I'm torn - let's call this a 3.5. The staff are really nice. The food was tasty. The dining area was clean. This would be a 4 star review had I not walked into the bathroom. It reeked of urine. Like someone had peed on the walls every day for a month. If the bathrooms were cleaner, I'd love it here. As it is, I'd come back, but I'd avoid the bathroom. read more

Went to dennys on a thursday morning. It was very empty with maybe 2 other tables. The waiters was super friendly and she had a really positive vibe and was very nice. Or food was made well with no problems. With their prices especially the $5 grand slams, you can't beat that! Although the only complaint is that the floors were very slippery if you have certain shoes on. read more

My waitress was on point, but the biscuits and gravy is horrible, gravy was so thick you could taste chunks of flour biscuits was hard, I got a side order of hashbrowns that was crunched in grease, go to cash out had a issues with the machine for 15 minutes wouldn't let me clear the No Tip button, I left a cash tip, never going back between Dennys and IHOP I think I'll choose McDonald's next time read more

do not doordash from the meltdown you will end up waiting for hours and no food will ever come your way. complete waste of time and money

we had heather this time around i told her we were on a time crunch and she understood! she had amazing service and got our food out super quickly! other than waiting 10min to see her she turned around and did an amazing job! hopefully we get her again! read more

We rolled in at 7am with 30 folks and they took it in stride (our softball tournament was delayed) they did a great job and the food was excellent! Many of haven't been to Dennys in 20 years and with this experience we will be back! The restaurant was very clean as well! read more

Waited a hour for ice cream at 10pm on a Monday They didn't have what we wanted 1st then literally took OVER A HOUR 4 ice cream. The worst dennys- overa hour for ice cream I will not be returning read more

The person on the intercom couldn't seem to grasp that I wanted beef instead of chicken, this is the "new jalapeño popper sandwich" This review was definitely for Wendy's, no idea what happened. read more

Denny's - A shitty ass chicken sandwich, 25$ for two meals is absolutely ridiculous. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I disagree with all this Denny's hate. The only thing that has gone wrong recently with the Denny's order we had had is that they gave us something extra. And that after going there at like so many times. The food is always hot and well cooked and the employees are always friendly, fast, and kind. We have gone late late at night, regular dinner hours, and Mid to late day and it has been great every single time. We have also sat down and gotten carry out! Give them raises!! read more

Service sucks waited 10 min to sit there were only two people in front of us the servers seemed like they didn't want to be there shot staffed wen we sat down there were only12 people in the whole restaurant so don't eat here unless you have lots of time read more

I ordered take out and got the wrong meal, (It had bacon, which I have an allergy to and mentioned it when ordering). Called the restaurant back the manager (female) told me to go elsewhere, instead of trying to resolve the issue. She was very rude about it, too. Called the next day and spoke to a different manager who said I would get my credit card refunded for the error. Almost a month and still no refund...Is there someone to call to fix this? Beware about going in here read more

Please reconsider ordering from this restaurant. I ordered food on Nov 17th through their app and the order was cancled. Ok things like that happen. So why now when we are in Dec and I have.talked to 3 different people I still haven't gotten my money back. They offered to remake my food witch was nice but when I told them I don't drive they were like then we can't help you. So I don't get my food or my money. Again be careful doing business with this place very shady​ read more

It was very cold in here it took a while for me and my family to get seated even though it wasn't crowded and I had to stir my strawberry lemonade in myself even though it should already be stored but the food was good read more

The service was rushed. My family of 6 seemed like an inconvenience to the hostess that they sat us at a table right above a leaky roof. Yes my kids got rained on while sitting indoors. Waitress seemed annoyed when my son was thinking of a replacement to order when what he wanted they didn't have. She practically told him what to order so she can move on. We began eating when our ticket was already at our table but her staying "no rush" was to make it ok. No more checking back in after she gave the ticket. And to finish it off... there was hair on my ham. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

