Denny’s

Was in the mood for breakfast food so we decided Denny’s over iHop. We got there a little past midday & the restaurant was fairly empty but it did start to get a tad busy around 1:30. We were seated immediately by the manager. To start — I tried the mango lemonade but sent it back … waaaay too sweet for me so I switched it out for Sprite then the Sprite was flat :(lol … our waitress was really sweet though & checked on me often :)
I had the grand slamwich as my meal. So many calories but soooo good lol. Menu prices are more than reasonable & you get a nice portion. I felt well taken care of & everyone was really nice & polite. I’ll definitely be back … especially since I don’t have a Denny’s in my area — this one is close enough to be my go-​to.

Inexpensive food, staff is hit and miss. Breakfast servers were friendly and competent. Late night servers were not. At least two late night servers had to return to my table to confirm my order. Late night sizzling platter wasn’t hot, but the breakfast ones were. Recommend breakfast, but not late night.

Looks like new ownership. Coffee was burned. Food was over cooked. Used to go here every week now. Not going back again.

Surprisingly good coffee, acceptable if tasteless food, and almost ZERO calories!
It’s been years since I’ve wound up at a Denny’s and wasn’t expecting too much. I got more than I bargained for.
The first thing I noticed was that the coffee was actually not bad. Far from looking or tasting like Flint, MI water, it was actually enjoyable.
I ordered an All-​American Slam. Half the plate was covered with Hash Browns, My sunny-​side up eggs were cold, the bacon was only two strips because someone had ripped one strip in half, and the rye toast wasn’t bad (especially the slice that had butter on it). All in all, the food seemed better than I was expecting.
The zero calories came when I got home about an hour later and headed for the restroom. Let’s just say I can’t imagine my body absorbing many calories uptil then and afterwards there was nothing left of the meal to contribute any calories.
For me, a 2-​star rating means I will never return on my own and recommend alternatives if others suggest it. This was clearly a time when I should have suggested alternatives much harder.

Waitress Vanessa took our orders quickly. Great waitress. Both had grand slams. Havent had in years. The pancakes are. Just as good as i remember. Manager Sabrina greeted all who came in. A very good experience.

I love this Denny’s location! Everyone is very friendly. I remember back in the day being discriminated against when I went to a Denny’s in Landover. Denny’s has really turned things around. The food is far better than I remember. As a matter of fact it’s better than most chains like this. They serve grits all day if your a grit liver like me. Oh I can’t forget the hot chocolate! The hot chocolate is great, just don’t burn your mouth. They also gave me a gluten free English muffin to try which was very light & delicious. I’m a fan!

Every Monday morning after ‘birding’ at Huntley Meadows Park, about 24 people have breakfast then review the bird list to determine how many species were seen and the amounts. They’ve been going here for over ten years.

Took forever, didn’t keep coffee refilled, staggered our tables meals, forgot to put my order in so brought my appetizer after one person got their meal. Brought the wrong dipping sauce. Meals were cold. Worst Denny’s ever.

Late dinner after very long day at work. Great service! Placed my to-​go order, was offered and given a cup of coffee while I waited.

I should have stayed at home and cooked my own breakfast. The pancakes I got served were rubbery and tough.

Expectations for a Denny’s at 10pm aren’t usually high to begin with, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Our server still had a nice attitude despite the shift she was on. Our food came quickly, and hit the spot. Right now they have cinnamon pancake puppies. Sugary breakfast items shouldn’t taste so good.
It seems they redid the design of Denny’s logo. To match this, the front register area was redone in a fun assymetrical colorful design. I like it!

All I can say is disgusting. I live around here and went at about 2 am once and will never go again. I ordered the chicken fried steak with cheese eggs and hash browns. My steak tasted like rubber and had the same texture as rubber. It was disgusting and was a really weird color. My eggs were good. My hash browns were extremely cold I didn’t even eat them. The server who was originally helping me left after giving us our check. Never said thank you. Never asked us if we needed anything else nothing. And when we walked out she was standing right outside the door smoking. I also did not like how they tried to tell me what I should tip. No thank you. Will not ever be back Idc how hungry I am or how late it is. Id rather get full off of water.

