My son loves the pancakes here and we were letting him pick the place to ETA. Wasn’t mine or my husband’s first choice but we lamented because he’s just had a great soccer game. At first, we weren’t greeted and a guest had to tell us we had to wait to be seated. But after that hiccup, the service and our server, Lucy, made the experience wonderful. The food was out quickly and it was good. And of course, our 7 year old could have eaten 2nds in pancakes.

America’s Favorite Diner, might just be my FAVORITEDINER again… It’s been years since I visited a Denny’s, not because of any personal experience I had, but Denny’s as a brand definitely went through a rough period and since I was in a place that offered lots of choices for local diners and coffee shops, I was not loyal… I strayed. Currently I find myself in my new home and short on places to write. I prefer diners to taco stands for writing because I don’t wanna get taco all over my notes, journals, or computers and when I’m writing I usually consume copious amounts of coffee. On the particular day I visited Denny’s I had gone to 3 other local high profile places in the area and wasn’t able to get comfortable. I was Goldilocks wandering the wilderness in need of gluten free food, a comfortable seat, a place to charge my laptop, Wi-Fi and an endless cup of coffee. Enter Denny’s! And my wonderful server Tammy. Tammy is one of those diner servers that makes you want to tip extra and stay longer just because she’s so pleasant to be around. I was surprised to find updates to the menu, in addition to their standard the«Grand Slam» breakfast and other typical breakfast fare. Denny’s also serves a full menu, including lunch and dinner items and because they are looking out for us the boast a $ 2 $ 4 $ 6 $ 8 menu making it easy to choose what’s in your budget. You won’t likely go broke at Denny’s for any meal, but it’s especially nice to know you can get full on good food for a reasonable price. And by good, I mean fresh, everyday food. Denny’s no frills approach to food is Americana at it’s core, so I was happy to see that they took the time to throw out some lighter fare like the Fit Slam, which is a lighter version of the Grand Slam featuring scrambled egg whites, fresh spinach, and grape tomatoes, turkey bacon, seasonal fruit, and English muffin. Denny’s also offers a Fit Fare Veggie Skillet where home fries and vegetables take center stage with the egg whites. I had a hard time deciding, but ultimately went with what wouldn’t put me to sleep from fullness, the Fit Slam. I asked if I could sub out some things and Tammy was super accommodating! I swapped my bacon for hashbrowns and my English muffin for a gluten-free English(all GF items are clearly marked) and yes, yes, y’all it was on! I sat and ate and wrote for 3 hours because my booth was comfortable, I had a outlet to charge my laptop, free Wi-Fi and copious amounts of fresh coffee. In the course of that time while I worked on my food, which was out in less than 7 minutes, Tammy keep my coffee fresh and even offered to reheat my food without once giving me the«How long are you going to be here» look. All in all Denny’s exceeded my standards and I look forward to doing more writing and eating there on a regular basis.

Went in today with my family and had the most crappy service. First, the server rushed us on our drink order. Then when my husband tried to ask for more sugar, the waiter just walked off ignoring my husband’s request. My husband had to get sugar from another table. Then my daughter orders a burger with fries and instead, the server brings out a burger with onion rings so my daughter had to wait for her fries to be made. The waiter didn’t refill our drinks when empty and barely came to check on our table. He was too busy chatting away at another table giving them decent service meanwhile ignoring us. The food wasn’t that great either. My chicken strips were overcooked. Finally we get up to pay and my husband left a $ 5 tip on a $ 40 bill since the service sucked and the server was even more rude to us when we were leaving. Hmmm… I wonder why you got a crap tip. Crap tip for crap service. Be grateful you got a tip and not a complaint to the management.

Denny’s a joke. There isn’s a breakfast here worth ten bucks and they all start at that price. A waste of time to stop in.

Stopped by for a burger and a shake while getting my windows tinted next door. The shake was really good. It could have been the fact that I hadn’t had a milk shake in like a year. The burger was juicy with excellent flavor. Service was impeccable. The employees were very friendly and welcoming.

