This is probably one of the better Denny's I've been to. First time coming here, definitely won't be my last. Came in here at 2am, our waiter did take a couple minutes after sitting down to get drinks. I started off with a strawberry shake, one of the best I've ever had at a Denny's, tasted fresh. Our food came out about 10 minutes later. I ordered two (2) English Muffins, a side of Hash Browns and sausage. No complaints there. The only downfall to it was instead of being charged for the build your own grandslam, I was charged for everything ala carte, luckily I noticed and it was fixed. Also don't plan on using the bathrooms, all three of the toilets in the ladies room were clogged and dirty. read more

Horrible service 1h:35 minute wait with only 3 small families in the restaurant

This dennys is TERRIBLE! i waited an hour to be seated with 4 other people. We never got seated needless to say and every party that came in after us was seated promptly. After checking in to see if we would eventually be seated (several times) within that hour we were told they must have looked over us and we could be seated in 20 minutes...we went and got groceries and just made our own dennys. That was ridiculous and as a result i highly doubt ill be back here. read more

I haven't been to Denny's in quite a while until I moved right around the corner from this location. I am super pleased with the food and the service. The service is fast and the waitress we had was super friendly. She mad sure that all of our needs were met. I ordered the all you can eat pancakes for $4 and some change and an orange juice. The pancakes were thick and fluffy and tasted delicious. Unfortunately I could only eat through one order because they were so big but still $4 is a great deal for just one order. My boyfriend and I also split an order of loaded tater tots and they were very yummy. I will definitely be frequenting this location. read more

Ordered 4 burgers and a milkshake and the two slamburgers had no burger patties and there was no milkshake...then the girl said we were lying because she packed them herself and that the manager wouldn't help us even if she did get them. I mean good on her for hanging up and not giving a f*ck bc it's literally just Denny's lol but it would have been cool to eat our food too. read more

I use to love Dennys as a kid & so did my family & a teen,but when they started changing up things the food & service is terrible but we went today to see if it got better over time & it only got worse the waitresses acted like they didn't want to seat us they just kept walking past us & now I wish we just walked out but eventually we did get seated,but the drinks were good as I ordered a peach lemonade & my grandmother ordered a lemonade but when the food got here but it was a kinda long wait like usual but the food was a salad for my grandmother & the dressing looked like someone liquefied their poop & flavored it cause I never seen dark brown salad dressing but to move on,I ordered a bourbon bacon burger with fries & I told the waitress I didn't want tomatoes & mushrooms & pickles on it but I still received it with tomatoes & pickles on it but the tomato was in half & with one pickle as if they tried to hide it like they were slick or thought they were funny but I was annoyed but just took it off but my grandmother's stomach was upset with the salad that it was beyond nasty but Dennys menu is way smaller then I remember,looks like somewhere you'd just go for breakfast but I wouldn't even trust them with breakfast but Dennys was empty & barely any people inside & now I can see why but like always looking nice inside with great ambiance & lighting looking like a good diner but just a shadow of what Dennys use to be read more

It's a real treat when a spur of the moment casual family dinner for a pair of 90-plus elders, two college-age voracious eaters, and three hard-working parents leaves each of us with a very pleasant dining experience. A very sweet, attentive waitress, who was well-versed in some new menu items, led 5 of us to try the bourbon chicken and vegetable skillet, which was excellent. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the array of fresh vegetables provided a delicious healthy option. The burger was nicely prepared on a very fresh soft seeded roll and served with a nice side serving of ranch fries . An over-flowing plate of breakfast foods was quite pleasing for another 20-something year old who couldn't finish all that was put in front of him. The sirloin steak (who knew Denny's offered steak in its menu?), was equally perfectly-prepared and accented with a bowl of creamy cheesy mac 'n cheese! Nice to have a serendipitous dining experience at our neighborhood Denny's, with plenty of leftovers to enjoy tomorrow! read more

