I took the last flight from Atlanta to Tampa and after picking up my rental car I decided to get some food. I was going to go to another food spot that's opened late other than fast food off of Hillsborough but instead I stopped at Denny's nearby by the airport instead. When I walked in a gentleman who ended up being my actual server was assisting other customers who were checking out. instead of waiting I just grabbed a menu and utensils and sat myself in a booth. On my way to a table I was greeted with a smile by a woman who I now know as Yanette G. After I sat down I looked at the menu and the gentleman server came by to take my drink request. When I saw Yanette again I waved her down to get her attention and she walked over to my table. I asked "Are you gonna be my server? 'cause I thought it would be you." She asked why would you think? And I told her because you greeted me with a smile when I walked in and that caught my attention but the gentleman is the one who took my order. She mentioned to me that they take turns and she didn't want to take me away as his customer. I told her I understand and respect that but thanks anyway. She complimented my neatly manicured fingernails and I said thank you. As the night went on the male waiter brought out my food in a timely manner so I didn't have to wait long. I ordered extra marinara sauce for my mozzarella sticks which is a go to appetizer for anyone who personally knows me. Food was at a great temperature and the food quality was also good. After receiving my final bill Yanette was the one who checked me out and asked about my overall food experience and I told her that I enjoyed myself. She then shared with me that a previous customer didn't pay for their soup and that she would have to cover the cost on her own. I told her that I would cover it and she was so grateful that I did such a kind gesture. I simply told her to pay it forward when it's your turn to help the next person when the opportunity presents itself. She also complimented the hat I was wearing that said "spiritually hungry" and I said it's one of my favorites. I'm a frequent flyer now primarily for leisure and sometimes for work coming down to Tampa bi-weekly or at least once a month so when I come back to the city I used to live in it's a great feeling receiving exceptional customer experience. It was superb customer service overall especially from Yanette and I'll definitely come again the next time I'm back in town. read more

I think that, in the last 10 to 20 years, I've probably eaten at this Denny's at least 3 times. Its performance is consistent. The restaurant, updated to the chain-wide boilerplate look, is clean and reasonably appealing. Sitting out by the front windows is always preferable to me. This way, you can keep an eye on your rented sled in the parking lot. However, note that that is optional ... this is a fairly nice area with retail and offices and the parking lot is amply sized. I've typically been to this Denny's in the evening to get a quick dinner and some coffee. They have a good slate of comfort food entrees with a few sides as well as burgers and sandwiches. Realistically, you can eat anything you want from the menu at any time. Not only that, I'm usually getting a text or other reminder to stop in for some deal, so there's always something going on that brings a small discount with it. The service has always been effective. However, in obtaining service, you may have a female server (that would be a waitress) who tends to overshare a little bit, which sort of happens in Florida because people are from so many places and they openly talk about life. But, sometimes, I just want affable service and my meal in a reasonable time - something they do deliver on - and not material for lyrics for a Bonnie Raitt song. When I had to pick a Denny's here years ago, I landed on this one on Dale Mabry. I couldn't forget that name because a friend of mine went for training in Tampa Bay and said the training site was off of Dale Mabry. Also, I like this name because it has both a twangy vibe and seems like the name of a televangelist who could keep company with Tammy Faye. (I'm going to feel bad if this is or was a person of import in Tampa's or Florida's history.) If that's not enough for you, the name of the next exit on I-275 is Lois Ave. That these exits would be adjacent to each other in Tampa's Westshore area is a little trippy. read more

Visited for breakfast with the in-laws and our server Summer, or as I called her June 21, was amazing. Even though they were slammed and short staffed, she kept drinks refilled and checked on us. I had the two egg special with hash browns, sausage, bacon and two pancakes for $9.99. The hash browns were cooked well done as requested. I also appreciate they offer a 15% AARP discount. read more

It is your typical Denny's, but service was good and food was quick. Maybe when I came the chef was tailoring some menu items, but someone loved to slather on the butter. Bite of scrambled eggs, full of butter. English muffin, drowning in butter. I had to scrape off the part not melted in. It looked like a slice of cheese because there was so much butter. I came back next time and said light butter and it was fine. I think that should go without saying though. Butter is good but sometimes less is more. read more

