Is Denny's where the truck drivers eat?
shareYeah.
shareDid this particular Denny's have a bar/lounge separate from the rest of the restaurant?
shareNope. I don't think Denny's serves alcoholic drinks.
shareSome of them did have a bar/lounge back in the day. There was one in Rosemead, California off of I-10 that closed sometime early 1990's. Apparently there was one in Ontario, California that closed in 2017 (I was never in that one.)
shareI did not know that, actually!
shareSambo's was a neat place that I liked as a kid, I didn't know it was a racist term, I liked the Indian boy and his tiger. It was like Denny's/Howard Johnson's. The last one closed in Santa Barbara (but that one was kind of a hipster cafe, soy sausages, that sort of nonsense...

I'm not a food complainer, I'm just not. In a world where people are literally starving to death every single day, complaining about food just seems so wrong.
But, I can recall only two bad restaurant meals I've had in my 66 years - one of them was at Denny's. Now, I've had breakfast there and it's pretty hard to screw up breakfast, but the dinner we had on a road trip was really really bad.
I think the problem is that I ordered something was supposed to be the kind of meal one would have at home, not a fast food burger and fries, which in retrospect, would have been the better option I didn't make.
You make good points about how wrong it is to complain about food, as well as the importance of ordering something you can't easily make at home (to avoid comparisons with your cooking.)
