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

That is the best place I've ever eaten. At. A manager Twila is fantastic. The hostess Kelly is the best waitress around. I would come back to Denny's everyday. read more

Our server was one of 3 servers in the entire restaurant this evening. They had to clean off a table to seat us, so no one actively cleaning tables. Our poor sever had multiple tables,was cashing out customers, seating tables, answering the phone and running food. The restaurant was totally understaffed and no manager to be found. The food was just ok. I felt bad for our server because he tried and was doing a lot of other jobs. Where was the manager? Great job Anthony! read more

Horrible experience. Literally came in just me by myself @ 4am. Restaurant was dead. Took 45 minutes to get my one dish. I've never waited this long at any restaurant even on a slammed night, let alone fucking breakfast food from Denny's. Unorganized staff and the place seemed to be falling apart. As a former server I can say there's a lot that needs work here. And fast. read more

Had the slam burger delivered through door dash it was amazingly good thank you so much I really enjoyed the burger and fries and will order again at some point. read more

Came in around 530pm, the restaurant was not busy there was maybe one or two other tables seated . Waited 10 mins before a server came to the table . After ordering , I waited another 10 mins for my drinks . The food took over 30 mins and when I received the food it was cold . Terrible service . I will never come back to this establishment. read more

Great food && even better service -especially with a group of 33 at lunch time!! Thank you!

the veggieburger here is good, and there is usually room for a large group for a late night bite

This is a fabulous Denny's! The place is very clean and the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is very welcoming and if you come here with any regularity, you will be greeted by name. The food is always good and the cooks make a special effort to customize your order. I have never had a bad meal here. It gets very busy here, which is a testament to how good of a place it is. It is impossible to have your food in four minutes when there are 70 people dining. read more

Oh, man..... am I really doing this? Yes, I'm reviewing a Denny's. If that's not bad enough, I will admit I've been here more times than I'd like anyone to know. This particular Denny's was unfortunately one of the only late night places to hit up throughout my high school years and beyond in the area. I've been drunk here, I've been hungover here, I've been kicked out, I've been banned for fighting... again? So many memories. The end scene in Pineapple Express where after a crazy night inevitably they end up at a diner and go over the 'I can't believe that happened' 's and 'yeah you really did that' 's.... yeah, pretty accurate. Well.. maybe not as extreme, but you get the point. What would we do without you, Denny's? What. would. we. do... I know for sure I wouldn't be craving those damn onion rings!! What do they put in those things? P.S. The staff are saints for putting up with the ever-flowing riff raff of drunken jerks. read more

I love Denny's, this restaurant is a nice place to go. I do think our waitress was overwhelmed tho, she did her best. She kept checking on us, making sure we was ok. Our food came in a timely manner. The good was very very tasty. The cook on that day was on point and did there job well. I would return and will recommend others. The pricing was within budget and cost efficient. read more

I stopped here this morning after getting off my shift down the road in New Lenox at around 3:00 AM. At the point when I'm writing this, I've been at the restaurant for the past 3 hours. I've sat here with a mug of coffee for the past 2 hours and the waitstaff has been nothing short of amazing. They've come by every now and again to check on me and ask me if I'd like more coffee, but otherwise, I've been left to my devices (most of which have been me working on graphics for work). I'm also very happy because the WiFi here is free and unrestricted. You connect, and you're good to roll. If I need to pull another late night between shifts, this will be my go-to spot again. read more

This place was great for a period of time and I actually gave it 5 stars (which I rarely do), however, my last 2 visits were less than I was expecting based on my previous visits. Two visits ago we ordered shakes and they came to the table about 15 minutes later with the consistency of milk. We asked if they had been sitting or something. The waitress said they were just made and left it at that. We showed the manager who was walking by and he had them remade correctly. There were good after being made correctly (or not sitting for 15 minutes). My last visit was very disappointing though. My food sat ready for at least 7 minutes at the pass and that's after I noticed it was there so it could have been longer. I assume they were waiting on my girlfriend's food. Her food was hot and she said it was seasoned well. My food was just a touch above room temperature. I don't understand when there are 6 other people in the restaurant, how hard it is to have everything ready at the same time. I asked for it to be remade because it was cold. I could hear the waiter asking the kitchen to remake the plate (we were sitting right there). There was some argument and then I heard the Mexicans in the kitchen giving an attitude about the request. I told them to forget making a new plate and just enjoyed my water for dinner. What a huge disappointment. The food did look good but I'm not about to spend $10 for cold food. I really hope they shape up because I really like the food when it's made correctly. read more

