It's a Dennys, so if you are familiar with the chain, you know what to expect. This place is great, though, if you have a noisy gang and want to eat out but don't want to bother everyone else's dinner. With the TVs and the general bustle, this place always seems to have a lot going on, but in a well-lit environment without the whole drunken bar scene. Two MAJOR drawbacks for this location: it's impossible to get into the parking lot unless you are coming from the direction of the mall - and there are no good U-turns in the other direction. Total pain - add 10 minutes to your travel time. Don't ever order anything not on the 'regular' menu - pancakes, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns - check, check, check - consistently good and cooked right. Dinner entrees, seasonal items, anything with avocado - forget it. It will likely add 20 minutes to your wait and it could be sketchy. read more

I came in recently for breakfast and damn they actually fixed the place up. I remember looking the same for at least 25 years or more. Sadly, the food did not get an upgrade. Terms like mediocre and subpar come to mind for me. While cheap, the food reminds me of something I buy in the frozen section of the grocery store. I ate at eggcellance recently and man the food there blows Danny's out of the water! The employees must be very loyal because I have seen a lot of the same faces throughout the years. No disrespect to them, but I can't imagine tips being that great there. read more

Denny's - Revamped store! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

this is the worst dennys ever. I sat down and the waitress wouldn't take my order. Every 5 minutes she said "be right there". After 30 minutes I just left. She only had like 4 tables and was freaking out at everybody. The manager was right there but instead of taking my order she just walked around doing nothing pretending to wipe tables. Worst service I've ever seen...even on TV. Felt bad for the kitchen staff who seemed okay read more

Super friendly server took our order quickly and let us know that it was kids eat free night! I love a deal! It's typical Dennys fare so it's nothing to write much about unless it's really good or bad. read more

Stopped here for breakfast with my husband. Friendly staff, great server - professional and personable. I had the 9 grain pancakes and they were fantastic!!!! Like a warm oatmeal cookie. With syrup. A really wonderful breakfast - ordered 2, took half home for the next day - just as good. I am going to try and make these at home, but will be back for the real deal. read more

I wish I had looked at the yelp rating before we came here. The host was nice. The waitress and food left something to be desired. I am not looking for amazing food at a Dennys. BUT if I order my hash browns extra crispy and they aren't even cooked through... ick! I know who to blame if I do get sick today. We had to ask for coffee and the waitress wasn't very attentive. She also brought the dirty creamer dish over with it resting inside the coffee mug. Gross. read more

What's there to say about Denny's...it's "mood food" and it's inexpensive. Service is usually pretty good and food tends to come out quickly as long as its not slammed in there. My only complaints are..it could be cleaner. A serious deep cleaning crew should come in there and once over the whole place. Next time you're there look at the windows. They are caked with crust! Super gross. And the last complaint is something that the staff can't really do anything about...we live in Edgewater and getting to Denny's is soooo inconvenient. We have to go all the way down to the hospital and come up around the mall to turn right into Denny's. I wish they had a back way to get in there from Riva rd. But I'll make the drive to avoid the new Ihop in Edgewater. read more

Good afternoon, visited this Denny's on 12/25/20, Christmas Day. Had not visited a Denny's restaurant in a very long time. All previous experience in Denny's have been good. This one was definitely the opposite. We walked in by the hostess table but no one was there. I imagine because it was Christmas Day they might of being short handed. We waited 15 minutes without no one saying anything. I approached someone at the pick up table ( who will turn out to be the Manager later). I asked if someone could sit us and he stated one of the waitress would sit ( only 2 working the floor). I asked one of the waitress that walked by " do we need to turn into a pumpkin before we get seated". She came back " as soon as I clean off a table we will seat you". 15 more minutes passed by. At this point I elected to walk out. As I was waking the same waitress I had encounter commented under her breath in smart way " Bye". I asked for her name and she said "it is right over and my manager is there". I spoke to the Manager Darrell ( gentleman from first interaction). He was a nice guy and very apologetic. He offered a table but my blood pressure had already risen and we decided to leave. Bottom line service could have been 100 percent better. Plus waitress with that type of attitude do not need to work there or anywhere else for that matter. I am a small business owner and my customers are my priority and life line. read more

