"The omelette was delicious, I recommend adding mushrooms to it if you like them! Was very flavorful and cheesy. Would recommend getting this item! Was very quick and efficient too. Good presentation, and everything tasted good!"
"This Dennys sold the Alvocado Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with a single paddy of beef and missing onion and pickle; Onion rings were scalded, burned-over cooked. I bought the exact same order at the Santee store last Saturday with two pads of beef and all the other stuff at the same price. MESSAGE: Don't buy from this Dennys again!!! rmr"

"Potatoes were not greasy but nicely cooked. And thank you, Cook, for leaving the bell pepper out of the potatoes. You noticed that I asked for none in the Scramble. The Shasta Scramble was really good. Great food out of the last two visits. I'm impressed!! "
"I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and brown gravy with a side of white cheddar macaroni and cheese. The meatloaf had a good flavor and firm but not dry texture. It came with crispy onions on top and the classic ketchupy glaze. The potatoes were just mashed redskin potatoes nothing stood out but that's what I was looking for just a basic anywhere USA classic meatloaf dinner. It didn't disappoint. Would order again if I'm feeling a comfort meal and don't want to use the oven in the heat. It scratched that itch and the portions are large. I made two meals out of it. Corn muffin was nice and slightly sweet and moist also"

"Genuinely sensational, some of the best Super Carne Asada Fries i've ever had, well portioned and the fries were at a perfect crisp, the sauce had a sharp spice to it and every ingredient harmonized well. Wonderful experience will for sure be ordering again. Only improvements that could be made is if there was a salsa on the side option that you could order from the doordash app without having to call, if there already is that's my mistake. Definitely recommend! :)"

It was good, just not what I'd expected. The Chicken Apple Pecan salad was the opposite. I was expecting a sweet salad but it was much more sour and tart."
