About the Denny's menu
Denny's began in 1953 as a doughnut stand called Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, California, and grew into one of the best-known diner chains in the country. It is headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and had 1,459 restaurants in September 2025, 166 of them outside the U.S. Most are franchised. In January 2026 a group of investors took the company private.
The menu is long, but breakfast is the reason most people come, and Denny's serves it at every hour the doors are open. The Grand Slam, a plate of pancakes, eggs and breakfast meat, is the template for a whole family of Slams. Since January 2026 the value tier has been the Slammin' Meal Deals, starting at $5.99 all day. Our calories are not official, so check Denny's Nutrition Guide.
