I used to frequent a Denny's near me. For breakfast only though. This Denny's had 3 career waitresses that knew how to be a waitress. They all worked the breakfast hours. When dining alone, I would take a seat at the counter. Quickly asked for a beverage order and do I know what I want or need a minute to look over the menu. Once my order was in, it was quickly prepared and brought to me. I never was disappointed with my food. Service was top notch. I would not call Denny's cheap eats, but certainly a good value for the food and service. Using frozen potatoes for hash browns is nothing new in the restaurant industry. As you pointed out, it is very labor intensive to make shredded hash from fresh potatoes. I have tried to make them at home. They do not come out right for me. The shredding is easy enough. But the squeezing, browning of the taters are challenges that I can't seem to over come. If I want shredded hash, I get a bag of Mr. Dell's shredded. Usually though, I decide on diced hash browns which are much easier to prepare at home. I wish this channel would stop with the false titles. Denny's is not cheap. It is not out of line compared to other similar places though. A full breakfast of 2 eggs, 2 bacon, hash and toast is going to cost $10.00 or so, plus beverage, tax and tip. $15.00 or so total. Not cheap to me. I just looked at their website for the location near me. No breakfast under $11.00. Though you get a bit more than what I described as a full breakfast.
You're dumb Denny's is cheap low quality microwaved food served not hot but always luke warm id rather eat at Wendy's than nasty ass Denny's and fake microwaved food
When was the last time you've been to Denny's? 1997? Denny's is not cheap anymore unless you get one of their very few specials on the menu. A grand slam costs almost $14 now. Pack on $.350 for coffee (that probably won't get refilled) and tip and you've spent over $20 for breakfast
Here's the truth about all this on this( I've worked and cooked in restaurants bars pubs diners nursing homes hospitals and including Denny's ) every one of them has access to the same amount of fresh ingredients and shelf-stable ingredients weather for emergencies in case they run out on the fly or in case of power failure. The only constant fresh ingredients that any establishment will be able to maintain will always be the big ticket items that sell everyday all day basically no matter what but other items that sell here in there with constant staff shortages based upon people showing up late all the time not having enough people there not having enough people doing the work prepping up all that stuff from scratch fresh everyday is not easy work.😓
So that's why it looks like Augason farms or backpacker dried food? I have seen potatoes soaking at Waffle House , and I wouldn't be surprised if they kept powdered eggs for emergencies.
Thank you for a great show! I have noticed that ALL of the foods (even bacon) can be purchased in a survival dried meal bucket or even at the grocery store, and I could make this at home for $1 per plate!
I just went to Denny’s with 2 friends and we shared an appetizer then got 3 standard plates. The bill came out to a little over 80$. Never in my life did expect Dennys to become this expensive. Funny part is we chose them because we expected a decently priced meal but when each plate is almost 20$ or more it’s become a spot we only plan on eating out at if were celebrating something 😂
@9:02 "Average wage for ALL U.S. citizens, which clocks in at nearly $30/hour"? Average. For. All?!?! Makes me question if I'm living in the same U.S. of A. the narrator's referring to.
I just paid $8 for 16 oz of maple syrup. And it's not even the premium maple syrup it's like the third best. But I wanted to treat myself to some homemade pancakes with maple syrup so I had to break the bank and buy.
Why do you always show 20 year old prices on these videos? The American Slam in 2022 in my area is $14! So like other of these "...so cheap." videos, they're NOT so cheap.
What you mashed people are missing, the reason most restaurants use premade are mixed is try and train your new employee on how to make anything from scratch. Most of the restaurants you seem to want to shoot down are fast food and quick service places and not gourmet eating place just good decent food. Now let's turn the tables and review you guys with shock jock attitude to chain restaurants.
Most of the stuff they serve can be easily made at home. Eating out should be a treat for family and friends who visit for afar. Otherwise,cooking at home is best unless you are too lazy, busy at times and have family visiting.
First Watch DOES have real Maple Syrup. I have 2 bottles from them, that I fill with my own Maple Syrup, to take to other places. Real Maple syrup is a bit too thin for me. Amazon sells Maple Sugar, which is Maple Syrup, with ALL the water removed. I thicken mine up, with this sugar. Add a couple tablespoons to a quart of syrup, and heat it up. REAL Real Maple syrup. steve
