    Fast and friendly service. Food was cooked well and came out in a timely manner. The only complaint I have is that the menus were wiped with a dirty rag so it left a dirty smell to, it other than that the place was clean and well maintained. The server always check up on us and was prompt. We had a great experience.

    The waitstaff was wonderful, Lizbeth and her new trainee were awesome .. as they had to deal with shortages and unhappy customers. Very pleasant up beat and personable I’d give them 5 stars ….. however the kitchen needs a few lessons in food preparation. I ordered an omelette was sent a greasy nasty Burt mess wrapped in egg. Again the waitstaff was awesome and sent it back. 2nd omelette came out looking better however I now know why they burned the meat in the first one … the ham was SOUR !!! I paid for my coffee tipped the waitstaff $10 and left ! I won’t be returning EVER !

    The only reason I gave a 4 star Instead of a 5 was A very very long Wait. It wasn't the Waitresses fault. They not only took the orders they had to bring the drinks and bus the tables. Our waitress Lizabeth Was so very polite. Everything was exactly what we ordered.

    Place is nice, not to clean. Was seated at dirty table. Waitresses was not good, was told recovering from stroke. Silverware dirty. But I know she didn't do food, it was greasy. Went there with son we didn't get to eat together cause they got food 20 minutes apart, asked for coffee 2 times then I finally got greasy coffee with coffee grinds in it, she took another 20 minutes. Was there 1 hour and I didn't even get my food, got tired of waiting my cold coffee, so i just paid and got out of there. Then at register she was overcharging me.

    Pleasantly surprised. Great service. Nice selection of classic foods. Polite and chilled atmosphere. Had lunch and filtered coffee that they serve here was top quality. Menu did not contain vegetable skillets but that did not stop them from making one :) Loved it and will come back. Wi-fi, power, WC all included.

    I came in after a long day of frustration and disappointment, I was just looking for a quick bite. Denny's isn't known for their great meals and service but fortunately I was served by Jason, and he is killing it! He made sure our drink order was fulfilled and answered all menu questions. He took the time to make sure my meal requests were met. Food was served quickly, correctly and at the right temperature. Jason's courteous and prompt service has convinced me to make this my late night stop.

    The waitress was great, it was a little busy for a Sunday night around 11pm. The strawberry hushpuppy things were really good! The Mac and cheese was disappointing though, the texture wasn't creamy at all. It may have sat around for a while or not been reheated very well. I can't complain about anything, they were good, the food was pretty good. The bathrooms and dining areas were pretty clean.

    My husband and I came in for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. All of the staff were smiling and were working so well together. The food was good. April was our waitress and we could not say enough good things about her. She was attentive without hovering. She smiled, was knowledgeable about the menu and quick to help. April gave us one of the best experiences we have EVER had at a Dennys.

    It seems difficult for a franchise cafe to achieve a Five Star rating unless well loved like the popular "chicken sandwich place". Do we expect a franchise to provide less quality of an experience? Or perhaps we are more sympathetic to what we believe is a locally owner cafe? A franchise can seem to lack the emotional connection as a local joint. All in all, this Denny's location provided a good solid breakfast. If you want quantity order the Lumberjack Slam. Three meats, not high quality meat, but acceptable. Service was good. The cafe has been refurbished so all remains in good order.

    Servers were nice at least. But no real service to speak of. Almost completely ignored. Only 3 tables had patrons and food took well over an hour. Table was sticky. Menu was sticky. Bathroom had a broken leaky toilet. Go somewhere else.

    First time trying Denny's, and I decided to go through the drive thru this time. I ordered a chicken fried steak, which I didn't know they had. Everything was delicious. The toast was buttered, and the Coke was great. Plenty of gravy. About a 15 minute wait.

    Terrible experience. We got sat at a dirty booth, & the floor & tables around us were dirty. There were staff standing around talking that could have been cleaning up. My bread arrived & looked like someone took a bite. The chicken fried steak was disgusting & didn’t require a knife to cut, the mashed potatoes tasted sour like they’d gone bad, & the rice was crunchy. I later found out from the staff that the chicken fried steak was a beef patty not steak. I worked at a restaurant & these are red flags. I will never return to this place.

