Ok, I have gone to this Denny's many times since it is the closest Denny's to my house. It takes me a lot to say anything about their food in the place for two reasons:
1) Once said the service become incrementally shittier when someone does say something
2) Not only the food, but the service was horrible.
In this case the waitress was absolutely awesome and I left her a $7 tip for $26.00 of food.
Yeah I am biased, but if my kids like someone, then I like em, period.
Either way she was attentive for the most part and almost too nice, but I think I would rather have that any day over just being a horrible waitress. The only reason why I am giving this establishment is two stars is for the waitress. Otherwise it would seriously be one star. She did her job, and even though she asked me how the food was, I did not have the heart to tell her my issue.
So I brought my two girls in there with me today. They were absolutely driving me nuts and had to scold them multiple times for being out of line. If I could yelp my kids I would, but this is about establishments heh. In any event, the food was a serious thing for me. Let's face it. Going out anywhere now a days is somewhat of a treat due to not having enough money to really go out often, and when one goes out, they want to have shit done right. Like I said earlier, the waitress was absolutely awesome. But let's talk about the food:
My girls food turned out good and they are as much as they do. Which is never really much, but my food wax another story. I ordered the Fish and Chips. I am a connoisseur of fish and chips. Basically any fish fried I am pretty good with. Either way I am not that picky either. But when I saw what she served me I think I threw up in my mouth a little. Granted I was already having a bad day, but this just took the cake. I had to wait a few hours before I posted this just to calm down from the anger of it all. I have been a patron of this place for about 7 years now and have never ever ever had fish that was cooked worse anywhere I have ever eaten fish in my life. My ARMY skills came back into play as I was just so pissed that I just ate it anyway. You know how fried fish is supposed to be soft on the inside and flaky on the out? Well, this was like beef jerky on the inside and burnt on the outside. I can't actually believed that they served that. Either way I figured since it was seriously overcooked, at least I probably won't die from eating it and forked it down.
Have you ever been to a place where you accepted what they gave you for service but felt that you felt cheated afterwards? I mean really, I could have made this food burnt and all at home ya know? I don't know who the chef was at the time, but they really need to retrain their people there. I mean I would even have more of an understanding if the place was packed, as it usually is, but there was about maybe 5 tables seated the time I was there.
So in the end:
Waitress 6 stars - she was awesome
Chef - horrible food. I mean even the broccoli wasn't steamed enough. Maybe if he put more time into steaming the broccoli and less time into burning the fish it would have worked out. Either way, I won't eat there again.
Minor complaint: They had a total of 3 crayons between my daughters. The waitress tried to find more but that was all they had. I guess I should be thankful for that. But again, its a minor complaint. read more
