Denny’s

Update… CLOSED… Was driving down the road and this place is CLOSED, signs removed etc.

This was an icon here, and I’m so sad to see it gone. It wasn’t the best food, service was hit or miss, and mostly other customers ruined the experience.
But now it’s gone I’m sad, and feel I took it for granted.
There was a very nice man the last time we went, his name was Willie Jean or something like that, and I think he’s one of the best servers I’ve had. I hope he gets a job at the other locations.

I have been eating here for about 13 years (give or take) their food was good, the staff were nice and I have so many wonderful memories of eating here way past my bedtime… It was the go to place at midnight other ²⁴⁄₇ restaurants were not as nice… One Christmas the place mates had Madlibs on them, ever since then my family’s been addicted to doing Madlibs… We laughed here, we cried here, I will miss this place a lot…
Good Bye Denny’s

Cheap eats. OK service. Expected a 2 – 3 star experience, and I feel they met my expectations. Good if you’re under the weather and just want someone to make you some eggs.

I am traveling for work and found this Dennys through Unilocal.The service was fast, friendly and the food was much better than the Dennys in Los Angeles! Very impressed and was very happy with my experience here!

I wanted to write an update. The manager made things right with us and really took care of us. He made sure all the food was right before every giving it to me. He also gave me a large discount this time. I will be back when he is here. You can feel the difference in the restaurant tonight. Calm, inviting and just nice.

As much as I love Denny’s this one has a few issues. They seem to always be understaffed and not always the best service. Although the last time we went we had a great server who treated us so nice but that was our only good experience

After several pleasant visits to this location I had an experience that forces me to write a poor review for this location. The food here is fresh and well prepared and often satisfies my anytime breakfast cravings. But today I took my family in for brunch. It was a bit busy and there was a line so we waited patiently to be added to the list. A forceful fellow barged through the door and danced in the back of the line until a host finally asked if we were on the list. The impatient customer pushed his way to the counter and offered his party. I stepped up to point out that there were others waiting in line while many of the offended guests left to eat elsewhere. The host explained that there was no way for him to know who was in line first after watching the unruly jerk bowl over my two small children to cut the line. I calmly pointed out that if someone is in the BACK of a line they are obviously not next. He asked if I actually wanted to eat there. At that point I decided I did not want to. Nor would I ever want to in the future. No more Moons Over My Hammy for this guy.

We came here around 8 PM on a Sunday after attending a class and we were hungry. The place wasn’t full. One of the servers was very nice. The other that ended up waiting our table, was not really friendly. I ordered no cheese on my burger and when it came out, it had cheese on it. The food was pretty bad. My husband’s pot roast was so tiny and not very good. I could have made a much better meal at home. Sadly, my husband ended up forcing me to go to the Taco Bell next door since the Pot Roast was so small. We vow to never come back to this location.

You don’t really go to Denny’s for the gourmet cuisine, just your standard diner food, served fast & for a reasonable price. I was in there on a Sunday afternoon, the place was pretty slow, only 3 (out of 10 – 15) other tables in our section taken. We sat waiting with a hungry child over 20 minuets; no server in sight. Was not even brought water. I had to get up and leave. This is not the first time with ridiculously bad service & an unexplainable long wait. I’ve given up on this place. Don’t waste your time, there are many other places like this that WANT to have paying customers.

We came at Sunday brunch time and were fully expecting the place to be packed. Luckily, we slipped in during a lull and managed to have a dozen or more empty tables available. Unfortunately, the awful hostess sat us at the same table as a family of four was already eating. It was incredibly awkward and unnecessary. It was clear that the other family was equally as displeased with the ridiculous situation. They ate at rapid speed and left uncomfortably when a server tried to give them all of our food instead of their check. A situation that could’ve been resolved had they sat us at our own table.
As for the food, we’ve always considered Denny’s to have pretty decent and usually delicious diner food. What we were served today was hardly edible. The size of the plates has decreased and the Moons Over My Hammy sandwich was so incredibly greasy that the bread was a cold soggy sponge with rubber egg squares. My boyfriend was sick before he even finished the meal and ran to the bathroom as soon as we got home.
This location is not worth stopping at, even of you’re drunk in the middle of the night — you’d still leave disappointed.

