Good food, excellent service. The ambiance is excellent and we had a great time. I will return!

Terrible employees. No one at the host desk to seat me and every other worker either kept doing what they were doing or their back was facing the customers... smh Food was NOT hot at all. The floors and most of the tables were dirty. IN 2026 read more

I mean, it's a Denny's, you gotta set your expectations. They're open 24/7 so that's a plus when you're looking for some late night eats. I kept it simple with a burger and Oreo milkshake. Both were fine- nothing to write home about but definitely not bad. I think the key to decent food is to be specific with your waitress about how you want your food and, again, set your expectations accordingly. Our server was very kind. Kudos to her for working the night shift so gracefully, I don't think I could. The interior is definitely dated. I felt like I was pretty much sitting on the floor because the booths are so low lol. There was a couple physically fighting inside which threw everyone for a loop but it was controlled quickly. Last time: set your expectations lol. read more

Having never been to this location before, I'd be remiss if I didn't think this would be at all good. However, for what it was, I had a good time! Everything tasted good, and while I wasn't a fan of the hash browns, the omelet and nachos were pretty tasty. The real highlight was our waitress and service staff however, because they really brought this place to life. Overall, it was decent! If I am ever in a pinch for breakfast and am near this location, I would go back. read more

Amazing food and very nice staff and I got my food very fast i definitely recommend eating here read more

Denny's - Jr. Premium Chicken Tenders Sweet Corn - American Near Me - Hartford, Connecticut

Had been out standard go to place for breakfast any time of the day, but service and quality have changed, hoping they thrive again, but it is not the old standard this last visit read more

DOSENT EVEN DESERVE A STAR. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. We got junkies shooting up in the bathrooms and tweeking outside the window. We got loud obnoxious others in the booth next to us. Hooking up and being very rude. Not to mention our waiter dropping our straws on the sticky nasty floor then proceeded to give us attitude because we waited 58 minutes for some pancakes and used fowl language as we asked for a check. I'd rather eat at Jeffery dahmers dinner then eat here. I'd let Casey Anthony babysit my kids then bring them to this establishment. I'd rather sit in a submarine hundreds of feet in the ocean then sit in a fucking booth here. read more

We stopped in for lunch recently mainly because we wanted to see Hartford's only Denny's and to have some of their great shredded hash browns. I had a breakfast of steak and eggs. It had an 8oz sirloin steak with two eggs, hash browns and toast. All for $15.99. The steak was very flavorful, although part of it had quite a bit of gristle. The hash browns were great, just as I remembered them; worth it just to have those. Our server, Shawn, was the epitome of friendliness and service. The interior is dated, but that's what we were looking for. We really enjoyed our meal and the experience. read more

Always like some simple dennys breakfast! The prices are what makes it great, breakfast foods are usually freshly made so it's usually great. The service is okay sometimes you do have to wait longer. The ambiance is just normal diner vibes lol read more

While I usually shy away from chains and stick to the "mom and pop" small businesses, I had to go to Walmart on Flatbush, and I was hungry... and so I went to Denny's. One thing I have always loved about Denny's is 1) they are very pro-veteran and 2) their "Build Your Own Grand Slam" breakfast. I also like that "almost a diner" ambiance. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE DINERS! Today I went for the "Build Your Own Burger". I got a double burger with bacon. I wish I knew the name of the cook because both the burger and the bacon were cooked PERFECTLY! Anyone who has cooked bacon much knows that bacon is "perfect" for about 30 seconds. Before that it's Trichinosis-in-waiting and after it's burnt, or as some prefer to call it, "crisp". Yazmin H. was a very attentive server. She offered good advice on the size of the burger patties (I really didn't NEED the double, but did I mention I was hungry?) Add hot and fresh fries and an ice cold Coke, and you have a perfect lunch. On a Sunday at Noon, I was in and out in about 25 minutes! It wasn't very busy, I knew what I wanted, I had a good waitress, the cook was on point, I ate it, got my check and Yazmin offered a refill to-go, paid and was out. If you are military or a veteran, show your ID and save 15%. SIDE NOTE: In my opinion, you should always tip on the PRE-DISCOUNT total. Whether it's a military discount, free birthday burger, or whatever, I always tip as if I paid full price. Servers depend on that income. read more

How is this place still open? The worst restaurants I ever been to. The manager doesn't care just sitting on her phone and not helping. Food cold, attitude, homeless people inside, mopping the floors with a bad odor in front of you. What the hell is this???? This place shouldn't even get 1 star. read more

Dry pancakes. Laminated menu - limited - no specials. Service was Slow. Ambient surrounding area depressed with homeless bothering you when you leave. Worse Dennys I have ever visited. read more

This place is awful. The food came cold. I sent it back. By the time it came back, I was no longer hungry. The pancakes were warm. I ate them so I can sit and eat with my granddaughter. Went to use the bathroom it was so dirty. I would never return to this place. Yuck. read more

