Went to a late night dinner and got the lasagna and chicken fried steak and they told us those were "excellent" choices.we also got there mozzarella sticks, and there onion rings. Onion rings were 2/5, mozzarella sticks, were clearly frozen and came from a box, after we hade the onion rings and mozzarella sticks as our appetizers they then brought are lasagna and chicken Fried steak, the lasagna tasted like it has been frozen for 5weeks and had no flavor and made me sick, the chicken fried steak was also flavorless,undercooked, and the gravy wasn't even prepared right(super thin and clumpy) the only good thing that we have to say about this place is the service was excellent and the milkshakes were alright.I do not recommend! read more

You get what you pay for. I used to think that adage was starting to get a bit tired. After all, just because you don't spend a lot of money doesn't mean you are going to get something crappy. I've been to a few Denny's locations in my past, and found them perfectly fine--not gourmet, but perfectly edible food for a decent price. Here, for Thanksgiving? Yikes. The last few years we have opted to have Thanksgiving dinners at the various resorts around town. Due to a failure to make reservations far enough in advance, and some other places with prices so high it was unreasonable, we had no choice but to choose Denny's; we decided to get take out. Imagine our surprise when we get the food home. Picture this: turkey so overcooked and dry, it could of been confused as jerky; to add insult to injury, there were visible char marks all over it. The broccoli was steamed, and was devoid of any flavor. The stuffing and mashed potatoes were by far the best thing on the plate. The problem? They went skimpy on those two things. The gravy, the very small amount that they gave, tasted of solely of salt. The garlic bread, had an odd odor: you know when you're in someone's presence, and it smells like they haven't changed their underwear in a long time and/or does not wipe very well? Yeah, that's what the garlic bread smelled like. And I'm shocked because most of the cheapie diner places serve some sort of turkey dish during the fall season, and I've had a Denny's turkey dish in the past, and it was very decent. This was abysmal. I am awarding this place two stars for two reasons: the staff were friendly and cordial, and the overall environment was pleasant, upbeat and new. The food did not give a greag first impression, which was a shame because although I was apprehensive over whether or not Denny's was a good fit for this town, I wanted to give them chance. After this, I would be surprised if I do come back. read more

Denny's - This picture speaks for itself, doesn't it? - Diners Near Me - Oro Valley, Arizona

Not one good thing to say....Waited 15 minutes for a table. Once we ordered it took us 25 minutes to get our food. When food arrived at the table it was cold:( We advised manager and server of our experience and they just kind of shrugged their shoulders and said "sorry". If you want good food and fantastic service try the I Hop at Cortaro farm road and I-10 if you want a great restaurant experience. AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

I love Denny's, which is the only reason this location gets two stars. I had to get the hostess attention, and after being seated it took , ten minutes for an order... with only one other table in the whole restaurant. The waiter was very confused about the menu. Ten minutes after ordering I was told that they were out of what I ordered because of the table next to me, the only other table, which had ordered before I sat down. You can tell this place just opened. read more

This place is more concerned with seating the customer where it is convenient for them based on server sequence, rather than where the customer wants to sit. Instead of seating me in the front section they put me way in the back because it was that servers turn. Get with it---the customer matters! read more

I always expect one thing to go wrong like missing toppings for pancakes. Today the bacon is so burnt it matches the to go box. Hash browns were raw under the very top layer. Pancakes looked like they sat out for a while despite picking up on time. Most disappointing order by far. At least the eggs were cooked, although oily, and the FOH staff was nice.

friendly greeting. Good consistent food. Fast service. pleasant waitress. Quiet atmosphere.

Very disappointed they took away the gluten free English muffin option. There's little choices out there and we've traveled all over the country. Denny's was the one place I knew I'd enjoy eating a full breakfast and our hometown Denny's doesn't even offer it. read more

The service was great and fast. I decided to change my order right after I placed it and it was seamless. Will come again.

We are regulars at Denny's (specifically the one on Oro Valley) but we stopped going about 6 or 7 months ago after a horrible experience with a waitress (Stephanie) who was not only rude but also careless with her job so we just stopped going in until today when we decided to try again and the difference was extremely notorious! Allie was attentive and efficient, brought all our food fast, fresh, and warm, so different than the last time. The plates were well presented, prepared, clean, and delicious, so kudos to Chris who was in the kitchen! Night shift did an excellent job today read more

My husband, grandson and myself went for dinner at our Denny's in Oro Valley last night after seeing a movie at the nearby theater. There were quite a few tables occupied. Jeannette was the manager and looked to be keeping the place running smoothly! I enjoyed our chat as we paid our bill. Our waiter, Elvis was very friendly and attentive and Chris, our cook, did a fabulous job on the burgers! Thanks to the Denny's staff for showing a great end to our evening! read more

It's Denny's ... same all over country. The Oro Valley location is clean. Food is okay, not great but not horrible quality. Service is generally adequate. We'll for sure go there again for breakfast. read more

Like a beautiful cocaufany of senses flooded my mouth. Amazing customer service and amazing invironment.

