Originally named Danny’s Donuts, Denny’s Restaurant went on to become one of our most popular family eateries.
In 1977, Denny’s introduced the Grand Slam Breakfast in Atlanta as a nod to Hank Aaron. It went on to become Denny’s most famous, and still-popular, breakfast.
Today, besides its famous pancakes, Denny’s is becoming renowned for its nutritious Breakfast items. Such as its Carb-Watch Ultimate Omelette: a three-egg omelette with sausage, bacon, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and diced tomatoes. Topped with shredded Cheddar cheese and served with tomato slices.
It serves many popular salads, including the Grilled Chicken Breast Salad – a seasoned, grilled chicken breast sliced and served on top of mixed greens with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and Cheddar cheese. Served with the dressing of your choice and dinner bread.
And then there’s Denny’s Steakhouse Strip & Shrimp, a new mouth-watering 8 oz. strip steak and six of our new lightly seasoned, golden-fried shrimp. Served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread.