Every meal here is a disappointment. A place specializing in breakfast should not hire any cook who doesn't know how to cook eggs. With the exception of scrambled, no matter what order you place, everyone at the table receives the same thing. Hashed browns should be called hashed whites. If you ask for them crispy or well done, they have a thin layer of burnt potatoes and a thick layer of undercooked potatoes. Impossible for them to serve like they are pictured in the menu. read more

I hate being ignored. After waiting 15 minutes after I was sat, no one even came over and took my drink order. It wasn't crowded and there was enough wait staff. So pathetic. read more

We've been going to this Denny's for years, and it is consistently good! I get the Omelettes, while my seems stuck on the Fit Slam... Ah well, stick with what works for you! There have been some changes this year, including a re worked menu and a major upgrade to the interior of the restaurant. Super nice! read more

This is a terrific breakfast place. I have eaten here many times over the years and have never been disappointed. This restaurant makes great omelets, has good coffee and provides excellent service. read more

I have not been to a Dennys in some time. This one looks like it was newely renovated. It was very nice and clean. I noticed that others mentioned they had poor service. Our server was outstanding. She was super friendly and very accommodating. We had better service than in some fine dining establishments we have eaten in. I wish I could remember name to mention it here. The food was your typical Denny's diner fare. They had new hamburgers on the menu that we tried and everyone liked very much. One in our party got the steak and cheese sandwich, and he raved about how good it was. The kids got chocolate lava cakes after dinner and they were very good as well. We had an excellent experience, good food for the money, and outstanding service. We will be back again. read more

Worst staff ever! Was told it would be a 20 min wait, waited for 35 min only to be skipped over by a party that signed in after me for no apparent reason. The host was completely lackadaisical, had no personality and offered no explanation as to why he skipped over me. I wish you could give negative star reviews. Avoid this place at all costs, completely inept management and staff. read more

Fast, yummy breakfast here. Just what you expect from any Denny's. My hubby and I come here when we are craving a full breakfast on weekends. We sit at the breakfast bar most of the time because you get faster and more attentive service. During our past visit, I noticed that the servers do not help each other out. No help with food running. It was to each their own, which I find really sad and selfish especially since I could see the food slowly dying in the window. I'd really like to see that changed. Teamwork is so important especially for this Denny's because I'm pretty sure it's a magnet for tourists. Also, the current manager on duty was not impressive. Instead of helping his servers out (some triple sat and others running around with their heads cut off and food dying in the window) he was busy trying to change the channel on the TV or ignoring the fast forming line at the register to cash people out. I was not impressed and felt bad for the servers. The other major thing I really want to see changed is the interior. This Denny's needs a SERIOUS makeover. It looks EXACTLY the same when I was in high school (late 1990s). Dear owner of this Denny's, It's 2012! Modern it up! Get rid of the glass enclosed dining area that used to be the smoking section. Give your servers a place they can really enjoy looking at and working in! And give us customers a more comfortable place to enjoy our food! read more

taste is good but really crunchy and not like the picture . expectation vs reality. the waiter gave us our food and sat it at the very edge of the table . who does that? the waitress JESSICA was very rude. me and my party said that we wanted the check together but pay with 2 different cards. Not knowing that it wasn't possible, she gave us the check and we took it to the front. Then when we got up there, the other waitresses had explained nicely that it couldn't be done so we had to split the checks. Jessica then came over and pointed at us and yelled "she just told me one check" and rolled her eyes. Idk where she's from but in business, you do not do anything like that. Even if you feel that you are right, the customer is always right. very rude. Everyone else was nice. read more

I come back to this Denny's for 1 reason.. 1 person.. April is her name!!! She is the Best!! She is such a blessing!!! She always knows my order. She jokes with me especially when I want something different !! She is so sweet and upbeat!!! She is what Real Service is about!!! A Class Act !!! read more

