Natasha was my wonderful server, providing attentive and friendly service that made my visit even more enjoyable. The food was prepared perfectly by Nancy, the cook, and everything was simply fantastic. I ordered my food, went to the restroom, and come back to my server bringing my food. Quick and efficient service. I highly recommend this Denny's for anyone looking for a great meal with excellent service in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Such a cute and clean spot. Popped in for breakfast while heading home on a long road trip. Had trouble deciding because everything sounded and looked amazing. Grandpa ended up choosing the cou try fried steak and eggs and I built my breakfast of bacon, eggs, potatoes and french toast. The portions were perfect to feel full without feeling sick or leaving food behind. (*Something we've struggled with on the roadtrip) Forgot to take before pictures and by the time I remembered all that was left was a plate scraped clean. Super excited to take a pecan pie with us for a roadside snack later.“
