Denny’s

I think this is the first time I’ve been to the North Olmsted restaurant and I loved it! I was waiting for my car to get serviced down the road and stopped in to grab a bite to eat. Super nice waitress, great food and it was a pleasant experience.

I wish there were no stars.
You’re better off not ordering something difficult or long to cook, and we had an awful waitresses. Food is below average. Most of the waitresses/​waiters just stand around and talk, and its very slow. Our food took forever, the waitress took way to long to refill our drinks. Please seems dirty.

This Denny’s was clean and had a friendly staff. We had no problem ordering or receiving our food. Food quality was about the same as any other Denny’s. No problems.

Meh. You’re better off ordering to go so you don’t have to sit there with the awful waitresses. Food is average. Most of them just stand around and talk.

Horrible service that keeps getting worse. I could say more, but I don’t want to waste my time.

Best place to stop after work on the way home. I always order the grand slamwich.

It took us about an hr to get our food which was actually ok with us. The staff was short handed that night and the manager Maurice sat us and took our drink orders. Then about 10 mins later he took our order for food. At this point we realized there was only one other employee at Denny’s that night besides Maurice. My buddy went to the bathroom and saw in the kitchen that Maurice was cooking everyone’s food too. He sat us, waited on us, Cooked our food, and served it too us. All while taking care of 3 or four other tables at the same time. Maurice is a good hire Denny’s.

If I could give no stars, I would. One word Awful! The food, the service, the whole experience. My first time here and the LAST. My eggs were supposed to be over medium, they came out still raw. I sent them back and it took our server 10 minutes to bring them back out, and they were burnt?! My hashbrowns had a hair in them. Gross!
My girlfriends toast was burnt, and that also took 10 minutes to get after we ordered, and her daughters scrambled eggs were burnt, and her pancakes were like rubber. They were the microwaveable kind. How can you not serve real pancakes? Our server barely came over to check in on us, and it wasnt even busy?!
I will most certainly never go back

Denny’s is usually ‘hit or miss’ for me. Lately, the service has been on the slow side, and my eggs were very undercooked the last time I was there. My toast was also burnt, and it took forever to bring me a new one. I also had an unexpected, heated exchange of words with a most unsavory, neanderthal, ZZ Top bearded yahoo in the parking lot, who saw it was his life’s mission to inform me that I should ‘buy American’, as I got into my far superior foreign car! Now, i’ve always given this place the benefit of the doubt over the years, since it’s been a longtime local fixture, and I like to give my business to local establishments whenever possible. But I think i’m going to lay low for a while and frequent some of my other favorite local breakfast joints just down the road, where I see more Japanese and German cars parked, and where civility still reigns supreme!
UPDATE: June 2016. NEVER again! OK, the interior renovation as of late (last few years) looks nice, but the service here is a JOKE! It took forever for us to be recognized and given drinks, and forever to have our order taken and brought out to us! You are much better off going to a local diner than this SLOWWW moving joint! How can Denny’s stay in business with such pathetic service?!

Bang for your buck, kind of loud, the waitress was on top of it and fast, food was delicious and I’d return for sure. I just got the $ 4 biscuits and gravy with hash browns and eggs! What a deal! Tasty, filling, and cheap.

When we hit the road from Cleveland heading back to Chicago, we decided we’d stop for breakfast somewhere along our great westbound travels.
This Denny’s isn’t really much different than the others. The menu is the same, and my Superbird was just as greasy and satisfying as any other location makes.
We also shared the Strawberry Pancake Puppies. They were served with a white chocolate sauce/​frosting. They tasted more like donuts than pancakes, but these little pups were good enough that I might seek out Denny’s sooner rather than later for another breakfast.
The restaurant and tables were clean, and the service was attentive. It’s a good option in the area for breakfast or lunch.

This place isn’t so bad. I have received nothing but good service here… I usually just order the value slam BC I just need a quick pancake fix with some bacon and eggs… Every time I order the eggs from here they come out a little too greasy that I have to use a napkin to soak some of that up before I even think about putting it in my mouth. Their pancakes are pretty good for being a chain. They are usually fluffy except my last visit where it had some crusty ends BC it was a tad over cooked. Other than anything it is pretty clean and the staff is friendly but the cook needs to learn how to not use so much grease on those eggs.

