Middle Earth-Inspired Menus

Denny’s Hobbit Menu is Delicious and Creative

Have a feast fit for hobbits with the new Denny’s Hobbit menu. Giving 'The Hobbit' fans something to get excited about until the finale comes out, Denny's has once again created a menu taken right out of Middle Earth.

This is the second year Denny's themes its menu to match food the characters from 'The Hobbit' would love to gobble up. The 'Desolation of Smaug' menu is proving to be just as popular as last year's Denny’s Hobbit menu.

The new menu includes seven Hobbit-inspired dishes and creations like Smaug’s Fire Burger. You can also 'Build Your Own Hobbit Slam' from options like the Honey Cake French Toast, Sweet Potato Pecan Pancakes and a Hearty Breakfast Sausage.

“We’re thrilled to bring the taste of Middle-earth back to America’s Diner. This year we’re elevating the experience with the introduction of adventurous new flavors, exciting exclusive content and once-in-a-lifetime prizes, taking our guests on a truly authentic dining journey,” says Denny’s vice president of marketing John Dillon.
