This page gathers the published figures for 233 items on the Denny's menu in one place: calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat, with fiber and sodium where the chain reports them. Every table is sorted so the lightest options surface first.

The lightest order listed is the Grapes at 60 calories. The strongest protein-to-calorie ratio belongs to the Grilled Chicken: 29 g of protein in 200 calories. 73 of the 140 food orders on the Denny's menu (drinks and add-ons aside) come in under 500 calories.

About this data

Most figures on this page (223 of 233 items) are the values recorded for Denny's in the 2022 edition of MenuStat, a public archive of chain-restaurant nutrition disclosures, and may have been revised by the restaurant since; the remaining 10 come from the chain's current published nutrition information, as compiled in the Cindar restaurant database.

Data version 2026.05.1+ms2022-r5+official-1627oyq+c1+s3, retrieved September 6, 2026. Recipes, portion sizes and regional menus change; the restaurant's own current publication controls where the two differ. Figures are provided for general information and are not medical or dietary advice.

Denny's and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners. Cindar and Hestia Studios are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Denny's; the name appears here only to identify the restaurant these figures describe.
