    Raw pancakes

    The food was raw. The service was fine but we couldn't eat the food at all. Both plates had pancakes with raw centers and my friend had undercooked bacon and potatoes. This is the second time I've had a bad experience here. The last time the wait was an hour for food for some reason and this time they informed us that they had to call the shift because they had left the building. We were there at 11 pm on Sunday 5/10/26

    Alex greeted us when we walked in and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Tuesdays kids eat free. My 10 year old daughter was not hungry so we took her meal to go. She picked chicken strips and a side salad. She loved it! My husband and I ordered the All America Slam for $12.99 and the second one was $1 so yummy! We forgot to take a picture because we were so hungry and did not think about it until after we ate! Highly recommend this location! Everyone is nice and the portion sizes are large! Pancakes filled the plate! Alex kept our beverages full and checked in with us several times! Come see him on Tuesday night and bring the kids!!

    Right next to the hotel so great for a late night snack?! NO, stomach was feeling terrible after so bad decision for both of us :(.... Food quality and cleanliness probably needs improving. Denny's is no longer an option in the future.

    "It's an American Institution!" Denny's Arlington Heights is a pretty nice location. The food is always pretty good here, service can sometimes be a bit slow but they're always pretty friendly. Can't beat the omelette and hash browns - classic meal but with inflation I'd recommend the Grand Slam and I believe kids eat free on Tuesdays you just can't beat that. Thanks for staying reasonable with your prices Denny's.

    For me, this is a solid Denny's location when I'm looking for reasonably priced diner food that will fill me up near the southern Arlington Heights area. The seating is spacious though maybe a little dated at the moment. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient, Portion sizes are fairly generous. The parking setup is slightly confusing as this feels like it's in a little more cramped spot than many other Denny's locations, but there's plenty of it. In terms of cooking, this is a bit better than other Denny's I've visited in that the food comes out very hot, there are some noticable textures like crisp hash browns and crisp edges on pancakes, and the presentation is fairly good. The food also seems a bit less greasy overall than some other Denny's locations that I've been to. Overall, good option for a quick and reasonably priced meal if you're looking for diner food in the area. There's plenty of options to satisfy any craving.

    Just went here for a snack with my daughter at night to get food to go. There was No cars in the lot and no one in the restaurant. We order season fries, hash browns and zesty nachos. Check and ordering was smooth however the food was terrible. I would think with the place being slow and not busy the food would be good quality. My daughter didn't even want to eat her food because it was nasty. Hash browns did not look or taste cooked at all. The season fries were burnt. I asked for extra sour cream for nachos and did not rcv it. This has to be the worst tasting food I've had at a restaurant ever honestly. I am very disappointed with how the food came out. I should have checked it before I left the restaurant. Because I would have asked for at least the hash browns to be cooked better. I usually do not write reviews unless something is really great or really bad. This was extremely bad. I will probably never eat dennys again.

    My husband and I met a friend at this Arlington Heights Denny's. It had been a while since I've been to a Denny's. I forgot how good the food here could be. I got the chocolate shake and the cinnamon pancake slam. The slam comes with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausage. The shake was rich and sweet. The cinnamon pancakes were fantastic and may be my new favorite item there. The booth was small and cramped, and the server could have come over a couple of more times, but overall, we had a good experience. I look forward to coming back to Denny's.

    Late night snack for so cheap was appreciated. What a treat, this place rocks, and took Mr back to high-school hijinks.

The staff is always friendly and the seating is comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Hubs and I wanted something light for lunch and Mr. Allison's always hit for a tasty meal. They have an incredible ham sandwich with REAL HAM! Not those cheesy little slices from a package, but real thick sliced ham. Hubs gets a ham sandwich on white toast which is better than his childhood meal. It's packed with juicy ham, come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and half of a pickle. I love their crispy bacon so a BLT Club is my go-to. It's not fancy, it's just good. I wish there were more bacon to each sandwich but it's still filling. They charge extra for fries or chips to go with, which the servers don't mention (the extra charge) when they ask if you want fries or chips. The soups are DELICIOUS! They serve good o' fashioned split pea soup with ham. I don't care for the croutons cubes because depending on the day, it can taste a little oily and stale to me. All of their creamed soups are yummy, my favorite being the Cream of Chicken Rice. Permanently on the soup rotation are Split Pea and Chili (which can have a little kick). The other soup rotates. Don't miss on the breakfast options too! I love their breakfast combos with eggs and ham or bacon. The pancakes are light and fluffy. The French toasts are crispy and thick! I don't think I've ever had a bad meal at Mr. Allison's. They also sell cooked ham by the pound, quarter, half, and whole for gatherings! We also get 2 pounds of thick cut ham & they make great sandwiches at home. Our sons will eat them as snacks. We order ham from Mr. Allison's for Easter and Thanksgiving. Why cook when theirs is tastier?

They proudly claim to offer "The Biggest Breakfast" and they are true to their word! Since they offer ZERO fruit, I ordered a side of hash browns, which were served as a triple-sized portion. They seemed to be prepared in grease, not oil, and I found them inedible after 2 bites. My husband, who is a big, tall guy and could eat breakfast for every single meal, said that his omelette must have been made out of a dozen eggs. There was a "greasy" texture to all of his food and he found it inedible as well. This place offers some kind of ham that he was excited to try, but he spat it out into his napkin. The good? Very cute and charming "old school" diner feel, service was adequate and the prices, if you want to feel like you are eating from a dumpster, are quite good.

I spied another customer with a BIGS thick cut pastrami (smoked corned beef). The guy caught me looking and said it's the best pastrami in the tri state area. Best fries in the area as well! Perfect! They also have yummy homemade ice cream. A week later. I had the same meal at Smoque. The brisket there was delish and was a little more moist. But any smoke flavor was very very light. And Smoque's fries were just ok. So I give it to Big Ange's for BEST brisket, BEST fries!

We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?
