Denny’s

The service here is almost always terrible. No one greets you. The portions on food is nothing like the advertisement, and they get mad at you if you ask them to correct it. The last time my fiancé and I had good service here was thanksgiving day of last year. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

Good place to go for a late night meal. Pancakes, scrambles, or other American dishes. I didn’t know but apparently they have a $ 2-​$ 4-​$ 6-​$ 8 value menu with things like all you can eat pancakes, pancake puppies sundae’s, and other things.

Waitress was nice but that’s about the only good thing I could say. Food took forever to get to us and wasn’t that great. There was slimy avocado stuck to the bottom of my toast. Please note that nobody at our table ordered anything with avocado in it. I can only imagine how dirty the kitchen is if they can’t keep avocado from spreading to other people’s plates.

THIS PLACE IS TRASH!!!
AVOID IT AT ALL COST!
So many bad experiences I can’t count.
I’ll never go back.
0 stars!!!

I have never had a bad experience with this establishment. It’s a Denny’s, so you don’t go there expecting much, just simple cheap food. When I have gone in late at night to grab a carry out order, they are always quick and this one nice lady always hooks me up fat with dipping sauces… unlike Burger King across the street. The older lady with the raspy voice who works in the morning is always really friendly… absolute doll. I can stroll out of this place fulfilled and still have a few bucks in my pocket… kiss my ass expensive diners, because I’m a Denny’s man.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and breakfast… At least that was my expectation. Service was terribly slow and the kitchen took what seemed like FOREVER to get my simple order up. The wait staff were overly stressed, for no reason except to look busy and gain the patrons pity it seemed. All I heard were complaints and excuses consistently as they ran around with their heads chopped off. To top it all off, I had to wait another 10 minutes standing at the register in the front to be cashed out…

What you would expect of a typical Denny’s. The food is very comforting (like every item on that menu). Our waitress was very friendly and quickly helped us to our tables, but she seemed a little bit overwhelmed by the lunch rush. But I can tell she was trying her best. Perhaps I will come back when I am in dire need of some comfort food after a long day of work

This review is in regards to an experience I had a few months back… I probably should have checked the reviews before I stopped in. It’s just not exactly something you’d think you would have to do before visiting a Dennys. I’ve survived many a road trip with their convenient and affordable food. As a company, they always seem to have consistent, quality service and food across the board. But this particular dennys is the first I’ve ever come across that was an exception to that rule. I arrived just before 8 in the evening. The host was not particularly thrilled to have customers coming through and my fiancé and I felt very unwelcome from the moment we walked through the doors. After being seated we waited 10 minutes for someone to come take our drink order. In a high traffic place, I would have been ok with the wait. But there was only one other customer in the building. After our drink order was placed we continued our very long wait. Meanwhile, a second couple walked through the doors and were seated and had their drink orders taken immediately. It seemed as though the waitress was avoiding our table for some unknown reason. We waited another 10 minutes. Our drink orders had not arrived. Meanwhile, the other couple had already received their drinks. We decided, foolishly, to give this place 5 more minutes of our time. In that time the other couple had their food order taken. And we still had yet to see our drinks. We gave that place 25 minutes of our time and had Finally had enough. So We left and had fast food instead. Im not sure why the waitress decided that my table was not worthy of her service, but at least I know now that this place is not worthy of my patronage. The next time I’m in KC I will be sure to avoid this terrible place.

I sat down THEN read the reviews. I figured I would be waiting and waiting for my food. However the service was excellent the food was perfect. All around a great experience. I don’t know what the other Unilocalers were talking about. I did have dinner not breakfast so maybe that was the difference.
Ask for Ben, is very professional, and friendly.

I’m convinced that the staff has been told they are closing this Dennys, because the service and the food has gone way downhill. We waited 30 minutes for our food. It came out wrong and we waited another 20 minutes for them to re-​do it.
If they are going to close, please do it quickly and put everyone out of their misery.