Not finer dining, but the servers are friendly, accommodating and efficient. One is never pressured to eat and run. read more

Another Grand Slam day. Today I tried the Super Slam two pancakes, two eggs, two sausage links, two rashers of bacon with hash browns. Typical Dennys fare nothing great but nothing was terrible. There was an option to upgrade the pancakes to pumpkin spice. It was an option I didn't try, the "run of the mill" pancakes were very good. Service was fine as it usually is but this is the location I go to for the last thirty years. However not that frequently and hardly ever for any meal besides breakfast. Familiar faces and food. read more

If you've been to one Denny's, you've been to em all. Our waitress, though very pregnant, was very nice. This location had slightly dirty floors, but not terrible. Food took a little longer than expected. Still, took advantage of those delicious Oreo milkshakes. My girlfriend really loved her cinnamon bun pancakes. Definitely a solid spot for a cheap breakfast that is relatively quick. No big red flags at the location, so I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Denny's - Cinnamon bun pancakes - Diners Near Me - Buffalo, New York

PAT is making this a horrible horrendous breakfast visit. She is extremely rude and unwilling to do her job correctly and accommodate us. She came to the table with three filthy glasses of ice water. She never introduced herself we had to ask her for her name in passing. When I asked for three new glasses of water because these glasses are really dirty, I was told. given an evil stare and a sigh then told she can give me plastic Cups. I said no that isn't necessary I'd just appreciate it if you can Make sure they're clean please. She rolled her eyes and said with a nasty attitude that the glasses are all banged up because of use that's just how they look. I said no theses are actually dirty. She looked at me rolled her eyes and walked away. She came back several minutes later with three new waters. No the glasses weren't clean! They just weren't as dirty. A simple wiping out the glasses would have safficed. Once she brought our food out mine was cold. Hilarious. I had a strawberry creme crepe. I didn't like it. I asked to Change my meal to banana creme pancakes she said I couldnt do that. Then proclaimed that she couldn't do it because it's already rang in. I said I'm just changing the entire meal form one to the other. She started walking off and said she'd get her manager and he can do it. He came about ten minutes later. It appeared to us that she said something to make him be less than pleasant. The moral is I'm totally unhappy with today's visit and PAT ( who appears to be in her 50s) was nice nasty and rude. read more

Group of 3 traveling through Buffalo. Stopped for lunch after 1 p.m. Restaurant wasn't very busy so there was no wait for a table. Waitress had no issue with splitting our checks and it was easy to pay, even with AARP and military discounts added after (for different checks). Ordered the Holiday Turkey Melt (seasonal item) and a slice of pecan pie. Waitress got drink refills and brought food without a long wait. Everything was delicious and the restaurant was clean. Staff were attentive and friendly. Would definitely visit again! read more

bad service DONT EAT HERE!!!! the floor was sticky and oily the manager will yell at you when your just simply tryna tell them what's wrong they took my order wrong twice they went to the back and started laughing when my order was wrong they took long to bring order out when the restaurant was empty the table was dirty . read more

Denny's gets a star each for the following reasons: 1) The Service - for a chain with mostly awful food and subpar ambiance they usually have excellent service. Fun, laid back servers who are attentive, friendly and really try hard to make you happy. The wait staff prepare or put the final touches on a lot of stuff and will usually hook you up if you are nice. 2) The Nostalgia - maybe it is just me, but this was THE place when I was in college for late night binging. 3 in the morning and between us we crave a burger, ice cream sundae, breakfast food and chicken fingers? Who is ever is still sober, and lucky enough to have a car (read: not me), is driving us to Denny's! Cheap, fast, close. Every time I'm in here I see big tables of college kids (even artsy fartsy I-don't-like-anything-corporate types, which I can occasionally be, tehe) pigging out whilst laughing it up and it takes me back. That aside, their food is CRAP. The best items on the menu are just okay, but a lot of it is worse than pre-packaged meals you can make at home. Their eggs are usually NOT eggs, their soup is vile and always clearly on the warmer for too long, everything comes out of a bag, box, can, etc...I've even had bad chicken fingers here, which are very hard to screw up. On the plus side if you are craving something cheap and terrible for you their huge brownie sundae is like $2 and for pre-packaged brownie it will due at 3am. Their moons over my hammie (no joke, it's called that) sandwich is decent and incredibly bad for you, but only if you get a cook who manages to get it right where it's not just soggy bread filled with a sopping mess of grease. If you must go to a chain Tully's does it 100x better for not much more cash, they make a lot of things in house and they are open fairly late (11ish or midnight methinks). Or try a non-chain 24 hour place - The Royal, Olympic, etc. that have more food consistency and better taken care of facilities. read more

