Not friendly very slow in taking our order and we will see how that goes! Updated, things improved, and the food was good! Not consistent, asked if I could pay her and she said pay up front. Took the payment from a table up front while I was standing in line to pay. Was slow and had a conversation while while I was waiting. read more

So sorry they could even a my order at the bar at 2 in the morning. The flying j employees say they do it every night because they don't want to wash the dishes read more

Just ate at this Denny's the other night and it was an overall great experience! Jennifer was my server and she was welcoming, had a smile on her face the entire time and kept my coffee coming which is all I can ask for whenever I go out to eat. I had the sirloin steak dinner and mashed potatoes and gravy as my entree. The potatoes were thick and mashed well, the gravy tasted good and the steak was cooked just the way I asked it to be done! Very rarely do I find a restaurant able to do a true medium rare but their chef did. Now if you're expecting me to go on a rant and rave about flavor profile there isn't going to be any because mashed potatoes and gravy and a sirloin steak is pretty standard fare, but the fact that they can do it and it's not overcooked means they're Cook does know what he's doing. I'd have to say the only negative aspect I had in my experience was there was one employee who did more standing around behind the bar and going outside to smoke cigarettes and talk on her phone than anything else. I brought this up to the manager, Allison and what I found nice was that she acknowledged my complaint in a very professional and friendly manner. It was as is if we were neighborhood friends which made this particular experience, along with my waitress, Jennifer truly great because I didn't feel like I was dealing with corporate people, but with people that I may have known for years. They treated me like I was part of the the community even if I am an over-the-road driver. In effect I recommend that people should come here and eat and you know enjoy the selection and joy the ambience and the low-key atmosphere that this staff creates because I feel that it's Blackson especially after a long day on the road or a hard day at work! read more

It's a run of the mill flying j Denny's. The service and food quality depends on when you go. Far from the best and not too far from the worse. read more

Denny's - Is it "good"?... It's Denny's. That's debatable. - American Near Me - Pearl, Mississippi

It's been a long time since I've been to a Denny's. What a pleasant surprise. We went on a Saturday morning and were shown straight to a table. Our server, Ashley H., was really nice and very timely with taking our order and keeping the coffee coming. We tried the strawberry pups as an appetizer--which was yummy. Very reminiscent of a beignet mixed with a cake donut. I felt like it was a food from the state fair. For breakfast the hubby had the ultimate grand slam omelette which he really enjoyed. While I had the country fried steak & eggs with a side of biscuits and gravy. My food was good. Not amazing but definitely solid diner breakfast food. Overall we really enjoyed it, and plan to come back--especially for those pancake pups. read more

See all

We walked in at 11:05 on a Sunday morning and saw several people eating at tables. The 'hostess' told us they were closed, which was obviously a lie. Consistently terrible attitudes. Good takes forever to come out. just stay home and have a bowl of cerea, you'll be much better off. read more

Very unorganized and unprepared to serve customers. The restaurant was a ghost town. I could only imagine what would happen if they actually got busy. They either need to hire new people or hire more people because it's sad. read more

Service is extremely slow!! Took 10 min to get seated by hostess and we were the only ones standing waiting. Then we watched for some time (about 10-15min) and no one ever came to our table. Poor acknowledgement. Smh! And this was our first time visiting! Don't know if we will be back for quite some time! read more

I have not been to a Denny's in years and had forgotten that we even have one in the metro area. The restaurant was clean and the service friendly. The food was exactly what I was expecting. I will be back next time I have a hankering. read more

Quite ridiculously the worst Dennys I've ever had the misfortune to visit. I thought maybe I'll give them a chance after reading some of the reviews, but my god what a mistake that was. The wait for service or even acknowledgement is on a different level, they somehow manage to ignore you, it's not even possible without intent. I was sitting right there twiddling my thumbs and making huffing noises to no avail. A gentlemen came in and sat next to me 10 mins after me and left after waiting 10 mins as he didn't receive any service whatsoever, we just shared a mutual look of disappointment. I persevered and did eventually get my order in and yes you've guessed it, it came in bits and it came wrong. By the time I got my dry toast (yes dry toast, that means putting into the toaster and then giving it me! You don't even have to cut it!! Just give me some toast someone please!!! arrrggh) my food was cold and my bacon was wrong. ( I asked for turkey and got pork ) I will say if Dennys management reads this then please I don't want anyone to lose their job or anything but please oh please retrain Danielle, she is possibly the worst waitress I have ever witnessed in 'action' I say action but I really mean lackluster performance. Completely uninspiring and really quite a drag. Speaking of waitresses, maybe they can spend less time calling each other 'baby' or 'ma'am' and talking to each other about cornbread (I kid you not!) and maybe more time just actually acknowledging a customer. I gave this one star because I have to, otherwise I wouldn't even have rated it that! Sorry Dennys in Jackson MS you've failed miserably read more

