The last time we were here everything was excellent and on point, with generous servings and the food was great; this time, despite not being crowded we waited an hour and a half for an entree that is skimpy and inedible. It was supposed to be steak and bacon with red potatos, broccoli, and cheese sauce topped with cheddar cheese. It was salt with a side of more salt. I tasted one potato and one piece of steak. They tasted exactly the same. The bacon was limp and uncooked and the "queso sauce" tasted and looked exactly like overseasoned white gravy. The dish was priced $2 more than what I had gotten the last time and was a quarter of the size. It scantily covered the skillet; when before there was an actually a LAYER of red potatos, this thing had 15 small pieces arranged around the edges of the skillet. The "queso sauce" was used to disguise the lack of other ingredients. Save your money and your time and go anywhere else. I have been here 2+ hours (my companion had an edible but not wonderful entree) and I'm leaving without eating. The ONLY good things about this experience was the waitress and the manager on duty. They were both very sweet. read more

We have eaten here twice. The service is horrible. The food isn't much better. We have eaten at iHop many times and the service is always amazing. When we come here, no one is friendly. The food is not good... the scrambled eggs are always gross, my red potatoes were cold and mushy, and my steak was not medium well as requested, nor did it have any seasoning. We won't be back! read more

Food was good and cheap but the service is horrible. Very slow and the people who work in the kitchen continuously scream ruining your time.

Seems lately this place is hit or miss. Service is typically good but the food quality isn't consistent. Often the dining areas aren't as clean as they should be, but during peak hours, I can understand that. A better kitchen staff might be what they need to improve a lot. read more

Was reading that this Denny's sucked but not so. No smell when walked in to restaurant used the bathroom and it was clean (it's busy too). Service is great. Food was good. Looks like they did a remodeling too. read more

The deals they have going on right now I really good. The price is awesome the food is awesome and the new workers are awesome. No it's not the best but it's close to it. Keep up the good. read more

The food was good, but the service was shabby. The host was busy flirting with the married guy, while we sat there waiting for them to quit flirting. She didn't say anything to us until more showed up. The restaurant doesn't stink anymore, coffee is horrible it tastes burnt. read more

My wife and I walked in to place a to go order and we immediately smell this horrific odor of something in the bathroom.. I won't be too graphic but SOMETHING died in someone's stomach neddless to say. They had the bathroom door cracked open, like it'd help. The menus we're disgusting. Dried up food and who knows what else on them. The cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't the best. Only good thing was that our order was right, and the lady who took our order was very friendly. Oh and to top it off, my hash browns were way to hard and overdone, and my toast was burnt. read more

First off delicious food the cooks certainly know what they do and they do it well. Friendly staff and management Ms Stacie is a absolute delight to speak with and the place is clean unlike some places "waffle house" best of all didn't have to wait long for the food. read more

I haven't been here in about three years because how down hill the place was. I decided to give them a chance and was happy to have done so. I had prompt and friendly service and good food brought to me fast. They have improved thier menu. The place was clean. Last time I came thier was food all over the floor and messy. Was a big change to see how clean it was. read more

My friend and I walked into this Denny's and I went to the bathroom first... she came into the bathroom saying it straight up smelled like piss in the lobby and that the bathroom smelled better then the actual restaurant!! And I walked out and it was COMPLETELY TRUE! Truly nasty. Would never come back to this location! read more

The place has a very weird moppy water or sewer funky smell. For that reason I won't be returning anytime soon.

Simply horrible. It smells bad as soon as you walk in...like vomit? If you must dine in, I recommend bringing some Lysol disinfecting wipes because the tables and utensils are dirty. I love Denny's food but this place is filthy and the service is slow and terrible. We (3 adults & 2 children) were there for almost 2 hours. Our server didn't even come to take our order until 15 minutes later. I was a server for 3 yrs, so for a family of 2 small children, 15 mins is a very long time. I ordered an entree with 2 sides, green beans and spinach. Our server said the green beans were discontinued but were still on the on the menu. I added a bowl of chicken noodle but had to remind the server to bring it out after all the food was brought out. She brought out a bowl of beef soup and said they ran out of chicken noodle. I have never been to a Denny's that ran out of chicken noodle at 1pm. Upon paying, they overcharged us for beverages we did not order and that took 15 mins to clear up. I will order carry out next time. I wish their service and staff would improve but I think they don't care because they are the only Denny's in Killeen. read more

