We have eaten in many Denny's through the years. Usually the food is mediocre, but at least it's consistent. This location was just awful. I ordered the bourbon chicken. It was like trying to eat rubber. I might complain, but I seldom send food back. This went back. I ordered a different dish expecting it to be a short prep time. It took over 30 minutes. The place was under staffed, but what place isn't? I didn't realize it until later, but likely the chicken was undercooked. There did not seem to be a cook. The wait staff were trying to pick up the slack but clearly they weren't trained. This location needs to close before they make someone very sick. Service was very slow. The server could have suggested another choice if she knew there was an issue with the chicken. On a positive note my wife said her omlette was okay, even though it took 25 minutes. This is attached to the Flying J truck stop. Keep on trucking. There are better places down the road. read more

Food was great & our server Melaney was professional, accurate with our orders and very friendly.

I'm a trucker stopped here and went in to get some food and they refused to serve me. They said they're short staffed and they had an incident involving the police earlier. But there's still diners and another man just got seated in front of me but I got refused. I can't go anywhere so it's either the gas station food or dennys but they decided I don't get to eat. I don't normally leave 1 stars but I've worked in restaurants many years from busser to manager and to refuse a customer is absurd. read more

I returned to give this place a second chance. I can't believe that they are still serving food to people. Food is always cold and not properly prepared. Breakfast is the worse I've ever had and I travel a lot . I was given dried out over cooked sausages. Waitress returned them then only to serve me GRAY IN COLOR COLD SAUSAGES. Bacon was cold and seemed to be sitting since they opened . Then to top it off I was offered a 15% disc to which I already am an AARP discount person. I probably should've had paid for the food being we didn't eat it but I felt bad for the waitress who needs a job and has to work in such a POOR ESTABLISHMENT. DONT EVER GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE. YOU WILL JUST GET THE SAME BAD FOOD SERVICE AS BEFORE. I WROTE TO CORPORATE OFFICES AND THEY DIDNT REPLY ...... GREAT BUSINESS read more

My burger was done to perfection. The bread was grilled right. Burger was so juicy. I will be returning for a burger.

Always some kind of issue!! Either they don't have enough people, out of something, or have something wrong where they can't even open. Or like today..."we aren't seating anyone for 30 minutes" but a few people seated and eating so don't understand that!!! Think we are done trying to eat there!!!! read more

Let's pump up those low average reviews... 5 stars to start! This place is the equivalent of IHOP or Waffle House... But better :) my club sandwich was good and to be a 24h place I had nothing to complain about ! :) Service was quick and precise . Nice job guys keep up the good work! read more

Denny's - The bar section neat and clean :) - Diners Near Me - Blacksburg, South Carolina

The worst biscuits and gravy ever, and Ian over 60 years old. Don't stop or buy a frozen burrito and micronuke it. It will taste better

My spouse had breakfast with his cousin at this Denny's and it was terrible. The food smelled greasy and it was old cooking oil used! Smelled just like old cooking grease which you are suppose to throw out not cook with the food and then serve to your customers. What's wrong with this picture. They need someone who knows how to cook and prepare a decent meal. This establishment does not compare to Ihop or Waffle House. Buyer beware and find a place where the cooking oil is fresh not used over and over again. read more

It's Denny's. I don't know what people expect. We were exhausted after a day at Carowinds and wanted a meal to sit down and enjoy without being too expensive. We didn't have any wait on a Friday evening. You could tell they were understaffed because some service was a little slow. However our server was prompt with anything we asked and food came reasonably quickly. My husband and kids ordered breakfast food and their pancakes were very fluffy and looked delicious. The bacon wasn't as crispy as everyone would prefer, but not terrible. I got chicken tenders and French fries. I think the tenders were cooked a little long, they had a slight burnt flavor. But you know what? It's Denny's at a truck stop, dipped it in honey mustard and it tasted fine. read more

