I was in the area and needed food. Honestly, Denny's would not have been my first choice. However, it was across the street from Mokena Animal Clinic, where I had just dropped off my cat for a dental procedure. I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality of my breakfast; very tasty and the food arrived *piping* hot. I had to wait for my breakfast to cool off a bit before I could eat. The potato flavor was really good. I'm not a big fan of eggs and only have them when I am out, but my scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. Well done, Denny's! Thank you. read more

Denny's - Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

Stopped at Dennys for dinner as the breakfast crew has stepped up their game. We were the only two people in the entire place and they had 5 people working including the cook. Once our food came out, that was the lady we saw of our server Pam. She went and sat with two other employees at a booth and never once checked on us. My omelet and hash browns were burnt and nasty. Finally after finishing the meal I had to call out to her to bring me my check. Needless to say she got NO tip. Before you bleeding hearts start, had she made the attempt to be attentive she would have gotten a decent tip. I am not rewarding someone too busy chit chatting with coworkers at a booth away from the view of her customers. If you're going to be in the service industry, remember, tips are not required and you should work for them by simply being attentive and available to the customers you want a tip from. The manage at this Dennys needs to work on hiring and monitoring their staff. read more

All of our entries were served ice cold. It was a sham as they were all delicious. The server dumped a full class of soda on our guests lap. read more

Oh the steak was unfortunately overcooked and a bit chewy. Otherwise it seems like everything else has been delicious and improved. The delivery is definitely efficient. read more

Stood at the door for a bit, when they were not busy. Once seated, service was good. Food came out quick. Store needs a good cleaning (windows/glass doors). read more

Denny's - Stack of Pancakes- 7/10 - Diners Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

Let's start off by saying obviously this is a denny's, it's a chain diner, food expectations shouldn't be extremely high. Personally, I love the occasional trip to Denny's, and I always end up coming around the same time of year: Pumpkin Season™. The pecan pumpkin pancakes are delicious. The service was exceptional as well. Our waitress, I believe her name was Christina, was very friendly and helpful. Despite the fact that we came at 10am on a Sunday, the service was very speedy and the building was clean. read more

Terrible experience on St. Patrick's Day, 2026. The prices on the special menu were so inflated. Then they kicked us out before we were ready to leave even though we were eating and drinking plenty. We came early to get a good table and to listen to a particular musician. The six of us were told to leave when he just got started after spending $600 on food and drinks.I was in shock over the rude treatment by the management in this restaurant. I will not be back!! read more

Only went there once, it seemed dirty to me, my arms stuck to the tablecloth. My breakfast was cold, everything was covered in hollandaise sauce, it was way too much, I didn't eat it, it grossed me out. read more

I won't EVER come here again. I ordered two sides of bacon, sausage links with cheese, two orders of hash browns and two orders of toast with butter on it. No butter on the toast. Cheese not melted on the links. The links are as big as my pinky finger! Two strips of bacon is an order here. My two orders of hashbrowns looked like one! Incompetence and no pride in its purest form read more

the kitchen forgot my food and i had to watch all my friends eat. poor waitress was telling the chefs for 40+ minutes and they never made my food until we were about to leave and it was literally just meat on a bun.. none of my sides none of the toppings. will never come here again read more

I love the service and the staff at this location and have been eating here for years but lately the quality of food has gone down tremendously. The hash browns potatoes are different. They taste like shredded potatoes mixed with shredded plastic. Totally inedible. I had pumpkin pecan pancakes and they were awful too. I think they're using a different batter. Anyway I now have a terrible stomach ache. I think they also bought the Hickory Hills location because their potatoes are gross as well. I guess I'm going to have to start cooking at home on weekends or find another place to eat. I'm not gonna pay to eat low quality food. The new owners need to read these reviews and go back to the way it was ran before and stop skimping on quality . read more

I'm actually sad about our meal. We stopped here since we were on the go. They had one waitress working the entire restaurant, and two cooks, unfortunately because of this we waited a little over an hour for basic food. Pancakes and eggs, and a sandwich. The quality of food wasn't what it use to be. The bread was tough, and they messed up our order of eggs. The only decent food was the fries. At least the diner was clean. read more

