"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"

"So good, and incredible size! I couldn't eat all of either one."
"Food was inedible because it was cold and disgusting. There was so much guacamole in the Cheese Quesadilla that it fell out all over the place and the 4 Rolled Tacos was covered in flakey cheese and had a chalky texture and taste. The Side Rice 8oz was good. I will not recommend this place and will not be back."

"bro I ordered here because others mentioned they package it well
they weren't lying. everything was super fresh. the French Toast with 2 Eggs wasn't soggy. I got eggs over medium and they were perfectly cooked.
the Fruit was good, but too much melon for me. all good tho. (no photo sorry)
syrup and butter packaged separately and didn't open.
I suggest y'all tip well especially for breakfast because the driver was there early and got me the food quick. don't be cheap and expect things to arrive in a decent amount of time
but bro no napkins or utensils. luckily I had some at the hotel. probably my fault."
"Wow blew my expectations out of the water especially when ordering late night at 2am. Each ingredient came together in perfect umami harmony; soft brioche bun, perfect amount and crisp on the hashbrown one a good meaty sized singlepatty cooked to order, fried egg, and country gravy that just brings it all
Together. Got half fried half rings for the side and they maintained its fried goodness and seasoned. Planning to book and order again. "

"I got the quesotaco with steak, and while the grilled cheese looked a little overdone, it had a nice crisp without tasting burnt. They don’t skimp on the steak either, way more generous and authentic than what Chipotle’s been serving lately. Overall, a solid choice if you’re craving something hearty."
