Perkins Restaurant and Bakery is set to embrace the fall season with the return of its seasonal pumpkin offerings and a new value proposition that combines a meal and dessert for under $11. Starting August 26, guests can enjoy a range of pumpkin-infused items, from breakfast platters to bakery treats, while also taking advantage of the Burger, Fries and Pie combo, which begins at $10.99.
The pumpkin lineup, a tradition for over six decades at Perkins, includes the new Maple Bacon Pumpkin Platter, featuring pumpkin pancakes layered with cheesecake filling, topped with Maple Bacon glaze and whipped topping, served with eggs and a choice of bacon or sausage. The returning Pumpkin Pancake Platter offers fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes with eggs and a side, while the Potato Pancake Stacker Platter layers golden potato pancakes with bacon and cheese. For bakery enthusiasts, the Pumpkin Mammoth Muffin and the signature Pumpkin Pie are available, along with beverages like the Iced Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew and Hot Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
Matt Carpenter, Brand President for Perkins, emphasized the brand's commitment to comfort and tradition. "Fall at Perkins has always been about comfort and tradition," he said. "As the leading family dining brand with a bakery, we have a responsibility to make every visit feel like home, and pairing that comfort with real everyday value through our Burger, Fries and Pie deal is exactly how we deliver on it."
The Burger, Fries and Pie combo, available all day, allows guests to select from the Classic Cheeseburger or one of Perkins' Smashed Burgers. Pricing starts at $10.99 for the Classic Smash, $11.99 for the Mushroom Swiss Smash, and $12.99 for the Guacamole Bacon Smash. Each combo includes fries and a slice of pie, with choices such as Caramel Apple, Lemon Meringue, and Peanut Butter Silk. This offer underscores Perkins' focus on providing complete meals that include dessert, eliminating the need for additional purchases.
This move comes as many quick-service and family dining establishments are looking to attract value-conscious consumers amid economic pressures. By bundling a burger, fries, and pie at a competitive price point, Perkins aims to differentiate itself in the family dining segment, where perceived value and quality are key drivers. The inclusion of seasonal pumpkin items also capitalizes on the strong consumer demand for limited-time seasonal flavors, which often drives foot traffic and repeat visits.
For more than 65 years, Perkins has positioned itself as a destination for all-day breakfast and hearty meals, with a strong emphasis on fresh-baked pies. The new offerings are likely to reinforce its appeal to families seeking affordable dining options without sacrificing quality. As the fall season approaches, Perkins' strategy appears designed to boost customer engagement and sales, potentially influencing other brands in the family dining space to similarly blend seasonal promotions with value deals.
