Well I wanted breakfast today, so I went to IHOP first. They had a huge line and short staffed. I waited for 20 minutes before I gave up. I'm just visiting so I'm Ubering! Called them to take me to Dennys at this location. I was so happy to get here! The place wasn't crowded and I was able to seat myself quickly. My host was extremely polite and took my order right away. I had the French toast Slam and it was delicious, with a glass of cold orange juice. Less than 15 minutes later my food arrived hot! Had my eyes gleaming, because the scrambled eggs with cheese were fluffy, bacon crisp and the French toast was buttery. Ok I'm done, but know this breakfast made my day! And I tipped her a good one! read more

Terra was great waitress very friendly and sweet, food was very good and we will be going back! It was clean as well.

Our table was filthy when we sat down. We were met with a: so you think you're better than me attitude when we asked if we could please have it cleaned. We felt unwelcome and discussed leaving. We ate in a hurry and ran. Will not be back to this location read more

Charlie provided great service, we enjoyed coming for a 2am snack with friendly, fast service. I'd love to come back when he is working. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was great as well. read more

Soooooo. Sllllllooooooooooooowww Avoid this place. The manager and cook were overwhelmed with 4 tables and one to go order read more

Charles was a great waitress, super kind and hard working man. Dinner was amazing, he was on top of it!

We are regular customers 1.21.25 126p Paisley P. Genuinely kind! Very amazing personality! Was our waitress she is professional and well skilled at her job. We truly enjoy the team at this location. The food is always good as well. Big Richard 469.877.9982 read more

The food was so good I loved the ambiance was amazing and it was clean the service was amazing

Their pancakes are no comparison to IHOP and IHOP's sausage is better as is the service and wait time for food.

The night Tim's crew is horrible. Took 30 minutes longer than what was. Told. The app said food was ready for pick up but still had to wait 30 more minutes. The food was not great. Orders were not correct. Just a bad deal all the way around. At least the hostess was nice. Crazy because there were only a couple people even dining in at the time. read more

If you have thin skin, move on, DON'T read this! To the previous folks who wrote bad reviews, sit down! It's clear to me those people haven't realized we are in a pandemic. And with that pandemic we have a few people still working vs reaping the unemployment benefits. I mentioned in another review that Red Oak, Texas has "Now Hiring" signs EVERYWHERE! Ding ding ding..... that should be your first sign! Stay focused, y'all act like this is the first time you have EVER experienced slow service, or no service. Call the cable company and stay on hold, only to get disconnected, cell company, mortgage company, the pharmacy! But y'all complain about the hand that feeds you during this unfortunate time. Write about those places, they are on Yelp as well to review....I do. Those who need to complain about the manager, roflmao! I have been here, morning, noon, and evenings on various days. Guess who is here! THE MANAGER! Imagine that, the Manager never sleeps, and maintains employees who are happy. He has built an incredible rapport with the few who are working. Love the uplifting attitude of the lady at the cash register, who will also seat you, if she can step away. She could be my kindred spirit! Now about the food, let me adjust my Duchess Crown! Can't complain. I forget to check in at times on Yelp. But from the club sandwich to the breakfast, it's fresh and brought out as ordered. I've had the hamburger, salads and no complaints. The servers are hustling and bustling, doing a job I can't keep up with. I appreciate ALL THE STAFF HERE, all 6 of y'all, jk, jk. I don't know how many, but it's not like it was 1 1/2 years ago, and I get it. Denny's has ample parking. Remember they are busy as they are also off the highway for all travelers to visit. So it's not just the locals in Red Oak, Texas. Get some rest Mr Vampire Manager! Don't let em beat you down, you GOT this! #Southside #EllisCounty read more

Our Food Came Out Hot and Fast ... Even my kids finished everything. The Service was amazing , he stayed on top of drink and what needed. Ambiance was chill and good for my family. We love the Dennys in Red Oak read more

A bit hesitant to stop with all the poor reviews. It took a minute to get seated but you could see the waiter and manager were both busy waiting on folks. Got seated and the drink was delivered quickly. The place is dated but was very clean. The Cali skillet was awesome! My food was served hot and had great taste. Drink refills were on pint and Jayden provided excellent service. The manager at the desk was super friendly as well. Folks there were working hard to get it right. I'll definitely be back soon! YUM read more

We came here to eat a late dinner and the little server lady didn't so much as introduce herself when she came to the table to take our drink orders. Once we gave her the drink orders she didn't acknowledge them but simply walked off. Apparently we were an interruption to her night so we left. We don't have time for bs service even if it is just Denny's: read more

Stopped for what we thought would be a reliable quick bite to eat while traveling through. Turned into a 2 hour disappointment all around. Disgusting over cooked, nearly inedible food and terrible service. read more

