Denny’s

First off, let me say that I LOVE Denny’s no matter how much $$ I have in my bank account, and will continue to come here, along with the finer dining places in Fountain Hills. What I love is the cheap and yummy breakfasts, where you get a great amount of food for the low price. In my opinion, Denny’s has the best coffee and apple pie EVERRR. So last night, hubby and I went there for Christmas Eve dinner, since most places were closed and we wanted a low-​key, quiet dinner.
The manager Ray waited on us. Hubby initially ordered a Bud Light. They were out. So he ordered a Coors Light, which came with a very frosty mug. Good save. I ordered the crispy chicken salad, which was very good (it never disappoints). I also ordered a side of french fries, which came a good 10 — 15 minutes AFTER my salad. Not thrilled at all. Hubby ordered a prime rib cobb salad, which he said was «okay» but certainly didn’t look like the picture on the menu. Overall the dinner was good and acceptable.
After dinner Ray set the bill down on the table THEN asked us if we wanted dessert. Bad etiquette. We said that we did want dessert and I thought I detected a smidgen of annoyance on his face, but I could be wrong about that. Remember I mentioned that I love their apple pie? Well, that was shot to hell when Ray said they were again, out. So I ordered the apple crisp. Hubby ordered the chocolate lava cake. Guess what? They were … you guessed it … out. He ordered a sundae instead. Dessert was good but I had my heart set in the pie.
So, being that 3 of the 6 items we initially ordered… literally HALF… were «out», you’d think they would offer us some sort of discount or something. Nope. We went there with the intention of tipping very nicely since the person who’d serve us wasn’t home with their family on Christmas Eve, but decided not to, all things considered. We will be back, but if this happens again I will insist on a discount!

Denny’s is, well, Dennys. Standard just-​this-​side-​of-​fast-​food chain place. But who can fuck up Bacon and Eggs? Well, honestly, pretty much anybody can, but I’ve never had a problem with this Dennys. They also do a decent lunch menu. I’ve been there for dinner, but at places like this, I pretty much stick to the breakfasts and burgers. It’s hard to fuck them up too. Denny’s is the kind of place you go to when a. nobody else is open, b. you don’t know any other place, c. you know what to expect. Kinda like comfort food, but commercialized.

Me and my boyfriend come here the waiter does a great job making the holiday shakes.

Unfortunately they are unable to get orders right even 50% of the time. This is not too bad except when you get the food Togo. If you let their Togo staff know there’s an issue with the order they become the and blame it on you. The wait staff due sit down service is okay. It’s a Denny’s…

Great restaurant with attentive and efficient servers… Excellent selections on the menu and you can’t beat the make your own Grand Slam! Convenient and the prices are right.

So when I first got here I was pretty excited to eat something since I hadn’t eaten anything all day. As soon as I was seated I say in a puddle of what seemed to be saliva mixed with soda. I brushed it off with my napkin that never got replaced. I then continued to the menu where the food looked very appetizing. When my order came out it looked nothing like the photo and it tasted very mediocre. We sat and waited for about 50 minutes for someone to even look at us and give us our check. How irresponsible of them to do so and treat your customers with such disrespect. I will never eat here again.

We were three adults and a child who decided to have a quick dinner at Denny’s. Had 50 minutes — a little rushed, but seemed doable. Mohammed, the manager, was at the register and took a while to complete a check-​out, after which he took a phone call until finally «welcoming» us with a «4?» and «do you need a kids’ menu, how many?» Neither welcoming nor particularly smart.
Waitress came over quickly, similar attitude — offered drinks and tried to sell us on appetizers. We told her we were in a time-​crunch and asked if it was doable, to which we got a somewhat unclear answer. Waitress brought the drinks and we asked for a couple more minutes to decide.
That was the last we saw of her. She went to handle the register, then disappeared, reappeared and started serving tables, and checking on others. We tried to get her attention to no avail. One of us even went to the counter and asked if we could order, which was ignored.
We left — fuming. Told the manager on the way out that we wouldn’t be back — he didn’t even lift an eye. So glad this isn’t our local Denny’s — this was abysmal.

