" I'm wondering why they have a to-go option, but.. their phone line is busy 24/7. I wasn't aware Denny's was the most social restaurant on the planet. "

" Um...anybody else have any problem getting a handicap parking spot? Seeing the three hispanic kids jump out of a truck reserved for handicap only after mintes before cutting us off in traffic is bad enought.
Yet there is only three spaces to begin with...nice to have a new place to eat.
Well, if you can get to it without a hike. "

" Only thing I don't like about Gaby's is the annoying
loud weekend music. Hard to take old friends out for breakfast and chatting, raising our voices above the one-man band. "

" The first problem will be in the small labor pool, druggies, kids that don't care cause they're moving to Tucson . . . and old timers that just don't care. I worked in three of our restaurants, washing dishes. Good help is hard to find.

Some Management treats the help so poorly that
it helps to sour the attitude, too!

I wish Denny's, El Coronado, Brick's, Gaby's and many more the Best of Luck! "

" We waited several days to let the Dennys employees get thier feet wet...went there Sunday and have to say that I have no complaints....waitress (Jen Jen) was great, service was timely, and food was good....and this with the restuarant being just about full to capacity when we went in.
Jerrys will do alright, but Dennys is a good addition to the valley....I worry about places like Gabi's though....hopefully they will keep going. "

" Kathy you stated you would go to Bricks for a steak, my tastes run in a different direction. Worst food I have ever had came from Bricks and no apology for frozen baked potaoes and meat. Been there about 6 times and each time it was bad. My experience at Denny's was good enough food and service but the loud mouth fellow at the next table trying to impress the waitress, give me a break. I personally do not want to see anyone business go under. "

" I finally went to the "New" Denny's and all I can say is...A Denny's is a Denny's is a Denny's. Ho-hum to say the least. Coffee was cold too.

I can't imagine Denny's is serious competition to Jerry's after the "New" wears off. "

" What's wrong with corporate chains? I would be all for having as many big name restaurants as possible. It would be nice to have a selection of places to eat besides mexican, mexican, mobile mexican, and burgers. "




Jerrald wrote on Feb 9, 2009 3:22 AM:

" There are a few remaining Jerry's restaurants in the state, and while the idea of having our very own Denny's is quite exciting, I hope for the sake of not becoming another town of giant corporate chains that Denny's does not quash the Jerry's customer base and make it go out of business. Silly as it may sound, I would like the valley to have a little bit of identity and character that sets it apart. "

" After 1 visit I don't think I will be back there in a very long while! The food is great and all. BUT the service is very bad! At our table we only had utensils for 2 people and we had a family of 4. Waited for 1/2 hour to get other utensils. When the food came I asked for OJ. Waited for 1/2 hour to get that also. No coffee refills at all. Waitress wasn't cool! I looked around but couldn't find any suggestion box! STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS! "

You might try dining at the Morenci Motel. The food is good, as is the service, and they have lowered their prices. (For awhile there the prices were so high they reflected the inflated price of the copper.) "

" If you want proof of the type of people that now reside in the Gila Valley, just read the comments on this article. Low class and no class is becoming more and more apparent. Some think they are so righteous that they probably believe the Valley should have been "translated" (raised to heaven) long ago. Others, only have to drive through and realize the truth. Arrogance and ignorance prevail. It becomes painful to read and watch the degradation. Neighbor opposing neighbor. Just read the average news. Gripe, Arizona now covers the whole Valley. "

" I enjoyed our visit to Denny's. Our waitress, Lacey R. was very prompt and polite. I also had other servers ask us if we needed anything and it was at a busy time of day. our food took a little bit to come out, but it was hot and delicious! I even searched for hairs (yes, I'm one of those people) and nothin'! That's impressive. I liked the food and will go back. "

" For all the places I've been in my long career, the Safford/Thatcher area is the worst for service and polite servers.
It would seem to me that the people managing these restraunts are to blame. If you get a rude emplyee, fire them and get a better one.
Thanks to FMI there should be plenty of people wanting jobs.
I hope these people realize how stupid it was to open a reteraunt in times like these. "

" My family and I went there on Monday night for dinner waitress was great for someone who is learning my family finished their meal before I even got mine because I recieved the wrong order then the manager was so kind to let me know I would not be charged for the wrong order since I did not eat it however I was charged for the one I ate even though I waited a total of 1.5 hrs for it. There are to many people in Safford that need jobs for these guys to not learn fast. "

Please remember that for one week all of the employees heard that at Denny's Customers come first! "

Its new. Give it time.. wrote on Jan 26, 2009 12:29 PM:

" Remember how crazy and busy Arby's was just a few months ago when it first re-opened? Denny's of course will be busy, packed and seem "slow serviced" for a few weeks until valley residents get their "fix" and then it will slow down and become more relaxed and enjoyable. Just like other new restaraunts that open wherever they may be. When the new steakhouse opens, I'm sure it will be the same way. Give places time to settle down b4 making negative judements. "

" We tried to eat there on Wednesday. We got there at 6:15 and got our table by 6:30. It took 20 minutes for someone to come to the table and take our drink & appetizer order. Another 20 minutes to get the drinks and an additional 15 minutes to get our nachos. The nachos were cold and had soda spilled on them too. Our food never came out!! Finally around 8:45 we left and went to Sonic. I will never go back. "

" Yup,
I'm probabally like most people.."great a new place to dine." Yet, I'm not sure if anyone else noticed; Safford is starting to look like a corporation oriented community.
I actually miss the ol' Mom and Pop places. Like Brick's on 191 and the local Mexican resturants.
So no..I'm not impressed with another Walmart / McDonalds type company coming into town.
Hey..place looked popular as I drove by today. Seen one Denny's, seen 'em all.
Open 24 hours?
Wow!
Safford's big time now. "




Also Disappointed wrote on Jan 23, 2009 10:45 PM:

" We love eating at Denny's restaurants, too! We were disappointed in the quality and portions of food on Friday evening Jan. 23rd. The food was barely warm, but the service and coffee were good. It was clean and it was busy. I hope that they improve the food quality as they work to get the operation working properly. We understand that it is a new operation and that they need to get things finalized. Good luck! "

" I, too, am glad that we've added a new place to eat. Remember when we had Ricardo's and the Tiki and the old A & W and the place that looked like a Wienersnietzel (forgive the spelling) and the Serv-a-burger and the old Manor House? We once had lots of different--and good--places to eat. Denny's is a nice addition to the not so many places we have now. "

The bathrooms are even clean and nice unlike some of these other places in the valley and have clean eating utensils. HA! "

" As long as they keep the restaurant clean like those in the city, it will succeed. I would think that coffee will be served as will the normal Denny's menu. Let's hope anyway. Coffee is a major drink for many, which includes de-caff. I love the taste and smell!!! "
