I put this guide together for parents who want a quick look at the Denny’s Kids Menu before heading out. It covers breakfast favorites like pancakes and the Jr. Grand Slam, plus kid-friendly lunch and dinner choices such as chicken tenders, cheeseburgers, and mac and cheese, subject to current availability. Prices, portions, and calories can vary by location, so I have added tips for checking details locally.Denny’s Desserts The Ultimate Menu Guide 2026

Denny’s Kids Breakfast Menu
Breakfast options for kids include the Jr. Grand Slam at 340 calories, Jr. Chocolate Chip Pancakes at 220, Jr. Birthday Cake Pancakes at 330, and the Jr. Waffle Slam at 450. These numbers come from Denny’s official nutrition guide and do not include the egg, meat, or side you add. I check portions and sides before ordering.
Denny’s Kids Lunch and Dinner
For lunch and dinner, I look at the Jr. Premium Chicken Tenders at 270 calories, the Jr. Cheeseburger at 470, Jr. Mac & Cheese at 300, and Jr. Spaghetti at 250. Most of these are listed before the side or dipping sauce, so the final total will be higher. Availability can differ, so I confirm with my local restaurant.
Denny’s Kids Menu Calories and Nutrition
Calories depend on portion size, ingredients, toppings, and the sides you choose. The figures below come from Denny’s October 2025 Nutrition Guide, which is an estimate and can vary by serving. A meal being on the kids’ menu does not automatically make it a healthy choice, so I look at the full plate, including the drink.
| Meal Category | Calories |
|---|---|
| Kids Pancakes (3) | 220 to 330 |
| Jr. Waffle Slam | 450 |
| Jr. Grand Slam (before egg choice) | 340 |
| Jr. Grand Slam with egg whites, turkey bacon, hash browns & apple juice | 330 |
| Jr. Grand Slam with scrambled egg, turkey bacon, grapes & apple juice | 380 |
| Jr. Premium Chicken Tenders (2) | 270 |
| Jr. Cheeseburger | 470 |
| Jr. Mac & Cheese | 300 |
| Jr. Spaghetti | 250 |
| Wavy-Cut Fries (5 oz, regular menu side) | 400 |
| Kids’ Orange Juice (10 oz) | 140 |
For children ages 4 to 8, Denny’s guide notes that general advice is 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day, and 1,400 to 2,000 for ages 9 to 13, though needs vary. If your child has food allergies, please check Denny’s official allergen guide before ordering.
Denny’s Kids Menu Drinks and Sides
Kids’ drinks include 2% milk at 150 calories, chocolate milk at 190, orange juice and apple juice at 140 each, and lemonade at 100 for 8 oz. Sides like grapes at 60 calories, banana slices at 110, and broccoli at 35 are lighter add-ons. Swapping a side or drink changes both price and calories.