Have dined at Denny's quite a few times . ( mostly Ina Rd / Interstate and always great ) This evening we ate dinner at the Oracle Rd location being at the Car Show in the parking lot . Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables. When it was served to me I saw the Veggies and the Chicken Fried Steak with what looked like a puddle of thin gravy next to it . I asked my waiter where the mashed potatoes were ? He pointed at what I thought was the puddle of gravy . I scooped it up with a fork and they dropped down like watered down gravy . The waiter did apologize and said that it did look bad but that was their number 1 complaint from customers . And asked me if I wanted the check ???? Are you kidding me ??? He then just walked off . At the cash register when the lady asked me how my food was , I explained the situation . She again said that most people do complain about their mashed potatoes , She did offer me a small discount . But why haven't they addressed the problem ??? Guessing mashed potatoes saturated with water stretches the amount on their end ??? Absolutely horrific . Never ever again . Way too many eateries to choose from to have someone not care about an obvious big issue . This rating should be a Minus 10 star !! read more

Gladys at Denny's in Oro Valley is friendly and helpful! Food was tasty! The restaurant is clean and bright! Love the decor!

Never had an issue with our service or food and they also offer outside dining available as well. Love their chocolate chip pancakes with bananas on top. I always ask for extra whip cream. So happy to have a close breakfast place nearby that doesn't charge me 15.0 0 for avocado toast. Welcome to Oro Valley. read more

Let me first say, that I appreciate all the servers that are working hard during this very long and stressful pandemic. I hate doing this, because I love Denny's! Our server had a very off day, and we tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and another chance but I think she gave up before we did! First, she forgot to put our food order in. (Table that sat after us got their food before us, and were leaving as we were finally served). She did apologize but when asked for sweetener, she forgot that too. Twice. (Then brought sugar) Once we got our food, that she claimed was being rushed... it was warm at best. Cold at worst. Oh, and we waited an additional 3min for silverware; after having to ask for it. Never once did she asked how was our food was or even come to the table at all so we couldn't even tell her the food was cold. When she finally came to drop off the check and we told her the eggs couldn't be eaten (not that she asked why they were still on the plate) she asked if we wanted them remade for a to-go order... umm. No thanks. I wasn't looking for a discount, but it would have been nice. Considering every turn this poor server made had mistakes. When we were asked at check out how was our meal, we were honest. Hopefully this server will have a better day tomorrow! (ps.. the pancakes were good!) read more

We go for breakfast every Sunday and Sierra is beyond great as our waitress. She even remembers what we generally order. She's the BEST!

Denny's just knocks it out of the park for breakfast. And Kevin could be a waiter at a 5-star restaurant....He's the best.

New restaurant looks great but they must still be working out the service issues. Very slow kitchen and waiter in an almost empty restaurant. Food was average Dennys. River and Oracle location does a better job despite being busy. read more

The chicken tenders were very good and the grapes and the hot chocolate too and the service was fast great and excellent

Service was okay and great customer service but the food we order took forever to be made and brought to us. We were told that food is coming up soon but it came out 4 hours later . read more

Thought we would try the new dennys location on River road in Tucson az. Was surprised at 9am we were seated right away. I posted pics of some of the food and receipt . We both ordered the same lumberjack grand slam breakfast nothing grand about it. Both orders came out wrong to begin with so waitress took back to kitchen five minutes latter brings our food again drops it on table and leaves. The toast was not toasted, the ham and hash browns were cooked only on one side . Not to mention the rotten tasting burnt bacon. My wife tried to use the syrup and nothing would come out of container no matter how hard I shook it. Tried to find our waitress but never showed up until we had enough and we're ready to leave.that's when we were asked how was our food. Our response was the food was not very good. Was told so sorry. The bill was small for breakfast so we paid and left but will never return. read more

I've eaten at this particular location twice in the last 2 months and both times I was VERY pleased with the quality of food. Prices, like everywhere else were a bit high. Lunch at Denny's for 2 people never used to cost $40. I frequently try and find a good quality cheeseburger and was surprised that Denny's has come out on top...each and every time I try to find one elsewhere. And the cook at this particular location has it on lock. I was also very pleased to see wait staff still masked, especially with the recent resurgence in COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. Love Denny's...and love this particular location! read more

alyssandra is SUCH A SWEETIE!! she was so attentive and upbeat, her personality is sooo adorable!! we loved our food, or strawberry french toast thing was amazing !! my cheeseburger was super greasy which grossed me out, but it had good flavor!! but overall our server was AMAZING! give her a damn raise read more

What a disappointment. Ordered Thanksgiving meal. Came with turkey (at least that is what they called it). Not really sure. Two tablespoons of mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. One tablespoon of cranberry. Talked to manager. He turned h I s back on me and walked away. Ordered 3 meals c[st $10.99 each meal. I have a video. Stay AWAY from this Dennys. read more

Friendly service and good Denny's diner food! Glad that they are closer than the river location. Nice and clean inside!