Denny's in Red Oak - Disappointing Dinner Experience  We chose Denny's in Red Oak for dinner this evening. Unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory.  We were one of only 3 table dining at that time. Service:  Our server, Tania, was nice and greeted us as we walked in and seated us quickly.  Food/Drinks: For drinks we had water and coffee.  The coffee was lukewarm, but after telling Tania, she brought out hot coffee.    I ordered the bourbon chicken skillet and garlic bread.  The garlic bread was good. However, the bourbon chicken skillet had no flavor and rubbery, including the chicken.  It all tasted like frozen unseasoned food.  I took 2 bites and left the rest and was not refunded.  We had an order of waffles that were so overcooked that they could not be eaten and were sent back and refunded, not reordered.  The scrambled eggs and bacon were good.  Unfortunately, I only received an "I'm sorry" from the manager for the bourbon chicken skillet.   Overall: This visit to Denny's in Red Oak was disappointing.  The combination of substandard food and lack of customer service/satisfaction, specifically from the manager, made for an unpleasant dining experience. I hope upper management addresses these issues promptly to improve the experience for future customers. read more

While coming in for a group late night dinner, our server A'Mya was very attentive. She attended to all of our needs as a group of 6. The food was decent. The pancakes were a little over cooked. Aside from the overcooked pancakes, there was an issue with the card reader. The card reader had a malfunction causing my group to be in the restaurant for an extra 30 minutes after finishing our meals. The server attempted resetting the machine twice. The server then called multiple managers via her cellphone. She made between 5 and 8 calls to different people for assistance and received no answer from anyone. When I asked about the manager on site, the server informed me that there were NO MANAGERS in the building and that they are not supposed to leave them alone. Due to there not being any proper management available to assist and a malfunctioning machine, we continued to wait inside the building. There was another associate who would not give us her name and she appeared to be Caucasian. This associate told us "after this issue, y'all better leave a tip." She was completed disrespectful to us as we respectfully waited for our server A'Mya to finish fixing the card reader. She then asked us if we could cash app her or apply pay her even though we informed her that we were paying with a credit card. The Caucasian lady who appeared to be a cook, told us that if we were to leave, she would be calling the police. Due to her statements it seemed as if we were being racially profiled due to being a mixed group of young African Americans and Hispanics. After about 30-40 minutes, A'Mya was able to fix the card reader by swapping them out with another register. Overall, there were not many issues regarding the food, however as far as the customer service skills, this restaurant has A LOT of improvement to do. I would not be happily returning to THIS location. read more

Although there was a bit of a rocky start, I had a pretty "grand" dining experience. Our server, Katia, was extremely kind and was also attentive. We ordered a Grand Slam and Cinnamon Poll pancakes to eat, and my-oh-my those cinnamon roll pancakes were decadent!! They came out so warm honestly blew me away! Our hash browns, bacon, and sausage came out first and they were so delicious and comforting. The entire restaurant team put a lot of effort into making sure everyone was seated and fed. I will be returning!! read more

Charlie Holbrook is the best waitress ever. She's got such a good attitude and very sweet. She checked on us to see if everything was going good and the food was good. We never had to ask for more to drink or anything. She's the best!!!!!!! I will ask for her every time. read more

Tony husband and daughter dine In here Saturday morning, and when I tell you this place was awesome! It was clean, the food was prepared fast and it tasted perfect. The staff was friendly and the manager was on point. This will now be our Saturday dine in spot. read more

Unfortunately this place isn't like it used to be. Service isn't great, food is cold and it's not always clean.

I never really took a liking to Danny's because of the things that I heard over the years so I have never eaten there. This was actually the first time, and I can say that the other foods that I saw other people getting appeared to be very good they said that it tasted very good , but I know that The cinnamon roll pancakes are delicious! read more

Food was cold , service was horrible ! Waiter did the best he could but they put him in a bad position DONT GO HERE read more

Denny's - Some kind of something , man this place is HORRIBLE ! I never leave reviews but this one took the cake ! - Diners Near Me - Red Oak, Texas

Something is different with IHOP. Walked inside to be greeted with a warm welcome from Jessica. After being seated, I was happily informed that she was going to be my server. Was given no more than an appropriate amount of time to look at the menu to find something new to eat. As the cooks rushed out a delicious meal, my server Jessica was quick and attentive to my drink and my order. All together she made a wonderful dining experience and I look forward to my next visit. read more

I want start by saying I truly apologize to the mid morning waitress/hostess I have never asked her name I will ask next time with that being said she had red hair when say this woman Everytime I come in she has never been rude nor treated me like a rush job she always smiles and welcomes me sincerely she always repeats my order back to me and if I ask her she gives honest answers her red hair and her beautiful vibe that she gives off I always feel comfortable with her when walk through the door I say to myself yessss my girl here and I met her months ago and she had been the same each time I truly appreciate her she makes me the best smoothies or tea while I wait because I stop there when I have late shift and to make sure my grandson have breakfast no matter what she is so amazing I hope this one Day reaches her because she is such an amazing woman thank you so much read more

Horrible service me and my children waited at the door for atleast 15 min to be sat. There was a man waiting on a to go order and the manager told him she didn't know when it would be ready. Once we finally got sat I was served Luke warm coffee. I asked for water for all us I never received any. Hot chocolate had large chunks in it. Water, coffee; and hot chocolate all went bone dry no offer for refill. Daughter ordered a shake, never saw a shake. We sat there for one hour amd 20 min without any communication from anyone and never received any food. I was going to wait for someone to approach our table so I could atleast pay for drinks and no one showed back up. The table behind us had gotten there after us and had already received their food and finished eating and is still nothing. We got up and walked out. Not my style but it's pretty disrespectful to be ignored or forgotten. I'm come from higher up in the service industry and I understand we sometimes come up short handed. But... communication is the key and you definitely don't have any or the appropriate kind being delivered. Dennys needs to step up their management. I def won't be back. Whataburger got us in and out in 20 min read more

