This location impresses me when we go. The service is good and the workers are very kind. The food is quick and very good. I think their burgers are so good and the kids love the breakfast options. read more

My wife and I visit this establishment twice a week never had a problem. Today we had to sit ourselves and it took 17 mins before we got a menu. We ordered the sampler which came timely. The waiter took our order. But when received it my order wasn't ready yet. When it did come out it was cold I told the waiter about it I ordered French toast slam the eggs, bacon and sausage were cold. When he came back I only received eggs. First time I ever had a horrible experience 10/27/25 read more

Love the food services everyone is friendly and fast service! Adorable it quite and pleasant music.

I order door dash regularly. When it's morning or afternoon, everything seems to be fine. I order late night, a lot. It's is never, ever correct. Never has the correct items, always missing my cheesecake, and food is cold and has sat for a very long time. Sometimes it's door dash that is the problem, but missing items and wrong food is not. Very disappointing read more

I came in at 4pm on Saturday, June 7th, and from the moment I walked through the door, I was met with warmth and kindness from one of the most incredible servers I've ever encountered--Elias. On a gloomy, rainy day when everything felt a bit heavier, his energy lit up the entire room. Elias had a rare kind of spirit--genuine, uplifting, and magnetic. He didn't just serve us; he truly cared. When it came to swapping veggies on a burger, he didn't rush or sigh--he listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure every single person in my party felt heard and valued. It's not often you leave a restaurant remembering the name of your server, but Elias made such an impact, I'll never forget him. He's the reason I'll be returning to this Denny's, and I sincerely hope next time I see him, he's wearing a management badge--because he's already leading with heart. read more

Typical good Denny's location. I can usually depend on most Denny's locations, especially when it comes to breakfast. Ordered the 'Lumberjack Slam' and it was made as great as usual. The breakfast choices on the menu are quite good and I generally prefer Denny's to IHOP anytime. Staff was friendly and waitress was attentive. Plenty of parking and a good amount of seating. All in all a good and reliable option. read more

Food is always what I expect and the wait staff are great in ensuring my time there is pleasant!

I'd love to give a shout out to Gillian! She was very kind on the phone. I ordered a very small order on DoorDash, called and asked if they didn't mind waiting to make my order because my driver is taking a really long time lol, but she was very kind and respectable on the phone. I'll definitely be coming back to this location just for her and her amazing service! read more

The food was horrible, I found a fingernail in my grand slam. I has terrified of what I bit into. I also saw somebody get arrested just outside the restaurant. Would not recommend to any CIVIL people like me The waiter smelled of horrible cigarette smoke, I swear I have second hand smoke now. They also were rude the whole time, for example, when I asked for more syrup, they rolled their eyes and said "you look like you don't need any more food in your system" As a person horizontally challenged, I felt flabbergasted. I immediately stormed out with my LUKEWARM milkshake. read more

Normally I don't leave reviews but whoever made my veggie burger on Fri June 28,2024 did an amazing job thank you

Your experience here definitely depends on who you have as a server. Whenever we are seated with Raed, the service is flawless, the food comes out quickly, and everything arrives as it was ordered. Unfortunately, on our most recent trip on 7/4/13, we were seated in Pat's section. Pat seems equally overwhelmed whether there are 200 customers in the restaurant, or 10. We ordered the patriotic red, white and blue pancake puppies to start and it took about 15 minutes for them to come out and they were chewy and overcooked (or maybe just sat around too long before being brought to our table). I assume that Pat doesn't understand the phrase "to start" as the entrees came right on the tail of the pancake puppies. That is quite possibly my biggest restaurant pet peeve. In most cases, I actually order an appetizer and "pretend" to not know what I want for the main course to force the space between appetizer and man course. We did that here but our plan was foiled by Pat, the incompetent waitress. My husband's order was incomplete, Pat noted that the pancakes weren't done yet. He finished the food he was brought and we were basically twiddling our thumbs while Pat bussed tables and wandered around aimlessly. I flagged her down and asked about the pancakes and it was clear she had completely forgotten. She ran to get them, never offered coffee refills and generally secured herself the exact 15% tip. I won't ever forego a tip since it is in bad taste...but servers can get 30% or more with me if they do a good job. That will probably never be the case for Pat. If Denny's wants to be "America's Diner", I think they need to work on service a little bit. I don't expect the food to be 5 star, but I think timing so that the whole meal can come out together should be pretty easy for line cooks who do this all day long. We will go again but definitely ask to sit in Raed's section when he is there, and avoid Pat at all costs!!! read more

