Denny’s

They call it America’s Diner, and like America, she’s seen better days. Somewhat dirty and dilapidated. Cheap food at a cheap price. Solid service, hit or miss food. Found a moth in my buffalo sauce once, so there’s that. Best for breakfast, but I enjoy a good bowl of soup or some of the other appetizers. Lunch and dinner entrees are generally pretty average. On our last visit we had some blackberry pancake puppies, those were excellent. I also tried the new Cali Club sandwich, and it wasn’t that great.

The food was hot and tasty, the table was clean, and the staff was professional. Not much more I could ask for.

Good hot food every time. Second time here and we had the same waitress who knew what our drink order was from the last time we were here… that is impressive!!!

Been here several times over past few years and all have been positive dining experiences. One of the better, friendlier Denny’s (not all are this way) we have been to. The Build Your Own Burger is my favorite. Good solid burger at a reasonable price. Fries are good. The Cheese Quesadilla is a simple yet tasty starter. Opened 24 Hours so great if your running late, especially since many other establishments in the area close early.

Not a great experience this time. There were a lot of flies buzzing around my friends and I while we ate. On top of that we asked for extra crispy bacon and it came out still floppy. I asked for sour cream twice and when I finally got it they brought me ranch dressing instead. The booth i sat in had salt or sugar all over the seat. The food was good otherwise, but I’d suggest avoiding this Denny’s if you have any other choice for breakfast. On the flip side, I do think it’s worth mentioning that the people working there were very friendly. So that and the food being okay are what saved this from a one star review.

Being a shameless Denny’s fan, I tend to give a lot of leeway when dining at their places. However, this Denny’s needs no leeway.
I’ve eaten here a few times while visiting my kid in college. The service was always excellent, and the food was fresh and well prepared. I tend to order the same things over and over when I go to Denny’s. But this Denny’s is slightly different in that the portions are always large, and the food is brought to the table hot.
The waitresses that we have had have always been very great. You never have to flag them down for a refill on your drinks. Can’t wait to visit again!

Once we sat down at table, kids ordered their food first bc hubby and I were unsure of what we wanted. The waitress took the order and told us to take our time. When she finally came back, we were ready to order… I wanted a turkey sandwich and hubby wanted nachos…2 items we wanted, they were out of. Really? You think she would have told you that once we sat down! Hubby needed up getting a Philly cheese steak which was to come with Swiss cheese. His order showed up with American cheese and once we asked, was told oh sorry we are out of Swiss. WHAT? What if he didn’t like American cheese? The waitress may have not known what she was doing, but at least the manager took care of our meals and we only ended up paying for kids meals. Food sucked too!

Solid diner experience. Good for the family and they now have the choice of 2 strengths of coffee…

Last two times that I have gone have been horrible. Waitresses barely stopped back at our table to check in on us. Probably because it took almost an hour for the food to come out. After waiting an hour you would think that the food was hot. Nope to our dismay it looked like our food was sitting around for hours. We won’t be going back to this Denny’s.

Nice Birthday Breakfast Feast!!! Great Friendly Staff!

My family and I vacation in Lake George and although we have discovered some gems, we have found it difficult to find restaurants that are similar to our NJ area in proximity, food quality, price and hours of operation. Many of the really good restaurants in the Lake George Region either have strange days of operation (closed mondays and tuesdays) or the hours are not what we are used to (who closes a restaurant before 9pm?).
Anyways we had gotten back from the Great Escape late, returned to our hotel and we starving. before we knew it, it was 9:20 pm. I panicked because we had not eaten anything of nutritional substance (unless you count the garbage offered at G. E because they ran out of healthy options but I will leave that for another review) all day. I called several places and to my surprise they were either closed or had stopped serving dinner. ahh!
I kind of wish I was back in NJ where I could access trusted diner cuisine at 1am if I so pleased. so we had to get creative and maybe a little ballsy. In my desperation I suggested Denny’s…my husband practically rolled on the floor laughing…
Yes, you read right Denny’s! Even I am shocked to write this review but I felt compelled as there are almost no reviews and I was impressed with the food/​price/​hours. We loved the fact that the menu had an array of fit and lean options for us healthy eaters and also for the not so healthy eaters.
My daughter had her favorite pancakes from the kids menu, along with a pleasant surprise a fruit and low fat yogurt smoothie for $ 1.99. No soda, or shirley temple or any other sugary option. the smoothie had fruit and yogurt no added sugar and it was really good!
Inspired by her, I ordered a mango smoothie which was $ 2.99 but larger and well worth it. awesome smoothie! I also had the fish tacos which were lightly fried but ingredients were simple with cabbage, avocado, tomato, and a bit of sauce. Husband had an avocado grilled chicken sandwich of whole wheat bread, he really liked it and at 520 calories. not too shabby my friends.
What really impressed us was that for our side we didn’t want the french fries, onion rings or anything else fried so we ordered a side salad. When it came, holy moly it was huge. This was no side salad with a few sad tomatoes and 1 onion sitting on top, I counted 6 cherry tomatoes, 4 onion slices, 4 cucumber slices, and croutons! They didn’t go stingy on the balsamic vinaigrette like restaurants usually do.
I also had the strawberry cream cheeses pancake hush puppies for my dessert for $ 1.99 (6 of them). They were awesome, of course not good for you so two was more than enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. They can easily be shared between three people.
Our bill came up to $ 31.38…There was no up-​charge for the side salad, which most restaurants will up-​charge you for healthier alternatives. This was the most affordable dinner we had eaten so far on vacation and we were really impressed.
So Denny’s in Queensbury I ate my words.

Being from the city, I always travel and expect things to be open late. Well, when in the Lake George area I have learned that many places close around 11pm. Other than Wal-​Mart, this Denny’s is one of the few places that is open late, ²⁴⁄₇ to be exact.
The staff is super friendly, as is everywhere in Queensbury. The menu is basic Denny’s food, but really, how can you go wrong? Pancakes, eggs, salads, chicken fingers. Never a dissappointment.
So when in the area and need some late night grub, come to this place.
