    Half of a plate of what I ordered. I order this a few times a week , damn near a scam here.

    Only gave a star because they waitress was great. Got scammed on quantity of food, I get this about 3 times a week. This was about 1/2 the serving. I was told I would have to pay dbl to get more. I just wanted what I was supposed to get

    I think I'm suppose to eat this then pay for it.. horrible not the first time eather

    once again a horrible experience food never cooked or prepared correct waitress don't have nice attititude nothing good to say its getting worse across the country I see why they are going broke

    Extravagant sweet tea.

    There were some unanswered questions in the 6.9 star review. Apparently you are able to live in a gas station it is just not recommended, it's also illegal, but rules never stopped me. Speaking of rules, they broke all the rules while making this menu, can you believe that you can have a ham and cheese omelette 3 days in a row at 1:00 AM and they remember you!? Not to mention the restrooms, squeaky clean except stall 1 and stall 3, those have been blown up by yours truly. Overall I think this location is phenomenal and deserves more love. Beautiful restaurant Dennys in Mt. Vernon. Keep up the great work.

    I had stopped in here reluctantly due to my family wanting to have a quick breakfast and me wanting to keep hitting the road up to Michigan all the was from Memphis Tennessee. I don't like the idea of having a gas station-restaurant breakfast but they were hungry and we stopped to fill gas and eat. First of all, ain't no hospitality there from the get go. Everyone was clearly staring at us for being ARAB and NOT in a friendly way. We weren't treated with respect by the hostess nor our server. Our server was rude, severed tables that had sat down after us and they were done before we even got our food. She was extremely dry, didn't smile, but for the clearly LOCAL folks, she was all smiles and pleasant. Clearly racist and didn't care to hide it. I asked her about substituting certain items because I was Keto and she DARED TO ROLL her eyes and say they don't do that but she'll ask and then gave a fake smerk while taking our menus like she was trying to squeeze every ounce of poison out of her face to attempt a fake smile. The Hostess was just as bad, she checked up on almost all the other tables( LOCALS) and didn't bother checking up, asking and completely ignored us being there. Apart from the appalling treatment me and my family got from the trash running this joint, the food was alright. Never ever stepping foot in that place again. I should've never went in and exposed my poor family to that. SHAME ON YOU DENNYS for allowing people like this to work and treat people this way. Shame.

    Pot roast And steak.  My husband and I tried to pawn our orders off on each other.  All I can say is "Yuch".

    Stumbled across this restaurant on a trip to St Louis, and we're glad we stopped. The first thing…read moreto catch the eye is a long glass-front counter full of delightful-looking desserts. The restaurant is obviously a local favorite spot as many other patrons were greeted by name by staff or other diners. We seated ourselves in a booth, of which circles the rest of the room with several tables down the middle. Service was quick, sweet tea for me, not often found in Illinois dining, but perfectly done for this southern girl. Hubby was just as happy with his unsweet tea. The homemade vegetable soup was warm, thick with vegetables, even some cabbage, midst the creamy broth. My hand-presses cheeseburger was as delectable as any, and would have been perfect if tomatoes were in season and carried more flavor. But the lettuce was crisp, the onion sharp, and the pickles crunchy. Hubby has a tossed salad and the catfish dinner. The fish was cooked in cornmeal, a real "down home" dish, plenty of it and plenty of flavor. Hush puppies were delicious, but not enough of them. Then, we both ordered dessert even though we knew we couldn't finish them: strawberry cake and a lemon crème pie. Out of this world! The price was reasonable for the excellent food and service, even in these days of austerity. We definitely intend to return to The Grille!

They serve real butter packets with their pancakes too, not the whipped spread fake stuff! It was busy but the servers were attentive for coffee refills.

Maybe a little too much because we ahd to keep flagging our waitress down who seemed a bit scattered. But still she was very nice. Other staff members checked on us several times so we were never lacting in anything. The stake I ordered (medium rare) which I always order came out very rare. If it was a little more done I would not have said anything. But someone from the kitchen stopped by the table and asked if I was ahppy with the tempature. I was nice about it and said, well not really, this seems very rare to me, not medium rare. WIthout complain he quickly took the stake on a side dish leaving the rest of myt meal to enjoy. Teo minutes laters a perfectly medium rare stake came out with a bit of char on the outside, hot and pink while still juicy inside. And it was a very good, very thick streak. Honestly I had wished I'd ordered a large cut. ANd isn't a great steak your looking for when going to a steakhouse?

    One of the oddest cheeseburgers I can recall ever ordering. While I admire the chef's /…read morerestaurant's enthusiasm to do something exotic, here, it didn't work. It's about execution. The meat was quite odd, both in consistency and taste. If I had to guess, they took reject pieces from their steaks and ground them up, perhaps several days ago? You couldn't cut through it with a fork. It had a strange taste to it. It wasn't at a warm or hot temperature and tasted stale. The onions that they added were delicious, but way too minuscule in size and bulk to have any taste impact. The bun was ordinary, despite their raving and reliance on its quality, and it being a Kaiser roll. The burger lacked customary garnish. Why I order cheeseburgers at high end establishments? In part? I like the quality thick beefsteak tomato slice and crisp, fresh lettuce. Here? No garnish at all, just a patty with a little cheese and onion. If the patty was fresh black angus and juicy, without the weird consistency and taste present here, and had they lavished it with mountains of similar onion and more cheese? --The risky and odd approach to making a cheeseburger might have proven successful. For this cheese to suffice, it, too, would have needed to be more pungent in taste, and abundant in presence. You could barely taste it. The mashed potatoes were quite good but way too salty. I literally crunched down on some salt crystals. That's when you know there's inordinate salt. Weird service and rock hard chairs made this bizarre stop on the way to St. Louis/ Denver more painful to savor. What irritates me was that I had to order a Caesar salad just to obtain roughage. And when you take the $30 for the salad and burger combined into account? That's a lot for such an odd experience. In summary, anyone who watches and implements the Gordon Ramsay Fword cheeseburger recipe on YouTube will end up with a vastly superior cheeseburger. In this town, while I am visiting only, from what I've read and seen in reviews, I'd recommend instead the frosty mug for basic food along these lines. A $24 burger better be pretty darned special to attract this sort of tab. This was just weird, not great. Sorry, no photos.

The prime rib, which was a special that night, my dog would not eat. There was nothing but fat and gristle and extremely thin cut.

Every aspect that brought us back has disappeared so we will not be returning.

We ordered beef queso dip for an appetizer( great tortilla chips). We get this dark brown, runny, stuff with what has a couple unidentifiable chunks in it. It tastes like old beans. Entrees: I get regular steak fajitas, my husband gets the trio fajitas which include chicken and shrimp, that comes with rice and beans.. I spit my first and only bite of rice right into my napkin, the beans weren't the worst thing I'd ever tasted, but they where close. The fajitas.. ugh grey steak strips with ZERO seasoning, not dry, not tough, not cold... ZERO taste, and a color that I'd never seen a steak before. The onions, green bell peppers, and red bell peppers where mostly not cooked through like you expect with fajitas , or so over done and shriveled, it was like I had old vegetables mixed in with new one's. My husband's corn tortillas where all split in half, broken. 1 bowl of "beef queso", 2 fajita meals, i had 2 long Island ice teas, my husband had 2 cokes, and we paid the $2.99 fee to be able to play unlimited trivia game's at the table. After tip, because like I said she deserved it, was over $100.00!! We used a $30 dollar gift card, and then came out of pocket about $70.00 dollar's!! Left the table with plates still full, and a shocked look when we turned down take home containers. Never Ever Again!
