- The MacMaster is in Orlando Florida at Denny's to review their Lumberjack Slam. Buttermilk Pancakes, Grilled Ham, Bacon Strips, Sausage Links, Eggs, Hash Browns and White Toast and is struggling to find something nice to say about this breakfast that seems to be yet again, mass produced processed junk food.

It is quite strange that the richest country in the world has the worst food in the world.
I remember the Camp Coffee that my mom made with hot milk to make a very Froffy Coffee and its distinctive brown glass bottle. Yes, the breakfast didn't look as well prepared as the IHOP.
The only people I know who drank Camp Coffee were my grandparents. I was always annoyed that they didn't have 'proper' coffee, i.e. Co-Op Instant😂I think they drank it for health reasons but not totally sure.
Yet I remembered that I enjoyed this camp coffee. Ummm!
First Denny's I visited was in Seattle, WA. Great food, decent prices and nice staff. One of the best breakfasts you can get !
Yep still are consistently. From a Brit now living near Seattle loving his grand slams
Sorry Lee, missed part of your review, trying to listen to the conversation in the background. As for the thin tiny sausage they are link sausages, common in North America.
Watching this now. I ate Denny's in Orlando, the food was quite simply terrible, veggies boiled to mush like we did in the UK in the 70s. I was with my girlfriend at the time along with my Dad and Step Mum, I remember really winding him up because he was 55 and eligible for Senior Citizen discount which he was too embarrassed to ask for 😂😂 Thing is I am 56 now myself, he is no longer with us and it seems like yesterday 😢😢
It’s breakfast for the American market. I don’t mind Denny’s for breakfast. You need to try Golden Corral with their plastic plates Lee
Not overly impressed with that at all based on looks. Those sausages didn't look good at all. Give me a full English with all the trimming anytime over that.
Imagine a plastic breakfast in a plastic state
Think you're being a bit critical.
It's fast food restaurant don't expect local café standards and quality.
You can't mark them the same way.
As fast food goes it looked OK.
Exactly! Lee's reviews of majority US restaurants are primarily negative. He's either slamming the food, the cost or both? These are not places representative of the US. That's like me going to the UK and basing food culture on Weatherspoon's or Toby's? If he dislikes it here so much then why keep coming back?

I'm from the UK and I've been to the States a couple of times and absolutely loved it.
Including I might add the food.
We went to a KFC while we were there.
And I can honestly say it's the best KFC I've eaten.
So much better than what we get here in the UK by far.
And the local restaurants in the states were excellent as well.
If you watch more episodes you will see I don't slam them all! Just the naff ones that deserve it. Also it's NOTHING to do with it being American. I lived in the USA for 12 years and bought property and paid taxes there. It's the places. It could be in Australia, Switzerland or France or England, if somewhere is cr#p I will say it is.
I always liked Denny's but then again I lived on C-Rations in 'Nam for 3+ years so, well you can fill in the rest. Let's just say no one ever accused me of being an epicurean (even GI's know fancy words sometimes.) Bon Appetit!
No disrespect meant at all but America does not do sausages or bacon, both are dreadful.
Breakfast didn’t look too good, hash browns looked raw in the middle? I think they saw the pan for like 2 minutes as they wasn’t even a good colour. I’d go 3 out of 10
Great video! .. as a PSA ..lol.. Many thanks!
Lived here 50+ years .. Never been to Denny's, IHOP, or stayed at a Holiday Inn.. All 3 are only good after 2am after a pub crawl.. I don't drink, soo..
Hope you arrived home well..
toast is toast in my opinion
American toast is yuk
@@lisacrane3143 American bread is yuk, but I’ve found a brilliant keto bread that’s lovely, just costs an arm and a leg
I found interesting the "happy" staff who were having a discussion behind you. You were too generous. Having tried 3 different Denny's, I would never go there again, even though I can get a 15% discount. Much of the food is low quality, what is served often does not match the menu description, and service is usually poor. The one thing they do right is put the calories on the menu. Most of those breakfasts have more than I could consume in a day.
Agreed, one member of staff could be heard talking to another how he'd been accused of stealing $600 (not very professional and should be a private conversation out of hearing from customers.
Used to love a Denny's back in the day I used to jokingly pronounce it Denais to make it sound posher LOL,I agree as you get older you grow to like the finer things,we are going to Las Vegas ( Lost Wages) in September and we are looking forward to a breakfast in Mon Ami Gabi.
