Denny’s

This Denny’s is 2 minutes from my house, it was 9:30pm and I wanted breakfast.
I had been there once before so I knew what to expect.
There are two sections in the restaurant and it seems like there are only two servers for each section. The section we were at had about 6 tables taken and only one guy working. This guy seemed to be the host, server and check out person.
We waited way too long for everything because he was so busy.
The food, it’s standard and it filled me up. I got eggs, hash browns, pancakes and ham. My eggs were perfectly cooked, over easy, my hash browns were cold, my ham was dry and tough and my pancakes were good.
It’s convenient for a late night meal and the food is decent. As long as you know what to expect, you are good.

Slow service, rude staff, just a bad time. I don’t expect much from Denny’s but this was just bad…

What can I say, it’s Denny’s
I’ve been comming here since my teenage rebellious days.
Overall, usually my experience is «ok».
But today it pretty more than good.
Our server Kevin S. was very attentive always asked us how everything was, or if he could get us anything more. He never let our drinks go empty. Friendly and curteous. I wished there were more servers like him.
When I come back I will have to request him as my server again.

Didn’t eat here, but I have eaten here in the past, I called to ask if they served gluten-​free pancakes and the person who answered was super nice. The only restaurant Glendale Heights, IL that actually cared, can’t find that any more. Unfortunately, they did not serve gluten-​free pancakes but mentioned their gluten free muffins. Super nice, don’t see that anymore, 4 stars from me!

Food csme out fresh and was grear. Alex was our waiter and he was awesome! Very friendly and attentive.

While I usually enjoy Denny’s breakfast this is the first time at this location. Disappointing to say the least.
Since I am in the food service industry I tend not to complain and see just how they treat the customer. Party of one placed at the table next to the kitchen door. Others would find this insulting as this was a truly terrible table. Although the kitchen manager was quick and efficient I heard every order! The initial greeting by the server was 8 minutes from seating. Substandard. The coffee cup remained empty without an offer to refill until it was time to leave. The food meets health department standards for being thoroughly cooked; barely. Scrambled eggs shouldn’t be runny and hash browns should be more than room temperature in the middle. The bacon was almost done but not crispy. The sausage links were the star of the meal but it’s difficult to make bad pre cooked links. An extra 20 seconds on the grill isn’t worth a bad customer experience.
The table and menus weren’t cleaned properly. Coffee stains on the opposite side of the table shows they didn’t wipe between settings. The menu on the table was sticky. Water and wipes aren’t that scarce. Use them folks.
Overall I’d give this experience one star.

We’ve been to this location many times, and we have never had issues. The servers tend to be friendly and attentive when it’s not too busy. Of course, when it is busy, the service might not be so fantastic, but you get what you pay for. Meals are pretty cheap and taste pretty good.

If you’re black or Hispanic avoid this place. After your meal don’t be surprised if you are pulled over and harassed by dupage country sheriff’s.

Dude, what can you say about Denny’s? It is what it is… I am so thankful that they were open (as they always are) for a super late night meal with my love!
Moons over my Hammy and pancakes hit the spot!

We finally had breakfast at this Denny’s. We still have nothing to say but good food and good service by nice people. Great price too, with the generous discounts and coupons available if you look. My husband loves the Grand Slam and it was perfectly cooked. I’m not big on breakfast, but tried the biscuits and gravy with hash browns and it was good. The atmosphere was laid back and quiet and it seemed obvious that there were a lot of regulars that seemed happy to be there. I’m glad this Denny’s is around to fill the spot for reasonably priced, tasty food.

Low quality food that tastes like it’s from a box, can, or package. Why go to Denny’s when Red Apple is a block away? Total garbage food at price that shows its junk. Enjoy eating bland food.

Me and some friends went here and our server Ally was the best server ever. There was a table of people cussing at her about the color of her hair and how horrible she is because she informed them that they didn’t have grits and she kept her calm and was super polite. Poor girl. You go Ally. You were the best server ever. Don’t worry about them (: I will defiantly be back. Such good service.

Denny’s gets a bad rap for bringing in the low class, scum of the earth and goth teens brooding past the midnight hour. They really are a family friendly diner, no different from the other pancake house down the street.
It still isn’t my favorite place to go, but with several girlfriends on a budget lately, I went along with the idea when a friend suggested it. My friend praised their «$ 2,4,6,8» menu, but if you stray from that menu, Denny’s isn’t any cheaper than another pancake house or fast-​casual eatery. I peeked at my friend’s check — she would have spent less at several area restaurants.
The food is always good at Denny’s, you always know what you’re going to get. I’ve eaten many Super Bird sandwiches here, milkshakes, chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks, and drank a lot of coffee. Aside from the somewhat spotty service, I never really had any complaints.
Two of my friends raved about Denny’s ranch dressing. I was determined to scoff at this, but then I tried the ranch. Yeah, it’s really good.
Denny’s is comfortable and predictable, but sometimes that’s okay!