The food was delicious and Jessica was a terrific waitress. We didn't have to wait for any thing she was always on point. Refills was there before we could ask. Very polite with a welcoming smile and attitude. Restaurant was very clean. Wait time was short will be back again. read more

Made the mistake of getting an evening breakfast here: a "senior" Belgian waffle special, consisting of one scrambled egg, 2 sausage links (which I asked to be cooked extra well done), & the waffle. All were barely warm when they came out, and I asked to get a replacement (hot) egg. All that night my stomach was gurgling, and in the morning I'd had a case of almost unending diarrhea. I've had upset stomachs from eating breakfast at (other) Denny's in the past, but not this bad. The food at Denny's just seems to be greasy, and I don't know if it's unsanitary conditions, the grease, or both, but I'd have to be pretty desperate to eat at another Denny's, especially considering the $33+ bill for the measly amount of food my wife & I got. Yuck. read more

When we walk in it took thirty minutes to seet us the hostess was great but the waitress took another thirty the food was bad all in all

My friend and I visited here for Veteran's Day. We both of course had the grand slam breakfast. It was my first time here and I enjoyed it. The waitress was nice. I like the food as well !! I would go again considering there isn't a Waffle House near by. It was also clean there !! read more

We love this Denny's. The people are great. Very professional. The Mgr Darryl checked on all the tables personally and awesome wait staff-Deon, Ella and Kathy are great. Food is always yummy and they grill the Texas toast with butter. Very clean and they're always cleaning and masked. Coffee freshly brewed and orders come out hit and fresh. It's our go to place for breakfast when in Annapolis read more

I've been back a few more times since my last review and it's clear to me now it just depends who is working. If you get good staff the dining experience will be nice but if you get bad staff the dining experience will be bad. Of course there is a crap shoot and you never know if your waiters, hostesses, and cooks are gonna be good or bad so I always kinda treat dennys as a only if I'm craving it place now. read more

How does this place stay open? No hostess. Everyone building up at the door. Waiting ten minutes and still no hostess. Waitresses walking about and smiling as if there is nothing to worry about and still...no hostess... Goodbye! Going to Double T down the street where they actually have enough staff and care a bit. read more

Went here with my family of seven. Mind you they only had about three waitresses and waiters. They were ignoring us after seating us. Took about 40-45 for us to even get drinks and someone to come to our table. We had gotten there around 8 just sad this restaurant disappointed me almost as bad as the Hanover Denny's read more

The worse Denny's I've have ever visited. The hostess never made contact. Finally said how many. 1. They had maybe 5 tables. Waitresses cussing at the cook and each other. Totally Ghetto. Sat there for 15 minutes. No one took my order. I left. Will be calling management tomorrow. read more

Used to like going to Denny's for a good cheap bite. Not anymore. The one in Annapolis had gone way down hill super fast. Last couple of times we've gone wait staff has been horrible and food not good. Feel free to try it if you want to get super frustrated and then sick to your stomach. That's the only combo they offer there read more

This place is busy for breakfast! We waited a bit before we got a table. When we were seated I ordered coffee. The waitress brought me the cup of coffee complete with someone else' lipstick marks on it. I showed it to her and she brought it away. When she returned with the cup, the lipstick was gone from the spot it was, but then there were streaks of pink on the other side of the mug....so instead of getting me a clean cup she just wiped off the lipstick but not such a thorough job. I didn't say anything, but just dipped my napkin in my water and scrubbed the cup before drinking from it. Ordered pancakes with blueberries alongside the Human Torch which I am VERY glad I did. The HumanTorch arrived on a very hot skillet and was too hot to eat for around 20 minutes or so. I ended up moving pieces from the skillet onto my pancake plate just to cool it off in order to eat it. Although the description sounded lovely, in reality the food was not edible. I picked away at it, but the food was just pure hot... like suicide wings. I didn't enjoy it at all. I felt sick for the rest of the day, and I won't return. read more

