Denny’s

Worst ever
Made me wait like half hour for taking the order…
Nobody’s in here but taking a lot of time due to low staffing

Meh… Denny’s is like The Walmart of the diner world. Everything is cheap and during your visit you bump into a bunch of strange characters that leave you feeling better about yourself.
If you’re looking for food that’s a small step up from McDonalds’ and a place to park your rear, this is the place for you.

Thanksgiving day 2015 late night, I search far and wide for food in my drunken fervor… Only Dennys is open (open ²⁴⁄₇), I call and order a simple burger and fries for takeout, but I arrive really late for takeout and the burger got stale. So, this is what they do… they cook me another fresh one with those delicious delicious fries. Naturally, I fell in love with this joint :), keep up the great work and attitude, thank you!!!

My boyfriend and I got pumpkin and pecan pancakes with eggs, hash browns and sausage. It was so good! However, we were not so much fans of the nachos. If I had to guess… I would say they microwaved them. Our server was Amber. She is super sweet and was very prompt. 3 stars

Wanted French toast for dinner and used to frequent the one in Elkton before it closed. The Newark location is close, but hadn’t been to it in years. Upon entering, was greeted with a smile by Thersa. She was pleasantly upbeat and quick with drinks. I ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Pecan Pie Pancakes, (7.49). When cook/​manger, Shannon announced, «order up,» Thersa had it out promtly. From the time I walked in the door to my plate in front of me, it was only 14 minutes total. Great breakfast and excellent service. Loved tonight’s Dennys in Newark.

To start I hate being cold… this place was freezing it felt warmer outside then it did in the restaurant. But breakfast was really good but the service was slow i have never had breakfast take 30 minutes to make. Especially when its an omelet with cheese and turkey bacon. The turkey bacon didn’t taste like any turkey bacon I have ever had.

Tonight was the best food I ever had at this place. The waitress Heaven, thank you, I never had service so good at this location. Keep up the good work! If this crew is the same every Tuesday I’ll see you more.

We ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was gross. Granted it was the morning shift so people were slow but the coffee was nice. The bowls of fruit were also nice. The people in Denny’s are not my favorite people but I guess I also came to Denny’s so I guess I’m not my own favorite person? INCEPTION

I know what to expect from Denny’s and I didn’t even get that. I got the classic french toast grand slam. It took almost an hour and the mini slices of bacon and tiny sausage links had taken as much punishment as the heat lamps could dish out. Eve the eggs were tiny and overcooked. The French Toast was decent. The service was just fine. The guy who waited on us got the stars all on his own.

Horrible service and food. First and only time I will be here. Our waitress was horrible and rude. Would tell everyone not to go there ever

My friends and I have frequented this establishment since high school. It was a place we could visit late, grab a bite, have some coffee and sit and chat. My last visit was absolutely terrible. Since my friend and I stayed longer than a meal and enjoyed coffee and conversation, we were not given great service. On our leaving, the lady who rang us up and will remain nameless had nothing but rude comments for us on the way out. I don’t think I’ll visit again and maybe the server will be happy to hear it, but losing customers can’t be good for your bottom line. As someone who also works within the service industry, I’d be very upset to know I left someone with such a bad experience.

Right now it’s 2:18 am. I enjoying the steak at this Restaurent with my nephew. Our server was Ms. Dee with a perfect pleasant attitude. I’m so happy for her service. The steak was perfect too aas we wanted. Just keep it up guys. Thanks.

I used to go this denny’s almost every day. on the late shift.
When it was a corp owned store, it was ok.
Now that it is franchise owned by an out of state owner, it’s lousy.
Too much staff turnover and fighting amoung themselves, running out of food generally poor service. Prices keep going up and items I liked are no longer on the menu.
I now go only because a few of the servres I like still are there.
Bob Evans, about ½ mile away is much better

Driving up from Miami to New York and stopped to eat breakfast at this Denny’s. Friendliest Denny’s I’ve been to thanks to Sharee. Thank you! Food hit the spot too! Must try the Pumpkin Pancakes.

Poor service, chef just didn’t care, no staff knew menu, nothing good to say.

I live less than a mile from this Denny’s and haven’t been in years. I was craving some diner food and decided to give them another shot. It was horrible. My friend and I arrived at 4pm. The hostess took us to a table and realized it hadn’t been wiped down. We waited for her to do so. We quickly looked at the menu, inquired about the breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 toast, 2 bacon, 2 sausage… the waitress said they didn’t have anything like that. Upon closer review of the menu, they do… it’s the Grand Slam. How does a Denny’s waitress not know about the Grand Slam breakfast???
We ordered and our food took forever to arrive. My sandwich arrived without fries. I was told fries would be another 5 minutes or I could have hash browns. I reluctantly took the hash browns as we were in a hurry. My sandwich was burnt in some parts.
We paid the waitress while we ate and then never saw her again.
Horrible experience all around from the service to the food. I would only go back in the wee hours of the morning when nothing else is open!