I love Mon Ami Gabi !
😂 there was a dennys in Glasgow at braehead near glasgow airport, it didn’t last long.
I went once, food was awful, service slow…. Processed sh**e
Ooooh Lee, you really dumped on my Denny's. We lost our local example of Denny's some years ago due to sales I guess. We used to go there all the time as it seemed ideal for weekend mornings and we didn't have an IHOP. Now we've got an IHOP which I am in all the time in hopes of encouraging them to stay. Whatdya gonna do? I'd give em an 8.0.
All this time I've been thinking I would love to live in America, all the food looks so good on TV, big portions, value for money good service, and now it would appear its shite food, under portioned, and expensive, thanks MacMaster for opening my eyes, I know what to expect when I go now, and I know to take a lot of money if I want good food
Ahh Denny’s, my go to American staple breakfast over years of visiting rubbished in one sitting. Nice work
Well I could eat that right now love Dennys hash browns but the best place for breakfast & meals in general is Cracker Barrel. In all the years I've been to America I've never eaten at IHOP I must check out that video. I also like Shoneys breakfast buffet.
Denny's opend a restaurant in Melbourne, but the food was so bad that it closed again 6 months later.
The all American breakfast looks like💩💩 but that's just my own opinion, another great vid 😎👏
The avanti was called the International palms when we were there. Remember the resort fee was a daily charge. Its a con. Ya think ya getting a good deal. Might as well say some were else for a few more $$$. Lots of places have resort fees on international drive. Looks a bit run down these days. Was heaving back in the day.
Had similar size sausages at the Mediterranean Palace in Las Americas. Give me good quality British sausages any day.
The Denny’s at lake Buenavista is where we go when in Florida and tbf their food and service has always been great , quality good too , it’s a shame yours wasn’t up to standard, but like you said different manger , different staff can make all the difference with a franchise like this . The breakfasts in the USA will never be as good as a good old English breakie , but as they say ‘ when in Rome’ 😂
I remember camp coffee, it's still available in supermarkets but don't look in the tea/coffee aisle, you'll find it in the home baking aisle. As for hazelnut coffee, did you know that during WW2 Germans were using ersatz coffee made with acorns and you can still buy it 🤮
Call that a sausage?. You can't beat a proper British banger.
i once went in Denny's in Florida and asked for Blue Berry Pie waiter said they did not do it but that they had a Blue Berry Pie in Kitchen and the whole Pie was ours on the house.
The only thing going that looks edible are the eggs and toast,the sausages look a little sad,keep up the good work Lee and stay safe as always,safe journey back to England.
I worked in the US for quite a while, and I'm a very staunch critic of the English cooked breakfast, but the American breakfast is absolutely revolting, it's just wrong, completely wrong, your point about the coffee coming always *ALWAYS* with containers of UHT, why?, I realise being Irish that we're blessed with outstanding dairy products in the milk and butter, so our breakfasts are great, but Americans settle for awful margarine and fake milk and it's just dreadful!, why do they accept it?
Glad to see you added ketchup, looked like the meal was screaming out for some seasoning/ sauce. We actually had some good memories of Denny's when on road trips across the US but I suspect after several hours in a car you just want to refill and move on. That was over 15 years ago mind.
Hi Lee The sausage is Banquet “ heat and serve “ variety or variant sold here in the states it’s terrible but for some reason always has a large display in the local supermarkets,The hash browns are most probably catering and frozen,take care
Can’t hear you for the dude behind you being vocal! 😂😂
I'll give it a 6.5/10. Not the greatest meal, but by far the worst either.
I agree with all the criticisms you mentioned, also agree with "I just want a coffee!!!" travelling to places like Australia, and just wanting a cup of tea, be prepared to be asked "which tea would you prefer?" When they say "Engish breakfast?" I say "no thanks, I've already eaten". Have had a few 😀, but also a few 🙄(I get it, it's a bit of 'Dad joke') from the servers. They also ask you "would you like milk with that?". The default option ALWAYS should be the 'English Breakfast' blend, and with milk. If the customer wants anything different, then let the customer tell you... otherwise, crack on with it, and don't ask the customer 1,001 questions, when he wants to be left in peace!
It gets annoying VERY quickly - esp. when you go up for a second cup of tea.
Hope you had a safe flight back to NYC (given that you'll have already done the trip). 👍
Are you depressed today Lee?