I wouldnt even give them a full star! This was torture!!! Sure, this was Christmas. The wait was 30min. No problem. The place was filled wall to wall. Understood. 7 people in my party. We were all patient. We were together, hungry, but we we looking forward to time together-for the holiday breakfast/lunch. We ordered fairly fast. I ordered first. And when the food came- everyone's food came, BUT MY FOOD. I had eggs, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns. Nothing major. Everyone else had nachos, steak, burgers, skillets... all things that would take LONGER to cook. My daughter never recieved her pancakes. My cousin never received her pancakes. So I sat, I waited. I waited. I sat. And then I got up and asked for a manager. I explained that everyone at my table was almost done eating, and I had yet to get my food. She made multiple excuses for my food not being on my table as everyone else enjoyed their meals. She said to me "well maybe the food dropped and they had to remake it, maybe one of the burners went out in preparing the food, maybe it hasnt been cooked yet..." And I am thinking to myself "REALLY MA'AM!!?? ALL THESE EXCUSES AND NO EGGS!???? As we get the check, I told the server(Matthew) that we never got the 2 orders of pancakes. I asked for the manager once again. She was clearly agitated with me now. Much chit chat later about their negligence, she took my food off the bill. I get to the register to pay for my bill, I utilized my $5 off from YELP And the young man(Zack) proceeded in cashing me out. I noticed that the total amount for my bill had changed from what my printed recipe stated. I shared this with him. He didnt know why. It was different by over $10. Then noticed my bill came up as someone elses bill. She couldnt figure out how to fix it(the manager) had to refund the difference in cash to me!! I was completely OVER IT. The sad part is that I frequent this place. I have had small hiccups. But today was a freaking nightmare of service and accountability. The attitude regarding the errors were nasty- and THAT is why the review is as bad as their attitudes and service!!!!! No matter if it's a regular day, a holiday... doesnt matter. All service should be given well. Excuses dont fix the issues. It will he a while before I come back. This was truly horrible today. Shame to the manager. Shame! read more

I was very disappointed in not receiving a response to my letter to this, my local Denny's or from their corporate office, requesting they consider using decomposable carry out containers. Sustainability should be valued by the restaurants we choose to support with our business. Denny's is still using styrofoam for carry out meals and/or "doggie bags". 3 million tons of styrofoam are produced each year in the U.S. and no meaningful recycling exists. read more

Had a really bad experience at this place. They were so understaffed that it took a really long time for someone to take our drink order. Some of our orders were not prepared the way we requested. It got to a point that they turned away people that came in after us. I have no plans on coming back. read more

Worst food ever, I ordered curbside pick up. I picked up my Brisket breakfast sandwich and when I opened it I discovered it was burned, charbroiled. I was so disgusted. I would not even give that to my dogs. I took some photos to show the manager instead of taking back the food because I was so gross out. I went to see the manager in the evening of 01/05/2024 @ 7:30 PM all she said was sorry I don't know who was the cook for the morning shift. I told her I did not care for another meal, I went because I wanted her to write-up/discipline the cook. I wouldn't be surprised if the cook was high or something. THE DENNYS IN MOKENA IS NOT RECOMMENDED , I HAVE PICTURES AS EVIDENCE. read more

Great food, great service, I love the new menu items and vegetarian options! Clean, service was efficient. I would love to give 5 stars, this Denny's has always been great, I used to crawl in here in my 20's after concerts. All was lovely until... we go up to pay and I try using the $5 check-in coupon from Yelp and the guy checking us out was literally arguing with me bcuz there was no barcode to scan so he can't accept it. HUH?!! This has never happened to me. I let my server know when we sat down that I checked in and there was a coupon. Look, guy, I don't make the rules! Denny's clearly has an agreement with Yelp for the bleeping coupon on my phone!! It was 1am, we had been driving for a while and had a long day, I was tired and wanted to go home. I guess lucky me that he found a $5 coupon to scan. Ughh! read more

We needed some breakfast food for dinner - so we hit the Mokena, IL Denny's and it was great. The food was hot and the prices were less than some local breakfast joints. The best part about our experience was our server Jazmin. She is the happiest person and was super attentive when we needed extra napkins or drink refills, which seems simple, but too many restaurants ignore the little things. She made us laugh and helped make a menu substitution with ease. When we go back, we will ask to sit in Jazmin's section! read more

