    Friendly staff, great food. Never disappointed.

  • 5/5 Terry F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, clean, friendly knowledgeable waitress and very accommodating for our group of 12 individual paying people!

  • 5/5 Jen M. 2 years ago on Google
    In spite of busy a very busy Sunday morning, we were greeted enthusiastically, seated within a reasonable amount of time and most importantly had fantastic service from Cassandra. With a full section she did a phenomenal job of being prompt and attentive, without seeming rushed.

  • 1/5 Santoya's O. 2 years ago on Google
    This how my food was delivered, i also ordered a 6 ounces sirloin stake that it dos not look like 6 ounces at all, i will never order or get food from this restaurant again . I work hard for my money like everyone else and the you order some food ans is disappointing when what you ordered is not what you expected.

  • 4/5 DOOD J. 3 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Kimberly C. 2 years ago on Google
    Got here 45 minutes before they closed. No one rushed us, even though I'm sure they were trying to finish up. The waitress was very apologetic for the lack of certain (gravy/soup) items due to the time of night, but we still had great service and the food was good and hot and affordable. Perfect quick last stop before home after a long road trip.

  • 4/5 Cash T. 2 years ago on Google
    they were friendly nice and polite always were checking if we needed refills or anything else and the food was also very good

  • 1/5 Laura A. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was awful! Unless you want diarrhea I don't recommend going there!

  • 5/5 Matthew F. 3 years ago on Google
    Great waitress and food everytime we are down here!

  • 5/5 Jacob L. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the bomb. Not sure if this review counts as much in that I just started working there after being off for 18 years. I feel like this entire restaurant is more organized, run efficiently, great staff, food quality is definitely increased since the early 2000's. Great "locals " that come in to say hello. All they need to go is bring back the late night bar rush on Friday and Saturday nights. Pretty sure it would be a hit! I'll volunteer to work it 🙋‍♂️!

  • 1/5 Kara E. 8 months ago on Google
    Food tasted like a reheated tv dinner. It was gross! Pies were mediocre and better from a grocery store. The server was okay. She forgot a lot but really tried hard. Then, after giving us the check, it disappeared for over 15 min because she was doing closing duties. Prices, okay. But I would rather just go somewhere else. Place smelled a bit.

  • 2/5 Rick S. 5 months ago on Google
    Ordered the salmon, rice, and broccoli. Requested No salt or added spices. Seemed like a simple enough request. Received broccoli that was smothered in salted butter. I don't know why they couldn't understand my simple instructions.

  • 1/5 Jake G. 5 months ago on Google
    The food has no flavor. The menu has less options. Perkins went down hill and idk why people even go there anymore. There’s other sit down restaurants in town and i suggest you go to them other places. As far as I see the price went up and the quality went down. I’d rather eat a frozen burger. I didn’t even eat my food after a couple bites don’t even know why I paid. It went strait to the trash when I got home.

  • 5/5 Michael J. 5 months ago on Google
    It was great to get my meal the way I like it. Nothing too outrageous, but it was done well. Really enjoyed the open space, seating, and the attention was at the right amount of needing service and having privacy.

  • 1/5 Jaree J. 5 months ago on Google
    Well after a couple hours wait to be served I must say were Super not impressed at all with the service. Had to ask more than once for drink refills and I can’t count how many times for the biscuits that were supposed to come with my chicken fried steak and eggs meal. I got them after I finished everything (which wasn’t much as for portions) my husband had to wait on shrimp for his meal as well which came when we all finished eating. Would have been awesome to have everything at once and all warm at the same time. The eggs were cold too. For 90$ too was pretty insane my husbands steak was smaller than the palm of his hand. French fries were few and far between nothing for my sons. Just feeling ripped off and hungry still lol. We literally were all hungry after leaving. The experience in spending time with each-other tho is as always priceless. Next time def will go somewhere else. The bathrooms def need some attention as well.

    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.

  • 1/5 Beatriz 9 months ago on Google
    It took about one and a half hours for the waitress to serve us, the food was cold, my mother in law got a hair in her food. my husband got lipstick on his cup, no one checked on us the whole time we were there, definitely not good management!! I would not recommend this Perkins,

  • 5/5 Randy H. 10 months ago on Google
    My wife had strawberry belgian waffles, eggs, and bacon. I had their chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and corn. Both meals were excellent, would recommend this place to everyone.

  • 5/5 Janet S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food food excellent services and the table was clean that's something you don't get to often anymore.

  • 5/5 Trevor P. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was awesome and came extremely fast. Our waitress Keira was so amazing and pretty with her smile. She was attentive to us and even went out of her way to compliment my daughter and socialize with her and us! Absolutely loved the experience! Thank you so much!!!

  • 5/5 David P. 9 months ago on Google
    I haven't enjoyed a meal at a Perkins restaurant in many years as there aren't any where I live. They have a huge menu, with everything one could wish for (breakfast, lunch, a snack, and/or dinner). I wish we had one in Maine! The food was top-notch. Not gourmet, just good, hearty, tasty "comfort" meals. The prices are more than reasonable too.

  • 5/5 Karen M. 9 months ago on Google
    Strawberry crepes were delicious! Grannies County Omelet is my go-to meal at Perkins. All ways are super good, and this experience did not let me down. Service was a bit slow, but they seemed like they were busier than usual. Made my trip to Faribault very nice.

  • 4/5 Kiya S. 1 year ago on Google
    They always are really fast and have good food you can smell for miles

  • 5/5 Taylor J. 1 year ago on Google
    Faribault Perkins is always fantastic. My grandmother and I come for breakfast together a couple times a week. It’s always a special time we spend together. You know what makes it more special it’s the amazing people who work here. They take the time to talk to you they make your experience very personable and are also very professional and efficient. I also might add that even though I love Mike the previous GM the New GM Sheri is such a wonderful lady she always has a smile on her face and such a kind heart ❤️ she always takes the time to ask us how we are doing and making sure that we are being well taken care of and we always are at Faribault Perkins. Fast service, great friendly staff and good prices. What more could you ask for?! Keep up the great work guys and Thank you!

  • 4/5 Julie O. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was not very warm. Waitress Theresa was awesome.

  • 2/5 Shane G. 3 years ago on Google
    Worst experience since reopening bacon was hard as a rock over easy eggs were over medium biscuits and sausage were way over cooked and my son's order of hash browns were twice the portion of mine. The wife's omlet had an over abundance of onions in it which were still crunchy as if they didn't spend my time cooking at all. We usually have a really good experience but this time not so much especially being as we spent over 50 dollars for the 4 of us

  • 1/5 Douglas S. 3 years ago on Google
    I tried calling in a curb side pickup order because of Covid 3 times and they just ignore the call. Best of luck staying open with that kinda of business mentality.

  • 5/5 Caleb B. 5 years ago on Google
    Classic Perkins. This location seems to have a few nice dinner specials from 4-9pm, basically your typical Perkins entrees (turkey dinner, fish n chips, etc) with soda and pie tacked on for 12.99. Not bad.

  • 5/5 John H. 3 years ago on Google
