Edit: came in to eat again and had another great experience! Workers did a great job. It's great watching young kids put in that much effort for their work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was quieter this time and loved that they kept on cleaning. It was very clean and I can see why. Entry and bathroom too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Another great experience here. New menu items were also very tasty! I recommend giving them a try. Unique and delicious. Absolutely loved eating here! It was rather busy but the server never let it show. I got the Brisket melt. The cheese was perfectly melted. The brisket was flavorful and tender. Sandwich was perfectly toasted. Tried fried potatoes instead of fries and they were very good. Perfectly crispy and a good portion. My daughter loved the birthday sprinkle pancakes and sausage. We also got coffee and hot chocolate, both were fresh and hot. The server really made her feel special, which made my momma heart happy. She was happy to add the sprinkles and whip cream my daughter requested on her hot chocolate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was also very clean. Even the entry way carpets were spotless! Between tables the server was cleaning, which was refreshing. The restrooms were also clean, smelled good, and looked freshly mopped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you! Lots of laughter and full bellies in our group. read more

Denny's - Brisket melt - Diners Near Me - North Branch, Minnesota

As we head to Duluth we always stop at Denny's Northbranch - always good food and great service. This time I was playing the claw machines - as I always do - and I overheard a couple employees talking about their pay checks bouncing and that this wasnt their first time. They said they didnt know what to do, they even said they heard the dishwasher had his check bounce too. I am concerned if this is happening why and what is wrong that they are bouncing. This is wrong and should never happen. Denny's we pay our bill everytime we eat there and that means that your employees should be getting their paychecks too and NOT bouncing. I pay my bill pay your employees!!! read more

I took my kids out for lunch. They ordered the kids pancakes and sausage and bacon. Their meals arrived fast and hot. The sausage was cooked perfectly and so was the bacon. I ordered the nachos and although it came hot and was ok I would skip ordering these again due to not enough meat and it really lacked flavor. We will return and order items from their menu that fit their brand like breakfast and burgers. Our server was friendly and never let our drinks go dry. read more

The service was excellent. The food on the other hand was over done. Sausage patty was actually hard hasbrowns were burnt on one side raw on the other. read more

We enjoyed our meal at Denny's in North Branch. The service was great. Because I am gluten free, I was given fruit and hash browns instead of the pancakes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great with a 70's style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was real clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was right near the freeway. There was ample parking. We will definitely go there again! read more

Not that anyone cares. The north branch location has horrible curbside service. I have been here multiple times . No dedicated parking for curbside, servers dont watch for customers, phone doesn't work it goes straight to a fast busy sound meaning phone is not in service. Same issue every time I go. After 2 years of going here I am done with them read more

I had a sandwich and it was very delicious. My waitress was very good at her job. We will be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

sat ourselves after they stared at us in a empty restaurant for 5 min. [[HIGHLIGHT]]than proceeded to sit a group of smelling cig smokers next to our kids despite again, being a completely empty place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A .50 upcharge was added to my order when I didn't order eggs. The hasbrowns were cold. You get very little for what you pay for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restuarant is very dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Disappointing because Dennys is not usually like this. ​ read more

Rating should be 2 stars, but giving 3 stars only because of our server, Brenda. We stopped here for breakfast on our way to International Falls, MN. It was right after their breakfast rush and tables still needed cleared. Short staffing is an issue across the nation and it is the same story here. The manager and cooks were loud and grumpy. Thankfully, we had a friendly, hard working waitress, named Brenda. She smiled even though the other staff working , were grumbling and complaining about customers, each other and food order mixups. These are challenging times for restaurants. We waited a bit for our food, but it came and was fine. It's typical Denny's food. The classic diner style is nice, but this one could use some TLC and repairs. Restroom fixtures were broken and sitting on the floor. I do feel staff were overwhelmed and stressed. read more

I liked the Dinner look at this location. We were great as soon as we walked in and seated. Service was very Fast and even more Friendly. Like most places today they were shorthanded with only 2 ladies working the whole dinning room area. But they sure were husseling and did a outstanding job. I couldn't have been happier with the service. FOOD. I hadn't eaten in a Denny's in 10+ year, maybe 20. We went because my granddaughters choice. Menu hadn't seemed to change. And the food was ok, at best. Nothing was bad but also nothing makes me want to return anytime soon. It did seem popular with the locals giving them a nice place to gather. Will I return? Can't see it anytime in the near future. But again a big to the staff. read more

Rating as compared to a Perkins. Service was great! Has a diner type setting. The chicken fried steak was good. The cinnamon roll pancake slam was good. Not fine dining but good for a non fast food restaurant. read more

Just had dinner here. Kelly did an awesome job. He was host, waiter, bus boy, cashier all at the same time. This young man kept his composure and was able to keep all patrons happy. Our order was right, and the food was good. He checked back with us several times. Two thumbs up for Kelly and staff !!! read more

Came in late on a Thursday night. Dylan sat us at a table quickly. His service was superb. He kept our glasses filled and was very friendly. Food came out fast and was delicious and hot. read more

My spouse and I waited almost one hour to receive an order of 2 salads at the Denny's in North Branch, MN. This is really unacceptable service. And they were not nearly that busy as to cause such a long waiting time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To top it off, this particular restaurant was lacking in cleanliness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Suffice to say we will not be dining there again! read more

Went for a late night bite on our way back to Duluth. Decided Dennys was the move and we were right! Our server Dillon made Dennys, he was amazing and went wayyyy above and beyond! His service and attitude was truly impeccable! Bro deserves a raise no question, thanks again man! read more

Great service! Very accommodating server for our group of 12! Thank you to Suzie at the North Branch Denny's!

