    My parents love coming here when they come to Charlotte because we don't have one in my home town. I got a simple breakfast with pancakes. Very good!

    It may be dark and  raining cats & dogs but things are bright and dry inside Denny's in Charlotte on Sunset Boulevard.

    It is a long and irrelevant story, how I ended up keeping watch over the wee hours of the night in this diner, like those figures in the "Night Owls" painting, I came here to wait on my rental car reservation to go through and shelter from Hurricane Henrietta. Her super-soaking rain buffeted in waves against the plate glass windows. Huge waves of rain splashed in the tomato & grape glow of the neon lights. Denny's menu has a strong selection of typically American fast casual breakfast & lunch choices for everyone Most are familiar like the popular and filling "Grand Slam Breakfast; the French toast is pretty good too. Maybe I will return another time to sample some of the promotional "Beetlejuice"-themed dishes. The biggest factor that sets this particular Denny's apart from others I recall is its friendly and skilled staff attuned to help customers. I had only planned to be here for an hour or so but I ended up spending several hours quite by happenstance. THESE FOLKS made me feel at home with a mug of pretty good coffee. expertly refilled at just at the right time thanks to Ms. Samria's warm hospitality and near-psychic timing. The busy intersection out in front can be somewhat intimidating late at night but the presence of this Denny's Restaurant settles the score a little in favor comfort and a touch of working-class grace. I see this as quite a turnaround recalling headlines from many years ago in a TIME when Denny's didn't try as hard to make EVERYBODY feel welcome alongside their bacon and eggs. But the company's approach has grown and matured, at least I can't bear witness in THIS spot. And the fine people at work here deserve the credit. I suppose Denny deserves to take a bow alongside Virginia Slim when we say: "You've come a long way baby!" (And YES, this one really is OPEN 24 HOURS a day)

    Been here twice and staff is friendly. Good Service. Usually, come here for breakfast entrees. Today, saw new menu items definitely had to try their new crepes. Ordered the New Banana Chocolate Hazelnut Crepe breakfast. Two plates came-One with a Crepe- Sliced bananas on top right underneath Hazelnut Chocolate. Filling inside the crepe reminds me of pudding. Second plate came with hash browns, two over easy eggs with two sausages. Yelper's checkin for a treat-Pancake Puppies Sundae. On my, 3 hush puppies with strawberries inside (taste like pancake for sure) with a scoop of ice cream. Denny's menu is pretty extensive that's for sure. Will be back again. Very impressed with their new items.

    Tonight this location was short staffed and I mean only the chef and the waitress running the show. Despite the lack of staff,, together they did an amazing job. The chef deserves her own restaurant and the waitress should be promoted to store manager. The awesomeness of these two ladies are astounding because they conquered the night!!

    This place is a no no

    No, never open when posted hours say! Went to the store multiple time and it was closed when hours say they should be opened.

    Food was good but service was horrible! We felt rushed and ignored. The entire time we were there, the manager acted shady and paranoid.

    Review for Waffle House After relocating to Charlotte--and…read morethe Southeast more broadly--from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've made it a point as a local foodie and someone mindful of supporting community businesses to explore regional institutions I may not have experienced before. One of those places was Waffle House, a name I had heard about but never visited until now. A colleague from Atlanta had talked about it often--especially the hash browns--and described the experience as something of a rite of passage in the South. Naturally, my curiosity got the best of me. I finally visited one location, and I have to say, I was genuinely impressed. I ordered steak and eggs with crispy hash browns and pancakes, and everything arrived exactly as requested. The steak was cooked medium rare, the eggs were perfectly done over medium, and the hash browns were beautifully crisp. The food was simple, satisfying, and well executed--classic comfort food done right. What really stood out, though, was the experience at the counter. Sitting there and watching the cook prepare meals in such a compact space for a restaurant that seats dozens of people felt like live theater. The kitchen is completely visible, and the level of coordination, timing, and organization was impressive. It honestly felt like watching a well-rehearsed symphony. The staff worked efficiently, kept everything clean and orderly, and handled the flow of orders with professionalism. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that the food is prepared fresh--real eggs, cooked to order--and not from frozen or powdered shortcuts. That attention to basics goes a long way. Other highlights: * Friendly, attentive staff * Easy parking and convenient access * Great value for the quality and portion size * A uniquely open kitchen experience you rarely get to see I left a generous tip because the service and execution deserved it, and I walked away with a completely new appreciation for this iconic Southern institution. My earlier assumptions about Waffle House were definitely corrected. I imagine weekends can get busy, so I personally prefer visiting during quieter, off-peak hours when you can enjoy the meal and observe the rhythm of the kitchen without the rush. Bottom line: If you're new to the South or simply curious, visiting a Waffle House really is a rite of passage. Be open-minded, sit at the counter, watch the magic happen, and enjoy a solid, satisfying meal. You just might be pleasantly surprised--like I was.