It looked ok to me. Maybee if they had charged you $50 you would have been more impressed?
If you think that looks OK then I suggest Specsavers 😉❤️
@@TheMacMaster Maybe I should try another optician,as I already have my eyes tested there hahaha!
LOL :0)
Hi McMaster instead of trying to go for a full English breakfast which the Americans don't do they don't do back bacon or Cumberland switch icon for French are waffles don't expect to get an English breakfast in the and the USA
I'm 7 minutes into this and no longer care about the 'breakfast', I want to know what the staff were talking about!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
What can I say that looks terrible them sausage are so small and the so called bacon 🥓 it's a 2/10 my score
Got to get to a Cheesecake factory Lee, my last trip to Danny's was somewhere an route from LV to SF cheep food, but an American institution a bit like our old Wimpy bars
Totally agree used to visits lots years ago in Florida Denny’s and Perkins were place to go , my first trip in 92 Perkins did 7 breakfasts for $1.99 ! On trip to Buena Park last year by knotts had Denny’s 2slams over 50s menu 2 coffees they asked for donation for charity tax and tip came to $32 😮 place was filthy our meal arrived at table by robot 😮😮 was cheap rubbish …. Later we found Arthur’s coffee shop been local mis match decor but great food and staff much better
Tbh I quite like a Dennys breakfast. It's NOT a full English but you aren't in England
Even most of the menu pictures looked fairly unappetising to me. Lemonade tea just sounds weird but of course lemonade is something different in the States.
Denny's always seems like a good idea; big diverse menus, diner-style, open late, etc but it usually disappoints. Some are better than others though, I guess it depends on the franchisee. Wherever there is Denny's there is often a La Quinta Inn as they had a co-location strategy which tells you a lot about the brand itself. I think 6/10 is a fair score. Personally, I prefer independent diners in the US; they tend to be better quality and better value. Next time in the US could you do a video on the Cheesecake Factory? Keep up the good work Lee and many congratulations on reaching the 100K subscribers milestone.
Went into a dennys in glasgow only to be told they were short staffed and there would be a wait for service!! took a look around the restaurant only 2 other customers in so just walked back out and have never been back since, by the looks of it i made the right choice.
Reference the sausage. I walk my dog a little Pug every morning and it leaves a couple of those Sausages on the green which i always pick up in bags,these come in handy on cold mornings when i put them in my pocket to keep my hands warm 😂😂😂😂. That was a typical American breakfast. Give me a good old English fry up any day 👍
Lee - your outtakes have made my Friday night! Absolutely hilarious. Keep up the good work sir.
Lol. 😂 Thank you
Hey Lee! See you had more chipolatas on your plate again. But they were even smaller than the IHOP ones. Hash browns looked extremely dry and were pieces of shredded raw potato to me. Eggs and Bacon plus pancakes looked okay. If they are the same chain you must know what to expect. See you had to drench your pancakes in syrup again. Very much a sugar rush. Hope you have your coat at the ready for New York and safe travels back ✈️ Take Care 😘👍🏻
Stayed next door to the guy who owned Denny's many years ago in a condo in Cancun when on holiday and he was really quiet but his wife was lovely and chatted away but the Lumberjack Slam was enormous back then and looks pretty poor now.
Bit like a Little Thief (chef) breakfast back in the day although their Olympic Breakfast was not too bad
As an American me and my family can agree we will never eat any Denny's or IHOP restaurant if it was the last place on earth
Sounds like you need to invest in a pair of zip off at the knee outdoor trousers/cargo's I always wear them for travel days and they are handy for nights in Orlando
Hashbrowns underdone. Ham rubbery. Those sausages make UK catering sausages look good. Eggs too underdone for me, but each to his own. A 5 from me for that standard of food. Have a safe flight back to NYC Lee.
It needs some beans or sauce , that was one thing I always say as a chef
In the uk you can always tell a low quality breakfast if you see a brakes lorry outside
In New York it would be interesting to go to delmincos , the home of the baked Alaska
. I know Heston looked for his perfect burger round New York
We went to that Denny's once, tried Perkins and now always go there for a decent breakfast. Wouldn't go back to Denny's in Orlando
I've very good memories of Breakfast at Dennys in Orlando although it was 24 years ago I really enjoyed it. To be honest most places are running on higher costs cheaper food suppliers which leads to an eating experience below par..
