The side salad and soup were fresh and a lot larger portion than I planned on. My bf ordered the prime rib dip with added sautéed mushrooms, a side of mac and cheese add broccoli and it came with a side of cole slaw. Everything was so good. Even the au jus dip was flavorful.

“Price can't be beat. I love the $1.50 Hot Dog and drink. I get the hot dog (without the bun for gluten free) and the ice cream. For my drink I get root beer and make my own root beer float. Where else can you get dinner and dessert for under $5? My frugal side loves this.

Dietary restrictions: Hot dog without the bun can be gluten free (be careful with cross contamination potential).“

“I thought the Birria tacos were great, and the avocado salsa was excellent. If I lived here I would go back. We were there in the middle of the afternoon so the place was empty. Service was okay, it seems like food places today run skeleton crews so not a lot of customer service happens these days.“

“It was an amazing experience when I went with my mom, dad, and little brother. It was a very positive atmosphere and the staff was very kind and helpful seeing as they would check in with me and my family to see how things were, ask if everything was okay, etc. All with a positive attitude and timely manner! I recommend this Denny’s as it is very kid-friendly, has good timely service, and is very positive all around!“

“I had an outstanding experience at The Rock Wood Fired Pizza thanks to the exceptional service provided by Sarah H. From the moment she greeted our table, her energy set the tone for the entire visit. She was friendly without being overbearing, attentive without hovering, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure guests had a great time. It’s rare to find someone who strikes that perfect balance, but Sarah did it effortlessly.

Throughout the meal, Sarah checked in at just the right moments—never interrupting conversation, but always appearing when we needed something. She knew the menu inside and out, offering helpful recommendations and answering questions with confidence. Her timing was spot‑on, and every interaction felt personal rather than routine. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it shows in the way she treats her guests.

What stood out most was her professionalism paired with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. She made the experience feel smooth, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. Great food is important, but great service is what makes you want to come back—and Sarah H is exactly the kind of server who elevates the entire dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’ll absolutely be asking for her section again.“
