My server Regina was awesome and she made sure we never ran out drinks and we are good. Recommend going there food was hot and fresh!

Nate was friendly, prompt and attentive while we ate our breakfast. Food was typical Denny's quality and the restaurant was clean. Very grateful to those who work on the holidays for us travelers. read more

https://aquablauw69.com/life-is-good/f/dennys Denny's Restaurant, #9305, 4380 S. Nashville Rd, Franklin, TN 42134, Tel : (270) 586-0837 Server Shyanna T. 5/11/2026, at 4:49 :34 AM, Order63357. I was always a Denny's Fan. Very expensive menu, but expected always high-quality food. On my way from Nashville to Bowling Green, I decided to stop in a totally empty restaurant. Normally filled with truckers and overnighters who commute from Nashville to Kentucky. To make a long story short. I ordered the slam breakfast; no one can make a mistake with that. Received 3 over-easy eggs, swimming in a puddle of grease. Hashbrown half raw and another half sucking up the grease from previous cooking off the flat grill. Hard dried out link sausage, probably sitting under a heat lamp for long hours, and 2 small bacon strips. Besides the good coffee. What can go wrong? I was the only customer in that entire empty restaurant. The waitress forgot my toast and strawberry jelly. And let me know, my AARP membership of 15% discount is no longer being accepted. The Cook has to function as dishwasher, janitor, and cook at the same time. With my over the 40 years of hotel management experience. Every time new owners buy the properties, they cut corners so badly that over 250 closing Denny's is no problem. These equity owners have no Food and beverage experience and no Restaurant operator experience, then an awesome, great tax write-off. I made these two people aware, in finding new employment, cause there store is on the block of closing. As humans, you all must be ashamed of screwing employees and customers. That property was the last property in turning out high-quality food. No, I plan not to return till a Mom and Pop owners take over the joint. Thank you. Copy will be posted on TrustPilot and Facebook. And more social media. But that place has to shut down. Share this post: read more

Diamond is the best! She was very great! She was so attentive and always walking by and asking if i needed anything and if the food was fine. Shes so polite and she is a very fast paced worker. read more

Okay, I'm not really too sure just WTF I just walked into, but I'm pretty pissed off. This one star goes to my server. She was the only thing good this entire trip. I just dropped $30 on this joke of a restaurant, look at my pictures, and tell me if I got anything even remotely close to what I just paid for. To start things off, I'm standing by the hostess station for 10 minutes, while one girl is counting her till. Doesn't even acknowledge me. My server finally comes from the back to seat me. She gets my Coke zero, and I ordered a spicy sizzling chicken skillet... Well I'm sitting there for about 10 minutes, and she comes out with my food in a to go container. She told me the cooks "thought my meal was to go", and if I wanted it on a plate. At this point, does it really make a difference? The to-go portions are half of what the regular portions are, so I don't know if they're just lazy and don't want to do dishes or they're trying to rip me off. So after I eat this crap, my waitress comes by with the ticket and I asked for the menu because I was still hungry because I didn't get the full amount of food that I would normally get on a skillet. So I ordered a grand slam breakfast for $7, and you can look at my pictures and see what I got. But that's not the thing, guess how it came out? IN A PLASTIC BOWL, IN A BAG, TO GO. DO YOU F**** IDIOTS NOT KNOW I'M DINING IN AT THIS POINT? ARE YOU JUST THAT LAZY OR ARE YOU JUST INCOMPETENT. PROBABLY A COMBINATION OF THE BOTH, AFTER ALL, YOU ARE A COOK FOR DENNY'S. I generally tip really well, and I always clean up after myself, but I was so pissed off, I just left the trash bag and all the other trash on the table. It's probably an indicator that I'm going to eat my SECOND meal, in the booth I'm sitting at, when all my silverware is still out. Whatever man. The manager guy said "come see us again".. yeah and that's all I'll do, looking at you through the window as I walk right past this place. I stop at this flying j often, but I won't be stopping in this Denny's ever again. 18 hours on the road, and can't even get a decent meal.