Lee my fiend , you have saved me a load of money , because on these last few showings I’m never ever going to the USA . Is it possible to get a good feed at a decent price ?. It’s either overpriced shite or just overpriced in general . Can’t see the attraction of the place . By the way , there will be a lot of Camp Coffee drank in Sydney this weekend , it’s the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras after all . I’ll give that tucker a 3/10 and that’s generous .
Dennys has always been awful
30 40 and even 20 years ago it wasn't that bad at least the ones we ate at, today I drive past them all the time, for a few dollars more you can do much better.
It looks like one of those plastic play set breakfasts you buy the kids for Xmas that comes with the little toy kitchen 😂
I agree,never see what the big attraction is to go for a Denny's breakfast,I think it's rubbish.
Oh my goodness that looks terrible!
Hahahahahahahahaha OMG still laughing. You hit this one outta the park. Thanks!
Never , ever complain again about your beans touching your egg after eating in America 🤣
I go to Italy and feel justification in slating British cuisine as they're worlds apart but the food you've eaten in this series has had me in stitches mate.
The food looked pretty bad I think the only good thing about the breakfast was the maple syrup. 😂 Although the eggs looked nice. You get what you pay for I guess. Wow expensive for a breakfast.
Excess pancake baggage ...Will the NY flight get airbourne? See next episode! Thanks.
Give me a double bacon n egg McMuffin any other day , that breakfast looked horrific
Charge it back Lee, naughty holiday Inn. That's Typical Denny's food we used to go in there before we hit the parks, menus are always massive. Camp coffee, careful, I do remember that tasted awful. Onwards
Lee, when you said ‘I’ll eat this and come back to you,’ I thought it sounded a bit ominous. It’s a bit disappointing that considering that the US has a history of diner food, it appears to be a bit of a minefield as to the food being any good. By comparison, even the cheaper sausages and bacon here in the UK are a big step up to what you’ve had in the US.
A menu with pictures dictates the fact that the food ‘ain’t all that’ - as we are both graphic designers and the same age - we both know that.
The eggs looked okay - the rest awful - 2/10
That breakfast didn't look great. A tiny sausage, the hash browns were a strange colour and even the toast didn't look appetising. A 6 seemed very generous, a 5 at best I would say
I had the exact same issue with Holiday Inn in Downtown San Antonio, TX. They took 4 payments from me. Said it was a "Glitch".
Hey Lee, remember Camp Coffee? I still buy it from Tescos, it’s the quickest & best way to make iced coffee! ✅
haha i was just going to say , i purchase this for my elderly father :)
Plastic breakfast, Just returned from a trip to Ecuador South America - all breakfast includes fresh fruit and fresh squeezed juice and probably costs less than $10 with eggs, plaintains, bread. You need to do a trip to Latin America and review the great sights and foods.
Thanks for the vlog lee love watching them.keep up the good work.
Shouldn't of gave score 6 and then said and that was being generous. As you are meant to be honest so what was the score really??
Minus the service. I hate to say. I think I'd got sun stroke that day. Avoid!
@@TheMacMaster That is more like it, and you got sun stroke that day as well that is rather annoying!
When you back in the UK mate?
Back next week. :0)
@@TheMacMaster Got to have you back in the UK Lee. And the next Wimpy Location?? :-)
You've got your jeans on, you've got your old blue jeans on... now why did David Dundas's old '70's hit spring to mind? Get back to Blighty ASAP for a real poodles! Cheers Lee, but I'm not tempted by the US version of food, and as for 'camp' coffee, can you get away with using that term now? :#
iHop over Denny's, I go to the same one in North Miami every year. It maybe a case of location and quality but I'd give the iHop that I'm a return visitor to a strong 8/10. The unlimited refill filter Coffee is a nice touch too.
Those sausages looked like a dogs 💄
You need zip off/on trousers for travelling for the first and last days 😉 Game changer! America's Diner haha, a bold claim lol!! Uh oh, pictures on the menu! Gordon won't be happy! I'm sure there are some menu hacks there somewhere lol!! What's dinner bread with the country steak and others?! Is that a biscuit?! I love that in America's Diner you can add fries or onions for 99c, but a salad is added at $3.49 😆
Looks good ham/gammon! Sausages look like the cheapest cruise buffet ones you can get lol!! Is the potato cooked enough in the hash?! Looks a bit raw?! IT'S NOT CHEAP TOAST! It's ARTISAN bread! 😆 Gosh, the bacon looks like it's hanging on by a thread of life 🫤 How can they call them link sausages 🥹 The ham/gammon looks the best thing for me. I don't like USA pancakes so can't comment on them, they really put me off lol.
