text: Dennys Seriously Do you know how long it is been since I have eaten at Dennys Looks through reviews Huh Apparently less than two years I would have said longer At least this time it was in Charlotte or the Charlotte area anywaynnSince we were out and about running errands and I was really hungry we stopped for a bite But there are not that many places open on a weekend morning in this part of town At least I do not think there are Sure there are fast food places at least a couple of them And there is Cracker Barrel but we have done that before So we chose Dennys What can I say Those Grand Slam commercials at least mean that they work when we have few other choicesnnThe service was spotty It started good but rapidly went downhill They seemed more interested in talking about what they did the night before at least one staffer seemed to have been at the zombie walk than helping customers One person dropped a glass Not a big deal but it took a while to clean up and that seemed to set everyone all atizzynnFood was better on the menu than on the table but that is no real surprise A company like Dennys has a bunch of money to spend on presentation and apparently little on preparation The one surprise here was the pancake puppies These were a bit like hush puppies only made of pancake batter They were pretty good a bit on the sweet side but nonetheless very tasty They come in orders of six and I am not sure you would want more than that In fact a single order for an entire table might be good as an appetizernnOther than that nothing much to say We might wait a couple more years before we come back again Or maybe more if I can resist those Grand Slam commercials
