Celebrate At Denny's With a $25 Gift Card #Giveaway

Disclosure:  Denny's provided me with products for this article, as always all opinions are 100% my own.

My family loves switching things up, like eating breakfast at dinner time for example. Denny's has always been our go to restaurant for that. I love the fact that no matter what time of day - 24/7, I can take my family to Denny's and know that I'll get the same delicious meal in a clean, family friendly environment.

Eating at Denny's is like a mini celebration when we all go out to dinner. Thinking about it, makes me miss all those times when my son was young and we would sit around laughing and having fun over breakfast for supper at Denny's.  Neil and I will still run up there at the strangest hours to get a late night bite.

And when we're out of town, on the road we're sure to find a Denny's anywhere we go. Did you know, there are over 1,600 Denny's in the United States?  To find the one nearest you, visit http://dennys.com/#/location.

With the 4th of July week upon us, there will be lots of celebrating going on.  Go America!!!  A lot of you will have family visiting for the long weekend so why not save yourself some time and sanity and take them to Denny's.  It's affordable enough to take the whole family and they'll love you for it.  You don't have to tell them that you're saving yourself a lot of work. :)  And remember Denny's is "America's diner" that's always opened.  There is something on the menu for every one at Denny's, they have much more than breakfast to offer their guest.  Don't take my word for it, just take a peek at their mouth watering menu here: http://www.dennys.com/.

Here's another reason to smile.  Kids eat FREE on Tuesday nights from 4 to 10 PM with the purchase of an adult entree of $4.00 or more!!  Denny's is an affordable option for any family meal, with regular kids' meal pricing at around $3.29

Win Your Own Denny's Prize Pack

My friends at Denny's want to give one Cotton Pickin Cute reader a $25 gift certificate to Denny's.  The winner will also receive two of the cupcake drink cups filled with a sweet surprise, it's candy - shhh...don't tell anyone.  The cups, which are available in stores for $1.99 each with the purchase of a drink, are complete with a red and white striped straw and are great for milk, juice, water or even to bring snacks on the go.

Grand Opening for new Pollo Tropical in #Jacksonville

Disclosure:  I received a press kit including a meal pass to facilitate this post. All opinions are 100% my own. 

Pollo Tropical is opening it's fourth (4th) location in the Jacksonville area on Friday, June 20th. The newest location will be in Bartram Park at 13776 Old St. Augustine Road. Lucky for you there is a giveaway involved, you just have to keep reading to find out more.

You know the grand opening is going to be a great party just from the fun press package I received!

I can't believe I haven't been to one yet! Shocking since I love trying new foods, and Caribbean-inspired food sounds so tantalizing!  But never fear, I'm fixin' to get my jerk on. Just look how appetizing their dishes look.

What is Pollo Tropical

Pollo Tropical is a Caribbean-inspired fast-casual concept known for its fresh, flame-grilled chicken marinated int a proprietary blend of tropical fruit juices and spices, as well as authentic, made-from-scratch side dishes, soups, salads and wraps.  My mouth's watering just thinking about it, what about yours?  These aren't your average fast food restaurants. We're talking made-from-scratch y'all, yet ready quick enough for drive thru service.

More on the grand opening

You know anything to do with Pollo Tropical is going to be fun right?  I mean that's what the Caribbean is all about.  This won't be any stodgy, boring old grand opening, there's going to be plenty of fun with Calypso music, robosurfers and local officials who will herald in the opening.

The opening celebration kicks off at 10am with a presentation by company leaders and local officials before the music starts and doors open to the public at 10:30.  A robosurfer contest on a simulated surfing machine will take place at 12:30pm, in which media personalities will compete for first, second and third place prizes in the amounts of $1,000, $500 and $250, to benefit their charity of choice.  See, what did I tell you!  And that's not all. The first 100 guests will receive a coupon for a free Create Your Own Family Meal redeemable on a future visit.  One guest will win Free Chicken for a Year, which includes 52 Be Our Guest cards redeemable for any sandwich or wrap combo, small TropiChop or quarter chicken with two sides. Plus there will be spin-and-win prizes. The grand opening festivities will continue through 9 p.m.

The new Bartram Park location will help better serve the Jacksonville community with their uniquely tropical twist on fresh, healthy, hand-prepared foods.  The new 3,800-square-foot restaurant will seat 90 guests and be open daily from 10:20 a.m. to midnight.

The grand opening sounds like it's going to be a whole lot of fun, so if you're in the Jacksonville area, I hope to see you there.  If you can't make it to the grand opening you can also receive a coupon for either a buy one, get one free quarter chicken with two sides or a $3 off a family meal by signing up for the Pollo Reward$ loyalty program.   I can't wait to come back with pictures to share with y'all.

Win a meal

And you know we're not done yet right.  Thanks to the wonderful folks at Pollo Tropical I'm giving away 1 FREE Create Your Own Family Meal with 2 sides and 1 Be Our Guest cards.  Que the confetti drop, now it's a real celebration.  Enter by following the simple instructions on the Giveaway Tools form below.  Be sure to do the mandatory entry or the others won't count.  Giveaway ends 6/27/14 @ 11:59 p.m. EST.

I can still remember what a big deal it was to go to Burger King with my parents and sister as a kid.  Like I said before it's still one of my favorite restaurants.  Neil and I tend to always get the same thing every time we go.  A Whopper with cheese for Neil and a Whopper Jr. with no onions, no cheese for me. 

Thanks to this Burger King review we took the opportunity to try out a couple of new items and it won't be the last time either.  I ordered the Chicken, Apple and Cranberry Garden Fresh Salad ~ made with crisp apples, dried cranberries, bleu cheese and Ken’s® Apple Cider Vinaigrette.  It was just as good as it sounded.  I've always been a big fan of Ken's dressing but this was the first time I'd tried this flavor and loved it!  Neil tried the  Ranch Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap ~ A flour tortilla filled with crispy, marinated white meat chicken, a three-cheese blend, and a combination of spring mix, romaine and iceberg lettuce, all topped with Ken’s® Ranch Dressing and he wasn't disappointed.  It got us out of our rut.  Now, there's no telling what we'll try next.

Visit the BK Website here FB here and Twitter here.

And here's the big news you've been waiting for.  One lucky CPC reader will receive their very own $25 Burger King Gift Card!!!

For your chance to win, just use the easy entry form below.  I can't tell you how many times it's been one of the easy to do extra entries is the winner (chosen randomly of course by Rafflecopter).
