My experience at Denny's number 7753 was the worst experience I've had in a restaurant in a decade. The restaurant was filthy, the food, including the appetizer, took nearly an hour to reach the table, and we were only informed of the missing items that would not be on our order as it was coming to the table. The waitress clearly has no concept of how to serve, and the food we received was mediocre at best. We had to ask for the rest of your order after the majority of it reached the table, and the chicken Alfredo was clearly just hunks of chicken with queso poured on top. In addition, we had chosen to go on a kids eat free night. Rather than the kids eating free, we were charged the full amount and given cash back instead. The cashback did not cover the sales tax I was charged, and I had to explain to the people behind the counter what portions should have been taken off, as there had been items missing from our order. Frankly, we would've chosen a different place to eat on being charged the full amount alone, as I wasn't prepared for that charge on my account. Advertising a promotion of free or discounted meals and instead providing cashback is dishonest and misleading. However, with that said, had we known the state of the restaurant or the state of the food, it wouldn't have been worth any deal to eat there. Zero stars. Don't waste or time or money. read more

Waiter was extremely friendly and accommodating as possible. The wait time was horrendous. If you're use to typical Denny's service don't come here. Oh, they also never brought my fruit bowl, didn't have time to wait. read more

Convenient location for my breakfast this morning. Love the diner feel of the place. Food was over cooked. Had my eggs over hard and there was a skin on the outside that the fork would not penetrate. So they need softer eggs or sharper forks. Also there was a spider in his web right next to my table. I tried to get a good picture of jimmy but came out blurry. Look in the D for Denny's. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I have eaten here several times over the past seven years and will continue to eat here. All the times I have eaten here, it has been at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have always went with a group and they accommodated us. There's enough room to dine with a descent size group. The food has always been good and my order has always been accurate. I highly recommend anyone to eat here. read more

They said they no longer take orders over the phone, which I know to be factually untrue. I called 20 times before I was finally able to get someone to answer the phone, just to be told they don't take phone orders anymore! Bogus shit!! read more

There was a roach walking around next to my table usually like this Denny's, but couldn't eat after seeing a roach of that size so close to my food. read more

This place was horrible dishes dirty food wrong twice service slow it was absolutely terrible

This place is absolutely filthy inside. Food stuck to the shades and the windows floors cracked all over the place. The ac is so loud it rattled my plate. Lol This restaurant looks like it hasn't been cleaned since last year. I will never eat here again. The back of the booths are d with drip marks and stains. This place should be condemned. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like. read more

Denny's - Booths and seating areas - Diners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Group of five, was slow. Waiter was very thorough. I think we kinda messed up his flow. We sat at a booth but it was too small for us and he seated us at a corner booth and it was not cleaned off so he had to clean it and get out drinks, did a lot of running at first. Just seemed a little flustered but he was super nice. I ordered the wild west omelette. Wife had grand slam, youngest appetizer sampler. Food was great. Service seemed again a little flustered. Will be back to try other menu items. read more

I've never had any issues at this Denny's. The food has always been tasty, hot, and fresh. The staff has always been friendly and on point, and the restaurant has always been clean. Tables get bussed quickly, and patrons get sat just as fast. My husband and I recently went and noticed a lot of things that were off and atypical for our normal experience. The tables were messy, floor was messy, people were standing and waiting for a table despite there been empty tables galore. It took us a while to figure it out, but the restaurant was chronically understaffed. Staffing is depend upon the sales for that day the year prior, and they had only been anticipating about $1,000 in sales. They had two cooks, a manager, a waitress, and bus boy. Despite all of this, everyone was in a great mood. The waitress was hustling keeping everyone up to date on their orders and drinks full. One of the cooks was on the floor helping her, and the manager was helping out the second cook and pitching in wherever else he was needed. The bus boy was out cleaning tables in between helping the cook and the waitress. The team here has definitely earned my admiration, because in a tough time they buckled down and handled business with a smile rather than letting everything fall apart. read more

