Review from Larry L.

Well, Denny's is Denny's, as in my last review I just wrote (about another Denny's).
This particular review is a bit overdue, but it needs to be written and I've been putting it off because, of all the Denny's in town.....This is the one with the most experiences I've had.
I've had not just one coffee thrown in my face here, but two.
A glass of ice cold water and literaly egg on my face. All separate occasions mostly performed by the opposite sex. (All very pretty I must say).
So my track record here isn't good and it usually was preceded by an evening at a night club or bar or something.
I did have a good experience here after meeting a lovely nice woman, who after she poured the ice cold water on my pants, appolagized and then signed me up for a multi-level marketing business and a ton of junk that I bought that I couldn't afford.
I was expected to be a millionaire before the end of the year, but that didn't happen.
The next meeting was my introduction to the egg on my face over breakfast after a night of romance, when I tried to sell my said ware's (bought from the other lady who sold me all that junk) because she probably could use it for herself AND make a ton of money doing so! Egg on my face....The yolk was still hot.
How many "No's" did I count over countless meals here trying to pitch my product or plan. All failed of course.
But during this course of selling makeup, soap, magical health potions, and 3d camera failures, I was being fed by Denny's.
To be honest the food isn't that great, but it always had a place in my gut and business prospectives. It kept me fed and eager enough to go on to my next meeting or post clubing/bar scene adventure.
The service has always been good over the years. The food consistently, Denny's. A bit greasy, but filling. You couldn't go wrong with their breakfast.
But these days (as opposed to 20 years ago). it isn't as cheap as it used to be.
You'll need more than spare change to dine here for the experience.
I thought I should write this, because I know that there were others like me doing the same thing and hopefully more successfully and Denny's was their office too.
Feeding the local desire to eat and do business in whatever form, wether it be multi-level or international. Denny's was a part of that pathway to a financial goal of independance that never prospered. -

Let me first start by saying that I actually love Denny's. Really, I do. I think being a vegetarian my whole life there is a certain novelty to greasy diner food, that and it's just delicious. That being said, avoid this Denny's as if your life depends on it!
I have been here probably five or six times now, and not once have I left feeling satisfied with either my food or my service. But this place could have the best food on the planet and still get one-star for service. I don't like to be mean, but it's like these people are *trying* to be awful. On more than one occasion I've had to get up and *remind* the waittress that we're there, even though we're in plain sight and obviously have nothing on our table yet.
I am seriously considering getting a managerial job here just to turn this place around. Denny's deserves better! -

Let's be honest, when it comes to Denny's I walk through the doors I expect that I am going to be served to be mediocre.
I have been to this location a few times and the food meets my expectation of mediocre plus as an added bonus the staff are actually quite friendly for an establishment that I am sure deals with it's fair share of ignorant drunks!
They also get extra points in my book since very few places that have all day breakfast will do take out orders. The other night I had a hankering for eggs benedict at like 11pm but really wasn't up to sitting in a restaurant . Me and my room mate got on the horn ordered up our meals and desserts and within 25 minutes we were back at home stuffing our selves with mediocre goodness!
Denny's can in no way be described as "fine dining" but it serves a purpose for those late night breakfast cravings! -

This review is not necessarily about "food" because most North Americans are familiar with the bland, mediocre fare served at this most mundane of corporate diners called Denny's. No, I'm not going to explain how this chain uses powdered egg and cooks from frozen ingredients and depends upon fat, frying and comfort foods to lure undiscerning consumers to their cheap melamine tabletops.
I will, however, remind everyone that Denny's made its name as a greasy spoon. I could totally deal with the corporate manipulation and poor nutrition of Denny's when they were offering a $3.99, all-day Grand Slam breakfast. Until very recently, Denny's was synonymous with affordable and slightly below average diner food. However, I went into my local Denny's last week, after a long hiatus, and was flabbergasted to find that every breakfast item - sides aside - was $8.99 or higher. My dining companion and I made a comment about these unjustifiably high prices, but then started to scan the menu for a suitable meal.
It was at this moment, as I was contemplating the engineering marvel that is the 'Moons Over My Hammy' sandwich, that I came to my senses and proclaimed (at a decibel level incongruous to the situation at hand): "Screw this!" My companion, who is also my dad, looked at me in confusion and asked if I would like to dine elsewhere, to which I replied: "Oh, hells yes, father. Hells yes."
Do not eat at Denny's. And never (ever) pay more than $8.00 for breakfast at a greasy spoon. You let me down, Denny...whoever you are. -

Last week I went to a late night movie with some friends I graduated high school with (over twenty years ago). While trying to decide where to go at 12:30 am, one of them suggested Denny's. I hadn't been to a Denny's in years but reluctantly agreed since we used to frequent this establishment back when we were in school together.
When we got there it looked like nothing had changed. The service was still very good. Everyone was friendly and fast.
The problem came when I looked at the menu. As I get older, I am a little more health conscious about what I eat. If I'm going to indulge, and I do quite frequently, it had better be something that is good.
I will always have fond memories of previous visits to Denny's with my friends but I have now outgrown it. Haven't you? -

Great service and food was descent too. Nothing special about the place but it meets expectations. I love going to Denny's for late breakfasts. Let's face it, who wakes up before 12 for breakfast these days?

Went here on a sat night for dinner at 530. Service was bad, the chefs kept staring at our table, and food took an hour to come. Not only did it take a long time, it was cold. Never coming here again.

We were driving around and we find this place. The hostess and waiter was very nice. The coffee was strong but the food tasted better than the ones I have visited in US. We didn't get a stomach ache after dinner so I think it was OK.
