Denny's Menu Prices (2026)
Denny's is the archetypal American diner chain: open around the clock at most locations, breakfast available at any hour, and a menu wide enough to cover pancakes, burgers, steak dinners and everything between.
The pricing centres on two things. The Grand Slam builds — where you choose your own four breakfast items — are the value backbone, and the $5.99 / $7.99 / $9.99 Everyday Value Slam tiers give the chain a genuine budget menu that most casual dining competitors do not have.
How to Save Money at Denny's
- The $5.99 Everyday Value Slam is the cheapest sit-down breakfast at any national chain — two pancakes, an egg and meat.
- Build Your Own Grand Slam at $12.49 gives four items; ordering the same four à la carte typically costs $4 to $6 more.
- The 55+ menu takes roughly $2 to $3 off the standard versions of the same dishes for guests 55 and older.
- Denny's Rewards gives a free Grand Slam on signup and a birthday meal, both worth more than the annual cost of nothing.
Denny's Menu — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a Grand Slam at Denny's?
The Original Grand Slam is about $11.99 and Build Your Own Grand Slam roughly $12.49. The $5.99 Everyday Value Slam is a smaller version with two pancakes, one egg and two strips of meat.
Is Denny's open 24 hours?
Most locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but it is no longer universal — some restaurants, particularly in smaller markets, close overnight. Check your local restaurant before a late visit.
Does Denny's serve breakfast all day?
Yes. The complete breakfast menu, including all Grand Slams and omelettes, is available at any hour the restaurant is open.
What is on the Denny's $5.99 value menu?
The $5.99 Everyday Value Slam includes two buttermilk pancakes, one egg, and two bacon strips or sausage links. Denny's also runs $7.99 and $9.99 value tiers with larger plates and sandwiches.
Does Denny's have a senior discount?
Denny's has a dedicated 55+ menu rather than a percentage discount. It offers smaller portions of popular dishes — a 55+ Grand Slam is about $9.49 versus $11.99 standard — and it is available all day.
Does Denny's give a free birthday meal?
Yes, through Denny's Rewards. Members receive a free Grand Slam on their birthday, and typically a free Grand Slam when they first sign up as well.
