Denny's business model is fairly consistent with every store. The service and meals are normally pretty good. This location is terrible!!!!! First of all the service is awful. Where is everyone? It takes forever for someone to take your order and takes forever for customers to receive their meal. The interior is dingy and dirty. Very very GHETTO!!!! Maybe it's the location. That area seems to be very seedy. How do you go wrong with eggs, bacon, and pancakes? Well, this place can't seem to get it right. This location needs a total overhall. All failures come down to management. If Denny's want to salvage this location, then hire a real manager, hire real cooks, and hire real servers with very clearly defined expectations with regards to performance. If they can't meet those expectations, then fire them. No plans for ever going back there. read more

Not many food choices around these hotels so went with Denny's. Which we all know of course. Trying to eat a bit healthier so I got the Garlic Peppercorn sirloin with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Wasn't sure about ordering a steak at Denny's... but it was actually pretty good! The garlic peppercorn butter made it. But that's not the reason I'm writing the review. My waitress, Deray, was wonderful and I wanted to give her a review. She was incredibly nice to me, didn't keep me waiting at all, and was very pleasant overall. Easily best service I have ever gotten at Denny's. So thank you Deray, for making my experience a good one. P.s. I do wish this had beer like other Denny's I've been to!! read more

Waitress Sat Outside For A Solid 20 minutes Smocking cigarettes with her co working before even offering to take our order

Decent food decent prices, but service can be better. sometimes you have to wait to be seated yet 25% of their tables are empty because they don't have enough staff. read more

Loved our waiter! Batman Ron! Fast courteous service. Food was excellent. Made a bad airline experience a little better!

The picture I posted of the empty plate only tells half the story. Yes, the breakfast at 8 PM after a fight from Orlando tasted great. Good veggie omelet, hash browns, toast. Everyone's food was good. Now class, please ask me how long it took to get the food in front of my gullet. Freddy? "Um, 15 minutes?" Wrong, Freddy. Vanessa? "I'd guess 25 minutes'. No, sweetie, your still off. Charlie, give it a go. "45 minutes, right?" No Charlie, but getting warmer. Give it a shot, Monique. "I'd say...55 minutes". You're closest! Congrats! The correct answer is, 60 Minutes! Hooray! Yes, folks, 60 minutes from the time we entered. The last thing to arrive? Two pancakes on a plate. Service was unbelievably slow. Waitress was nice enough, but we didn't see her for the first 10 minutes after we were seated...which, when she did arrive, we were ready to put in food orders with the drink order...but alas, it didn't expedite the process at all. Maybe it confused them. Yes, class, that does mean we waited 50 minutes for the order to arrive. It's Denny's. Good food, be prepared to wait. On this night, we did. read more

The food was awesome, better than some other locations I've been to. Our server Tanesha was amazing. She was covering many stations at once and got our order perfect without having to write anything down. She deserves a raise, she's keeping this place alive. The man who was hosting/working the register didn't seem to know what was going on, but I'll admit that it was rather busy and maybe he was just new. Overall strongly recommend this location, just avoid coming at busy times. read more

Probably the worst dennys experience I've had and the bar is not high. Waited over an hour for poached eggs hash browns and sausage. For was not edible. Inattentive staff. This location has potential but needs a lot of change. Cleaning would be first. Restaurant is very dirty. Smells of dirty dish rags. Not a lot of choices in this area but I would steer clear read more

Absolutely the best service I have had here in such a long time. Debbiejo and batman go up and beyond Everytime I am here. Even the manager Kristin welcomed me with a warm welcome and I felt very welcomed. You have great staff and keep up the great work. I will definitely be back to eat some yummy food. read more

We've been coming here for a couple of years whenever we fly out of Philly. Friendly, efficient staff (Ronnie "Batman"). Consistent menu/food quality. We always get the Fit Slam; low calorie option for the fitness conscious! Denny's makes options for anyone's dietary needs. read more

Menu in Philly has been updated. Food was delicious and the toast choices outstanding including 7 grain bread . The service was outstanding , " Batman" Ron was on his game and taking care of everything in the Front of House. No one had to wait and he is a true professional . read more

Service was almost nothing had to get Up from table and get utensils off other tables , never brought ot salads Ordered with meals . Onion rings were under cooked soaked with Grease. Never refilled a glass . Carpets were dirty and not vacuumed . Will never be back to this location . read more

Hours are incorrect. Closed at 9:45 even though hours were posted as open until midnight. No excuse given, just "closed for either dine-in or takeout" read more

great good great service. Batman and Debbie Jo are always on point. I will be coming back again

i ordered an avocado bacon cheese burger from here twice and never recieved the burger. All i got was fries with whatever was supposed to be in the burger on the fries. I ordered from Uber eats AND doordash and still never got my burger. your employee/cooks or whoever is in charge is triffling for allowing this to happen to a good paying customer. Ima let everyone know how bad you are because this is not the first time. This always happens to me with this company. You need new employees and a manager that actually cares because this is outrageous and triffling. Your number on the website does not work. Im hard working and i do not have time to wasting money on food im never going to get so i will never get food from here ever again. read more

I tried calling about my order I am sent straight to voicemail, that is highly unprofessional my food was made wrongly and burnt to crisp

Very selectively slow service. Felt ignored over all over patrons. Not sure why but the wait staff is extremely inattentive and lackluster.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Essington,PA. The food is always fantastic and no matter what my coworkers & I order, we are always satisfied with our meals! The servers are also great & always efficient. They're always happy, polite & accommodating. The hostess Fara, deserves all of the accolades though. She is the true definition of what a hostess should b. She's very knowledgeable of the the menus, surrounding areas & local entertainment. Can't wait to return & wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Essingto, PA. read more

