★★★★☆ 4.0 Melanie Trujeque · Jan 2026

This is a delivery only restaurant run by Denny’s so you have to start your expectation there. When I think of Denny’s, I think of either breakfast or late night cravings and that’s exactly what this is. It’s not a five skill grilled cheese restaurant. However, if you’re craving a good grilled cheese with bacon and some fries, I would say this is a good place to get it for a great price. You can also get onion rings, and those are basically the only things that I’ve tried. But those things when I’m craving them they’ve been good. I did have one time where my fries were forgotten, but they made it right and it was re-delivered. So overall, I’m giving it four stars. I’ll add a picture next time I order.

Sincerely, I have to agree with the other two reviews. The prices are high for what you get. The food is often over cooked/ burnt. The service is very slow. Attitude is often lack luster. If you are really in the mood for disappointment, this is the right place for you.. If not try Taco Cabana down the street. They at least try a little harder to make sure that you are happy. Enjoy your day, and happy dinning. 😊😊😊🫶🫶🫶
