Denny’s

Hopes weren’t to high. Seemed that only one waitress was working on a Friday night. Mgmt did walk around to pitch in. Food was fine. The kids pizza came with a pinch of cheese, even my 3yr old wouldn’t touch it. I asked waitress «where’s the cheese?» She pointed to the pizza and said «right there». Never mind! Not worth the fight. I took a picture of the pizza and photo from kids menu. Not even close. All in all, it’s Denny’s.

My wife and I stopped in for dinner last night when we were passing through town. After all, Denny’s are all about the same and we didn’t feel like wandering around town looking for some place to try. We ordered from the senior menu and the order arrived hot and well prepared. Conspicuous in their absense were our salads (or soup) and bread. Both are listed on the menu as part of the meal, neither were ever mentioned. I decided to let it go, the salad would have been nice but I really don’t need the bread. The portions were large enough that we were both full when we left. I’m listing three stars for the service and quality of what was served. I’m holding back two stars since it appears someone hasn’t trained the staff, or is cutting corners at the public’s expense.

Hmmmm must have been an off evening. Terrible service. Order was wrong. It wasn’t very good when it arrived and it took forever. We have been traveling looking for a quick place to eat that wasn’t fast food. Well I can say it wasn’t fast.

We have stopped in here several times while traveling on I-​45. The service is always good, the food is always fresh. I don’t usually write reviews for chain restaurants, but I’m writing this review because when we stopped in for lunch recently no one was eating here & they should be!
I had a veggie omelet, it was one of the best I’ve had. My husband had a BLT burrito & it was excellent as well. The ladies who work here are so sweet, and although I appreciate not having to wait for a table, I’m sure they’d like the business! Give it a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

So, it’s a Denny’s. It’s chain food, hot coffee and pretty much the same from location to location.
The 4 stars is due to the service. Our waiter, Andy, was stellar. We received a complimentary fruit bowl while waiting for our breakfast and when the toddler we were travelling with wanted to take fruit with us as we left, he packed her a little box of grapes and apple slices for the rest of our ride.
Andy was attentive, made sure all of our orders were right the first time and checked in just enough to not be one of those lurker waiters. If you’re traveling along I-​45, stop in and see Andy.
