| - This has become a "nice" Denny's, where the place is clean and pretty, the waitstaff are extremely pleasant, the coffee refills are frequent (and the coffee will put hair on your chest), napkins are offered generously, and things pretty much go well.
I'm putting it at only 3 stars because in comparison to other places in the coffee shop/family diner world, Denny's is reliable rather than exciting. It's open at the crack of dawn so a person can tank up before early morning Walmart shopping, which is a point for "reliable." The food is food. These were not the worst eggs I've ever had; they were not the best eggs. The sausage was a sausage. Whatever was supposed to be happening with the Rio Ranchero skillet happened, and it's at least genuinely spicy.
Prices outside the $2-$4-$6-$8 menu are heading upward to meet the breakfast prices of chi-chi eateries, while the quality is still staunchly middle-of-the-road -- which is a chain-wide issue, not the fault of this Denny's, but still a reason to make it a breakfast fall-back rather than a breakfast destination.
I'd do this again because Walmart's at its most bearable at 7:30 on Sunday morning, but it's better with a coupon, and I won't *not* search for more local and exciting alternatives.
