  It's Perkins. What do you expect? I know it's not the Five Crowns in Newport Beach. But come on. At least be polite. We walked in, and two workers were too busy to stop their conversation to greet us.  Finally, one of them walked us over to a table, threw the menus down and left.
  
  On the way, another worker walked right in front of us without saying 'excuse me'. The place is getting dirty and dingy. I pray to the Kitchen Gods that it was clean back there.  Sometimes you have to go to a greasy spoon, but that doesn't mean you should be served with a greasy spoon.

  Best Perkins, ever! Food is standard Perkins fare. Good service, huge dining areas. Cute old school diner style eat up counter.
  If you like Perkins, breakfast, or a safe bet on the "American nearly fast food tip" this is the Perkins to visit.
  **Disclaimer: This Perkins is rated on a curve against all other Perkins I've experienced. If you are not familiar with Perkins, as a whole I would give the chain a 2.5 reliable, but mainly meh. Breakfast is decent.**

  Typical perkins food but it was fast and good service.... This was the biggest perkins I've ever seen! The staff was nice and hard working.
  I will go back, and had widest selection of baked goods i've ever seen at a perkins.

  Clean and busy. Typical Perkins foods, but still good. Can not speak for the woman's bathroom, but the men's was super clean. Heck even had a switch you can turn on to let the staff know they need to clean the restroom.
  Get there early for breakfast, it gets busy real fast.

  Other Yelpers said that the syrup is tremendous. They weren't kidding. I think they mixed melted butter into the maple syrup. Pancakes were soft, spongy and
  sweet. Basted eggs were PERFECT and hash browns were crispy and not greasy. Winner!

  The classiest location of Perkins in existence by my accounts. First off it's on the Bloomington-Edina border, if you need to know one thing about Minneapolis suburbs, it's that Edina is up there.
  
  Second, it's located in the busiest area, right off France Ave and 494 situated next to some office buildings. I've heard that this Perkins location is one of the busiest and has very high profits, which I don't doubt. All the traffic makes this Perkins a great place to go, whether for lunch or dinner or a late night snack, it's clean and friendly. The best service I had there was from a server named Tom. He is the most friendliest and upbeat person, you'll understand if you meet him.
  
  The food is great, a large menu from desserts to brunch and dinner. Perfect for all occasions. I would recommend their pancakes or sandwiches. I appreciate how they're really helpful with splitting checks too.

  Being from CA, I have never heard of Perkins.  I've done a lot of traveling around the country, and I've still never heard of Perkins.  Alas, my first sight of it would be from the hotel shuttle from the airport.  I was surprised to learn that the hotel was just next door... about a 2 minute walk through the old Circuit City parking lot.
  
  It was my first day in Minnesota.  I had had a long day with the flight in, and preferred to stay in for the night.  This particular restaurant was absolutely perfect for the occasion.
  
  I'm not sure if this location is new, but it sure seems like it.  The building is clean, the landscaping is fresh and the place is bright.
  
  inside is no different.  The fact that I saw the word bakery on the sign told me that it was definitely a casual place.  Sort of like a Marie Calendars or Bakers Square if you're from CA like me.  Therefore it's casual, but by all means not ghetto.
  
  Seating was quick (I went at 10pm) and the place was busy, but not packed.  There was some renaissance faire nearby that just closed for the day or something, because there were all these high school kids dressed up.  Weird.
  
  My server, Christy, was awesome.  Totally attentive, social, and informative.  I ordered an appetizer, entree, and a dessert, and she enjoyed the bottomless pit i call my stomach.  Maybe she knew the tip would be higher, but I doubt it.  Left thank yous and smiley faces on my take out boxes and check.  Super nice.
  
  Southwest egg roll things for starters, Kickin' Chicken' Sandwich for main course and an oreo cheesecake for dessert.
  
  Yum yum yum.  What a great first Minnesota meal.  So filling.  Good thing I had to walk home so I can walk off all i ate.
