we go to the Rutland Vermont Denny's for our Friday night dinners and always have great service and food. i like sitting in Ninja's area because he is always pleasant, kind and always a smile for his customers. His service is excellent and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is right. Thank you Ninja read more

Service was nothing but abysmal. The man who seated took a while to actually seat us, and why it took a while was because he was angry because they were short staffed . When we were seated it was like a 100 yard dash to the table. Never even said hi, and told us are waitresses name. Just threw the menus down and ran somewhere else. Then after a while our waitress finally comes to help us. Says what are you having, and then takes out drinks, and leaves. Minutes later we finally get our drinks then we order an appetizer, she looked dissatisfied because we didn't order our entrees yet. She then left, and came back yet again what felt like forever with the appetizer, and then I asked her for a water, and she left again with out any acknowledgment that she heard me, came back with the water and then took our dinner orders, I had asked for country fried steak, and then she thought I said country fried chicken and I responded with I said the country fried steak then scolded me saying that she needs to know the difference and that I need to make up my mind, had to tell her that I under stand, and that I wanted the country fried steak, took the orders of the other people I was with, and never took a minute to see what else we needed. Came back with entres, and then that was the last time we saw her until she threw down the receipt. read more

Waitress over worked. Food tasty though. My wife is an excellent tipper----not here. Ask for two things and never got them!! The service here was poor at best because of not enough help. Won't return. read more

We stopped here before when visiting Vermont from New York. My husband remembered how delicious the burgers were. He ordered a burger on our recent visit and again rated it very good. My veggie burger although flavorful was I am sure a Pre made frozen pattie. What made me give the Rutland Denny's a 5 star was the service. The hostess greeted us as if she was happy to see us. Our waitress , KATIE, was great. She had another 6-7 tables besides us. She greeted everyone with a smile and took everyone's order correctly and fast. Food was delivered again with a smile. Katie should give lectures around the country on how to be the best waitstaff you could be. read more

i got a door dash order of a chicken tender meal my dasher was great dennys was not they forgot my fries and undercooked my chicken tenders i bit into it and it was still raw the chicken was still clucking in my mouth screaming for help read more

Worst salad I've ever had! Absolutely disgusting! The next table over sent theirs back. You would've thought they would've tossed it all out after that! Short staffing aside, it took 20mins to get 1 coffee and 2 ice waters and the place wasn't busy at all. Never again! read more

The Denny's closest to me closed last year. So I was surprised to find one during my vacation. However I was extremely disappointed... We waited to be seated for 15 minutes. The menu has gotten more complex and isn't as easy to order. When I did...they messed up on my substitution. Also my fries were bone cold. My guest said his coffee was also cold and his chicken was too seasoned. The waitress was apologetic but seemed stressed and rushed (I dont think they are used to it being this busy). Overall. Tonight's experience is more or less an omen to maybe as to why the franchise is severely struggling. Complex menu...poor guest/customer service...and underwhelming food on your plate :/ read more

We had a late breakfast at Denny's recently. Service and food were excellent given being short staffed. Will be back soon!!

Well, talk about a case of "When in Rome..." At Denny's in Vermont, real maple syrup as an option! I know it's just a little thing, but man, what a different experience from that high fructose corn syrup with a tan. There's a small upcharge, but you get 1 1/2 ounces of the real stuff in a little sealed cup, which is more than enough for two or three pancakes. Mmm, definitely made my morning. Friendly service, Dennys decent quality as expected. read more

We went last night Sunday July 26, 2020. We were a party of 4 and our server Robert had waited on us once before and he remembered all of our drinks. He did an amazing job from greeting us to presenting the bill. We will absolutely come back again. Thank you Robert. read more

On Friday, August 13th, I called in my order & spoke to Libby. She was so patient while taking my order. And when I went to go pick up, she was so friendly and let me know about different things to do while in town this weekend. Great customer service! Food was good. read more

The service is horrible, they waitress they to busy talking to each other the ignore you, and at the time they serve you the food is cool. And it take to long for the food to be serve. I gave them many chances no more and the managers are useless. read more

When I first walked into Denny's, the staff greeted the 5 of us very friendly. We sat down and waited very little for our food. When we got our food it was great. My little brother even went to say that it was his favorite restaurant. Everything was so clean too, it really was a once and a lifetime experience. I ordered a cheeseburger. My Mom ordered a salad. My older brother and my Dad ordered a burger too, and my little brother got a grilled-cheese. The cheese on my burger was melty and delicious. The patty cooked to perfection. I could hear the crunch of my mom's salad, but she got full and took the rest home. My older brother and my Dad ate their whole burgers ( so must have been good). My younger brother didn't like his grilled-cheese. So we ordered him something else (chicken fingers). As we walked to our car, we all agreed to coming back there. Dennys had a very casual look, but I didn't care too much what Dennys looked like because I was paying attention to eating my food. The food was definitely the best thing, along with all the nice waiters. I can't wait to go back to Denny's and you shouldn't too. read more

We go there a lot. Good food.You could get a lot of money off your meal with the coupons before Covid.

