The diner is iconic, and so is its menu. It's full of popular items, particularly for breakfast, but none are quite as popular as its Slams. A tribute to the legendary home-run-hitting baseball player Hank Aaron, Denny's created its very first Original Grand Slam in 1977. Mimicking the four bases in baseball, it came with four items, including pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage.

The Denny's located at 1000 W. Steele Lane at Santa Rosa's Coddingtown Mall announced its permanent closure in a short memo posted on its storefront window. The Press Democrat reported that the goodbye message directed customers to visit a nearby Denny's on Baker Avenue, which remains open.

Denny's has quietly closed its Coddingtown Mall location on West Steele Lane in Santa Rosa amid the sale of the 71-year-old chain to private investors. With the future of its remaining North Bay locations uncertain, the Coddingtown location closure leaves Santa Rosa with one operating Denny's on Baker Avenue, while Petaluma's Denny's on Petaluma Boulevard also remains open. The Denny's restaurant at 105 Pomeroy St. in Ukiah closed in 2023 and is slated to become a Habit Burger & Grill.

When NFL coaches started holding up laminated menus to hide their play-calling, nobody expected it to become the internet's favorite football meme. But this fall, one unlikely object has completely taken over football culture: the humble laminated menu. And now, Denny's is turning this viral moment into marketing gold with a campaign that's as brilliant as it is absurd. From Playbooks to Pop Culture: How Laminated Menus Became Football's Hottest Accessory The phenomenon started innocuously enough.

I planned my work. I was organized. I was mise en place. I washed the living daylights out of those dishes.

Denny's has served as the backdrop for some of the most iconic on-screen moments in cinematic history, including scenes in "Pulp Fiction" and "Mulholland Drive."
