Rob's 2026 Veteran's Day Online Restaurant Review
Before I get started, I want to take this opportunity to THANK EVERY RESTAURANT who participated in the 2026 Veteran's Day Free Meal Handout to all the veterans and active duty people in every branch of our military. Now, for my review...
5 AM Breakfast at Denny's in Koreatown
As always, Denny's has one of the best breakfasts in America. Its also one of the most expensive as a few Sunday's ago I treated myself to a Denny's breakfast right before NFL and it was $30.00 for everything. In the past, the Denny's Grand Slam breakfast was tough to beat and always left you full. As you can see, they no longer serve toast with the Grand Slam breakfast, so I left less than full. Still though, the food and service were both excellent; I'm just a little disappointed about the lack of toast for breakfast. The actual cost of this meal with OJ is almost $20.00. I'm grateful to Denny's for the free breakfast and feel genuinely sorry for all the employees who have to put up with the 70,000 homeless people in LA every day. Final Grade: A-
Lunch at Little Ceasars on 7th Street in LA
Excellent pizza and 20 ounce tea. Not a bad lunch from the Detroit pizza company. They were very busy when I placed my order and was told it would be a 20-25 minute wait. Lots of people in the waiting room and standing outside. Much to my surprize, my food was handed to me in ten minutes! Now that's service. I walked it home and ate it while watching YouTube videos on my computer. The actual cost of this meal with tax (ALL prepared food is taxed!) is about $15.00. Final Grade: A
Dinner at In-N-Out Burger in Venice
I couldn't believe the number of people hanging out and around this establishment when I walked in. There must have been over 100! It was packed! 20 Minute wait for my food, but the service was excellent and very friendly, as always. I didn't feel like eating in a restaurant where everyone was packed in like sardines, so as I walked to the bus stop, my bus pulled up. Again, I got onto a bus where we were all packed in like sardines with no open seats, so I decided to eat my burger & fries while standing up on the bus ride home. Shades of Berlin... The food was excellent and the pink lemonade quenched my thirst real good. The actual cost of this meal with tax is about $12.50. Final Grade: A-
