Free breakfast for vets on memorial day at this popular pancake house

EAST WINDSOR, NJ – Perkins American Food Co. will honor active duty and retired military personnel with a free Magnificent Seven Breakfast on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, at participating locations nationwide.

The complimentary breakfast includes two eggs, two strips of Applewood smoked bacon, and three buttermilk pancakes. Guests must present a valid military ID to redeem the offer, which is available all day.

Once a statewide chain, Perkins has just two restaurants left in New Jersey, in East Brunswick and East Windsor.

“Our teams are incredibly grateful for the military men and women who have selflessly given their time and efforts to ensure our safety through all branches of the U.S. military,” said Kimberly Bean, VP of Marketing for Perkins American Food Co. “It is a great privilege to show them our appreciation on Memorial Day.”

Perkins, known for its all-day breakfast and homestyle meals, has served as a popular gathering spot for generations. The brand was founded in 1958 and has recently rebranded as Perkins American Food Co., reflecting its continued focus on quality, value, and service.

The Memorial Day initiative is available for dine-in only and is limited to one meal per qualifying guest. Participation may vary by location, and guests are encouraged to contact their local restaurant for details.

Celebrating service with breakfast and community

This Memorial Day offer aligns with Perkins’ long-standing community-focused values and is part of broader efforts by the brand to honor those who have served in the U.S. military. The promotion is offered annually as a way to give back and recognize military contributions.

In addition to its Memorial Day event, Perkins also offers year-round promotions and a loyalty program. Guests who join the Perkins e-Club receive 20% off their next visit and access to additional offers delivered via email.

Perkins provides dine-in, curbside pickup, and delivery service through PerkinsToGo.com. The full menu, including bakery items and seasonal specials, is available on PerkinsRestaurants.com.
