Great service! We came in at 9:30pm straight from the airport (DFW) and were pleasantly surprised by the friendly waitstaff, quick service and delicious food. Not to mention the western TV show for great ambiance! We'll be back! read more

Food came COLD. No one ever came back to our table. Rude cashier. Not happy. Won't be back. And I live here. Not a weekender.

Has the best servers in GBC. Shoncie is the best! Knows what we want and keeps the folks in back on their toes. Sunday the 16th was great!

All was perfect. Loved Laura, Chauncey and Dakota. They work hard and made sure our party of 7 were happy

We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by Darrian & she was super friendly and seemed to actually like working there ~ so many at other restaurants don't. My chicken fried steak with broc/squash and mashed potatoes with cream gravy was great! My grandson had bacon cheeseburger and he loved it. We both had to have to go boxes. We live about 20 mins away and will be definitively making the drive more often. 10/10 read more

Denny's - a hamburger and fries on a plate - Diners Near Me - Gun Barrel City, Texas

See all

Service was great. The only issue I had was I saw that the slams were on special and they didn't have a menu for that and had I not asked I would not have known, they need to not hide their specials. read more

We've been Denny's GBC several times and always have had a great experience. Jenny is normally our server and the food is quality and presents as expected. They have a million options and even carry sugar free syrup for diabetics eating pancakes/French toast The price is also very reasonable for what you get. read more

Breakfast is always good, waitress Brenda always has a smile and very nice...Comes around to see if you need refills on coffee or whatever drink you are having.Thankyou Brenda read more

We ate at GBC Dennys almost everyday until about 2 weeks ago. We went for lunch and the waitress took our order no problem. I asked if they the items in stock and she said and her husband was cooking. After 20 minutes I walked to the register to ask someone what the hold up was. No one responders to me and the waitress was yelling back at her husband who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. She came out and started talking to some people who came in, they ordered breakfast and it came out with 8 minutes. Another couple who had been there as long as we were just looked at us, like what's the problem, our food is not out either. After another 30 minutes and the waitress chit chatting with some others, We got up, I tapped on the shoulder and said cancel our order, we are leaving. Today we decided to try one more time. The same cook was there, the young oriental girl waited on us. We ordered the classic burgers and mine came out very under cooked, the buns were soggy wet from the lettuce laying in water and placed straight onto the bun. With so few restaurants in this area I would think y'all would have better people working in the kitchen. That is probably our last time, with my husband being very ill with cancer, it's not worth making him sick with poorly cooked food or no food at all. I contacted your corporate office and they have never responded, so I guess they get their paycheck from the franchise fees and ignore the problems.​​ read more

Shawna has amazing customer service, amazing with kid, & the food was delicious as well

we've been eating there for a couple of years now and had no real issue until this last weekend we decided we wanted to go there for dinner. Huge mistake, I ordered chicken fried steak with eggs and a side of toast. I noticed the meat had a twang to it so I started looking at it and it was absolutely raw, then I finally received my toast and it was literally black. The manager Kennie was sent over when I got the waitress involved. Manager was nice enough and took it off of our bill but I had still eaten 1/4 of a raw chicken fried steak and was disgusted the rest of the night. read more

Food was decent and waitress were sweet as always. I had ordered a to - go dessert took 30 mins to get into the oven it was getting late so I had nicely asked if the waitress could take off the dessert so i could head out. The manager had to take the order off of the receipt I waited at the front with the waitress waiting for the manager to come and take it off manager took her sweet time to come help us ,there were people behind us waiting to leave as well so its not like me and my people were the only ones waiting. manager finally get to the front doesn't even look my way or apologize for making us wait. Just rubbed me the wrong way i didn't see her out on the floor one while at the restaurant the whole time. While the waitresses were busting the tables waitressing and being a hostess. read more

Great food servers were great but the best server was delanie great lady 10/10! Calm not many people either

Great food, fast service even on weekends. Like that I can get a hamburger at breakfast time. All the servers are really nice even when the place is packed. Like the fact that no matter which Denny's I visit, the food is always the same. read more

Took a couple minutes to be seated even though it was dead. Food took FOREVER to come out. Thankfully it tasted okay & our waitress was sweet which is the only reason there are 2 stars. We sat near the kitchen which you couldn't hear the restaurant music over their screamo & hard rock being played. Son's soda tasted terrible & only mistake on food was we ordered a burger (no cheese) & still got a cheese burger. Pancakes have no flavor at all. Got a couple $5 off $20 coupons for our bad experience but gave them to others in the restaurant as we walked out.. lol Probably won't be back as this was not a good first impression with Denny's. Made a mistake tonight... we came here again! ‍ We are 2 hours in & we have a drink and some ranch in a bowl (we have no clue what to do with the ranch as our meals we have been waiting on don't require it.)... Take it from us, DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF COMING HERE. Terrible service, terrible food, terrible experience. Save you money & go elsewhere. read more

