Sure, Perkins started with dozens of pancakes and waffle options, but soon enough we grew to offer American staples like breakfast all day, hearty steak plates, juicy burgers, and a wide selection of handcrafted handhelds, soups, and salads. Who we are Founded in 1958 as a single pancake house in Ohio, Perkins has grown into a leading family dining restaurant now for friendly service, classic comfort food, and great value.