    Came here on a Sunday morning, place was pretty busy, good crowd using the jukebox inside. Our…read morewaiter took the order from the kitchen and food came out relatively fast, around 20 min. There were four of us, I got the Cheesesteak Bowl and a side waffle. The waffle itself was hit or miss, mien was kinda falling apart but was still good. My friends waffle was together. The cheesesteak bowl was nice, the onions were good, the meat to hash browns ratio was like 1:3, there could be more cheese added to it. First time eating at a Waffle House, and it was pretty good, solid breakfast option

    A solid brunch place!…read more Stopped in on a drive through Charlotte, looking for a filling and nutritious meal rather than fast food. I think I ordered the elevated egg sandwich, and remember it being good, the egg being well prepared. I did feel the prices were a little high. But it was bustling midday on a Saturday, and I felt lucky to get a table! The menu is extensive and it's clearly popular for a reason!

    This is usually a GOOD First Watch, but unfortunately this time we experienced some issues…read more We walked up at about 10:00AM to come get some breakfast on a Sunday morning, but realized there was a 40min wait. We decided to wait it out, but we ended up waiting longer than 40mins. I know that the employees can't control when customers get done with their food, but for a good 15 minutes about 5 tables sat vacant while dirty, as they could have cleaned those tables and got the waiting parties seated. Me and my grandmother both love the lemon ricotta pancakes. No matter what day or time it is, they always hit the spot. You can tell that they are made from scratch, as they are not rubbery. The thought of ricotta in a pancake can turn some people away, but all it really does is adds delicacy (makes the pancake tender (if that makes sense)). They usually have soft scrambled eggs, but today they were a bit more of a hard scramble and had trouble cutting a bite with a fork. The bacon this time was so hard that it wouldn't really bend like normal bacon would. I would have rather waited a couple more minutes for some better bacon. They do have a drink called the "Pineapple Express" that is always good. I can't really describe the flavor, but I recommend you try it. You'll have to taste for yourself! As a summary, this First Watch is usually great, but this time it was a miss. I wish that they would be more consistent with the quality of the food AND the service, as some servers act like they don't want to be there while others are great.

If you don't know what they are and want to know, look it up. Anyway - after picking up the rental car, first stop was for food here at Sunflower Family Restaurant. Parking here was tight. Place was hopping and the lot was full. I was lucky to pull in as someone was walking to their car so I was in. Just grateful for cameras on the car as the lot is tight and the spaces are narrow. At least it's free. Walked in and there's a line - all were waiting for take out so we were able to bypass them all and was seated right away. Good thing too as the place was just packed. Not an empty table when I went to the restroom or when we were leaving. Service was great. Team effort. Several different team members provided service. From taking your order to refills as follow up and general questions. They were busy but still took time to make sure everyone was taken care of. I say that not that I was in a big party - I meant other tables too. And the food was nice, simple and good. See pics. I wanted the meat gravy I hadn't had in a long time. Then some protein and grits of course. I cleared the plate but couldn't polish off the grits. I was so full on the sweetened ice team that there was no room for anything else. Even the tea hits different in the south, compared to California. Not saying this is the best food you'll ever have but it'll definitely be decent comfort food. Inexpensive and simple.
