    Bourbon Bacon Burger with Hash Browns
    Rebekah A.

    I think this is the 3rd time in the last decade I've been to a Dennys location. It isn't somewhere we go often, but while driving through we decided to stop here for dinner. This location was pretty quiet, clean and the staff was all very friendly. I ordered the bourbon burger, and subbed my fries out for hashbrowns. Because why not? The burger was cooked medium well, and was piled with goodies. The sauce was a little sticky for my preference on a handheld, but luckily I had baby wipes. Mom score. Lol The food was on par with what to expect from a Dennys and overall we had a pleasant experience.

    Staff is great.

    Great food. Great service. I always have a wonderful time with the banter from the staff.

    Bottomless cup of Joe.

    I was traveling on Interstate 5 near Lodi, CA and Thornton Rd. "Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again!" Ok, not really stuck... just wanted to make that Creedence Clearwater Revival song reference. Me and my traveling companions stopped on onto the Flying J truck stop for a potty break.We spied the Dennys inside the adjoining building. We were in the mood for a sit down meal before we hit the road again. So we popped on into this Denny's. The place was clean and modern. The decor, lighting fixtures, and wall decorations were all pretty new looking. It was the prettiest looking Denny's I have seen in awhile and I just dined in one a few weeks ago. They had booth, table, or counter seating options. I got the $8.99 endless breakfast special. It was not on the menu, I just saw it on the Yelp app and asked our server. So a pro tip, check out the Yelp app or Dennys website for additional meal discounts & specials. This special had scrambled eggs, pancakes, and hash browns. Each serving is 2 eggs and 2 pancakes with hash browns. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. Golden brown. Buttery goodness with a mesmerizing vanilla scent . Mmmm. The hash browns were grilled with a slight crisp to it. Yum. The coffee was ok. Hey it's a Dennys... you're not getting single origin here. It runs around $3.60 and it's bottomless. Our waitress made sure of that. I never saw the bottom of my mug. She was awesome! Darn I forgot her name. If there was an Olympics for waitressing, she would have medaled. Even though my order was endless, I only ordered one. I normally would have ordered another, I know ya all probably thinking... another!? LOL. But my traveling companions gave me the cross eye. Our waitress said the kitchen was understaffed and warned us after we ordered that the food may take awhile to come out. I appreciated that she warned us and gave us the opportunity to bail right then and there. I noticed some tables took her up on that. We took our chances and stayed. Surprisingly it didn't take long at all.

    We came in here at about midnight on a Friday evening. There was one server and one cook. Ofcourse everyone else also wanted Denny's at the same time so there was a bit of a wait. The server did the best she could and really did an excellent job for how much work she had. She was also bussing and cleaning all of the tables. We ordered two nachos, one Oreo shake, and one strawberry pancake puppy. All of the food was fresh and delicious. The nachos and pancake puppies were the perfect temperature. Although the service was a bit rough I rated them 4 stars because it wasn't the servers fault and honestly the world is just understaffed right now. We would come back here without hesitation.

I was worried I wouldn't like the calamari because I'm not a fan of steak-cut calamari, but it was soooo good! You could really tell it was freshly breaded and fried. We also ordered the M&M pizza and the Super [something--I forgot the name ]. Both pizzas were crispy, with a moist and soft crust. 5/5 pizza! For dessert, we got the tiramisu and chocolate gelato, and both were really good. The chocolate gelato is HUGE and definitely shareable. The restaurant is super cute! I recommend sitting outside for a different atmosphere. We didn't realize the outdoor patio was still enclosed, so we ended up sitting inside. I wish we had sat outside! The service was okay. Our server was nice, but between the assistant server and our server, there were a few times when we felt left unattended. Maybe they thought they each checked on us ‍ I definitely recommend this place, and we will be coming back!

