Got food poisoning .... it lasted a week.! The manager wasn't there so they were doing all sorts of wrong things apparently

I drove here from Village Inn because their pancake machine was broken. I am glad I decided to take the extra time to drive here, instead of buying it at a mart. The pancakes here tasted much better than IHOP, which I go to on occasion for breakfast foods. I was really surprised. It wasn't unbearably dry where I had to drench it with syrup. It tasted kind of like a fluffy, moist cake. It was really delicious even without any syrup. They also didn't forget to give me syrup, whipped cream, and extra chocolates, unlike IHOP who always forgots something. They were very attentive with packing my togo. The service was friendly too. The waitress was busy helping another customer, but she came to greet me and help me check out with my togo order right away. I detracted a star because it smells strongly like cigarette smoke in the entryway, and the smell kind of lingers inside too. read more

Food is ok, not great but not bad. Service could be better but I think they work them too much as the few times we went there (our hotel is right behind it and we got 20% off for staying at the hotel) we seemed to see the same things each time. Order was wrong once, one time our server was doing half the restaurant, one time we were there at 4:30am and our server was the same guy there at 6pm. he said he went home at that morning and was back that afternoon. So they just need a couple more servers I think. Also, I got the strawberry pancake bites (not sure if that was their name but that's what they were ) with a soft cream cheese dip and it was super good! read more

Christmas Eve / Morning. Only place open in town. Understaffed, extremely slow service. The ladies room smells of sick so profusely that it can be smelled strongly in the vestibule. The hostess is oblivious as to why they are so busy (not even half full). One egg over cooked and the other under. read more

This morning I phoned in an order to this Denny's. With my order, I asked for eggs, over medium. I received eggs over hard...EXTRA HARD when you expect runny yolk! Unfortunately this isn't the first time it has happened. The first time, I took pictures of it and took them with me when I returned for the next day, as I have been frequenting this location for years. I showed the manager and he agreed that no parts of those eggs were medium. He then walked away to deal with whatever he was doing before I interrupted him with my dissatisfaction. Rude. I took my order and left. The staff I have dealt with outside of management, whenever visiting this location have been great. However, management is unacceptable. Today when I placed my order, the young lady on the phone who took the order was kind. When I picked up the order, still good. Once I got home and opened my container, I discovered that my eggs were overcooked. I called to make them aware of the situation and was passed over to the manager. When I explained to him my dilemma, he told me he would recook the eggs. I asked if I can just have the whole meal recooked and was told that "I'm not going to recook your whole meal because your eggs were a little over cooked!" I explained to him that it is wrong to only redo part of it, as the rest of the meal will be differently tempered with only new eggs. I further explained that I would find me a different Denny's and post an online review. I am keeping to my word. Some advice, don't lose a frequent customer over hash browns and a biscuit. Mr. Manager, you act like I was asking for steak and lobster. Now, I won't be asking this location for anything! read more

See all

Denny's is great restaurant. I really enjoyed the food and the service was fantastic. The only thing that was not so good was how long our food took to get to us. read more

I had an awesome pancake breakfast with ice cappuccino coffee and it was delicious. My server Julie was fantastic and very friendly. If you need a friendly smile with your breakfast then ask to be seated at her table and she'll be more than happy to accommodate your party. Thanks Denny's. read more

We travel each year to Arizona and always make Denny's our breakfast stop during our stay. John and Amber don't just wait on customers. They take care of them. Big difference! We're very happy with Denny's because of them. read more

My Family and I went to our local Denny's, 1330 s power rd, mesa, Az 85206. There is a waitress by the name of Cassandra there who has waited on us before. She is a chatter box, but this hasn't ever been a problem, even though most of her chatter is about her complaining about her job and her customers she has had through out the day. Cassandra was sharing a story about when she worked at Whattaburger, she had a conflict with a male co-worker who made a comment she to her she took offense too. Cassandra than decided to tell us, "He was jewish too, and made me wish at that moment he had been killed by the nazis in the holocaust." We froze! My husband immediately told her we are jewish! I said the conversation needed to stop now, and her response to me was, "Whatever..." and continued talking. My husband than told her the conversation was done. The person who was actually waiting on us walked over, and pulled Cassandra to the side. She speaks very loudly and there is no doubt others at the Denny's heard her. I've never had a hate speech said to me at Denny's or any other diner. Due to her anti-semitic remark, when she pulled away by her co-worker, we got up and went to pay our check and told our waitress to cancel the rest of our order. Our family member that was with us, at point of check out, noticed clearly a moderate sized cockroach emerging from the check out station to the host podium. I think a call to the ACLU, the local EcoLab technician, the Maricopa health department is in absolute necessity. read more

We had a delightful breakfast: the food was very good and our server was great. I had the Grand Slam: the eggs were light and fluffy, the bacon was cooked just right and the hash browns, sometimes difficult to cook right, were crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. My husband's vegetarian scramble was huge and delicious. We had forgotten how good and consistent Denny's could be. Very good breakfast. read more

