No good deed goes unpunished. First good review, then, now, a late night visit to the 51st Ave and Indian School Road location. I’ve had enough breakfast sandwiches to last me a lifetime, so a couple eggs on a plate in a real restaurant sounded good. Grand Slam: eggs, sausage, hashed Browns, toast-I just felt like it. I should’ve known the instant I saw the sausages but I was so hungry I just started eating. A sausage that’s been cooked on a grill has been seared; there’s no way it can wrinkle. But a sausage that’s wrinkled, or crêpe-looking, has been cooked in the deep fryer. It’s an old restaurant shortcut, and it’s not against the law but their grease was old, it fouled the sausage and it left me feeling less than well. Maybe it’s my delicate demeanor… or tummy. I called the restaurant the next day, I was told they never fry the sausages and in my opinion, that is a lie. I called Dennys Customer Service on a 1 – 800 number and 7 days later no one had called me. I called Denny’s back and asked that management should call me. When I got the call it was is fruitless and full of denial as was the call to the local restaurant. I can assure you that I’ll be eating at Petsmart before I go back to Dennys. Any Denny’s. And by the way, another coat of paint at this location just isn’t going to make it any better. It’s old, it looks run down, like a slum Denny’s, and so was the food. Hey Dennys: CHANGETHEGREASE!

We walked in and the first thing we smelled was sewage. We had to get the host attention to be greeted and asked how many were eating me. We asked to be seated away from the smell and they tried sitting next to the bathrooms after making it clear that we were displeased with it.

Not too happy with the service last night. Waitress was kind of mean to me when I asked about the wifi. I actually drove out of my way to go study there as well as have dinner and drink coffee. Once I found out the wifi was down and they weren’t going to restart the wifi router or attempt to turn it on, I cancelled my order. I got the feeling that they intentionally turned off the wifi.

So, I came to visit a friend in AZ, and decided to treat her and her bf to breakfast for their sweet hospitality, while I visited. After a hike on the mountain we agreed on here. Our server was sweet, and pleasant and attentive. She got all our orders correct and was fast and efficient. The restaurant was clean, the staff in the front upon entering could have been friendlier but what are you gonna do?! Overrall, it was a decent experience.

I ‘celebrated’ my birthday enjoying their free Grand Slam dinner on the way home after an evening of shopping last night, which they generously offer and you just provide your photo ID as proof of your birthday ON your birthday. I opted for the vegetarian 4 choices of the Grand Slam: stack of 2 pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and English muffins. They were tasty and cooked /prepped well. I waited awhile before they were served so that gave me the feel they actually cooked the food. Penny was the young waitress on duty and was very polite, and the manager on duty said to me upon checking out, «happy birthday» ;) I usually eat at the location annually whenever necessary(since it’s close to where I shop & live) — usually on the way home after shopping for my gifts. I prefer the evenings since it’s less busy. They remodeled and retained the original signature mid-century diner look. It was clean(including the restroom) and even passed the health inspection. They even have TVs on with closed-captioning. I thank them for their generous meal(and even remember their free Super Bowl breakfasts– what a crowd that event attracted), so they must be doing well. I also have had good experiences at the location for my past couple birthdays and therefore may eat there again for my future birthdays!

Service was hopping on a pretty busy Saturday morning. Our waitress, Jasmine, was very knowledgeable and an excellent server. The GF girl got the fit breakfast with a gluten-free muffin much she enjoyed. I had the grand slam breakfast, which is free on your birthday if you provide ID.

I’ve passed by this Denny’s about 1000 times. Went in for breakfast with my wife and son and had a Great experience. Service was excellent, food was good, and atmosphere was ideal for eating and laughing with family.

Taryn has to be the absolute best server in the history of servers. She always makes me feel like a best friend every time I come here to munch on some good eats. She is always so insightful on what would be best to order if you ever have questions.

Dennys is your basic diner. It’s great for what it is. I often order take away when I’ve had to work late. Not to many choices after 10pm. Friendly service and you almost always run into someone you know. This dennys is virtually a landmark even with the remodeling. Jenny’s/ gay dennys/or just plain 7th st dennys. However you know this place, expect a decent meal for a decent price.

We always go to this Denny’s. but we usually dine in. Tonight I dropped in for take away. A server named Rachel took my order and helped when what I wanted was no longer on the menu. she made it possible for me to order it anyways. I didn’t check the order before leaving the restaurant. It was perfect except the kitchen neglected to include my bread. My family is kind of particular about certain things and we almost always special order. All the«special» orders were remembered and the server was awesome. I was out the door, food in hand within 12 mins of placing the order. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was the meals were a little on the small side and the forgotten bread. You always know what you’ll get with Denny’s food, but the service can be dodgy. Tonight it was beyond good and Rachel rocks!!!

I have eaten here many times the staff is great and friendly. The remodeling gives this place the old time at home dinner feeling. Love to meet here for business or just meeting friends. Wish the rest if them were like this one. Can’t beat the speed of service any place in town. This location is one of the after bar stops and gets extremely busy after 1 am nightly. It is well worth th wait.

Yes, this is a Denny’s. It is not a restaurant at the Four Seasons! But not all Denny’s are created equal. This restaurant has recently been updated and it is very nice. It is very clean. The servers seen to like their jobs. While the food is general Denny’s fare, they are constantly adding new menu items. If you have not been to a Denny’s for a while, give this one a try. You will be pleasantly surprised. Remember, however, it still is not the Four Seasons!

We were very rushed today. We waited a bit for a table, but once seated, had no service for quite a while. Lena came and inquired of our drink order has been taken. We told her it hadn’t, and she offered to take it, while explaining how slammed they’d been, and that she’d been scheduled to leave at 6, but was staying to help out. She offered to take our food order, and get it put in right away. We received our food very quickly. The efforts of this wonderful woman made our day considerably less stressful, and she should be highly commended. P. S. I love the new décor

It was 10:00PM on a week night and not much is open around Central Phoenix aside from fast food, so went with the old reliable Denny’s at 7th Street & Camelback, aka«the gay Denny’s» or «Jenny’s», due to its renown as a repository for the after-closing-time crowd — that didn’t go home with somebody. My barbeque cheddar & avocado burger was absolutely massive, came with a modest quantity of largish(hand-cut?) fries, and was really quite tasty, even apart from my ravenous hunger of the moment. The food was solid, the value good, the service prompt and courteous. The dining area was clean, the men’s room sanitary and fully stocked, and nobody left hungry. That works.

We call this Gay Denny’s or Jenny’s. It’s really like any other Denny’s. There’s no reason for you to drive to this one because it makes more sense to go to the one in your neighborhood. Usually, we go to this one when there’s an event in Downtown Phoenix. It’s nearby. Other reasons that I go? My friends are poor and Denny’s open late. Otherwise, you should never eat at Denny’s.
