“Came here on an absolute whim, not knowing exactly what to expect a few years back and were presently surprised. We came on a Thusday which historically has meant steak on special. I'm extremely picky about how I like my steak prepared and was blown away with how perfect they cooked it. We've gone almost monthly for over a year and it has been spot on every single time.
I've branched out and tried other things and have yet to find anything bad. The family feast fed 5 adults easily to the point of full. I cannot recommend the potatoes salad enough. The best I've ever had. The meat sweats pizza is also a favorite.
Service is always outstanding, bartenders make solid drinks. All around an absolute gem. Keep hoping to see it on triple D somesay.“

“Culver's keeps the great American hamburger experience alive.“

“We had a large group descend of the restaurant on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the Chateau Briand for two for $63. We each got a house salad, choice of potato and a 22 oz chateau Briand smothered in sauteed mushrooms. It was good. Our waitress Joan was very friendly and kept up with our table. She happened to overhear us discussing something confusing us on someone's fried chicken order and immediately cleared up the trouble without us having to say a word. That for a nice evening Joan.“

“Last week, Aug 22/24, we had the privilege of celebrating my friends birthday by dining at the Perkins on 88585 Aspen Lane N, Brooklyn Park, MN. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment thanks to the fantastic service we received from our waiter Anthony, and all the staff. The birthday boy had the salmon, broccoli, and French fries, which he said were excellent. I had the meatloaf dinner, which was delicious. Anthony topped it off with a birthday surprise piece of unrivaled chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Awesome!“

Thank you Deb.“

“We always get dinner after golfing in the area. Love the atmosphere and the service is excellent. I recently switched to a plant based diet so giving just 4 stars for food because they don't have boring salads and not much else for me. As a meat eater I loved most of the menu.“

“Came here for my sons little party hang out after his high school graduation. We had a blast. Only 2 guys working there butts off running from the bar, front counter, kitchen and assisting people with issues on there bowling lanes. I've never seen 2 people run an entire bowling alley like this before. They absolutely deserve a huge raise for their hard work and dedication that night. I myself would of definitely walked off the job, but for these 2 guys I take my hats off to them!!!!! We were there from 6:30pm up until closing time at 11:00pm on a Saturday night. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is in the area or just passing through. These 2 guys were so polite and professional. Made me and my huge family feel so welcomed and comfortable!!! Best place that I've been to for bowling and I will absolutely come back to this place. My new official hangout spot!!!“

We were given several options for an appetizer buffet-- and it was perfect! (The chicken wings were the bomb!) Beautiful presentation! Will checked in periodically to make sure everything was good. Our cocktail server was incredible too -- cute, personable, and efficient. My group could not have been more pleased. Kudos to all who made this happen!“

“We've been going to our neighborhood Applebee's for over 20 years. They have always supported the local sports teams and community generously so we support them. It's not hard to do because the food is consistently excellent and their top shelf margarita is the standard by which I measure all other margaritas. It's top shelf!

Kid-friendliness: A very family friendly restaurant“

“I moved into an apartment right across the street a few days ago, and all of my neighbors said to get over to Misfits & try the food. I came in tonight (8-1-24) and the bartender, Becky, was IMMEDIATELY welcoming! I stated I was recommended to try the food & she promptly sat me at the bar & gave me a menu.

She suggested multiple things from the food menu & told me to give it a good lookover. She also asked if I cared for a drink & so I ordered a beer. ICE. FREAKING. COLD. Perfect pour on tap!

I ordered 10 wings & the chicken wrap with grilled chicken. Becky let me know about the spice level of the Chipotle sauce & recommended it on the side being that
I stated the chicken wrap was for my grandmother. The people were vibing to the music & were all super friendly!

Different ages & race, & everyone got along! I will DEFINITELY be making this my regular spot at least 3x a week! Keep up the great environment, Misfits!

Edit* chicken for the chicken wrap was slightly chewy & a little bland.“

“I've been going to this restaurant for a decade the food is mostly average during covid the food was amazing this last year the burgers are smaller and sloppy just went last week my burger came in several different pieces the frys were good but sadly the burger sucked“

“I had a great experience at this location. Friendly waitress, tasty food, and a quiet atmosphere. The food was cooked perfectly. The hashbrowns are my favorite item followed by the chocolate muffin. The omelets and skillets have always been good. I look forward to going back.“
