“This place is popular, and for good reason: you’ll get good food at more than fair prices, accompanied by great service. We have eaten at this Texas roadhouse location half a dozen times, and the service has always been exemplary.Chances are good that you’ll be greeted by a packed waiting area. I think the shortest wait we’ve ever had there is 20 minutes. (We’ve visited at both lunch and dinner times.) It’s not that they’re not turning over the large dining area quickly — the staff are hustling to be able to serve as many customers as possible. The servers have always been cheerful and exceptionally helpful. In my opinion, they’re the best thing about the place.The food is always tasty. We’ve sampled many things across the menu from ribs to chili to chicken to steak. Everything is very well prepared and tasty. Knock your socks off amazing? Not quite, but for the prices, it’s an excellent value.At my most recent visit, I ordered the Roadkill, which my server said, was very popular. I inquired what a chop steak was. She gave me a description that sounded good, when it arrived it became obvious that she had never eaten it before. You learn something every day: a chop steak is a hamburger patty. This particular hamburger patty… er, chop steak… was smothered in delicious onions and mushrooms and cheese with some tasty sides. Needless to say, I was not disappointed with the flavors, but did find it humorous when I pointed it out to the waitress. We both had a good laugh. I’ll probably order it again. My dining companions got ribs which were good (when they say “fall off the bone”, they ain’t kidding), and a chicken sandwich which was very good.For our taste, the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. The decor is cool and comfortable, but it is loud almost to the point of distressing. Some people may like that, but conversation is not easy. Your dinner may be interrupted by the most anemic line dance you’ve ever seen. The poor weight staff have to trudge to the center of the restaurant and go through the motions with some regularity as they crank up the music to nearly unbearable levels. (Closed circuit message to management: this adds next to nothing for the dining experience, and your weight staff obviously gets no joy out of it. It feels like it might’ve been cool… 25 years ago. Please don’t continue to force this practice down anyone’s throat.)Overall, we always walk away from our time at this restaurant satisfied with our meal and pleased by the service.Kid-friendliness: Loud, fun, kid friendly menu and atmosphere“

“I went to meet a friend today at Apple Valley Perkins. The lot was full. I am disabled. Both senior citizen spots were filled. Three of us got there about the same time so we pulled into spots next to the senior citizen spots. One of the cashiers (long gray hair)came out throwing her arms up in the air and motioning for us to leave. I rolled down my window and she hollered, "THOSE AREN'T PARKING SPOTS!! THERE AREN'T ANY LINES!" She motions like she was making lines on the pavement The other two cars LEFT! I stayed ONLY because I was meeting a friend. SERIOUSLY? This is how you treat your customers? My friend showed up and she parked where I was going to park. The hostess was on the phone so she didn't control the parking. A while later, she came around to all the tables asking who owned the white vehicle out in the lot. We frequent Perkins a lot and have parked in those spots before with no problems. A walk from Petco is a little to much. Especially for a disabled person.“

“The place is nice more for children to eat, the food is more for children than for adults, there is little to choose from, the truth is I loved the fried chicken sandwiches until yesterday when I tried the old oil and it made me very disgusted ? it started me my stomach hurt when I finished dinner and all night I felt like vomiting ? and my stomach hurt, I hope they are more careful when changing the oil, as a mom I know the taste of old oil used several times, I will not eat there again in a long time and if I come back, I will not eat those chicken sandwiches again, maybe I would order something else ? I hope they pay more attention to washing the lettuce well and changing the oil for frying more oftenParking: Apple Valley MN there is enough space in the parking lot“

“Brunch was great- could have used more seasoning but I get it, making food for a bunch of people is not the same as for an individual. As good as the food was, the service was even better. Not everyone at our table of 6 had brunch but everyone was taken care of the way you'd expect at a $100/person type of restaurant.“

“Ok. Here's the deal. It's December. We walked into the restaurant, hoping for some Christmas spirit. Lights, garland, a simple tree. Perhaps a warm welcome or Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Nothing. Add to that very few people on a Friday night!The food was good, but the wine was overpriced and below average. Our waiter was wonderful. We are glad we tried it yet we will not return.“

“Very good food, the chef is always trying something new which is refreshing instead of having the same items. They prevent their menu from getting stale like some many others. Stacey is amazing, not only a great bartender but she does so much more for Celts. The rest of the staff are really good too. Highly recommend“

“Just moved to the area from Minneapolis and had to check out Famous Dave's. Had my toddler with me who fell asleep in the truck. My mother in law was also with me. We wanted to eat inside but didn't want to disturb the baby. So I went in to order for the family. Went in and was greeted right away. Josh ended up helping me. He let me take the menu out to decide with my family what to eat. Came back in and ordered. Josh said instead of waiting in here you can go outto your truck and I will bring it to you since your baby is sleeping. That was extremely nice of him! I appreciate Josh. Sometimes mothers need help. And he definitely did that! I will definitely be back! Oh and food was good! Thanks Josh for the great customer service!!!“

As others have mentioned, Midwestern food doesn't always have the most flavor, but sometimes you just need something simple and hearty. Geez Louise! One thing is that the place is a bit dirty... nothing gross, but it could use a deep clean. Overall, very yummy!“

“I went to Dennys today. May 16th at 4:45 pm Got a cup of coffee to go from a very nice and beautiful brunette waitress. I used the the rest room and on my way there she asked me if I wanted cream and sugar, i said no thank u, came out, and she said coffee was on the house, Wow! That really made my day. I thought of her and Dennys each and every sip of coffee. I live in Chan , but I will make the drive back again. Thanks a bunch. Rog“