Always a good sign. We were quickly seated in their covered patio area. The seating was quite comfortable. The staff were prompt and attentive. I ordered the Potatoe Platter. Probably not the healthiest of choices but who can deny a heaping platter of country style potatoes mixed with grilled ham, bacon, onions, and topped with melted cheese. I mean seriously. I ordered mine with eggs and ordered the pancake instead of toast, more on that later. To say this is a hearty meal would be the understatement of the year. Try as I might, I packed over half of this delicious dish for breakfast the following day. Judge me if you must, but I measure all pancakes against the gold standard of pancakes, McDonalds. The Avenue Grill offered a solid pancake, light, fluffy with a slight snap, every bit a worthy competitor to my favorite. Before I knew it, the pancake was gone. My wife ordered the French Toast. Want we loved about the Avenue Grill is sometimes you just want good, simple food and this was the case with the French Toast. Based on a light Sourdough, the french toast had good flavor and came together nicely with the syrup. All in all, we absolutely loved Avenue Grill. If you're ever in the Lodi area, Avenue Grill is worth a visit.

It's set in a nondescript strip mall & the restaurant itself is small with outdoor seating with space heaters but we three sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait at all for a table. It's very casual yet chill ambiance. Parking is free & there is only one restroom for the entire restaurant. So plan ahead. My son & I had the Denver omelettes with sourdough toast. My wife had her usual veggie omelette with no cheese but with sourdough toast. When we were served our breakfast our faces lit up literally bc of the massive amount of food. And that's an understatement! We ended up with boxes to go bc there was so much food on our plate. Crazy amount! You can be sure we would return! Can't wait!

They offer brunch, lunch, and dinner with a lot of specials and themed dining nights that you have to keep up with. Brunch was okay. I think I was expecting a lot from them food-wise, but maybe that was my mistake to do so. Service was really good. Everyone was very welcoming and nice and made sure all of our needs were met. The banana chocolate chip waffles were very good. It is hard to mess up waffles, especially when you can never go wrong with banana and chocolate, and it was exactly what I wanted. I also ordered a side of sausage and you get 3 for $5. The biscuit (though not the traditional shape) was very tasty. Not dry at all and tasted just how you would want a biscuit to taste like. I probably wouldn't order the gravy again. Overall, I'm glad I stopped by to try them out, but I probably wouldn't come back for brunch. Maybe for dinner? Stay tuned!

    Wow. SQZ Burger has been open for nearly three years in Lodi and I never noticed it. I know I've…read moredriven past it many times, but I guess their signage is too modest compared to the huge "IDOL BEER WORKS" on the other end of the building. I figured it was just another iteration of the original (now long gone) Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, and I was right. I don't think the various locations are franchises, but are more likely independently owned, and the quality varies from location to location. The one that used to be in West Sac, for instance, was terrible, which might explain why it's been gone for years. And the mid-town was also a resounding MEH, and also gone. There's nothing at any version of Squeeze Inn/Burger that I want more than just a basic Squeeze (or in this case, SQZ) with Cheese, though. I don't want a taco, nor a BLT, and especially not chicken strips. I want that which made the brand famous. A cheeseburger with all the traditional toppings and a cheese skirt just dripping cheese grease off it. SQZ Burger delivers the goods. The cheese skirt was just the right size, not too big, not too small. At one point in my life I would have said that there's no such thing as a cheese skirt that's too big, but a couple of years ago I had a cheese skirt that was so big that I felt sick afterward from all the cheese grease! In addition to the just right amount of cheese, the burger had lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a healthy schmear of mayo and mustard. Damn near a perfect burger. The owner was running the register on my visit, and when she brought my food out, she asked if I wanted a side of ranch. I'm the kind of guy who would drink ranch dressing if I could, so of course I accepted. I didn't even ask - It was nice of her to offer! There's a throughline from the original Squeeze Inn on Power Inn Road to SQZ Burger, too. The father of the husband half of the H/W ownership team owned the original location. Brandon and Katie ran the Galt location for several years, and have now brought the goodness to a Lodi brick and mortar spot. I'll definitely be back.

And my strawberry shake was good also. We had about 45 people all land at the same time, and SQZ was able to quickly get us all served in short order. I do love the vibe of both SQZ & IDOL. It was a nice little drive both ways with an epic food stop in between.

PROS: - Nice family atmosphere - Large food volume for price - Good service CONS: - Ordered the Pancake Combo, which includes two (2) pancakes. As you can see in the attached picture, one of the pancakes was completely burnt. The chef tried to hide it by putting the burnt pancake under the normal one. I didn't notice it until I had already eaten 1/3rd of the meal, and was too hungry to wait to have another one cooked. This is not the restaurant's fault, but completely the fault of the chef at the time. Needless to say, I won't be coming back.