If this narrator was trying to slam Denny's, I'd say it was a big fail. The pre-mixed items are just that, mixed ahead of time so they can be quickly presented to their hundreds of customers who can't afford to eat at the restaurants where chefs have to be paid a whole lot more than short-order cooks for taking the time to cut all the vegetables, etc.
I live in the Dayton, Ohio area and I haven’t been in at least ten years, they closed all in the area. The closest one is about an hour away and by the looks of the reviews of that Denny’s, I probably won’t stop in if I travel there.
I recently ate at the Oakland location, ordered crepe's the sugary goo in the middle was sickening and instead of fresh strawberries I got Frozen blueberries...OMG ! The berries were so chewey I couldnt finish.
The best thing with Denny's Canada is that they will give you the sugar free pancake Syrup if you ask for it. I am a diabetic so I need the stuff. Also I had a friend who was a server at Denny's for over 30 years and made enough money to buy a condo in Vancouver BC, (one of the most expensive places to live in the world) before he passed from cancer. The best things they have are the Prime Rib Eggs Benedict and the grits, (instant Grits).
We have that option in the US too. I'm a sever and I like to memorize some of my frequent regular's orders. The Benny is pretty darn good. I'm sorry about your friend, but glad they had fulfillment in their job, and finances
None of this should be surprising. Alot of higher end places will do the same or similar practices across the board. The tone used in this video makes it seem like dennys is the only one doing these methods but that's just not the case at all.
Cheap? You obviously haven't gone to Denny's lately. I live in California, and the menu prices are high---that's is, if you're a working class American like myself. Some of the breakfast plates are $15. Add orange juice and a small tip: $20.
Jeez us! My brother sends me "real maple syrup" from New Hampshire and it tastes worse than the imitation stuff that is served at restaurants and sold in grocery stores.
The hash browns are the worst dried pieces of sh!@t that I have tasted. That's why I never have eaten there anymore for 30 years. Good hashbrowns are breakfast.
You let one bad experience with dried out potatoes affect you for over 30 years? Those potatoes probably sat on the grill too long. I've had good hash browns there and if they are dry, I politely ask for a replacement.
They closed 2 of the 3 Denny's in my city. I won't drive all the way across town for an overpriced meal with small portions. When you say they are cheap, I'm sure you meant quality, not price.
I've always enjoyed Dennys, but recently nit so much. Starting a few years ago I noticed that more and more Spanish was being spoken instead of English. I go to eat now and all I hear from all the waitresses & cooks is Spanish. Sad days for Anerica.
The last time I went to Denny's (over a decade ago) we had to wait 15 minutes for the waitress to come to our table in a near empty restaurant. We ordered and waited, after an hour and still no food we got up and left and haven't been back since
fake heavily processed food, i would rather eat nothing at all. a dozen eggs is like $3 and it takes 3 minutes to cook eggs. why pay ten times that much for fake shit that gives you the runs
Our local Denny's (Brooklyn IA) really needs some attention, it's basically a trucker trap in the middle of nowhere, the service is terrible, and to use the restroom, like to wash your hands from syrup, you have to go into the convenience store proper through doors to exit the store. Their Coronavirus measures when the state first enacted them, were blatant disregard of state order, back of the house visible maskless personnel through the pass through window. Usually you may order extra butter with your pancakes, by thevtime you get your butter add-on, your pancakes are cold and need to be remade. The staff is careless at speed to deliver from the ready window, even when there are more servers that seated tables. It's also likely Dennys doesn't offer a dental plan, like Waffle House, the servers could use one. My Dennys won't deliver 3.9 miles away although it's constantly sending free delivery emails. Who are they delivering to, the truck stops or the motel and that's it? When I lived in Kansas City area we had a few good Dennys and a few to stay away from, when visiting my mother, there was a Dennys but it closed, now it's more than 10 miles to one additional travel. In Iowa we don't have a lot of alternatives, IHOP near Iowa city, food was cold, so was the restaurant, server stayed invisible once the plate was served. Perkins was closed 2-3 years, but signs on billboards say late next month it will reopen. I checked the app for TV specials and email specials, nothing even similar, most items start at $10 or more for breakfast. I guess the AARP discount was too harsh on the books so they jacked up the price to absorb it, and it wasn't show your card, it was scanned for validity.