This location is clean, the staff is very friendly and the food is great for a local diner!! Love that they're always open too. Fabulous seasoned fries and chocolate shakes! read more

I gotta say, I love that Denny's always has a great menu, with a lot of options and is family friendly which I can't say for most restaurants. The staff here have always been great and attentive for as long as I can remember. read more

Sigh. While the food is good & typical Dennys, the cleanliness is not there. At 6 am on a Friday, you are not that busy...So I think that between the servers & a busboy, someone could wipe down the tables properly: clean behind the salt n pepper, wipe down the actual salt n pepper shakers, wipe down the menus, and the window blinds and the ledges are soooooo dusty!! Come on, guys!! read more

Ridiculous 24 hour place .... i order online for delivery.. told would be delivered at 12:52 only for a worker to call me and say hoods are being cleaned can't do order.. this place is already bad in my book can't imagine going there and trying to get service. This place is not worth it and i best get a refund.. stay away! read more

Well occasionally I don't normally go to Denny's but this was just for a wrestling event but, I'm very mad that they are understaffed during the night and their timing for our drinks took way too long. I honestly liked the food quality but not their attitude towards customers so I suggest not to go here^^~ especially with cheap rotten butter :-: read more

Denny's - VERY UNDERSTAFFED ;-; - Diners Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

This franchise is going down hill fast. Orland square location was horrible so we tried this location. Took 15 minutes for drinks and they were out of milk. How does a breakfast place not have milk and what are they cooking breakfast with. Very disappointed in what was our favorite meal. read more

Samantha was an amazing server and she was my favorite. She dealt with my friends in a great manner and was so nice and funny. Loved her.

It is a Denny's so you know what you are getting. The food is consistent with other Denny's I have visited. Service is OK depending on the day and time but overall it is pretty good. Always a great place for a decent amount of ood at breakfast. read more

Unless I am pretty intoxicated, I can't eat the food here. 1 star sober and I'm sure 4 stars when I am intoxicated. My husband wanted this place and I was designated driver. He ate a veggie wrap and liked it. I did soup, but I think it was comparable to a salt lick. read more

Following an interesting evening at 191 South, a friend and I headed to Denny's down the street to relive some of our pre-21 days (you know, when we couldn't go anywhere except 24-hour diners). It was around midnight, and though the place was staffed, several tables were unbussed and dirty. Our server was alright - satisfactorily friendly - and the food was typical. I was a bit shocked that I was charged extra for seasoned fries. Shows how often I eat at Denny's - when did they start doing that?! My friend and I each ordered burgers + fries, but one of us had a LOT more fries than the other, so things weren't consistent. The ODDEST thing, though, was a patron who was seated alone by the front of the restaurant. He slept on and off, snoring loudly at times. It was clear - judging by the crusted-over leftovers on his plates - that he had been there for at least a few hours. The staff (you know, instead of cleaning or bussing tables) stood a few feet away at the register area, looking at him and talking about him loudly enough for other patrons to hear. Now, I'm not sure what the protocol is for a sleeping/snoring patron, but that was pretty rude for staff to do. On top of it, some jerkbag patrons were snapping pictures of themselves with the snoring guy. I felt bad for him; he was being mocked and laughed at, and Denny's staff just stood by. We were there for over an hour ourselves, and when we were walking out the door, a staff member WAS trying to rouse the patron. I overheard the staff member asking the guy if he wanted a cab called. Gee, ya think?! Should have done that hours ago. Oy. read more

We loved it shrimp poor boy. Great batter on the shrimp. Good sauce. The rice with corn and blackbeans were Enough to share. Drinks good the bar was like a vacation bar. Good for a cold damp night it will brighten your spirits. Christine the bar tender took good care of us. Will be back. read more

Nothing special it was Denny's! The server Erin made everything worthwhile she was very pleasant. There were a lot of teenagers there for such a late hour. They ended up receiving way more attention from some of the waitstaff than what seemed necessary with some of the young ladies even going so far as to sit in the group. The manager acted as if he didn't want me to use the $5 Yelp check in discount. Total lackluster experience, but again..,it's Denny's. read more

I was in town for the weekend intending a private training class and this establishment came highly recommended. They were only delivering due to COVID. My party and I ordered on two separate days. The first order they forgot part of our order and the second day my order had hair it in. Unfortunately, I wouldn't order from here again. read more

