Customer Reviews
I hate to give such a low rating but this location needs some work (mostly referring to teamwork). The server I had was super nice but I could tell he was super stressed out and it seemed like no one was willing to help him out. He was both the waiter, host, and mentioned he also was one of the cooks. Thankfully, it wasn’t completely packed (there were quite a few tables though). I’m not sure if he was a manager but he seemed to be the only person taking initiative but also had a lot on his plate where he was forgetting some things (which is understandable). I will say that if you are talking in the kitchen, customers can hear what you are saying (they were talking about some guy who sat himself). Overall, the food was good but it wasn’t worth over the $30 I paid. I am hoping it was just
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this Denny’s tested my patience, my nose, and my faith in customer service. There is exactly one good employee here, and he deserve a medal, a raise, and a transfer far away from this place. Thank you Stephen(spelling?)! Everyone else? Too busy gossiping, complaining about their jobs within earshot of customers, or radiating an odor that absolutely should not be part of the dining experience. Service was painfully slow, not because it was busy, but because the staff seemed more interested in talking about each other than doing their jobs. The vibe was negative, unprofessional, and honestly uncomfortable—like you walked into a break room you weren’t supposed to see. The atmosphere is toxic, lazy, and uncomfortable, like customers are intruding on a high
My experience Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. was like a breath of fresh air. My friend and I were greeted by the waiter named Chewy who was very friendly and accommodating which really made us feel welcomed. As I looked around the place was immaculately clean and bright which impressive!. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming and the food was phenomenal. We ordered nachos and I'm here to tell you those were the best nachos I think I've ever tasted. To my understanding, they were homemade and deep fried which made them even more special and delicious! The price was unbelievably affordable and I think they deserve the support of the community because we need to keep them in this area. The chef even came out and greeted us, he did an extraordinary job as well. I will be going
Steak & eggs, ordered medium rare. Received it well done. Server was very apologetic and offered to have the chef try again. Do you wait for a 2nd one while everyone else eats and risk getting it over cooked again, we decided against it. Bill was $53 for 2 people, no alcohol. But I'm sure other meals were perfectly cooked just not the expensive plate. Unfortunate experience. I shared the lumberjack breakfast so my partner survived
Food terrible, visited for breakfast and lunch on two separate occasions, never again. Hash browns not fully cooked, coffee is lukewarm, orange juice tasted watered down. Visited again for dinner to try again and burger tasted ok, milkshake tasted sour. My friends waffle was absolutely tiny. Bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Ended up waiting til I got home. Yuck 🤮 Definitely better places to dine in town.
