"Every meal from Denny's is consistently good. My All-American Slam was tasty, as usual. Breakfast, no matter the time of day, is my favorite meal from Denny's."
"The steak was tough and grissly, and tasted like fish, because I'm guessing, that they cooked it on the same grill, that they cooked salmon or some other fish on, and the coffee cups, which were smaller than you get at McDonald's, were only filled 3/4 of the way up. Not worth the outrageous price that Denny's and Doordash are charging."

"We all were in the mood for "Whoppers" & since it's Burger King, we all could have it our own way! Dad wanted a Whopper, made the traditional way, no changes. I wanted the Whopper Meal, made my way, without pickles and onions. Mom, who wanted BK on Mother's Day, got the Whopper Jr. Meal with no pickle. The burgers were cooked to perfection, the fries were crispy & the drinks cold-even the shake was fresh, firm & perfect! The only issue we had was even though I asked for no ice, I received ice anyway. I would definitely order from this Burger King again. They got our order correct & fast, for the most part and the DD driver was friendly & polite."
"You can't go wrong with an Iced Coffee from BK. I prefer it over the big S. Much stronger. The burgers are always made to order, fresh. BK is my weekly treat for walking forty miles a week! I order from this location often, in person as well. I highly recommend."

"Drinks watered down more than any other delivery I've received. Milkshake was the same consistency as the Coke and Dr Pepper. Burgers were mediocre, with our Just For Kids Burger missing cheese. Portions are good, flavor is lacking. Definitely would take a lot for me to want to order from here again. Big miss, especially with other great options around."

"Both the El Chickgon and El Chamuco were seasoned well with fresh ingredients and the taste was incredible. Even the salsa gets 2 thumbs up👍👍"
"My flight from the west coast left me starving at midnight in a hotel room in an unfamiliar city. I ordered the first thing that sounded good and would arrive before 1 AM. My burrito was everything I wanted it to be. Size was perfect; filling but not too big to eat. It was well wrapped, still warm, not soggy, and structurally sound enough to pick up and eat. It wasn't messy, and all the ingredients seemed well balanced. sauces on the side made it easy to add a little more kick, but the base flavor was good too. Very pleased. Would order midnight burritos again."
