And who is the "HIM" who is basically "wronmg", and why are you basically right about this when you're basically "wronmg" about spelling? And who made you the pope anyway? |

Me, too, pretty much. One slight advantage of locations like Denny's/Stuckey's/even McDonald's for travelers is that within narrow limits the menu, food and ambience will be the same anywhere you find one in the US or Canada. Wow, I had no idea that Stuckey's was still around. All the ones in California have closed. |

IMHO, Dennys is just passable, many people like it for having the same stuff
wherever they go. Peronally I try to avoid these franchises, but if I must, I prefer Perkins, or sometimes Crackel Barrel or Bob Evans. wrote in message oups.com... sechumlib wrote: On 2006-06-12 00:01:47 -0400, (Todd Michel McComb) said: Many of the places mentioned in this thread are horrible; I would rather skip eating that day.

I would prefer Perkins but it is geographically limited. Dennys would
be my next choice over Cracker Barrel. Bob Evans I haven't been in for far too long to even evaluate.

There was a Cracker Barrel near where I worked and we went there a few times because some of the guys liked the salad bar, but the rest of the meals were so bad that we stopped going there. My one and only experience with Bob Evans was a breakfast (in Manasas) and it was pretty good. No complaints at all. |

It seems to me I heard somewhere that SMS wrote in article

Wow, I had no idea that Stuckey's was still around. All the ones in California have closed. I didn't intend to imply that they still existed; I was just using the name as a generic "road-side kill" categorizing a class of eateries. I, a lifelong Californian, can't remember ever seeing a Stuckey's here; to me they've always seemed to flow to the southeast corner of the US. -- Don Kirkman |

I didn't intend to imply that they still existed; http://www.stuckeys.com/search.php Indeed, there are none in California. Even in South Carolina (next door to its home state of Georgia), the standalone Stuckey's is almost extinct. Almost all of them are part of convenience stores, including the nearest one to me, the "Stuckey's at Hot Spot Shell of Enoree" along I-26 north of here.