4 stars mainly because the biscuit i ordered still needed a little more time to bake. Still soggy and doughy. But the reat of my breakfast was satisfying and filling. I built my own grand slam, i ordered pancakes, bacon, toast, and a biscuit. The bacon was cooked perfectly, it was crispy but also just a little bit chewy the way i like it. The toast was crispy and golden. The pancakes were thick but also filling as well. And my server Marsha was a delightfully energetic and sweet person all around.

Who hasn’t been to Denny’s? I’ve been here several times in the past, I live close so I come 2 – 3 times a month but this morning was especially amazing! The restaurant is packed, they have people at the door waiting to be sat and people at the register waiting to pay. It’s so packed that when I came in with my daughter, I almost left but I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s Valentine’s Day so of course the wait is going to be a little crazy, at least that’s what I thought. We were sat within 10 minutes of arriving, I preferred a booth but we were sat at the bar. My daughter just had her tooth pulled so she ordered an Oreo shake, I ordered the lumberjack slam. Breakfast is always good, the service always left me iffy until this morning. I had a small problem with my bacon and they fixed it immediately. Martin is a manager in training and couldn’t be nicer, his position is well deserved as his people skills are amazing. Scott the GM is AMAZING. Their teamwork is one to be emulated!!! They cranked out food like no other!!! It was amazing to see the servers helping one another. Customers left happy! I know, it’s just breakfast but when you have amazing service with a great staff, it’s easy to love it that much more! I’m still sitting in the parking lot because I don’t want to miss a single detail! Just awesome!

Hey, had a very good dinner. Everything cooked and plated nicely. Fresh, good flavor. Very hospitable server. Started out poorly with the staff all busy, and«He» at the front playing with the stapler. Instead of seating us he yelled for the busy staff members to stop what they were doing so that he may continue playing with his stapler; I assume that takes priority over customers. We were in the restaurant for 90 minutes, so we were able to watch the interactions between other staff and him. The others were always quicker to acknowledge and seat patrons; although I will say that when he «chose» to seat someone he appeared courteous and friendly.

This is the quickest and cleanest Denny’s I’ve ever been to. What’s with the three star average? Went there on Memorial Day around 10am, was seated right away, order was taken quickly and the food arrived in less than 10 minutes. My eggs were slightly overcooked but still very good. And the bathroom? Damn! If the seating was full, I would’ve eaten my breakfast off the bathroom floor — it was that spotless! Plus they had some guy going to the tables making some pretty bad ass balloon animals for the kids. So yeah, pretty cool Denny’s, if I do say so myself.

This Denny’s is okay. The service was great. We had a very attentive server. The food was burnt but they credited me back. I did enjoy the new chocolate chip pancake puppies but with peanut butter sauce, eww. It’s good enough because its priced well. Ill only go back in a pinch.

I have been a hater of Dennys for many years after many many disappointing experiences at any Dennys. HOWEVER, when we moved here to Brandon we zipped into Dennys for a quick breakfast. Not only was the food really darn good, the service was super. We have gone back a few more times, Sunday being the most recent, it was my birthday and I got a free breakfast which was fine. But we also got the banana nut pancake balls which are ALMOST as good as the strawberry ones. Anyways, we have had the same 2 waitresses each time and they are both fab! My husband then mentioned we should go there every Sunday for breakfast!!!

Came here for my fiancé’s birthday so she could get her free grand slam breakfast. This Denny’s was great the staff was very tentative and always there when you needed something. I got the make your own grand slam, which is more than enough food to eat. I tried the turkey bacon and it was delicious it tasted just like regular bacon but it is more healthy for you. If I go back to a Denny’s I will definitely come back to this one.

Well. It’s a Denny’s. I definitely went into it expecting a mediocre experience and it exceeded my expectations for whatever that is worth. I went into a crowded restaurant at 3:30AM, post bar, with several of my friends. Surprisingly, the bathrooms were clean despite the large amount of people in various states of drunkeness I witnessed walking in and out. I ordered a burger and fries and left satisfied for the quality of food I received at that time of night, and for only $ 6(off their new 2−4−6−8 menu). Would I go there for a burger during the day? Absolutely not. But for the middle of the night, this Denny’s was a solid choice. The only real negative of the experience was our service. We never received any refills on our drinks, but it did look as though our server was taking care of half of the busy restaurant, so I can let that slide.
