    On a trip to Minnesota from AZ and ate lunch and dinner at the same restaurant in Apple Valley. There was a huge difference in atmosphere and service between the two shifts. The waiter for lunch (2:30pm) was happy, smiled a lot and friendly. He took our drink orders right away and came back for our meal orders quickly too. The food was served in a timely manner even with a busy restaurant and was delicious. I couldn’t decide between French toast or the bacon avocado burger, so I knew when we came back for dinner that I’d get the burger. Dinner (10:15pm) was completely different. There were 5 tables waiting for food including us. There was 1 waiter and 1 cook. The cook kept leaving and going outside and just walking around the restaurant instead of cooking. Nobody’s food was coming out at all. It took 50 min to get our food and there were only 4 of us. The tables near us hadn’t even gotten their order taken and it had been 30 min. The kids mac and cheese was gross, the Bourbon burger had tomatoes and lettuce on it when asked not to, and my avocado bacon burger had no flavor so it was very disappointing. The waiter never checked on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything. If you want to go to this Dennys go during the day and not at night. Night service is horrible.

    I ate dinner here. It was very quiet and we were seated immediately. There was a very nice young man who was our waiter. Very personable and did a great job. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name. The food was average, and I have no complaints. Of course, it is a Dennys, so the food will be pretty average. Our food came out quick and it was hot.

    Denny's is great for a quick, delicious breakfast. I was mostly impressed with our server who was on his own with at least 10 tables. He made sure everyone got what they needed!

    Went for breakfast and ordered the value slam. 2 eggs 2 pieces of bacon and 2 pancakes. The eggs and bacon were not good at all and the pancakes were just ok. The waitress was very nice and she did an excellent job.

    A little late for Thanksgiving, but this was just perfect being I didn't have the "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner. Always a great experience when I come here. The staff is very friendly and provide great service. The food is almost always exceptional (I will admit, the stuffing wasn't to great). Would definitely come back.

    My daughter and I went to have brunch, server did no bring us utensils or napkins tables were dirty, napkins on the floor and when we ask e for utensils, servers gave us attitude. Miriam the server rushed us to pay because she had to leave and she could not clock out until we paid. The other workers saying bad words to each other, being playful no professionalism. The manager was rude and Miriam the server too. I had been there before but I wanted to try it once again maybe they had a bad day but it happened again so this is their normal behavior. Hopefully the district manager sees and says something , this is an opportunity to grow, train and develop. Better your customer service at this location.

    I got the Strawberry cream cheese crepes and they were delicious. The bacon was perfect and my eggs were cooked awesome. They were training our waitress and she was already so good right out the gate and the guy training her was excellent as well!

    Denny's is a regular in our lives. The food is good and really cheap. It's a great place to just hang out. The manager is really friendly, but when he gets really busy he can make a lot of mistakes with serving. We've had issues with our order many times with him, but I think that's only when we go after church and the place is packed. The store could definitely use some more workers, but not really their fault, they're hiring!

    Love the fact that it's open late night and you can still eat off the regular menu instead of only being able to order a select few items like what happened during COVID. Food came as ordered & was the appropriate temperature.; hot.. The waitress came around just enough to not be overbearing. She was very friendly & even gave me a to go cup of coffee with what was left in my pot.

    Fantastic eats at a great price. We had a skillet, omelette, and crepes, and most of it was perfectly cooked. The staff was helpful and efficient. Only criticism is the crepes seemed a touch undercooked. But we still devoured them. I've eaten a lot of places, and you really won't find better quality for $12-15 per person. Coming back again soon.

    Denny's is a part of our weekly outing with our grandkids. They just love going out for breakfast at Denny's. We can't say enough about how amazing the staff is. Denny, Brittany, Saul (and the whole staff )...are so nice and fun. They make our visit great. And the food is always very good too. Yup, we're big fans!

    Had the new Mac and Cheese, sooo good! Super Cheesy! Our server was very friendly and the manager was so helpful. Food was hot and fresh.

    Food was good They were short staffed so things took longer then normal.