A friend and I went here a couple weeks back and I was pleasantly surprised by the entire visit. When we walked in I was unaware of the remodel, which I must say is impressive. I spent a huge portion of my early 20's coming here late night with friends. Which was rather filthy and outdated. It's so much cleaner and just overall has a better atmosphere. The food was great. We ordered breakfast of course. Moons over my hammy and pancake pups for me. So good! The new iced coffee was great too. Not bad Denny's! Quick suggestion to edit the info for this restaurant. They are open 24 hours, always have and always will. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Wasn't very busy when sat down the waitress did come to get our drink order. Then we waited. 5, 10, and finally 20 minutes but still no drinks. We hadn't even placed our food order yet. Another couple sat next to us experienced the same thing. We got up and left without making a big scene. The staff just watched us leave, they knew why and didn't apologize or anything. The manager could care less what was happening. Terrible read more

Worst dennys ever. I finished my game of euchre with my grandparents at the table Before we even got offered drinks and we finally just decided to walk out after the cook ashed his Pall Mall 100 into someone's omelet. Rather go to Waffle House and share an egg with a roach. I don't even feel bad for dropping an upper decker in there. read more

Always loved Dennys but this time not so much. So much salt and seasoning on fries and they loaded the burger with way too much mayo. Seriously who puts so much seasoning on fries? And the mayo you took a bite after i wiped the buger off, and gobs fell while squirting in mouth. Will we ever again?????NO read more

This location was short staffed today. We were told we would have a twenty minute wait but we're seated sooner. Once seated we had exceptional service and the food was delicious. KUris to the the staff for their hard work. All area restaurants are short staffed. All. Dennys made us feel at home and we will be back read more

Ugh.. This Denny's just sucks. I'm usually pretty happy with food from Denny's.. And always pretty happy with the service I get from them. But this one just happened to fall pretty low.. Which is pretty hard for me because I'm a pretty forgiving person on busy days. When I went, I went with my best and her boyfriend, and there were maybe three other groups our size in the restaurant. It did get busier later in the night when we were still there, but that is normal for any Denny's. The woman who took our order didn't use a note pad to write down any of our orders.. And was overall just a rude person. I have a pretty harsh allergy to any milk.. So when I asked if there was any milk of any of my food, she got really snippy and just shrugged and said "it's probably just starch." Even after I asked of there was any milk in anything I was having, she asked me if I wanted a milkshake. ...Really? Whatever. So the restaurant got busy.. And at this point we went 15 minutes without even getting our waters.. She brought out all the food and didn't even hand it to us. She slid the plates across the table, and didn't even ask if we needed anything else. The food was meh.. Didn't sit with me too well. Also, my best friend didn't get her milkshake until about 10minutes before we left. Service at its best in this restaurant, it seemed. read more

Ughhh...same hostess. She needs to move faster! Someone please help this woman or put her somewhere else! She also comes off as slightly rude. She says things in a rude way but has a smile on her face like she's faking being pleasant because the boss told her to smile or something. I don't get it. Went here Saturday for breakfast and ordered the Santa Fe something or other, sizzler? scrambler? I don't remember, but I do remember that it was very tasty. I strongly feel that it should be accompanied with toast but it doesn't come with anything. Dippy eggs with no toast is sacrilegious! It also had potatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, cheese, and onions in it. Great combo! Guess what??? The floor wasn't sticky this time!! Good job guys! It's not my favorite place to eat but it is consistent and I always know what to expect when I eat here. I'm sure we'll be back. Yeah, yeah, you're welcome. read more

