Denny’s

We just came back from eating breakfast/​lunch at Denny’s. We’ve eaten both at the Shields & Blackstone location and the Herndon one. We have always had positive experiences at both. They are energetic, smile when they greet us, and a few of the servers and hostesses know us by name!
Today was especially good. My goodness, the speed was fast and the food was delicious. We got a few extra items at no cost, and our girl Megan was on point!
Bonus advice: Get the Rewards it’s worth it!

5 stars for the waitress Crystal, she’s so sweet and really good at her job!
The experiences at this Denny’s have been consistently good, but the last time we went, it was awful. Our waitress (don’t remember her name) disappeared completely, we waited for our food for around 45 mins (and they were simple breakfast items, and a manager was nowhere to be found. Finally, Crystal comes to our table and says that she’s noticed that we have been waiting for our food for a long time. She brings out the food that the other absent waitress failed to bring to us and apologizes, she was so nice and we weren’t even her table!
To make matters worse, one of the omelette’s had a long strand of hair on it.
So yeah, 1 star for that experience. But 5 stars for every other experience we have had while coming here and 5 stars for Crystal, she deserves a raise !!!

It was fairly busy very early morning Thursday. Denny’s is nice for late-​nights and my friend and I were traveling to the area to visit our respective families. I usually order breakfast and had one of their holiday skillets. It was tasty, but heavy, and it was good. Our server was accommodating and was nice. Restroom was a mess though.

Terrible denny’s. When we left the place, I was already developing a stomach ache. I hope I don’t have food poisoning. My husband has been up all night. We are pretty sure the waiter gave us real coffee also instead of decaf. The place was hopping, only because we had to travel during thanksgiving. The food tasted like horrible denny’s food. Be careful when you come here, you are taking the next 24 plus hours in your hands.

Had a nice lunch Sunday Oct 11^th, 1:15pm. Seated quickly– a booth was available right next to the door and they asked if we wanted it or if we wanted to consider sitting elsewhere (thought something was readily available, but would check…) We decided since the sunday lunch rush was winding down, a booth right next to the door was OK, and it was. Had their Avocado Chicken Caesar Salad and my husband had Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I have several diet restrictions and usually get the Cranberry Apple Chicken Salad but I am a bit burnt out on that, even tho its really delicious. So when I ordered the Avocado Chicken dish I asked if they would withhold the shredded cheese and withhold the dressing AND would they please substitute the usual Caesar dressing for a vinagarette? Yes, did both!!! I really enjoyed it. They did not skimp on the Avocado. They put the vinagarette dressing in a small separate bowl. My husband liked the Broccoli Cheddar soup but thought it was a tad bit too salty. We also enjoyed a Carmel Apple Crisp for dessert. Again, with my non-​dairy diet restrictions, our server separated the ice cream from the apple and crumbles! Thank you for a really enjoyable meal. Bonus points for your extra attention.

Great food and service. Ask for Crystal! She was a great waitress. Our food took a while to get to us but it was lunch hour and busy, so it was understandable. Will be returning!

I have eaten at Denny’s many times, but this is my first time at this location on Blackstone and Shields.
My party and I arrived around brunch, and saw that the restaurant was packed. Since we only had an hour to spare we were hesitant to stay, but we decided for it. We were greeted and hastily seated within minutes. An employee named Crystal came to our table and asked if we had ordered drinks or had anyone help us yet; I replied no. So she took our drink orders, gave us menus, and came right back with our drinks. Then our server came and we ordered. Our food came so fast.
I ordered the American Grand Slam and a Dr Pepper. My eggs had just the right amount of cheese on top and were not runny, my bacon was crisp, hash browns were crunchy (which is how I like them), toast with plenty of butter, and my soda pop was refilled in a timely manner. The only thing I did not like were the sausage; they tasted soft and bland.
Overall, the visit was excellent, friendly and efficient service, and we were out of there within an hour. Not bad at all for a busy Denny’s!

Leathery pancakes, burnt eggs, undercooked bacon, slow service, and undrinkable coffee… and all for just $ 30! What more could you ask for?!

If you like slow, rude service and overpriced food that tastes like it was left way too long in the microwave, then this is the place for you! We have actually visited this location twice. The first time was pretty lousy but we decided to give it another chance. This time was even worse. The server seemed genuinely embarrassed when she brought our «food», then she disappeared and we had to wait 45 minutes for our check. Initially, we decided NOT to write this bad review, and contacted Denny’s instead. We gave detailed description of our laughably horrible experience and figured they’d at least write back and apologize. Instead, they ignored us. So, yeah. Literally the only decent thing from my meal was the toast. I wish we’d just gone to the equally shady-​looking McDonald’s across the street.