Very slow service. I order online to save me time so when I stop at the truck stop for the night my food SHOULD already be ready. nope. I get there and I wait like an hour after my estimated time for it to be ready. I literally had time to do my laundry and shower and everything. Update: finally got my food. The hamburger is cold, not sure how that's possible with thyme taking so long to prepare it. These are my mozzarella sticks. No cheese inside. my request for a sweet tea no ice turned into an unsweetened with ice. I usually eat here all the time but never again. I could have slaughtered the cow and prepared my own hamburger by the time I got my nasty food read more

This location is a must return to. The food is so delicious, the service is great even for being under staffed. Our waitress Angela, was the best part. She's funny,and her tableside manner is wonderful. She's prompt and courteous and so her being so wonderful at her job I gave her a $15.00 tip Definitely will be returning, see ya soon girl read more

Me and my husband went in there on a Wednesday night and the service was terrible. We sat at our table for 45 minutes before anyone even came up to our table to take our order. There was another couple sitting at the booth in front of us that had the same waitress we did and I made eye contact with her. Once someone came to our table they were very rude and it was the hostess. We then waited another hour on our food. When we got the food the eggs where raw when they where supposed to be scrambled. Never got a refill on our drinks. The ice was melted. We were stared at, pointed at, and talked about the entire time we were there. One of the girls husbands where there (whom we had no contact with) and she pointed at both me and my husband and told him that he needed to handle us because we where being mean and rude to her. At the very end we were charged $33 and they had the audacity to ask if we wanted to leave a tip. read more

We stopped by the Dennys, we were traveling to Atlanta on 85. I ordered the lumber jack. The pancake were so very good fluffy and hot. My eggs may have been a tou h over cooked. Everything was delicious ious. The others in our group enjoyed their meals. My server Angela is amazing. Ask for her. If you are traveling this is a great stop. Give'em a try. read more

I'm giving one star for extremely lack of communication . I placed an order at 5:38PM on 2/25/24 through Uber eats and the app said my estimated food pick up time will be approximately 6:45PM the latest would be 7:35PM. Then at 6:43PM I get a notification stating that the driver named Mark driving a Honda CRV was on his way to pick up the food. At 7:06 PM I called Denny's to confirm if my food had been picked up yet because sometimes the app will show that the driver is there when they have actually already picked up the food and out for delivery but the gentleman that answered the phone sounded agitated and said yes your food has just been prepared and it is ready for delivery. At 7:15PM I get a notification from Uber Eats stating that my order had been canceled and they are searching for the right person to deliver the food. Immediately after receiving that notification I called the restaurant several times and no one answered the phone, I just keep getting a message that says please enter your access code keeping in mind that this is the same number that I called last night and spoke to the gentleman and said that my food has just been prepared and is ready for delivery. The very next day which is today, February the 26th of 2024 at 3:05 PM, I called the exact same number, which is the number that is listed online, and I am still unable to get through to anyone at Denny's to at least let me know why my order was canceled last minute especially when I saw on the mobile app that the delivery driver was actually there at the restaurant just before I had called the first time. I know this is an issue g that I will be expressing to Uber Eats but it's crazy that I can't even get in touch with the restaurant in situations like. My concern also is that once people like me have placed an order and the food has been prepared and then your delivery courier decides to cancel the delivery, what happens to the food? And does the restaurant lose out on the food prepared? It seems to be a no-win situation, and ultimately a waste of food, time and anticipation on getting what you ordered. read more

All good, didn't expect breakfast for 2 would be so pricey. Still fun place to eat would recommend whenever traveling.

Service was slow, ordered a burger and french fries took over 20 minutes to get to the table, burger was dry way overcooked.

