    First, they weren’t even “packed”. I stood there for five minutes and the host never even asked me about seating, I had to approach the counter and ask for seating. Second, once at the table we asked for coffee and water, it took 7-8 minutes to get served coffee in dirty cups with no cream/sugar. Asked for clean cups and water…after 10 more minutes of nothing we left. I understand everyone is short staffed, and that may affect the speed of service, but should not affect the quality.

    Food was delicious, service was fantastic. But a server was taking other servers tips.which upset me because they work hard for there tips.but other than that it was great.

    The place was empty without customers. We wondered why that was. Then we found out. The prices increased quite a bit. We placed our order and it took 40 minutes to get it. What used to be included is now an option with a cost related to it.. My food was greasy. My wife's food was dried out and the mashed potatoes were very watery. She was not able to eat her meal. Will not be back.

    Well, work has me in El Paso, TX. Have been here for a few days. This was my second visit to this restaurant this week. The first was a late night visit. The second was for lunch. When I was in high school, I worked at a fast food fish fry restaurant. One thing I can tell you about deep fryers is that the oil has to be filtered at least twice a day. If not, you end up with fried food that looks like it was over-fried and burnt. If the oil has been filtered, the fish, chicken, or chicken fried anything will come out golden brown. That being said, the first night, I ordered the sampler appetizer, which comes with cheese sticks, onion rings, chicken nuggets, and fries. Well, they were all fried food, and they came out dark brown and had a funky taste. For my lunch visit, I ordered the chicken fried chicken platter at the servers recommendation. We'll both chicken patties were dark brown and had a funky taste. My two sides were corn and mash potatoes. Corn was good, but my mashed potatoes were runny and looked like they had served me an order of grits. To sum this up, I was extremely disappointed on both of my visits and would highly recommend you have the cooks filter the deep fryer oil more often. Our server was cute and extremely friendly, often checking back. She did an outstanding job.

    The place of filthy!! after being seated we had to find someone to clean our table, at breakfast they were out of biscuits, everyone at the table asked for crispy bacon and received raw bacon. The hashbrowns were also raw. They serve you what they want and not what you order. Will not be going back to this location

    Poor customer service and terrible staffing is just a few simple words to describe how abismal this service is. After waiting for 10 minutes and several staff members passing by not only was my family ignored but also 2 other families. Even with a packed crowd on a Sunday morning it doesn’t excuse the lack of customer service that was provided. We didn’t even get acknowledged because there was no host. The staff passing by didn’t even give us a passing glance or mentioning that someone will be with us shortly. We will no longer be dining in this establishment for the foreseeable future, at least until they get their staffing and customer service issues sorted out.

    Shoutout to Tracy for being an awesome server. Went for breakfast and felt very welcome by the staff, specially Tracy. The service was great and always with a smile on the face. Was offered a great breakfast and coffee that didn’t disappoint. It’s always great to see people enjoying their jobs. We will be coming back again when we visit El Paso.

    The food was great, service a bit slow but not too bad. Clean.

  • 1/5 Karina S. 4 years ago on Google
    It gets packed on Sunday mornings, obviously and they're short on staff, which doesn't help. The wait to get a table is considerably not long but once you're seated it takes forever for the server to come and forever to place the order, if they even place it. Last time we visited, we waited 45 minutes in the table for our food to arrive which it never happened. We asked for the order to be cancelled and to our surprise, the order was not even placed. They just need better organization.

    We got seated in good time. However, we waited 45 minutes to get our food. It too a long time to receive our food. I was very disappointed.

  • 1/5 joey w. 4 years ago on Google
    At this location staff was not the nicest since I requested to sit on a specific side of the building. Booths where not as clean as what some have been doing, a dirty wet rag does not clean a dirty table. Waited 10 min at my table just for a drink order, and it has taken over 45 min for my food. Not to mention my waiter has no come by to refill my drink but has everyone elses. And the table that sat 10 min after me got food first. So I'm really contemplating walking out if my food isn't here very very quickly. Edit: got my food and finally after 15 min with an empty glass I got a water..... now empty again and been empty for another 5 min. Sizziling skillet was not sizzling at all, tasted like it had been sitting for a minute due to how it was down to nearly room temperature.

  • 3/5 Milopez63 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great, enjoyed a double cheeseburger with fries and roast beef on toast sandwich with onion rings. The service was good, friendly staff. The issue I had was that the place was filthy! The floors were dirty, trash everywhere. I didn't realize until we sat and our eyes adjusted.

  • 4/5 Etchfamilyguy 1 year ago on Google
    Food is delicious. Service was outstanding! The restroom situation, maybe it was just that day but wow worst experience for a restaurant I have ever seen. Seriously feels more sanitary to go outside in the bushes.