Denny's has always been a great place for me and the group to go on a Sunday morning after a long Saturday night. Recently I have seen a great decline in service and food quality. Our orders are never right. It always takes a ridiculous amount of time to get our food, and drinks are always empty. I always get the same thing. Chicken salad. Shouldn't be to hard right? Wrong, out of all the orders it usually takes the longest. Never comes with the bread and avocado like its supposed to. After waiting a great amount of time for our food that always comes out wrong going to pay is always a big ordeal. For some reason asking for a military discount is frowned upon here. We get the roll of the eyes and big sighs as if we are asking for something that's nearly impossible to do! Denny's I have to say that you used to be a great place for a group of friends to recoup after a long night, now its just not worth the drive, the wait, and the money. Don't worry though you won't be handing out anymore military discounts for this group of sailors. Sorry for the inconvenience. read more

Service was kind of rough to begin with, no greeting at the door and they sat my party at a dirty booth. Then we ordered and when i changed my mind about my meal they made it seem like it was a big deal! I asked for a straw she took a whole 2 tables orders before giving me a straw! Served our food at the end of the table and lets talk about the blueberry puppies that look nothing like whats on the menu! Food was ok but i def wont be returning. Our Waitress Jessica was very rude! read more

TVs right at the bar, perfect for watching UFC fights and reruns of Robot Wars. Those old robot fighting shows were the best. Grant from Mythbusters actually got his start on one of those programs but I think he's doing propaganda for McDonald's now. read more

The worst Denny's I have ever experienced. Top to bottom. Bad food, extremely bad service.

This place has terrible service and appears dirty and cluttered. Try the Double T Diner down the street.

So, I was on my way from Nordstrom to Whole Foods starving to death since I had not had time to eat before leaving home. Denny's driveway was right there inbetween calling to me to give them a try before I passed out from hunger. I know I am a bit of a food snob and there must be lots of people who like this kind of food, but then there are lots of people supporting Chef Boyardee too... Coffee was awful, the shredded frozen potato side was tasteless with a nasty texture, the bread for the toast was the cheapest quality, and the cheese omelet was rubbery. But the worst of all was the fact that they did not even have the option of butter, only the artificial margarine style topping that comes out of a chemistry lab. Super yuck. I won't be back to try anything else and the reason I am giving 2 instead of 1 stars is that I noticed some hamburgers coming out of the kitchen that looked like they might actually be decent. So, maybe the lunch fare is better?? I'm afraid I will never know... read more

Denny's is a very hit or miss place. We go there only for breakfast. The breakfast menu is typical, eggs, meats, pancakes, etc. A consistant problem I have is they fry the eggs on a too hot grill and the egg edges get crispy and brown and sometimes the yoke also gets fried to a medium. These are eggs that are supposed to be over easy. The quanity of food is not consistant either, sometimes an order is very small and other times the servings are huge. The servers are the best and the only reason I'm rating this Denny's a 3. Although they have done upgrades to its location there is much more that could be done. read more

The best service and lunch. April was our server she was very awesome and very helpful and always smiling

Amazing place to go. Clean, fast, friendly, and great atmosphere. The staff are efficient and on top of there game. It was truly a wonderful experience. read more

Haven't been to Dennys in awhile so popped in for breakfast and mentioned it was my birthday. The waitress, April (very friendly and efficient) immediately said Dennys would like to wish me Happy Birthday with a free breakfast!! When the breakfast arrived it was delicious, not greasy, terrific bacon and they even have gluten-free muffins. What a great surprise and treat...way to go Dennys!!! I had to pay for my coffee, which I didn't mind cause I love their coffee. Thanks for making my day special read more

This Denny's saved me from starving in Annapolis. I was here on a business trip, and not knowing that nothing is open late, I was ready to leave town until I found a McD's. Luckily, I turned the corner and the bright, savory Denny's sign lit up my night. Thank you, Denny's. That said, the food here is what you would expect of Denny's. The service was good and the waitress was friendly. I had so much food. I just kept eating and eating like a baby. read more
