Review: Denny’s Plant Based Pancake Slam

Far surpassing my expectations.

The low contrast menu photo didn’t promise much. Faded photograph pancakes couldn’t taste very good, could they? Could flaxseed pancakes with cinnamon taste homey?

The pancakes were, “I’ll be back for more.” The cinnamon is so good, the fruit atop you can add from the platter just right. The pancakes without syrup could be from any high end restaurant with the right spin. At home with my carry out, I added a special gourmet cherry pecan syrup for a kick. I felt like someone whipped this up for me on call.

Introduced in early 2025, one year and a half later, I’m rediscovering Denny’s. As a kid, it was where I didn’t know what to do with the ordering around the bacon and sausage problem. Got myself basics: the burger and fries when I ate beef, or eggs. My great aunt always said/says eggs are safe. She is the guru on all things nutritional and approved.

When I quit meat, the sausage and bacon thing was around. For people who eat eggs, Denny’s presently solved that problem with a two eggs breakfast, so their vegan pals or mostly vegan can eat with them, and the meat eaters are happy. It took a while, me asking corporate I feel some ages ago woth all of you, my “egging on” ;) Denny’s in person why they didn’t have an eggless slam. As I got my meat free burger and fries, classic.

It’s here. 🤤😋🙀❤️

Forgot to photograph it with all the fun eating it. Will try next time, or videoing it.

Thank you, Denny’s, it’s never too late!