Where do i begin? The cashier Makayla, was sweet even though she did repeat my order back to me wrong. She did correct it and stated that she was tired. I understand, because it was around 9 something in the morning we all be still trying to wake up but the cook didn't get my order right SHAKING MY HEAD. It's 2024 the shenanigans aren't called for? Play at home with your family and not with the public when they are paying customers!!!!!!!! read more

My name is Dwayne. I went to a Denny's restaurant yesterday. Service was EXCELLENT. My Host and Waitress was Kerra. She was AMAZING and very Attentive always checking on me. I appreciate that. I ordered the veggie omelette with hash brown and toast. It was ready in about 10 minutes and very delicious. I will definitely come again. The service was GREAT. Especially Kerra. Thanks guys. read more

Come on Denny's in Blacksburg SC. Time to step up your game. The Ultimate Omelet was so greasy I could only eat half of it . My grits were not just cold. But nearly ice cold with a table spoon butter on top. I ordered unbuttered toast and got buttered toast. My waitress said she'd bring me another. But my coffee was okay. and I never got my toast I told the casher about and she gave me a 10% discount Oh yeah I never got my toast.. Come on Dennys ,get it together. read more

Wow! If I wanted a teaspoon of soup I wouldn't have asked for some! Ordered a cup, it was only half full, manager said," that's the correct portion". My skillet had 6 pieces of potato, 3 pieces of broccoli, and I think there was a small piece of bacon in there somewhere. Seriously, when you've been on the road all day and finally have time to eat, it's nice to get what you pay for. Very disappointing... Update: just go in the middle of the night or early morning! Carlee was an amazing hostess and the gentleman chef did a fantastic job. Same skillet but completely transformed! read more

I was seated and approximately 20 minutes later the waitress who had seated guests after me were already taking their orders. I flagged down Savannah who had just gone on shift and let her know I hadn't been assisted. She apologized graciously as I caught glances from the salty bitch who should have been waiting on me. Denny's are hard to come by in Atlanta and while traveling I wanted something that reminded me of home (Denny's is a Los Angeles staple) Don't fuck up my experience. Kayla, do better. read more

Service was good, and food was good and came fast good hospitality will be back !! Goood foood

Food was ok. My server Jessica was very polite and attentive. The restaurant was clean

This particular Denny's was not good at all. One of our orders wasn't put in so my husband didn't get his food until we were already finished eating. The food wasn't cooked properly, the steak was cold, the salad was inedible because the lettuce was so wilted, the tomato's was borderline rotten. However the waitress was very nice and so that's why I gave it 2 stars. She was doing the best she could with what she had to work with. I would not recommend this Denny's with the current staff. The food was horrible. read more

So we got gas at the Flying J on Christmas Day and thought that we'd get a bite to eat before we reached our destination. Big mistake, apparently the restaurant that used to be part of Flying J is gone and Denny's has taken their place. We both ordered breakfast and I ordered my has browns all in for $3.19. The waitress decided that I meant with everything at $2.00 per item. My wife was pissed when she went to pay the bill. What was supposed to be a quick and cheap in and out took nearly an hour and cost almost $40.00. The food was cold. read more

I know this is not fine dining, and it's only a Denny's , but this place is horrible! The management is clearly the biggest problem, and that's aside from the fact that everyone who works here seems to be absolutely incompetent or lazy. We waited one and a half hours for eggs - and never got our food. We ended up leaving after the waitress came over and told us they had "lost our ticket" after we had already waited 1 hour for our order. She said they were going to cook the food right that moment, but after another half hour, we walked out the door. While waiting, I saw the cook eating french fries and food off customers' plates that were sitting under the heat lamps. The busser was sitting down in the booths slowing clearing the tables and was scraping plates of food off into the trash within inches of other diners trying to eat their meal. The Waitresses did not seem to know what they were doing, and they had several other diners get up and walk out. All the while, the general manager named "Caesar" was just walking around. If they were short-staffed in the kitchen, he could have been in the kitchen helping, or helping to take food to tables. I saw him do nothing but walking from one end of the restaurant to the other with nothing in his hands. Clearly he thinks his position is that of an executive, and therefore he doesn't need to get his hands dirty while the place is falling apart and diners are walking out the door. Again, I know this is only a Denny's, but the extremely poor work ethic, incompetence, and obvious health and sanitation issues here is beyond the scope of "good" for any type of food establishment. read more

