Just in time for the Fourth of July, Denny's has debuted its new America's Diner Cheeseburger and a trio of Premium Craft Pancakes. While the burger sticks to classic flavors, the pancakes demonstrate the chain's willingness to go beyond traditional diner fare.

In terms of the new America's Diner Cheeseburger, it seems that Denny's is keeping things simple with a 100% beef burger patty topped with caramelized onions, American cheese, and a new All-American sauce. 'America's Diner' is already Denny's classic tagline, making the new burger a fitting menu addition.

Of course, the chain is also known for breakfast, which is why customers are sure to enjoy the new Premium Craft Pancakes. Available in Strawberry Citrus, Tres Leches, and Dulce de Leche Crunch flavors, the new flapjacks cater to those who prefer to start the day with something sweet.