Diamond was a great server and made sure we had everything in order. Love your personality

Food was very good, only 3 people in this restaurant. To busy smoking, not taken care of there customers. Had to wait 10 min to pay the bill. Need to train your employees why they go to work. Oh how about they aren't to use their phones while at work. Only on breaks... wouldn't recommend going there.... read more

Kaylin was fantastic and brought everything that I order accordingly. Perfect service

I came in, ordered my food and waited for HOURS to get it. The food was horrible I didn't even eat 1 24th of it. The restaurant was SO empty too. read more

Regina was amazing and attentive. This is one of the better Denny's I've been to. The food looked and tasted fresh. Denny's actually does a decent cheeseburger. I would return to this location. read more

Needed a pit stop in the way to Michigan. Figured we may as well grab lunch. It was not too busy. I counted 9 booths with at least one person in them including us Arrive was slow. Food was exactly what you would expect. Perfectly acceptable for a Denny's. read more

This location has undercooked food and long wait times. I would recommend a different location.

Stopped here to charge my EV (Chargers are right outside so very convenient). Nate provided fast and great service. Food was great and atmosphere was what you would expect from a Dennys. If you don't know what to expect from a Dennys this is a good place to find out. read more

Pulled up to Denny's, and we were immediately welcomed by maybe locals, maybe truckers, maybe gypsies, toking on cigarettes, and charging their iPhone 15s. Got sat down right away! Taken to a dirty table that was quickly cleaned with a wet dirty sock (I truly believe it was) and then very quickly dried with a handful of napkins. The server was quick to get our order after a short 15-minute wait. But forget all of that!! It's Dennys, and the Grand Slam choices are great no matter those other things!! No matter what Denny's you're at.... Right?? After a short 20-25 minute wait and our waitress never once coming to the table to refill my coffee or asking if anyone needed anything, the food was delivered!! And it was perfect! A Great American diner breakfast! Perfectly cooked eggs, excellent bacon, ham, sausage, and country fried steak, and pancakes that were light and fluffy! The review should be about 2.5 stars. Started out very shaky, and I questioned my life choices, but the food came in and saved the day! Hooray! Never mind... I had to wait 10 minutes at the front counter to pay. Back to the 1 star review it deserves. read more

We came straight from the airport tired and weary. This place had good food and good service. Our server, Nate, was very kind and respectful. Overall an enjoyable experience read more

Nate is an amazing server and was pretty much serving every table in the restaurant by himself and wasn't bothered at all, was super polite and helpful. this place needs more servers but the way he handled it all was graceful. He needs a raise or some help. read more

Quite and quick. Friendly. As a trucker its a blessing to have a diner at truck stops. thank you nate for my service @ franklin, KY

Sat for 15 minutes without even ordering a drink. Place was pretty much empty, the waitress would rather go hide in the back instead of helping customers. Only time she would do something was if someone walked up to place an order. She didn't care about the tables. read more

This place is NOT GOOD, and while I have a high tolerance for bad, this particular Denny's is REALLY BAD. From the host who dropped our pile of menus all over the *very* dirty floor, and then picked them up and tossed them in front of us, to the plate (not bowl) of liquid mac & cheese that appeared like burnt soup and tasted of tangy plastic, this location should be avoided at all costs. It's not worth it. Keep driving. This spot is cursed. read more

Denny's - categorically the worst mac & cheese I've ever experienced. - Diners Near Me - Franklin, Kentucky

My husband and I stopped inches morning and our food was delicious and very hot.We also had a awesome waiter Nate he went up and beyond with customer service I really appreciate that. So if you are ever in Kentucky stop in Dennys you won't regret it read more

Denny's is inside of a gas station. 3 tables when we came in, seated ourselves as there was no host. Took about 5 minutes for someone to come out. Its food, trainee was nice! read more

Diamond was our waitress and after having a very stressful morning, she was awesome and relieved all stress and deliver us a beautiful breakfast thank you diamond for being an awesome waitress read more

Diamond was fabulous!! You need to clone her!!! Best service ever!! She was friendly and anticipated our needs.

