After two terrible visits, I guess I need to stop coming in for brunch. Visit #1 - I ordered the BBQ chicken skillet and they only gave me one small chicken breast. It supposed to be two regular size. They tried to disguise the plate and make it full by putting more mashed potatoes and corn. (See photo) Visit #2 - I ordered the build your own skillet. I chose prime rib for the meat with hash browns, spinach, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. They only gave me three little pieces of prime rib. They tried to disguise the plate this time by putting more diced potatoes. That is probably the reason why they put diced potatoes instead of the hash browns I ordered. The ratio of potatoes vs prime rib was 6:1. (See photo) They did bring me more meat after informing them. Just wasn't sure if the cook added special ingredients to them if you know what I mean? Service was a little slow. Both visits, we had the same server. I like Dennys and I will still come back. It's close to my house too. I just need to stop ordering their skillets and avoid coming in for brunch. It gets two stars because one other visit was for a cup of coffee at 2 AM and the service was not bad.

After waiting for 30 minutes to get our order in when there are only 4 tables of customers is ridiculous. Terrible service. A lot of noise from the kitchen and not enough service on the floor. Oh and the order was wrong.

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting; there was no soap in the dispenser in either one, and they looked like they hadn't been cleaned in days.. The server was rude and slow. The food took 45 minutes to come out of the kitchen. When my friend enquired about her milkshake glass being half full, the server got an attitude and lied about the glassware. The only good thing about the experience was the food....except for the pancakes.

Unfortunately this is not about the food. We came in on a Sunday and admittedly, everyone knows that a Sunday is always busy. While waiting to be seated we overheard the manager say that they were understaffed so we were prepared to have things take a bit longer. After watching 2 other tables get seated after us, receive their beverages and get their orders taken, the waiter finally came over to get our drink order. I would think that at some point, customer service dictates at least an acknowledgement of our presence. When the waiter finally came over, he asked our order. When I went to open the menu to remember what the item was called, he said "nevermind, I'll be back" Serouously? Then after taking 2 more tables orders, brining out napkins for another table, refilling drinks for another he finally came back. But not before giving attitude because we were a little upset. Poor managment. Poor training. Poor customer service.

After a long night of drinking at the beach for my birthday, I was hungry. We tried to go to the Waffle House right off the Beach but it was so busy that I just couldn't stand (because I was drunk, duh) to wait... so over the bridge we went to Denny's. When you've got drunk munchies everything takes forever, luckily I had my boyfriend and two awesome friends with me so it made time fly. Seating at 2:30AM was decent, and we didn't wait very long for a booth. The cashier was super sweet and sat us somewhere in the back. Maybe we were too loud. Hah. Our server was a very friendly man, even for 2AM, and served us coffee and soda and was patient when our drunk selves couldn't figure out what to eat. Our food came out in a decent amount of time, and it was cooked to perfection. We had two All-American Slams and 2 meat-lovers omelettes with hash browns and all. We didn't wait too long for it, but just enough to know that our food was freshly made. I can say overall, the experience was great and considering we were loud and laughing and completely goofing off probably being distracting to a lot of other drunk patrons, we didn't get any complaints. Then we got a few cupcake cups for the kids and no one said anything. ;) So, if you're hungry after a night of binge drinking and can SAFELY make it over the bridge to this Denny's for some yummy and fresh food to help you sober up, this is it. Drink Responsibly. Eat Hearty.

Went with my family on a Sunday. Great place to bring kids. (Kids eat free on weeknights too). Had a patty melt (not on menu). Was great! Also ordered a shake. It was great. They bring out the tin. Had enough in it for 2 more shakes. Our server was attentive and friendly. Price was good. Fed family of 4 with desserts and tip for 45 bucks.

So I've been feeling like crap for about 2 days (ever see The Exorcist?) and I expected to feel bad for another 3 days ...like I do every month...I'll let that sink in. I of course wanted breakfast at 10pm. And I wanted to eat it at the beach, so I can get my full "I feel like a beached whale" vibe right. I hit up this location. After being welcomed in by my server, My mood slowly started to switch. She was just so perky. I decided to dine in. My server was Lindsey, an adorable smiling faced blonde that seemed to appear and disappear at our table like magic. The menu is the same everywhere. But I love they are always adding new stuff (for a limited time). She recommended us trying something from the "Tour of America" menu. So I grabbed the wheat banana and pecan pancake breakfast and a Florida Orange milk shake. While my sister grabbed the Georgia Peach French Toast breakfast and Sweet Tea. The food was great and of course we were eating off each others plates. After awhile me and my sister were doing a stare off to see who would finish the last of the food on our plates. All 6'0 160lbs of her finished her plate, then took the last of my turkey bacon and then ordered another glass of ice tea. (Yeah I'm a little bitter). But it gave me plenty of time to sit back and enjoy my surrounds. It's Denny's! How can you ever go wrong?

A TV commercial showed the Hawaiian Macadamia Nut pancake. Having recently visited the islands, I missed the food and wanted to go see if this even compared. It didn't. BUT it was a good attempt. Syrup not needed, the whip gives it the flavor. Service was fast and friendly. Thanks, Teka!

It's Denny's. It's like the Wal-Mart of diners. It's not terribly fancy, or terribly expensive. They serve food. It's adequate. Enjoy.

I'm a big fan of Denny's breakfast menu, so when this newest location was built close to my apartment, I was very happy. This is simply one of the best places to sit down and get whatever you're in the mood for for breakfast, any time of the day. Today, I happened to get Hilda for my waitress. She was really good, and had a pleasant personality. I could also tell from her conversations with other patrons that she was well liked among regulars. If you have an issue with mediocre service, then I recommend asking to be seated in her section when she's working.

The service was pretty quick on a Sunday and our server was very attentive. The food was hot and the server made us aware of the upgrades we could get to make the food more awesome.

#Denny's : Needed a quick bite after a long day moving and they were close by and still serving a full menu. Attention! They now have an awesome burger meal, that allows your choice of meat(or veggie patty) ,breads, toppings, sides and condiements for $6.99 , an absolutely amazing offer. My son ate for free with my order, which is a big bonus, and the service was friendly. All and all a good stop.
