    The food was adequate as you might imagine for a Denny's. But the waitresses at this particular location are very friendly at 6:00 a.m. The restaurant was very clean, and you really felt like you got a personal experience. The atmosphere was very festive for the season. Autumn leaves, Christmas lights, and the like.

    I rate this Denny’s at 4 stars. The appetizer came out right away, our mozzarella sticks. They were good but basic, I had also ordered a slam burger and it was a 10/10! I’m only taking a star off because of our customer service, I had asked for jalapeños and they didn’t deliver them to the table until I got up and asked for them again. Not only that but To get a refill on my drink, I had to get up once again because no one was coming to our table. This was frustrating as a pregnant woman, It wasn’t even busy at the time I was there but food was great! Thank you for the experience.

    My family and I had breakfast there. It was incredibly busy, and the staff must have felt overwhelmed. Nevertheless, our waitress, Joianna, was very nice and attentive. We waited about an hour for our food, but bear in mind the restaurant was completely full and there were only three cooks. The food was good, too. The fries were fresh, not oily. The pancakes were perfectly golden.

    Rich was my server and he was the best server I even had. I love his energy and how he recommended the hearty 9 grain pancakes. Those pancakes were delicious especially with the extra butter like he said. It was a delight to have his as my server. Rich is so kind hearted. Thank you!!

    Victoria was my server and she was one of the best! She made such a good milkshake and the mozzarella sticks were perfect, I’ll definitely be coming back and hoping to get served by her once more!

Very clean in there, definitely going back

    I visited Denny's last Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised by the bustling yet welcoming atmosphere. Despite the crowd, our host, Alejandro, stood out for his dedication to ensuring everyone had a great experience. He not only efficiently seated us but also promptly served our drinks within minutes. Alejandro's efforts truly made a difference in our visit, and I want to extend my gratitude for his exceptional service. The food did take a bit longer to arrive, but the wait was worthwhile. I ordered the pancakes, and my friend opted for a sandwich – both dishes exceeded our expectations. The pancakes were delicious, and the sandwich was satisfying. What added to the overall positive experience was the comfortable atmosphere. After a scorching morning outside, the cool ambiance inside Denny's was a welcome relief. In conclusion, my visit to Denny's was truly amazing, thanks to our outstanding host, Alejandro, and the dedicated staff. Despite the Saturday morning rush, their commitment to customer satisfaction left a lasting impression. I look forward to returning to Denny's for another enjoyable meal.

    Our server was rich and he had great customer service! He was super nice, it did take forever for the food to be ready. It took almost 30 minutes for cheese sticks:/ rich told us that the kitchen was really backed up on online orders other than the food taking forever to be ready every was good and clean :)

    The food at Denny is consistent and good. The menu has something for everyone night or day. It is our go to for an informal late dinner, or breakfast (Sunday mornings are packed) the servers are gracious and hard working people. We go there probably on a monthly basis. Very enjoyable. Sadly They have however taken out the pies!!! I like the big breakfast with bacon sausage eggs hashed brown potatoes and pancakes. Last time I got a big salad with salmon on it which was a bigger portion than I expected. So overall Dennys is a good value and enjoyable especially when its not too busy.

    Very delicious food. Not enough zucchini and yellow squash though and too many potatoes. But the chicken was perfect. Our server was very attentive and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The lady that greeted us was stone faced and disappeared before we arrived at our table and never looked at us or even said a word before she walked away. I love Dennys. 👵🏽👌🏾💌

    This is the first review I've ever left a restaurant, but I was so impressed today that I had to. Today, my wife, two children, and I were served by Rich and were given the most ridiculously great service we have EVER had at a Denny's (which isn't really known for their hospitality). First, Rich was very informative about menu items that weren't listed in the menu as well as items that weren't currently in stock. This was helpful as it made our decisions easier. Second, Rich is bilingual! It's unassuming that he would know Spanish, but he definitely does! And he knows it well! It was very comforting for my wife to be able to speak Spanish to him as her English is not so good. Lastly, Rich had a full section and seemed to be breezing by with his normal duties when he informed us that he would be taking a party in another room away from where we were. I thought that our service would lack, but it didn't. Rich ensured us that we would be taken care of and we were. Never once were we out of a beverage or did we feel like we weren't being treated as quality guests. This Denny's is something fun to watch. I dine here quite often and just love all of the hustle and bustle. The staff here work extremely hard and it shows. Thank you, Denny's. And thank you, Rich!

    Sandy Hernandez is an AMAZING waitress. This is definitely the right job for her. She is so attentive and very insightful. She is pleasant and went above and beyond. As a former customer service supervisor and manager I know good service. Kudos.

    I arrived at a bad time. The kitchen was down for maintenance. Only cold desserts and coffee from the coffee maker were available. I enjoyed a delicious slice of strawberry cheesecake and good tasting coffee to gain energy to get back on the road again. Clean restroom. Friendly staff. Good security guard. The 24-hour convenience was very much appreciated.

    our waitress at the counter made our experience a memorable one! Sandra took the time to offer the alternative of turkey bacon since we don”t eat pork and other options which made our meal even better. They don’t make waitresses like that anymore! She is genuinely concerned with helping her customers have an excellent meal and brings forth the effort to do it. Thank you Sandra! George and Lou Ann Spolsdoff!

    Victoria was literally so nice and took good care of me. Kept my drink filled, made sure everything was good, and gave me a big ranch! They're an amazing employee will come again!!

    Waiting for over 30 minutes to be seated and continue to wait while the lobby fills with people and nobody is being directed to a table. When i was finally seated i was put at atable and was forgotten about. My order taken to a completely different table the coffee taste like it had soap residue. And the servers are rude. I do not recommend this location it seems that they have poor management skills and don't know what they are doing. Get it together people.!!

    Best burger and seasoned fries I’ve had in way too long of a time. The double cheeseburger with extra pickles and cheese, perfect for a rainy day.

    They are understaffed I think. Do not go unless you have over an hour to hang out. The staff are very friendly they are just stretched thin. With that being said, the food was quite good. My daughter got country fried steak and vegetables. This is the third Denny's where I've tried biscuit and gravy and the biscuits feel old and stale. Maybe they are from frozen. Other than that the sodas are great, the coffee is great, and the food (other than the biscuits) is worth the wait if you have plenty of time. Recently expanded so there's loads of seating and parking. There is diner counter seating which I find adorable. It's a bit crowded in here and wheelchair navigation can be tricky. Call ahead.

    My family and I went to go eat dinner around 9pm. We were seated right away and helped by a lovely waitress. 3 of of us ordered the All American Slam (my fave). Food was tasty. I would recommend this location.

  • 5/5 Margareli O. 1 year ago on Google
    For being a Saturday, we were seated promptly and the food was delicious. Our server Sandra Hernandez was excellent! She was so kind and prompt to get us refills and anything else we needed. She was also able to communicate exceptionally well with all her multilingual guests. If every server was like Sandra, this Denny’s would be the best place in town to eat.

    my waitress Alex is always really nice anytime my coworkers and i come in for our late night dinner’s since we work the closing shift. she’s really quick with our orders and always has a nice attitude when we show up. she makes our visits nice and comforting every time. giving 5 stars for her isn’t even close to being enough for the service she gives us.
