We stopped by Denny's in the early hours of the morning, and the restaurant was definitely loud and lively! There was a mix of late-night guests and people coming in after the clubs, so the atmosphere was pretty entertaining. Some of the club-goers were clearly feeling their night out and definitely in need of a good meal. The service was just okay. Our server had a very matter-of-fact demeanor. I wouldn't necessarily say he was rude, but he definitely wasn't friendly or welcoming either. Service was also pretty slow, and our food took quite a while to come out. After sitting for a bit, we realized it wasn't just our table--everyone seemed to be waiting a long time for their food. We could even hear some of the staff discussing and getting a little frustrated with how slowly things were coming out of the kitchen. Thankfully, once our food finally arrived, it was good! We ate, enjoyed our meal, and headed out. Overall, not a bad late-night stop. The food was good, but the service and kitchen speed could definitely use some improvement. read more

I'm only giving two stars because our other experiences here have been regular. The Tuesday evening we decided to go, the service and food was terrible. The waitress got every single plate of food wrong. I specifically asked for turkey bacon and my plate had regular bacon in it. When we informed her the order was completely incorrect, she was combative and the manager needed to intervene. After this situation, she left and did not return to service us the entire meal. We were left sitting unattended until a different waiter completed our order and bought us our food. We didn't get any drink refills the entire time. The food was cold and flavorless. I ate two bites and I tossed the rest. Waste of time. read more

We had a great experience at Denny's today! I took my mom for lunch, and we were seated immediately. The host was very accommodating, our server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly--hot and fresh. Special compliments to the manager, the cooks and team for providing excellent service, especially while short-staffed. Everyone was seated and served promptly. Great job! read more

The wait time for sitting was zero. The waitress was training another wait staff so it was a great experience seeing that in action. They both were very friendly and nice. The food was great as well. I don't go to Denny's a lot. They had great decorations for the holidays around the store. It is always good to go to a common restaurant that has been around for years. It is also all over the country. It has great memories from my childhood. read more

Dang!I never had such very sad brunch meal with my wife at Denny's. Chef needs to go and get a better cook. Fried steak and pancake i ordered. Fried steaks look mushy rushed and it was cold. Pancake batter is not moist and hot when it came. It ain't the kind of buttermilk pancake I know from another Denny's location. My wife's order looked sad with sausage and bacon she wanted to try. She also got toasted brioche and it looks sad. This place need to learn from two locations in Northern VA Denny's restaurant. Service was fine. Not sure if they are short staffed. But they were busy. Denny's supposed to be a way better choice than IHOP lol. read more

Took my son to breakfast today. Service was outstanding! Lia did such a truly amazing job! Was seated almost immediately. Service was absolutely outstanding. Food was out right away and was super delicious! Thanks Lia and staff for making my weekly time to connect with my son such a wonderful experience for both of us. Will definitely be back next weekend! read more

Stopped in to take Home at dinner... Ordered the chicken fried steak with the mashed potatoes and broccoli and with extra gravy and a side of onion rings. It took 40 minutes and no one was really at the restaurant... Opened up the bag and looked. It seemed like everything was there got home here. They did not give me any gravy at all much less extra and they gave me some chunky potatoes instead of the mashed potatoes and they gave me four little pieces of broccoli florettes. I don't understand how such a simple order can get so messed up by the cook and then by the person who packaged it that did not check to make sure everything was there worst customer service... I can see why this chain may be closing some of it stores. read more

Went to Dennys on June 2 around 2 pm, my server was an older lady with black hair, she was the worst server that I have experienced in a long time. The restaurant was practically empty and I wasn't acknowledged for ten minutes, also she didn't come back to ask if I needed anything after the food arrived. She also was handling the cash register and taking food orders, thought this wasn't allowed. She needs to retire read more

Decided to take myself to breakfast and I decided to come to Denny's. I sat at the bar. My waitress was good and attentive and my food was good. (Food pictures attached). My only one "complaint" is I thought the pancakes looked pretty small compared to other times I've came. But they still tasted good. They had a holiday menu which was pretty limited but it had what I wanted but if you're looking for something specific you may be out of luck. read more

Our experience has always been favorable at this Denny's (Crain Hwy, Waldorf). No complaints about the cleanliness, service, wait times, etc. Our table seems to always be missing something (pepper, silverware, sugar, etc.) butttt the attending hostess has always accommodated us in a timely and friendly manner. I'm sure Denny's will always be in my breakfast rotation because I am a SUCKER for those "pancake puppies"! (*stock photo*) read more

