This was my first time at this Denny's and I was pleasantly surprised considering I had read some of the reviews. Friendly staff. Big shout out to our waitress, Karen E! She was amazing! Very personable & warm and always with a smile. Thank you Karen for your great service! We arrived around 1:45. Found parking and there were no lines. I ordered from the 50+ menu along with their salted-caramel coffee which was delicious! Everything was good. Since I personally had a good experience here, I would recommend anyone to try this Denny's and experience it for yourself before settling for the reviews. read more

Once again I have a great review of this restaurant. My server, Clarissa K, stood out as a wonderful, helpful, and attentive server. Not only did she possess a great personality, you could tell that she truly loved her job and serving customers. Clarissa made my dining experience very enjoyable. By the way, the food was prepared in an excellent manner, with great taste and value for the money. If you are eating at this Denny's, make sure you ask for Clarissa. You will be happy you did! read more

Great food and great service must go together for a restaurant to be successful these days. Fortunately you have them both! The food quality is always excellent. The serving staff is quite attentive to customer needs and is very friendly. One server especially, Janna, is an excellent example of this. Always smiling and a people-oriented lady, she always makes us welcome and brightens our day! read more

Consistently good food and service. Always a good choice when on the road. It's all about the coffee...lol! Highly recommend.

Delicious food. Clean. Easy parking. Friendly staff. Great for any occasion. Great breakfast. Great burgers. Great sandwhichs. read more

Denny's - Store front - American Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Our family has been to this Denny's many times over the years, and we enjoy this location. The menu offers a large variety of options, unique fruit flavored drinks, and seasonal items. On our most recent visit, my husband said his brisket sandwich was delicious. Our server was very attentive, and made sure our drinks were full throughout the meal. Although Denny's is a recognized name in the industry, this location has always been a great choice for us. read more

love the salmon.Great place to eat. The server just kind of overworked a little bit. It wasn't very knowledgeable, but the ambiance was okay

They served me a delicious milkshake and tasty mozzarella sticks. The table was clean, and the waiter was nice. The only downside was the claw machines -- they felt rigged. I spent over $10, but the toys kept slipping out right as the claw reached the top. read more

Crazy good food and service for a Dennys. I was craving pancakes for dinner and this place did not disappoint. We're were stuffed and the coffee never ran out. read more

Denny's - Can't remember which slam but we got the Cinnamon Roll pancakes. - American Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Had a great breakfast provided by Denny's celebrating Veterans Day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend taking the family here for brunch after church. read more

Denny's is your all-American diner experience. The lunch and dinner entrees are great, but this trip was for their always-awesome breakfast menu. The "Slams" are not to be missed. Eggs your way, fresh bacon, sausages, ham, stacks of pancakes or French Toast. I had the French Slam and it was tasty as ever. The thick slices of toast are sprinkled with powdered sugar and better than my grandma used to make (and that's saying something!) The location is older but it's always clean and the food is what Denny's fans expect. Our favorite Sunday morning before-church stop! read more

My husband and I recieved the best service from Denny's in Garner, where we had breakfast yesterday. Our server was Desi. She was cheerful, professional, courteous and very attentive. She brought the food out nice and hot. Which was well appreciated. Five stars for Desi. read more

I know that it is difficult to work with the public. So I will say the visit we had just happened to be an off day for the establishment. To say the least I wish them all well! read more

Don't come at night. They prioritize the mobile orders and you're stuck waiting an hour for appetizers that a four year old can microwave at home. Don't waste your time. read more

My husband and I waited for a server to come to our booth for at least 10 minutes. Nobody ever came nor did anyone even acknowledge us. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. I saw several servers just standing around. I used to enjoy going to Denny's to eat,but I refuse to ever go to another one! read more

Very disappointed with the management, the waitress brought a wrong extra dish to the table and the manager did not want to remove it from my check, when I did not order that food, anyone who works in the industry knows that you do not have to pay for an order that was never ordered by the customer read more

Waiter was very polite but some of orders were wrong the manager was way rude and threaten to have us arrested for food that we didn't even receive. New manager needed. read more

Marquel made it a weird night for us. We arrived seriously hungry and tired. We were seated but kept feeling a draft. The hostess( young lady) offered us another table, actually two tables behind us. He clearly states in front of us that if the young lady moves us to the section that he closed that he was not going to clean it. The young lady asked him to "chill" but he kept going. We promptly left because if we were given that section anyway, I don't know how our food would have arrived to us. Headed to Denny's on Wake Forest Rd read more

i haven't even got my food yet. the inside is big and overwhelming to an outsider like me. i just love my waiter TT

