Denny's - Ripon

I stopped by during the late-night shift, which can be challenging with minimal staff, but both the waiter and the cook did an excellent job. Although I had to wait a bit to place my order, I appreciated that the cook wanted to ensure everything was cooked right rather than rush things and serve subpar food. I took some time to relax while reading a book and sipping coffee, and I didn't mind the wait because the food was well worth it. The late-night cook clearly takes pride in their work. The crepes were light, fluffy, and had just the right hint of crispiness at the edges, topped with delicious strawberries. The eggs were great, cooked perfectly, with a nice texture. The hash browns were crispy, flavorful, and held together well without falling apart. The bacon was cooked just right—crispy but still tender, not overly brittle. They even provided water for my service dog and were very kind about it. I enjoyed my book, finished my coffee, and lingered until I felt ready to leave. If you get the chance, definitely give it a try; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised too!

The food was excellent and beautifully presented, much better than what you'd typically find at other Denny's. My father-in-law ordered the salmon and was very pleased with it. Carmen also mentioned some new dishes and suggested we try the steak. While I chose breakfast this time, I almost went for the steak. I was a bit hesitant about how it might be cooked (I've had some questionable experiences with steak at other Denny's), but she assured me it would be great, so I plan to order it next time. My wife ordered the pot roast and made me try some; I really wish I had gone with that dish instead because it was delicious. I highly recommend this Denny's; it's truly a gem!

This restaurant offers a fantastic breakfast along with an abundance of coffee. My waitress, Jenna, was exceptional; even though the place was busy, she consistently made sure I was taken care of. I will definitely return!

Been to this Flying J a few times but never ate at the Denny's. The service was awesome, the plate of nachos was delicious! Had my drink refilled before it was even half gone. I'll definitely be coming back here in the future!

Burger was good but the pot roast had almost no meat and was sour...was thinking of sending it back but too tired for the hassle. Maybe pass on the pot roast? *Update* we ate multiple meals here over our 34 and everything was spot on. That sizzling spicy dinner skillet was surprisingly tasty and of course my wife was very very happy that they had that salmon. It's hard to get from what I hear. So to wrap it up they must have tightened up that kitchen. I have to mention the wait staff was wonderful everytime I have been here.
