Perkins Restaurant and Bakery is ushering in the fall season with the return of its beloved pumpkin lineup and a new value offer that bundles a burger, fries, and a slice of pie starting at $10.99. The seasonal menu and combo will be available beginning August 26 for a limited time, according to a company announcement.
The Atlanta-based family dining chain, known for its in-house bakery, has been serving pumpkin-themed items for over six decades. This year's menu includes the new Maple Bacon Pumpkin Platter, which features pumpkin pancakes layered with cheesecake filling, topped with a maple bacon glaze and whipped topping, and served with eggs and a choice of bacon or sausage. Returning favorites include the Pumpkin Pancake Platter, potato pancakes with bacon and cheese, and the oversized Pumpkin Mammoth Muffin. For those with a sweet tooth, Perkins' signature Pumpkin Pie remains a staple, alongside seasonal beverages like the Iced Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew and Hot Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
Matt Carpenter, Brand President for Perkins, emphasized the importance of tradition and value. "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 is available all day and starts at $10.99 for a Classic Smash cheeseburger. Guests can upgrade to the Mushroom Swiss Smash for $11.99 or the Guacamole Bacon Smash for $12.99. Each combo includes fries and a slice of pie, with options such as Caramel Apple, Lemon Meringue, and Peanut Butter Silk. This pricing strategy positions Perkins to attract cost-conscious diners while maintaining its reputation for generous portions.
The announcement comes as the restaurant industry faces ongoing challenges from inflation and shifting consumer spending. By offering a complete meal with dessert at a competitive price point, Perkins aims to provide tangible value to families and individuals seeking affordable dining options. The move may also intensify competition among family dining chains, as customers increasingly prioritize deals and seasonal offerings.
Perkins operates locations across the United States and Canada, and the seasonal menu is expected to drive foot traffic during the fall months. For more information about locations and menu items, visit www.perkinsrestaurants.com.
