Ok - this is a 5 star review based on expectations one would have of a Denny's or similar restaurant. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess. Our waitress Hilda was funny- immediately cracking jokes and making people smile. She also gave her honest assessment of food choices and did not steer us wrong. They are lucky to have her! Our food arrived quickly and at the proper temperature. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. The bathroom was clean but the floor was a bit dated. The restaurant appeared clean. Probably one of the better dining options near the grand lodge. It's not fine dining but for a Dennys- it's pretty darn good. read more

we came to eat breakfast, my husband went to bathroom, as he was washing hands one of the kitchen waitstaff was in stall taking a dump, comes out of stall looks in mirror combs his hair then went back to kitchen with no hands washed. we left abruptly. read more

With it's convenient location next to an Econo Lodge off of I-39 headed north, this Denny's location was full when we arrived. They seem a bit under-staffed, as I saw only two line cooks and two waitresses despite a slew of customers. Despite the lack of coverage, the waitress took our order quickly. We expected a wait, and it was not terrible - when I first noticed we were waiting, the food arrived almost immediately after. The hash browns were spot on. Mine came with a crunchy brown sear, and while I lime less white, fluffy hash browns, I did not ask them to cook them special, so I have to live with my choice. The toast was also a nicely toasted rye bread with some visible caraway seeds. It tasted like a good rye bread should taste. This is the point where the review goes south. We knew we'd have to wait given the crowd, but if I have to wait, I expect hot food when it arrives. The eggs, while perfectly cooked over easy, were lukewarm - along with the bacon, sausage, and ham. I'm well-aware that a place like this pre-cooks the meat, so they can meet a rush. My issue is that a warmer keeps the meat Luke-warm. Pretty much everyone with access to cable TV and the food Network knows that if you pre-cook the meat, you get it on the flat top prior to dropping the eggs to ensure that you serve up hot, tasty meat. That did not happen hear. The bacon had good flavor, but since it did not revisit the flat top, it came back flaccid, not crispy. The sausage tasted like the teacher in Charlie Brown specials talks - mwah, mwah, mwah. Getting it back on the flat top would have allowed better browning and the introduction of actual flavor. The ham tasted...disgusting. I like a good ham steak with a meat lovers type breakfast, but this did not even taste like ham. I think I was eight the last time I had to actually spit something in my napkin because it tasted so gross. The rye toast and the two buttermilk pancakes that come with the Lumberjack Slam allow this score to sit at two stars instead of one. Use of the flat top might have elevated this to three stars, but alas, ''twas not meant to be." I can't recommend that you stop here. Honestly, if you want a good breakfast, head north to The Log Cabin on Schofield Ave. It is not as convenient as a Denny's next to the hotel, but your taste buds will appreciate the trip. read more

See all

Service was okay. Never asked if I wanted a drink refill or anything and just set my bill on the table. The food was terrible- the hash browns were rock hard! Couldn't even cut them with a knife. Bacon was very tiny strips. My toast must have had a huge hole through the loaf so my two pieces were missing much of the bread. The place was clean. But would never go back. read more

Everything tasted great. The service was good, crayons and coloring menu for the babies, tasty.

Always good food. Has a good selection of dishes to choose from. Milk shakes are great

Denny's has definitely gone downhill as of lately. Had more fun at my grandmothers funeral then at Denny's. The food was sub par, tasted like how my parents view me, a disappointment. Also dissatisfied with the lack of MILFS in this establishment. Also the pricing is extremely expensive, I've spent less on wings in a strip club in Vegas and were more satisfied than them. Overall not bad. read more

Good food although their was a long string of purple hair in my eggs I still ate it 4.5/5 read more

Ordered chicken fried steak. What I got was not steak. Was not even real meat. Some kind of gray paste they were pretending was meat. Major fail! read more

Denny's has definitely gone down hill since I was a kid. I used to love this restaurant, but the one in here isn't great. There is one waitress we always seem to get that always gets the order wrong. Something is always missing or we get something we didn't even order. The food lacks flavor. The menu has little to no options anymore because of COVID. I understand needing to down size the menu, but we were very surprised on how little of a variety there was. We have tried to give them a chance, but between lack luster serves and bland food, we won't be going back anymore. At least not to the one here. read more