I was happily surprised to see what Dennis had become. Excellent menu and attentive staff.

10/10 do not recommend coming to this location. Our table and silverware are dirty, the chairs have crumbs all over them, and the air ventilation smells like urine and BO. They are out of a many items. The service was shitty, our waitress didn't smile at all, and it took 40 minutes for the food to arrive to our table. My pancakes were butt and it looked like a 6 year old put it together. I have been to many other locations and had been very pleased with my visits, but I will never come back to this location. If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

Can't rate the food as we were never seated. Waited about 15 minutes while three employees made eye contact but never said a word to us. Then they proceeded to talk and gossip behind the counter. The one person who actually said something to us was another customer seated at the counter who proceeded to tell us that there was only one cook and she was waiting for an hour and a half without any food. Mind you, this was on a Friday night. I can deal with one cook but the fact that three employees made eye contact but never said a word is inexcusable. I was really looking forward to dennys as all of the restaurants have closed near my home read more

I've had better. And I've had better at THIS Denny's. It seemed like the entire staff was just off. We were seated and waited several minutes until one server told another she had not got to our table to get our drink order and had not got another tables order. That other table had waited so long the had finished their drinks. We ordered apps and everything looked sloppy. Nachos and cheesesticks. I don't know if they microwaved the cheesesticks or if the just weren't fried long enough. They weren't even warm enough to call lukewarm. My son got a new to the menu burger and the grease made the bun soggy. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with mushrooms. They forgot the mushrooms. It was just a bad experience overall. read more

Denny's is defiantly a great hangout place for friends, especially since its open 24 hours. I have had very good food, but also undercooked food. I have gotten cold coffee before and sometimes the staff doesn't even care to even fill my cup. I have had pancakes that still had the batter coming out of them. But yet, I have had days where they filled my coffee 2-3 times, and it was fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection, and service was great. Denny's can be hit or miss anytime you go, but for the price I will take it read more

Horrible service! I ordered through the app, I asked for curbside delivery. My food was supposed to be ready at 4:51, I called at 4:55 to let them know I was here... they obviously were not paying attention, because when I called they didn't know anything about it. I was told then, that it would be a few more minutes. They did not bring the food out until 5:17. I had an appointment at 5:30!!! I was not impressed! read more

Pleasantly met at the front door by a manager who was mopping the floor at 7:30an on a Saturday morning when it would have been much better to have been done before opening at 6 am and the floor looks like a steam clean is a few years overdue as it is. I ordered poached eggs, Hollandaise on the side, crispy hash browns and sausage links as well as coffee. Not a tall order you might say to yourself....... Oh I forgot to mention there were 2 managers and 2 waitstaff as well as 2 cooks and maybe a dozen patrons so service was definitely prompt and attentive but all you could hear the whole time there was the staff chatting about things that the patron doesn't want or shouldn't hear...... really annoying then on top of the background chit chat I hear about 3-4 times in the BOH " crispy hash browns " like it's a novel orderthen the food arrives .... Poached eggs where good except the water in the bottom of the monkey dish, the Hollandaise was ok just met expectations so far..... now those crispy hash browns where so dark and crispy that they lost all recognition regarding any taste left in them and the link sausages where unrecognizable as they had been floating in the deep fryer until their color was mahogany, shriveled and tasteless as well so with the addition or plenty of ketchup I managed half the plate probably because I had been up since 2 am after dropping a relative off at Albany airport, oh I did get a pleasant good bye as well as the military discount if this is helpful and the coffee was hot and decent...... read more

So we come here to Denny's in Rutland Vermont often. Over time the service seems to be falling apart. We were here on 1-9-2020 and the speed of the service was very slow and we had five people in our party that night and two of us got meals that were not as ordered and missing parts of what we requested. So tonight 1-17-2020 we came here with a party of 4 and all four of us had meals the were missing parts or were incorrect after strongly stressing how we wanted them. I am not sure if there is a lack of training or if there is a lack of caring for what the customers have ordered. We really used to enjoy coming here but we are getting to the point where we will need to find a new place to meet with family and friend to get a bite to eat. read more