When you say the hash wasn't as good, do you mean not as cooked?! Haha!!! Yeh not as grilled lol! I can't go very high on that as it really, nearly all failed! I'd go like 4........ .2..... maybe, but it was pricey, so maybe a 3.9?! I saw your Facebook post where you said it was rated too high, and yeh, a 6 was TOO high!!
Its almost 10 years since I was last in florida, Dennys wasn't great then, on my return home a friend said I should have tried Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Don't know if its much better as I haven't been back to try it.
Went to Denny's outside the Stratosphere hotel in Vegas in 2017 the building was way past its sell by date but the food and service was good. Found all American food sloppy but loved the ribs in the shopping area opposite the Pawn stars shop talked with the chef cool man.
That Denny’s was my first impression of American food- my old man had told me I’d LOVE American food as it was cheap plentiful and amazing, well maybe in the 60s, but in the 2000’s…I wasn’t too impressed let’s say….but still not as bad as Perkins across and down the road….🤢
What no mushrooms black pudding or tomatoes no beens give it a 4
Hi Lee, maybe you could try the Denny’s in Swansea, see how it compares
Hi Lee A nice place to try in NewYork is Tea and Sympathy a nice good old fashion English restaurant
Sausages smaller than Lee’s fingers, and he doesn't even have 'sausage fingers' 😂😂
I know what you mean about different Dennys. We went to one in Vancouver last year, we usually love Dennys been loads of time, this one was hard to find and when we did find it there was a psychotic homeless person refusing to come out of the toilet but it didn't seem to bother the staff and my wife got food poisoning from the chicken! We then went to a Dennys in anaheim a totally different experience
cmon dude, its marketing gone mad. The sausage links looks like you are about get DP'd....Nar mate, move on. My ideal breakfast is Smoked Haddock, Sauted Kidneys, Scrambled eggs, and smoked bacon. I lived in the Castle Hotel for a year, longest staying resident to this day and that was my cooked breakfast most mornings thst i chose those years ago. Gary Rhodes has cooked my diner, and then onto Phil Vickery both TV chefs. I was stood in the Castle hotel holding a beer in my hand as the news came out that Phil Vickery had just been sacked by the owner Chapman...because he called in sick....but the problem was he was live on TV on BBC1 sitting next to his wife Fern Brittain....lolz...i asked Chapman that was standing next to me who is going to cook my dinner?, he growled and walked off...the year of our lord 2003...maybe 2002...too many beers. I love that memory.
The decor looked from the 1960s!!
I've got a challenge for you Mr Macmaster sir. I challenge you to make a video where you make your own full english breakfast at home and let the viewers rate it out of 10 on appearance 😁.
I rate it a 0
@@TheMacMaster Hahaaa well that would make it a hilarious video 🤣
Rest assured the Denny's I used in Page Arizona a while ago was just as bad as your experience. Plastic picture menus are always a bad sign.
Weird thing is I always order the same few things at Denny’s… but the coffee,is 😘😋😊
The further in the video I go the more I feel I wouldn’t of paid for that 🤮
About 20 years ago I used to love Dennys Slam Breakfast.
Oh lord those sausages are very strange. Can’t beat a great British banger.
British sausages are decent, but Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic are the best sausages in the world
Most chains cater for masses with little aptitude for taste or sense of quality.
I'd stick to local/family/independents if possible, chains are just a quick convenience stop gap in my opinion.
Didn't look good Lee to be fair
25 Years since I went to Denys, could have been that one if it was on International Drive, it was crap then and it still looks crap now. Some things never change.
Dennys makes IHOP Look like the Savoy
Lee, we're hitting the States soon, just interested what percentage you give as a tip in such as Denny's and then in lets say a decent steak restaurant or do you stick to the same percent roughly wherever . as the meal price creates the amount? cheers.
Hi. Have a great time. I always tip 20%. If its exceptional then 25%.
I've watched all your vids in the US and the food seems very hot and miss and also on the expensive side and the quality seems to have gone down hill since I visited the States nearly 20 years ago,back then it was cheap, plentiful and better quality.
