Denny's - Salinas, CA

So Jennifer got tickets to the California Rodeo Salinas yesterday evening. It was a blast! Talk about rodeo friend reunion. Good to see familiar faces and catch up with old friends. Anyhow, all that socializing brought on some hunger! At about 11:30pm Jennifer and I realized our option was pretty much...



Yay. It was surprisingly busy inside - maybe because the rodeo was in town. But anyway we got seated about 5 minutes after our name was put on the waiting list. The Late Night menu was pretty limited. I thought the full menu was available 24 Hours a Day. I guess I was wrong...



I ordered the Sampler. Do notice a trend in what I have ordered lately? Lots of fried food - I seriously need to break that habit. I need more vegetables!! Anyhow, back to the the Sampler. The Mozzarella sticks were nice and hot, pretty standard tasting. The chicken strips were good but the barbecue sauce is what really made the meal! Very tasty. The seasoned fries had a nice crunch. Overall nice... How do you screw up fried food anyway. I promise I will order more healthful next time.



Jennifer debated between the Super Bird and Moons Over My Hammy. I think she wanted the Super Bird all along but just liked saying Moons Over My Hammy... :) So the Super Bird came and it looked just right. For those of you not familiar with the Super Bird it is thinly sliced turkey breast with melted Swiss cheese, bacon strips and tomato on grilled sourdough. Jennifer also asked for the barbecue sauce on the side... we both liked it - I wonder what brand it is?

All in all Denny's was a pleasant experience. I mean for a late night eat it filled our belly's without breaking the bank. I give Denny's in Salinas 2 thumbs up for friendly wait staff, quick service and hot food.

lol... I used to order Moons Over My Hammy back in the day just because I thought it was funny too. But I'm not a big fan of ham so I'd say "Moons Over My Bacon" and half the time the waitress didn't get it. Good times.
