My husband and I have been together for almost 7 years and he is
always telling me about this place.  We finally went there last night.
I really was not impressed.  It was no different than any other sub
shop.  Really, to me, all sub shops are the same.  I mean how can any
 sub shops make subs different than other sub shops?  I don't think it's
possible except for using more meat than others.

I reviewed this restaurant before but want to do it again.  We ate here
Saturday evening and took a friend along with us.  We were lucky enough to be a part of their 40th anniversary and were treated to a free piece of birthday cake.  On this evening, they also has 3 big parties going on so the place was packed, not an empty seat to be had.  Our waiter, I believe his name was Devin, had a great personality and did a wonderful job of serving.  This is not to say that with it being so busy that there wasn't a wait between courses but it wasn't too bad of a wait.  Devin also made a couple of meaningless mistakes but it could have been a lot worse for as busy as they were.  Robert Irvine of Restaurant Impossible would have been pleased with the overall performance of this reataurant on this evening.

HOME OF THE AWARD-WINNING CHICKEN RIGGIES
 
 
We ate here last week.  John ordered the Chicken Riggies and I ordered the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo.  This was our first time dining at this casual, family friendly restaurant.  I tasted John's riggies and can definitely see why Teddy's has won awards for this dish.  The Alfredo was out of this world delicious too!  The next time we go, I will be getting the Riggies!

Denny's Oneida, NY

Denny's has added the build your own burger and shakes.  My husband and I decided to build our own burgers.  The way it works is the server gives you a litlle order form to fill out.  You pick what you want on your burger.  Well, my husband built a double cheeseburger which should have consisted of  2 hamburgers.  He only got one burger on his sandwhich.  I wanted a potato bun not potato bread.  So, we let the waitress know it was wrong.  She said, "Oh, that was my fault, I wasn't paying attention."  So, she asked if we would like to have her fix it and my husband said no, he just wanted to make sure he wasn't being charged for the extra burger which, he was not.  So, when we were almost done with our meal, the waitress comes over and asks if we were going to want coffee or dessert.  We said no and she said. "Ok, I will bring you your check but there is no hurry."  It's a good thing there was no hurry because we still didn't have the check by the time were done with our meal.  We waited and waited.  Finally, I told my husband that I had to go to the ladies room and if she didn't bring the check by the time I got back, we would go to the counter.  Upon my return, my husband was already at the counter where we stood for at least 5 more minutes before anyone noticed we were standing there.  We really could have just walked out and not paid.  So, the person that finally noticed was our missing waitress.  She said " Oh, I didn't give you your bill?"  Wow what a dunce. Needless to say, along with being brainless, she was left tipless. So, we finally get out of there to find the manager standing out in the parking lot talking to someone in a car as if he hadn't a care in the world.  Really?