This is my go to Dennys for take out breakfast, however today I decided to go inside and sit down. I'm glad I did, it truly elevated the dining experience. My waitress, Julissa was amazing, very attentive but not overbearing. The inside is standard Dennys atmosphere, plenty of seating and enough bar space if I wanted to sit there as well. Today I ordered my usual: Grand Slam: scrambled eggs with cheese, turkey bacon, shredded hash browns but this time I substituted my toast for chocolate banana pancakes Everything was 10/10 Fresh, came out fast but not too fast to make me think my food has been sitting. I enjoyed the fact a lot of people were there, dining alone. I was very comfortable and enjoying the entire experience. I will definitely be back. read more

I always get good service here. The manager and staff are great. They good at informing me of the specials.

I decided to use my T-Mobile Tuesday app to get me an Everyday Slam. The parking is always chaotic, but I was able to find a spot. When I got in I was immediately seated. My table was clean, but missing items. It was a pretty busy Friday morning. My waitress told me she would come back to me in a couple of minutes. When she did, she was friendly. I showed her the promo, and she asked if I wanted anything to drink and then proceeded to take my menu. My food came out about 10 mins later. I never got napkins or syrup. I had to ask the young lady that brought my food out for napkins and syrup. The food was just ok. I'm not expecting D.C brunch quality. The food matched the prices. If you want a decent meal at a good price, come here...but don't expect too much. read more

Denny's - Everyday Slam - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Waldorf, Maryland

This letter serves as an official complaint for a recent visit I had with family on August 21, 2024. Much thoughtfulness went into selecting Denny's. The server failed me miserably. What was most upsetting was trying to receive a hot mail after payment. I received two orders of very ice cold pancakes as the waiter was not attentive. Brought food late and the pancakes did not accompany the remainder of my meal. The server was unpleasant and unwilling to make it right. The poor customer service manifested on every level, the server was dismissive and nonchalant and treated me punitively as I had committed the offense. The entire dining experience was such a turn off as the server was argumentative. The food came out 40 minutes after my arrival. When the second set of pancakes were brought to the table, the server brought them to the table at least 10 minutes after they were prepared as I watched the cook set them on the table. The server did not offer any compromise, but in fact stated she wasn't going to argue because the customer is always right. NO ONE WAS ARGUING WITH HER ESPECIALLY OVER COLD PANCAKES. To be quite honest, Denny's should immediately refund me for the entire uncomfortable dining experience. read more

Please don't ever order to go or pick up from this restaurant your food will be horrible and not edible. I called to speak to a manager about this and of course there was no manager. I called back the next day and the manager was busy with the delivery order. I contacted customer service and I'm waiting for a response. We spend our hard earned money and when we pay for something we expect to get what we pay for. So be aware if you do decide to order out just check your order please read more

Don't order online, when I arrived the staff at dennys told me to call Dennys because they don't see any paid Neal's in their system ... will now take future business elsewhere because time is money read more

Immediate seating, fantastic service, and oooohhhhh so delicious breakfast food made for the best experience today. Highly recommended!

I wanted eggs Benedict, but I wanted to substitute pancakes for the hash browns (I don't do hash browns) -- they would not do it. The manager said the computer would not allow it ! Since when are we slaves to the computer ! PS. Our hostess Amira was very nice and tried her best! read more

Unsanitary! I ordered pancakes and was eating them. I moved the pancakes and there was food on the plate from another order. When I flipped the plate over, there was food caked on the bottom. GROSS! I can almost understand the food on the bottom of the plate, but putting food on top of a dirty plate and serving it to people is unacceptable! If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would. read more

Waldorf's Denny's is one of the best little joints in town for a good breakfast, hot coffee, and great service. If you go, try to ask for Lia - she is one of the best servers I have come across - hands down. Her fast, friendly, and efficient service makes the meal!!! read more

Came here with my husband and son on a Sunday around 12. We were seated right away, which is the only reason why I didn't leave 1 star. Our waitress started out great!.....until she abandoned us. Our food came out, minus our pancakes. She said they're were coming right out. Cool! No problem! Ate our food, and realized it had been about 20 mins since we've seen her or our pancakes. So we're doing the international "where's our waitress" look around for about 7 mins. My husband is about to find the manager when someone comes over. We told her it's been a while since we've seen our waitress, and she said "oh she's on break". Seriously?!? That's unprofessional. I understand that breaks are needed, not mad about that at all, but at least let your tables know or have the covering server check in on us in your absence. So yeah. 2 stars cuz the food was fast (minus pancakes) and good. read more