Great food, great service! Everything was amazing! Was in Wausau for the holidays to visit family, and we came here for brunch. Everyone loved their food and once again the service was fantastic! read more

Almost all Wisconsin diners absolutely suck. Bland rotten food. Thank god for having a dennys here to save me when i want decent diner food. read more

Food was great once we received it. Service sucked royally. Felt bad for cooks server yelling at them. Husband had coffee cup wasn't clean and sat empty until we got our food. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

We've become coupon clippers in our old age. Ok, we're only in our early 30s, but we're new parents, a student and a part-time employee - we're learning to love the coupons! I very excitedly clipped a coupon that promised a $.99 entree with the price of another! Hell yes, I'll take a $.99 entree! So, we decided to celebrate a Friday by eating dinner at Dennys! Gotta say, I'm impressed! I hadn't been to a Dennys since I was 9 months pregnant in Texas and craving their french toast at some ungodly hour. I did NOT have the french toast this time, I had the santa fe skillet and I gotta tell you - it was damn delicious! I don't remember what my husband had as I was so obsessed with what was in front of me, but I'm sure he liked it. I think it involved eggs. The atmosphere was lovely and I enjoyed the hell out of the ridiculous conversation of the high school loves behind me. I couldn't resist eavesdropping and I'm pretty sure I was never that ridiculous. I'm also pretty sure that Ashley needs to dump that loser... anyway... overall we had a really lovely and exciting Friday night out at Dennys and I look forward to clipping more coupons for this lovely little establishment. read more

Ripped off. Waitress was too busy or just unhappy to care. Food was good but I'm not happy about being charged for things without being advised before hand read more

I eat at Denny's 2-4 times a week. I am always happy with my food and the staff. The management always seems to be around and helping out when needed. Samantha is always awesome. I like the variety of the menu because it does change. I can go anywhere and get boring good. I come to Dennys for something different and I am never disappointed. This Denny's is also very clean!!!! Having worked in food service myself many years ago I am kind of a stickler when we go out to eat. I am happy I don't have to worry about filth when eating here. read more

This was probably the worst Denny's experience I have had in a very long time. First, they are re-paving the parking lot so there is no access from Hwy XX. Why re-do your parking lot and close off both entry points? Better project management would have kept one of the entry's open. Next, when we finally figured out how to get into the parking lot and walked in, it took the hostess about 10 minutes to appear and seat us. The good arrived very quickly (thus saving them a 1 stars review from me) and was to order. If the rest of the night went normally, I would have given this a 3 star review. But we sat for 15-20 minutes after we were all clearly done and waiting for our bill. I finally got up and asked the waitress for the bill. Experiences like this are the reason I normally stay away from these types of places. read more

We have eaten at Dennys for years. Recently there seems to a fresh new atmosphere. The wait staff goes out of the way to please. The new menus are marked with Gluten Free items. Our family needs this. They are one of the few chain restaurants that have vegetables that are good tasting. It seems to be a friendlier happier place. The discounts are great too (as seniors we appreciate that). Keep up the good work. Because we have been treated so well we now have high expectations. read more

Nov 2021 We always go for breakfast but this time we went for supper. There were only a handful of cars in the parking lot and four occupied tables in the front area. They had a full wait staff; a hostess, a busser, and at least four waitresses. They took our order and we waited and waited and waited. Food kept getting brought up to the front for takeout, but no-one in the restaurant was getting food. And the waitresses were no where to be seen. After half an hour, the table across from us, who had been done eating the whole time we were there, finally got their bill and left. After another 15 minutes, my husband got up to see if our food was on a counter somewhere and we were rudely told by the waitstaff that our food will be brought out when it is ready. 10 minutes later, we finally go our food, which was put on our table without a word. Maybe they were embarrassed but couldn't bring themselves to apologize for the 55 minute wait. I wouldn't have had such an issue if our waitress had once come to see if we needed anything, explained the wait or even apologized. We will not be going back for dinner again. They should just close the restaurant for dinner service and only sell take out. I'm sure it isn't very profitable for the waitstaff since their tips have to be little to nothing. Note; ee have gone back for breakfast and the food and service was still good. read more