They are NOT OPEN 24HRS anymore. Every night that i drive there, they are closed. Also, it smells like urine in there. The food is generally ok, coffee is meh. Wait staff is hit or miss. Too bad there aren't more 24hr options around here read more

Had to come here because only place that worked - long story - people with allergies, 3:00pm and the good places btwn lunch and dinner. Ordered something hard to f@"k up - fish n chips. Quite simply, just awful. Fries - how could these be so bad? Frozen fries, pop in fryer . But even though I got a fresh batch they were mealy, reconstituted & totally artificial. The veg soft & soggy. Had to send "lemonade" and "ice tea" back. Fish relatively tasteless so at least inoffensive - until after "meal" more or less over and the tummy stated hurting. Our bodies want real food, not some chemically produced fried amalgamation. Kids who work here really sweet, but food nasty. Bathroom not too clean either. Don't compromise and think it's ok to eat here cause it's diner food -- this place sucks. A diner would have been far superior. read more

I have been to Denny's a lot lately and it never gets old by far one of the best Denny's in Buffalo is the one on Delaware Ave. they have a nice quiet environment any time of the day and pleasant servers little to no wait time and the food selection screams all American I suggest getting one of their famous breakfast slams # read more

my son and I went to Denny's on Genesee St Cheektowaga. Arrived at 4:50. Placed our drink order with a waiter that whispered. Then placed our food order. Me a senior dinner my son just wanted a dessert . After a half hour no food I said I wonder what's taking so long. Manager said he forgot to place our order. He then took it and placed it. When the manager brought out my food only it was completely wrong!!!! After being there one hour and ten minutes we walked out. Never will go to that one again!!!! read more

If you go to Denny's expecting good food, well, I feel bad for you. You have to go in knowing what you are going to get. I paid $7 and got 4 pieces of toast, two pancakes, and hash browns. The toast was not really that good but the pancakes and hash browns were so I can't complain!!! My meal in total was $7! The servers were friendly and I was surprised as we dined here Christmas morning. I would definitely come back. read more

Very nice and clean. Love the new upgrade they did inside the building. Food was good and service was friendly. I had the lumberjack slam. Great choice read more

Steak, pancakes, chicken fingers, milkshakes, omelets and burgers available all day and all night for next to nothing? In a drinking town known for it's fried delicacies and a love for sports, this is sheer brilliance. Let me preface my review with this: if you're looking for five star cuisine in a classy establishment to celebrate your anniversary in...keep looking. However, if you're looking for a place to satisfy any edible craving you could possibly fathom that'll be easy on the wallet...look no further. Denny's will always hold a place in my heart for that purpose alone. Awesome breakfast...aways. They usually have unusual promo pancakes that rock. I've had Hawaiian, strawberry cheesecake and blueberry muffin inspired pancakes that were all pretty damn good. Eggs done however you please. My favourite is their veggie cheese omelet, loaded with sauteed peppers and onions, mushrooms, spinach and cheddar cheese. Sourdough toast with extra butter and hashbrowns on the well done side, please. Also, could you throw some jalapeños in their instead of tomato? Thanks. They always come out looking picturesque, not sure how. Kudos to their line cooks. Their strawberry cheesecake milkshakes are fantastic, made with real chunks of cheesecake. They also recently started to offer different kinds of coffee, including hazelnut and vanilla. And the cups are bottomless? Sweet. Never a bad meal. Would I order a seafood entrée? Probably not. Would I order an array of breakfast fare? Absolutely. Thanks for being there at 2AM when I have a hankering for pancakes and eggs, Denny. You're the man, baby! read more

