But seems we will be looking elsewhere.

We will definitely be back. The breakfast was delicious, the restaurant is gorgeous, and the attentiveness of Brittany was top notch! She took great care of us and we may have laughed a little too hard at a couple of things. Thank you Brittany and the Gabby Goat team!

Then we first smelled and spotted the smoker and figured out how to get around to the entrance. It's in a big warehousey type building and everything looks brand new inside. I had the brisket sandwich. So tender and loaded with meat. The loaded potato salad was really nice. I think it had pulled pork in it, something smokey, but not bacon. My friend had the brisket nachos. She got the half order and barely made a dent in it. Service was very fast and it's right off the interstate.

While the dish looks topping heavy, there was a big bed of lettuce underneath. I liked the variety of the menu. The only complaint food-wise was the size of their kids "chicken tenders", it felt like they breaded a whole chicken breast. The servers were friendly and the wait for food was short. The patio overlooks Lake Sara and has a nice view. They had a several bar games to play to pass time. The men's bathroom was a bit messy by the urinal. However they had a changing table, which can be rare in men's restrooms. Accessibility note: they had a gravel non-paved driveway.

They only do pickup or delivery (via Doordash). Ordered online with no problem. Arrived at the Denny's to pick up the order. However, upon arrival was told that all their burgers are still frozen (it was noon). They offered to get my other things from the Dennys menu, but as we were on a road trip, and crunched for time, that was not really an option. (As I was waiting I heard that another online burger order just came in). They were unable to refund my money, telling me I need to reach out to corporate. They could not provide me any documentation on Dennys letterhead to say they could not fulfill my order. I tried to talk with a manager, but was told there was no manager on duty. (Actually the waitress said they can't find a manager). Thought we'd give this new business model a try. The burgers looked interesting and tasty, if not a bit expensive. But no, we won't do that again. Now I get to see if corporate can actually refund me my $$.
