Denny's, Just a plain chain place

Here is my 2 cents. After  another year with the club I got a free meal. Pancakes eggs and bacon.
We also tried the California club sandwich.
I must say this was very good. Avocado, turkey toast etc.

I did notice the bacon is sliced very thin and they give you small eggs. Pancakes were fluffy. Except for portion it was good.
My waitress did a very good job. BUT the host was terrible.. You could tell he did not want to be there. No smile just going thru the motions.
Over all it is just a cookie cutter place that tourist with no adventure or imagination frequent. Typical of floridians.

Mccarthy BBQ, if there was a heaven for carnivores this is it

This is the BEST place for Ribs and Chicken. That all they do. CASH ONLY. One table and take out.
NO sign. On the corner. Seek with your nose. Served with white bread on paper plate or aluminum foil. Plain, mild or hot sauce. The quintessential  HOLE IN THE WALL JOINT!!!
Half slab of ribs 18.00 full slab 25.00..
When you eat  this fall off the bone meaty ribs, If there was a heaven this is the place for carnivores..

Cracker Barrel, Good basic southern food

Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. Well if you are looking for a hearty breakfast here you go.  French toast, eggs done well, meats are tasty, coffee is hot and refilled. John,our server, did a great job. For a breakfast fare this is a good place. Just note most locations are next to or near a major highway easy to get to. This place does the trick to fill the belly and satisfied the taste buds.




Twin Peaks, Loud bar, good pot roast

Here is some chit chat and my 2 cents on the food....Well folks after reading other reviews , I did not have high hopes for this place.  But I got a free meal because of my birthday. ( signed up with the e club). I was given a choice of pretty much anything on the menu. A full entree. This is better than most others. Others only give you a appetizer or dessert plus you must buy something.

So I went here on a friday at 1130 AM.  Most places are empty.  WOW the parking lot was full and there was a short line. I was truly amazed. ......I was seated quickly. My server was Taylor.

A note...this is a MAN's sports bar, 72 TV's, lots of beer, All of the servers are young hard bodies sexxy wenches. Taylor I must say was an outstanding waitress. I was expecting a dumbo BUT got someone just under a Einstein.
She was smart, quick and attentive. Actually one of the better servers that I have encounter since writing my reviews.

Now the food. I did a bit of research and decided on the pot roast.
I was again dumbfounded.  This was delish. There was potatoes & carrots. ....Green beans with a crunch,cooked with some bacon on the side. The beef was  fork tender. Melted in your mouth. Except for my Mom and my own recipe very good stuff.
The place was very noisy with older rock'n roll music and folks trying to talk above it.
But over all a good experience and good food.

Perk and Brew, big meatball big flavor

Here is my 2 cents on the food. Well I stopped in on the whim and saw  the big meatball and some Spanakopita on the menu. I said why not gamble. I gambled and won big time.
The big meatball was slathered with red sauce... delish.
Along with a melted cheese. It was fork fall apart tender. Not too spicy not too much garlic just right. A mixture of the proper ground meats. Over all outstanding.
I had a little plate of spanakopita. They were so tasty with the phyllo dough.
A very labor intensive process. But so good. I wish a bigger serving.
There is a variety of italian soda and coffee for you drinking pleasure.
The staff was great.
I will definitely be back for more.

First Watch, only to watch your waist and watch good money down the hole

Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. Over all the quality is good. The staff was excellent.....Value for your money just sucks. I see why it was full of knucklehead floridians.( no out state license plates) On whole they have no idea of good food or getting your value.
I was here at 1115 AM. I had to wait 5 minutes for a table. That's ok food must be great and value too...WRONG.....
I did not realize that this was a HEALTHY food eatery.. MY mistake..I was SO wrong.
I had to ask for plain white sugar for my coffee. It was given to me in a little side dish.  :-(
Only brown sugar on the table.
I got the beefeater sandwich
.  Where is the beef?????? it was very thinly slice med rare BUT hardly any food for a real man to eat. It was good quality. BUT for  9 Bucks give me some food.
The so called horseradish on side that SUCK. Creamy and  NO FLAVOR..... NONE.
There was a salad of sorts on my plate. Just some over price greens with a splash maybe balsamic dressing. I got more on request.




Over all one of the worse value meals ever.  I finished this in one swoop no take homes.
Let the money squanders and health nuts have this chain. Never more for me...

The Beef Guy, good food good value

Here is my 2 cents on the food. Good food good value. I got the pork tenderloin sandwich.
WOW it was cooked to perfection and was TWICE the size of the bun. Excellent for the wallet and tummy.
I also got a italian beef to go.  MMMMM meat was a plenty, it was moist and tender. Delish flavor..
French fries also good. Not plain a added flavor so it was  tasty.
So for easy on the wallet good for the tummy come on down.