I would have to say that my two star rating is more out of pity than deserved. My friends & I attempted to eat here on the afternoon of 03/04/14 but left before we were even seated. I felt so incredibly bad for the hostess that day! This skinny, over worked & underpaid young girl was clearly torn between wanting to quit (which I wouldn't blame her) and the need for some source of income. When we walked into Denny's, the hostess was explaining to the party in front of us that there was a 45 minute wait just for the food. Apparently, all of the cooks and most of the servers had called off that morning and there was no help anywhere in site. I really felt sorry for this girl and wanted to drag her away with us. Because what most people aren't aware of is just how horrible it is to be a server in the line of chain restaurants such as this. Years ago ( I hope things have improved since then but I doubt it) when the Streetsboro Denny's location opened, I discovered that the servers there are only paid $2.13 an hour plus tips. Now it doesn't take a genius to know that the tips in a place like Denny's is degrading (if you even get a tip). Plus they are taxed on the few dollars people do tip them :( $2.13 an hour! To put up with the elderly crotchety crowd and the younger drunk kids who trash the place and never tip. There are a few of us in-betweeners who have been or are in a similar situation who might over tip out of recognition but we are all too few in existence. So regardless of what Denny's you're at, please show so much deserved respect and realize that if you made this little money to be on your feet 8 plus hours a day that you're not going to have a smile on your face or a can-do attitude because their souls have been taken from them. read more

I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with Denny's by now. Weird lighting scheme, never really clean, and "food" disguised as passable with cheese and gravy. Yes, this is the business model for the Denny's chain and it works for them. Normally, I would throw them in with one-star establishments like McDonald's or White Castle, but I don't hate Denny's I come here because Waffle House frightens me and gives me bowel issues and IHOP is inhabited with curfew breaking teens and violent drunks at 3am, which happens to be when I usually need to get dinner. This Denny's is ok. Honestly, a 2-star is better than I would give any other one I've been to. The wait staff is quick and attentive, the food is cooked well even if the quality is sad, and large amounts of food are cheap. Yes it's in a strip of crappy chain restaurants; Friendly's, Panera, Taco Bell, Wendy's, IHOP, Waffle House, White Castle, Burger King, and some others which are too local to mention but are similarly bad. Yes, the area is reminiscent of an after photo of a town ravaged by meth addiction. And yes, every place on the road is on a rotating schedule to be robbed. But I gave it two stars. At 3am, I was fed quickly and inexpensively without having to run home to the bathroom afterwards. read more

We had an awful experience at waffle house where we got no service when we were the only customers present, and others who came in a while after us were served before us. After we left we came down the road to this Denny's, and I am SOOO glad we did. We got prompt service, great food, and we plan on eating here again! Thank you Denny's for actually treating us like customers and being the greatest bunch of hosts we could have at 2:30am! read more

Ordered A burger and got some deflated piece of trash instead. Kudos to the advertisement department for making food look like much more than what it is. Genius way to get all run your hard-working customers well done read more

This place is quick. Food is decent. Just do not go at after bar time. The staff is usually very friendly.

I went to this Denny's and found two hairs within a minute of eating my food. They didn't even offer me a discount. Disgusting

We got seated fast, food was quick, can't really complain about the service and the food wasn't all that great but you can't expect much coming to Denny's read more

Absolutely horrible service steaks weren't cooked right waitress was seriously slacking every single table in the area dirty no ones bothering to clear them off had to get up from my seat to set my cups up on the counter up front in order to get a refill while my waitress continued to just talk.. never even came back to check on us. Was obviously irritated I got up to ask for a refill and immediately brought my check after never a I'm sorry or how was your meal. The name on the receipt was Kayla D. read more

My husband and I went to this Denny's for dinner tonight. I ordered one of the advertised items - Bourbon Chicken Skillet and my husband ordered the meatloaf. When we entered the restaurant there were very few diners. Our server, Kristi was excellent. She took our order right away and brought our drinks our quickly. The problem was with the kitchen. We could see their screen from where we were sitting and saw that Kristi entered our order right away. I'm not sure what the cooks were doing, but they were not doing their jobs. The order before us took them 30 minutes to get done. Ours took 38 minutes. I certainly don't consider Denny's to be fast food but 38 minutes was an excessive amount of time for simple food. I heard the servers asking about the orders to which one of the cooks (I think she was the manager), told them not to worry about the orders being fixed and serve. What were they supposed to serve? They had given everyone drinks and kept coming back and apologizing because it was taking so long. These cooks need to get their act together and so does the manager. read more