Don't stop here. I would give negative stars if possible. We were seated, by a rude waitress. Then we waited 15 minutes- no one took our drink order. No one spoke to us. A waitress was standing by the kitchen on the phone another was standing in the kitchen. The table next to us asked about their food and the waitress responded "I don't know, I have been out here (waving to the dining room) with you." Then walked away. After this exchange and waiting for someone to speak to us, our party of 7 just left. read more

Excellent meal. Excellent Super friendly waitress named Dallas Second time at this Denny's never disappointed.

I was so disappointed when I came into my local Flying J because there was no hot pizza or wings but I settled for the Dennys neighby. Although I was not able to get the scrumptious wings and pizza home with me to absolutely demolish, Paige, my favorite cashier still made me leave with a smile on my face due to her hospitality and great spirit. I even committed to naming mg first born after her. Flying Js across the world would be so much better with such a genuine soul as Paige. She is a gem. read more

Rude service waitresses mad dog like if I was her baby daddy and hadn't paid child support whole time she was talking all loud about some keeping someone waiting all I heard her say tell him not to do that again or I'm gonna cut his tires then she sent some other white lady to take our order and no we ain't got no more wings and and at the same time another male waiter walk out side to smoke a jay and he was putting up bags of onion rings and wings in his car as we where walking back to our truck. read more

First of all, for all the people bitching and moaning, what do you expect? Yes, the service is sometimes slow. Yes, sometimes the servers get overwhelmed. Know what? THEY CAN'T GET ANYONE TO WORK! I have eaten here many times. It is hit or miss. Mostly hit. Those workers have to deal with truckers who want to get back on the road, SNOTTY customers who are used to watching "reality" TV about restaurants and non tipping people. That being said, it is a good place to eat. The quality of the food is good. I have had issues with quality in the past and the shift lead corrected it herself. There are "managers" there that do not do a thing but get in the way. That's true. THOSE are the people to report and bitch about. The grunt servers and cooks are the ones on the front line. read more

thought I'd had reviewed this one.. but it turns out I did on Google and TripAdvisor back when I had an account but I got rid of that I don't like being a TripAdvisor. so I will put one up. located in the Flying J near the North Carolina state line on Interstate 85 approximately 40 minutes from Charlotte North Carolina is the Flying J Denny's at Blacksburg South Carolina this is a very heavily trafficked corridor going all the way from Richmond Virginia clear down to Atlanta Georgia where it ends actually at Montgomery Alabama. this Danny stays fairly busy most of the time it's been one of those ones has been touch-and-go and showing signs of improvement though new cook still learning the ropes the service is getting more attentive they're not as an aloof as they used to be..but the smoke comes before the customer that still hasn't changed? that being a lot of times are out having a cig before they come in and seat you even though they know you've come in it's to be expected anymore welcome to the 21st century and some people still are just working for the check and don't really care.. this one got a remodel about a year ago it's got that nice look of a Denny's classic restaurant now with the old school license plates the hardwood floors gone are the scummy carpets.and it did a really nice job of keeping the floors nice and clean what they can do a little more often those wipe down the blinds by the windows he could see that they haven't been done that often but it is what it is. walking in I was promptly seated I actually got a choice I said I need a plug so I could have a thing to plug in my electronics they said find choose whichever you want I was greeted promptly and got coffee and it was nice hot and fresh to begin with that should give me a couple of minutes to slurp some of it down and then I'll go ahead and order up some grub. they had a party going on in the back I could hear Happy birthday singing some elderly senior citizens because this is a Denny's located in a Flying J and originally had a Flying J Restaurant with like a banquet room you can use..so I savored my hot cup of Joe and perused over the menu and decided I'm going to go ahead and do a waffle slam one of my favorites I like the malted waffle mix they use sometimes better than the flapjacks. so my coffee was promptly refilled which was nice and the waffle came out the only difference was I ordered a waffle slam but it's a new cook he did a great job I asked for soft scrambled eggs did a good job the only difference is when you order a full slam you get four pieces of meat.. a value slam get you two pieces of meat of your choice..but that's okay I just happened to mention that I ordered a waffle slam shouldn't I have four sausage links and she's like yeah you should..so they would brought out to me no problem I had my full meal that I like the quality of the food was good the only drawback was apparently the manager didn't realize more people like sugar-free syrup and they ran out... :-(so I had to have the regular sure but it's okay I just prefer sugar-free I've been having so much sugar free stuff for 10 years I've just gotten used to it.. but I'm holding it get three stars because of the fact that the lack of sugar-free syrup and the window sills and stuff could get wiped down in a little more timely manner.. all in all a good 3 * experience what's to be expected but nothing that really rose above or stood out. read more