Sending this review while still WAITING! It’s been at least a half hour and our BREAKFAST has not arrived! The place only has 25 people! Super slow service! Waitress just comes to say it was her fault she forgot to put our order in! OMG that is your JOB Ruth!

Ehh the food was quite mediocre. I ordered the philly cheese steak omelette. It did not have enough steak. Our waitress was also on the mediocre side. She came to our table less than 4 times. At one point i waited 15+ minutes to get a refill on water. The tables are rather close for my liking also.

Twenty five minutes to get our order and it was only eggs. The first order came wrong and had to be sent back. Omg they came wrong again and the cooks are laughing. We walked out. Do not go to this Dennys!

Service was great and food was great. The manager was a real jerk though. He was verbally abusing a waitress in front of anyone and then stormed to the back all mad, shoving chairs out of his was.

They have a good sized parking lot and it’s conveniently located off the HWY or main routes, so there is no way you’ll get lost or have to detour to go there. I’ve been at this location maybe 3 – 4 times? The manager Patricia has always been very nice and very attentive. No long waits or anything of the sort for a table.
Food, well, it’s Denny’s, so think cheap and it can be as healthy or unhealthy as you choose from the menu (The photo I posted was of the turkey jack burger, which was yummy). The only thing that still has me a bit puzzled is, I do not know if it is a really strong team work, or a very weak communication/​personal time balance. Every time that I’ve been in, I get greeted by one person (who may or may not seat us, maybe someone else takes us to our table), taken the order by someone else, given drinks by someone else, food delivered by someone else, get checked on our food by one of the previous people, check dropped either by someone else or one of the previous people, and… so I have no idea if there are no «assigned» servers & they all work as a team, or if the staff is just so disorganized on their own things that everyone has to pick up after everyone. If I have a server I would like to know who my server is. Oh, and yeah, no one tells you their name so I have no clue who I am talking to.
Other than that little gripe of mine, it is all good and fun. They are friendly, to check on you, and like to make sure you are happy.
If you dont want to deal with traffic or parking issues, and crazy busy loud restaurants, then go to this Denny’s.

Greasy, cheesy carb-​loaded hangover breakfast? Check!

I don’t think I need to expound on the menu choices. At some point in your life you have dined at a Denny’s be it in college whilst studying for finals or for that after bar experience where you are sure the waitress is hitting on you and not trying to get a bigger tip. Two things make this Denny’s stand out: The service and the portions. I have never had bad service at the North Kansas City location. It has always been attentive and friendly. Other places such as the Perkins in Liberty or either Steak n Shake location up north should take notes from this Denny’s. The portions are right-​sized here. Lots of places (like Cracker Barrel and Perkins) have cut their portions as the economy got tougher. Not the NKC Denny’s. I get a meal with regular portions that looks close to what is on the menu. There are plenty of people who might turn their nose up at this place and the low-​brow reputation it carries. The NKC Denny’s does bring those noses back to a more normal level, though.

Aaron’s the best short order cook in KC!

Hey, it’s Denny’s.
As far as Denny’s go, it’s you know, a Denny’s. It’s open 24 hours, where else are you going? This particular Denny’s is frequented by late night drunks and casino burnouts, breakfast folks, early bird old timers, after church joined tables, weekday lunch workers… It’s a Denny’s.
Sometimes the service doesn’t suck, but if you catch the wrong lady on the wrong night, you might want to consider other options. Never cross a chainsmoking-northside-divorcee-denny’s waitress at 2am on a Wednesday. Just walk away brother.
The food is usually pretty hot and looks like the picture on the menu.
Right now Denny’s has a $ 2 biscuits & gravy with an egg or hash browns plus some other cheap stuff. So for $ 4 you can get TWO biscuits and gravy with an egg AND hash browns, with enough gravy to apply a thick layer to the entire surface of your breakfast foods. Their biscuits and gravy are some of my favorite of the generican all night diner holes. Good amount of pepper, sausage, and creaminess, and pretty decent biscuits.
It’s a freaking Denny’s!
