Denny's/Denny's Classic Diner

Various locations
Though things haven't been the same since they discontinued the free birthday meal for adults (kids 10 and under are still eligible), Denny's still packs in the late-night crowd. At $2.99 (more during the wee hours), the Grand Slam Breakfast with two eggs, two pancakes, bacon, and sausage is almost a bargain of Las Vegas proportions. The Moons Over My Hammy ham-and-egg sandwich is worth ordering just for the pleasure of saying it. Denny's lunch/dinner menu includes burgers, sandwiches, steaks, and a decadent fried appetizer basket that includes onion rings, chicken strips, and cheese sticks with marinara dipping sauce.
