My grandma was a waitress at Denny's in Wichita for many years. She once talked a robber out of the burglary while it was happening. The cook later made the man return after he'd served his sentence to meet her and apologize. She was such a personality, and I miss her dearly.
@@jasonberry1307 I mean, how much are you exactly "meeting" someone during a robbery? "Hey, my name's Jeff, now give me all your monies"...lol but no, he came back in and met her in a not-as-stressful situation and sincerely apologized. He was having a rough patch in life and she understood and was happy he got things together.
Denny's is favorite breakfast chain. I have never had bad experience at one. They earned my loyalty when i was 18 and i was homeless, i coundt afford anything other than coffee and was there at 2am. One of the servers had a extra plate of pancakes and gave it to me. Been a loyal customer eversince.
Reminds me of a time I was wandering a new town looking for a Doobie for a few bucks that my mom gave me, I asked the first person I saw who happened to be in a similar situation to you, but close to a subway. He was chillin in the parking lot smoking a cigarette so I asked where to get pot. He said honestly he doesn't know and he's hitching his way somewhere and is just resting up, all sore and tired. He got some kinda loaded sub, combo and I didn't smoke a puff that weekend and I learned as a 14 year old what it meant to be a human being. Spent a few years homeless and always thought of him and wish everyday he does well. I hope you're the king of your jungle, my friend.
When I was 17, I worked at a movie theater. On weekends when we'd close, it would be like 2 in the morning, we would always go to Denny's to chill and have a dinner/breakfast together. Some of the best times ever.
I have cooked at many restaurants and Denny's was the busiest, most stressful kitchen that I ever worked in. The tickets just never stop and they were very corporate.
My friend Ed and I regularly went to Denny's in Beorne,Texas. Great cooks,great staff. My friend past away a few years ago. I don't go as often as I used to. Not the same without my friend.
It's been ages since I've lived near a Denny's but their Grand Slam was my favorite. When I'm on the road and need a place to eat, I always look for Denny's.
I'm from Costa Rica in central america, we have Denny's here and it will always have a special place in my heart, as it was the place where my parents and I would go religiously to have breakfast every birthday (it was our little birthday tradition). Even if they had to go to work that day or I had to go to school, we always made sure to make the time to go to Denny's for breakfast. One of my favorite memories with my mom and dad for sure
'The observation that “La Quinta is Spanish for ‘next to Denny’s'” is a joke made famous by the late comedian Mitch Hedberg. Last year, John Reiser, on his new jersey geographer blog, wrote up an analysis of this joke using data scraped from the respective websites of Denny’s (a diner chain) and La Quinta Inns and Suites (a hotel chain). We have used Reiser’s work as inspiration for developing a team-based homework assignment in both our undergraduate- and master’s-level statistical computing courses at Duke University.'
Our family still refers to them as Lenny's because of the ad campaign they ran in the 80s. It was soon after the famous "Where's the beef?" campaign, and Denny's replyed with an ad featuring three old ladies who kept calling the restaurant Lenny's.
Many years ago I had friends visiting from Canada when there wasn't any Denny's "north of the border." When I asked them where they wanted to eat, you guessed it-Denny's!
I worked my way through college by cooking for Denny's in the 70's. (For which I will always be grateful. They accommodated my schedule. Plus, I ate very well!) But short-order cooking is one of the most stressful jobs there is. I went into medicine and then business and even now, all these years later, when I'm under a lot of stress, my nightmares are about cooking at Denny's, always being rushed and always needing help. BTW, my paycheck stubs read "HAROLD BUTLER ENTERPRISES", not Denny's!
Alaskan here, We have gone from 6 24 hour diners to 1/2. I say this because we are down to one Village inn that is open from 9am to 7pm, and 1 dennys that is open drive through 24/7, and lobby open from 6am to 10pm. As a night owl who likes dine in, I feel like I cant go out to eat when I want to because these places arent open anymore(doesnt help that most have only upped starting wages to be competitive in the last 2 years)
All I remember about Denny's in history class was a picture of the Black waitstaff forced to huddle in the bathrooms to keep the look of the establishment, "clean." I forget what occasions they did this for and why.
I love Denny's. I wish there was one in the town I live. The only one in Nebraska that I know of is by Gretna, and that is about an hour's drive from where I live.
My local dennys closed down in 2022 and was instantly turned in to a bob evans that opened about 2 months later which is packed every day.... kinda crazy how just a name change and slightly diff menu can get people in the door.
My father's side of the family is from the LA area, and I remember going to Denny's when I was a kid in the 60's. It was my grandfather's favorite restaurant.
Denny's here in North Dakota tends to cater to the 'over 60' crowd, and there is nothing wrong with that. Every time I've been to any Denny's in North Dakota, it was with my elderly parents, or I've seen a table full of retired women out for their Book Club night at Denny's, or retired people out for their Friday dinner at Denny's. My Dad was tickled pink to get an additional 15 % discount at Denny's with his AARP card, as well.