I ordered take out from there . Well my daughter bit into the chicken and it was raw. When I called to say something I got hung up on. I would give 0 stars if I could . read more

Is what it is kind of place. I don't really understand the point of coming to a Denny's and excepting the same quality as you would at a 4 or 5 star restaurant. For this location I can say the food is hit or miss and the only reason being is sometimes it could be cold and you can tell it's been sitting in the window for a minute. Other then that the service has always been friendly at different hours of the day and it's cheap. I come here for those reasons not expecting to be treated like a god. read more

Denny's - Cali Turkey Club. - Diners Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I used to LOVE Denny's. As a vegetarian they've always had many options for me. This Buffalo Dennys has gone downhill in the past few years. My husband and I went in for a late lunch today around 230. There were 2 employees at the cash register carrying on a personal conversation while taking a customers payment. After the customer left were still standing there waiting to even be acknowledged while these two were going on and on. My husband and kept looking at each other dumbfounded like is this really happening. After several minutes the guy got around to seating us and the girl ended up waiting on us I ordered a veggie burger and pancake bites for an appetizer. They were amazing, However, while we were eating them us snd everyone else in the dining room could hear some emplyee in the kitchen, not out server, giving a blow by blow of her giving birth. I think she said her water broke and it was like "Niagara Falls". Not something you want to picture while eating . Then our food came, a real meat hamburger. I put it at the edge of table assuming she would see it and check on us so i could get it fixed. She kept walking right by us. After my husband finished eating she came by and i said i dont eat meat, i wanted a veggie burger but its ok, can we just get the check. She stood there staring at the food and then me like she didn't understand what i was saying. Instead of just saying. Im sorry can i get you something else she told me thats not what i ordered. I went to the bathroom, i could hear her at the register complaining about us, and apparently them went and argued about what i ordered or didn't order with him. Someone needs to teach these employees that this is not their, I seriously felt like I was invading someone personal area and inconveniencing them. The front of house employees were messy and unkempt. Food is usually great though and my husband loved what he had. Their employees are ruining the place though read more

Not really open 24 hours. Showed up at 6am and they said they arent open yet even though it says 24 hours right on the door. Terrible atmosphere. I had a hayday listening to ridiculously loud conversations from across the room. Toxic staff. I dont care about your problems with working at dennys, so dont make it a point to let everybody know your unhappy working there. Id be too. read more

I was definitely sleeping on Denny's. This is a place where you find one thing you like and you order it every time you go. Don't change anything, don't pass go, don't collect $200. I personally order the cinnamon roll pancakes, cracked on the grill eggs (real eggs) with American cheese, hash browns extra crispy, bacon extra crispy. Comes out perfect every time. I leave full and happy. read more

"Open till 2am" and got denied food at 1:21am with people sitting inside. Complete disrespect.

We should have walked out when we're being sat in a section that smelled like urine. But we just asked to be moved to a different section. Looking around, the place was a mess. The floor hasn't been swept all day. It was about 4:45pm when we went in. When we finally got a server, we were taken aback because they had headphones in. Who waits tables with actual headphones. With the cord and all. Anyway, we ordered our drinks apps and food all at once. Took a while to get our drinks. When our server brought them over there was a big fat black hair stuck to the side of the kids cup. I don't know if this was the servers first day, or what was going on, but they were not at all good at customer service. Appetizers came out separately without side plates. Food came out immediately following out 2nd appetizer. Our food came out in pieces and no one ate together. Made a whole meal completely wrong. Couldn't even eat my skillet with the amount of oil on it. Server comped my skillet. Dropped the check when we were t even halfway done with our food. No 2 minute/ 2 bite check back. No refills offered. No Togo boxes. No offer to speak to a manager. Just no personality at all, whatsoever. Looked around for a manager for a while hoping to catch someone to speak to. Never seen one. $80 on food (with my food comped) that was awful and worse service? Nope. I won't be back. read more

