Denny’s

This Denny’s is horrible. Let me start by saying that once you walk in the atmosphere is GHETTO. If you wanna know about Love and Hip Hop come here they will keep you updated. All the females aren’t there to work but to joke around for a paycheck and tips. If you want Denny’s go to San Antonio not the one here in Killeen.

worst place ever we we waited 25 min for drinks and our food was ok not the best try another place

The floors were dirty and food garbage. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and it was just mushrooms and green peppers slathered with melted cheese. Hardly any chicken. I did not have to pay. Never again

There is room for change. Although my last review was based on a bad experience, I now have a change of heart. I go to this Denny’s all the time. It’s not a 5 star steakhouse so I don’t treat it as such. The servers have gotten so much sweeter & it makes the trip worthwhile. I’m a regular & I’ve had my share of hit or miss experiences but I try to be understanding until you go out of your way to piss me off. I’d have to acknowledge Tim on his great customer service. Consistency is key. I’m not a picky eater so to me, diner food is good. The fact that it’s 24 hours makes it even better for my hungover self. I’ve come in here with a group of people who have had a bit to drink so as you can imagine, we were loud & pretty annoying. & the fact that we were still treated with courtesy, that was AMAZING. That takes patience. I am very happy.

The food was good, but the service was shabby. The host was busy flirting with the married guy, while we sat there waiting for them to quit flirting. She didn’t say anything to us until more showed up. The restaurant doesn’t stink anymore, coffee is horrible it tastes burnt.

Was reading that this Denny’s sucked but not so. No smell when walked in to restaurant used the bathroom and it was clean (it’s busy too). Service is great. Food was good. Looks like they did a remodeling too.

I read the reviews and knew what I was getting myself into going there. I had a small bit of «oh maybe they’re not so bad» optimism but that was quickly dimished as I walked in…
The smell was not of brunch but of body odor and grease. It was mid morning of a Sunday. It was busy with the mix of the church crowd & those who looked like they were recovering from a rough night. We stood in the small room that connected the lobby and the oitside entrance. It was our only relief from the smell without having to stand outside. It was brief as our party of 3 was quickly seated in the corner with a window view of the parking lot. Our waitress took our drink orders. I ordered the lemonade tea (which after a lot of clarification was the only «flavored tea» they had). When it arrived there was a red stringy substance in there. It almost resembled a blood clot. Needless to say I sent it back and ordered water.
The pancake puppies we ordered arrived and they looked burnt. However, after biting into them we found they were still doughy in the middle. I dissected one to show our waitress it was still raw and she gladly took them back for another order. I was a bit skeptical but the next batch came out fine.
Our main meals were a disappointment. The chicken fried steak was burnt and greasy. It was covered in a gelatinous glob that was the country gravy. The mashed potatoes looked waxy. The Super Bird was dry and wasn’t anything like the picture. The Santa Fe skillet was outrageously greasy. That was sound like an exaggeration but it really isn’t. I could cook an entirely new skillet with the grease that accumulated in my skillet. I could blame the fact that chorizo is naturally greasy but if that’s the case Dennys should account for the extra grease in some way.
I couldn’t wait to get out of there. The smell for some reason was really dominant in the area we sat in. We overheard the other family comment on the smell as well. We looked over with the understanding nod as to say, «Yeah, we smell it too».
We made our way to the counter to pay and realized the lemonade tea I sent back was still on the ticket. In passing we saw our waitress and she yelled over to the girl at the register to removed the tea. She seemed flustered and you could tell it was hectic for her. We asked for a plastic bag for the plate I didn’t really want to take home but we paid for it– and I hate to waste– and she semi-​apologetically said they were out and tried to justify the bag we had seen being handed to another customer was one that wasn’t supposed to handed out (???).
Anyway, it was a terrible experience. Don’t waste your hard earned money at this establishment! 0 stars if I could.

