This is my second visit within the last 24 hours. I wanted to come back just in case my last experience was a fluke, (or a one-off, you know),. I am very happy to report that it wasn't! I stopped going to Denny's a number of years back because the service, decor, and food quality had decreased to a point where it didn't feel like it was worth my money. Yesterday, my husband and I decided to come to try this Denny's by chance. Imagine my surprise! This restaurant is very clean, the hostess is wonderful, the cook sent my food to me hot and looking JUST like the menu! Guess what? It tasted AMAZING as well! I had the French Toast Slam, while my husband had the Country Fried Steak Both dishes were as flavorful as you can get for a breakfast item, tasted amazing, and was hot. The service during the meal was also fantastic! My husband's coffee cup never got down to empty and neither did my orange juice. At the time there were six full tables around us. You would have thought there was one, considering how well we were all take care of! Our server, Natasha, who by the way is also the hostess, delivered our meals in timely manner, while being super attentive to each of the tables. She also had a great attitude and smile when interacting with everyone. I don't know if she loves this job or not but she sure seems like she does! Her son, Dylan, well-trained, and equally attentive, walked up and down the aisle between the six tables seamlessly, offering and taking away anything that we needed. The cook Dominic, was busy, banging our meals at a rapid pace. Not one order was wrong and nothing was sent back. We, along with everyone else were very satisfied as evidenced by the empty plates and grateful smiles as we left. I certainly felt satisfied as I left the restaurant. The next morning, I thought about dinner again and wondered was yesterday a flu? I had to come back to test the theory again. Natasha was still there it was I'm dealing with absent. It was a new server, Kelsey, and also a chef, whose name I don't know. He and Kelsey didn't miss a beat. Everything flowed as it did yesterday even with more customers in the room! Shout out to the manager, Orlando! He and his team are doing things the right way! I was used to be my experience and all the restaurants that I go to, I'm but unfortunately, we all know it isn't always that way. I'm very happy that this crew takes Customer Service seriously! They're doing a great job!!! Keep up the good work!!! Fortunately, that's the only thing that changed. My watch is cooked to perfection and my husband really enjoyed his pumpkin pancakes! The service, once again was impeccable as was the food. I never thought I'd say this in 1 million years is my new spot for Breakfast and Henderson! P.S. sorry I only had one picture of it. I eat everything! read more

Denny's - West an omelette, chock full meat and vegetables! - Diners Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

I am very disappointed in the level of service and the quality of food that I got tonight. There were only two other tables that had customers sitting and there were 3 waitresses there. I stood there for about ten minutes til someone came to seat me. After being seen by 3 people. It took my waitress 15min til she came back to take my drink order just because I didn't know what I wanted to drink right as I was being seated. When I ordered everything at once I waited 25min til my appetizer arrived and another 20min til my main course arrived. Even though I ate some of the appetizer because of how hungry I was, I had mentioned that it did not taste good. The waitress didn't try to make it right by offering to take it off my bill. Or by asking me if I wanted something else. She also never asked me if I wanted a refill on my drink when I ran out. The strawberries are usually fresher but were dried out and seemed old. The buffalo wings were overly salted and barely had any sauce on them. The hash browns were kind of burnt as well. I don't usually complain this heavily but I have never had to wait at any Dennys for my food for this long. I also have always been happy with every Dennys that I have been to over the years!! I've never been disappointed in this location with service or food quality. Unfortunately I don't think I will be coming back after this experience. Also I feel bad saying this but the waitress told me her life story as I was eating. I'm a giver and a helper. I love to hear about peoples stories and what they have been through in life. However not at 11pm at night when I'm just trying to eat something quickly before having to be back home. She was a really nice lady who's been through a lot, but she didn't ask me if I wanted company or i was on a time crunch to get back home. It kind of felt like she assumed I had money just because I was dressed nicer for my birthday party in order to get a good tip. Again usually the service and food quality is excellent!! Anyway it must have been the time I arrived. read more

Served sulphur tasting eggs ( probably bad) didn't eat them Poor quality restaurant sorry I paid read more

The food here is not particularly great, but it's not awful either. The interior felt clean; service was friendly and efficient. The four stars come primarily from the value you get here. The grand slam breakfasts, in particular, offer a belly-full and then some at prices that don't break the bank. I needed a comfort food fix for a reasonable price, and Denny's delivered. read more

