Denny’s

I’m not typically a fan of Denny’s, but was rather impressed by my visit here a couple days ago. It was a pleasant surprise.
My mother wanted to go to Denny’s for the free grand slam they give you on your birthday. Was I excited by this plan? Not even close.
We walked in around 7am and there were just a few other customers. Our waiter greeted us immediately, and told us to sit wherever we wanted. I like that I could sit anywhere.
The waiter (I forget his name) was attentive. My best friend called me and wanted to wish my mother a happy birthday. So she was on the phone for almost ten minutes. Our waiter elected to wait until the conversation was over before returning to the table. He was patient without ignoring us or interrupting. He checked on us at regular intervals. There were like three other customers in the restaurant, but he wasn’t bored. He was always doing something and staying busy.
My mother obviously had the grand slam. My husband had the red, white, and bacon. I had French toast and these stuffed tater tot things. Food was all hot and fresh, which gets huge points right there. My only real complaint was the French toast had cinnamon on it, and I wasn’t a big fan. Other than that, it was really good. I love the fact they have small portion «value» items on their menu. A single piece of French toast, or a biscuit and gravy with an egg, for $ 2. Sometimes that small portion is perfect for me.
Would I go back? Actually, yes. Which surprises the hell out of me to say. I’ve never been a big Denny’s fan, and so it was a pleasant change to see one with decent food and service.

The food was OK very very greasy the manager was very nice but the watriess was extremely rude and there was only a couple other people in eating not like they were busy or backed up I got better service from a McDonald’s when they busy then I did here. Will not repeat my visit here edit few hours later* another reason not to go back I got sick.

Everything you’d expect from Denny’s it’s a 5 star Denny’s which makes it low average compared to other eateries. Quick, standard fare in a clean, easy access place. That’s it. If you’re looking for really good food in the area, try Ciao pizza on the other age of Gateway or Aiyara Thai a few blocks south. If you’re looking for mass produced fast food in a sit down setting, this place will do.

Driving from Lacey, WA to Florence, OR we decided to stop to get breakfast at this location. The service was excellent since we got there. We got our drinks right away and kept refilling them on time. We ordered biscuits and gravy with eggs and hashbrowns. The biscuits were great and the eggs were excellent. The wheat pancakes that I ordered were good the bowl of fruit delicious. Cant wait to come to this dennys again.

Scary.
The only word to describe what it must be like to work at this location. I honestly feel bad for anyone who has to deal with two chefs yelling at each other while not getting at food out. In-​fact, two different parties left in the time I was here waiting for my food.
In-​fact, there were two or three moments during my wait where I actually thought to myself: «do they (the chefs) actually work here?»
Although my food was great (I had been craving a good ol’ Dennys Breakfast for a week), I hadn’t expected the service to be so slow at 11:30PM on a weekday.
The Hostess/​Cashier and ONLY waitress that night did a superb job trying to keep an obviously incompatible kitchen staff working… to the best of her and anyone’s else ability. And for this, she got a well-​deserved tip.
** I will probably come back in a month or so and give them another try. I’d like to think this was just a fluke.

Stopped in on a drive from the Bay to Seattle. Normally do IHOP but stopped here as the reviews of this location were better… and I can see why.
Probably the BEST food at a Deny’s I have ever had. The food came out fast, and was hot and fresh. I seriously have never had a better experience at a Denny’s. The staff was great and friendly as well. If ever in the area, I will stop by again.

Food has always just been. food. It’s a good place to get together with the family. Always pretty busy and parking can be kinda hard. The staff is okay. Some are nice, some are iffy. Prices are decent and so are the selections. Nothing special. The only real complaint I had was when my mom asked for slightly runny eggs and the cook looked at her and said «You can scramble eggs and still make them runny?» Kinda made me laugh.

My boyfriend and I ate here last night. We were both impressed by the service and atmosphere (pretty classy… for a Denny’s)
The wait staff was quick and courteous. They checked in on us enough to not have to wait for fill ups, but not so much that we felt harassed.
I have eaten at Denny’s across the country and this one had the best Moons Over My Hammy. The hash browns were good, not over cooked and dripping with grease.
Happy with this one.

It is great for midnight munchies! Walking distance to our hotel. The service here is always slow. We always leave satisfied and happy! Tonight my husband ordered the prime rib Cobb salad and my son ordered strawberry donut holes! Both were happy! I just had wine… Sutter Home. Wine is wine.

We go to Denny’s quite often for breakfast as its close and usually friendly. However, this morning around 10 am we were very disappointed. The service was unusually unfriendly? Never had this waitress before. One of us had coffee and was never brought a re-​fill or asked if we wanted one until we were getting up to leave. the scrambled eggs were NOT SCRAMBLED, they might have been twirled while they were cooked and the whites NOT incorporated into the yellow. The white part was like snot and runny. Ugh.
Maybe a new cook who doesn’t know what scrambled eggs are supposed to be. The waitress asked if everything was ok and when I mentioned the eggs, her reply was «well we now use «real» eggs. Wonder what they used before? The hash browns we only cooked on one side? What is going on Denny’s?
To scramble eggs, you put them in a bowl and beat or whip them, you don’t put them on the grill and half stir them. Hash browns you brown on one side, then turn over and brown on the other side … No more short cuts.

