      MY wife and I went into Denny's this evening for supper in Independence MO. We were told hello from the nicest young lady. Her name was Star. Star ended up being our waitress, too. Star is very friendly and had some really great ideas on what to choose and eat. My wife and I ended up choosing the 8-ounce steak. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and were very tender. The broccoli was great and very tender as well. Our wavy fries were very hot, and they had to cool off some before we could eat them. Thank you for having this great waitress, Star, here at your restaurant. We will come back and see her again real soon.

      Kitchen staff don’t listen to what you order. The waitress stood around talking forgot all about the vanilla creamer coffee got cold. Deb the manager is the only reason they got 3 stars. She came and checked on us and I informed her that her kitchen staff didn’t follow my request of my food to add bacon instead of pork.

      I stopped by Denny's often to pick up food. I ordered on my way home from work tonight. I found a hair in my food. I ordered online and my waiter wasn't the friendliest guy. I still tipped him anyway. It's been frustrating the last couple times I've gotten food from there. Why do you crying for.

      Went to the Denny's in Lockport N.Y.. Waitress was rude. Said I should have waited to be seated which I never had to do any time going into this denny's. Only had 4 tables occupied. The way she said it too. Ordered cheese burger and French fries. The fries were disgusting. They were shoestring fries, they were dry had the skins on you could taste the cooking oil. Denny's used to have the best fries, these are nothing like diner fries. They definitely lost my business.

      Dennys is a joke. The biggest laugh at this time is that on July 1st, 2026 Dennys abandoned their veteran discount across the board. A few days before the 250th celebration of this great country!! REALLY!!!! This action was a huge slap in the face for us veterans and VERY unAmerican action. Dennys should be ashamed of themselves and who, was the person(s) that made this happen and what were they thinking and where is their respect and honor for not only our veterans but the USA itself.. this is a major F U!!! to veterans and this great country.

      I suggest that this action recieves the proper response and one is to avoid eating at dennys and gathering people to make a statement about this dishonoring act toward the people who fought and died and were also highly affected for the rest of the lives. DENNYS YOU should leave this great country and to China or Russia or North Korea. You will be greatly received there.

      I went and ordered two T-bone steaks around midnight took him home ate them and no one went to bed and I had to get up around. I couldn’t make the bathroom. I had to vomit in the sink. Both me and my friend got food poisoning and I called to make a complaint today. They kept saying they call me back blah blah blah. "Don’t write a review because that’s our business as well." If I get food poisoning, it surely my business as well. They said they were gonna call me back in 10 minutes. They never called back. They just put off but went past the 30 day deadline. I couldn’t reverse the charge on my Mastercard.

      I told my neighbor about this. I got food poisoning there too so if you want some really good looking food that gives you food poisoning go to that Denny’s. I highly recommend Astra Amanda. She’s a manager that put me off put me off until I went past my card date. I’m just looking out for you guys. Don’t eat that food and I also wrote a Google review already and they took it down before I got posted so somehow they got that handled.

      Visited the Denny's Restaurant in Alexandria, Virginia # 7408 at approximately 8:30 a.m. The heat immediately hit your face, and I felt like it was 90 degrees. The server told me he would see what he could do when I asked why it was so hot. The owner is so stingy that they disregarded to turn on the air conditioner on one of the hottest days of the week. The food was good and the service was great. There was a toothpick holder when I went to pay for my meal up front, but it was totally empty. The person working behind the register simply shook her head when I asked about a toothpick.

      OK, I don’t do reviews but I live in Nacogdoches, I come in twice a week for the last six years. They’ve had their ups and downs, but things have really gotten bad in the last month. We had a great manager. I think he might’ve been a little hard on the employees, but he’s gone and the service is pretty bad. The food is still OK. I’ve been sitting here for 30 minutes.

      A friend of mine and I were on a road trip coming home from Los Angeles area over last weekend and we stopped at a Denny's to get breakfast. I believe it was in Indio. The breakfast was decent. I love the moons over my hammy and it was good. However, we both ordered a cup of coffee (something we were craving for 100 miles) and it tasted nothing like coffee. It was nothing more than a cup of hot brown water. It was terrible and another patron came to us when he heard us complaining about the coffee to our server, and told us that his was terrible. We sent the coffee back and they took it off of our bill, but I will never order coffee at Denny's again. This is a breakfast joint. Please get some decent coffee. We ended up driving down the street and getting a great cup of coffee at McDonald's for half the price.

      While the quality of the food is usually consistent with what you expect from Denny’s, the order accuracy at Warwick location needs improvement. I have had two consecutive orders with errors: one with a potato substitution error and another where both the bacon and potatoes were missing completely.

      I didn’t go to my local Denny’s for a while, not for any particular reason other than it’s pretty far away from home. About every 3-4 weeks me and my grandson go very near it when we get our haircuts so we started going there afterwards. I ordered the T-bone steak dinner a few times and it was perfect and delicious, as good as any I’ve eaten at the steak houses I frequent and the meal is much cheaper, I tried a sandwich with sides and it was great, I tried the fried fish dinner last night and it was really good (I’m often disappointed in fish in non seafood restaurants) but it was also perfect and delicious. The service is always fast and the servers are always nice and attentive. People who are reading old reviews from a year or two are doing themselves a disservice by not giving them a try.

      We had breakfast this morning at Denny's in Jacksonville. Staff was okay, if a little reticent and soft spoken. Food was like any other breakfast chain. I had one egg, four sausages (standard portion) and an English muffin. Husband had an omelet, muffin and hash browns. We both had coffee. The bill was over $37.00! My one egg, muffin and sausages was over $12.00, because it was billed as a “build your own”. Coffee was $3.25 each. They think way too highly of themselves. We won’t be back.

      Denny’s is not dealing with its customers in good faith and not informing the customers that they don’t honor "AARP -15% discount on any Grand Slam, Super Slam or any special." They wait until you get to the register to pay to find out that only your cup of coffee was discounted. The woman who works at Denny’s said she has been there for 6 years and it’s always like that. Which is a fabrication. In the past 16 years, we have eaten at Denny’s every couple of months and NEVER experienced that! The Denny’s in Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Daytona Beach, and Sarasota, they all honored AARP 15% discount.

      The management “FAILED MISERABLY “ in informing the customers of not honoring AARP on certain food dishes. It should be printed on a sign on the DOOR when you enter, OR it should be written in large print on the menu. How can the buyer beware if they are over 65, DECREASED VISION, NO COMPUTER to find out rules of DENNY'S and THERE IS NOTHING POSTED!!

      NOT ONE WAITRESS or CASHIER or MEET -AND -GREET MANAGER informed us about the rules for paying for SPECIFIC ITEMS … We have been members of AARP for over 20 years and never encountered a single problem until now from Denny’s. A breakfast house we have gone to for over 20 years. We, my friends (who are all senior citizens) and my family won’t be going back because the woman on the phone was rude, yelling and continuously talking over me while I was talking, then she hung the phone up while I was still talking. She desperately needs dispute management classes and counseling for anger management on dealing with the general public. She just caused her company to lose 38 old customers! We are going to Village Inn and Do Do’s, where they know how to treat customers!