I've eaten at this Denny's many times! Food is always great and service above average! I've never been disappointed at this location or most of their locations nationwide! read more

AWFUL. I came here on my anniversary. AND THE SERVICE I GOT WAS ASS. I came in, took a few minutes to get greeted, when there was only two other tables with customers. I was seated with my girlfriend and we got water right away, like we asked, five minutes pass and we still haven't had a waiter or waitress come to the table. Another five minutes. Nothing. Another five. Still nothing. At this point I was getting really fed up. Another couple was seated and got service right away and ordered their food, even though we had not had any service. I felt discriminated against because of my sexuality. Utter garbage. After 20 minutes of waiting I was finally done and proceeded to storm out the door WITH AN EMPTY STOMACH read more

Our party of three was immediately acknowledged when we walked in. The host cleaned off a table for us and we were seated right away. The reason I'm not giving this a five star review...the food came out cold, typically a hot breakfast on a Sunday morning is preferable. The waitress was very attentive and respectful however, I feel that your bill should not come to the table at the same time as your food. Experience was fair but could use some improvements. read more

Went there late night. Table was clean. Bathroom VERY cold, a few of my friends kept on bringing this up. I agree it was cold and dirty. Took the waiter 20 minutes to get my friends water. Took 30 minutes for my husband and friend to get their salads. Took 40 minutes to get refills and it was a lady who asked us if we needed refills, not our waiter. So did appreciate that part. My drink was good... was called dream something or another. Some food seemed ok and some was good. read more

I ate there the other day, sat at the bar...and the service was "okay." I thought the coffee was really good, and I decided that I wanted to go back there today for breakfast. Got there, sat at the bar, was the ONLY person at the bar, and waited 15 minutes before thinking I was just going to walk out. There were servers, EVERYWHERE. Three of them were rolling silverware, one stocked napkins RIGHT in front of me...Am I invisible? I was a server for many years at many different restaurants, so I know how this goes. You do not need three servers rolling silverware, 4 other standing around gawking in the server station, and people not being served at the bar which is CONVENIENTLY right there in front of everyone! Including the manager that walked by! Pretty disappointed, hope someone saw me walk out. Not cool. read more

I will never eat there ever again. read more

It is in a word, Denny's. They welcome people to sit and talk, eat and leave, or enjoy a group meal. It not fresh as it is a lot of processed and heated. The kitchen staff doesn't always get it right, but they will correct it if you ask. Nice atmosphere, and kid friendly. They try and its nice, but not stellar. read more

I had breakfast this morning at Denny's. Needless to say for how many servers, waitresses and in general employees that were working this morning, to the amount of people that were in the restaurant (maybe 7 customers) my experience was the worst. My waitress only came 2 times. That was to take our order and seat us at the table. We had to get another employee to fill our glasses. Then as we got our food, my order was wrong... Let's just say I won't be eating here again. read more

They had awful food. Plain and simple. It was expected to be good from past experiences, but this one, no would not suggest. The service was awful too. read more

The orders are rarely correct. The standard Denny's items are sub-par compared to other Denny's. While you get a single waitress that provides superior service, most of them are too busy socializing - with each other - to notice their customers. Concerns sent to management are ignored. Have given this location several tries. Last night we waited to be seated, waited for beverages, waited for food - it was ridiculous, considering there were only 4 tables with diners and about 7 waitresses. They had time to clean the floors, but no time for diners? We scratched this Denny's off our list. read more

I always look forward to going to Denny's. You are always greeted by friendly servers and the restaurant is always clean, even at its busiest times. Samantha always does table checks and stops to chat and ask how everything is. Samantha is a super multitasker. I have seen her cooking when needed, she does the expo line, and works the register. I have worked in food service for a long time, and recognize a well oiled machine that runs smooth! read more

its cool for the kids eat free after 4pm, but the service at this location is slow and they are never busy!!!
