What's on the Perkins menu
Perkins traces back to 1957, when brothers Matt and Ivan Perkins opened a pancake house in Cincinnati, and it began franchising the next year. Over the decades it grew into a sit-down family restaurant with an in-house bakery known for pies and muffins. Since 2020 it has belonged to Atlanta-based Ascent Hospitality Management, which also owns Huddle House, and newer restaurants carry the name Perkins American Food Co. Wikipedia counted about 265 locations in 2024.
