we wanted to try denny's for the first time, and we remembered there was on in the nuvali area. so we decided to have dinner there.
the place was very well lit, no weird smells or anything. sometimes restaurant menus and tables stink(kind of like a rag that hasn't been rinsed in a while), but denny's didn't have that. the staff were courteous and led us to a booth. 4.5 stars for the service, minus .5 because i asked the waiter if the wrap was spicy and he said no. it was. 😂
four sampler - i forgot the name of this dish, it's not in the menu or online because i think it's new. it's an appetizer plate with their fries, pancake puppies, chicken quesadillas and chicken fingers. fries were good, nothing special, not super hot tho. quesadilla's were also nothing special. the slices of green peppers were a bit too over-powering for me. the chicken fingers were heavy, but good. as for extra bbq bourbon sauce for these, the red sauce they put in the plate didn't really go well together with the breeding. now the pancake puppies were delicious. i literally fell in love with them. they've got a crispy, brown exterior, and a light, sweet, semi-moist center. these were the star of the show. they could have added a bit more caramel dipping sauce, but it was okay.
oreo milkshake - typical milkshake made of ice cream and bits of oreos. was just a too thick, maybe not blended enough because it wasn't going up the straw anymore. yummy and big chunks of cookies.
lumberjack slam - ham, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausages, toast, hash browns, 2 eggs and 2 pancakes. everything was good, i just found it weird that one bacon strip was super crispy and the other was soggy. the hash brown was disappointing. it looked big because it was spread out, but it was really thin. it was delicious though, crispy and well-seasoned. the pancakes however, were craaaazy good! see how thick and fluffy they are? theytasteas good as they look, and we like them way more that ihop's pancakes. they're not dense, or cakey.
skillet wrap - kind of like a burrito, but more in the nacho-tasting zone. it was a bit too spicy for me. again i asked kuya waiter if it was and he said no. so it kind of surprised me. the egg was a good touch and made ittastemore like a breakfast burrito. the pepper jack cheese sauce, which i thought would be the spicy part, surprisingly wasn't even that spicy. it's a good dish, but after a couple of bites, you sort of get tired of the repetitive taste. definitely too heavy for me. i'd suggest this if you're super hungry and you like spicy food.
overall, it was an incredibly filling meal. my pants were too tight by the time i stood up and i fell asleep in the car ride going home. a bit on the expensive side, as are ihop and friday's. it's your typical american breakfast place, expect to walk out full. try it if you're tired of ihop and you want to eat somewhere new.
