Denny’s

We have gone to this Denny’s for years and last night was the last time we will go back. When we arrived there were only two tables occupied and they were almost done eating. The place was filthy. ½ the restaurant was blocked off and the ½ that was open had not been swept or vacuumed in hours at the very least. Trash and food all over floor. We waited 20 minutes for our order to be taken and then waited 40 minutes for our food. As other people came in, they were all seated up by us. There were plenty of tables available but they just piled everyone in the middle together and we were all sitting at one table essentially. The food arrived and it was terrible. My daughter and I got chicken tenders and they were only partially cooked. My husband’s french toast was burned and my other daughter never did get salad dressing for her salad. All this for the family friendly price of $ 53. For 4 people. We could have gone to Cracker Barrel across the street or even Logan’s and gotten steak for what we paid at Denny’s for nasty food. Something has happened to this Denny’s and it is not good. It used to be packed all the time and the staff was awesome. Now, they act like you are a bother and the food is bottom of the bucket.

I really like the food here (blueberry pancakes are my fave) but the restaurant never seems clean enough.

So to start we waited to be seated and the manager decided to just sit at a booth On his laptop and let us stand at the door. The. We seated our selves at the counter. Waited for the server to arrive and a tree stump had more personality I was not even done with my order and she walked away and when I tried to tell her I was not done she just kept going.
Has taken forever to get our food this place does not even look clean

On the way back from a business trip to Huntsville, I got stuck in a snowstorm — really! A transfer truck had jack-​knifed across the interstate and both sides of the highway were blocked solid. After 3 hours, the roads finally starting moving and I opted to get off and grab gas and dinner. I wish I had just gotten a bag of chips at the gas station.
The place seemed OK. It was relatively clean and well lit. Hunger usually makes everything taste better, and my options in Cullman were kind of limited. After looking over their menu — they had just gotten rid of their Hobbit menu, which made me sad, as I was looking forward to trying some fried Hobbit — I opted for the Fish and Chips.
I guess I should have known better when I asked my waitress if they have Malt Vinegar and she responded with «Say What?» My colleague’s food arrived quickly — mine took much longer. When it finally arrived, it looked like they had forgotten to take any of it out of the fryer, as it was all a dark dark brown. But the part that made it so special was the long black hair sticking out of the middle of my fish!
I am fairly sure that cod do not have long black hairs, but checked with my waitress anyway. She was properly apologetic and took it back. 15 minutes later, they handed me another plate — equally well done, but with no hair.
While accidents do happen, there are some protocols that are standard. No manager came over. No meal was comped, etc.
I doubt I will ever be back in Cullman, but if I am, I will definitely not be eating at Denny’s.

It’s good for Denny’s, they have good service and FREE wifi

I have to drop my rating as the past two times I have been have been less pleasing as the first
2 out of 3 times in a month’s time has been just ok or less. Those 2 times were both for lunch and the one great time was for dinner. I’m not sure if that’s due to a difference in cooks between night shift and day shift. I’ve been a little disappointed.
Also, for a place that is known for breakfast… they sure don’t know how to cook eggs. Both times I’ve gotten eggs they were scorched. Both times I’ve asked for scrambled, once I got a scorched omelet and the second time I got a scorched cut up omelet.
Sigh.

By Denny’s standards, food is good and service is friendly. I have eaten here several times over the years, and the food is consistent. If you like Denny’s (at least for the breakfast menu), then this one is up to the Denny’s standard.
