Restaurants near Big Lake

“I showed up after hours hoping they were open but they had just closed. Owners were still there waiting for a customer to pick up an order. Customer never showed. Owners approached me as I was leaving and gave me the food for free. Some of the best Asian food I have ever had in my life. Fed me and some hungry co workers. 5 stars. Great food and good service. Will be back.”

“Coffee is so good and the atmosphere is so cute and cozy! Worth the stray from your normal Caribou/Starbucks drink. 🖤”

Elegant and simple liked I asked for. You won't be disappointed.”

“Wow, just wow Tico. His attention to detail with the meat on my foot long was meticulous, it was like watching a show. He curled that meat up and shoved it in my foot long, even with all the toppings on he found a way to make it fit. Thank you for this otherworldly experience with my foot long.”

“We loved it!! So happy to have you here in Big Lake!!”

“EDIT/UPDATE: I've changed my mind. I've since come back a couple times when I wasn't on lunch break and had the mindset that it was going to take a little bit. much better experience. the food here is SO MUCH BETTER than the McDonald's across the street.

this might be the slowest "fast food" place you will ever find. you can't get anything done at this place in under 20 minutes. there can be no one in front of you and nobody in the store and it's still a minimum of 20 minutes to get your food. whoever runs this place should be embarrassed.”

“Our order is wrong 70% of the time... no, I don't complain it does no good. The prices are totally outrageous... especially when the quantity of the food, French fries, hamburgers thinner, then a cardboard box. Not employees faults. They're very fast & try to be ”

“Great burritos and tacos, and super options for all the fixings. We had steak, barbacoa and carnitas and all were great.the tortillas were a bit thinner and chewier than most places, but we liked them. Burritos were HUGE. Well worth the money.”

“I recommend this place to everyone I can! Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been delicious. The chocolate covered bananas and the street tacos are my favorite! They have so many unique dessert flavors that you can’t get anywhere else. The customer service is just as fantastic as the food and ice cream.”

“Love the ladies here! Atmosphere is great!!”

“Ray and Chris were amazing bar tenders. Very attentive and served awesome drinks ?. If you want to have a fun night with the kiddos and bowling definitely top notch.”

“Such a cute place! Loved the menu, food/drinks were delicious! I will definitely be back!”

“Wonderful restaurant”

“Veronica was awesome very personable, kind and thorough and serving us a great meal. Highly recommend Perkins and if you’re lucky you’ll have Veronica as your service gal! My wife and I enjoyed the visit very much.”

“Really a 4.5. The amount of food you get here is astounding for the price. It is a fast food joint, so the atmosphere is bare bones, but the food would never make you guess that.

You make your meal down a line and assemble it through your choice of burrito stuffings. There were plenty of vegetarian friendly options. Out of everything we tried, I wasn't a fan of the queso for eating with chips (all together that was a bit too salty), but the queso did work in the burrito.

Vegetarian options: Bean protein base offered in place of meat. It's listed on the menu as well, so you do not get a charge for substitutions.

Parking: It's a business plaza, the parking is shared between multiple businesses. There are many spaces, but availability will be affected by neighboring businesses.”

“Isaac and Pete helped throw my sons graduation and my husbands 70th birthday party. The price is reasonable and Isaac Garces and Pete the manager really pulled this together to make this a great, fun niight for all ages. I have also held my 50th back to the 80s birthday party and Isaac and his team were absolutely amazing.”

“A 5 star takeout pizza place? Yep. The Godfather's Pizza in Becker, MN is just that. Nothing fancy, just really good pizza and really good service! If you ask, they will do everything within their power to accommodate you. That's all anyone could hope for...right!? I can only speak for myself, but that's been my experience at this takeout pizza place.”

“great flavors of ice cream great place to support your local business.”