  • 1/5 Miguel M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were waiting for 20 minutes before someone acknowledged us and told us we would wait for another 15 minutes. This is ridiculous on how nobody even turned around and looked at us. This is throughout all the Dennys. Short on staff then close the dam restaurant and don’t let anyone come in and waste their time like we did.

  • 5/5 L L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great customer service! The waitress was very friendly and efficient. Although the restaurant was full, the manager accommodate everyone in an order and fast way. I appreciate their work. Thank you!

    "Lenny's" came in clutch! Everywhere was closed. Seven eleven shut the doors on us. Thankfully we saw this Dennys. The server was very nice. Being our table had one with issues, the girl took it in stride corrected what needed to, and remained pleasant the whole time. My food came out quickly. Thank you dennys

  • 2/5 Ruth H. 1 year ago on Google
    Worse service I've had at a Denny's! There was only 1 other customer, we waited almost 25 for food & coffee refills. Not sure if kitchen was short-staffed or what but service was aweful. ☹️ Food was hot tho!! Good pancakes 🥞 😋

  • 2/5 Veronica G. 1 year ago on Google
    I placed 3 orders to go online and received an email confirmation. However, on the app it said it would be ready at a certain time and never received a message it was ready. I went to Dennys and they told me they never received my orders. They started my orders and everything looked nice, however when I got home one of my orders was incorrect. I was charged 2.49 extra for the bananas and strawberries on the pancakes, which Inever got. . I tried calling them several times, however no one answered. The place was not even packed, like they usually are, to mess up.

  • 3/5 Martha R. De R. 4 months ago on Google
    We waited like 30 minutes to get our food. The coffee tasted bitter. (Might be my taste buds)The waitress did her best. She was attentive. She brought coffee fast. Except for the food, which was not her fault. I did ask her to get me fresh brewed coffee, and she did. I used to go to Denny's, before and the coffee tasted very good. Maybe because of the pandemic, everything has changed. Food, prices, and service.

  • 3/5 Steve M. 5 months ago on Google
    Denny's is always consistent with their food quality. The wait staff is friendly and, when properly staffed, quick to take your order. They do need to check the cleanliness of the are from time to time as it does need attention more often than not. Still good for at decent prices.

  • 5/5 Karen A. 4 months ago on Google
    Our server was kind, fast, overall efficient. I will always come back and recommend this place. Good food, quick service for a good price. I also love when the staff feels proud of their bilingual skills. Thank you!

    07/16/2023 6:00 AM - Doordash Order I spent $20 on a Cobb Salad with Rib and there is not ONE PIECE or Rib in this entire salad that I received. They gave me a tray full of lettuce …… literally.

  • 5/5 Gyssele F. 5 months ago on Google
    I never take the time to write reviews but I just had to let everyone know about my wonderful experience. I was pleasantly pleased with everything, but overall with our server Nadia. She was very attentive, when the food took a little long to come out she apologized and kept asking if there’s anything she could do for us. I never had to ask for refills because she was on top of it. We were just stopping by because we were on the road, but if I ever find myself in El Paso, I’ll definitely be coming back to this restaurant . Thank you Nadia and thank you Denny’s team!

    The service is always quick and nice. The food is delicious. It's become tradition to eat here with the family and we all love it. Very kid friendly. Our server Joanna was attentive and friendly.

  • 5/5 Glen S. 6 months ago on Google
    I arrived approximately 10 minutes before shift change. The young man that helped me was on top of things and very courtious. When shift changed, Joanna took over and she did an awesome job. She was present the appropriate amount without being overbearing. And she was prompt with all requests. The food was excellent hot and without delay. I am very satisfied with all aspects except for the music. Early in the morning. There are few people in the restaurant. As I am writing this review, I am the only one and the music is some sort of house or techno music and with no patrons to soften the noise, the music is loud and oppressive. That would not keep me from coming back. But something for management to consider. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to my friends.

  • 1/5 David H. 3 years ago on Google
    Do not go to this denny's they have horrible service and the food always comes out cold we waited over and hour for our food and couldn't get refills on drinks the manager didnt care said they were busy with the 5 tables that had people they are not sanitizing anything all of the tables are covered in food crumbs and dried sticky syrup these a definitely health code violations and they need to be shut down immediately

    Great curbside. Pick up clean lady and order was 100%correct

  • 1/5 Paul H. 4 years ago on Google
    I use to love going to Denny's but in my recent experience in short term it's trash. I went to the George Dieter location which took forever to get seating as a result never did and went to the Gateway location which was great to wait less than 10min. But, during this time we ordered super slams with unlimited pancakes. I took an hour to receive our food as the bacon was dry and cold and pancakes felt like and tasted like rubber. At this time other customer's got a little hostile with the waiter which caused a scene and made it uncomfortable for pretty much everyone. The only upside to this was the free milkshakes that accidentally were never charged to our tab.
