Perkins Restaurant and Bakery is gearing up for the fall season with the return of its beloved pumpkin-themed menu items and a new value proposition that bundles a burger, fries, and a slice of pie starting at $10.99. The seasonal offerings, available beginning August 26 for a limited time, include the new Maple Bacon Pumpkin Platter, Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin Pie, and more, alongside the chain's smashed burger lineup.
The company, which has been baking pumpkin treats for over six decades, is positioning this year's lineup to cater to guests seeking comfort and tradition. "Fall at Perkins has always been about comfort and tradition," said Matt Carpenter, Brand President for Perkins Restaurant and Bakery, in a press release. "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 new Maple Bacon Pumpkin Platter features pumpkin pancakes layered with a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with signature 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 of bacon or sausage. For those seeking a savory option, the Potato Pancake Stacker Platter layers golden potato pancakes with bacon and cheese, finished with sour cream.
In addition to the platters, Perkins is introducing the Pumpkin Mammoth Muffin, baked fresh in-house, and the signature Pumpkin Pie, which has been a staple for decades. Beverage options include the Iced Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew and Hot Pumpkin Spice Coffee, both blending bold espresso with creamy pumpkin spice.
The value deal, available all day, allows guests to choose from the Classic Cheeseburger or one of the smashed burger varieties, with pricing starting 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 a selection of flavors such as Caramel Apple, Lemon Meringue, and Peanut Butter Silk.
This strategy underscores Perkins' commitment to providing affordable family dining experiences, especially during a time when consumers are increasingly cost-conscious. By bundling dessert into the meal, the brand aims to enhance perceived value and differentiate itself in the competitive family dining segment.