When we sat down the first things we heard was a worker in the back cursing and complaining about how things are bad and how hot it is. We had a table right next to the kitchen and could see and hear all. The girl handling the to-​go orders was grabbing food and putting them in to-​go boxes with her bare hand! Then she wiped her hands on her pants and did the next order, THE SAME WAY! If you order to-​go from this place, I’m praying for you. We thought after the remodeling and new crew that this place would change… it hasn’t.

The place has a very weird moppy water or sewer funky smell. For that reason I won’t be returning anytime soon.

I come here all the time after a night out with friends. I’ve never had a bad experience and we usually get decent service. Tonight we went there and I found a piece of bacon in my food after I was very specific and made it clear I was a vegetarian and requested that my food be cooked away from any meats. I politely told her that I found bacon in my food and she was very rude about it and said I’m the general manager and I know for a fact they cooked it on a separate grill then she walked away laughing. I am absolutely appalled at this waitress and my experience tonight and thanks to her I will not be back to this Denny’s.

Worst Denny’s I’ve ever been to. Been here 3 times and the food is always cold and we had to wait forever for refills ! Overall not good.

Arrived at 0530, good service. Ordered one of the fantastic 4 breakfast specials. Food was as expected for Denny’s. ⁴⁄₅ due to the strange odor, overall good experience.

I wasn’t really a big fan of Denny’s until I visited this location, the staff are very friendly and make you feel like family no fakeness its all real! I can charge my devices up on the bottom of the seats while I wait for my food! The foods ready in like 7 – 15 minutes depending on what you order. The best thing about this Denny’s is that the food was hot and really delicious including the dessert, which is exactly the opposite experience i had at a denny’s in Chicago! Ill keep coming back for a long time, and hopefully make it for the grand reopening this Friday! There’s going to be a lot of events and prizes for the grand opening Friday for people of all ages!

I really wish the option to give a negative star was possible bc that’s what this place deserves.
Went here Saturday morning and it was packed so we left. We came back late at night hoping to get quick service and boy were we extremely disappointed.
Came in and waited to be seated for a good 5 mins when the server continued to walk back-​and-​forth to a table. He could’ve at least said «I’ll be right with you’ll» instead of pretending we weren’t standing there waiting. He eventually spoke to us and told us to choose anywhere to sit and when we did he rudely told us «aye yo come over here not over there». Sitting in the area that he designated us we continued to wait for service as he flirted with a woman at the table across from us. Keep in mind he was the only waiter/​server on the floor. When he eventually came to cater to us asking what it was we wanted my husband asked for menus. Which should’ve been given to us a little after we sat down. My husband asked for a caramel coffee and my friend & I ordered water. He came back much later with our water and no coffee. He said he’d be right back with the coffee. He then continued to go back-​and-​forth to the same table with the woman. Then he disappeared for 25mins to the back and we could here him shooting the shit with the coworkers in the kitchen I stood up and took my son and told my husband and my friend that I was leaving and would wait for them in the car.
The later followed when they realized the server wasn’t going to be back anytime soon with the coffee. Despicable.
If you want quality Customer Service don’t ever come here. I highly DON’T recommend it. I respect waiters/​waitresses/​servers because I was once one but there was no excuse for this guy to be such a terrible server.

I should have turned around and left as soon as I opened the door to the restaurant and got a whiff of the odor. Still not sure what it was but it wasn’t pleasant. It was 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Restaurant was not busy at all. I was seated promptly but it was a while before anyone came to take my drink order or food order. Of the two servers that I had interactions with, one was quite friendly and professional. The other was friendly but very unprofessional. When arriving at the table to take the order, instead of asking me what I would like, she said «talk to me, Momma…» She acted overly familiar for someone I didn’t know. Was just kind of uncomfortable.
If that had been the extent of the negative, I would have given it three stars/​circles. However, the food was disappointing as well. I ordered a «Hearty Skillet» with over easy eggs. Skillet arrived at my table with a nice sized sausage but a very skimpy portion of potatoes and veggies. The eggs were over HARD. When I pointed it out to the server she said «I can see that.» Why she didn’t see it before she delivered it to my table, I don’t know… And why she didn’t offer to do anything about it, I don’t know. At that point I just wanted to make the best of it and get out of there. That’s when I noticed that the Tropical Pancake Buddies I had ordered on the side were original, not tropical and that they also were over cooked. I ate my over cooked skillet and a couple of the pancake buddies and went to the front to pay. When asked how everything was, I answered «honestly, very disappointing.» The cashier replied «okay, that will be $ 12.47.» Not sure why she even bothered to ask how everything was since she either wasn’t listening or didn’t care.
The only redeeming part of this visit to Denny’s was the one server but sadly her friendly professionalism wasn’t enough to compensate for all of the negative aspects.

