Denny's on Wabash

It was a Tuesday morning during the summer when I arrived for breakfast. The sign said "Please wait to be seated." While I waited, some of the regulars took it upon themselves to walk passed me and seat themselves.

I still waited. Not very long. The only waitress available seated me at a booth before wiping it down, then left to tend to other patrons. I was left without a menu for quite some time, until the manager himself gave one to me. Eventually I ordered the Meat lover's Omelet and some coffee.

I had been eating mostly salads all week at home, so my palate wasn't used to the flavor of sausage, ham, and bacon all at once, but when I took a bite of the omelet, the amount of salt was overwhelming. It was good, but way too salty.

Whether it was the combination of the meat, or if there was salt added in the cooking, I don't recommend the meat lover's omelet or arriving at a time shortly after the end of the early morning shift when there's only one waitress working.

  1. Over the years, I've had such awful experiences at both Denny's in Springfield that I refuse to give them my business to either one of them anymore.

    Although the establishment is clean, their service is unimaginably slow. Even once you've ordered, it takes forever to get your food. On top of that, they rarely get my order to the table correctly. It's usually missing something ... or is a completely different item than what I ordered.

    Every few years, my husband and I will think, "maybe it's changed" ... and we'll go back to Denny's. And every single time it's been the same bad experience.

    Seriously, there are just too many restuarants in Springfield to waste my time and money at Denny's.
