Vegetarian Restaurant Review by Jennifer Kumar.
Meet and Greet
We were immediately greeted and sat down on a Saturday night past 11pm.
Mise en Scène 
This Denny’s is filled with teenagers, college students and other young people who either have permission by their parents to be at Denny’s (rather than roaming the streets) or are here in anticipation of the bar/club scene later in the night. Due to this, it’s a slightly rowdy crowd. Also due to this the waiter on staff has a lot of fun entertaining the young girls who come in scantly dressed, flirting with him.
**We did not have to use restrooms, so no comment on that ambiance!
Choosing a Veggie Treat
We came in expecting to get a breakfast item. We actually were coming here after a long day of biking (photos of biking at Hamlin Beach Park) and other activity. Also upon entering we saw some special they had – limited time appetisers, one being potachos. This was something new to us, a hybrid dish of thick potato chips with nacho toppings (without meat). We also had ordered a make your own slam with three items at 5.99.
The potachos were amazing. As this location is infamous in my mind for the amazing amounts of oil used, both the potachos and breakfast items and their cooresponding empty plates were glazed with dripping oil. Not a place to eat if you want to eat healthy, though it was full of taste! Though we liked the potachos a lot, they also seemed to be overpriced at 7.59. They should have had a vegetarian option on the menu with a lower price.
Checking In
Because our waiter was too busy flirting with all the pretty and scantly dressed girls in the room, our service could have been bettter. It was not bad though. Hope he made some good tips, or maybe a lot of nice slaps!
See you later
Because our waiter was preoccupied getting the bill and payment could have been faster.
Pay Scale
$11-15 per person – Keep in mind this is only for one appetiser and one breakfast slam with coffees. I feel it’s a bit pricey. But no place else is really open at this time of night, so we were locked in to Denny’s.
Tips 10% was sufficient (I wonder how much the girls he flirted with gave as tips!)
I don’t mind visiting other Denny’s but this one is just too oily and we don’t seem to fit the profile of customers who get speedy or personal service at this hour.

We came here for New Year's Eve (12/31/08). The hybrid dish I mentioned above was a promo item. It was not available this time, which was upsetting. We really liked that dish. We, instead, got some smothered cheese fries, without bacon. The fries were done well, but the cheese sauce was not so tasty. For our main meal, we shared the make your own make your own breakfast - 4 items for $5.99. I got grits and biscuit. Krishna had the eggs and toast. I have no complaints about the breakfast items.
Wait service was commendable. We only wish that since it was New Year's Denny's would have created a more festive atmosphere by providing noisemakers and New Year's hats, as was done for us in Hard Rock Cafe (Niagara Falls, USA) some years before. When it turned midnight only few enthusiastic employees encouraged noisemaking.