    It was very slow when I was there so I can't speak for the atmosphere. But I did love the restaurant itself like it looked very different from typical breakfast areas which was nice. Customer service was great. Loved all three ladies. The food however was okay. I felt like everything could have been seasoned a little bit more, especially the burger patties.

    Horrible food. Meat was very low quality. Service wasn’t bad. Greeted within one min when I walked in. Handle cover for the hot plate was filthy. I turned it over hoping that would help but it was even worse on the other side. Not sure if what was caked on the cover was there from yesterday or two weeks ago. It was extremely nasty. Obvious they don’t get cleaned between use. That alone scares me of what could possibly be dirty in the BOH. I won’t be returning.

    We arrived and were welcomed by several friendly faces ... our Waitress was very tentative and courteous... our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was worth the wait, Delicious! Only $30 for us both and we went home with leftovers and full bellies. Thank You Dennys Staff! We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends.

    What can I say… it’s Denny’s!! The food was a “Grand Slam”, all the staff was interactive and friendly. Our server JaNiya C was awesome!! I would definitely visit again!!

  • 5/5 Derek N. 10 months ago on Google
    Andrea is an awesome server. Tonight she was working alone with a single, new cook. I waited about 45 minutes to put a to-go order in. It was just me and some other guy, but she had a few tables. I didn’t mind.

  • 4/5 Flavio S. 1 year ago on Google
    SO and I sorely needed a hot meal and this little gem popped out of Google maps. Went in around 11am on a Saturday and while it was crowded, we sat right away and had a hot cup of coffee within 2 mins. As is typical with all Denny's I have ever been, waitresses were busy doing their rounds. The kitchen got our order wrong but she took care of it promptly. Place needs at least one more waiter. Still would come back. Thanks!

  • 4/5 Lauren S. 10 months ago on Google
    The food & service were good. With that said, is it asking too much for the staff to give a little extra time. I understand they were a little busy but not at max capacity. At checkout our server rang us up and walked away. 🤔My husband paid using the little card reader and I thought he'd come back and say thank you or have a good night, but Nope, he went to another table he was serving. 😔🥹

    Was sat quickly. That was the only plus. Waited at least 15 to 20 min before we were even acknowledged. Finally got our order. Cold sausage only one piece of bacon and the Ham looked like the bottom of a sandal and the wife's hashbrowns were way over cooked. See picture.

    Once in a blue moon they get my to-go breakfast correct. However, the norm is they forget utensils, butter for the pancakes, and substitute French fries for hash browns with cheese. I’m soo disappointed with what should be a great meal. I’m done with this one. Dennys. You’ve hurt me deep. Goodbye Felicia September 29, 2023 update: thought taking a month off might get a change. Yes, for the worse. I put my order in online and go to pick it up. A lady said the store was closed during the night and would take an hour to get ready. I had to go to work so I asked for a refund. She said she couldn’t. Corporate website wants you to contact the store. Catch 22.

    If I could put 0 stars I would. This Denny's is a pisspoor example of the franchise quality of food and work. They have progressively been getting worse and worse. My food is constantly missing ingredients/products, cold, or burnt. This last time I had 3 orders of moons over my hammy that came in soggy with only 1 hairline slice of ham on only one half of the sandwiches. Cold potatoes. Burnt choco/banana pancakes. Charged for 2 crepes and only got one poorly made crepe.. and I don't even know what the hell happened to strawberry shortcake pancakes. It looks like they started to make the red white and blue pancakes then remembered the order and threw some cookies on top. Its a shame that they would even let their food go out like this. Makes me wonder what else are they skimping on? Hygiene? Proper food handling procedure? Clearly they take no pride in their work and don't care about the quality of their products anymore.

    Can’t rate the food as after 55 minutes and still nothing it would be unfair-but the single filling of iced tea (that we did pay for) wasn’t bad. The hostess was rude seating us, the wait person shirt appeared to not have been laundered this week and checked on us once saying she’d check on our order but never updated us. As we were attempting to pay-the hostess was more interested in listening to another wait person conversation with a young man. Then our wait person said our food was almost —almost ready.
