As many of you probably saw during the Super Bowl last night, for the second year in a row there will be free Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast on Tuesday, February 9 from 6am to 2pm. It was an absolute madhouse last year (my local Denny's actually burnt down that night), but maybe they learned from the experience and this year will run more smoothly.
Also, I'd like to offer some free, unsolicited advice to Denny's. If you plan on running this promotion next year, leave the screaming chickens commercials on the cutting room floor.

February 8, 2010 at 03:11 pmOh my gosh, I was so late for work last year, and I got there at 6:00 AM. Maybe I’ll go at 5:30 tomorrow..

February 8, 2010 at 03:54 pmIt’s so nice of Denny’s to do this again!!! It must have really paid off for them last year. And yeah, I liked Nannerpuss a lot more, but the “Great Day to be an American, Bad Day to be a Chicken” was cute too.

February 8, 2010 at 04:54 pmThis is great, the only problem for me is most of all the Denny’s I knew of have closed down, I shall search on there website and to see if there are any others close to me.
Thanks for posting this!

February 8, 2010 at 07:55 pmThe next sound of screaming will be the employees who have to work on that day. What a cruel promo to do to your staff. Last year one restaurant ran out of eggs and it was on the news like “Breaking News,” and people were angry-just like the KFC free chicken promo (chill out!). I love freebies too, but just like Black Friday, I avoid crazed crowds looking for deals so I can make my own eggs and pancakes in my pjs at home, cheap, if not exactly free.
I loved the chickens playing pool in the commercial.

February 8, 2010 at 10:30 pmWe drove by our Denny’s last year during this event and OMG. I couldn’t believe the line around the building…..
I live just outside of Daytona Beach, FL and this just so happens to be speed week, before the Daytona 500, so there are MASSIVE amounts of tourists here anyway, and Denny’s is packed without this freebie..
I think i’ll pass on this one, but good for them for doing it again!

February 8, 2010 at 11:17 pmI just can’t do this after watching those commercials….they were soooo disturbing! YUCK! lol

February 9, 2010 at 10:03 amI passed by 2 Denny’s while going to work and the parking lot was full.
Fox News “Fox n Friends” had a reporter at one of Denny’s restaurant and they reported few unemployed folks at the restaurant.
Good to see that Denny’s is able to give a warm meal to people who doesn’t have a job.
Cheers

February 9, 2010 at 10:45 amI think they should just pass out a coupon or do something on their web site, we have one Denny’s in the whole city of Buffalo and it’s right on the bus line too, last year it was chaos, they need a better plan!

February 9, 2010 at 01:48 pmIt was delicious!! I went about 10 am and sign in for a 1 1/2 hr waiting list. So, I left and return in about 40 min and my name was already called, they right away give us the next table available. The service was very prompt and excellent. As usual they are always very cheap persons most of them with kids which were complaining because drink was not included and the ordered water with a lotttt of lemon and sugar, to make them selfves a lemonade, and other dump girl sreaming because got one bacon piece instead two. Other woman asking for crayons when is so crowld and busy. What are they thinking?? that was a all inclusive entertainment event. I cannot wait until next year to get another Slam!!

February 9, 2010 at 02:34 pmMAYBE SOME ONE SHOULD TELL THE CHEAP-O’S THAT ARE COMING FOR FREE FOOD THET SERVERS IN TEXAS STILL ONLY MAKE 2 BUCKS AN HOUR
“LEAVE A FREAKIN TIP” OR STAY AT HOME AND MAKE YOUR SELF MISERABLE
INSTEAD OF THE SERVERS AT DENNYS
Linda says
February 9, 2010 at 03:05 pmI didn’t need to go today because they brought back the free slam on your birthday and I will go on Friday because that is when mine is.
Randy says
February 11, 2010 at 12:02 pmThere are two different Denny’s in San Francisco, the breakfast line was about 25 minutes, the lunch line about 10 minutes. Being unemployed, I greatly appreciated two filling hot meals. And yes, tip was left both times!
