The food: where these dishes come from

Perkins is known for pancakes and apple pie. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a Perkins location. How Perkins's 30 Florida stores compare with their counties.

A routine inspection is one visit on one day. Inspectors in different counties record violations differently, so compare a count with its county average, not with a restaurant in another county. Nothing on this page is a rating. Source: DBPR inspection files, data as of 2026-11-09; DBPR's own record for this licence is the official one.