I loved this spot for breakfast! I asked for the gravy on the side and they didn't forget! The server was amazing I wish I knew his name- the restaurant was clean and up to date. Dinner time was a little busier and they did forget to put the gravy on the side. They were accommodating and nice. read more

The food was absolutely awful. It just that simple. Get new take out bowls. New manager. She has one more time to be a smart a$$ to me and I will call 911 read more

The food was not good at all. Cleanliness was just not what it should be. I was so happy to find out that there was a Denny's nearby. And I was so disappointed. I took 3 people with me and we were all so disappointed. Not worth it, will not go back. Awful!!! read more

I usually enjoy Denny's as the food is steady and decent. It is a solid 3 stars. However, we were disappointed with this one. Besides the fact that the temperature inside the restaurant was about 10 degrees too cool (I am rarely cold), the restaurant experience was sub par. It took us several minutes to be seated in a relatively empty restaurant. The waitress was very slow and needed to come back to our table twice before ordering. No idea why because she only had one other table. The food was very average. I had a slam which featured average eggs, undercooked hash browns, only 2 sausages which were also undercooked, and decent bacon. My son had the pancakes which he enjoyed. My other son, a mac/cheese critic, thought the food was very average. The men's room was dirty and the water in the sink was left on and couldn't be turned off no matter how much you tried. read more

worst meal I've ever had from a sit down restaurant. the food looked nothing like pictures. our waiter didn't know jack shit about anything. and the ambiance was the only saving grace. And thats ob,y because they were playing good music. oh and also they tried to charge us 26 dollars for 2 meals that were advertised as 6 dollars on the website. So they discontented us but it was like an annoyance to them. Eat at IHOP instead don't give them your money. read more

The food came out very quickly, considering they were short staffed! The food was delicious! And the place was very clean! Staff was courteous and friendly considering they were short staffed! read more

Def a two star experience. Only rounded up because the server was sweet. Scattered but sweet. Came here late Saturday morning and were not seated right away. Also they let a whole party cut us in line. Maybe they didn't see? The wait was not too bad. Maybe 5 mins. Upon being seated we got drinks fast and ordered within 5 mins. The food took an hour. There is a fine line between "stuff I could cook at home but don't want to" and "stuff I could cook at home but don't want to AND I waited an hour for". I found it here. My partner got the cinnamon pancakes. They were good but someone was super icing happy. Her eggs were great. Mine were old ish and dry. The bacon was perfectly crispy (according to her). My one crepe was ok but all the fruit on it was ice cold. Like microwaved thirty seconds more please cold. The server was apologetic and kind. The place was clean minus the bathrooms. I'll spare you. I like a low key weekend brekky but will seek it elsewhere- there are a lot of options. read more

Literally got food poisoning food was nasty and greasy just overall unsanitary and gross

Server was friendly, the food delicious, and enjoyed it enough to return. Their prices are reasonable too.

Food was good - service was great. Lucky enough to have Nadine as our server, who couldn't have been sweeter or more accommodating!

Didn't get our order correct and took forever. Prices have gone way up for years. Not interested in paying $30 for a few pancakes. The hash browns tasted like BAD OIL was used read more

Had the best experience. Service was excellent. Did not have to wait long at all for seating or food. The cook JOE came to our table and introduced himself and asked us about the food. Said it was delicious. Very nice man. Will be back again real soon. read more

03/21/2025. Ordered steak and a baked potato. The potato was great but the steak was half cooked. It was so COLD and TOUGH. Really a deplorable meal. This review is not for DENNY'S. It was intended for BINIONS. YELP took me to this page and I didn't pay attention until after I posted and I couldn't remove my comment. read more

Color me amazed! I ordered a rare sirloin steak with veggie medley and red potatoes. THE STEAK WAS PERFECT‼‼ Even the garlic bread was excellent The veggies and potatoes were rather good. My friend said her Mac n cheese was passable, but she IS rather picky. I think either this Dennys got a really good cook, or it has improved overall. And the prices haven't gotten outrageous read more

I was at this Dennys on 3/13/2015. I received excellent service by Kristen. The food was good. I had the bourbon chicken skillet. The chicken was tender and cooked well. I always use my AARP card for a discount. read more

