I'm a big time breakfast guy and I've never been disappointed. Moons Over Myhammy is my personal Achilles. It's just so freaking good!
I never really think of them all that much but every time I've been in I was pretty happy with what I got. [Reply]

They have this incredible Crab Rangoon. That dish isn't even really Chinese as far as I know, it's Americanized Chinese food. And then these guys use spice combinations that they learned growing up in households that do traditional Hispanic dishes. So...I'll just stick with Oriental. [Reply]

With you there.
We have a place like that in Phoenix: Chino Bandido. It's frigging good. [Reply]

The last time I went to Denny's, they pissed me off and I left because I got tired of waiting after 10 minutes for someone to take my order for take out. I would of sat down, but my wife was still fresh off a c-section.
The time before that I ate something that had mozzarella sticks inside a grilled cheese sandwich. It was a certain monstrosity.
While they pissed me off the last time, I'd still eat at the one off Metcalf if I were ever hungry when around there. The closest one to me, in Peculiar, is incredibly nasty. [Reply]

I think it's all down to management.
For a while we had a couple decent Denny's nearby, but they went way downhill. So far, that my aunt and uncle live within walking distance to one and sneer every time they drive by. I haven't been in a while as it started getting worse, but they tell me it's a neverending downslope.
OTOH, I know plenty of crappy IHOPs, but the one nearest me and the one nearest my parents [4 hrs apart] are both top notch. Probably my favorite breakfast out there, and I'm just around the corner from a couple of the highest rated breakfast joints in St. Louis [SW Diner, City Diner, and Uncle Bill's]. [Reply]

I'd have to agree.
The closest IHOP to here gets a lot of complaints in general. When I went, it was always the same time of the week and it was great every time. [Reply]
