    I stopped at this restaurant yesterday for breakfast and ordered " biscuits and gravy and this is what was served. It looked as if someone had taken a teaspoon and splashed a little gravy by mistake on a biscuit. I asked if this is what they called biscuits and gravy, and the waitress said the manager had made my plate. I politely paid for my watery orange juice and left. It was my fault as I had visited this restaurant before and it was horrible then also. Ants crawling on the table along with the horrible food/service. Never again!!!!

    The best Denny’s in Florida, and I’ve been to many. The food is consistently good but more importantly the service is excellent. Kudos to Jessica, the best waitress ever.

    All I ask for was fresh coffee The cup was dirty It still had previous lips stains on it . The plate of food was also dirty. Ask for manager acted like no fcks to give. I know it’s not a big fancy restaurant but can I at least get clean plates … FYI my waiter was on drugs .

    10/10 experience since walking in! the host greeted us and promptly sat us at a booth which was clean including the condiments on the table which is always a plus. our server Summer was very friendly and checked on us often. all 3 meals came out great! we got nachos (they taste better than they look lol), country fried steak (so crispy!) and a grand slamwhich. wait was not long. easy payment process. probably one of the best denny’s location!

    Denny's was clean and everyone was friendly from the cashiers to the cooks! Food served hot and quickly. Server could have been a little more attentive, had to find him when I went to pay. But I was dining late and it was a shift change. Definitely recommend this Denny's. 4 stars and and A+.

    Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. My skillet was piping hot but the food was overcooked and a bit burnt. I ate it anyway because I was exhausted and didn't feel like complaining or waiting for a new plate. The coffee was decent but nothing to rave about. I think the portion size was much smaller than I remember, definitely not worth almost $12 it cost. Dennys used to offer more for the money.

    Place was clean. Good came out pretty quick. Food wasn't bad but wasn't anything to write home about. Staff was friendly only thing I can say that is negative is the bathrooms were kinda dirty and I was never asked if I wanted a refill on my coffee. All and all it is what I expect from a Dennys not great but definitely not the worst option in town.

    I always choose Denny's because of the menu and prices but having Eden as our waitress is always a plus. She is Quick with service and very friendly. The balloon lady Didi is always very pleasant as well. Because I have kids we have pretty much become besties with her lol. 😊

    We love a Denny's. Wherever we are in the country, we make it a point to always stop for breakfast once. Till this day, I'm never disappointed. There was a long wait for food, but it was bc the kitchen was short staff, probably not a usual thing, things happen.

    Amazing Pannycakes. No Syrup Required. Decent server, Omar.

    This is such a great place to chill and eat. Me and my partner love going here. The cinnamon roll pancakes with cheesecake icing are to die for. Can’t wait to go back!!

    I personally don't really come here. So when I did, it was late with a group and the food was okay. When it was time to checkout, I was 1st in line, and then when these younger girls came up, he was about to check them out 1st. That's when thr other lady at check out was like,. Oh no, they were 1st. Which was VERY much appreciated. Overall, I just still personally won't be back.

    Bingo! Finally found a place that has the perfect combination of waitstaff and cooks. My wife and I ate here while visiting Tampa last week. We were seated right away and our server, Cheryl, was absolutely Top Tier. The food was still hot and fresh long after we started eating. I mean someone should go to this Denny’s and snatch her up if looking for the best in customer service. If I own a business, regardless of what kind, I sure would. I would definitely eat here again! My one gripe is they only have a Veterans Discount on Mondays.

    Denny's ist wirklich einen Besuch Wert. In diesem hier, war die Bedienung sehr freundlich und das Ambiente ist sehr stimmig. Das Essen war gut, die Preise stimmen und die Portionen sind relativ groß. Nichts auszusetzen.

    Immer wieder fantastisch. Wenn es irgendwie möglich ist, gehe ich bei einem Besuch in den Staaten ins Denny’s. Ich liebe das Frühstück im Denny‘s Restaurant. Besonders liebe ich MOONS OVER MY HAMMY ®. Aber nur das Original, ohne Sausage oder Becon.

    Fried eggs and hash browns were perfect. Country-fried steak was slightly overcooked. Service was super-friendly and quick.

    I had to come from Riverview Florida into Tampa to take my daughter senior class pictures after we were done we stopped at your Denny’s location on N. Dale Mabry Highway. There is only about three other tables that have people at them when we went in we ordered our food I ordered a California club sandwich, I went into the bathroom to wash my hands, and when I returned, my food was at the table, I took a bite of my sandwich which was very dry. I opened it up to discover there was no sun-dried tomato mayo on it, nor was there any avocado that was supposed to be on the sandwich , I looked around for the waitress nowhere to be found. I looked around for the host nowhere to be found looked into the kitchen area the cook nowhere to be found. There was no one in the whole entire establishment. Another patron went to the cash register trying to get cashed out no one to be found , everyone literally had disappeared. I slowly ate my fries so they would not be cold by time anyone showed up into your establishment. All of my fries were gone Needless to say this was a horrible experience in your establishment. I don’t know where your staff decided to disappear to. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at any restaurant.

