Don't mean to get defensive, BUT
- I waited, because my Mom, my sister and her 2 kids(who love Denny's and were excited about going) were all together, and I relaxed and enjoyed the time with them. Sorry that I don't really share a "East Coast" mentality that says you must be in and out, and can't enjoy the time. The free meal was as good a reason, as when I go out to Texas Roadhouse and wait for a good while for a meal that is not free. From the tone on this thread you would think people had committed heresy to go and take advantage of a good offer, and good food.

No worries man! It is your time and your stomach. I worked in the hospitality industry for ten years and we were always taught you are not selling them a meal or room you are selling them the experience. It sounds like you had a good experience with your family at a good price in a tough economy. That my friend is a win!

They even had pitchers of tomato juice at the bar on ice, and you could pour yourself a glass. Its not often that you see different juices available at no additional charge. Usually juices are my fav part of a large breakfast. The bacon wasn't paper thin, and they had eggs benedict, several quiches, souffles, and an omelet/waffle bar. I may make the trip again with the kids (although I'd probably pay 5 bucks for them to have a bowl of cereal...)

My wife swears by Golden Corral's breakfast...I could just never bring myself to go in there...I may have to change my ways. It's not like I have to go far either (the one behind FSK Mall is a few miles from my house).

Golden Corral is amazing, also should try Blue Moon Diner for breakfast, I hit it up on the regular.

I keep seeing a Golden Corral commercial where they're advertising a steak wrapped in bacon, which under normal circumstances would be great, but it looks so gross in the ad that it makes me want to become a vegan. Seriously, I don't know how they managed to do it, but they've somehow made a steak wrapped in freaking bacon look like a hockey puck with a Slim Jim tied to it.

But, if they do indeed have good breakfast then all is forgiven.

they shut down the GC in my town and I only ate there once. It wasnt great. The only thing that was decent was the pot roast and several of the desserts. I was very skeptical of going there for breakfast last week, as I'm a picky breakfast person, but my cousin insisted. I was amazed. I have to say, though it was a lot nicer establishment than the one have in Culpeper. I don't think Culpeper had the facilities to put on the type of spread they did in Charlottesville. I wouldn't expect all of them to be as good, but if your'e in Charlottesville you should definitely stop in.

I haven't eaten at Denny's in years, but back when i used to smoke a lot of pot i'd go there in the middle of the night and meet drunk bar whores and the food seemed like heaven. I'm almost scared to go now...

Yeah me and a friend went and got ours on Tuesday as well. I go to Denny's on occasion and it was nice to get a meal for free there, that was probably the first and last time our total bill was $4.12 haha. And we only had to wait about half an hour which wasn't that bad.