After reading previous reviews I had concerns about eating here but I had work to do and I needed a pelace to write. They were close. My impression is that they have addressed their issues. I was greeted promptly. The waitress was very nice and kept my iced tea filled (my pet peeve). The food was delicious and someone came out of the kitchen and asked how everything was. I was very pleased. read more

I have been coming to this location for a while now. Every time I come I'm hoping things would be better than the last time. Obviously not and obviously no one cares because it's always the same sloppy, slow, ill mannered customer service. Why does it have to take 40mins at almost 11:00 at night to get something to eat, especially when there are ONLY four other customers in the restaurant? Why, because no one here ever cares!!! Your employees walk around like they don't have a job to do. I'm a truck driver, and no I don't have time to sit all night just to eat, especially when it's late and no one is even there, so it's not that your restaurant is even busy!!!! I have no idea about how many complaints you get but after tonight I'm done with this location!!! I've been to a lot of your Flying J locations and by far this place is the worst every visit!! read more

Waited 10 minutes to be seated. Asked for a manager and no one ever came. Then they complain about people not tipping. There has to be decent people in the area that need jobs. Clean house at this location and start over! read more

This place is a joke!!!!!! Nasty nasty nasty. Service is absolutely HORRIBLE always. No matter how many times you give it a chance the servers always tend to let you down. Food not that great either, this place is terrible read more

NOPE,NOPE,NOPE! I am now a vegetarian thanks to this Denny's .. Lol, so gross! No wonder Americans are all morbidly obese, especially in the south. I haven't had a meal yet ,that was worth eating in Texas, or Mississippi .. The food in the south is BARF AND GREASE!! I'm out on eating any where else you people call food. I'll be shopping at whole foods or sprouts the remainder of my stay down here , IN HELL! read more

Good food and service, it is just eggs and bacon...but I am a big breakfast fan. All around good experience for a chain restaurant.

Gross!! Stopped in for breakfast this morning. It wasn't busy but the food took a good 30 mins to come out. When it did, my daughter's order was wrong, the food was lukewarm except for the hasbrowns, and the pork link sausage was PINK on the inside after I requested well done. I overheard our waitress tell the table behind us that they were short a cook because apparently their order was wrong too. I asked if they could remake the sausage well done and she said sure. She came back five min later with more sausage that was STILL PINK on the inside. At that point we ate our hasbrowns as it was the only thing on our plates that was hot decent tasting then left. Won't be returning EVER. read more

Food was good and the price was right. However , the service was slow, albeit friendly. AARP discount was the attraction. Don't be in a rush. read more

I haven't eaten yet .. Waiting on my food now .. But as soon as I walked up the host to be seated .. She with an attitude said ' someone will be right with you ' and walked away .. We waited about 11 min as waitresses kept walking pass while looking me in the face as I stand there waiting to be seated .. I ended up getting fed up .. Looked for their number and walked away and called .. They didn't answer the phone at first .. And when they finally did I was put on hold .. I finally put my order in and as of right now I am waiting on my to-go order .. I can't rate the food just yet .. But I am writing a review regarding the terrible customer service .. I won't be back read more

Visited Denny's in Pearl, MS on 5/4/19 and will not visit again anytime soon. Service terrible. A small 8"x10" sign on a table at front entrance that reads please wait to be seated (can't visibly see it until someone points it out to you). Cashier seated us and served beverages (gave us a coke and coffee) we asked for two coffees. She said she was bringing cream and sugar and never did. Other guests arrived after we did and placed their orders before us (Oh, yeah, we never placed our order, no waitress). I tried stopping a waitress that was passing through our area and was told "wait a minute". She never came back. After a 20 minute wait, we asked another waitress about our check for our beverages and she asked who our server was and we told her we never had one and that we just wanted to pay for our beverages and she told us, you don't have to pay for it and we could leave. I called the manager on 5/6/19 and talked to "William" the manager and tried to explain our situation to him and he was not understanding and even put the phone down while I was talking to him and never said could you hold on. When he came back on the line he said he was talking to someone else and I said "you didn't have the courtesy to say "could you hold on please" and that I now understand the service (or lack thereof) that we received on 5/3/19. Denny's need to train their staff. I wish I could give a -star. read more