If I could give this place negative stars it would be -10. When the wait staff is to busy complaining about other staff members to come to your table that's an indication that it's going to be a bumpy ride. When the waitress finally blessed us with her presence let's call her "Flo"she was distracted and not engaging at all. I tried my best to be up beat and engaging. We ordered an app and two entree's. Twenty minutes later I noticed what looked like our order sitting under the heat lamp, I finally asked another staff member if they could bring the plates that I see under the heat lamp her response was I'll find your server. Some ten minutes later our server shows up reeking like cigarettes and asking what we needed. I explained I'm pretty sure that is our order under the heat lamp her response was "Oh let me check" and proceeded to go to another table and take their order. A few minutes later Flo showed up at our table with the plates that were under the heat lamp. I tried to enjoy my plate but couldn't get over the fact it had been setting under the heat lamp for at least twenty minutes. She came back seconds later and asked if everything was ok. My son said you forgot the appetizer Her smart ass response was "No I didn't, you never ordered them" That was it I went to to the cashier asked for check saw it was 19.32 and guess what was on bill, yup the appetizer. I threw a ten dollar bill and said ask Flo to make up the difference. A manager walked out to the parking lot and asked what read more

Meh...It's Denny's... Overcooked or undercooked food, overworked underpaid cranky waitresses, manager sitting around doing nothing. But, it is open 24 hours and sometimes nothing will do but a greasy giant bacon cheeseburger with hashbrowns at 4:00A.M. and this fits the bill when no one else can.... read more

While we were traveling through Columbia, we decided to stop in and grab a quick bite to eat. The super, nice staff provided excellent service. Our food was delicious and fresh! Will definitely revisit again!!! read more

Denny's - Juicy Bacon Cheeseburger (custom ordered)with Crispy Fries....had me like....oh my wow! - Diners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Food is as expected for a Denny's. It's meh, but does the job when it's late and you're hungry. The diner could use a good deep clean, from top to bottom. The two waitresses were friendly and since they were not busy, the food came out quickly. The cinnamon roll pancakes were okay, had higher expectations for them. read more

I had such a great experience at this Denny's. My boyfriend and I and our friends came here after a bowling double date and we're hungry so we decided to stop by here for an 11pm dinner (ha). All of the servers were so friendly, accommodating, and sweet! I even felt bad because we were our server's last table of the night but she did not rush us at all and always gave us a smile. Our food was delicious and hot as well. It made for the perfect end to our night. :) read more

The manager at this Denny's needs to reevaluate some of the waitresses. First our waitress said she wasnt feeling well. First rule of food service. If you think your sick, don't handle food. So we we're passed off to another waitress. It took 20 min since ordering to see our new waitress. When food came, guess what, my burger had caramelized onions which I specifically said no onions. We ordered two pancakes for my daughter and got two orders of pancakes. Really what 50 lbs little girl can eat 4 pancakes. This place is not what Denny's is about. read more

Had a great breakfast here this morning. I had the Grand Slamwich which was delicious with the side of hash browns. It was a little busy, even at 8am, but was still enjoyable. Sat next to some obnoxious people and their loud children, but the establishment isn't responsible for the raising of other peoples' children, or the lack there of. Our waitress Loretta surprised us when she brought our food. I received my sandwich, but my mother got everything but her waffle. The waitress kindly told us that when our food was finished, she didn't like how the waffle looked and said "If I wouldn't cook it in my house, I won't give it to you here." That really impressed us, and good enough, we received the perfect waffle the second go around 5 minutes later. The standard she held for our food really made the difference today. read more

Denny's - Grand Slamwich: eggs, sausage, ham and cheese on toasted bread with delicious hashbrowns - Diners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Our server literally never refilled our drinks. Within minutes of finishing our food, he takes our plates, then walks by and loudly says "Yepppp. Once this table is gone I can go home. All my other tables are all clean. Just this last one." Then takes every tiny scrap of trash off our table and starts to wipe it down while we are still there. He literally rushed us out and never offered us more drinks or dessert or anything. When I come to Denny's at 12am or later my favorite thing is to sit and chat and just enjoy the moment, and we definitely did not get to do that here. read more

Great for breakfast. Really like their skillet breakfast. Always good service and fair prices. read more

I ordered on Postmates and didn't receive half of my order, I called the store and their customer service was trash, the food was cold, the chips were stale. I do not recommend at all. read more

Don't waste your time, service is mediocre at best and very dirty. The floor tile is falling apart and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. When we were seated the table was sticky, we asked the waitress if we could get a rag to wipe it up and it seemed to annoy her. The food was subpar and cold when we finally got it. Don't waste your time or money, there are plenty of other places in Lexington to eat for breakfast/lunch. read more

omgggosh the absolute besttttttt customer services everrrrrrr!!! mrs. marlene went above and beyond!!! she was exceptional!!! she has definitely risen the bar for servers!!!!! god bless you mrs. marlene may you continue to shine like the star you are!!!! :))))))) thank you soooooo much again for everything!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox read more

