You may have seen a story reporting that Lubbock was losing its remaining Denny’s location. Luckily for us, that simply isn’t true. When I saw the headline on another news outlet, it just didn’t feel right, so I immediately started investigating, and I think I found the source of the confusion.

Denny’s On Slide Is Here To Stay

I called Denny’s on Slide, and they picked up the phone right away (great sign), and I spoke with Rene (great name).

Why Denny’s In Lubbock Is A Beautiful Thing

Lubbock has surprisingly few 24-hour options for a city this size (and with this many restaurants). Denny’s is a great, affordable option for folks who work overnight shifts, people who want breakfast food not during breakfast (me), and well, we are a college town after all.

I have a lot of very fond memories with friends at Denny’s. The next time you want to have a great conversation over coffee any time you like, remember, our Slide Denny’s location is there for us. And please tell Rene that Renee says “Hi!”