In 2023, I was sad when my city’s Denny’s Restaurant closed.😢 They were my favorite “non-fast food “ chain restaurant. I loved their Grand Slams, sandwiches, and chicken- fried steak.
In May of 2004, a group of people I was part of went to a Denny's in the Philadelphia area for breakfast. A couple of people ordered Grand Slams but I didn't want that as I don't eat eggs. They gave it to me anyway, claiming they were doing us a favor as it'd be cheaper to get it that way. Ended up totally wasting the eggs, though.
I always liked Denny's. There's none around here, but whenever I'd travel with the family we'd always go to one wherever they were cause they were always open and we knew the food would be good. The one that used to be here probably shut down cause the night staff absolutely didn't care about customers at all. The one time I went, it took almost an hour to get an order of fries and the dude who ordered pancakes had several bites taken out of them before they were served. But yeah, it's nice when places are always open so you know any time you can't sleep and are hungry or just wanna be around people, there's a place you can go where you won't be alone.

All I know is that pancakes don't taste the same to me if I'm not within 40 square feet of a washed up stripper, an alcoholic who is convinced his reflection in the window is taunting him, or a waitress with teeth as misaligned as they are multicolored.
Always my parents weekly supper out place, in the 70's. When I worked swing shift, it was a stop for a like breakfast or coffee and BS with buddies. It was unfortunately closed, pre-pandemic. Possibly because it lost thru traffic because of a bypass, or maybe one of the corporate closures. I miss it. It was replace by a Jack In The Box.
When I lived in Fairbanks Alaska, I worked at the world's farthest north Dennys. It was a popular place. They had to start closing early on weekends, as the bar crowd, military on a night out, would riot and tear up the place. I love Dennys. Too bad everything is so expensive
Denny's got a special place in my heart, me and my best friends went to one at 3 in the morning when we were in our early 20's tripping balls on some L and our server was a cute slender blonde with long pronounced vampire canine teeth. When we left we saw a purple car with a license plate that said vampirella which I can only assume was hers. It was an awesome time, I ate a Dagwood.
Late 90s I'm around 10 years old and I seen my first ever grand slam commercial and my folks knew I wanted it so bad that they treated me to it on my birthday I loved it great memory and we never went to Dennys once b4 that commercial or once after my birthday lmao it was a great one and done sorta thing
I use to love Dennys, because the meals were affordable and the food was pretty good. Last year was the last time I go to one because the prices are too high and the portions are smaller. I’d rather pay the same at a better breakfast place. It’s a shame.
I went down to Denny's a few times during my March Break trips down to Niagara Falls in my Junior High days, the classic slam was always my favorite next to the classic burger combo. Thanks for uploading! (can we get a hint on the next video?)
5:54 Reminds me of our expedition-style trip to camp at the bottom of the Grand Canyon! There were actually a lot of people at the bottom, whole crowds of people!
Everyone slept on "gandalfs gobble melt" this is the only thing that I recreate EVERY year with thanksgiving leftovers. My family and friends claim my brilliancy for such a leftover item.... it is not mine. I purchase cranberry honey mustard from dietz and watzon. I have tried to purchase "stuffing inspired bread" during that time of year. I have tried multiple combinations to make the perfect "gandalfs gobble melt" no failures, but, not the same. FFS I have tried the stuffing in a waffle cooker. I have made so many combinations of this inspirational dish!
Denny's Japan serves a higher end and higher quality menu of items. It's like night and day difference. Definitely worth trying if you ever get a chance.
Never forget, in 2013 the band 'Live Without' gave us the Denny's Grand Slam from an abandoned Denny's in Dallas, TX. Singlehandedly saving music, breakfast food, and giving Al Bundy the strength to score 4 touchdowns. Winning the championship for Polk High.
As someone who once had a car problems at 5 am in the morning on a road trip. And end up in a middle of no where with a Danny's near by. My only high lighting of that trip. And the staff at that one was so nice the decors were old fashioned country live vibe. Good memories may they last forever !
Denny's' CEO is Kelli Valade, appointed in Jun 2022, has a tenure of 1.75 years. total yearly compensation is $3.43M, comprised of 13.6% salary and 86.4% bonuses, including company stock and options. directly owns 0.15% of the company's shares, worth $724.86K
When I worked in North Kansas City in the early 2000s, MO, the town had two Denny's, one a regular Denny's and about a mile away, a Denny's Diner.I don't know if they still do.
My hometown used to have 3 Denny's. Sadly, 2 of those have now closed within the last couple of years. There is still one open, so there's that. It was definitely a good place to go if one member of the group wants breakfast but not all od the.
my favorite part of Denny's history: when that awful remake of Fantastic Four came out in 2015, they did a partnership where they made a bacon cheeseburger named after The Thing. The Thing is canonically Jewish in the comics.
