Denny’s

Wound up at Denny’s this morning after our sons hockey game. Denny’s is no nonsense. You basically know what you are walking into before you even get there. Having eaten at this location probably two dozen times or so over the past ten years. It’s no frills and the food is somewhat decent. Today we sat down to a packed dining room and were quickly waited on. Placed our order and began to wait and wait and wait and wait some more. Our waitress– who has been a staple here over the past 5+ years– came out after 25 minutes to say that one of the fryers had broken down causing delays throughout the kitchen. Nearly 1 hour after we ordered– our food arrived. The food was actually quite good and hit the spot of what we’ve come to expect from Denny’s. Our waitress apologized again for the delay; we understood it wasn’t her fault. Did not see any managers making the rounds of the dining room to help with the delays or offer apologies to patrons. We all left full– if not somewhat disappointed by the lengthy delay in getting our food. Service from our waitress was decent from start to finish.

The server and manager were great! The drinks always stayed filled! The food was hot and came pretty quickly. Only problem I had was that my daughters burger didn’t have the cheese melted and my nachos were a little harder than expected because they were a bit over cooked. However, this isn’t our only recent experience dinning at this location, we had ordered take out the night before. The burger from that order was completely perfect and I ordered biscuits and gravy… they were awesome! I guess it depends on the cook! Overall experience was pretty good and we will return to this location in the future.

I imagine everyone is reading this wondering «What is this Denny’s place all about»… Well, man who lives under a rock– it’s a cheap, sometimes dirty, restaurant chain. It’s usually the same everywhere, but since I feel like Unilocaling, here goes– This is my favorite Denny’s by far. Always good service. We ate here recently, and as usual, everyone was pretty happy. I also like that they have the $ 4 value menu with the smaller grand slam. Did I mention it’s cheap?
The one thing I think could have been improved upon for this visit, was the restroom. It was not very clean, smelled bad, and badly needed attention. Aside from that visit to the restroom, I’d say our trip to Denny’s was worthy of 3 stars. Yay, I reviewed Denny’s.