One word to describe the service at the location, Awful. After arriving on a busy Saturday, myself and my 5 month pregnant wife came to the Springfield Denny’s for lunch. We were told there would be a short wait, so we sat down with around 10 other People waiting for a table. After 20 minuets (3x as long as we were told for seating) some loud mouth gentlemen, came and pointed to empty seats that had just bet cleared and loudly proclaimed «I’m hungry and want to eat now, I’ll take those two seats» and proceeded to sit himself down.
Hostess did noting, let him jump 12 people who had all been waiting quite a bit of time and sat him down. Is this how is works? You have to be pushy and rude to get a table here? No thanks, I will not be back.

We had a really nice experience at this Denny’s tonight. Stephanie was our waitress and she went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. She was very kind to our two little boys and really set us up for our long overnight drive. And the food was served quickly and was very yummy and quite affordable. Thanks!

Denny’s has such friendly service, and while you can probably find better food locally, in terms of seasonal and locally grown ingredients, you can always count on Denny’s for consistency. When we tried to go to our favorite brunch place on a snow day, we found it closed. Denny’s was open, and that counts for a lot when you’re hungry!
Believe it or not, but Denny’s not only has a decent and diverse breakfast with good low cal options and the occasional awesome Hobbit menu, they also have the best nachos in town. Piled high with toppings and drenched in an amazing fundido-​style sauce (not your usual yellow nacho cheese), it doesn’t get much better than this to be honest, as far as local nachos go.

Their food has really stepped up a notch. The make-​your-​own-​burger is the greatest invention since the burger. The staff was friendly and service was great.

I love going to this Denny’s. Courtney also knows me by my order and seats me quickly. All the staff there are helpful and bring me refills before I even ask. Being a college Student I love coming here because of the 2, 4, 6, 8 menu! Go Denny’s!

Love it awesome staff, food, and service.

Steph is awesome!
And it’s a Denny’s — you know you’ll get the same from any other Denny’s!

Visiting my mom here in Oregon I decided to take her out for breakfast at Denny’s. It wasn’t what i expected. Services was horrible the waiter kept us waiting for a good 10 mins while she being the cashier. By the time we got seated placing our order was another 10 min wait. By the look of it most of the people that was seated around us got up and left since there was no table service. I drank about 5 cups of coffee till we were able to order.
Our food took about an 1 hr ½ the food wasn’t that great either. It wasn’t worth coming here on 4^th of July could have gone to IHOP and got better service.

I am giving a 5 star review for 3 reasons.
1) Service: We were seated in a timely manner, our waitress (Carrie) was fantastic. She was always checking on us to see if we needed or wanted anything. (5 stars)
2) the table was clean, the floor was clean, and the music wasn’t blaring loud. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. (5 stars)
3) I ordered the bacon slamburger with an over easy eggs, and fries on the side. The hashbrowns were cooked perfect on my burger, the egg was perfect so that when I cut my burger the egg yoke drained all over my burger. Its what I like, the burger was delicious its one of my favorites and they nailed it (5 stars)
This dennys was better then a lot of places I have been too, even previous denny where my order was screwed up. I like this dennys, the service was awesome, the food was perfect :-)

I also can’t believe I’m reviewing Denny’s…I guess cause this experience wasn’t the greatest.
Every few months my parents come down to see the kids and have breakfast. My father still has the «king» rank when he’s around. He’s a simple man who enjoys beer, hunting, fishing and the outdoor channel. That said, he isn’t anyone who you’ll see ordering vegan or veggie anything… Denny’s it is.
As I’m loading up on Prilosec, the hostess says the wait will be about 5 minutes. We sat there patiently and waited… and waited… and waited. Cutting to the point, we waited 25 minutes to eat… at a flippin Dennys. There’s places I didn’t wait that long to eat in Vegas! I do have to say I inherited my fathers tolerance when my patients have been exhausted. The lady came up to us about 15 min into our wait and asked if we wanted to be seated separately. I replied, «We are all a FAMILY here… and we would enjoy eating breakfast TOGETHER if that’s ok!» The lady explained to me how some people dont mind it at all. Hmmmm… Ok? I never heard of that one… but then again… I was pissed waiting 20+ min at a Dennys for a poor attempt at breakfast.
Long story short, they finally had a larger booth open and we got seated. The lady said she was SOOOO sorry for the wait that she wanted to give us a few glasses of Orange Juice for the trouble. Thank god for an internal monologue… It allowed me to get more frustration off my chest.
our waitress knew of the long ass wait we had, and to be honest… she shined. She did an outstanding job and we were really happy with that. She’s better off finding a new place to waitress at because she’s not Denny’s material. She was a great waitress. Hence the 2 stars… they belong to her. If not for her it’s a fatty ZERO everytime.
ok ok… the pancakes weren’t bad… but still… MEH!