Common complaints in previous reviews are about the smell, slow service, and slow kitchen. My experience was positive. There is a smell. My server, Cheri, said it is due to a water leak from a sprinkler that seeped into the building. She also said they are getting new carpet soon. Cheri gave good service and the kitchen was not slow. She checked on me several times. I ordered the Loaded Veggie Omelet. It tasted good and was the proper temperature. My experience met expectations. read more

This Denny's is horrible. Let me start by saying that once you walk in the atmosphere is GHETTO. If you wanna know about Love and Hip Hop come here they will keep you updated. All the females aren't there to work but to joke around for a paycheck and tips. If you want Denny's go to San Antonio not the one here in Killeen. read more

First thing I noticed about this place is that it does not have a counter. Not a bad thing if you don't mind sitting at a table. I ordered the Ultimate Omelet and a coffee. The meal was great toast was perfect and my meal came out literally 4 minutes after I ordered it. The coffee had a burnt taste to it. Denise was my waitress she has a great customer service attitude and is quite a character. With it being so quite this morning I also noticed that the cooks in the back seem to enjoy working here. read more

The waitresses were very kind and apologetic but the restaurant smells like raw sewage. The bathrooms are up front and it is the first smell you get when walking in the door. read more

Our waitress today was terrible! She never gave us her name and had no name tag but she was in the section to the right of the door had a bun in her hair with to much jewelry. It was clear she did not want to be working today and somehow that became by problem. By the time she even came around to take out drink order the 5 of us were ready to order (she had 4 tables). I have a allergy to eggs and every time I have been to this location I have to pay extra for something else but have alway been allowed a substitute. She refused to give me one. I'm pregnant and hungry and forced to have less food. I orders a water...she brought me an orange juice and would not take it back. Non of our order were correct but by the time we had food we said forget lets it and just never come back. This girl is a rude little thing. Freaking waste of my time. read more

I was forced to stay here waiting for a cab for about 4 hours one day after I had checked out of my hotel room at the la Quinta next door. The staff was so nice and friendly. They didn't mind that I waited. After a couple hours and a couple cups of coffee I ordered a club sandwich. Because I'm not usually a fan of Denny's in the first place. It wasn't bad. I enjoyed it, nearly cleaning my plate. My only concern was that the floors were dirty most of the time. Not a bad location. The staff I spoke with were all very friendly and helpful and the food wasn't bad. I probably wouldn't come back here only because I don't like Denny's chains in general, nothing at this location has anything to do with me not coming back. They were great. read more

Here for breakfast...what's that smell?? Lol! Smells like a nursing home bathroom, hmmm..... Other than the weird nursing home bathroom smell that taunted me for a while...the food was good. I had breakfast and the waitress that served me that morning was really nice. The parking lot is a little odd I think. Maybe it's because they are right there with a hotel and off the corner of Hood Street. read more

This place is a joke plain and simple. The service sucks. Doesn't matter when you go in here. The cafeteria lady in third grade serves better chow. Even after the new renovation I thought it would be better, but it still is on the list of places I don't dare visit. It's deplorable and The food is marose. read more

I'm thoroughly impressed by the service and quality I just received at the Denny's. Kudos staff

This restaurant has disappointed me on several occasions; today was no different. My wife and I continue to return hoping that a change for the better has come. We have eaten at Dennys all over the country and have been pleased at the vast majority. The Dennys in Killeen is among the worst I've seen. Today solidified their place as among the worst. We went in after lunch when business is slow. We were met by large hoses on the floor where they were cleaning the carpet. A lawsuit waiting to happen! When we were finally seated it took 15 minutes for the waitress too take our order. She was pleasant but clearly distracted the entire time we were there. My wife and I both had omelets,which were very good. The sides of grits and pancakes were good also. The problem was the customer service was terrible, From a distracted waitress who kept forgetting things and gave us the wrong ticket,to over hearing management chewing out kitchen staff. There was an irate waitress who in no uncertain terms let the intire dining area know she was "pissed" off about having to clean up.our waitress mixed up our ticket with someone else's ticket. The discount we were supposed get , we didn't get it because of a technical issue. read more

