I'd put the commas in, same as the English.
}*Denny's* Qe'Daq *Hwy* loSmaH wa' maghom wej *Saturday each month*
You still need to put the timestamp at the beginning of the sentence and
think carefully about the function of each noun that isn't part of the
subject or object.
Hoch jar *Saturday* wejDIch, *Denny* Qe'Daq *Hwy* loSmaH wa'Daq maghom
"The third saturday of every month, at Denny's restaurant, on Hwy 41, we meet."
In English you would put the time and or place at the end. Not in Klingon.

}HutmaH Soch
{*Denny's* Qe' 'o' pa'Daq} "in the back room of Denny's restaurant"
Have another look at section 3.4 to get your noun-nouns in the right order.
A lot of people seem to reverse them.
There is no main clause in this 'sentence.'
