A Denny’s breakfast platter has apparently become extremely expensive amid choking inflation and labor costs.
A post on Reddit shows an image of the restaurant’s menu where the price of the Lumberjack Slam sits at $17.99, the New York Post reported on Friday, noting that a decade ago, the meal cost around $5.99: Click here to see the post.
“The hefty price tag doesn’t include the premium option of upgrading the pancakes to double berry banana, cinnamon roll, or ‘choconana’ for an extra $3.09, which would bring the pre-tax, pre-tip total to $21.08,” the Post article said, noting the location of that particular restaurant was unknown.

If you stay away from the processed food for a year or so, your body gets used to the real/natural diet and does not tolerate the chemical-laced stuff well at all. Years ago my hubby and I were on vaca, and had been on the road since early AM with no food. In a hurry to get to Taos NM by check-in time at our hotel, we drove through a Mc D’s and got burgers and fries-and we were both feeling icky by the time we checked in to our room. that was the last time I stopped anywhere for fast food...
The only burger place in this rural area where I live is a small locally owned restaurant and bar-fresh made burgers with grass fed beef, salad and local fresh veggies, etc. If you want fast food there is Dairy Queen in the nearest town-population less than 900 and 20 miles away. No McD’s for 30 miles and in the next county...
“We just quit going to restaurants. No way I’m paying those bull s**t prices.”
totally ... we still takeout Wendy’s family sized chili bucket occasionally, and we sometimes pickup from a local oriental restaurant that has an amazing fresh sashimi dinner platter with soup and salad for two for $40 ...
Eliminated lots of fats and carbs.
The 90’s were a great time for America. 1.20 a gallon for gas. Rents and buying a house affordable. Buying a car was definitely manageable.
I do not remember it being anywhere near that cheap even in 1984 which was 10 years earlier.
if it had been I would have eaten a lot of them.
How fun would it be to print up a bunch of these and tape them on the front window of every Denny’s on April 1st ?
Different areas charged different prices.........maybe you were in a high rent district?
I won’t pay a tip now that the servers are making $17-$18 here. Won’t even consider it. They can pay me a tip for coming in.
The original poster, who didn’t mention the state in which the Denny’s he ate at was located, said the total bill for himself, his wife and his daughter — “3 meals and 2 coffees plus 20% tip” — came out to $78.
I heard somewhere that nobody ever leaves the house to go to Denny’s, you just sort of end up there.
The last time I had a regular grand slam it was $2.99.
Interestingly, a really good lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant in my town cost $6. But I always give my two dollar tip. And to be fair, dinner is $3 more.
And this place isn’t my favorite because of price. It’s my favorite because of quality. Fact is you can live like you’ve expatriated even though you haven’t, in many parts of the country
To be fair, it’s important to note that it’s not that the meals are expensive. Rather, it’s a dollar you’re using to buy them are so worthless.
I never thought of it that way, but it’s true!
yes.
i find, too, that i feel better when i cut down on processed foods in general... and reduce meat consumption.
i am tempted to adopt the Adventist Diet (ascertained by USA DOH to add 10 years of life). and it makes sense too. and i have known several people on it. the youngest of which is now 84 and one passed away at 104
however i don’t quite have the discipline, alas.
so i do occasionally eat stuff that I know is not good for health.
$9.99 for huevos rancheros at Filibertos.
I still go. Just not nearly as often as before and have a few favorites. One local Italian place I know I can get Chicken Parm and pasta for like $19 with a salad and dinner rolls and have enough for a to-go box almost good for a 2nd meal.
I can get a sausage McMuffin and a senior citizen coffee for $2.89 in Anderson.
It’s $3.11 in Greenfield.