Terrible all the way around. 4 people dining, 1 manager, 1 cook, 2 waiters, 1 busboy… HOW DO YOU SCREW UP BREAKFAST from seating, to cooking, to service @ 1am @ a ²⁴⁄₇ diner? Maybe instead of all the joking and singing these EMPLOYEES would actually do their jobs correctly.

I don’t know what is it about Denny’s joints, but I always feel like service is VERY slow. They take a long time to come take our orders. They don’t refill out water. They bring out the food slowly. It’s quite disappointing, really.
As for the food, there isn’t anything that stands out. I ordered a chicken bacon sandwich and it was so salty and not very tasty. My friends and I dropped by this location just to get some food in our stomachs as we were making our way to Las Vegas that morning.
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t enjoy Denny’s overall.

A little disappointed this time. When we (my family) go eat there its always a good experience. Good service, good food. However we ordered to go and our food sucked! I understand that to go is a lot different than eating at the restaurant but still, the food should at least be (at least almost) like how it would be coming out fresh on the plate. Anyways it wasn’t good. Ruined my pancake puppies (burnt), my sons burger bun had finger pressed marks on it like someone was poking at it, and soggy toast & fries. We got there to pick it up in time but the lady took so long to give it to us so that’s why everything was soggy (understandable) but the rest? No. Paid 38 bucks for ruined food.

I didn’t like this place one bit for the lack of service but the only nice person here was the older lady manager, she was the sweetest person I’ve meet at Dennys but the servers lack service and only pays attention to large groups of people then the regular customers and that is not a good thing to do when we ar we paying about the same amount like the rest of them, they didn’t even take our order under the older lady came by and saw us with no drinks and got them for us, a manager shouldn’t provide service when she has a team willing to do it for her. 1 hr and 30 min for the food to be made (time must stop in that kitchen for it to cook slow). 3 times stopped by to see if we are doing fine and didn’t give me the check until we walk to the register to ask for it. this place is the worst and it’s not worth the $ 58.11 that I payed for, for the lack of service. if I want the lack of service I would of went to Walmart.

So after a night out binge drinking this is the place most people go to for sobering up. Our waiter was the bomb so we gave her a 25.00 tip for the good service and it being the holidays.

Seated and served drinks within minutes, not long after they took our order and served a decent meal.

I have to say Dennys is a family favorite. We were there just recently and it’s always a pleasant experience. The staff is very friendly and we didn’t have to wait for our drinks to keep being refilled, And it’s not very expensive.

This is the WORST Denny’s. I took my boyfriend and his friends out for food one night. Our waiter’s name was Manuel and there aren’t enough curse words to describe him. We have a four person table. Dude straight up forgot to put the order in for my food, gets out to the table and then looks at me like, «oh, what’s missing?» Dude! Don’t look at me like WTF when you’re the one NOT holding my pancakes! Then he just walked away from the table and never came back. He could stand behind the counter and look at his phone, but he couldn’t come back and say, «hey, accidentally forgot your food, sorry!» When he finally came back he had the worst attitude! Like it was my fault HE forgot. Then he transferred the table when we complained.

Typical Denny’s fare here. Average food for a fair price. Good to fill the belly cheaply! That’s about all I can say about this location…

The waitress was very friendly and understanding. The restraurant was quite busy so we didn’t get the most prompt attention but what can you do when you are totally swamped. Food came out fairly swiftly but the portions compared to the picture on the menu were dissapointingly small. The taste was good but I was left still feeling like a I could eat more. I think if I do come back again I will choose something else to eat and hopefully get more for my buck without having to give more buck.

um, I went here last night and a lady that worked there (not my actual waiter) came up to me and had the audacity to tell me that my underwear were showing underneath the damn table??? Like she literally had to be searching for my underwear to even see what color they were. I still do not understand why she thought it was a good idea to tell me that when there was NO ONE REMOTELY AROUND ME THAT COULD HAD SEEN ANYTHING AT ALL AND I JUST WANTED TO EAT MY FOOD WITH MY LEGS CROSS CROSSED IN A DRESS. I am also still freaked out by the fact that my friend asked to speak to her after our food regarding her comment and her argument was «But I said it with a smile!»
yeah no. F this place. That lady needs to shut her mouth.