I was really looking forward to enjoying some really good food at Denny's this morning. Sat down our waitress Jessica took our order waited about 20min for the food when she delivered the food to the table my wife was missing her pancakes and by the time I was going to ask for something else she had already turned the corner and left. Then she came back and I had ask for what I needed and now I'm still waiting on a refil for my orange juice and waited on her to get me a refil or even ask and she came back with my check. And this time I was very upset because I wanted another orange juice. So my wife ask her for another drink or refil and Jessica told her there's a charge for the orange juice and she told her to get me a water. So I go up to pay and the employees are arguing over sitting people unprofessional and bad experience at this location. I don't know if I will be back read more

This is a very nice retro Denny's dinner! The decor is great lots of neon and nice bar stools! Old music playing! It was a great Denny's experience! Good food and staff! I highly reccomend this Denny's! read more

My special host, Tim, always make me feel special. Food is good, but the service makes me keep coming back.

We stopped today on trip thru and it was fAntastic. The bourbon glazed chicken skillet and the sizzlin Parmesan Chicken skillet with Brussels sprouts was superb. Mariah is great waitress too read more

Bland! I know salt is expensive, but if I pay 13.00 for an omelet, some anemic hashbrowns, and a few soggy pieces of toast please at least season it. I am still trying to figure out how you get pasty white, yet fully cooked hashbrowns. read more

The food in this place is AWFUL. I had the breakfast, the eggs & grits were ok but the sausage & bacon were so over-cooked I could not eat them. And when I asked the waitress to take them back she did with no problem but when I got new plate, it was same over-cooked stuff; it was like eating beef jerky. If you have dentures, beware. YUCK & YUCK read more

Absolutely disgusting, flies everywhere and the disgusting environment, the servers are friendly and the food is nicely prepared but the amount of bugs flying around and landing on peoples food is completely unacceptable. read more

Wife and I in for breakfast about 10am. Have gone there for years. Both of us now with runs and gurgling stomachs. No proof but I suspect dirty dishes and cups the cause since we had different meals. Seems all staff was in a rush read more

Eh... Stopped by for breakfast the other morning because I've always enjoyed the diner-style exterior and wanted to see what it was like inside. Got the 'make your own slam' with eggs, sausage links, hashbrowns and english muffins. The eggs were pretty bland, even after I salt & peppered them. The sausage was ok, but the hashbrowns were dried out and hard, yet tasted greasy... I couldn't even eat them. The muffin, however, was really good. read more

Great restaurant, food, and service. Rami, the manager is like a member of the family, and makes you feel at home every visit. They customize your order if you ask. Try the dark roast, its the best. read more

My favorite Denny's in Columbia ! My favorite to eat is the chicken bacon avocado salad! But I just fell in love with the loaded chicken and potato skillet! Open 24hrs so it's the perfect place for the late night munchies but bring a sweater it can get pretty cold. Only think I would improve on is how long they take bringing the food, also, the blinds and window boards can use a good scrubbing. Other than those few things, I love Denny's! Also, if your taking out, call about 15 mins ahead! They tend to take a few mins. read more

Great service. I actually prefer to cone to this one which is so much further away from where I live. It I'd always clean, service is great, and food is delicious. It has an old diner type feel to it. Very accommodating. My father is in a wheelchair and they always have a great place for us to sit that isn't in anyones way. read more

Love the variety of food, atmosphere, & staff is always friendly. Always my go to for Saturday morning breakfast!

Great service!! Server was very friendly and helpful and the food came out in a timely manner just the way we ordered it.

Servers are nice, but food doesn't taste very good. Food is also a terrible quality. The beef I got on two separate occasions tasted and felt like old cat food. They are also very overpriced. read more

The food was ok, but the service was great! Sharisa was just a bundle of joy with smiles!

I hate having to post this but I must say after today I will never eat at this location again. First off I have ate at this location for years and I mean years off and on. They have always been great and accommodating until the last three times we were there. All within this last year. Overcharging for substitutions. Not getting things we ordered etc. However today was the last straw. While there having a quick lunch with some friends, once we were done with lunch, we noticed German cockroaches in the dining area. Due to my weak stomach I lost my lunch. When we went to the bathroom it was smelly and dirty. Maybe today was an off day but if I want Denny's I will stick to the ones at the other locations. read more

Patience - that's what I always go in with. If you choose to go in with calm and understanding that you aren't the only one in the room, and choose to sit and enjoy your time, then it will be okay. You will get your food. They push through the chaos. I like it here - they do just fine. read more
