Finally, someone else who agrees that you could eat well at a Flying J buffet because you had choices ESPECIALLY at the salad bar.

trucker_101 Thanks this.

Denny's has never been trucker friendly. Their menu is not geared to our tastes ( well, breakfast is OK at times ), but does list cheap tasting meals, that are high priced.The atmosphere in a Denny's is terrible, also. Too office-like. I like to relax as I enjoy a brief rest.
When I eat, I want a nice, well balanced GOOD TASTING meal, and I do not mind paying a little extra for what I want .
No more fuel for me at The "J".scottied67 Thanks this. -
You can find most of Denny's menu in the freezer at wal-mart
All you need is a freezer and microwave in your truck and a hand drawn Denny's sign -
Why the dislike? Try going into the truck stop Denny's at Flying J and walk right in and grab a menu and sit yourself down where you want. 9 times out of 10 the staff will ask you to get your butt up and go stand by the cashier and wait to be seated. \
Understand: it's a dang truck stop not a 5 star fine cuisine Ruth's Chris steakhouse or something lol with dark interior and candlelight, harps players strumming as you wait in the sitting room next to the teak bar.
I like the food OK but I dislike Denny's because Denny's dislikes me (and a lot of other types like me, ie. truck drivers, construction workers etc). -
They used to have a recipe contest where people could submit recipes for potential addition to the Flying J menu. I still can't believe they gave a guy a $250 Flying J gift card for his brilliant recipe of adding pulled pork to a Cuban sandwich. -
One of the reasons I dislike Dennys is it is now in virtually every J as well as some pilots and elsewhere. The menu's the same. The service usually is poor to none. The food is bland and expensive.
At least when there was a different restaurant at different stops, the menu changed. How often can you eat a whateverbird sandwich or try and figure out the configuration of a Grand Slam?
Gimme a greasy spoon every time... -
What are so great about Flying J's food? Over 6 years driving and never ate at a good flying j. They were last in the line of the major truckstop chains. Not a huge fan of Denny's, but way better than country market.

Personally,I would find a good buffet more than once in awhile,no,not eat till ya puke,but,pork,skinless chiken,et.,and,the prie was right. I DO miss thee breakfeast buffets at the old J,however,they can still be found at other T.S."s.

I ordered the breakfast burrito and will never order it again. No joke, was the worst I ever had, and took a few bites and that was it. The taste was horrible, and I think they microwaved it being all soggy and all.. Also tried an omelette that I didn't like.
