| - First off, let me say that I LOVE Denny's no matter how much $$ I have in my bank account, and will continue to come here, along with the finer dining places in Fountain Hills. What I love is the cheap and yummy breakfasts, where you get a great amount of food for the low price. In my opinion, Denny's has the best coffee and apple pie EVERRR. So last night, hubby and I went there for Christmas Eve dinner, since most places were closed and we wanted a low-key, quiet dinner.
The manager Ray waited on us. Hubby initially ordered a Bud Light. They were out. So he ordered a Coors Light, which came with a very frosty mug. Good save. I ordered the crispy chicken salad, which was very good (it never disappoints). I also ordered a side of french fries, which came a good 10 - 15 minutes AFTER my salad. Not thrilled at all. Hubby ordered a prime rib cobb salad, which he said was "okay" but certainly didn't look like the picture on the menu. Overall the dinner was good and acceptable.
After dinner Ray set the bill down on the table THEN asked us if we wanted dessert. Bad etiquette. We said that we did want dessert and I thought I detected a smidgen of annoyance on his face, but I could be wrong about that. Remember I mentioned that I love their apple pie? Well, that was shot to hell when Ray said they were again, out. So I ordered the apple crisp. Hubby ordered the chocolate lava cake. Guess what? They were ..... you guessed it ..... out. He ordered a sundae instead. Dessert was good but I had my heart set in the pie.
So, being that 3 of the 6 items we initially ordered....literally HALF.....were "out", you'd think they would offer us some sort of discount or something. Nope. We went there with the intention of tipping very nicely since the person who'd serve us wasn't home with their family on Christmas Eve, but decided not to, all things considered. We will be back, but if this happens again I will insist on a discount!