I admit it, I enjoy going to Denny's even though most people I know scoff when I suggest it. I'm a pancake fan and theirs are usually quite a lot better than most of the ones the diners offer in this area. This time a friend and I went for burgers and it was an off night. We waited longer than expected for our food and the fries were barely warm. There were also plenty of families with loud babies and toddlers that stressed the experience. I will still go to Denny's in the future but I doubt the same guest will be willing. read more

We come to this location literally almost every other week if not every week as college students. Today my friend bit into his burger only to find a hair coming out of it. While the employees were extremely understanding and apologetic about it, the manager was neither apologetic nor empathetic. He literally made it seem like we were making it up as if we can't afford to pay for the food. His attitude towards the employees seemed extremely disrespectful as well. He really should not be a manager if he has no customer service skills and cannot speak to his employees properly. read more

I have never had such a horrible dining experience in my as I have had here tonight life to start off with the fat rimmed coffee mugs that make it impossible to drink to the point that it spilled on my lap and sweatshirt and turned me into a sticky mess the apple crisp was borderline inedible. I haven't had apples that burnt since my grandmother with stage four Alzheimer's disease tried baking an apple pie. The service at the establishment is sub par at best the waitress that helped me was grossly incompetent and gross looking perhaps they would benefit from hiring waitresses with ample bosom and or a generous posterior, at least if they had a fine price of ass working there it would distract me while I eat their instant diarrhea I would seriously recommend you never eat at this Denny's Unless you want to have to wipe your asshole til it bleeds from all the shits you'll be taking read more

Food was tasty. Eggs cold. All else was great. Our waitress was awesome. Manager had to yell at cooks and busboys. Neat clean place. Waitress was hard working. read more

I sat at the table for 20 minutes without service before I walked out..the host didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in the door. "Short staffed" can't be an excuse. Another table was also waiting awhile before she asked a waitress when someone's gonna come to her table and she said "someone will" yeah okay. Maybe next shift. The food is always good here but the service needs a reboot. read more

We brought a very large group in for breakfast (over 30 Of us!) and the staff were welcoming and accommodating. Mark the manager was overly patient and pleasant as was our server! Great staff at this location! read more

Came late last night for a small bite to eat. Our waitress was super nice and the food came out quickly. Really wanted to try the blueberry cheesecake milkshake but she said they where out :( however she did make me a strawberry milkshake and then another entire glass for free cuz she felt bad lol. Maybe it was I was crying on the floor and started to throw things across the dining room. The only odd thing I noticed is that at this location they close early on fri and sat and only allow food to be picked up. It's Denny's ... Where are the 4 am drunkies gunna go?!? Found that strange. read more

The food was great the young lady that serve us was awesome waitresses very polite and generous vianca was her name we need more people's person like her to serve us that's why gave you a 5 start with her service I will come back read more

If I were to rate this in comparison to other Denny's it would have a higher score. But alas, this place has to compete with the other late night eats and breakfast joints that are all over Hertel and Delaware. In that regard this is a fine place to go as a last resort because it's absolutely true to being a Denny's. The usual menu fare and it's clean. I've never had a problem with the service, and I've gone early morning and at night. If you're looking for a safe bet, this is the place, but there are much more established, tastier fare if you're feeling more adventurous. read more

It's true. Every time you go to a Denny's they have a waitress named Connie. That is absolutely the best thing about Denny's.