It wasn't very busy, plenty of open seats. The waiter was great but the food... The food. The pan cakes were WELL DONE. The mozzarella sticks were empty, the country fried steak came out without gravy, they forgot to add cheese to my hash browns as requested. The kitchen forgot my daughter's biscuit and gravy and had to run it out 20 minutes later. All in all, I don't think I will be back. read more

Denny's is like my go-to breakfast establishment when I want reliable and consistently breakfast food. Where do I start? Coffee??? It took the server like 10 minutes to get our drinks... which was two servings over-roasted bitter water. JUST the way to start your Saturday morning, right? Then there was the lack of service, and worst of all misinformed management. The thing is I care less about the 20%off coupon Denny's sent me after downloading the app. The cashier claimed the coupon I pulled directly from the welcome email was a fake--but in fact It had a unique bar code that they didn't even bother scanning to see if it works. I work in tech, and the lack of training for management here needs major work, especially if they want business from millennials. Most disappointing experience to say the least. SMH read more

Ok for your standard breakfast. Toast was not delivered with the meal and had to wait on syrup for the pancakes. Waitress was friendly.

I love eating here to and the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and I go there twice a month and then I will order my food on line to deliver to my house for my family! read more

Don't understand the bad reviews? We enjoyed a delicious, fresh hot breakfast there today. Everything was perfect, our server Danni was attentive and very friendly. We'll be back for sure. read more

Food took forever. Had to ask for soup, appetizer came out after 2 of 3 entrees were brought out. Appetizer was burnt and then we had to ask for our 3rd entree which was an omelet with burnt veggies and they didn't even put cheese in it. One of the waitresses was really friendly. That was the only plus. read more

The customer service was horrible today. The waitress dropped our food with no apologies but had an attitude..A plate shattered against my leg and she didnt seen to concerned. read more

Ordered sirloin steak meal delivery and for the cheap price was expecting a hamburger patty. I was shocked to get a large steak with A-1 sauce included on the side. It was seasoned perfectly as were the onion rings and garlic bread! Mashed potatoes tasted bagged and the gravy only made them a bit better. Great price and portion!! read more

Food is excellent as usual. Service has greatly improved. They are also doing delivery now. Waitress (Amber) was great. We will return with the better service. Much better value then the Famous Toastery and the food is just as good if not better. Well done! read more

Denny's - Pancakes were great plus the eggs were just the right size to cover them. - American Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Most Denny's are going to be mostly the same, at least in terms of their menus and prices and things like that. So I have nothing to really report about that. However this particular Denny's was incredibly slow on the service even though they were very few people there. They took forever to come and take our orders, then forever to return, no water refills in between. Just generally poor service. Again, especially considering that the place was far from Full. Maybe the place was just understaffed, but either way it translated into a sub-optimal Denny's experience. read more

Denny's - Denny's. You been here. - American Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I'm not certain people aren't mistaking "service" for a poor kitchen staff. Our service was fine. It just took forever for the kitchen to get the food out to our server. We waited almost 30 minutes for basically a couple orders of eggs and pancakes. I'm sure our waitress put our orders in right away. There needs to be some efficiency with the cooking staff or maybe the owner just likes to keep the kitchen understaffed to save money. Let's face it, you are not going to Denny's for Michelin rated food or service. It's diner food and it's fine. Just don't go here if you are in a rush. read more

Food was not great, tables and floor were sticky, service was slow and sloppy, got my food 45 minutes after order.

We just had the worst experience in a restaurant that I can remember, and I would not even rate it 1 star. The server was terrible, and the manager was worse because he should have extended better customer service than we received. I ordered an item off the 55+ menu by pointing to my choice and vocalizing what I wanted. We had to ask the server twice for extra gravy. We asked for a to go box, and she never brought it. My husband had to go search for one. Here is the kicker... the server brought me the regular menu item and charged me the full price. She and the manager would not fix the bill until I gave them the leftovers back. I pointed out they were going to throw them away, but that manager would not budge. So I left the box with them. The bill was fixed (a whole $5 difference), and we left mad. Way to go Dennys, you ruined a nice evening out with my husband. We have many other choices in Garner. Check your receipts people if you dare going there. read more

