Perkins & Marie Callender's, LLC is a prominent American restaurant company that has undergone significant transformations in recent years. Historically, the company operated two well-known dining chains: Perkins Restaurant & Bakery and Marie Callender's.

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

Established in 1958, Perkins Restaurant & Bakery is renowned for its all-day breakfast offerings, hearty American dishes, and an extensive in-house bakery selection. The menu features pancakes, waffles, omelets, burgers, and sandwiches, complemented by pies, muffins, and other baked goods.

As of April 2024, Perkins operates 265 locations across the United States and Canada. Following a restructuring process, the Perkins brand was sold to Huddle House but continues to focus on its core offerings of breakfast and American cuisine.

Marie Callender's

Founded in 1948, Marie Callender's is celebrated for its homestyle meals and signature pies. The restaurant offers a menu with salads, sandwiches, and various entrees, all accompanied by its famous pies.

As of June 2025, Marie Callender's has 23 locations, primarily in California, with a few locations in Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. The brand now operates independently following the company's bankruptcy restructuring.

Company Restructuring and Bankruptcy

In August 2019, Perkins & Marie Callender's, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which led to the closure of 29 underperforming restaurants.

This process resulted in the sale of Perkins to Huddle House and Marie Callender's to a separate entity, allowing both brands to continue under new ownership structures.
