Denny's Restaurant

My review is specifically for the Denny's Lounge.  I sometimes go to karaoke night here (which is just about every night).  I've mostly been on Saturdays and there is always an eclectic crowd of friendly people, some regulars, some newbies, but all are treated with respect by the staff and everyone who sings gets a hand.  This is one of my favorite places to go to sing - and they have one of the better books in the valley... However, I'm only giving 3 stars because the other 2 stars went up in smoke - literally.  The only way this place could be better (besides continually adding to their book) is if they only allowed smoking outside.  Some nights I've had to leave because it's so smoky.  Not good for the eyes or the lungs - or your hair when you get home and need to take a shower just to wash the smell out.  Yuck!

When I was younger and my grandparents lived on the northside of Nampa, Denny's was my beacon. When I saw that monument sign hovering over i-84, I knew I was not far from my grandparent's home.

Sure Denny's is Denny's but at the time it was heaven and I couldn't wait to have our first meal after arriving there. In my youth I recall having a kids pancake platter which always had a smiley face with whipped cream. My grandma would always point out that my pancakes were smiling at me and happy like she was to have me there. She was such a woman with her fiery red hair and an even more blazing personality.

Now it's a quick stop if on that side of town but it's still about the same quality I remember.

I miss my grandma!

Great service, great food for a chain box eating place. No complaints and much better than that scary Sherri's place. It was the only place open on Christmas when I was on a road trip.