This place seems to get either great reviews or terrible ones, and I think the reason is that it isn't in a wealthy part of town, and it doesn't have much in the way of atmosphere. Well, if you want unremarabe pricey food sauteed with pretentious marketing, Hartford abounds in those. I don't think I've ever been in a town with as many restaurants that leave you regretting that you came. To my great surprise, I can't say that about this Denny's. The food was well cooked, the service pleasant, the prices affordable, the background music remained in the background without being ear-shattering misogynistic rap (we're looking at you, Mecha). I expected the worst, and had one of the better dining experiences I've had around here. Would I go again? Absolutely. As I said, the surroundings are not wooded suburban glades and the interior isn't a pristine thing of spacious beauty; but if you value content over style, this place is a bargain. Bonus points: it's open 24/7. No small attraction for late-night students. read more

Came in with a large party of family. Restaurant was not very busy. Tried making the process as smooth for the server as possible (most of us were servers.) Service however was terrible. All of the food came out but 2 of the dishes and only when the majority of the family was practically finished eating because the server took too long to check on us. Drink refills were not offered to the table, and someone at the table had to propose some form of compensation due to the 2 very late meals. Server was not rude at all, but just seemed to not care about her job. At some point soon after, someone spilled a drink and she witnessed it and smiled as we joked with him but offered no napkins to clean or even a refill. From a server to another, just very disappointing work. read more

We went at 10 pm on a Sunday. Nice server attitude. Lots of parking. There is nothing else encouraging to say about this place. The decor is horribly dated. The booth cushions will have you sitting almost on the floor. Some of the tables are leveled with dirty napkins under the feet. The food is very over priced for what you get, the taste is meh at best and the portion sizes are subpar. The service is extremely slow. They ask you to pay without showing the bill. We ordered drinks with refills but the server never came back to see if we wanted a single refill. There are no napkins on the tables. I could not possibly recommend this place. I don't know how this chain remains in business. Decades ago Arsenio Hall famously disparaged this chain, and at the time, it felt a bit unwarranted. Now, this place makes IHOP feel like five star dining. read more

this food was amazing and so was the service. great seating and atmosphere loved it here. recommended to whole family. "Denny's bestows an unparalleled dining experience with exemplary service and a captivating ambiance. The culinary delights, especially the pancakes, are simply sublime. Indubitably recommended for any occasion!" read more

Extremely gross this place needs to be managed by someone who cares about servicing the people. The waitress's outfit is filled with old stains, along with the tables and chairs in the facility. The maple syrup and table station are full of handprints and dirt. I cannot believe that a person who runs this location would allow such standards. I wish I could place pictures of this location. read more

In all the years I been traveling, this is the worst service (of the 3 times in total) that I felt the need to share. I expected exactly what I ordered, First issue, I find out from the door dash driver that they do not have milkshakes (online it posted it was available, so I asked if we can substitute it with apple pie, that was denied. They said they would make a "personal special dish" we get fruit and cool whip. We didn't receive our full order of double berry pancakes or the second side order of bacon. The cook needs to get some serious training. Good Lord, this is just embarrassing. Especially since you couldn't get the order right or the right order you refuse to substitute something as simple as a pie, I would have had no problem paying the difference but damn, Im sure glad I didnt. All I enjoyed was the corm. Come on Dennys, get it together. I will be returning your food tomorrow. read more

The service here was horrendous. We walked in and accidentally seated ourselves since the hostess/server blatantly ignored us. We were then told we can stay where we were seated but it was not seat yourself, we waited there for 10 minutes with no menus or any greeting and when we walked back up to the hostess stand, the hostess/server was rude to us and gave us attitude saying she was coming over there. We left immediately after this since we did not want her to bring us any food since she was clearly upset we even came into the restaurant. We went to a different dennys a little further down the road and were met with much better service. read more

Unfortunately after a fight with the flies while trying to eat made my stomach turn. I'm turned off lost of appetite $40 bucks down the drain. read more

Amazing service by Natalie. She is attentive and knowledgeable. She continued to check in on us and made sure we had a great experience. By far, best service I have received at Dennys. We also noticed that she had great leadership skills and was helping out her Coworkers. We went in for breakfast and had the classic pancakes and eggs. read more

For a Denny's, it was a pretty pleasant dining experience. I came with a large group and received exactly what I ordered in a timely manner. I went out on a limb and tried their caramel banana cream pancakes with eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage links and it was delicious. My midnight meal was well worth $10. Our waitress was very nice and, although she messed up a couple people's orders, she got them their correct orders at the end and was very apologetic. The poor girl was waiting on all 20 of us alone. For the most part she did a good job but she kept a great attitude the whole time. She organized the way we'd pay our checks well, which made payment easy. Overall, I had a pretty good experience here. Not a bad option if you're looking for a meal around 1am. read more

