I had heard good things about the Denton Steakhouse/Keno parlor, so my son and I checked it out yesterday. While I may have some reservations about recommending this place, I will go again to give it a second chance. I suspect it is pretty good.
We arrived around 7:30 p.m. on a Sunday. Walking in, we were met with a strong cigarette smell. If there was a non-smoking section to sit in I didn't see it.
We ordered the Daily Double burger (not a double burger, by the way, but a large hamburger patty and bun). The bun was fresh, which was a nice surprise, and the patty wasn't the pre-formed sawdust burger patty some places try to serve. It was real hamburger and it was good. It was a great deal too, $4.95 for a large burger and fries.
Our burgers were undercooked - probably cooked to medium. Restaurants should always cook to medium-well unless ordered otherwise. And the burgers were a little too greasy. You expect a certain amount of grease at any good burger joint, but this was just slightly too much.
The kicker was it probably took 30-45 minutes for our undercooked burgers to arrive. We enjoyed our food once it got there but didn't expect to kill an hour for a burger and fries.
I'll go back again over the lunch hour and see how things sort out then. I suspect the service will be more efficient.
