| - I've eaten here a number of times since retiring to the Phoenix area, My drivers loved this place and now I understand why. The kitchen is small, but the food is first-rate. Even if you're not driving a "big rig," the food is good enough to go out of your way for.
Today, I had the "Daily Special," a carne asada burrito. My friend had the quesadilla. Both came with homemade refried beans and spanish-style rice. Drinks were Coca-Cola products. Portion sizes were excellent and the drinks were bottomless. With tip, lunch for two was under $20.00. I can also recommend the homemade chips and salsa, the "Grande Burrito" for breakfast and the "Big Rig Burger." I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal here.
For Truckers:
a) If you're addicted to chrome, they have a HUGE chrome shop; the biggest I've seen west of the Iowa 80 (truckers will know what I'm talking about). They have a repair shop and a radio shop. They also wash and wax your rig by HAND!!. The price is reasonable and my drivers swore by their work;
b) The showers are CLEAN and HUGE. Danny's gives you a washcloth and a couple of towels. It's worth the $10;
c) Parking ain't cheap. In fact, they now only sell parking spaces on their lot for 24 hrs. It's better than the Flying J across the street (the "J" has a "no dropped trailers" policy). Danny's does allow dropped trailers and they do have a security patrol (in a golf cart). My guys used to drop their trailers (with a pin lock and glad hand locks) and bobtail to Walmart (on 75th Ave) to stock up on groceries.
Truckers, BEWARE!! Phoenix, AZ has a 9.3% (6.6% state + 2.7% local) sales tax on all non-edible items and even a 1.5% food tax on groceries!!