Ok I am going to start off by creating the scene for you all. Denny's is never on the list for a breakfast spot, but since we were on a job that was miles away from anything but a Dennys, we decided...What the hell. First off its always annoying being seated at a table between two huge families full of bratty, carpet munching, screaming children when the rest of the entire restaurant is empty..Browsing the menu in which even in the pictures of the food, the food still looks shitty... in rolls a man in a wheelchair with his leg literally sawed off at the knee. It wasnt bandaged or covered, just there for everyone to enjoy over breakfast. Our waitress hobbles over and we are assuming she is pulling a double after working the night shift. I order the 2 egg breakfast and my hubs orders the western omelet. When the food comes it seems not only the plate, my coffee cup and the food are all the same color. There is no color, no flavor, and no life to this food. Basically whatever ihop throws away, dennys recooks and serves it to customers. So we are sitting there basically separating our food with forks, and even only after taking a few bites I wish to God I could force myself to throw up. Slowly my energy is being sucked out of me as my body tries to digest this salted load of crap...when the raging gas begins. I will tell you the only fun reason to go to Denny's, is they have the perfect "Pleather" to really let your farts rip roar and soar. read more

I wish they had a zero this Denny's is horrible the food sucks and the manager Kevin is even worse!! Stupid service nasty food!!!

I really like this Denny's. The staff is friendly and the food is good. Always a good go to place when you want a nice atmosphere. The staff is very hardworking. Just never had an issue there at all compared to some in the neighbourhood read more

The service was fast, friendly and accurate. The food was tasty-hot and the staff seemed to enjoy itself. This was the most efficiently run Denny's I have ever been to. I wish they could all be up to this caliber! I'll be back for sure. read more

Late night dinner after the movies, it was ok. One waitress on a Friday night but she did her best. Waffles were great!

I was sick, I ordered it was late, stale and litterally unedible.

Hey if it's late, real early in the morning, a holiday, or anyother time this place is open. Finally a true 24 hour that doesn't close. Down side it tends to be a bit chilly in there. Bring a jacket. read more

I am normally a huge fan of Denny's, but today I had the worst service I've ever experienced there. Three out of three plates came out with the eggs served cold. They were completely inedible. The gravy on the steak had been left out so long that it had solidified. The only edible part of the meal was the hashbrowns. When checking out I told the host that I had bad service and he didn't seem to care or respond. I am very unsatisfied with the level of service I experienced because I normally have excellent service at Dennys. I have worked in customer service and the food industry, and never in my life did I respond to a customer with indifference.I will no longer be a regular at this location. read more

We have never had a waitress that was sooooo gooood and even kept my coffee full before I could even drink a full cup, plus being so accommodating. She was on top of it at all times. Our food came fast, just an awesome visit. :) The only downfall is that I can''t believe that the bacon is getting thinner and thinner, it''s hard to even get the bacon taste when it is so thin. But our waitress went above and beyond with even asking how we each liked our bacon, crispy or not so crispy!! read more

We ate here and it was great service and of course you cant beet the prices. We love the hash browns and biscuits and gravy for two bucks!

We happened to be in the area and my wife was hungry for breakfast, so we opted to eat at this Denny's. I'd like to preface this by saying that we have eaten at many different Denny's locations and NEVER had an experience like this! It started going downhill the moment we walked in the door. In hindsight, we should have turned around and left. As we were being seated, one of the waiters decided to "rudely" walk between myself and my wife on the way to our table, as if he couldn't be bothered to wait until I could walk by him. It's not like I was lagging a great distance behind my wife. Also, on the way to our table, we walked by a booth that needed to be cleaned (remember this, it comes up again). We were then seated at a booth where someone had spilled chocolate milk on one of the seats and on the floor, so we were moved to the next booth. My wife ordered a soda and I ordered water to drink. My wife's glass had something floating in it, so the waitress took it away and said she would bring her another one. So, we waited and we waited for my wife to get her soda. In the meantime, the waitress dropped off my side salad (while I was in the restroom), but my wife still hadn't received her soda. So, when the waitress dropped off our food, she asked if there would be anything else and that's when my wife asked for her soda. The waitress immediately left and returned with the soda and said she was sorry, but it didn't sound like she really meant it. We shouldn't have had to ask a second time for a soda. By the time our food got to the table, it was obvious that it had been sitting awhile. The cheese was starting to get crusty and the food was lukewarm at best. I happened to notice that someone left a gallon bucket of ice cream on the counter without the lid. The waitress never returned to ask how the food was. She shouldn't have wasted her time bringing a ketchup bottle with our food because there wasn't hardly any in it. The waitress seemed to enjoy talking to a woman who was sitting by herself rather than taking care of the tables. She walked past the booth, I previously mentioned that needed to be cleaned, I can't recall just how many times, but it was a lot. One time, she even picked up a napkin off the table and put it on one of the dirty plates on the table and walked away. She finally cleaned off that table after we were almost done eating and ready to leave. I had finished eating before my wife was done and during that time, the waitress brought us our bill. I would have liked a refill of water, but she never asked. I felt like it shouldn't be my responsibility to ask...she should know to just do it...that's her job after all. When we went to pay the bill, the lady at the counter asked how everything was. My wife mentioned the food being lukewarm and about having to ask twice for her soda. The lady was kind enough to take the soda off our bill. She then asked if we would like the card ran for the amount only and we both said "yes". No tip for that waitress! I'm always for tipping because I know wait staff rely on tips. But when the service was as bad as it was tonight, there will be no tip. The lady apologized and said everything would be better next time. As we turned to walk away, my wife said "there won't be a next time". read more
