Not to impressed. They were short staffed, a bit overwhelmed and the waitress keep saying she was the only one in her area. Coffee was hot. The food wasn't hot when it was set at the table. Usually the restaurant will smell like food but there was an unpleasant order, like old. I almost walked out the door. Could be better. I'm well aware of inflation but $40 was to much for breakfast.

Back in the days it was pretty hard to go to this particular Dennys mainly because of the kitchen staff being rude and taking forever to make the food. It has been about 2 yrs and I decided to go back. I have to admit that the service now exceeded my expectations, the waitresses were the same as back then still doing their awesome job as always but the kitchen staff, dishwasher, and busboy were on point. Picking up the dishes from the table making sure it was clean and ready for the next costumer, kitchen staff was not screaming or complaining. It looked as if they all got along and worked together in harmony. One employee really jumped out at me as very genuine, polite and professional. This employee had a smile for everyone who he greeted, made small conversation and asked everyone how their meal is, later found out that this employee cooks on 3 days of the week but the day I went he was as a dishwasher which showed me that he multitasking and assuming multiple roles at the job. This employee name is Mr. Alexander Hawkins. I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful smile and professionalism. Everyone was great but looked tired and maybe over worked, yet Mr. Hawkins was coming and going with the dishes and making conversation with a great smile. Actually made me feel very welcomed and wanting to go back. I can only pray for more employees like him or for people to imitate his way of working. Good job ? two thumbs up ?. Nevertheless, seeing familiar faces was great seeing new ones was good as well with great attitude and awesome work ethics. Keep up the good work guys. Now I will definitely recommend that dennys to everyone. ?❤️

The waitress was the sweetest and most helpful! She is handling half the restaurant. She was so kind. My review is solely on the fact that most of the food taste like it was cooked with old grease. The pancakes taste off. When entering there is a musty smell.

I hope the staff at this Denny's is doing well. Like I said in my previous review, it was the best steak I'd had in some time. What a devoted these people are is amazing. Like I said in the previous review, the mother and son working there were absolutely adorable. Her son was young and very precious and you can tell he was very good son and a very hard worker. My blessings to all that work there and especially to the mother and son.

Clean place. Friendly service. The waitress did initially make a mistake on my order and only gave me one sausage and one bacon but when I pointed it out she apologized profusely and brought me extra bacon and extra sausage!!!! Hash browns were greasy and overcooked but I don’t really eat those anyways. Overall good quality meal. Good customer service!!!!!

Best steak I've had for a long time. Friendly staff. Adorable Mom and Son working together! Precious son. They were short staffed but still provided great food and service. Bless their hearts. May they be blessed with great fortune. ❤️?

I wanted breakfast with a side of pancakes ?. Denny's always delivers!Over medium eggs ? on top of well done hash browns, Al that yummy warm yolk makes them perfect. Well done sausage filled me up. Pancakes with lots of butter into the box with my ham. Made for a perfect dinner the next night. ? Say what you will, but Denny's makes quality breakfast and other items. Go try a ten pack of the strawberry pancake pups. AMAZING, especially with the cream cheesy dip. Trust me, 6 are never enough. (Unless you're alone. Ah, screw it. Eat all 10!)

The staff really touched my heart today. I loved seeing their love and attentiveness for the disabled. I left that place wanting to be a better person. Great job to everyone working hard and the food was good too.

This place is awful tbh. I decided to take my family out for breakfast on mother's day. The place wasn't busy but waited quite some time for our food. I literally watched ppl that came in after us getting their food first. I ordered a crepes meal and my crepes had cookie dough and chocolate mixed in. Our waitress had an attitude but treated the next customers completely different. The floors are filthy and greasy and I saw another waitress clean off a table, sweep up the garbage and then proceed to sweep off the seats with the same broom she just swept the floors with. Honestly disgusting!!! The manager comped my crepes but it wasn't enough to make me come back here.