What do you think of the food from Denny's?
I love it for what it is; comfort food.
Denny's is a very good chain of restaurants that won't break the bank to eat their fine food. Get off there back.
@@trumanlewis8237 I think they showed a lot of appreciation for the workers and I like cheap restaurant food, not tryna argue with you.
@@angelahamon6730 I said there are a good place to go to, mashed ( the posted item) needs to get if there back, no argument here.
@@trumanlewis8237 yes . We all know this is not 5 stars . Its always safe and they are nice to veterans.
You don't go to Denny's for a gourmet meal! Anybody who goes there knows that walking in the door!🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣

Who expected real maple syrup at Dennie’s?
I know 😏
Tbh HFCS flavored like maple or fruit syrup is not the same but close enough.
Almost nobody expected real maple syrup from Denny's.
I’m from Vermont. I don’t do that fake syrup crap. The real deal is where it’s at here in the green north
I’m sorry but $60 for two person breakfast IS NOT cheap by any definition
Should be $20 plus drinks and tax and tip, maybe $30 for two.
What on earth did you order for that amount of money. Must have been starving 🤣🤣🤣 most people wud get a meal for half that there !!
Exactly. I was thinking Denny's food cheap? Maybe 20 years ago.

With all these flaws I never had a issue with Dennys I love them delicious and affordable any time of the day.

You obviously have low standards. Denny's food is garbage
Me, I love re-hydrated hashbrowns. I guess it goes back to my days in the US Coast Guard.

Who honestly thought that Denny’s made anything from scratch if you did look me up because I have some great wetlands to sell you in Arizona
Hehe ive been looking on the market for some wetland property. I’m sure Arizona is a great place to look😀
I was a Denny's manager about 80% was prepackaged items served to keep cost down
Costs aren't down anymore though. $13 for moons over my Hammy isn't cheap. Cheap food at expensive price.
Thank you for a great show! I have noticed that ALL of the foods (even bacon) can be purchased in a survival dried meal bucket or even at the grocery store, and I could make this at home for $1 per plate!
Denny’s is the perfect place to go for a hangover. It’s our go to.

I can confirm this , I’m a server at Dennys
The food is junk.
C'mon it's Denny's. Your food is going to be 42% oil 26% salt and 32% food. I don't expect a gourmet meal there.

What makes you think it was a slam? It's just a video on why it's cheap.
I am Amazed😮
dennys is not cheap
I loved Denny's in Illinois
I now live in the outskirts of Omaha Nebraska. And I would love them to put a Denny's here.

amazing !
Is not cheap anymore!
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP, DENNY'S?!
I recently ate at the Oakland location, ordered crepe's the sugary goo in the middle was sickening and instead of fresh strawberries I got Frozen blueberries...OMG ! The berries were so chewey I couldnt finish.
I'd hardly call their food cheap, but in comparison to some other chains they are lower priced.

Instead of hash browns I always preferred red potatoes
Yes and if we gave maple to every single person that ever wanted it there would be none left so people wouldn't even know what it tastes like anyway
Jeez us! My brother sends me "real maple syrup" from New Hampshire and it tastes worse than the imitation stuff that is served at restaurants and sold in grocery stores.
It's probably the same slop with more gmos and less sugar. There is no way you are really squeezing ounces of maple from a tree