No employees had name badges, waitress didn't introduce herself. I learned about 2 employees personal business as I waited for my meal as they sat at the counter chatting away. FOOD WAS AWFUL. Bacon cold, hashbrowns DISGUSTING and the biscuits taste like cardboard. read more

After a long day of swimming my cousin and i decided to get something to eat.. we came here as we have done several times before (without issue) until tonight, we both ordered the the strawberry crepes with were over cooked and greasy and with out the strawberries, I ordered 2 alacarte sides of bacon ( see picture of the menu that shows how many pieces) i received 1 plate with 2 pieces on it when i questioned the "waitress " she said you didn't ask for 2 sides my cousin spoke up and said " yes she did" the waitress came back with another plate with 2 pieces so i asked her when did the side order go from 4 to 2 she said it's always been that way since a the 2 years she has worked there.. told her to look at her menu... by this time we asked to speak to a manager.. her reply " there isn't one on duty" she went out back to get the cook as she was walking back e heard her say " you deal with them i'm not going back out there " the "cook" denied that they were hard boiled eggs. then went and got the receipt for the bacon which said 2 ala carte bacon ( again look at the menu aka cart side of bacon 4 pieces) we went to register paid for what was eaten English muffin, orange juice and the strawberry pancake hush puppies... what a waste of money for those items .... I order online and have eaten in here previously but never again read more

We recently had breakfast at Denny's in Middletown. it was excellent. I had a cheese and sausage omelette, hash browns and a biscuit. My husband had two eggs scrambled and sausage and hash browns. we both enjoyed our meals which were cooked to perfection and served to us by a very friendly and courteous waitress. read more

I would not recommend going here. The food smelled fishy (we didn't order any seafood) and I could not eat the breakfast I ordered. My son could not finish his either, something tasted wrong with the sweet crepe he ordered. Service was great however and my son finished his Oreo shake. read more

My waitress was very kind and always came prepared for anything for example when we were leaving she had brought 4 cups because she wasn't sure if we had finished are drinks we had but it's the fact that we didn't even have to ask that I was happy about The reason I didn't give this place a 5 star review is the toast wasn't very good they hade but way to much butter on it They also came out with egg beaters instead of real egg without asking me which one I wanted Then when they came out with the new real eggs they were scrambled by the way They were super runny But other than that my experience was great and I loved it By the way the waitresses name was raven read more

I placed a door dash order and specifically indicated "NO PEPPERS", as I'm allergic to them. My order was loaded with peppers. I double checked the receipt which clearly indicated no peppers. I called and spoke to a manager after my order arrived and was told it would be replaced next time we called. I called about a month later to make good on that promise and got the run around. I was told that the manager would call right back... spoke to the manager almost 10 hours later. He promised to replace the order. When I called again today, to have it replaced, I was told that the manager said" he's washing his hands of that, and to call door dash because they brought the wrong order". This was not a door dash issue. The restaurant clearly repaired it wrong! Now... they don't want to replace it or reimburse me for my wasted money! I will never spend another dime there! Fucking crooks! read more

Came here for the first time to get breakfast with my boyfriend for his birthday and the server named Bridget comes over and doesn't even greet us. She only asks what we want to drink and then leaves. She comes back with the drink , slams it on the table and leaves without even asking us if we were ready to order. Seeing this attitude made me go up to the the hostess to change our table. Our second server was Michelle who was very sweet and made us feel welcome.. This review would've gotten 5 stars if it was not for the unpleasant experience with the first server. read more

This place is truly spectacular. I can tell you with 100% certainty I met the love of my life here: Brenda. That was her name. Plaid skirt, fishnets, a turtleneck crop top. She walked in looking like a million bucks. My boy Scooter convinced me to go talk to her. I'm a feminist so I'm not going to say I manned up I'm going to say I overcame my fears of talking to her. I saw her again the next day. She was in a roaring 20s flapper dress and slick brown cow boots. The mud on her shoes was fresh. Anyway, the hard boiled eggs here are fan-fucking -tastic. Would definitely recommended this place for anyone looking for a cool place to kick back after work and grab a slice of bacon or two. read more