Finally got a chance to check this restaurant out tonight. I stopped in two weeks ago w/ my daughter around 6pm and the wait for two people was 30 mins, even though the restaurant seemed to be lightly filled. That should have been a warning, but since I'm stubborn and since my daughter really wanted to try it, we headed back tonight. At 5:45, we waited about 5 mins and once again, the crowd was light. The waitress was reasonably attentive, but I got the impression that she was waiting a fair number of tables. We were seated in a rear area of the restaurant and again, I got the distinct impression that this is where they seat you if you have kids less than 12 since there was another family with a similarly aged child in this area and no children appeared to be anywhere else in the restaurant. I had the Turkey Burger w/ hash browns and a side of grilled zucchini. The order took a long time to come out. Not really sure why because again, the crowd was light and how long does it take to grill a turkey burger? In any event, the food was tasty, or maybe I was just hungry. My main complaint was that the side of zucchini was TINY! I posted a pic of it so check it out. I mean, it was only $1.89 but it's ZUCCHINI - the most plentiful vegetable known to man almost. The same stuff that people beg others to take in the summer because the harvest is always so bountiful. I mean, I realize that it's February, but I seriously doubt that Denny's is practicing local sourcing so I'll figure that wherever it's coming from, it's probably readily available. No need to be so tight with the portion! Other than the tiny grilled zucchini portion, the turkey burger was reasonably good, but the downside of it was that they used shredded lettuce piled high on the sandwich so after a few bites, most of that ended up on my plate. Not too big of an issue, but more of a hassle than anything. So, overall, this was a disappointing visit. I would consider going back, but probably will stick with the other local Denny's (Wake Forest Rd) where I have had much better experiences. Of course, this location is new, so maybe I'll give them a few months to work things out and head back after that. read more

Denny's - Check my review for an explanation. The TASTE was good, but $1.89 for this small amount of grilled zucchini is too much! - American Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

It was my birthday today and I came in to use my reward for my free slam and the place was so clean and had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The moment I walked in I was greeted by Regina and her staff and they were so welcoming and sweet. I have never walked into an establishment and felt so at peace like I was visiting the family! Because of how amazing their customer service was down to the DELICIOUS food I will be coming back and telling everyone I know about THIS Dennys. read more

I walk in with a group of 5 at 2:30am, a waiter named Vanessa immediately says there will be a 30m wait. So we sit down at a table we wait for 20m till we get up and ask if they could take our order already, mind you there are 4 or 5 tables being served and the reason for the 30m wait was because they were low on waiters and cooks in the kitchen. Well 30 minutes turned into 45 minutes so we decided to go up to the front desk and ask again and this time the waiter said that we'll have to wait for a table to leave so they could finally serve us which she should've said from the start instead of saying for us to 30m. Now it's been almost an hour of wait and were still refusing to serve us so this Dennys location deserved this rating for their mediocre service. read more

Have had service troubles with this location years ago. This has completely changed. Our server (Amber) was fantastic. Even with other tables being waited on our food came hot in a timely fashion. I am handicapped and in need of a little more room at my table than most. They accommodate me without any trouble at all. Plenty of wheelchair access available at more tables than just one. Way to do food service right Dennys. I will be back to this location. read more

This will probably be our last time at this Denny's. We've frequented this place for the past two years. There were times of great service and appetizing meals, but they were far too few. This past Saturday was the third strike. We waited nearly an hour before getting our breakfast items. I believe the manager (short, white male) came out to apologize to other patrons for the delay. He only approached us after the table beside us told him that we had been there longer than they had. We were there before numerous others, yet we got our meals last. Apparently, they had a large number of orders go through all at once. That would've been nice to know ahead of time so we could've had the option to leave. Refills only came when asked and we were forgotten and had to wait again. Still...why were we last served when we were there first? The food? This particular time, the food, was dreadful. The food wasn't up to par at all and it didn't taste good. Alas, we were too hungry to ask for anything to be re-made or to order something different. Just about everything was burned and overcooked. How does one screw up eggs and bacon? Seriously. I go out to relax and not have to cook. I don't want to wait for a long time and stress over food. If anyone chooses to go here, make sure you ask for everything you need up front because you'll have to wait a long time to get extra silverware or hot sauce or whatever it is you desire. Make sure you go when it is dead empty so the wait won't be long. read more
