Great food, love the new menu choices. Staff did great with multiple tables and only 3 people working.

While the place was clean and everyone was friendly, there was only one server working and I had to wait over half an hour to place my order and get my food

Im giving 2 stars because the service was horrible. The food was great but took forever to just get anyone to take order. We were given an empty ketchup bottle and never asked if needed anything else.

Didn’t even get part of our orders. Food was burnt to hell but we sat waiting for 40min so it came out cold. At first we were told we’d get 20% off but that was before I waited 10min after getting our already cold food for silverware. Some of the glasses were dirty so we didn’t even drink them. Told this to the girl at the front and the manager comped the whole shabang. They literally just need leadership and organizing and they’d be fine. Worst service I’ve had by far.

Considering the Dennys I grew up with, this Dennys is top notch. The prices are about in line with other sit-down, all-day-menu places. The food was way better than I expected. I had the lumberjack slam with pancakes. Everything was excellent and cooked perfectly. If there was something I feel could have been better, the bread choices could use English muffins and bagels. At these prices, it wouldn't cut into profits too much.The restaurant itself had plenty of parking. The space was smaller and grungier than Dennys I was used to. However, the interior had the feeling of a "Greek" diner, which I also grew up with, so it appealed to me just fine (if only there was homemade rice pudding...).5 stars. Too expensive for most students, but restaurant is on the "townie" side of 51.

They did have ketup for hash browns, how you do not have no ketup

Went in for to go order and it was very quiet and inviting. Order was taken with great customer service and food came quick! Also food was brought out to the car! Nice!

Bad service, bad food is the standard. It is often like they do not care. On rare occasion you may get a good server. IHOP is open and better food and service

We liked eating here years ago, till they switched to chorizo and then we started getting bad experiences.With traveling around we needed eating at a few other Dennys restaurants and it has been good.We tried here again and it was horrible.The waitress was nice, but that was it.Me and my wife ordered full order of loaded nachos, pot roast sandwich and loaded bacon cheddar tots.With my sandwich, I asked to add green peppers and a side of the boubon sauce, with onion rings, menu said .89 for onion rings.Wife got the loaded potatoes and loaded nachos in a full order we could share.The tots where ok, seemed like the missed half of the toppings.The full order of loaded nachos came out in a bowl with the nastiest greasy meat on it and nothing else.When asked the waitress, she said they normally come in a bigger platter, she took back and they just threw some sour cream on same order and a side of jalapeños.Still 1/4 or less the size a full order should be.Hard to screw up loaded nachos, but bravo, they managed to do so.The pot roast sandwich was plain and soggy. Brare sandwich and they gave me a side of onions, which was supposed to be on the sandwich and no peppers, when I asked about the side of bourbon sauce she said it was in the bowl, which was the au jus sauce that came with sandwich.Bill was still for a full order of nachos and 2.19 for onion rings when menu said .89We where polite the whole time, but aggrevated on how bad everything was messed up.They only thing that was not messed up was the glass of water, which I am surprised they used tap water instead of water from a mop bucket, to completely screw up everything.We where not alone, it seemed like everyone else's order was messed up also.

While I understand there are many places that are shorthanded, there was absolutely no reason for what took place.. We took our grandkids to eat.. Was not that busy, maybe 3 or 4 other tables. we were seated and then waited for server, and waited. finally came for drink order but we were ready to give the food order also. there was 5 of us. we ordered 1 sandwich, 1 lumberjack breakfast, 1 biscuit and gravy, 1 pancake and 2 eggs, 3item appetizer and 1/2 order of nachos. now that may sound like a lot but, trust me it really wasn't. we got the food and 1 order was right, just one!! order was chocolate chip pancakes, nope plain.., no toast, no bacon no sausage with breakfast, had to ask, never did get toast. biscuit hard. had asked for country gravy with no sausage, nope served with meat.. asked for condiments and she brought another 2 items out, no condiments. said had to ring someone up and be back with refills. I asked if we could at least get condiments, salt pepper, ketchup, syrup. she finally got that stuff and we never saw her again. no refills no everything okay? nada... ALL of the food was either lukewarm or cool. the butter wouldn't even melt, stayed the round clump entire time haven't even got to the best part.... the bill was 88 bucks... not even lying. I went to pay and told her straight up I wasn't paying this amount, told her everything that was wrong and the overcharged amount.. she gave a discount that she said she was allowed. whatever.. lesson learned... I didn't even want to give 1 star rating, but had to pick one.. will never, ever go here again.. worst service and food I have ever had

Good food.Our waitress was very friendly and took very good care of our breakfast.

The only reason I gave it 1 star was because the waitress was the only good part. The food was horrible. Ordered appetizers, they came out 30 minutes after we ordered with our burgers. The mozzarella sticks had exploded to the point that some where just breading. They turned them over in the basket so we couldn't see it until we started eating. We got 2 full overcooked onion rings, the rest were burnt pieces with no onion left inside. The queso was good but the chips had been dropped back into the fryer and were saturated with oil. To the point it was just sitting in the bottom of the bowl. Both burgers were completely fried to a crisp and I didn't even get the burger I ordered. The fries were cold and hard. Should have went to McDonald's. It would have been better

Service here is very good. we had a thoughtful and friendly server. She kept our drinks topped off and brought me an iced tea to go for the road. The food is what you would expect at a Denny's. The pancakes were the strongest part of our experience. The hash browns are not great, in part rock hard and in part seemingly uncooked. My omelette was good. This meal was about 20x better than what our hotel offered so I would go back.

I have an hour lunch. It took 15 minutes before someone took my order. Then by the time I got my food, I only had 15 minutes to eat! sorry but that is ridiculous! Not to mention that my food wasn't even warm by the time I got it!