Late night food craving that always hits the spot after a long night of hanging with friends. The service was friendly and they made sure we, as a group, kept the fun times going. Food was a little slow in making but granted it was super late at night. Always nice to go live at Denny's. read more

I wasn't even able to try the food .. first off back I sat for atleast 25 min. Two couples were seated before they questioned to each other what I was doing sitting there .... Once someone asked me what I wanted I said I wanted to order they said I needed to speak up!!! First off when I got there there was only one other person waiting for their food while the old bats. Where just walking back n forth looking dead at me and never said anything I give this place a 0 for today!!!! Don't be sorry do better !! read more

Great service great food. The coffee was fresh and hot. They have great value menu. Definitely recommend

Denny's which brands itself "America's Diner" is that and more. We just love the Slams and the service provided most recently by Melissa. Incredible bang for your buck, too. We shall return!! read more

Fresh food expertly prepared for a great value served by attentive and friendly wait staff, with Melissa an outstanding server going above and beyond to make a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Great diner environment, spotlessly clean with good lighting and comfortable seating. Highly recommended. read more

Bingo! Finally found a place that has the perfect combination of waitstaff and cooks. My wife and I ate here while visiting Tampa last week. We were seated right away and our server, Cheryl, was absolutely Top Tier. The food was still hot and fresh long after we started eating. I mean someone should go to this Denny's and snatch her up if looking for the best in customer service. If I own a business, regardless of what kind, I sure would. I would definitely eat here again! My one gripe is they only have a Veterans Discount on Mondays. read more

I waited 55 minutes for my order and the food wasn't worth the wait. Do not plan to return

With the sounds of Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" blasting, I walked in to Denny's knowing that the place may be the ultimate death of me. My daughter, who loves Denny's, coaxed me in for breakfast before school. The restaurant was nearly desolate, unlike the many drunken nights that I spent in that very restaurant during my college days. As we were led to our table, the floor was so slippery and greasy that I was able to emulate the feeling of being on ice skates, so we skated on to our table. We were sat at a table that was sticky from previous diners and we had to ask for it to be cleaned. COVID-19 be damned, right? I wondered how long the table sat that way, or if that was just the film that covered the room. This restaurant did not feel clean. At all... The service was not exactly quick either, especially considering there were hardly any other diners eating at the time. The staff seems to just be going through the motions on another slow day. I ordered the Biscuits and gravy - ehhh. It was obviously made from the microwave. The gravy was cold and lumpy, the biscuits seemed gelatinous. I found myself wishing I had ordered something else. The eggs and hash browns were slightly a notch above, but hardly redeeming. My daughter fared a little better by ordering the Double Berry Pancakes which were loaded with strawberries, blueberries and bananas high atop a stack of pancakes. She loved it. We quietly finished our meal. As I left, I told myself...never again. read more

Denny's - Tonight the night after Ian - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Our server was great! I really wish I'd noticed her name. She was very attentive & efficient, in spite of the bustle & late hour. We dined here around midnight on a Friday night, and the restaurant was quite busy. When ordering, I didn't want onions or peppers in my skillet, and our server said that was no problem. My skillet was served right off the grill & very hot. Greasy, yes, but I knew what I'd ordered. Hubs' meal must have sat for a few minutes because his sausage links were quite cold. However, our server brought him fresh, hot sausage links almost immediately after he waved her down. He complained to me later about something else being cold on his plate, but didn't bother speaking up because the restaurant was so hectic. Unfortunately during our visit, we spotted both a roach and a centipede/worm-thing from our table. The roach was not far from the kitchen; I probably wouldn't have mentioned it because this is Florida. I'm not new here. But then we spotted the worm thing with lots of legs on the floor by the booth next to us. So I was just grossed out at that point. On top of hubs' cold food, these insect issues (what is a centipede?!) added up to a barely mediocre experience. Again, I wish I'd gotten our server's name because she was outstanding, and really the only reason for my 2nd star. I probably won't return to this Denny's location. read more

Been back a few times since we had the bad experience. Things are much better now. That and I believe the see we are regulars.. I had the omelette with sausage and side of onion rings and garlic toast! My favorite! Wifey had the pumpkin pancakes with the caramel sauce. She was very happy. We sit at the counter now so the service is much better! It's Dennys so it's usually very entertaining!! read more

Whoever made my grand slamwich on 11/26 around 2:30ish Am made me the best fucking sandwhich of my life give that guy a raise asap.