We come here once in a while for breakfast. I can honestly say we never had a bad waitress and that is pretty amazing in this day and age. The food is good, just your regular American diner breakfast, but what I do like a lot is that there are leaner/​healthier options to be had here. The one thing I do not like are their a/​c vents: they can blow directly on some seats and it can get pretty chilly. So bring a sweater or make sure you get a table without a vent…

I give one star because the waitress was good but I was seated at one of the dirty tables that had not been wiped down, and there was only one other customer in there at the time. I order and look at my silverware and the spoon has some crusty white stuff on it. I get my breakfast and the bacon is cold and most likely cooked hours earlier.
As for the smell… when you walk in the restrooms are just to your right and they are horrendous!
Do not recommend eating here!

It’s Denny’s, what can I say. Not exactly the definition of fine dining. We’ve been there quite a few times and the service has always been decent. The food is average. And the prices are good. Tonight we stopped there on the way home after an outing and while the place was nearly empty I wasn’t expecting the service to be good. I was wrong. The waitress was mostly attentive. And the food arrived very quickly and was prepared well. No complaints. My son loves this place and we will return again whenever we want a fast & cheap family dinner.

Want a review in a nutshell?
Great food but SLOW, GHETTO, SMELLY, and RUDE service.
The carpet smells like mildew and smoke. I can imagine this carpet hasn’t been changed for well over a decade before the «No smoking in buildings» law ever came into effect here.
The 2 out of 3 times I’ve been here my server has been slow, unconcerned, ghetto, and rude. Only once did I have a welcoming server and still… her service was slow. The servers just DON’T CARE. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about their service. They don’t care about their company.
The last visit I had with this place, graveyard shift at the beginning of August, the server decided to share a story about how she got «fucked up» last night. She then proceeded to grab my friends phone from the table, after she received a text from her husband, read the text, and tell her she needs to text him back. I watched her sit at a groups table just talking and cursing and laughing it up while she failed to bring certain things we asked for, for our food. Finally I asked for our check and she said «Ok be right back» and THAT took 15 MINUTES just for her to tell me «Oh just go to the register».
DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE DURING THE NIGHT, NEVER!!! There were fights and police cops guarding the building… it was ridiculous. Even going during the day is questionable.
I really enjoy the healthy breakfast choices they have and the food is good but this place needs help… fast.

Honestly, I should have left before I ordered. I won’t be going back and I recommend you don’t go either.
We walked in and were greeted by a smell that is oddly reminiscent of urine and mold. The place is dark and damp, with moisture clinging to everything. No surface was clean and the staff just seemed resigned to the fact that it wasn’t going to get any better.
Let’s just get down to it.
The good:
I’m hard-​pressed here. Normally I can find something good about anywhere I go. I feel a bit bad saying this but there isn’t one redeeming quality here.
The bad:
Let’s start with the basics. Floor is dirty, our table was sticky, the walls were grimy, the silverware wasn’t in good shape, the staff need a bit of organization training, the menu was sticky and had food particles on it, then we ordered.
The glasses have large chips in the rim and mine had a crack. My husband had the bourbon bacon burger with fries. It was decent but over cooked. I had the fish and fries with macaroni and cheese. The oil used to fry the fish was old and the fish came out over-​cooked and greasy. The mac&cheese was actually gritty and mushy, which is amazingly gross. The sweet tea had gone bad and had a whang.
The skinny:
Skip it. You deserve better, as did I. My money is hard-​earned and they haven’t proven deserving of any more than I have already wasted on them.
Lord, this town needs a Village Inn.
