- As soon as I walked in to this Denny's, I knew something was wrong. The attitude of those inside was somehow off, and it smelled a bit different than usual. A quick perusal of the premises revealed why: there were no ashtrays. Yes, that's right, apparently there's no smoking in restaurants in Maryland. After six hours on the road, I couldn't have a cigarette with my coffee.
Speaking of the coffee, it was rather sub-standard. It was way too hot (indicating it had been sitting on the burner for a while) and tasted quite bitter. In addition, the mug had the new logo (tho' to their credit, the restaurant had the old logo on their sign outside).
Practically every employee who walked past my spot at the counter asked if I needed to see a menu. At first I thought they were being helpful, but then the same employees kept asking me. Then they kept trying to refill my coffee even after I asked them not to. Trust me when I say that it was lousy coffee.
As I was leaving, I happened to notice a table full of the local counter-culture youth. They were quiet and well behaved. A gripping reminder of the horror of a non-smoking Denny's.

- This was another strange-feeling Denny's. I think it might be a Maryland thing. There was no counter to sit at! At first I thought I would be forced to not only refrain from smoking, but sit at a booth as well; but the waitress asked me what my smoking preference was. I told her, and she took me off to a little room in the back of the restaurant. It was pretty much just a closed-off atrium. It was noisy and cold in there but at least I was able to enjoy a good nicotine fix with my cancer-ridden brethren. Fight the power!
