| - I went to Denny's, first time in years, on the 8th of January to use my free Grand Slam breakfast offer. I really went in with low hopes as Denny's has disappointed before (Note: I was sober and this review does not reflect the importance of drunk Denny's). Fortunately on this trip Denny's really pulled through. The wife and I both enjoyed our meal.
I had the slam with eggs, ham steak, hash, and sour dough toast. Ham steak is a great addition / substitute for the super thin bacon. Alison went with the yogurt, fresh fruit, gingerbread french toast, and bacon. We were both surprised to see fresh fruit and not something frozen and thawed....wow. She loved the french toast and of course bacon is bacon, thin but good.
So you ask why the 3 stars?? First off my idea of a 5 star breakfast joint is a greasy spoon place where they don't skimp on quantity or quality, not to mention somewhere that puts their own spin on certain staples. Other qualities are cleanliness, appearance, and something I call the 'post-breakfast hit or run'. You either have food that stays with you which is the 'hit' and you have the other. Denny's gets dinged for not being unique in any way, by not EVER wiping down the table side menu and rarely cleaning the condiment tray. The floors were a disaster and just did not have a healthy look to the place. The food however was a hit and met my standards which was all I was expecting for a free birthday Grand Slam.