Denny's food is pretty much always what I expect--usually edible, greasy diner food at a decent price. I also prefer the updated decor to the griminess of some locations. I usually go there, though, when I need a 24 hour place to study where I have some space to spread out and can get drinkable coffee. Denny's got me through massage school and nursing school. Having worked for tips at one point, I try not to go when I know it will be busy so I know I am not costing the waitresses tables/tips. However, up until today I have always ordered a meal and tried to leave a bigger tip than I normally would if I was just in and out because I AM taking up space. I figure its better than an empty table? As I usually do, I informed the person who seated me that I was probably just going to drink coffee and study, so they could put me in a corner and not bother with me. I don't know if this is still bothersome to waitresses or how it affects how many tables they get, so I hope that is okay. I did feel bad that I only had coffee. I considered ordering dessert just to drive up the bill and hope the waitress didn't hate me, but wasn't really interested since I had a big lunch elsewhere, so I thought I would not waste the food and just leave a bigger tip. I was there, I admit, for 3 hours and the waitress did check on me but I never got a 2nd cup of coffee or anything else. The dining room never got more than half full, so I didn't think I was being a bother. But right before I decided to leave I heard the waitress make a snarky comment about how she loves working for free. I totally get that frustration. Been there, done that. But that is something you complain about behind closed doors--not in front of the customers. Yes, some of them are rude and could use some schooling on the matter, but for someone else who was and always is willing to tip because I've been there, this turned me off. I don't know if she was talking about me or about someone else who stiffed her (there were plenty of families with screaming kids this day and some douche bags using a coupon that complained about the cost and still leaving a tip) but I immediately felt uncomfortable and gathered my stuff and left. One cup of coffee was about $2 and I still left a $3 tip. I feel like that pretty generous for someone who made me feel unwelcome--she still made a 50% tip for every hour I was there and didn't need to do anything. I would probably give the place another shot because usually the waitresses are very nice to me despite my books. I am never demanding and prefer not to be bothered much. But I think I will take my chances at Panera more often because a lot of people hang out there for hours studying and having meetings and using the internet and it doesn't feel like you need to get the Hell out. It's almost expected. Unfortunately, they close before I'm done...very disappointed. read more

I came at 11:30 with my friends and service is super slow. Still gonna stay cause I'm hungry but not happy

My family and I just left this Dennys. In the past we have gone there after 4 and our children would eat free. This time however, we were charged for their meals. When we asked why, they are normally free after 4 we were told that was only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Any other time I would be fine with this except that NO WHERE do they post specific days for this special! Not to mention that they have been free every other time! The website is sketchy saying "days may vary". Really???? Days may vary??? I feel like I've been tricked... This is all after waiting over 40 minutes for our food in an empty restaurant. Very disappointing. When we spoke to the manager, the best she could do was to offer refills on our drinks as we were walking out the door. Come on... Really... read more

I love Denny's but this location is just horrible. The food isn't bad but the serve is horrible. It takes very long to get seated, longer to get someone to take your order and even longer to get your food. So disappointed. read more

It will fill your stomach but there are better choices around for the same amount of money, breakfast is usually safe, but lunch and dinner are dicey, and after 8 or 9pm its best to stick with what comes out of the deep fryer and coffee! read more

Seriously disappointed in the service, no refills, checked on us once and major attitude.

For not being a fast food joint , food came out nice and hot very quick just a fast as the fast food chains near and for waiter "Jason " was nice quick never ran out of coffee and I sertanly had my fill of coffee =] any time before 6 isn't packed so all in all there isn't any thing I can say badly . read more

Honestly. As soon as we got there. The restaurant was not even a quarter full but a table wasn't ready. We waited and once we were seated our waitress disappeared at least 5 times. Took so long to get food and to even get service. If you wait a table you need to make sure they have what they need. Not disappear constantly. The food is fine though. read more

Service is terrible. They have several people standing waiting to be seated with several booths opened. The place was newly remodeled but I don't think it was thought out properly. You have people bringing up their bill to pay, instead of having the waitress do it, which causes more congestion in the waiting area. I had the same experience a year ago. I thought to give it a try again a year later but apparently nothing has changed and the bad reviews on Google still have not made the realize things need to change. read more