Had a great experience yesterday for breakfast. Greeted by Ronnie when we walked in. Food was prompt and tasty. Ronnie provided excellent service with a genuine smile. Bathroom and dining area was clean and attractive. Ronnie's boss should know that they have a competent employee who made a great impression on their patrons! read more

Arrived around noon on 9/18. Place wasn't busy. Was seated promptly. Waited 16 mins for someone to show up to at least take drink order. Left without even being noticed. There were 3 employees within 6 feet in a circle shooting the shit about nothing. Smh. read more

The immediate smell of the place being unkept was our first reaction. The floor's definitely needed to be replaced. There was no sign of anyone to greet everyone at the door. After waiting ten mins someone came out. They appeared to be understaffed as the person at the desk was also serving food to the tables. He saw everyone waiting and then ran back to kitchen to serve food to another table. We eventually left and decided to find another place to eat. read more

my family loves coming here to see mr Ron, always a great experienc! Great food and great friendly service.

Burnt toast, no avocado after a request, and messed up some very simple directions. It wasnt even busy. Do better, Denny's read more

Very great food and amazing service from our server Ronnie, who was secretly Batman! The pancakes and chicken tenders were amazing as always. Great wait time and great/clean atmosphere. Definitely recommend coming here and hopefully you too get to be waited on by Ronnie/Batman! read more

We love eating at this Dennys. The manager loves his team and Batman was prompt and polite. We appreciate dining with them in the morning. The Powell Family read more

I understand they are understaffed during this time. I did not mind the 20 min wait, I was not perturbed that my table needed to be wiped down. But as customers left and paid their tab the mounds of dirty dishes that remained on the tables & not being bussed was ridiculous. Then to have more customer's seated around the mess. There were 6 tables that needed to be cleared & cleaned by the time we left. One was a mess when we were seated. At this time there should be some team work. This is a restaurant. They should be working together to keep the business going. Are they trying to shut the business down. Not sure what the problem is but please try to do better. Would you as an employee sit down in that mess and eat. read more

We knew better. It was late night and due to flight delays we had no choice. Filthy. Horrible. Never again

Have to fly out Philadelphia airport so took chance to get breakfast here knowing they have 2 star ... Soon walk in I told waiter litter rush because have plane to take.. he was friendly took order make sure are food was out quickly ... Friendly personality believe name was roni- Batman read more

I ordered online for pickup and they gave my food away to another customer. They refused to remake the food for me or to refund my money because I ordered online from Denny's.com Horrible customer service. Now I have to call customer service to get refund. read more

Good food and great service!!! Comfortable environment. Will visit again. Will recommend this place to anyone.

OMG !!!!! We were in town visiting for Wrestlemania weekend and seeked food after the show . This place had the WORST SERVICE in any place I have ever gone to. WE were in there over 90 MINUTES !!!!! So many people walked out and the waiting area was packed w people waiting . There were 3 people working the WHOLE place. = ONE server Kelly who I felt bad for as she was overwhelmed w 10+ tables / could not keep up / Kept apologizing ! She said she was supposed to go home 3pm and it was 1am when she said it . There was ONE cook and one lady at register who vanished 30 minutes in the back to help make up to go orders . No one could pay / No one could be seated . the waitress started to do register to get people out IT WAS CHAOS !!!! SO poorly run. so poorly staffed and prepared . WE SAT at 1215 AM. we placed order at 1240 AM - 2 turkey sandwiches 2 sodas we waited an HOUR for the FOOD and got check and left at 2 AM !!!!!!!! Near 2 hours of HORROR* read more

This Dennys left my stomach rumbling, I felt like I was going to bust open, I do not recommend

Food was very good. Prices were good, service was quick and friendly. Not sure why others gave it poor reviews!

The food was so good I felt like I was going to pass out

The worst dennys I've ever been too dirty. the floor was dirty no one was helping us we waited almost an hour and then when we sat down we wait another 45 minutes when we got our order the food was old glass was dirty. just disgusting and nobody cleans up the tables are dirty and they need help they need a lot of help this place is dirty stay away from this restaurant disgusting. Should be a zero rating. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I did a mobile order at 5:20 pm for a Grand slam. In case you don't know what that consist of it's two pancakes, seasonal fruit, a biscuit and red potatoes. I literally just received my order at 6:20 pm. I mean an hour, like 60 mins. It's not like I ordered steak. The staff was unprofessional and extremely lackadaisical. I literally was on lunch break, extremely hungry. At this point I am late to return from my break with no time to eat. I am extremely disappointed. I will never eat here again and I will make sure to tell all of my family and friends not to waste their time. read more

I ordered delivery through the Denny's website. It said that that I would receive my order an hour later. I waited for an extra 10 minutes past the hour and then called. The man I spoke to on the phone was extremely rude and continued to tell me that there was no delivery option on the Denny's website, even though I clearly paid a delivery fee. I asked to be refunded since my food was not making its way to me. He then was even more rude, said he would process the refund and then abruptly hung up on me. I then spoke to Denny's corporate and they let me know that they do in fact have a delivery option through their website. read more

Food was cold and order was messed up. Booth was sticky and dirty and we waited for the food for a long time. Very disappointed.

server has definite issues with taking our order starting with the drinks. 2waters and 2 de pepper. she brought the water but brought diet cokes. she seemed to write our orders in longhand - no waitress shortcuts. and then it just took a long time to get our food in a restaurant that has less than 6 customer. we had 2 children with us. the jr cheeseburger appeared to be NOT a jr. the kid couldn't get a bite. the mashed potatoes were just nasty. not sure what I was eating or not eating after the first 2 bites. we came to Denny's as an annual tradition. I think the tradition has died. one of the worst restaurant experiences in my life. I was a guest so I did not speak with management it would have embarrassed my hosts. I'm afraid this is good bye Denny's read more