Old school classic Denny's. The hamburger and seasoned fries were delicious,The atmosphere reminds me of a Denny's in a Tarantino movie. And the sraff there seened really nice and cared about the classic feel of the place. I will be coming back. I found the food to be even better than other newer Denny's. read more

I've been to other Denny's before, but this was different. I had the pleasure of having Kristin as my server (I hope I'm remembering the name right, unfortunately didn't have it on my receipt.) All I have to say is she is the embodiment of what good service should be. Grabbed my drink order on our way to my table, something I never seen before, and checked in multiple times asking about drink refills and the quality of food. But she wasn't doing this just for me, but at least 5-6 other tables while taking orders and running food out to customers. She deserves a raise and a management/ trainer position at least! The Eggs Benedict and hash browns I ordered were a craving well satisfied! The wait was about 15 minutes but well worth it! Got to relax in comfortable seating, a classic diner atmosphere and with some nice music playing over the speakers. I will definitely be back. read more

So gross. My server Andy has 2 buttons on his shirt undone. His chest hair is out and it's disgusting. Not like it's just peeking out of his shirt. Like I'm wondering if my food is going to have a chest hair in it. Really unprofessional. Overcooked bacon. Undercooked hashbrowns. Food took a really long time. Bathroom not clean. The only things positive were the front of house was clean, and I didn't get food poisoning. This place is trash. Stay away! I wouldn't recommend this place. Go to Waffle House. read more

Denny's - Way overcooked bacon. Over medium eggs. Almost raw hashbrowns that were ordered crispy. Not good at all. - Diners Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Food and service were excellent. The waitress was attentive and nice. I had the crepes special which was tasty. My friend has the salted caramel banana cream pancakes which were fluffy and delicious. The sign on the door warned of potential slow service but we didn't experience an issue. read more

Nasty place OSHA will be called in not safe to eat food isn't cooked properly no water in restrooms why is the doors open in this place very unclean restaurant my grandkids wouldn't even eat the chicken they said it didn't taste right the food tasted like it was being cooked in the same oil left a bad taste in your mouth I should have walked out but we were trying to give the food a chance to be good even though the restaurant was dirty and just thought they got busy but no that wasn't the case read more

The server was nice and all. She took our order and we waiting 50 minutes just for her to tell us that the cooks mixed up our tickets with someone else's and that they would be making the food now. But I kindly declined and just wanted to leave and she didn't charge us for drinks we just left. read more

All I can talk about is lack of service. 3 servers in the floor, one cook 8 tables. We waited 18 minutes with zero acknowledgment. This used to be a place that 6 months ago we went 4-5 times a week. Now it rundown from the greeting when you come in to zero interest to take an order. Didn't see any regulars in the place. Miss Tina and Sue read more

My husband and I took our children for breakfast, and along our food beimg amazing our Server April made sure we were taken care of.

Order cali sandwiches and waited 40 minutes before it arrived. The sandwich has no 7 grain bread and no avocado inside. The waiter didn't let me know they run out of 7 grain bread and avocado. The waitress disappeared and had to call back to explain why the order didn't have the missing ingredients. My water didn't serve with straw but I just didn't push for it because all the waitress seemed to be very unhappy working there. I was very disappointed with everything.will not be back read more

I went there about 6pm on a weeknight in fall of 2022. The waiter was bald, but polite. The cook was fierce and loud, but the food was exactly how I wanted it. I would definitely come back as long as the same staff were waiting on me and cooking for me. Just don't use the bathrooms, they're filthy! read more

It was great options the beyond burger it was delicious with the mushrooms, fries and the onion rings . Be.back for sure

WAFFLE HOUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER! My pregnant wife wanted loaded cheddar bacon tots with chili. They we're out of chili. Plan B) we got mozzarella sticks that the cheese was hard as a rock. We asked for ranch and they forgot it. I ordered their chicken fried chicken And hash browns. The chicken fried chicken tasted like kids cuisine you used to eat as a kid. The gravy was the farthest thing from gravy, seeming more of a puss like watery consistency. My hash browns were so undercooked they almost tasted like you ate them out of a freezer bag. My wife ordered the Bacon avocado burger. they didn't put mayonnaise on it and of course, were out of avocado. Her fries were good?‍ The best part of this whole experience was eating them in bed with the love of my life. Disappointed because when we first got together we'd go there frequently and has become a "tradition" of sorts that's special. Oh how the mighty have fallen. read more

worst service ever, went there one day to get a milkshake and otherstuff, they said they were making my milkshake but they werent really, i was there for a hour my family got sodas but my milkshake still wasn't out, the furture was like any dennys and was nosiey and looked dirty if you wanna go there to waste your time you can, then i went there another day to give it a 2nd chance, the food was cold and tasted store bought, definitely not going again read more