Very unorganized no hostess to seat you at the time stood in line behind a large party for 20 mins if a Hostess was there could have taken smaller groups like a party of 3..the service could have been better very Short staffed and it showed on the faces of the staff along with the attudies very one was doing multiplejobs . The food order came out wrong but after waiting all that time felt it would take forever to get remade. Got to point we had to ask for the check because the server was so busy trying to take care of the other tables read more

Denny's - Philly Cheesesteak Omelette - Diners Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

ordered take out for five, it was burnt tenders, horrible omelet and hash browns, etc.. never again and a waste of money

This is the place you have to avoid, I ordered a turkey wrap that was a mess from the start. I could not eat it so I sent it back for something else. I found out that I would be charge for what I sent back. I want to talk to the manager after 30 minutes he came over just to let me know that I was wrong for sending my food back and he will still be charged. So if you don't want to have and augment with the manager about food that was done wrong avoid this place. read more

Food is not good here. Service is always slow and the dennys has really gone down over the years.

This particular Denny's restaurant is well run. The servers and hostess are always pleasant and efficient. The food quality and taste is consistent. The tables and seats are always clean. I should add that this location is pretty quiet. I usually see older people dining here, couples and a few people who are dining solo. Not too many children or large groups. Delicious coffee!!! Definitely try one of the "Slam" breakfast combos if you want more for your money. Those are $7.99-$9.99. Some include juice and coffee. Food comes fast and servers are never too busy to attend to customers' needs. You will want to leave a tip... If you dine here a few times, expect to be remembered. In 2017 that is a nice touch. At least to me ;) read more

I know they are short staffed but I know they have a manager on duty to help!Ridiculous! read more

Ugh. Ok so if you read my other posts you know I am fair and honest. But I just had to vent over this...so today, Friday, June 4, 2021 we visited this Denny's. We arrived around 6:15 pm. Hardly any cars in the lot so we thought we'd be seated right away. There was a guy with two small kids ahead of us. My hubby and I see that there are plenty of tables including booths with those high partitions in between. Wait time we were told was 10-15 minutes. Why? Plenty of seating more than half of the US is ""vaccinated "" and we can't get seated. Illinois has opened up and we still are unable to enter without a ***mask*** and can't sit near other customers. Why? I thought the whole reason for these free jabs was to get back to normal. I was very disappointed in this Denny's and I have no idea how these places will make it with only half of the tables being used and served. read more

Here's the thing, Dennys is easily the greatest place to eat breakfast at. It's affordable, fast, and consistently good food. I just had a server, I believe her name was Kailey. Did an incredible job, brought out the food super quick, and was really friendly. Best server I've had in a while. read more

If you are into pain and abuse, stop at this Denny's in Mokena, IL. Hopefuly they will take your order within 15 minutes of being seated. But if the server does not arrive timely, and you attempt to bring your concern about an incorrect beverage order to a person alleged to be a manager, don't be surprised if the server begins to call you names. Sure you can file a complaint on line with what is purported to be a corporate website. But the corporation has no authority to address any concern as this location is a francehise owned by David J. Kahre, a corrporate board officer. And as ironic as this may sound, he is a Limited Liability Corporation doing business as Pride Restaurants, LLC. Given the lack of customer service, the only vice he needs to be proud of is a superb job of failing to ensure a proper restaurant envirronment for customers. If you are interested you may be able to catch Mr. Kahre at his purrported business address: 7627 W 95th St, Hickory Hills, IL 60457. If he is not available you can leave your regards with an Antoinette, a person who claims to be the Human Resources Manager. But be careful as she may trump up some claim of a civil or criminal wrongdoing. read more

This is a typical Denny's with all the usual things on the menu. It's open 24/7 and it serves all the meals on the menu all the time, the same as other Denny's I've been to. There are always several vegetarian options available at Denny's. They actually make one of my favorite restaurant veggie burgers--ask for the Boca Burger. You can also substitute a Boca patty on any of their speciality burgers. Denny's is what it is... This one won't let you down, and I ate here twice while we were in Mokena, because it's fast, convenient, and always open! read more

The family loves to come here for breakfast, or dinner. My kids will eat the pancakes for breakfast or dinner and it's Denny's so you can!