Poor service, tables was sticky not really happy at all whit the service food was alright

Visited this location tonight. My server Vikie was attentive. It took a while to receive my food because they were short staffed, however the manager Greg worked diligently to make sure the customers were taken care of and my food was served hot. Good visit overall. read more

We went there Sunday morning (November 2, 2014) for breakfast. We stood there for a LONG time before the manager acknowledged us. A man had walked in front of my sister, and the manager acknowledged him first. When my sister spoke up and said that we were there first, the manager accused her of being impatient. When we were finally seated, our waitress came over and told us it was going to be at least 30 minutes before our food would come because they were backed up in the kitchen. Don't blame her for something that was beyond her control. Then she said she would give us a few minutes to decide if we wanted to stay or go someplace else. We decided to stick it out. She came back took and took our orders. She was very articulate and made a good effort to make sure our orders were correct. It took 19 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and 45 minutes for the food. Empty tables around us sat dirty for over 10 minutes. Some of the staff walked around briskly, but the majority of them were just lolly gagging around aimlessly. The cashier was working the cash register, serving food, and pouring coffee. That meant people were piled up at the cash register waiting to be seated and to pay. People could have easily walked out, and they never would have known. read more

It's far from the best. Tonight the waitress was polite, but the rest of the staff was rude. I come here on occasion, but I make a point not to come here often. The food is pretty good, but the attitude of the staff varies. Their attitude usually amounts to eat, pay, and then leave. One thing I keep in mind is that you can't see them prepare the food. read more

Possibly the worst Denny's anywhere. Very, very poor service. Wifi is a joke. I love Denny's but do not expect a good experience there. :/

dennys is horrible. lazy workers. awful food. horrible presentation. skipit!!!!!!. my plate looked like a bunch of leftovers

Food was good, Manager, I think his name is Greg, Was Rude and was yelling at servers. Saw him ask a server for a message and patted her on the rear! She looked horrified! read more

The service was horrible!! My sister ordered a chicken sandwich with NO BACON!! & guess what? It had bacon on it!! Plus our appetizers came during the meal. Which should have came before.. also never got a refill on neither of our drinks. Didn't even ask if we was needing refills. Never came back to see if everything was to our satisfaction. The food was alright I guess u can say. But service makes the food better. read more

According to the Business Statement, "With over 1700 locations worldwide, including the U.S. and in more than 11 foreign countries and territories, Denny's is always ready to serve you." Clearly, they left out the word, poorly. As a very recent customer, I found the service to be absurd. The employees are unhappy and I know this, not only from observing, but from server's mouth. Are the employees trained to NOT smile? The Manager (overstated title for her) was rude. When I asked to be seated at a booth I was told they were not clean and had to wait. I counted five from where I was standing. After a booth was considered clean...according to Denny's or that horrible manager, we were seated to a sticky/wet nasty booth. One of the two of us received silverware with a napkin. No, not both, just one of us. I assume they wanted us to share? I ordered sourdough toast, and when I was served white toast, I questioned, waited, and was finally told that they were out of sourdough. Meanwhile, my grits became a hard lump of concrete because butter, I guess, must be churned upon order. On the bright side, someone threw some butter on my table and it made for a nice frosting on top of my ball of concrete. I must say, I empathize for the server. The food could not be served properly (he told me that they only had one four piece toaster, and two sides were not working) due to the lack of management and tools to succeed in his position. He was very polite in bringing me a refill of coffee....just me. The person with me was told a refill would be brought, but that never happened. Maybe only half of the coffee pot was working? Unsure. We both ordered the All American, and if that were three eggs, I would like to meet the chicken....she must be very petite. Anyway, as I was leaving after paying, I wasn't thanked or had any type of eye contact with the Manager, so I thanked her and wished her a nice day as she stomped away. Hopefully, I will never see her again. Well, I won't at Denny's, anyway. Goodbye Denny's, your service in Pearl is horrible. I wonder why IHOP doesn't move into this territory.....seems like a great opportunity. Meanwhile, I'll stick with my safety and that's Waffle House. read more

