Founded in 1958, the Perkins system consists of 342 Perkins Restaurants in 32 states and Canada which includes 101 company owned and operated locations and 241 franchised units. Ever since Perkins started as a simple pancake house, there’s always been a drive to provide truly delicious plates and exceptional service. The menu has changed to keep our guests’ taste buds guessing, but our dedication to provide the best possible experience has not. Take a quick walk down memory lane with us.