Who doesn't love Denny's? No matter what I get there I love it. Took my 2 year old granddaughter for her first time. She ate all of her food. That right there tells me it's Goood!! Lol. The lady making the balloons for the kids is a great touch. For a last minute go to place one will always appreciate the Denny's on Dale Mabry. Back again!! Yep. Denny's is becoming a definite go to place. No matter how busy they are on a Saturday, you still get to enjoy the experience and treated great. We were sat pretty quick. Nice hot coffee was brought to us. My husband loves their coffee. He recommends every adult should have one cup. Lol. I enjoyed the meat lovers slam. As did my husband. It was not on the regular menu, but tucked away on a little insert inside the menu. Can easily be missed. But our server Brian was nice enough to show it to us. Great choice. And only $5.99!! read more

It's so hard to give it even 1 star but I'll have to! Our order was taken. Waited one hour. The server comes and retakes our order because she forgot to not only put it in but she threw away the order!!! I order a gluten free English muffin with butter and I'm still waiting for it ! The vent right above my head was dripping water not only onto the floor but also on our table! Picture included . I let the server know and said ok read more

Food was over cooked and undercooked all at the same time. Had gotten the t-bone stake with eggs, asked for medium rare and got well done, eggs were runny and has some type of watery liquid on them, the toast was not cooked and with and excessive amount of butter I bet it was. Service sucked had to wait about half an hour just for a glass of water although the restaurant was completely empty. Waiter was slow and didn't understand what they were doing. read more

Scrambled eggs had to be powdered eggs, bacon was undercooked, service was decent. Most of the empty tables were dirty and we were forced to sit in the back because staff was lazy and watching Tik Tok instead of serving customers. read more

I stopped into Denny's for breakfast at 2004 Dale Mabry in Tampa and Brian greeted me very enthusiastically. He seated me right away and provided drinks and a menu. He checked on me throughout my visit there. The food was really good. I asked for the hash browns to be EXTRA brown and the chef did a great job!! I ordered a Philly cheesesteak omelet, one I had never had before, and it was cooked beautifully. The steak was just right and the blend of flavors was just as I hoped (based on the mouth watering pictures in the menu). This was definitely a great Denny's dining experience. read more

Good ole Dennys. Can't go wrong if breakfast is your thing. My wife loves breakfast at Dennys anytime. I decided to have a build your own burger! Glad I did as it was really tasty! I rarely eat a whole burger, but this time I did! Best burger I've had in a while! Jessica W. Was our server and she was outstanding. Best service ever. The Breakfast my wife had was huge, and she loved it all! read more

Tanya was great and took care of us very well! Food took a minute but she made sure to provide excellent service.

Once you've been to one Denny's you've practically been to them all. This one is no exception. Your typical 24 hour diner style franchise right here. Me and my wife went in after a movie screening and we were seated right away. That's about where the fast service ended though. There were only a few other parties there before us but fifteen to twenty minutes after being seated, those other groups were being served. It just took a really long time (almost 30 minutes) for them to make a breakfast sandwich and pancake special with hash browns. Don't get me wrong, the food was hot when it came out and it tasted good. The hash browns had a crunchy outside and soft inner layer that mixed well with the sausage and bacon. Everything mixed well with the fluff pancakes. If you're looking for that diner style breakfast you can't go wrong with Denny's and if you don't mind the wait you can check this one out. read more

If you can I'd recommend not choosing this Denny's location. I went for breakfast with my boyfriend and the service was a little chaotic. We didn't have a set waiter so ordering food and drinks got a little confusing. I ordered the cali club sandwich which was pretty good. My boyfriend ordered the dulce de leche pancakes with sunny side up eggs but they gave him cinnamon roll pancakes and scrambled eggs. They didn't seem fresh it almost seemed as if they took an old plate and served it to him. read more