Dennys could improve everything! We went through eight different utensil packs before we found three clean ones. Returned two separate water glasses because glasses were dirty. Food not cooked to order. This is the final time I will eat at this restaurant chain. read more

Had a nice quiet dinner. Food always dependable and Regina is a very personable person., -and waitress.

Nate my server was very pleasant,efficient,and professional, the food came in fast, hot , and delicious, overall the restaurant was clean .

We enjoyed our visit- food was good and came out quickly. Nate was super nice and friendly, very attentive!

Don't rerecommend this one for sure, well maybe if you have the extra time to kill while waiting. Food is good, not the wait time.

Great food and service as always. Every time we come by here on our way to the grandkids house we stop.

4stars for the server big NATE he is holding down the entire unit on his own. Management get this guy some help! Thanks again Nate for the additional attention even when you're swamped. This establishment could use a major upgrade and a deep cleaning but the food is decent and the service is FANTASTIC!!! read more

Tricia as the cook needs to be saved in that kitchen her cooking was spot on i cleaned my plate there are very very few dennys that can make very good eggs and she made them perfect i thought i made it myself For now when me and girl want dennys we stopping here more for now on. You wont go wrong going to this dennys read more

I & my wife were there this evening, Denny's - Flyin J T/S Franklin, KY. Place really sucked.There appeared to be 3 people working in restaurant that I could see, ALL were pretty well disinterested in doing their job. It took 1hr &20 min to get our food & that was with only 5 other customers in the whole restaurant & 2 walked out before their meal arrived. Apparently the ONLY reason we got our meal when we did is I told the lady we were leaving & our meal magically appeared. Cold & very small portions & half cooked. This is the 2nd time in 2 wks we've been in there with pretty much the same results. There will NOT be a 3rd time read more

I am leaving a review for Nate. Nate was amazing funny and helpful I loved him as our server I would definitely recommend.

I hate to be this person but I'm going to be them today . I went to this location and it's part of a truck stop . Usually truck stop food is really good , hot with great service . First off when you walk into the Dennys it's dirty and dingy. The person greeting was awkward with horrible customer service . Me and my girl sat down and she referred to us as 'boy' and 'girl' . It took a good 15 minutes until the food was served . Which is cool because I want my food hot and ready not cold and reheated in a microwave . Dennys is a diner but anyways... she ordered the breakfast slam with French toast and I ordered the Sante fe sizzlin skillet with pancakes on the side . They brought us water and there was particles floating in the cup . The cup was also dirty like it was improperly washed or not washed at all. We unwrapped our silverware and it was dirty as well like they were improperly washed . The breakfast slam and Sante fe skillet were hot but the French toast and pancakes were cold . When I'm paying $12-$15 a plate and include gratuity I suggest my food to be piping hot . The waiter kept asking us to leave a review that's how you know the place was sh*tty . Coming from the west coast Dennys is the go to spot but save your time unless you're dying of hunger . Waffle House or Cracker Barell is the way to go down here forsure !!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Awful service from the one waitress on the night shift around 12:30am. Ordered my food came out fast, my sausage links were old and burnt I asked if I could have more sausage links she goes to tell me 15 minutes for 4 sausage links because they need to cook in the oven and I have to wait till the chicken is done being cooked. So now I have the remaining of my meal at the table with no breakfast meat! Not cool. She goes to help someone else and tells me she is going to check on the links, walks back out and says nothing to me, I had to ask her myself and she goes to the back I hear her and the cook laughing and talking loud about me. So I left the food on the table and left! Very disappointed in the service read more

Absolutely terrible. One waitress for the whole restaurant. Wait time to be seated about an hour. With no line. They take to go orders first, then cook and serve them. That includes online orders. A lot of drivers picking up the orders while 3 people in line had been waiting for an hour just to be seated. Food is served cold. Management is... ? Is this restaurant is managed at all? I don't know. read more
