After three years of diligently having my Sunday breakfast here, and recommending the place to others....not any more. Sad, as their breakfast used to beat everyone but Maltby's -- and normally without the wait (the lunch has always been average at best).

Recently the potatoes (both home fries and hash) have on more than one occasion tasted like they were cooked in stale grease. The bacon is sometimes borderline jerky, and the water is straight out of the tap and tastes it, no attempt to filter it -- prolly why the coffee tastes the way it does.

The environment reminds me of a road house, minus the bar and poll. Sit at a table on the outer wall, or at any table up front near the parking lot and you either find yourself shivering on cold days, or sweating on hot. Recommend to the owner she should add fans or heat and you get sarcasm about how you should have found another table. Today I decided to do just that, but at another establishment. Denny's on 196th has a new manager, has been remodeled, has heat and a/c (that reaches all tables), and surprisingly prompt service (this time anyway), and grits as a replacement for greasy potatoes. Granted, the chicken fried steak is a smaller portion, but ehh, prolly healthier in the end.

Recently as a couple of months ago if I read someone recommending Denny's over Strickers I wouldn't have believed it, but believe it, Strickers sucks.

Open to suggestions.
