The Cinnamon Roll Pancake Slam is one of Denny’s most popular sweet breakfasts. It pairs warm cinnamon pancakes with a full diner plate, so you get dessert-like flavor and a hearty meal at the same time.
Each order has two buttermilk pancakes baked with a cinnamon crumb topping and drizzled with cream cheese icing. It is served with two eggs cooked your way, crispy hash browns, and your choice of bacon strips or sausage links.
The mix of sweet pancakes and savory sides is what makes this slam stand out from a plain pancake plate. It is rich, so it is more of a treat than an everyday breakfast.
Price and Menu
In the US, this slam costs around $12.49, though prices change by location and deal. If you only want the sweet part, a plain stack of cinnamon pancakes is cheaper. Below are the main related items and their typical prices.
| Menu Item | Description | Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Cinnamon Roll Pancake Slam® | 2 cinnamon pancakes, cream cheese icing, 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage | $12.49 |

Quick Facts
- Best for: Anyone who wants a sweet and savory breakfast in one plate.
- Calories: The full slam is high in calories (roughly 1,350–2,050 depending on your sides), so it is a filling, indulgent meal.
- Diet note: Contains dairy (icing and pancakes), so it is not dairy-free. There is no meat-free version of the full slam, but you can order a plain stack and skip the meat.
- Deals: Denny’s often runs value menus, so cheaper slams may appear for a limited time.
- Ordering: Dine in, pick up, or get delivery through the Denny’s app or delivery services.
Where to Get It
This dish is mainly a North American favorite. It is widely available across the US, where Denny’s runs more than 1,400 diners, and it is usually on the menu in Canada too, where the chain has around 70 locations and prices in Canadian dollars.
In the UK, Denny’s has only a tiny presence, and in Australia the chain closed years ago, so the slam is not sold there. Most US and Canadian diners are open 24/7, which makes this a popular late-night order too.
Author’s Take
In my opinion, the Cinnamon Roll Pancake Slam works best as a shared treat rather than a daily breakfast. It is sweet, rich, and very filling, so go in hungry.
If the icing feels like too much, ask for it on the side. Pairing it with black coffee also balances the sweetness nicely, and the savory eggs and bacon stop it from feeling like pure dessert.
