“**Denny's Brentwood: A Surprisingly Good Breakfast Experience**

I recently had the chance to try out the new Denny's location in Brentwood, CA, off Brentwood Boulevard. I was initially skeptical, as I hadn't had a particularly positive experience at Denny's in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

I ordered the California Skillet with chorizo, which was a generous portion of scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, all served sizzling hot on a cast-iron skillet. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dish was quite satisfying. To accompany my meal, I opted for the bottomless mimosas with orange juice, which were refreshing and a great way to start the day.

The skillet came with three flour tortillas, which were perfect for scooping up the delicious filling. While I appreciated the generous portion size, I did find the tortillas to be a bit dry.

The wait for a table was about 20 minutes, which is understandable considering the popularity of this new location. However, the wait was made more bearable by the efficient QR code payment system when it was time to leave, which allowed me to pay my bill from my seat.

The restaurant was packed, and the service was surprisingly good. Our server was attentive and friendly, and our food arrived promptly. The overall value of the meal was excellent, with affordable prices for a satisfying breakfast.

Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend this Denny's location to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot in Brentwood. I'll certainly be back again, and I'll be sure to bring a friend to enjoy the delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

Room for improvement: The arcade game should be moved to make more room for those waiting. I didnt see any outside heaters, but maybe I missed it. This would likely convince more people to eat outside.

Nines Restaurant American • $$
100 Summerset Dr, Brentwood

“Seems like the review by John Lie must have been confused, because this is a restaurant on a golf course, not a hotel. My fiance and I are planning our wedding here (Wedgewood Weddings partners with the Nines Restaurant) and every time we come by for a planning meeting we come eat at the Nines Restaurant. In particular we as always hope to see the bartender Jeff; whenever we stop in he gives us superb service, going above and beyond. (Good enough that we specifically requested he bar tend our wedding)“

Parking: Parking was easy on both visits but probably is a little more difficult on busier nights. It is in a shopping center where parking is always available but may require a bit of walking. Park anywhere and visit some stores on the way.“

“Came here on a Saturday morning. It was pretty busy, and a lot of people came in with huge parties. Fortunately, I was here to place a to-go order.Upon entering, it's a pretty warm and cozy vibe. I was helped right away, and the lady was super nice and helpful in picking what to order.While waiting, they have little old-school sticker machines and toys that you pay .50 - $1 for. It just brought back memories as a kid. Selection isn't the same, but it just brought me back.I ordered:1. Dad's Breakfast sandwich - the sandwich had a thick slice of ham, thick bacon, and cheese topped with an over medium egg. It was a messy perfection. It hit the spot.2. Corn beef hash and eggs - So simple but delicious. I liked that it didn't come with the fancy chopped bell peppers and onions on everything. It was definitely what I needed. Surprisingly, I finished it all. The potatoes and corn beef hash was perfectly seasoned that i didn't need to add ketchup or tapatio.3. French Toast - We didn't eat it until we got home, and it was fire. Their syrup was amazing as well. The bread was fluffy and not overly eggy.4. Pancakes - just like the French toast, it did not disappointIf I am ever in the area, I would definitely want to come back. Highly recommend.“