Quick Review cause hey… it’s Denny’s and I feel like my comments below about the service aren’t fair because it was Fathers Day and they were clearly understaffed.
Food:
Blueberry Pancake Puppies — Phenomenal
Grandslamwich — Lots of cheese (too much) but was spot on (not the greatest but better than a homemade breakfast sandwich) (ask for a side of maple syrup to dip this in!)
Service:
Poor, took 15 minutes after being sat to get order taken, 10 more minutes to get water, and 30 minutes later to get food, (5 minutes after food got check haha)
Though again, understaffed on Fathers Day and this place was packed. So I feel like this is slightly unfair but this is a review and I call it like I see it.

My lovely beau didn’t want to go after a recent late night out, as he said that he has never had anything other than «the worst service ever» at Denny’s. In my mind, however, Denny’s is firmly tied to shiny happy family trips to Sarasota and the most awesome pancakes a little nine year old heart could wish for. Since he’s so sweet, lovely beau agreed to go, though he was not what you would call enthusiastic about it «Positive manifestation yo,» I responded with glee. Imagine our delight when our peppy server took our order quickly and had it correct and in front of our hungry faces in, quite literally, five minutes. The beau likes his bacon «burnt to hell,» a request that is almost never met. Our convivial young waiter went so far as to ask if the bacon was burnt enough and gladly offered to replace it with crispier pieces if not. Such enthusiasm and pride in his work. At an airport Denny’s. At 2am. Most restaurants near my homestead are run by apathetic, snotty high school kids who look as though they may quite possibly gut you for making them lift an entitled little finger to make your food. Or they’re just really, really dumb. Not this kid — he was awesome. Well played son — if we’re ever in the Cleve again we’ll be back and in your section. Three stars because, I mean, it’s Denny’s. The booths were shredded, the bathroom was covered in pee and smelled like death, and the security guard on duty suggested that things probably get unsettling pretty often. And the bacon wasn’t actually crispy enough, but it was nice that our server cared enough to ask. So, five stars for the server, three for everything else. It’s also worth noting that a guy who looked just like Ronnie James Dio was at the counter, and that was awesome.

Incredibly slow service. Took 10 minutes to just order drinks and 35 minutes to get our food. Would be understandable if they were busy but this place was empty. Service was decent and friendly.
Don’t come here if you are in a hurry or on a tight schedule.

If you go to the North Olmsted Denny’s many time you can be assured of at least one rotten experience. Two weeks ago my wife and I went to this Denny’s for breakfast. The restaurant wasn’t crowded and I ordered a Grand Slam and my wife ordered 1 egg and toast. We sat at the table for about 30 minutes and we noticed that people who came in after us were being served. We mentioned this to our waitress and she advised that the cook was behind and some of the waitress’s were trying to help out the cook.
We continued to wait for another 15 minutes and we were still not served. I asked to see the manager and the waitress said he was helping the cook. He finally came out I told him how bad his service was. He apologized, but offered no explanation.
Over the years I have had similar experiences with this Denny’s. They seem to have a high employee turnover and several times before I have found that the kitchen is either under staffed or just plain slow. When they don’t have service problems I enjoy eating there and I like their menu and prices. This Denny’s is so convenient to where I live I keep learning the hard way that I should pass it up and go to some other place.

Top shelf indeed. Their signature roast coffee is indeed a world class blend that all should experience. If money is no object, I suggest the French toast slam. Never before has such a delicious meal been presented to me in such style.

Went for a late nite dinner with friends. It’s Denny’s. Nothing was spectacular but everything was good. Service at this particular location was great, took it from 3 to 4 stars.

It’s Denny’s. Moderate service, good cheap food. ²⁴⁄₇. They have remodeled this one and it looks very nice.

Great for late night sessions of anything! The booths are more comfortable than the chairs. Sometimes you’ll get lucky and be in earshot of interesting conversation. But sometimes this will directly be counteracting your goal of getting some reading done. Another spot to catch high schoolers.