Why?! I know how horrible the service is and I still decided to go.... shame on me! But in my defense I tried the online ordering as I thought if I picked up the food it couldn't be too bad. The food was ok as always but the service was horrible. From the server yelling they didn't want to get more table in front of the customers and from me being totally ignore for awhile. Although I arrived by the time the app estimated my food to be ready. When I got there they stated They didn't received the order, then the server kept mumbling how she hates taking care of to go and to too it off she kept trying to disconnect the online ordering app station (no wonder you didn't get my order). The manager came to talk to me and although she took care of the situation and even when to the kitchen and help make it her attitude wasn't pleasant. Don't waste your money or time here. You'll leave angry and regretting your decision of eating here. 0star!! read more

if youd like to wait two hours for an order (of just DRINKS) while being the only people in the restaurant (with the server walking past you multiple times, assuring you that it will be out) just to not get your order, then have the cashier chase you outside after we decided we no longer want to wait and yell "did you guys pay?" then this is the place for you! when we went out to our cars we saw the entire staff smoking weed (the smell is VERY strong). then the cashier joins them in smoking so there's no one inside the restaurant. pretty great experience read more

Very understaffed! The only good part of our experience was our incredible server, Shonda B. She was single-handedly running the restaurant. However someone came in and threw glass towards the chef, which had a negative effect on the ambiance. Our food was served (2 hours after ordering) with glass in it. The restaurant smelled like a foot. Again, nothing against Shonda. She was great but I hope she quits this job in pursuit of greater things. read more

I think this place tries to be bad on purpose so people don't show up. Because it just doesn't make sense. Recently I went to pick up an order as I was doing Uber eats(I don't eat her because the place is just so bad.) The place had 1 table, 1 damn table and they took 40 minutes to make 2 milk shakes, they were to busy talking omg I couldn't believe it. This Denny's NEEDS to be run down to the ground, bring back Texas Roadhouse!!! Busier places are already handing me my order before I even walk in the building read more

Probably one of the worst dennys I have been too. First off there was a chef planning to leave his job. Server was rude didn't come to give refills or anything , food was horrible and cold and all this happen on Father's Day I don't recommend this dennys at all save your money read more

2:30 AM. The place did not appear busy. But I was told there was a 20 minute wait? No thanks.

Staff can be a bit more friendly and courteous towards customers. Went to pick up an order, woman first said the order wasn't ready yet despite me receiving a message that it was. The drinks were missing and she insisted the order was complete. When I showed her the receipt, she grudgingly went to pour 2 coffees (I ordered decaf and regular) but she just gave 2 regular coffees like she couldn't be bothered. Really bad service. $30 for breakfast and a server who probably hates her job (or is having a bad day). Would not come back here. read more

I made a yelp account just to give this review.The service was terrible. They did not bring utensils with the food and then we politely asked for utensils. The waiter said they would bring it to us. After 5 minutes we had to get up and get the utensils. It was Mother's Day and grandma did not like the food. Cmon Man you know you messed up when grandma dosent like the food. read more

Nah this might be the most honest review coming from me this is my second time getting the same thing(cheese eggs, turkey bacon and , 2 buttermilk pancakes I Uber eats jt and this has to be the best breakfast food I've had out here well cooked I will take a Uber to this restaurant right now and give this man a tip he deserves it! read more

The girl behind the counter at night with the redbull give you wings, fake parachute ass eye lashes, is ridiculously unprofessional and ghetto. I went to this location for the past 4 days for deliveries, and she's always on her phone,( in hand), ignoring everyone that comes in and gives an attitude; when it's time to stop her conversation with her boyfriend, (who's in the car outside), she gives an attitude. Two days ago, I came in and 15-20 people, were waiting and the girl was outside smoking a blunt. Then, she comes inside and gets confronted. She told them, "y'all can wait." (THEY LEFT) PLEASE FIRE THIS DUMPSTER DIVING JUICE. THIS CONTINUES TO BE, BY FAR, THE WORST DENNYS I'VE BEEN TO. THEY CONTINUE TO HIRE TRASH AND IT MAKES MORE AND MORE SENSE WHOSE HIRING THESE PEOPLE, EVERY TIME I GO HERE; TRASH!!! Ghetto af and i went to get food from here for grubhub i said hi i have a delivery for _______ and the two girls in the front acted like they couldn't hear anything. I repeated myself and one of them did this stupid head roll and rolled her eyes. Would most definitely not spend my money eating at this dump. read more

My friends and I visited this Denny's around 2 in the morning after searching for a diner to eat at after a night out. Pros: The pancake puppies were delicious Due to the poor service they gave me a free cupcake cup and didn't charge us for one of the meals we ordered (it was completely wrong and ice cold but that's beside the point) Cheap food and it's open late Cons: The hostess ignored us completely when we first walked in so we eventually had to seat ourselves No matter the time of day the service is extremely slow even if the restaurant is almost empty Our server was forgetful and brought us ice cold food or forgot some items read more

If I could give it a negative star I would. Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had. This was all on the cook - wont say chef, not eligible. Couldn't cook eggs (cold and dry - sent back,), sausage was cold, beacon limp and dare I say cold. Has a sandwich, dry almost stale bread. Really couldn't believe it. Next table over said his hamburger was burnt on one side, raw on the other. Couldn't even make a BLT. Waitress tried her best to resolve but she wasn't much either. read more

if I could give less than one star, I would. the server with the stank face who look like she don't like her job is so unprofessional she didn't ask us if we wanted refills she brought a plate incompleted.
