My fiancee and I recently tried Hot Plate. It's located in the old Denny's that went belly-up recently, at Route 13 & Boulden Blvd.

It has the same furniture, but a slightly different decoration choice (Marilyn Monroe, older Rock-n-Roll photos, etc). Think "Hollywood Grill" but toned down... plus lots more hanging plants. LOL.

Let me tell you, the service is excellent! Which is the total opposite from when it was a Denny's (probably one reason the place died). Our waitress was on-the-ball w/ drink refills, asking us how our meal was... even the manager came out to check on us.

The food was really good, too. I had breakfast, and it was VERY yummy and filling. Their breakfast menu is limited (unlike IHOP, etc), but available all the time IIRC. My fiancee had the chicken finger panini, and she absolutely LOVED it - and it was huge!

I would recommend this place to anyone, even just to try it once. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have no complaints about the place, or my experience there.

I went there with my friend. we ordered a appitizer sampler. It was easy to tell that it was from frozen and cooked at the wrong tempreature because everything was greasy and the all had the same fry color.

I ordered the pretzel burger and my friend ordered a cheese burger. My burger was nothing special and the soft pretzel it was put on did not taste like a real pretzel.

While we were there, severalk customers would come in, look at the menu and leave.

Maybe they have gotten better now that they have been open for a while, but I did not like it there and felt they were overpriced for the quality of food.

I would not go back anytime soon, but you may like it..

I'll probably give it shot for breakfast, I work, if that is what you call it, just down the road from there.

i live in spitting distance...havent went there yet though...

wow. I'm sorry to hear about your experience there, paulusa302.

I've been there again recently, with a group of about 12 others (for a monthly meeting). I heard that someone's steak dinner was delicious. And the nachos was a gigantic plate of goodness (easily handled between 2+ people). Most of us had breakfast food there. I didn't hear anyone complain or dislike the food, nor the prices....

We'll all go back there again because everyone in the group seemed to like the place. Plus, Hot Plate is 2nd amendment friendly!

i'll hafta check that out. always like to visit new places and try some good grub.
