The neon signs are especially fun too. I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was the first to arrive, and since they don't do reservations, I requested a table. We were expected to be quite a large party (approx.10-12), so it was pretty difficult getting seated quickly since they had to figure out spacing. But that's understandable with how limited the seating is already. I was between getting the zucchini fries and the brussels sprouts, because their brussels sprouts are so tasty and flavorful. But ended up ordering the zucchini fries, because they are incredible! They're nice, hot and crispy, and go amazing with their ranch! For my main dish I ordered the Wild Caught Cajun Salmon Salad. I had never had it before but it was really good & filling! The food took a little long to come out, but again, it was understandable with the amount of people in our party.

Can't argue with that, pop off dude. The food itself was good. I had a latte and a breakfast burrito with chile verde and fruit pancakes. The chile verde was the best part of the meal. Everything else was pretty average and typical for breakfast food. I did like their extensive menu and Mexican American flavors, it was a fun touch.

An amazing time for my little sister, my baby and i. Samantha was our server last week on a busy sunday morning. As a server myself, i immediately noticed how busy everyone was and was discouraged but we were sat quickly by a sweet host, Genesis. After that our server met us quickly and asked for our drinks and made us aware that she had some current large tables but she would be back as quick as possible and then asked if we wanted food for my baby as well! super considerate! and yes of course he wanted some food lol. since she was busy, her fellow server desiree helped her run the drinks! and the main cook benny personally got my babies eggs and hashbrowns handled! in all amazing experience! and not expensive at all. Highly recommend. read more

On our way home to AZ we stopped in at this Denny's. We were surprised by the immediate, smiling welcome by our server Isaias. He was friendly and helpful. Then we got our order. I haven't had great food at any Denny's anywhere for a long time. We had almost given up on them completely. Our meals and staff have renewed our faith. I had the 55+ Veg Omelette, hashbrowns and English Muffin. It was outstanding. Lynn had the Senior Starter, cooked perfectly. I have never seen her finish her hash browns before but she cleaned her plate. It was clean and enjoyable. Easy off I-40 and just as easy back on. We WILL be back. read more

The food was just as good as going to Denny's in my hometown. One of my favorite things is there season fries the service was excellent. My waitress was awesome and even the cleaning service was amazing. The dishes were actually clean and the per person that was washing the dishes in the back was even out on the floor cleaning tables. She is one of the hardest working people I saw there. I think her name is Maria and she was amazing. Also, my waitress is Michelle and she was the best and had one of the best personalities.

I come here often. The manager Elijah ALWAYS smells like heavy alcohol I've been here for a while and so many tables have walked out because he's making the food burnt or just simply sloppy !! When someone asks for him he always makes it a big deal and makes it obvious he's bothered that the people who come eat ask for him if he don't want to talk to the costumers he tells debanhi to handle it when she isn't the manager! She might as well be. She is the one who constantly is running the shift. Meanwhile he's drunk in the back or the kitchen. read more

She was so polite and got our order spot on. Everything was delicious. But what really made her stand out was her kind big heart.
