About

About Denny's

Denny's traces its roots to 1953, when Richard Jezak and Harold Butler opened a coffee shop called Danny's Donuts in Lakewood, California. The name was changed to Denny's in 1961 to avoid confusion with a rival chain, and the brand quickly expanded across the United States by staying open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — a then-revolutionary commitment that earned it the nickname "America's Diner."

The chain became a cultural institution with the introduction of the Grand Slam Breakfast in 1977, created at a location near Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium to celebrate Hank Aaron's home run record. Priced at 99 cents at launch, the four-item combo of eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes became one of the most recognized meal deals in American dining history. Over the following decades, Denny's added seasonal promotions, build-your-own options, and limited-time items while keeping the core menu unchanged.

Today Denny's operates more than 1,600 restaurants across the United States and has a presence in Canada, Latin America, and the Middle East through franchise partners. Headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the company has leaned into value-focused marketing and expanded its digital ordering and delivery footprint in recent years. Despite competition from fast-casual chains, Denny's durable appeal rests on round-the-clock availability, generous portions, and a menu that spans from $3 sides to hearty dinner plates, making it a staple for travelers, late-night diners, and families alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Denny's open 24 hours?

Most Denny's locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays — it's one of the brand's defining characteristics since the 1970s. However, some franchise locations may have reduced hours, so it's worth checking the store finder on dennys.com for your specific restaurant.

What is the Grand Slam Breakfast?

The Grand Slam is Denny's signature breakfast combo, introduced in 1977 near Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium in honor of Hank Aaron's home run record. Today it includes two eggs (cooked your way), two buttermilk pancakes, two bacon strips, and two sausage links — all for around $9.99.

Can I build my own Grand Slam?

Yes. The Build Your Own Grand Slam lets you pick any four items from a rotating list of breakfast options that includes different egg preparations, pancake varieties, French toast, meats like bacon, sausage, and ham, and sides like hash browns. The price is the same as the classic Grand Slam at about $9.99.

Does Denny's have a value menu?

Denny's runs periodic value promotions including the Everyday Value Slam, which bundles two eggs, two strips of bacon or sausage, and toast or pancakes for around $7.99. Side items like hash browns, toast, and fruit start around $2.99–$3.99 for diners looking to keep costs low.

What is Moons Over My Hammy?

Moons Over My Hammy is one of Denny's most iconic menu items — a grilled sourdough sandwich filled with scrambled eggs, sliced ham, and melted Swiss and American cheese. The whimsical name has made it a cultural touchstone, and it has appeared on the Denny's menu consistently for decades. It's priced around $12.99.

Does Denny's have vegetarian options?

Yes. Denny's offers several vegetarian-friendly choices including the Veggie Omelette, Buttermilk Pancakes, Belgian Waffles, the Fit Slam (with egg whites and turkey bacon), Garden Side Salad, and most desserts. Guests can also substitute plant-based items or request egg-white preparations. Always confirm with your server for the latest options.

How does Denny's compare to IHOP on price?

Denny's and IHOP are similarly priced, but Denny's tends to run slightly cheaper on signature combos. A Grand Slam at Denny's is around $9.99 versus a comparable IHOP combo at $10.99–$11.99. Both chains offer value deals, and either is a reasonable choice for a full sit-down breakfast under $12.

Does Denny's offer kids meals?

Yes. The Denny's kids menu is designed for children 12 and under and includes items like mini pancake breakfasts, grilled cheese, and mac and cheese, typically ranging from $5.49 to $5.99. Kids' meals often come with a choice of fruit or a small side and a drink.

Does Denny's take online orders and delivery?

Yes. Denny's has expanded its digital presence significantly and offers online ordering for pickup and delivery through its website and the Denny's app, as well as through third-party platforms like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Availability varies by location, and prices on delivery apps may differ from in-restaurant prices.