The food was ok, my husband had the senior turkey dinner with a smoothie, I had the cobb salad which had a lot of lettuce but also other veggies, hard boiled egg and avocado which was close to being past it's prime. None of the staff had masks on, the restaurant itself was not very clean, the cushion in our booth had a huge rip. Our waitress was very pleasant but so overworked that when we wanted to leave, she didn't have time to come over to give me a container for my leftovers and our bill. We asked someone else to get her, it was still a long time after before she finally came. She apologized - but not her fault - there seemed to be a number of other people working behind the counter and not that busy - they should have helped her with her tables. When we paid our bill and were asked how everything was - I complained about waiting so long and was told, "Well, we are busy." Not, oh I'm sorry, we need more help etc. Also, my husband said that he didn't get cranberry sauce with his turkey dinner. The man at the register asked to see our receipt so he could tell the person in the kitchen to make sure the next people get it - hmm, that doesn't help my husband who didn't get it and couldn't ask for it because the waitress was overworked. I would have been satisfied if he had just said, we are sorry. We did feel sorry for the waitress -she was very pleasant, but couldn't possibly do her best without more help. read more

Waited 21 minutes before the waitress, Amanda, even knowledge us after walking by our table 3 times and take our order for a beverage! The serve was terribl!! read more

First time back at Denny's in Rutland, VT in ten years and it was fantastic! Newly remodeled inside and out which looks great but even more impressed with the food and service! Our server Jenn was outstanding and the manager went out of her way to make sure we were satisfied! We will become regulars for sure! Thanks for a great meal Denny's and for the amazing service! Nan Hart - Rutland VT read more

Good ole fashioned black hair in the eggs! Caught it before I took a bite. Too bad my order was to go and their phone isn't working. I honestly expect nothing less from Denny's! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would! We'd had a long day and just wanted some hot, simple food for a late dinner. We found that Denny's had online ordering, so we took the time to very specifically find (The online menu needs some help, IMHO) and order things for pick up...A salad, a couple'a burgers, a sam'which....Easy Breezy, right? 15 minutes and it will be ready? COOL! This is GREAT! WELL...not so much. When we got there to pick up our order....nothing was ready. Had to wait, and wait, and WAIT. We FINALLY got our order, after alternately being largely ignored and being told "it'll be up soon!" ...and when we got it home, an entire entree was missing! So, after insisting that we start w/out her, our host went BACK to Denny's to retrieve the missing meal. In the meantime, the rest of us started eating...which after all this time, was a disappointment- this sandwich was cold, that burger was lukewarm but over-cooked and dry, etc etc etc. We were starving so we ate what we had while our host's food got even more cold. When she arrived back at Denny's, the missing item was there, warm & toasty and waiting for her (sooo obviously just done, since everything else had been chill-to-lukewarm). Speaking of lukewarm, the apology received from management and staff was lukewarm and ungenuine...just like my love for this location. Stressful, ridiculous and disappointing...avoid this spot and hit up the Ninety-Nine across the road or 5 Guys down the road in the other direction, instead. This experience probably ruined my Denny's experience forever! read more

Food was good. Service was okay. Waitress talked to much. Also- what is yext? Denny's is handing out review cards with yext.... what?

Unfortunate experience. While they weren't unfriendly, the service was lacking and the food was sub-par. Literally half the orders at our table were incorrect. They did attempt to correct, but it still wasn't right second time around. The restaurant design was nice, but staff needs more training and attention to detail. read more

We ate here twice while We were travelling through the area. A dinner and breakfast. Food was good and the Service was Great.

Wonderful! Came for breakfast and returned for dinner. Service was prompt and friendly, prices are reasonable. It's clean - even the bathrooms. Wait staff is attentive but not intrusive. The food was delicious. read more

Absolute worst dining experience ever! No silverware - never checked back to see how our meal was - food looked terrible - bacon tasted like cardboard ! Toast was hard as a rock - kids meal came it was 5 nuggets on a plate with nothing else -terrible terrible terrible smh!! Should be put out of its misery read more

Terrible service, great redesign, horrible staff. Neds fixing, I've stopped at a gas station and gotten better service.

Really liked it! I felt as my grandma cooked for us, it was fresh, tasty, nice size portions. I had chorizo with vegetables and 2 eggs on the top. Chorizo was nicely spiced, fresh mushrooms, eggs cooked just right, my friends had omelet, turkey club and soup. They were happy. I thought that 1.99 for a regular tea at the diner was little too much but quality of food worth it read more

Food is cheap and processed however prizes are high. Service is decent but nothing great. Silverware wasn't clean and there were other patrons around are so out of shape that there shirts didn't cover what they were made for. Appetite lost. read more

It's Denny's don't come here expecting too much. Food- Mostly edible Atmosphere- It's a restaurant Service- not good, not bad Prices- reasonable For my money the Panera down the road is a better early morning choice. read more

service was great i went during the morning so i can't speak for the other shifts but i had a great experience at the denny's in Rutland. i have been to other denny's and by far this has been the best one i have been to the food came out in a timely manner. our waitress was on top of everything we may have needed. can't remember her name but it was like a liqour name going of subject. but it was a great place and good for any budget. I was even more surprised by the manager going around and asking how everyone was doing you don't see that very often. i will be stopping in at denny's any time i come to Rutland now. read more