  • 5/5 Hudson K. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service. They were able to seat us right away. Server was very nice, funny and prompt. Food was better than I've had at most diners (ie eggs over easy were cooked perfectly and hash browns ordered extra crispy were actually extra crispy). Would come here again when visiting the twin cities area.

    Was a lil spendy but it was very good. I ordered the patty melt. It was alot of food, could not even finish it all. The waitress was very nice.

  • 5/5 Andrew F. 1 year ago on Google
    Giving a 5star rating mostly because it was a free veterans day meal. It was honestly pretty good food and service though. I would recommend.

  • 5/5 Carol M. 1 year ago on Google
    Restored my faith in Denny's. The one in Burnsville was horrible the last time I was there. This one in Apple Valley was so good. Service was fabulous and the food was delicious. Will never go to the Burnsville one again and will go to Apple Valley from now on

  • 5/5 Kimberly S. 1 year ago on Google
    We come to Denny’s to see our bestie, Brittany quite often. She is the best server. She always knows what we order. She is so friendly and very personable with all her customers. Thank you Brittany for all the years of excellent service.

    Orange juice had I'm assuming beard hair on the glass, we received our order an hour after we ordered and it was cold. I had to hunt down the server just to get new warm food. Talked to manager, he took 12.99 email club discount off. That's it. He ( the manager ) was rude and abrasive. Asking what I was complaining about? After an hour and half we finally got warm food. The only apologetic person was a nice young woman/ waitress from another section. She is the only reason I didn't walk out. Our waiter was incompetent and the manager was a jerk.

    Gross. Windows dirty as hell. Brought our food but had to wait for silverware and when she did, it was togo plastic silverware. The only napkin was the tiny one the was in the to go package. Out of white toast, fresh fruit. Had to sit and wait for out check after our table was cleared. Asked for a to go box and was walked by at least 15 times before receiving. Honestly feel that we were treated the way that we were because we are not of hispanic nationality. Watched her wait hand and foot and a bunch of hispanics but ignored us. Brought is our food never asked how we were doing or hows the food. Dropped the packages of silverware on the table and walked away. Extremely poor service.

    Good food.Our server was a pro great guy hard working professional and very friendly

  • 1/5 Diana K. 2 years ago on Google
    The server said there were two new cooks alone. Only saw two servers. Eventually at the end of my hour and a half meal I saw, what I assume was a dishwasher, bussing tables. Pancake puppies came out after about 20 minutes. Were a little well done but not terrible. Not a fan of the cream cheese sauce being served directly on the plate, the old way of being on the side was better, in my opinion. It was almost 20 more minutes before we got the rest of our food. I got the appetizer sampler and it only came with 3 onion rings, which is ridiculous, even the server agreed with me. She offered to get me more, but I declined. If that's what it is supposed to get, then now I know. Server didn't write down my order, so not surprised my pancakes were missed. Came out very quickly, but when I buttered them, the bottom one was flipped upside down and had little black grease specks on it like it died in the window and they were trying to cover it up. My ten year old said it tasted fine, so I went with it. I waited a ridiculously long time for boxes and my check too. What was supposed to be a quick bite before running to the grocery store before bed ended up being just dinner before bed. Top it off with taking the spaghetti off the menu, which was my kid's favourite, just made it a bummer of a night.

    We dined at this location and it was very good. We had the Seniors Omelet and Seniors Country Fried Steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted terrific. I like that the portion sizes were not reduced. Service was good. I would definitely return.

    Google says they’re open till 2 AM, I’m working out of town and wanted something to eat before I go back to the job. I walk in both entry doors and I noticed that the lights are dim but thought maybe a section was just closed down. The first thing the lady inside says is "obviously we're closed." Like no, obviously if your doors are unlocked and it says you're open till 2am you’re not closed. I told her she didn't have to be rude as I leave. As I’m pulling away, she walks out and proceeds to lock the outside door but looks over at me like I'm in the wrong and I said, "you know you don’t have to be rude to a potential customer." She looked at me sideways like I was disrespecting her and me and her went back-and-forth before I left. Change your hours to reflect when you are open.

    Wonderful service. Super fast with my order and the food was great. The server was the best, very efficient. The restaurants was busy but still was able to seat us fast and keep the tables clean and ready for the next guest: I will definitely be back.