Denny's - Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Killeen, Texas

I should have turned around and left as soon as I opened the door to the restaurant and got a whiff of the odor. Still not sure what it was but it wasn't pleasant. It was 8:30 on a Sunday morning. Restaurant was not busy at all. I was seated promptly but it was a while before anyone came to take my drink order or food order. Of the two servers that I had interactions with, one was quite friendly and professional. The other was friendly but very unprofessional. When arriving at the table to take the order, instead of asking me what I would like, she said "talk to me, Momma...." She acted overly familiar for someone I didn't know. Was just kind of uncomfortable. If that had been the extent of the negative, I would have given it three stars/circles. However, the food was disappointing as well. I ordered a "Hearty Skillet" with over easy eggs. Skillet arrived at my table with a nice sized sausage but a very skimpy portion of potatoes and veggies. The eggs were over HARD. When I pointed it out to the server she said "I can see that." Why she didn't see it before she delivered it to my table, I don't know.... And why she didn't offer to do anything about it, I don't know. At that point I just wanted to make the best of it and get out of there. That's when I noticed that the Tropical Pancake Buddies I had ordered on the side were original, not tropical and that they also were over cooked. I ate my over cooked skillet and a couple of the pancake buddies and went to the front to pay. When asked how everything was, I answered "honestly, very disappointing." The cashier replied "okay, that will be $12.47." Not sure why she even bothered to ask how everything was since she either wasn't listening or didn't care. The only redeeming part of this visit to Denny's was the one server but sadly her friendly professionalism wasn't enough to compensate for all of the negative aspects. read more

Arrived at 0530, good service. Ordered one of the fantastic 4 breakfast specials. Food was as expected for Denny's. 4/5 due to the strange odor, overall good experience. read more

Foot traffic is really slow. There is only 3 tables filled mostly with couples. Service was baaaaaaaad, as in after 5-10 minutes have passed, NO one acknowledged us. There was a waitress that walked passed us 3 times to close out tickets, to grab condiments for other customers, to walk to the back kitchen, at this point we were thinking do we seat ourselves? I paid attention because we were standing in front of the register, everyone could see us from both sides of the restaurant, and we can see them. Hence, why we can see the waitress and her every move. I know she could see us, we're literally in her path to the tables, the kitchen, and the register. We waited patiently... Should we have waived service down? Maybe. But I thought if we waited this long, that after she seated us, how much longer would it take for her to get our orders? So we just left because we've never experienced service like this ever from any establishment so far. We felt like we did something wrong. read more

Have been here many times. Tonight was the worst experience. I have never seen such bad customer service. Not sure where the manager is but he or she needs to be here to see this. Employees walking right by people waiting for tables. Never acknowledged them. More worried about whose turn is it instead of making the customer feel comfortable about eating here. At least the food was good read more

I like the food, and the peach smoothie was really good for breakfast in lieu of orange juice. I like all their omelets, and the bread stuff (pancakes, french toast) is also tasty. My only complaint is there is dishrag smell in there sometimes. read more

It took the wait staff over 15 minutes to seat the three of us and another 20 the take our order the rest went downhill from there cold food dirty silver. Don't even ask about the restroom. Just go to IHOP and pray there one there game. read more

I really wish the option to give a negative star was possible bc that's what this place deserves. Went here Saturday morning and it was packed so we left. We came back late at night hoping to get quick service and boy were we extremely disappointed. Came in and waited to be seated for a good 5 mins when the server continued to walk back-and-forth to a table. He could've at least said "I'll be right with you'll" instead of pretending we weren't standing there waiting . He eventually spoke to us and told us to choose anywhere to sit and when we did he rudely told us "aye yo come over here not over there" . Sitting in the area that he designated us we continued to wait for service as he flirted with a woman at the table across from us. Keep in mind he was the only waiter/server on the floor . When he eventually came to cater to us asking what it was we wanted my husband asked for menus . Which should've been given to us a little after we sat down. My husband asked for a caramel coffee and my friend & I ordered water. He came back much later with our water and no coffee. He said he'd be right back with the coffee . He then continued to go back-and-forth to the same table with the woman . Then he disappeared for 25mins to the back and we could here him shooting the shit with the coworkers in the kitchen I stood up and took my son and told my husband and my friend that I was leaving and would wait for them in the car. The later followed when they realized the server wasn't going to be back anytime soon with the coffee. Despicable. If you want quality Customer Service don't ever come here . I highly DON'T recommend it . I respect waiters/waitresses/servers because I was once one but there was no excuse for this guy to be such a terrible server. read more

