Trump: Inflation has been a ‘disaster in this country’<\/a><\/h2>\n

Former President Trump explains how decades-high inflation has ‘killed’ the middle class over the last three to four years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A Reddit user’s recent post about the cost of a Lumberjack Slam at Denny’s received shocked reactions from others at how quickly the prices at the breakfast chain have increased.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

User “Front_Usual_2884” posted a picture of a menu on the “r\/Inflation” subreddit July 3, showing the Lumberjack Slam<\/a> at one Denny’s location costs $17.99.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Lumberjack Slam comes with buttermilk pancakes, grilled ham, bacon strips, all-pork sausage links, two fresh eggs made to order, hash browns and white toast.<\/p>\n

The menu noted that for an additional $3.09, a diner can upgrade the pancakes on the Lumberjack Slam to a choice of different premium pancake varieties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Denny’s prices vary by region and restaurant. On the Denny’s website<\/a>, the Lumberjack Slam is listed as having a starting price of $16.29. The Reddit user did not note the location of the Denny’s where he snapped the picture of the menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Reddit user’s recent trip to Denny’s raised eyebrows due to how expensive one of the items has become.\u00a0<\/span> (\u00a0Justin Sullivan\/Getty Images \/ Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Even since the Reddit post, the starting price of the Lumberjack Slam has increased nationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Redditor “CodingFatman” noted in a July 3 comment that the Lumberjack Special’s price on Denny’s website was $14.49, nearly $2 less than the listed price Aug. 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For my daughter, my wife, and self, 3 meals and 2 coffees plus 20% tip was $78,” wrote Front_Usual_288. “Our usual breakfast place is kind of fancy, and less expensive than this abomination.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Reddit users claimed they used to pay far less than $17.99 for the same order.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Damn this used to be like $9 I think when I was in high school (2005),” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“I used to get a lumberjack, coffee and cake for under $20,” another recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“I feel like it was like 12.99 just a few years ago,” another user said.<\/p>\n

And another user had a humorous suggestion as to why the price was so high.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“You\u2019re paying extra for the lumberjack to come out and slam you at the end,” he said.<\/p>\n

Denny’s does not have standardized pricing across the United States. So, it is unclear how much the Lumberjack Slam has increased in price over the years.<\/p>\n

In December 2022, however, SFGATE reporter Nico Madrigal-Yankowski visited “the most expensive Denny’s in California,” a location in San Francisco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Denny’s did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ request for comment.<\/p>\n
