    T-Bone Steak & Eggs
    Simon C.

    I come here very frequently. I always ask for Denise because she always takes care of us. She is a hard worker. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They just remodeled this place and it looks much better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is always great and amazing. I would recommend this place alway to come eat breakfast or lunch. They are also open 24 hours as well, for you late comers.

    Took me 7 years to visit. Located across from Duke Raleigh hospital this used to be an upscale area. Located next to a Days Inn the area is now more diverse. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was jumping on Friday morning at 9:30. Families laughing, seniors eating, and friends hanging out[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The heat was pumping, maybe a bit too much but it was 25 out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was fresh, piping hot and surprisingly tasty. They probably needed another server but the hostess kept the coffee flowing. Hard to complain like other reviews. This was an great breakfast choice. When comparing to i hop Dennys wins out.

    Service ain't bad, the waitress was really nice. I wish I could remember her name but she was friendly and stopped by often to make sure we were doing okay. Everyone else looked like they were dead but then again it was 11:30 pm soooo it's understandable. Food was good tho, didn't take too long to receive.

    I had a disturbing experience at this location today! Earlier this morning when I ordered and picked up my food the service was great, I even tipped the young lady at the counter. In addition, I went in later that day to bring my food in as one of the associates told me too when I called , while I was trying to eat. The first manager made it seem like "things just happen". Yes, I understand things happen but compensate your customer and have a compassionate attitude about it. Especially, one that is NOT being rude about the situation. I ordered a Cali Club sandwich with seasoned fries and a garden salad. While eating the sandwich, I unexpectedly bit into a piece of plastic that had somehow made its way into the food while being cooked. This was not only shocking and extremely unpleasant and disgusting , but it also posed a potential health risk. (This was the tag that the turkey meat obviously came in). The first manager lied and said she couldn't print me off a receipt so she went and got the GM, Christina.The managers had a MAJOR problem with me asking for a receipt. I patiently waited for the GM to come back out (approximately 10 minutes). Apparently, I was "doing the most ", was called "girllll", and was told "the girl should have printed me off one last night , I can't give you one." (in her words), by the manager Christina. Which resulted in me calling the police because she was adamant on not printing me one for my references, although she had already printed herself one. Thankfully, I had already gotten my refund, I just wanted a simple receipt because corporate needed the order number. This incident did not have to escalate at all. I've never had this happen to me in my LIFE. New managers are needed there! Both of them were extremely rude and unpleasant to handle business with. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of compassion and professionalism.

    Strawberry French toast special

    We had not been to Dennys in years and I didn't care to come back. I got the moons over myhammy, which was fine and the hash browns were good! The pancakes are nothing special and the syrup was what I remembered disgusting! Everything was just ok. Our service was great, quick, and the diner was clean, they even had a tv showing sports. Very casual, if probably go back if with others and try non breakfast items.

    Dennys in the south is is way better than the PNW. Had burgers and really enjoyed them. Garden salad was fresh to. It was simple, but it was fresh. And the waitress Candace and hostess were very friendly and attentive .

    Incredible brunch spot. My favorite in Raleigh, to be honest. I love all the options they have. No…read morematter if you're feeling sweet or savory, they have tons of options for both. There's so many things on the menu that I still want to try. When we first got to the restaurant we were interested in sitting outside but the host told us the spot that would fit us wasn't available or in the section. However, she went out of her way to talk to her manager and they accommodated us. Off to a great start service wise! That great service continued throughout our meal. Our waiter was super attentive and everything was brought out really quickly. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. It's a very classy spot; very upscale mid-century. I had the stuffed French toast crepe with berries added (egg battered crepe dusted with a cinnamon spice blend, filled with cheesecake custard, topped with maple syrup and house-made whipped cream). Phenomenal. I'm still thinking about that crepe a few weeks later now...I also ordered the Strawberry Citrus Smash (tangerine ginger iced tea, strawberry syrup, lime juice, served iced). Also delicious and not overly sweet. Everything here is great. I highly recommend checking it out. My oneeeee issue is that they don't take reservations. I'm sorry but I don't want to wait around for over an hour to get a table for brunch on the weekend. It's really unfortunate because I've been here with friends before and we've had to leave to go to another restaurant because of such a long wait time. The only reason I was able to try this place after that was because I went during a weekday when family was in town visiting. Many of my friends have jobs that aren't very flexible and busy family lives, so the weekends are the best times to go; but at the same time they don't have a lot of time to spare to waiting. PRESS if you see this - I highly recommend that you reconsider your reservation policy, at least for the weekends!

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

The place was crowded but there was no wait. I got seated immediately at a table near a column in the middle of the restaurant and Christy came over and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She brought me iced water and gave me time to look at the menu. I wanted to try so many things and I was too optimistic about ordering 3 things and finishing them myself. Good thing I only ordered 2 things! An order of fried catfish with home fries and one egg. And a biscuit with sausage gravy. The fried catfish was salted and well fried. It tasted delicious for my first bite! The home fries were basically cut potatoes, but they weren't very fried or flavored. I wished I ordered the side of apple sauce instead. The biscuit and sausage was good, but a bit too much for one person after eating a separate order already. Definitely bring more people so you can try more things. Also, I wished I had asked for sausage gravy on the side so I can try the biscuit on its own first as well. Furthermore, I would have more time to eat the catfish so I wasn't worried about the biscuit getting soggy. Christy came to check up on me every now and then. The place was buzzing with people and decorations so I didn't feel so alone. When it was time to pay, Christy brought me the check for me to pay at the cash register. Both Christy and the cashier were so friendly! The restaurant does have a women's and a mens restroom if needed.
