Our Visit to Denny's

Americaโ€™s Diner and DreamWorks Animation Team Up

July 30, 2015

Macaroni Kid Review
We were at Denny's Rowland Heights recently on a Kids Eat Free Tuesday night.  While we have visited Denny's many times in the past, this was our very first time taking advantage of the kids eat free Tuesdays (available at all Denny's on Tuesdays 4-10PM).   It was really a great deal - for every ($4+) adult entree, we received an accompany kid's meal free! 

 

From the moment we were seated, our kids really enjoyed the new kids menus, which includes engaging games and activities that are bright, fun, and filled with DreamWorks Animation Characters.   This particular menu focused on several new and familiar DreamWorks themes that every kid should love and recognize, including HomeDinotrux, and Mr. Peabody and Sherman.  We look forward to future themed menus such as ones inspired by How to Train a Dragon and more.

 

Overall, we had a great time as a family finishing the games together.  It was effective in keeping my children (ages 6, 3 and 1) entertained, happy,  having fun during our dinner.   In terms of the food options, we were pleasantly surprised  how easy it was to customize and build your own meal.  We had a great experience, and will definitely be returning to Denny's soon.

Denny's, America's iconic family diner, announced the launch of a new kids menu featuring much-loved characters from DreamWorks Animation’s award-winning film and television franchises.
