Country Kitchen, Cannon Falls - September 30

Her perspective: B+

We were seated immediately and the host asked us for our drink order. Our server was out shortly to bring out our drinks and asked if we needed more time to decide, but we were both ready.

I ordered the Country Scramble Combo and asked if I could get blueberry pancakes with it instead of plain. She said she could certainly do that, but did not say it would be an extra charge. I expected it would be, though, and I was right. I also asked for skim milk with the meal. William ordered the Barn Buster, which is a huge amount of food for $10.

Our food came out in a normal amount of time, and the only issue we had was that William's eggs were ever so slightly overcooked. Everything tasted really good. I had a hard time stopping eating, even though I was in danger if over stuffing myself. I simply could not eat it all. The server did check back, but it wasn't until we were about halfway through our meals, but other than that, she was very attentive and gave us what we needed when we needed it.

Everything was clean, including the caddy on the table, everything in it ( all the bottles, etc.) and the games they leave on the tables.

It was really refreshing to get good service and good food in the same place. It is such a change to what usually happens when we go out, that we were impressed by the normalcy of what we remember when we were kids. We will definitely be back - regardless of the 30 minute drive to get there.

TGIFriday's, Burnsville - September 28

I used to work at Friday's in Maplewood, so I know what the exact corporate standards are.

However, I'm getting very tired of writing bad reviews, so I'll just give this one a C- and move on...