HORRIBLE. Service is terrible. I'm in the military & me & my colleagues came here after some training. We were in uniform & ignored for at least 20 mins before being seated. Once seated, took another 20 mins for a waitress to come to our table & another 20 mins before our drinks came to us, & it wasn't even busy. Worst restaurant I have EVER been to. read more

This was possibly one of the WORST dining experiences I've had in a long time. We waited over an hour for food that was microwaved and hard. My husband had a grand slam, I had a grand slamwich, and my son had a plain cheeseburger and goldfish!!! Over and hour for that!!! You could tell my food was under a heat lamp and NOT fresh at all. The bread was so hard I couldn't bite through it. The waitress wasn't any better. She seemed scared to come tell us our food wasn't ready after telling us 30 min prior that it would be out next. My husband then went up and spoke to someone that wasn't in any uniform but was preparing and serving food so maybe a manager. She asked him if our waitress told him about the 30 min food wait, she hadn't, plus we'd been there for over an hour at that point. There was no crowd and the kitchen was full of workers. There was NO EXCUSE for what we experienced. I wouldn't recommend this Denny's to anyone. read more

This has got to be the worst restaurant in the surrounding area. We entered the store at 1pm, there was only one party ahead of us, Husband, wife, and three small kids, waiting to be seated, at least 5 open booths and tables, not crowded but only two waitresses. 15 minutes pass, no one comes to seat us, party of six enter and wait, two couples enter and wait, party of 3 enter. No one comes to inform us of a wait time or anything, seven customers leave after eating. 4 more tables empty. There is a 12 year old kid operating the register. 30 minutes has now passed, All parties waiting leave, that's 18 customers gone. I ask for the manager, she comes up, I asked if there was a problem, because we, and other customers have been waiting to be seated, she becomes rude, I say, that's ok, I will call the general manager, i'm informed that she in the kitchen, I ask to speak to her, she does not come out but sends another person who says that he is a manger. I ask him if their is a problem, because we had been waiting to be seated of over 30 minutes now without anyone informing us of anything, 18 customers have already walked out, he said, " We are behind in the kitchen" I see that but why hasn't any anyone attempted to seat anyone of us, Then he says, " We are short of staff" I see that, Sounds like management does not seem to know their job. He says, " well you can take your ass somewhere else and eat". You are exactly right, what is your name sir. He walks off cursing. General manager Victoria McKinley, never comes out to address my concerns about her managers rude and unprofessional language towards a customer. We leave, now 20 customers have left your business. Will not ever be going back. Not worth one star. read more

I highly recommend for no one to waste there time going here. Me and my son walked out today. They service sucks. They need to fire management and all the staff and let corporate come in. 90% of people that come here are dissatisfied. I will never lay foot in there ever again. There are to many problems to mention read more

The food is good. The service is hit and miss, and the kitchen staff is slower than cold molasses. We went there on two different occasions. The first was during a weekday, It was okay with food and service. However, on the second occasion where we visited on a Saturday afternoon was the worst experience. The food was good, and the waitress was cheerful, pleasant and accommodating, but it took over 45 minutes to get two sandwiches. The computers then went out and it took another twenty minutes to get out. Needless to say, we won't be going back. No need for the hassle and privilege of paying for it, and definitely can't recommend it. read more

We've been to this Denny's several times, and the service was always pretty bad, but the food is good so we come back. The manager was standing at the register (not with a customer) when we walked in. She did not acknowledge us at all. After about 4-5 min, she said she would go see if there was s table open. She put our menus in a table and came back to seat us. She did not even walk back to where we were standing-just stopped in the middle of the isle and waived us toward her and said, "Sit here." 4 people walked past is without asking for our drink orders or if we had been helped. After 10 minutes, the manager noticed we did not have drinks. So, instead of going over to where the servers were standing, she YELLED ACROSS THE RESTAURANT at the waitress to come get our orders. It still took her 5 minutes to come ask what we wanted to drink. She had a terrible attitude, never smiled, rushed off before I could finish speaking. All the tables around us had the same problem. One couple sat down next to us. She didn't even stop and take their drink orders. She walked by and said, as she was walking by, "It's gone be a minute." It took almost an hour for our food to get out. It wasn't just us. There was a table behind us, and we overheard them say they had had three cups of coffee and still hadn't gotten their food. The biggest problem here is the manager. She is the one that "greeted" us at the door, seated us, so inappropriately yelled across the restaurant to her employee. We will not be going back. read more