See all

Hidden inside the gas station, super clean location and courteous staff. The service was extremely quick, we ordered a Club Sandwich that was just filled with meat and avocado, maybe 8in high of sandwich, all ingredients tasted very fresh. We also had scrambled eggs, that came out fluffy and moist even without any cheese, and a side of rice and fruit (which the server cut fresh for our order) that were also excellent! I had a lovely experience! read more

Got my order wrong. Ordered T-bone Steak and Shrimp Dinner. Didn't get the T-bone, waitress punched in the wrong button. Restaurant was no where near full, and I should have known better when my order wasn't even written down. 30 minute break is nearly done and no I don't have time to wait on a Steak that I already ordered in plain English. She even asked me several times how I wanted my Steak done and if I needed A1. Won't be coming back to this place. read more

Denny's - Shrimp was good, but I ordered a Steak that didn't find its way to the table because the waitress punched in the wrong button. - Diners Near Me - Blacksburg, South Carolina

I'm sorry, but this place is worse than most restaurants I've seen on Kitchen Nightmares. I realize you're slow enough to only have 1 waitress and 2 cooks. But when service is that poor, and the food is this bad. No one is going to want to come back. I've worked in restaurants for 4+ years. I feel terrible that my grandmother, who we drove an hour out to see, had to pay 10$ for my meal since the one waiter didn't have the time to stop at our table for more than 10 seconds. Or to ever fix the issue. The avocados on the club sandwich were rock hard. I could barely cut through them with a knife. I felt sick after 3 bites and couldn't eat anymore but she refused to touch my plate until we left. read more

Horrible Place and worst service. Would give this place a minus 5 stars if I could. I came in the early evening and the restaurant was not very busy. I stood at the hostess podium for five minutes and no one approached me while I observed 5 waitresses standing around the corner of the kitchen carrying on a conversation and giggling among themselves. After standing around for 5 minutes without a greeting I decided to approach the party of 5 waitresses and ask them if I can order something or if they were closing? One of the 5 girls sat me and told me my server will be right with me, I waited and was approached by a different server and she took my order. I ordered a steak MR two sides, and a side of pico de Gallo and also an extra egg white omelette. She said they were busy and it might take a while, I replied that was actually good because I needed some time to go back to my car and would return in 15 minutes, She said that's fine. Upon my return in less than 10 minutes my table was cleared and resat with some one else in my booth. I asked the waitress if she wanted me to sit somewhere else, she said that's fine. I went and sat myself at the booth next to my original one. At that time a completely different waitress approached my table with silverware and a menu and asked what I would like to order. I replied: I'm fine thank you, I already ordered. She got mad, walked away and threw the menu on the ground. At that point I cancelled my order and walked out. The place is a complete mess and embarrassment with a side of attitude, Never again. read more