For a Denny's, this is perfection. It is exactly what you want out of a cheap 24/7 diner. Food came out hot, on time, and correctly. Waitress was polite and constantly refilled our waters. The booth was clean and the environment was rockin' with 1950's jams (which is a pleasant surprise for a large chain). Highly recommend! read more

I've been a regular customer at Denny's for years and lately it has been terrible. Today, I place a door dash delivery order through them. I placed it at 9:34am, expected delivery was 10:15. Around 10:30 I received a message from the dasher saying they are very busy and it will be a little wait. No problem! I was thankful the dasher reached out! Then, a few minutes later I received another message from the dasher stating they haven't even started on my order and now they are claiming they never received my order. Which, I'm sorry, that's impossible, how would the dasher be there waiting for 30mins without an order being placed? I tried calling the restaurant multiple times, they wouldn't answer the phone. Talk about terrible customer service! I felt terrible for the dasher, sat there waiting for 45 plus minutes and I wasn't even able to give I'm a tip! My fiancé went up to the restaurant and no one would even look at him for assistance. They just kept ignoring him. I will not be dinning in, or placing any to go orders with Denny's from here on out. Terrible service and rude staff members, that don't take responsibility for their mistakes! read more

As Denny's go this has always been the best around. But not today! Short staffed when we went in around 4 pm. Quickly they brought our drinks. We could see the problems & we're very patiently waiting until another couple came in. Sat near our table. Like us the got their drinks right away. Then a server came to take their order. No one asked us. It's now 5 pm on a Saturday night so we grabbed Steak & Shake to bring home! You need a better Manager than the one that was there tonight. He's been there a long time. But he didn't handle your restaurant well today. We used to come in a lot. read more

First time here and I loved it. Service was great and our waiter was amazing! Love it. I'm from Chicago just came out here running errands and I'm so glad I stopped in for their limited time $5.99 super slam special. Very yummy! read more

Although I enjoyed my food from Denny's I didn't enjoy my time. I'm from California visiting the area and From the moment we walked in a server turned to look up and she said noooopppeeee not in my section! I was extremely annoyed by this comment. What made her say this?? Could I give her the benefit of the doubt and say maybe she was to busy for another table ? But her choice of words were horrible.. was it because we were a black family walking into a Denny's followed with predominately white people .. not sure but that's how I felt and it bothered me the entire time we were there. Our server wasn't bad but he wasn't good either he seemed overwhelmed. I caught him making a joke about our order with the same lady that said she didn't want us in the section. I wonder did she assume we weren't gonna tip .. so much about this visit pissed me offer I wouldn't recommend nor will I come here again when I am in the area in the future. read more

Food was great and so was Emily F's service! Basically every time I come here I get different things. I've had it all! This time I got steak and eggs. Steak was med when I asked for med rare but I didn't mind that to much. Enjoyed the server Emily. She was very funny with small talk. Hope she stays around here! read more

Denny's is awesome! I like going there almost every birthday because it's basically my own tradition. The food is amazing there, the staff is pretty friendly. I've went here a LOT of times to eat, and never have been disappointed. read more

Just about the worse service ever! Food was terrible never been at such a horrible location! Would rather eat out of a dumpster

One time a waiter took orders for a table, then afterwords, she left the restaurant. Also the food took a long time to get to our table. We had to wait an hour to get it. read more

We came for dinner and at 6:52 they are out of salad. We were told the manager doesn't like to order a lot and the order comes in on Tuesday- tomorrow. I was actually looking forward to the salad. Very disappointed. It took 20 mins just for our order to be taken and it wasn't a full restaurant. We asked about our order after waiting 35 mins only to find out one order was sitting and waiting while my dinner was given to someone else in error so a new one was being made. The food seemed to decline in quality as the zucchini was very greasy. 50 mins after having our order placed my skillet arrived. It will be a while before coming back. read more

Once a month I get my haircut at the BEST place anywhere around (Go, Chop Shop!). And (Perversely) I keep hoping the WORST place for breakfast anywhere around will surprise me (Dennys). The food is actually not the worst part of things.... sullen service, alternating with LOUD, CHATTY, OBNOXIOUS service, is. When you go there, and you should, if only to prove to yourself these places exist, start banging on the table and demanding service IMMEDIATELY. If you don't, you WILL sit there for a half hour with NO service at all. Then, if you're in Gina's section you will be BURIED in grab and ridiculously paced "How you doin'? Kin I get you anythin'?" every 30 seconds. Super annoying, and NOT good service. read more
