Perkins Through The Years

From humble pancake beginnings to Niagara Falls favourites.

1958

Our doors open for the first time in Cincinnati, Ohio as a pancake house and we become famous for offering two dozen kinds of pancakes and waffles-from coconut to strawberry to classic buttermilk and everything in between.

1969

We change our name to Perkins Cake & Steak and introduce new lunch and dinner plates. Soon after, we change our name one last time to Perkins Bakery & Restaurant.

1986

Perkins in-store bakery is born. People keep coming back for pies, pies, and more pies. Now located in over 29 states, we continue to spread kindness and homestyle cooking across the country.

1988

Oh Canada! We officially make it international with the first Perkins opening in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

2001

Perkins arrives in Niagara Falls. Our Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex location opens, bringing all-day breakfast classics and fresh-baked bakery favourites to the heart of the tourist district.

2018

Perkins hits a milestone. We celebrate 60 years of serving up homestyle, comfort classics to folks with an appetite.