Really great food! Breakfast items are ok, nothing fancy!! Good speed on getting orders out!! read more

Let me start by saying we had a huge family reunion of 17 people who were set together and served by one waitress. She was great and everyone else's food was absolutely correct even down to what people were drinking except for me. She forgot my drink and my food. Personally I think for the number of people that was pretty impressive for any waitress. The food was okay... typical Denny's or iHop type stuff.. it would not be my top choice to go to again when visiting family again. read more

Denny's - a sign for denny's - Diners Near Me - Gun Barrel City, Texas

great staff, they are like one big family. I love their bacon avocado cheeseburger, it is my favorite. I go there at least once a week. my friends and family love going there as well. I highly recommend Dennys in gun barrel city. read more

Our Denny's us probably as good as any.I have worked for them from here to Arizona Staff is friendly and attentive.Hell they're good I hate that smoking is only late nights. read more

Horrible and slow service combined with low quality greasy food served by rude and poorly trained people. We had to ask for everything at least twice. No napkins, no salt shakers and asking for an extra plate was a monumental task. What Denny's management and ownership needs to understand is that the late shift manager, the lady ( and I use the term very loosely) in the blue shirt was using horribly offensive language and cussing loudly at everything including the weather.!! Good was sizzling hot but nasty and greasy. Had to ask three times and wait for 7 minutes to get a plate and a napkin. Regardless, I would never go back to the Denny's in Gun Barrell and Mabank, TX. Dirty nasty place !!! read more

No Stars! Where this place USED to be good, it has really gone down hill. Staff is rude, it took my son 2 hours to get a Slam Burger, then they got upset when he complained. Honestly it became an ordeal, where the waitress chssed him into the lot, when he removed himself from the place to wait for us to come get him. (Yes, he is a minor). When we arrived, she started screaming at my wife. when I requested a manager, she said she called him, but he never showed. We waited for 40 minutes. During that time, she never went back inside, just sat shouting at us across the lot, then she called the police, who we awaited as well. Unlike the non-exsistent management, the Police did come. Took our statement, sent her inside, and we left. What a total freak show this place is. So far, no one will give me the GM's name an number so we can talk. read more

Order is wrong every time I come here. They had to take it back. And I had to ask for the rest of the food back that was not wrong. Because I was starving. We had waited 45-60 minutes before we even got any food at all. I what I had and still no correct order. I had to ask for it to go because it's going on an hr 45 minutes that we have been here. And they are not even busy. There are 10 empty tables. I have no idea what the problem is. We would have spent half the day here if the tables were full!!! Couldn't even get water refilled VERY POOR SERVICE VERY POOR MANAGEMENT read more

Amazing servers and great food! I've been so many times and the service is phenomenal the management is amazing and really helpful with anything you may need! read more

Darrian is AWESOME! My girlfriend and I came in at midnight to a pretty packed restaurant. We were told that only the 2 4 6 8 menu was available and the wait time on food was 30 minutes due to new kitchen staff in training. No problem at all. Not only was Darrian very attentive, the entire staff was hustling as fast as they could and you could see and hear it. When our food arrived, it was hot and fresh and exactly what we wanted and how. If I made more money, I would've tipped the entire staff for working so hard to maintain efficiency and great customer service! Great job guys! read more

Like all things worthy of analysis, we must first look at the context; for it is in context that we find the nuances which bring deep meaning and true understanding. context:This Denny's is nestled within a city named Gun Barrel city. Upon hearing such a name one conjures up images of dusty cowpokes, guns holstered, quietly waiting for the next round of whiskey to be served to the card table. As such, the demographic from which Denny's derives it's staffing are no kidding around 'get r' done' people. Therefore, buckle up yer belt and slip on your boots cowhand, because you're in for a cattle drive of epic proportions. I ordered 3 pieces of bacon, French toast, and 4 eggs. That doesn't exist on the menu. I just wanted it. Did my waitress, TK, seize up in fear at the hearing of such an out of the norm request? Did she attempt to maneuver me into pre-established commodity menu items as so many establishments do? No! She got r' done! Going to her Zen place, she first calmed the mind and controlled the situation by pouring a cup of coffee. Then, she skillfully placed the creamer on the table with no hint of nervousness and uttered these profound words 'I got ya!' I fell helplessly into a complete state of trust as I gave up my very being - yeah even my very breakfast order! I trusted my custom order to this half angel, half Zen Master, and half prophet*. When my meal arrived it was perfect - just as this prophet foretold. The eggs were cooked to perfection, over medium; their bright yellow yolks facing upwards shining more radiant than the very sun itself. The bacon, crispy as freshly ironed IBM employee's white shirt** from the 70's. Lastly, the French toast, drizzled with syrup by my own hands, glistened with an alluring call to my saliva glands much akin to the irresistible sirens of the great seas. As I overheard another Denny's employee speak of his soon to come Masters degree, clearly indicating the high standards present at this Denny's, I could not help but drift into a mindful contemplation 'What is the meaning of life but to come here and fall into bliss and ignore the passing of time for all eternity.' Footnotes/supporting data: *most beings from earth cannot comprehend something having greater than 3 halves. My waitress, TK transcended normal human boundaries and achieved this miracle. Before I left, she also did several push-ups without using her arms. **the IBM dress code of that epoch is widely known to be one of a standard! crisply ironed white shirt. read more