Visited Dennys this morning with the family. We had the absolute best service. From the sweet host sitting us , to our waitress Tara , and on to the manager at check out. First , let me say our food was delicious. The cooks did a great job. Everything was hot, tasted delicious and portions were good. Next, our waitress Tara. Bravo!! you did a FANTASTIC job. We were a party of 6 and you handled us ( which isn't easy ) and all your other tables with perfection. We also noticed your teamwork in helping the young bus boy as well as others servers / tables. Me and my family truly enjoyed you. Lastly, the manager Mike is AWESOME at his job. He definitely knows how to run a store. We witnessed him SEVERAL times helping his staff. From getting drinks, to taking food, to cleaning tables and so on. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say , he's the type of person that won't ask his staff to do something he won't do himself. GREAT JOB RED OAK DENNYS!! read more

I had the 55+ omelet with hash browns and gluten free English muffin. It was really good, perfect portion. I really like that they will substitute turkey bacon, and that the gluten free muffin was no extra charge. Our waitress, Billie, saw that our server was busy, and came over to serve us. What teamwork! read more

The Regional Manager at Denny's in Red Oak probably thinks that we forgot about what we saw on Christmas day when we went to eat at Denny's but we didn't forget.  Life got a little hectic but I wanted to be sure to leave this review every single place possible because what we witnessed on Christmas was atrocious and unacceptable!   There were 5 of us who decided to have Christmas dinner at Denny's.  We chose Denny's because one of my sisters had been in the hospital ICU for 12 days and wanted to eat somewhere close.    When we pulled up, the handicapped parking space was taken by a big box truck with no sticker and no place card.  My sister has a handicapped place card and wasn't able to walk very far so the first thing I did when we walked in was ask for the manager to see if he would find out who parked their box truck in the handicapped spot because my sister needed it.  The manager came to the front and pretty much said there was nothing he could do.  He didn't care in the slightest. I decided to let that go and we were sat at a table where we waited for over 30 minutes for our drink orders to be taken (mind you, it was not that busy when we were there at 3pm).  We finally got our drinks but while sitting there waiting for someone to take our order (45 minutes after we had gotten there), all of the sudden my son's fiancée's jaw fell open and she let out a gasp! We all looked over at her and she said that she witnessed the manager (THE MANAGER) open a bagged salad with his teeth and proceed to dump it in some container.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? We were FURIOUS!  I mean, not only is that a health code violation and not only is it absolutely disgusting but we are in the middle of the COVID Pandemic and the MANAGER is opening bagged salad with his teeth!!!!!  This was all we needed to see.  I saw several other men walking around the kitchen who looked like they were some type of manager so I motioned one of them over to our table and asked him for the number to the corporate office.  He asked me why I needed it and what was wrong.  I told him that I did not want to discuss it with him but wanted the number for corporate and wanted his store number.  He told me that he was the Regional Manager so corporate would just end up calling him to handle any issues and he would not give me the number unless I told him why I wanted it, so, I told him what was witnessed.  He said he was sorry that happened and he said he would take care of it and walked away.  I was not happy with his nonchalant attitude and told him that I would find the number to corporate myself and of course we immediately left and went somewhere else to eat for our own safety. It took all that I had not to stand up in the middle of the restaurant and tell everyone what we just saw. This is a health risk to the public!!!!  To have people, especially the MANAGER, opening bagged salad with their freaking teeth!!!   Never will I ever eat at the Denny's in Red Oak again, and I intend to let the health department know about what was witnessed as well. Denny's in Red Oak is a no go for me and my family going forward.  Considering what the manager did, I would be deathly afraid of catching COVID or some other disease, and people need to be made aware of what happened and the nonchalant attitude the Regional Manager displayed for their own safety. read more

We used to come here before COVID-19 and never had an issue. We ordered curbside pickup today and ordered a "pick 3 shareable appetizer" (tenders, fries, and chips and queso) and two entrees. We were allowed to pick 3 different sauces for the tenders. We were given a total of TWO Tenders. At the very least we got to sample their sauces. We also had to turn around to pick up the queso because they forgot to include it in our bag. read more

The manager I presume, was in the most censored way, an absolute prick. We had someone come in 30 minutes in advance to save us seating for 20. Upon arrival, no seating had been arranged and the manger ignored to even acknowledge us. I stood at the podium only to have him stare me down and talk in a demeaning manner. "It's going to be 20 minutes...or more," as he stared me down. He was disrespectful to me in my youth and our oldest party member (a mentor for the group) only to spit back, "fine," as we threatened to leave after being ignored for an additional 10 minutes. We will not be returning- poor service! The managers name was Rashed. He is the man who gave us this awful service and experience! Definitely don't dine in if he's on duty!!! read more