I’ve wanted to stop here for a long time so today I did. I had a great experience. I was alone and took a seat at the counter and was immediately greeted by a very friendly waitress who got me a drink right away. I couldn’t find a BLT on the menu and I asked if they served them. She said they’ll serve anything on or off the menu as long as it’s in their system, which it was. So, in a matter of about seven minutes, I was served a fantastic looking BLT and seasoned fries. While I was eating, the friendly and funny manager stopped by and asked how I was doing. I told her that I had wanted to stop here before but wasn’t sure if I could get here, eat, and get back to work in a reasonable amount of time. She handed me a to-​go menu and suggested I call my order in next time and tell them that I’ll be eating in. She smiled and said that should shave some time off my schedule. All in all, I had a really nice time and met a couple of really nice people who work there and seem to enjoy what they do. I’ll definitely be back!

Great service and food. The best looking Denny’s restaurant I’ve been to. Today I had the banana and pecan pancakes with hashbrowns and scrambled eggs and it was delicious! We’ve been coming here ever since we moved to fountain hills like a year and a half ago. They actually have sugar free syrup and they sell beers now!

Much better service than last time.
I’m going back to this Denny’s.
The places looks great too after the remodel

OMG I was so excited to dine at the newly remolded Denny’s in Fountain Hills. Upon entering we were impressed by the new atmosphere. we were greeted by a young man who attempted to humor us when we asked for a booth saying there were none available and their would be a 20 minute wait. Every booth was empty… ha ha. We were sat in a booth and sat there for 15 minutes with no service. Employees were wandering around in a daze. Another table was sat right next to us AFTER we came in and were served drinks. We sat amazed as employes kept passing by us in a daze as if we didn’t exist. The couple next to us asked a waitress for a refill on their coffee and she took about 5 more steps before that request registered in her brain. We decided to leave and as we walked by the young man who sat us, all he said was have a good night! He had to have known we were never even served or maybe he was too sauced up! Denny’s needs to remodel their employees or send them all to rehab!

Out this Sunday morning doing a bit of GeoCaching, we decided breakfast was in order so where to go? I-​Hop or Denny’s … Ok we decided on local so off to Denny’s. Walked in, the place was about half full, greeted right away and seated. Coffee & water came out promptly, placed our order and our food arrived hot within about 5min. Service was great & food was good …
Service: 4 star, our waitress was great, fast & friendly
Ambiance: 2 stars, casual setting, a bit dated
Cleanliness: 3 stars, appeared clean although lots of water spots on the glasses
Food: 3 star, food came out hot and well prepared
Price: 3 star, fair price’s, my wife had a BYO Grand Slam for $ 6.59 and I had an All American Slam for $ 8.89

The food was what you should expect when going to Denny’s but the staff just wasn’t that good. I’ve almost never had a good waitress at Denny’s before. Which granted the job does suck completely, BUT, you signed up for it so don’t make everyone else’s experience suck because of your incompetence. If you want Denny’s then you should go. But do not expect a lovely waitress to meet your needs.

If Unilocal would allow it, I would rate zero stars. Our waitress Marlene was fine. The food was as edible as I expected. We didn’t go to Denny’s expecting an amazing experience. But the young man working there completely ruined it. Talking loudly about how he was about to go into the service and would be qualified to kill people, making mention of the automatic weapons he would have at his disposal, and in general treating the rest of the staff like crap. This isn’t what I expect my family and I to be exposed to. Talking to the manager, Tristian, he mentioned that the boy was 18, and adult, and that he was not his parent. The way I see it, Tristian is the manager and responsible for all his staff while they are on shift. He said he would talk to the boy, but showed no concern over the scenario. I paid for the food and left a tip, but only because Marlene and the cooks did their job. I’ll eat from the QT before I go back to this place.

I had eaten here 2 times previously and the service and food were both good
This time, not so much.. My food was ok but not as hot. My server was a space cadet. She rushed me to order and when I asked for hot sauce and also asked for extra water for my tea bag I got neither. Her tip reflected my displeasure. Avoid this place!

Yuck! Poor food and poor service. We waited for a table and the manager kept going outside to smoke so he totally wreaked of cigarettes. Got a chicken salad and the lettuce was as brown as the chicken.

We have eaten breakfast here awhile back and it was pretty good. Reason for the 2 stars.
I happened to get a craving for apple pie. I stopped off, around midnight, and the place was busy enough to slow my order down. I ordered coffee and apple pie ala mode. MISTAKE! The apple pie was really doughy and the coffee tasted like they created a new pot with OLD grounds. EGADS!
The best part was eating the ice cream. I probably should have stopped off at Mickey Dees across the street, from what I hear their coffee has a lot more flavor than here.