    Went for breakfast during the Veterans’s Day and the staff and food was great. All the food was good. Will go back

  • 5/5 Mary Lynne H. 3 months ago on Google New
    This is the best breakfast for the price anywhere I think. They have whole grain pancakes that I get every time! They have a variety of food from breakfast lunch and dinner to choose from as well as dessert. I think like most places the drinks are a little higher priced but if you're a water Drinker like I am the breakfast is very reasonable. There's one waitress there that we always hope to get but all the servers are really good.

    Stopped by on a whim and was not disappointed! I had the absolute privilege of having Brandy as my server; she made me the best strawberry milkshake I’ve had in a while. It was just what I needed. The group I was with enjoyed their food as well. Brandy, thank you for making a great night even better - you are a treasure! It was great meeting you. Hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to come in again.

    This location deserves more than five stars!!! Great atmosphere and very clean. They have great waitresses. Two in particular are my favorite Jessica and Brian!!! Always with a great big smile, very attentive. Very hard worker's. Me and my daughter made this place our brunch place every Saturday!!

  • 5/5 Daniella M. 1 year ago on Google

    Denny's offers a variety of wonderful dishes to choose from. Their hours are wonderful. Their staff is very professional and they make you feel like you're at home or part of a family. The breakfast menu is wonderful a lot of selections and of course the prices are very reasonable. I'm definitely a repeat customer since I was a little girl we used to go to all the Denny's and now as an adult I truly enjoy the breakfast lunch and dinner menu

  • 5/5 Kenneth B. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was excellent. The food was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. It was a very clean restaurant as well. This is by far the best Denny's I've ever been to. It is evident that the management here is top notch. P.S. Having an attractive young host greet you as you enter the building is a nice plus as well. It's smart and good business.

  • 5/5 Adam W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice Omelet with fresh ingredients, hashbrowns had a hint of burnt cooking oil aftertaste as if the grill hadent been cleaned in awhile. Service was friendly and as quick as can be expected on a busy Sunday morning with a long line of people waiting to get in.

    Our entrance to this place was so great! A young man named Jaquan welcomed us with a very nice soul smile and seat us without missing his authentic gentle manners. I could say that Jaquan made my day!!! Thank you so much ❤️ Overall, a good food &service!

    My family and I just got to Denny’s for a nice Sunday breakfast. It seemed we had just beat the crowd, and were told to go sit at the corner booth. I got there a few minutes after my mom and brother, and my boyfriend and I sat with them. A bus boy comes over and starts arguing with us that we sat ourselves and we need to go back to the front where there are now multiple other parties waiting. I had already talked to the host upon arrival since I was looking for the rest of my family, so I simply went back up and talked to him. Another hostess was there as well and I talked to them and they helped me out and said I could go sit back down. The bus boy comes over again and tells my family and I that we need to get up again. I explained that I talked to the host and they said we could stay, but he continues arguing and argues with the host as well. He wouldn’t stop harassing us so we left. So much for a family breakfast.

    We ate here for Christmas dinner after traveling to Tampa from Atlanta to head out on a vacation. First we stopped at an IHOP, but they were so poorly staffed that no one came over to put us on the wait list after we'd been standing there for several minutes, so we found Denny's was open and went there instead. Well, with few options and staffing shortages everywhere, our expectations were low, but this Denny's was exceptional in every way. The host was prompt and pleasant, letting us know about how long the wait would be and also that it might be a bit of a wait on getting food due to the kitchen being super busy, something we appreciated and understood. Then our server was simply fantastic! She provided excellent service, holiday cheer, and made us feel incredibly welcome on an insanely busy night. Yes, the kitchen was a little slow, but not more than expected given how busy the restaurant was, and the welcoming attitudes and service provided by the front staff more than made up for it! If we're ever in Tampa again, we'd definitely come back! Thanks for taking care of our family for Christmas dinner after a long day on the road!

    I've been going to this Denny's for many years but, because of covid I have not in the last 2 years. I decided to stop by on Christmas morning for a big breakfast this year. The restaurant has been remodeled with a bunch of private cubicles the service and food were average nothing spectacular, but still good. The restaurant was clean and I would go again. I would also recommend it to anyone. This Dennys has been there for over 35yrs.

    The service was great our waitress by the name of Ashley was awesome. If I had more cash I would've tipped better. But very clean and well maintained, very amazing service definitely plan to come back when I'm in the area

    Since HS late nights at Denny’s I’ve kinda grown out of the establishment and thought they were going down hill; as far as this joint is concerned I’m completely mistaken. I make the drive for class super early to miss traffic from Polk county. I look forward to occasional breakfast here. Val was the most refreshingly pleasant server I have experienced in a long time. Props to Rudy on the grill, consistently tasty food. This particular Denny’s seems to be steppin up their game.