I've been here about 4 times or more and every single time they have great service and the food is perfect! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great meal! read more

Great food! Great delivery! Whenever my son wants French fries, Denny's is the place to go

For starters me and my fiancé got the boneless wings for an appetizer. The wings weren't really that bad I mean how can you mess up wings. The waitress was very kind and provided wonderful service. She asked us it we wanted any sauce and we chose ranch. I may be crazy but I thought ranch was a liquid not a paste. I smelled it and it didn't have a scent so I'm not sure what it was but I didn't want to take any chances. I ordered the all American burger. My fiancé ordered the Nashville hot chicken melt. The bun on my burger was soggy and it didn't really have any taste. The cheese is super stringy and also doesn't really provide my tastebuds with any flavor. My fiancé's melt was burnt as far as the bread goes. The chicken had a hard shell but the inside was also soft and had a lot of cartilage. Other than the food I'd say the customer service was great. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

I wanna start off by saying I've never had a waitress ask me my drink order with a mozzarella stick hanging out of her mouth... first time for everything! Food was decent... kinda felt uncomfortable hearing the wait staff fight over who is taking our table (in a bad way) it's like no one wants to work. I'm sure she will be upset when she realizes the service giving was only worth a 5% tip. read more

Okay, now when I go to a Denny's, do I expect fabulous food? HECK no. But I do expect well-priced food at a very cheap cost. In the past, I've had "Meh" experiences with Denny's, but I keep returning mainly because it's a comfortable place to take my kid (cheap as well). I have noticed recently that they have improved in many ways and my most recent visit is the reason I'm writing a review today. My daughter turned three on Saturday (8/10) and she wanted to go because she loves mac and cheese, with yogurt and the ability to sit and color while she waits for her food. I know it seems like a common thing in a lot of restaurants, but it is what she wanted to do. When I told them it was her birthday, the waitress and the manager on duty really went out of their way to make our food arrive FAST and make her feel special. Her mac and cheese comes out meh. It's obviously reheated in a microwave, but the quality didn't matter because they made her feel special. The last few times I've gone, they've hired some VERY polite waitresses and made sure I continuously got my free refills, in a to-go-cup if necessary. Food always arrives quickly and I always see some "regulars" who joke around with the waitstaff, so it's always a friendly environment for me. Since I saw a lot of negative reviews (which I do believe are fair for their respective dates), I have noticed an improvement in their waitstaff and I hope they read this and improve their food as well. read more

Understaffed have been here almost two hours waiting for food, check etc . My time is valuable too.

For starters it's a chain restaurant. The service sucked. I was with seven other people and we all got our food served at different times and by different people, even though we were the only ones there. Someone even served my boyfriend while he was on his cell phone. They didn't have a lot of menu items and skimped out on bacon in their maple bacon sundaes, which the waitress said was to not overpower the flavor and give us bellyaches (aka they had no more bacon). Definitely wont go back. read more

What can we say about Denny's? Let us start with the fact that the only reason The Middletown Dining Club was here in the first place was to get the promotional "Hobbit" items. But looking past that, this restaurant is definitely priced to eat. Let's look at the special menu. The options are nearly limitless with over 5000 ways to order a hobbit slam. If you want to get the trading cards, and let's be real, who doesn't, your best bet is definitely breakfast food. If your true desire is something like "The Ring Burger," a burger flame broiled in the fires of mount doom, this is not. However, the Bilbo Berry Smoothy was "awesome," says another member of the club. Beyond the hobbit experience, the Denny's is pretty much what you would expect. Family friendly, etc, etc. A safe option for breakfast or late night eating. Sincerely yours, The MDC read more

Denny's in Middlefield felt very unsafe. People allowed in without masks to walk right by us - including mother in law who had chemotherapy. Food was ok, even if waitress forgot some things. We have always had great service here pre-covid. Would not go back again. I know people are afraid to confront anyone not wearing masks, but it puts the other patrons at risk. read more