Okay, so this is a ²⁴⁄₇ diner. You might expect it to be messy, too old, and rugged. But it’s not. It does look like one of those southern diners, maybe a tad old, but the food is always good. I never visited Denny’s and had a bad meal. Seriously, never.
When I eat fish outside, it’s usually salmon because it’s my favourite and it’s a clean cut that’s not too fishy. However, I had the Senior Grilled Tilapia for dinner, it comes with garlic bread, and two sides. I had it with brown rice and mixed squash. All you need to do is a squeeze of that lemon slice that’s on the side of your plate and voilà, enjoy!
I recommend the Apple Crisp à la Mode for dessert. It is soooo good and it makes you feel like you’re eating it at your granny’s place in the suburbs. Just fill your spoon with some of that vanilla ice cream and some of the crust that’s mixed with baked apple and that cinnamon sauce and your stomach will thank you; and you, you can thank me later.

Horrible service. Not only did they take close to an hour to serve our food, he served 4 out of 5 of the people at our table. Brought the 5^th meal 15 minutes later. Half cooked, probably spat on food (because I complained about the wait) manager is unprofessional and makes me wonder how he got his job because he is not good at it and looked like he was high. I highly do not recommend.

Good enough, it’s Dennys. Wasn’t the cleanest, but wasn’t dirty, just grody. Had to send back my lemonade ’cause there was a thing in it… The food was pretty good, came out fast of course.

Food is usually on point, it’s just there is service is always & lack of energy from employees. But again at least with food they know what they are doing.

Standard Denny’s fare. Went once late at night and got the obligatory bacon, eggs and toast. Two teeny scrawny pieces of bacon but at least the eggs were cooked well.
Next visit I had the turkey dinner. Everything tasted great (for pre-​packaged food) but the service was horrible. I got my food and a glass of water and never saw the server again. I had to go up to the front to ask for my check once I was finished.
Everything as expected for a Denny’s. Huge selection, reasonably priced, nothing special.

I am more of an IHOP kind of guy, but came here because my sister and niece love Denny’s. The main thing that I liked about Denny’s, in comparison, is the wider menu selection they carried and the value meals. But, the value meals were definitely value meals. My meal was $ 4 for a regular size turkey sandwich and a small bowl of soup. It was good, but I definitely got the $ 4 worth. Also, the service was so slow. Yes, it could have been the back of the house, fine, but, another thing that kind of ticked me was that every time my water was refilled, it was only done because I had to ask for it. Anyway, I could’ve given this location a lower rating, but the food was good and the waitress was very nice.

Party of 4. Business at the time was slow to moderate. Ordered and received drinks. 15 minutes passed before the waiter returned to take our order. Receipt of food was slow and salad was served with entrée. Once food was served the waiter only came to our table when we called him over. Passed our table many times without even looking in our direction. One dessert was ordered, once again, after calling the waiter over. 20 minutes passed without receiving the ice cream and there was no communication from the waiter. We called him over and inquired about the dessert and he said, «it’s coming». 10 more minuted passed and we decided to leave. We were waiting at the checkout to get our check and the waiter was in the kitchen making the dessert. He came out with it and I told him we didn’t want it. He said it took 30 minutes because it was made wrong the 1^st time. No apology, just an excuse. No thanks, I don’t want it. We received the bill and asked for the dessert to be removed. Done. Handed the bill back with a 20% off entire order coupon that had an expiration date of 11÷7÷14. The manager, who was handling the payment, said the coupon was not good until next week. … We were not able to use the coupon. My overall experience during this visit was: Food 5/​5, Speed of Service: 0/​5, Customer Service: −5÷5, Overall Rating: ZERO.
UPDATE: I contacted Denny’s about my experience. I received a response from their corporate office saying my concerns would be forwarded to the appropriate people including the franchise owner. Apparently the franchise owner saw no need to further discuss my concerns as I have not been contacted. Customer service rating: −10÷5

I haven’t eaten at a Denny’s in ages, but not much has changed. This restaurant still offers your basic breakfast but nothing really to shout to the heavens about. I had a country fried steak that was a little over cooked and my sunny side eggs were just a little undercooked, but still passable.
My waitress, however, was very nice and took my order for a side of biscuits and gravy without complaint. When it arrived, it was massive, and she quickly followed up with a to go box.
The only other notable about the restaurant was some of the clientele. Conversations ranged from where should we take our next cruise to it’s too cold in here (yes, 78, is freezing). And of course, there a few discussion about feet that reminded me of breakfast with my own grandmother long ago. All in all, it could have been worse, and parts of the experience were quite nostalgic
