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.