No, all of the Denny's here in the Colorado Springs area (as shown in the video) were operated by one guy that didn't pay his State and payroll taxes, so the Colorado IRS walked into them in the middle of dinner service and shut them all down, seizing them all. No warning, diners had to get their meals that they were eating to go and the employees were made to shut everything down, clock out and leave the premises. This was almost 10 years ago and had absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic, and they have yet to re open. One was demolished and now there's a car wash, another is sitting vacant, Bijou Dennys, the icon of our youth in the 70s and 80s, has been vandalized by vagrants and is boarded up and a fourth in Woodland Park was converted to another restaurant. Now, if I want my Super Bird fix, I have to go to Denver, some 65 miles away to the closest one.
generally satisfied by my Denny's dining experiences.....and they do seem to adapt to changes....for the future I think they will move from survival to thriving....likely over the next 3 to 5 years...just my thoughts....good video
Are all Denny's doing that weird influencer menu or is it just the one near me? I thought it was super odd but now that I know they've been struggling post-pandemic, it makes a lot of sense
I don't think I've eaten at a Denny's since the mid-1990s after the time it took 30 minutes for someone to take our order, and over an hour to get one refill on our drinks. And my party was four out of the six customers in the store at 3PM. There's a reason all three of their locations nearest me closed out and never re-opened.
I love Denny's. Sadly, not many in the SE states. Instead, we have Waffle Houses everywhere. No comparison. I worked for Denny's for a couple of years in my 20's and really liked working there. My older brother also worked for them, at a different location. They treated me well, as far as restaurants go. I wound up leaving under what I can say was my own major mistake but, in the end, it turned out well and I never held a grudge. I would go there any time if traveling. One thing I can say is Denny's promotes cleanliness and safety. Each location has a safety committee. One competitor I tend to avoid is IHOP. Worked at one for a few weeks. The kitchen was filthy. Couldn't stand it and left. The pay was also low and they ripped off the waitresses on tips. I feel a lot more comfortable at Denny's. Note you can usually see into a Denny's kitchen but not at IHOP. That alone is telling.

when that awful remake of Fantastic Four came out in 2015, they did a partnership where they made a bacon cheeseburger named after The Thing.
The Thing is canonically Jewish in the comics.
No, all of the Denny's here in the Colorado Springs area (as shown in the video) were operated by one guy that didn't pay his State and payroll taxes, so the Colorado IRS walked into them in the middle of dinner service and shut them all down, seizing them all. No warning, diners had to get their meals that they were eating to go and the employees were made to shut everything down, clock out and leave the premises. This was almost 10 years ago and had absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic, and they have yet to re open. One was demolished and now there's a car wash, another is sitting vacant, Bijou Dennys, the icon of our youth in the 70s and 80s, has been vandalized by vagrants and is boarded up and a fourth in Woodland Park was converted to another restaurant. Now, if I want my Super Bird fix, I have to go to Denver, some 65 miles away to the closest one.
I think it's time for Denny's to introduce donuts to its menu
generally satisfied by my Denny's dining experiences.....and they do seem to adapt to changes....for the future I think they will move from survival to thriving....likely over the next 3 to 5 years...just my thoughts....good video
nothing like going to 3 different Denny's on your birthday for free meals
Best breakfast place ever was Sambo’s.
I used to go to a place called Village Inn; have you any news on them?
my dad works @ Denny’s
Are all Denny's doing that weird influencer menu or is it just the one near me? I thought it was super odd but now that I know they've been struggling post-pandemic, it makes a lot of sense
I remember Coffee Dan's In the 1960's in Albuquerque, NM.
Honestly I feel like peoples refusal to return to 24 hour service after the pandemic is the worst long-term repercussion
This makes me an even bigger Denny's fan. None of my friends understand this.
Halway through this turned into an ad for Denny's.
Never been a huge fan of Denny's. The best local 24hr breakfast spot in Maryland is The Honey Bee. It's the best!
I don't think I've eaten at a Denny's since the mid-1990s after the time it took 30 minutes for someone to take our order, and over an hour to get one refill on our drinks. And my party was four out of the six customers in the store at 3PM. There's a reason all three of their locations nearest me closed out and never re-opened.
denny's never closes! and eating breakfast is good in there!
Moons over my hammy was always my favorite just because I liked saying it. 😅.
I've never gone to Denny's
Please do The History of IHOP
Village Inn as well
I think Dennys is way better.
I love Denny's. Sadly, not many in the SE states. Instead, we have Waffle Houses everywhere. No comparison.
I worked for Denny's for a couple of years in my 20's and really liked working there. My older brother also worked for them, at a different location. They treated me well, as far as restaurants go. I wound up leaving under what I can say was my own major mistake but, in the end, it turned out well and I never held a grudge. I would go there any time if traveling.
One thing I can say is Denny's promotes cleanliness and safety. Each location has a safety committee.
One competitor I tend to avoid is IHOP. Worked at one for a few weeks. The kitchen was filthy. Couldn't stand it and left. The pay was also low and they ripped off the waitresses on tips. I feel a lot more comfortable at Denny's. Note you can usually see into a Denny's kitchen but not at IHOP. That alone is telling.