This is a good solid Dennys. The staff retention is high. Within 3 or 4 visits they began treating us as regulars and sometimes throw in little perks free of charge.
But realize that its about 500 yards from i95. So it does get busy. Dont walk in at 10am on a weekend and expect perfect service. It will be slammed and crowded.
Also, the post bar closing scene was scary. We wanderd in after a concert up in philly and got a lot of bad vibes from the ghetto drunks who acted like we invaded their private clubhouse… sorry just reporting what happened.

In high school and college, I used to frequent the Dennys in my hometown (Cali), but since I’ve moved to DE, I’ve only been to this location twice, once being this morning.
Our waitress seemed completely clueless as to how to wait tables. We sat down and there were three of us in our party, yet she only gave us two napkins and two sets of silverware. We asked for hot sauce, and she brought us a bottle of empty hot sauce. Dropped our plates off and we didn’t see her the rest of the meal until it was time for her to drop the check off. She didn’t even give us a second to ask for a refill, she simply said, «you folks have a nice day!» and walked off quickly.
I will say however, when we went to pay, and the manager asked «how was everything?» I asked her did she want the truth, or sunshine and rainbows? She said, «well the truth, of course!» and I told her. She seemed very open to the feedback and thanked me for it.

Well Denny’s is a pretty standard ²⁴⁄₇ diner. There is not much to be said about it, nor is there much to be impressed by. I am writing this review because of my experience here. I was with 5 other friends on a day trip from Philly to DC and we passed through this city in Delaware on the way. We needed gas, we wanted to dessert and the only thing in sight next to the gas station was this small Denny’s. We decided to stop by since we were tired of being cooped up in the car.
The place was pretty clean, just like any other Denny’s. My friend was trying to decide between a milkshake and an apple pie crumble, and I figured that we might as well ask if they could combine the two for us. Most restaurants would just shut out the idea of combining a pie and milkshake (I got the idea from Portillo’s cake shake in Chicago) but the waitress thought it was an interesting idea and was 100% percent on board. It was really nice of her to do it and although it didn’t turn out good, I was pleased by the fact that she tried. Good service, might as well stop by for a pit-​stop if you need to.

The two young men sit in the Dennys, well after midnight. They talk wildly and scribble in their notepads. They are writing a script for a movie, which will blow everyones minds. Food and coffee get cold, victims of inspiration. The waitress doesnt even bother to see if they need anything anymore. They would go their separate ways, both on this night and in life.
One, has a wife and young child to go home to. He has responsibilities that render the screenwriter dreams void. The other will follow his dream, take a few small rolls in movies and TV, work behind the scenes of a few productions and finally work making documentaries.
Nothing ever became of the script…, although the family man wouldnt be surprised to see it (or the many others) pop up in some form someday. It was this memory that pleasantly crossed my mind as I sat in a Dennys recently. The family man being a few shades greyer and a few pounds heavier than he was back then.
I rarely go to Dennys. Its not a conscious decision, I just feel there are always better options. I had worked 8hrs straight through without a lunch, and I was starved and didnt feel like fast food. Not that Dennys is better than fast food, its just that I wanted to sit down and be waited on.
It wasnt crowded so I was sat immediately and was able to order and get my food quickly, which was what Id hoped. The food was decent. I got a bowl of soup, rolls and meatloaf dinner for under $ 10. I felt it was a great deal. The chicken soup was just as good as ive had at Panera. The rolls were odd. Between the consistency and the sweet butter, they were closer to cinnamon buns (without the cinnamon). If you cant tell if i liked this or not, I couldnt either. I know my kids would have liked them. The meatloaf wasnt bad. It had to be the hardest, densest meatloaf ive ever had but it was tasty.
Just a note about bands selling out. Was it really a good PR move, for bands like Plain White Tees and Hoobastank to have meals at Dennys named after them? Im sure all the elderly coulpes there for their senior menus really gave a crap about the «Plain White Milkshake»
But I digress. Basically, I got exactly what I came in for. A quick meal that stuck to the ribs. I also got to relive a good memory. Ill have to get in touch with my friend, the one who left to follow his dream. The one I lived vicariously through. Ive got some good new movie ideas and he just may be in the position now to get them green-​lit.
