Floridians who want breakfast from a chain restaurant that someone else cooks have plenty of options from Perkins to Cracker Barrel to IHOP. However, there is one chain that doesn’t have many Florida locations – Perkins – but that is about to change with a new Florida store in Orlando. And it may look a bit different as the chain is reportedly getting a makeover.
About Perkins In Florida: This is a vintage chain that started in 1958 as a pancake house. From those humble beginnings, it would grow to have 300 stores – 31 locations in Florida.
Today, you can get more than pancakes. Although there are plenty of breakfast options, you can also get pies, burgers, steaks, and a variety of comfort foods.
Some Florida Perkins locations are highly trafficked and well-received. For example, an Orlando location has been reviewed over 5,000 times on Google reviews and receives 4.2 out of 5 stars. Some appreciated the straightforward, comfortable vibe. A reviewer named Lisa wrote:
“(An) American chain restaurant that’s famous for breakfast, but their lunch and dinner are lovely as well. Great choice of good value hearty meals which are very tasty. They do a specific +55 menu as well which my dad was impressed with.”
