Who says the fall season is only limited to pumpkin spice?
It’s about to get cheesy and melty with Perkins American Food Co.’s new menu lineup for the fall season, and it’s not pumpkin spice.
Perkins American Food Co. is excited to introduce the NEW Mega Melts, designed for cheese lovers and fans of the restaurant. Starting September 4, guests can visit participating Perkins locations to enjoy these massive and cheesy sandwiches, starting at $11.99.
Guests can expect that each Mega Melt features layers of premium meats, high-quality ingredients, and plenty of melted cheese. They have the option to choose from a variety of sides and enjoy dipping sauces such as Homestyle Ranch, Creamy Chipotle Ranch, and a special secret sauce. But, if you’re looking for something fresh, Perkins also launched a Kale Apple Walnut Salad with seasonal ingredients that capture the essence of fall.
Mindy Armstrong, the VP of Menu Innovation, describes the Mega Melts as a modern take on classic favorites, with generous amounts of quality ingredients, which promises to leave guests feeling satisfied.

From The Club
I just love how some restaurants don’t ride the bandwagon of all-things pumpkin spice for fall. Instead they break it. That’s why I’m also loving how Perkins goes all cheesy and melty with their Mega Melts lineup, ohh we all need a dose of cheese once in a while, and Perkins makes sure we get our cheese fix while also offering a side of Pumpkin Pie this fall.