I’ve been here twice. The first time we had a decent meal with no issues. The second time we waited to be acknowledged and seated for 10 minutes but neither happened. So we left and spent money elsewhere.

Bobby was our server and he was wonderful. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. Friendly and attentive. Food came out in a timely manner. Everything came out how I expected and no less. Definitely added to our experience in Portland with so many kind people we’ve come across.

I have been disappointed by Denny’s twice now. My most recent experience involved my husband and I waiting without being acknowledged by anyone after putting our name on the list. I should mention for most of the ten or fifteen minutes that we waited to be seated we had to listen to the manager berate the hostess for not understanding his waiting list system. Then waiting at least ten minutes to be offered beverages after being seated. And at that point we had to ask for it from another employee who was pretty sure it wasn’t their job but got our server for us. We finally got the chance to order and then we waited 30 min for our food while watching people that had arrived after us get their food. We hadn’t even been offered any refills. Literally no one came to our table. Finally I went and asked the manager how much longer it would be until we got our food and maybe some coffee. He disappeared into the kitchen for about five minutes. When he finally came out he advises us that our ticket was up next. I told him to cancel that because we were leaving. I timed it and we had been there for more than an hour. I have only encountered service like this a few times in my life. Oh well, I guess I will just have to get my pancakes somewhere else from now on.

I was not overly impressed, but my boyfriend and kiddos seemed to really enjoy their meals and it was super cheap. The establishment seemed old and shabby but the wait staff was very friendly. It’s cheap diner food so you get what you pay for.

Had super fast service, ordered our food and it was out within 7 minutes. They have a hobbit movie themed special meal called «hobbit hole breakfast» with bacon-​cheddar-​hash browns, and a delicious cheddar bun with the center cut out and an egg cooked into it. Perfect size, hot & fresh, and really great tasting! The waiter is attentive, quick, and really friendly.

Okay. I’ll give four stars to Denny’s any day. Sometimes the service can be slow. The thing that hit the five star mark here was our server Jeremy; speedy service with two annoying hindrances.
We walked into the restaurant and there were two obnoxious kids badgering (practically harassing) him about a video poker room or something in the back; not sure what it’s called. They didn’t have IDs on them, had the obnoxious SoCal attitude and then proceeded to tell him to «call the cops and they’ll come down and ID us so then you’ll have to let us in.» A moment of silence now for the death of logic and common F*ing sense! *silence* Call in the people and ask them to disregard the very laws they maintain because «we lost our IDs in LA»??? They also left a huge mess and spilled water all over the booth seats.
Jeremy was uncommonly patient and had a smile on his face the whole time. We told him it sucked and we were sorry he had to deal with stuff like that and he just laughed it off. I don’t know how he kept his cool. I would have been fired for smacking both these little brats in the back of the head. Had they called the cops there I’m sure they’d both have a shoe far up each —.
There was not much of a rush but as far as I could tell he was the only server and also the host and apparently forced to be a babysitter too. I suggest anyone who goes down to this Denny’s ask for Jeremy and leave him a big a** tip for the service and the attitude.
If Jeremy’s boss reads this… give this man a promotion!!! He’s an asset to your team and he deserves it.

There isn’t much to choose from with late night cravings but Denny’s haven’t disappointed me yet. Nice staff esp. For such late energetic groups. Really like their seasoned fries!

Place was quite clean and friendly! Came in on a Friday around 11:30am and Britney my server was very nice to me and the other guest in the location. She seems to enjoy being there and helping the customers.

If I could give this place a negative star I would. My family and I went to the Denny’s right next to Washington Square mall and we were waiting to be seating, correction acknowledged for 15 minutes. We received no greeting from anyone letting us know they would be with us soon. No hostess, no server, not even the manager that was ringing up some people that were leaving. As I scanned around I noticed that there were over five available tables that would accommodate my family. Never again will we be going to a Denny’s in Oregon. We even had a horrible experience at the Denny’s in Wilsonville off the freeway.