Not a fan. The food was cold and terrible even by Denny’s standards, our orders arrived incomplete, and 25 minutes apart. Waitstaff couldn’t care less, and offered no resolution on missing items.
We could only stomach 10% of the food and gave up. Asked the waitstaff to take the food away. Got the check, and the manager was mad that we told the waitress to take a full plate of food away. Told us to pay the bill in full and get out (we never asked for a discount, btdub).
Not great people.

I can’t quite decide how to rate Denny’s. Because it’s a pretty trashy place, right? But I went in to my Denny’s experience not expecting high class, got just what I expected plus some surprisingly good food, and left happy.
With all the other restaurants that are available at a similar price point, I wouldn’t normally dine here. But my sister and I were lured in by an ad campaign that toted, «the only big thing about a Hobbit is its breakfast,» or some such silliness. Hobbit breakfast? Sold. Even though we ended up getting burgers.
The restroom is pretty much the worst, and this is the only eatery I can think of where a lady would stand up from a nearby table and loudly and unapologetically pass gas. The booths have kind of a funky smell.
All that aside, my sister and I each had a delicious build-​your-​own burger. They were super good! Actually one of the better burgers I’ve had lately. I paid a 49 cent up charge for seasoned fries, and it was worth it. Yum. Good shakes and coffee, too. Yes, we ate a lot.
Our waitress (Melanie, I think?) was friendly and attentive even though we stayed at our table for ages. It’s all kind of endearing, really.

Average food. Average restaurant. I like their burgers.
Denny’s has always delivered a solid product. I went here a good amount in high school, but now, I would much rather spend my time at a non-​franchise. Don’t get me wrong, they cater to everyone from gluttons even to the health conscious.
I have memories of going here when I was very, very young. There used to be a smoking section that I loathed. With the ban in Illinois (one of the few things the state has done), it’s not smoke free.
I’d rather go to Red Apple right down the road. If Red Apple closes (good Lord I would die), maybe I’ll go again.

I have been coming here on and off for years now. The food is OK, not bad but its Denny’s so it’s not exactly great food. The bacon menu is just crazy to me and I could never order anything from that. The one thing about this Denny’s I like a lot is that the staff has always been friendly and always takes care of me. It’s all around a decent place!

I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this place. I went here so much during high school. Among some items I’ve had: Bacon cheese fries, burgers (always greasy and good), milkshakes, chicken fingers, and of course Grand Slam items!
I love Denny’s, but with options like Red Apple, Egglectic Café, and even Carol’s Garden nearby, I wouldn’t stop here unless there was a special occasion!

On a cold Saturday morning, I woke up early. So early that most places that serve breakfast were not yet open. After carefully considering possibilities that were open I said «why not try Denny’s?» and soon was on my way there to have some breakfast.
It had been at least 10 years since the last time I had set foot in a Denny’s. When last I visited a Denny’s (quite possibly in the late 90s) it was practically Transylvania inside with more goth dressed people than a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show. But, since indoor smoking in public places has been banned in Illinois, it’s as though garlic and crosses have been hung everywhere and is wannabe-​vampire free.
As I entered the Denny’s I noticed a large skill crane, and soon was seated and given a menu. After looking over options I decided to go for a «Bacon Chipotle Chicken Skillet». No at every other breakfast place I’ve visited, a skillet is served on a skillet, but includes eggs and some type of potato. The bacon chipotle skillet at Dennys is not the same type of dish. This was like a bacon chicken sandwich was removed from its bun, covered in cheese and put on the skillet. For a side I chose hash browns, so in that sense it was somewhat similar to a traditional breakfast skillet. While both the chicken and the hash browns tasted fine. For the money most other places would have given me a skillet with eggs. I wouldn’t say the food was bad, simply too expensive for what I received.
Service at Denny’s was a bit slow as the waitress was also vacuuming and doing other chores around the restaurant. Overall, my experience at Denny’s wasn’t terrible, but for the money, I’d rather go elsewhere. I can see why it’s been at least ten years since I last visited a Denny’s, and it may be another decade before I go again. Two stars, not bad food, but a bad value.

Time changed, quality changed
Denny’s used to be my family favorite restaurant, until the recession hit in 2008 when they forced to change the way they do business. We went there on Saturday morning for breakfast. There is not much favor in the foods. My wife did not like her dish. My breakfast was ok but the pancake was kind of bad. A bit pricey if you compare with quality of foods and services we received. Foods came out slow and the waiter was not around much to serve our needs.
Over all it’s A-​ok. What are you expected?
