Denny's 2468 menu

Let me preface this by saying I LOVE A GREAT DEAL. I know Denny's is...well Dennys.  Kinda like that old pair of tennis shoes in your closet that still serves a function so you cant bear to part ways with it and gosh darn it, its still comfortable too!  So when they came out with their new promo of menu items for 2, 4, 6, 8 dollars, I have been trying to find time to get over to there and see if it lived up to the hype.  

Here is a link to their special promo menu:

I wasnt too hungry so I just got 2 items off the menu, the cheese fries and the red white and blue poppers. See below.  

 

Our wavy-cut French fries smothered in cheese sauce and shredded Cheddar cheese.  For 2 bucks, an equal portion size.  I dont really like the new shape of their fries...what was wrong with the old straight fries?  Cheese sauce was pleasant.  I cant imagine eating a whole plate of these fries b/c they are kind of heavy but nice mild flavor to the cheese sauce.

(Couldnt find it on their online menu)I wasnt sure that I would like these but the white chocolate chips drew me in.  Plus it was fried and in tiny portions.  Basically had no choice in the matter.  They were fresh out the fryer when they arrived on the table.  Nice crunch on the outside, soft and cake-donutey on the inside.  There were probably about 5-6 in the cup.  The brown stuff on the side?  pancake syrup.

I'd go back and try the biscuit and gravy with eggs or hash brown for $2.  Seriously, 2 bucks???  What else were you gonna do with that pocket change?
