Denny's considers 55 to be a senior.

I'll never forget the first time my mom was offered a senior discount. It
wasn't there but another place. My coworker's son was working there. My
mom got all bent out of shape about it. Turns out that she was beyond the
age of getting the discount but she was still bent out of shape. And
wouldn't you know that my coworker's son was the one that offered the
discount. I felt bad for him. You don't want to tangle with my mom.