Really lousy experience. It had been almost 6 years since I had been to this Denny's, or any Denny's. I am not a fan, but my son and husband twisted my arm and I promised to try to make the best of it. Promise not kept. None of us enjoyed our meal. First off, the food was ice cold, not even lukewarm, completely ice cold. We had heard someone in the kitchen ring a bell, probably to signal that our food was up, but 10 minutes went by till we got our food. I ordered the 2 crepe meal and asked that the bacon not be overcooked or crunchy, so the bacon I received was overcooked, crunchy and cold. The hash browns were horrible tasting so I ate only 1 bite. The strawberry crepes were also ice cold and had a strange flavor so I couldn't eat them either. I spent $11.79 and only ate the cold runny fried eggs and left hungry so now I have to eat something at home. Two weeks ago I had ordered a near identical meal at an iHop and it was hot, delicious and served by a very friendly young girl. My son ordered scrambled eggs and got sausage instead. The waitress had an attitude also. She gave us a sour look when we asked for syrup for the pancakes. She never came back so there wasn't even an opportunity to bring up the cold food or wrong items. Anyway I plan to wait much longer than 6 years before I come back to Denny's. Save your money. read more

I've read the recent reviews of this particular Denny's and am sharing a better experience than most, if not all. 5 o'clock on a Friday morning and nothing is open besides Denny's in Hendersonville, North Carolina. I've eaten here before but never really paid attention to the reviews. After all, it's Denny's - you have to eat. Sitting at the counter, I was quickly met by Chris, who inquired whether I wanted coffee. I ordered the "bold" coffee as this is my Denny's preference. Moreover, you're almost certain to be served from a fresh pot as this particular blend is usually brewed on demand. Breakfast was the Ultimate omelette, cooked soft - with hash browns and toast. It took a few minutes to come up with this selection as perusing the menu - with all the pretty pictures - is always a chore. Food was cooked correctly by Alex, restaurant was clean and bright, and server Chris came back several times to fill my coffee cup. I even took a cup "to go" as it's $2.75 and I wanted to stretch my dollar. That reminds me - 15 percent off for AARP members. Didn't need to use the restroom, so I'm unable to report on them. They are not gender neutral, but traditional. Overall a decent experience. 4-stars for quality and service. William E. Lewis Jr. Vero Beach, Florida. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Where do I start? Last night I went to Denny's at 8:30 p.m. I waited about 5 mites to be seated. No big deal, but although we were seen standing there, not one " I'll be right with you". We weren't acknowledged until a bigger group got there, so now there was a total ten people standing at the entrance, waiting to be seated. We were seated, and it took about ten minutes to get our order taken, including our drinks. About ten minutes later we were handed our water with this explanation by our waitress: " sorry that took so long, I REALLY had to go to the bathroom". You read that right. " I really had to go to the bathroom". Now, I know that everyone uses the bathroom. Even wait staff. But I'm the 47 years I've been alive, I've never had a wait person exclaim that to me. For the next ten minutes, whilst waiting for our food, I was forced to make believe that my waitress was in the bathroom making flowers, calling her mother to tell her she loves her, or making a face book post. ANYTHING other than relieving her body of liquid, or worse, solid waist. I never use a straw when I partake of liquid refreshment when dining out. I made an exception this time. The food was lack luster. It looked good. I didn't take pics because I was still reeling from the declaration of my waitress. My "finger lickin' chicken fried chicken was anything but. It was overcooked and exceptionally dry. If it was amazing, however, I still would not have licked my fingers. Why? Well, you guessed it. My waitress's episode of TMI. Needless to say, I won't be back. Also needless to say, I'm grateful for my hepatitis B vaccination. Yaaaaaaaaayyyy science! read more
