The new He-Man movie, "Masters of the Universe," is set to be released on June 5th and Denny’s is celebrating with a new Masters of the Universe-themed menu.
Perfect for superhero fans, the new Masters of the Universe-themed menu has something for everyone. For burger lovers, there's a new He‑Man Battle Burger, which consists of a flame‑grilled beef patty topped with slow-cooked shredded beef, bacon, smoky barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles on a toasted bun. For those with a sweet tooth, there's the Jr. Grayskull’s Epic Cracklecakes dish, which consists of three silver‑dollar pancakes topped with vanilla ice cream and green popping candy. For those who want both savory and sweet, there's the Eternia’s Premium Breakfast Slam, which features three pancakes topped with mint chocolate chip ice cream, all paired with eggs, hash browns, and your choice of bacon or sausage. There's also a new Skeletor’s Dark Shakeverse drink made from a creamy blend of strawberry ice cream and blueberries.