Please get this place better staffed. I'm not from Minnesota and have been visiting family. I have noticed everyone is SO nice here. But that did not apply to anyone in this Dennys. Almost all the staff were pissed off, and especially our server. They were all very condescending. I know people have their bad days as well, but I assume it's a staffing issue as there was one server working the entirety of the right side of the building. She was overwhelmed clearly which led to her comments sounding so rude. I know food is not their fault either, but it was so plain and boring. Pretty cold too. read more

Food was great service was top notch and the service was fast clean place. Yeah, I'd recommend going here.

Our server was fantastic, the food was wonderful, huge menu to choose from, and quick service on a Saturday night!

Waited almost a hour for our food this morning. When my food came out not a single item on my plate was even warm. I tried everything to see if maybe a just a part of it was cold. Waitress only stopped at our table once outside of giving our bill. read more

Denny's - "Extra crispy" Hash Browns with onions. Onions are 75% raw. - Diners Near Me - North Branch, Minnesota

We had a great experience at this restaurant! Food was delicious and prepared as requested and service was excellent. Maya was our server and she was pleasant, courteous and attentive. read more

We get that staffing is an issue, giving them 2 stars for just being open. That said, the food was decent but the rest failed big time. The bathrooms were horrific. Stains, filth, stench and just overall gross. No way anyone cleaned for months. Service was slow because the server was more concerned to chat with his friends that were there in a corner table. Friendly enough when dealing with us, but was hard to even get his attention for the simplest things. Order was not correct but we waited too long and couldn't wait any longer for it to be re done. read more

great service! Food was excellent and cooks were fantastic! Happy we stopped. Won't be our last visit

Best Denny's in the area for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desserts. One of my go to places for quality American food in North Branch.

Just because it was designed to be a classic diner, doesn't mean it has to feature classic filth. We did manage to get our drinks but the waiter was far too busy chatting with the busboy to get crayons for the kids menus or take our orders regardless of how often we asked. On our way out, without ordering I stopped to pay for our three drinks and took a look at the kitchen. I'm sure it's warm in there, but the greasy dust covered fan blowing at the food could only have been more gross if dead vermin were somehow involved. The floor was greasy to the point of a visible film and there were bits of miscellaneous food here and there, probably dropped into that disgusting fan. So glad the service was horrid, saved us from potential food poisoning. So sad. read more

Good, or ok food, It is Denny's ! If you are expecting presentation or fine food.... wake up. Their hiring pool is thin up here in North Branch, so service suffers now and then, food is usually the same. Odd that they don't offer their own Veterans day special on Veterans day, they celebrate it the day after so it doesn't impact their weekend, a RIP off. read more

The dishes and glasses, silverware are very dirty!! One of the worst restaurants I have been in!!

Food was amazing! My server was so friendly and I love the new remodel! The picture on the back wall is amazing- Duluth is so pretty!

Removed my previous review because I was waiting on a response from corporate. Well, Sonya from corporate called me and left a voicemail. I called her back twice and left all my info on her voicemail, and have never heard back. So it seems upper management is at about the same level of service as everything else here. The staff have no direction, the food will be cold, you will be ignored. The building is so dirty it should be bulldozed. You'd be better off going to eat at the gas station. Don't go here. read more

Thermostat set at 61. Really? We thought about getting our food to go and eating in the car so we had heat.

Terrible food and service. Will never go back. Out of Coke Rootbeer sausage and ham. Food came cold.

My wife kids picked this Dennys to go eat while waiting to be seated over hear a manager saying she don't have to help wait tables wait after being seated at least 10 mins no drink order was taken or orders was maybe 3 tables having customers 5 people we could see working we walked out... please get your place in order... read more

Waited forever for bad-tasting food. The club sandwich was made with Buddig lunchmeat. Gross.

I wish I could give 0 stars. None of our food came out at the same time. My entire family was finished eating before I got my food. We waited 1 1/2 hours for food that wasn't even warm. Not to mention they told us they were out of pancake mix yet they were still making them for tables that came after us. HORRIBLE!!!! Waitress was nice but the rest was regrettable. Won't be back. read more

After a long day of Deer hunting we decided to stop here for dinner, waited 15 min before the waitress came to are table. After waiting 45 min to get are food we walked out. Cant say wether the food is any good because we were to hungry to Keep waiting, disappointing service!!! read more

This has been a consistanly good spot for breakfast over the years. I've always been seated on the North side and just now wonder if the other side is where the waitress with senority is always stationed and where the regulars go or they just fill it first, hmm? I can't recall having anything but breakfast even if it's late night. It's a chain. You get what you expect at a Denny's. No complaints. read more

What can I say; the water was cold as was the Dinner, pop taste good. Pancakes are awful, along with syrup. I WILL NOT COME AGAIN. GO TO VILLAGE INN! read more

Diner was filthy. Register paper on floor, table dirty woth syrup and crumbs next to us. No one welcomed us when we came in and when the woman went to seat us there seemed to be.frictionbetween her and the man with turquoise and purple hair. I heard him say no way I have to many so she took us. She was not mean but didn't speak much and just took our order dropped it off and that was about it until we paid. read more

Look guys, I understand you can't guarantee a completely allergen free meal. But at the very least I should expect my order NOT to come out with the one thing I'm allergic to on top of my food. In addition, when I correct my server, at least pretend to hold the plate in the back long enough that I can believe you redid the order instead of scrape off the allergen and give it back. read more