The floors were dirty and food garbage. I ordered the chicken cheesesteak and it was just mushrooms and green peppers slathered with melted cheese. Hardly any chicken. I did not have to pay. Never again read more

Took SGT Washington there last week for Father's Day. This place is disgusting. Got seated by the kitchen where all you hear is panic and cussing as cooks try to keep up with orders and old waitresses curse in frustration and in their haste bring out half made food on dirty dishes. There is no love in Dennys food. It all tastes like bland pre frozen food. It tastes like kitchen freezer. I was so sad I wasted money there. Had not been to a Denny's in years and I've only been to one nice one in all my life. That one was on Minnesota where they do all good nice. Oh. Wait. There is a good one in Rhode Island too! Save this stop for late night binge drinking wherein you can't taste the quality of the food. I ALWAYS know that at Denny's I will usually have to send the coffee mug back because some ones lipstick will inevitably be on it. This was the case in Killeen. And the server needed his hair done. There's no way he could see what he was doing with those Locs in his face. This location needs a Management and possibly kitchen rehiring. My food was nasty... I sat the whole time just wishing I'd cooked from home and how forty bucks could've gotten us an amazing breakfast. Wash didn't say a word. read more

5 stars for the Mediterranean Grilled Chicken meal. My sides were the grilled Zucchini and the rice. This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The grilled chicken was grilled perfect with butter and garlic and the Bruschetta topping was perfect and paired nicely with the Zucchini and the rice. And I cant forget the garlic bread. Way to go Dennys I will be back! read more

I thought Waffle House was bad but dang. Can't even look at the plate before they bring it to the table. Had to wait forever. Front counter personnel sucks I could just walk out and not even pay if I wanted to. They don't even ask who is next to eat or even to pay. Also why does the place smell like diapers no matter what day or time I come thru read more

I ordered food for takeout as I went to go pick up my order it had this really bad smell but the food was good the service was great very nice people read more

Me and my sister decided to go have lunch (sneak out while the children are at school lol) we went into this location it smelled and was really dirty, we were greeted by the host he was really friendly told us to sit anywhere we'd like, so we sat down we're other guest were the tables,floors and chairs Were just disgusting. We asked could we move to the other side, the waitress gave us a nasty attitude and said their was only one (waitress) on the floor she gave us this nasty look and said "well go ahead I guess" so we seated and looked around it wasn't any better tables,chairs,,food & trash on the floors etc. we were just out done at this point, we gathered our things and said let's get out of here we headed to IHOP not far from the location(Denny's on FortHood Street)we were greeted our waitress was very welcoming took our drink orders gave us time to look over our menus took our orders our food came up quick and fast we are very satisfied and enjoying our brunch(Thanks IHOP)I will NOT BE GOING BACK TO THAT DENNYS-that was one of my favorite places to go for brunch(they need to get it together)I'm officially DONE with DENNYS IN KILLEEN TEXAS ON FORTHOOD STREET‼‼ read more

Best service at a dennys ever! Stacey and DaQuan gave EXCELLENT SERVICE! Thank you so much for the avocado toast!!!

my family and I go to this Denny's ever sunday after church, almost every Sunday for the last three months. Seems like the staff is comsistantly behind, whether it be from a manpower issue or bad work ethic. Everyone from greeter to waiter usually has to have instructions repeated to them. Many times we wait on silverware; this restaurants saving grace is that the food and coffee is consistently good. read more

Sunday morning came for breakfast after church. Didn't appear to be very busy. Extremely disappointed. Food was cold. Service horrible. Had to ask for silverware waited more time food still cold. Table was never pre-bused when we finished eating. Had to endure hearing employees arguing about servers not taking breaks when told. Truly a bad experience. read more

Today I ate there, not long to get seated. The real problem is 1-food was cold,, 2-missing part of what I ordered, why serve a meal if you know that it wasn't warm or hot for the patron. Not to standard seemed under staffed read more
