    Note that most of the bad reviews are really old, some aren't even Vaud. Oh well. It seems this Denny's has been remodeled, it's one of the nicest looking Denny's we've ever eaten in. It's got a great Route 66 decor going on with stylists maps and local photography. It's fun just to look around it. Generally it's pretty quiet, social distancing helps that too. We've been here a dozen times. Bo it's not amazing, it's a Denny's so people that give it one star for being what it is, isn't really fair. The pancakes are always good, better than our local ihop and most coffee shops and diners in the area. Inlets are good and I'd say better than anyone Ele SES in Joplin. Some menu items are hit and miss but they do some things really well. Here's the surprise The menu always HS good Photography, it makes me suspicious of the food because I expect the food that's served to look nothing like that. I mean think about Subway, their ads have giant sandwiches bursting with veggies and meat. But they never look like that in real life. The pictures in the Denny's menu of hamburgers are really well done (my compliments to the food stylists and photographer). But I haven't had a burger in a Denny's in more than 30 years, they just aren't or weren't very good. I was wrong, so are you, if you like a good homemade burger you got to give this Denny's a chance. Check my photo, my burger was huge! More than that it was fresh, good quality meat, well crusted in the outside but juicy and flavorful inside like a good steakhouse burger! The veggies were fresh, cool, crisp and also had flavor. The bun was not a cheap grocery store in either. It was worth eating, I often skim the bun at a lot of places because they are just cardboard or fluffy but tasteless. This was simply a very good burger that I would expect from a good neighborhood bbq or a steakhouse. I was really surprised. My came with seasoned fries which were crisp and fresh but kind of flavored like curly fries which I don't care for but good if you like curly fries. Last we ordered smoothies which was more of a dessert, I had the mango yogurt, my wife had the green one which was mango, spinach, apple, yogurt and I think other stuff. Both were good and we took them home as desserts. Ok let's be clear, it's a Denny's. Starting from that point the service was fair, prompt and our waitress was funny as was the host. It looks better than most small town diners and coffee shops, seats are comfortable and it's clean. It might be the best Denny's we've ever been in. Last, why are my last review from here missing Yelp? My wife and son also gave it good reviews several months ago and they are missing too. Something seems broken at Yelp.

    Owned by Dennys Richards, although she sold half her steak to her ex, Charlie "Mr" Sheen. True story. Except that it's not. But wow, Denise Richards. Swoon. She's like, Amber Heard's even hotter older sister. Or something. At least I Heard she was. Anyway. This is the Denny's at the intersection of I-49 and I-44 just southeast of Joplin and it's part of the Flying J Travel Plaza. 24 hours around the clock food but I really miss the days when these things were little independent diners instead of the typical Denny's menu, which doesn't do anything for me and is overpriced. Like your ma.

    We were traveling across the country. So stopping for food is a must. This Denny's was super hospitable. They seated us right away. My children are always polite but they are still children. The host and server greeted them with smiles and were patient with them. The only down fall was that my daughter ordered an Oreo shake and the server brought her an orange juice. ‍ oh well mistakes happen. Also this Denny's is in a truck stop so my expectations weren't too high give that the workers prob come in contact with some interesting people.

    I live in town and eat here weekly. I can't say enough good things about this place. Is it five…read morestar food...no. Is it really good, yes! I haven't eaten anything here I don't like. Their breakfast is as good as it gets when it comes to cafe food. Their meatloaf is some of the best I've had to be honest. I love their homemade hot rolls they serve with the meatloaf. The hamburger steak is one of my favorites. Their green beans are ok. Probably their weakest side. Their country potatoes are among my favorites. The service is always good. The ladies there work hard and know their customers. It's loud when full of customers, but hey..at least they are busy. It's always clean and they are friendly. Obviously I love this place. If you want great cafe food, then just eat here. Oh, give their baked goods a try. You'll thank me later. :-)

    Cute little cafe with home cooking! Had the chicken fried…read moresteak skillet breakfast. The chicken fried steak was served piping hot over hash browns, your choice of how you want your eggs, I ordered scrambled eggs.my side was home style biscuits and gravy. You had a big variety of choices. If I would do it over again I outrace pancake or French toast. Don't get me wrong the biscuits and gravy were very good, I just needed something sweet after the awesome home style breakfast. Would definitely come back.