I wholly agree with Lauren A., something has definitely changed at this Denny's location! The mature, attentive waitstaff was not there, food is the slowest I've experienced in any other Denny's in the nation, in addition to being lukewarm and tasteless. This used to be our go-to cafe style restaurant when visiting the Cedar Creek Lake area.... On a positive note, I was able to customize my order, since the menu was only one sheet of double-sided choices. read more

30 min. wait for food to come out. Hash browns and bacon were NOT crispy, both were soggy. Table (and floor under it) we were sat at were not clean. The waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

My mom and dad are frequent regulars of the Gun Barrel City location of Denny's. They usually really enjoy their Tuesday night dinners. I joined them last night (Thursday), and had a very different experience. I was starving when we got there...I quickly decided on a bacon avacado burger and onion rings. I ordered a side of bbq sauce (onion ring dipping). My parents ordered their normal breakfast and Cobb salad. When our order arrived the waitress sat a burger covered in bbq sauce and mushrooms in front of me. I told her that wasn't what I had ordered. I repeated my order to her again, stressing bbq sauce in the side. She took my order back and tried to bring me the onion rings (with no bbq sauce). No..... I want my dinner brought out together. I sat starving watching my family eat for 45 minutes. As they were finishing up she finally sat a new plate in front of me. A burger covered in BBQ SAUCE! I waited starving for 45 minutes to get the wrong order twice?!? I sent the food back, had them remove it from from our bill and went through the drive thru at taco bell for dinner. Very disappointing and frustrating. I will not be returning. Either the wait staff isn't listening, or the cook's can't read. read more

My favorite pancakes in the Lake Plex area. Friendly staff. TV's. WiFi. Great omelettes and crispy bacon read more

I will never drop a dime in this place,the service was ok was just my wife and my there as customers,her pancakes was ok,I ordered biscuit and sausage gravy,I didn't get any sausage so I asked if I could order a side and she asked if they had any sausage cooked,they said no and she politely told me they didn't have any cooked,I had ordered 3 orders of the sausage gravy and biscuits to take home to my dogs,I ended up getting a to go for my biscuits and gravy,it tasted awful,I paid full price for everything and when I got home my dogs just looked at it and turned away,the look they gave me,I told them I was sorry I couldn't eat the crap myself,from now on if Huddle House is late opening I'll just wait until they do,good luck if you try this place read more

Great restaurant to have breakfast lunch or dinner. I go to eat there on a regular basis so I know they have had some challenges with staffing, like any other restaurant but they always put there best foot forward. Great staff! Very clean. And food is awesome. read more

Food was really good, fast, and hot!!! The service was polite and friendly. It was a good experience.

Worst ever!! Waited 50 min for an all American slam!! Just got up and left!! Can't understand how this place is still in business!! Will never go back!!! read more

Our food was fast very friendly waitstaff. Couldn't have been better. Food tasted awesome also.

Very impressive customer service and you can tell the place is ran right with hard work! The floors are always clean every time I step into that place I eat there every weekend and the food of course is delicious! Even when busy you get what you order. I am always here for a great breakfast of every variety and the best oj in town! read more

Lets see where to begin. I ordered Over medium eggs and the first time they came out they were burnt. I sent them back got the new ones back and they were slimy. So I didnt eat them. Hashbrowns crisp doesn't mean stick them in the fryer. It means cook them a little longer on the grill. I am guessing the cook has had no training. My husband ordered scrambled eggs and they were burnt as well. He will not complain so he ate them. read more

Pretty terrible breakfast. The coffee is typical diner coffee, the eggs are fake and the toast was very strange. Service wasn't great. The veggies tasted fine but didn't make up for the rest of the meal. read more

Service was terrible, my drink was empty a majority of the time I was in the establishment. Our food came out all at separate times.