Horrible experience on a Saturday morning, I had a party of seven the wait was 30-35mins which was understandable. Then after 40mins I was told if I wanted two tables sitting apart we could be sitted now, but if we wanted to sit together then it would be a few more minutes which turned into another 20mins. We finally sat down and waited 10 minutes for the waitress to come over without even saying hello or introducing herself. She just asked "what would you all like to drink?", and of course it takes her another 10mins to even come back with drinks and we have four children at our table thirsty, hungry, and complaining. At this point this is just RIDICULOUS. Food takes FOREVER to come out and our waitress didn't know who ordered what, I had to pass hot plates around myself ... Our orders were WRONG, things that were added and removed from our meals was incorrect. I'm a VEGETARIAN and they told me I didn't ask for no meat in my food, Are you serious that is the first thing I always remove!! On top of that NO silverware given, NO refills, NO dipping sauce that comes with chocolate pancake puppies SMH. A new waitress comes over and says that our original waitress clocked out...WOW!! This was such TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I spoke with the general manager AKRAM KHALIL he was RUDE twice and brushed us off. Our bill was over $100 and we still got charged for things that were incorrect. I didn't find out our waitress name was STEPHANIE until I saw it on the receipt SMH. I am so livid, Denny's did not DESERVE OUR MONEY!! I will not be bringing my family back here! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE, I've never experienced anything like this!! read more

The family & I have dined @ this location severa times. Not sure how I neglected to post a review. We absolutely luv anything breakfast @ Denny's, especially the soft, fluffy, buttery pancakes! 1 star taken, because Hubby is also addicted to toast & we were told (last week) that they are no longer serving white or wheat toast. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite and or server Shannon was awesome. She was a ray of sunshine.

The food was ok, until a roach came out of nowhere and landed in our foods. The servers thought we were lying about the situation until they saw it themselves. I barely ate my food and they refused to give us new ones because it was already late. At the end, I thought we would get a discount for it but to our surprise, we still had to pay for it in full. The food was great but the experience was horrible from the servers and their actions toward the situation. read more

Today was Saturday, so of course SUPER busy. However, the whole restaurant was on point! We were seated, got our orders in, and were out of there in about 45 minutes! And my fiancé takes a while to eat! The servers were rocking it! The kitchen was keeping up and the food was DELICIOUS! MAJOR props to the chefs today because my French toast was PERFECT! Even the wait staff were rocking it by keeping the place clean! There was never an empty table that needed cleaning. As soon as people were leaving their table, they were ON IT and getting it cleaned up! This is my fiancé and my go to Dennys and they've never disappointed us before but today was EXCELLENT! read more

I went to dennys at around 1 AM with just me and my friend it took a while to get sat and our server just grabbed two menus and went to another table and said you guys can sit here next to their table. I took a look at our table and it was dirty and our table and seat was covered in salt. We waited around 20 minutes for service and right then I should have realized I should have walked out. We had to wait 10 minutes for water and we got the nachos but apparently they were out and we said it's ok we don't want em and 7 minutes later we were given chips and cheese and they weren't even hard just soft chips. Our food then came out I got the all American slam and my friend got the chicken skillet and my hashbrowns were very burnt but the other food was ok, my friends skillet wasn't even sizzling and his food was very salty. Now it did look like they were understaffed that night so I wasn't super mad but also seeing a worker sitting at a table on their phone is a little upsetting to see at least be in the back on it unless your on break. I think I'm probably gonna try going again soon during breakfast or lunch too see how the service is then for a proper review I can't let one bad time ruin it. read more

I just left this location. I was seated immediately all to wait over 20 mins without any staff to come over to offer water or take my order. I witness a staff member on her phone while at the food counter area waiting on food. A customer spilled a drink on the floor. It took 10 mins for staff member to clean up the spill. People aren't being seated 6 ft apart . Totally unacceptable service today read more

I went to Dennys at 11:30 and they said they were closed. This is the second time this happens. Why advertise all night when your actually not. This is ridiculous saying they are only doing to-go orders. And they always have a attitude about it like acrually what the hell. On top of that their meat is never fully cooked and looks like they threw it together. Get your act together Dennys like I depend on yall when I'm high. read more

Great meal. We had looked at several other places and everyone was 30-45 minute wait. Denny's was about 15 so we stayed. Our server, Savannah G., was fast, checked on us on a regular basis, took care of any of our needs and was just all around Super. I have eaten here before and service is usually hit or miss. I hope they figure out a way to keep Savannah, she is a keeper. The food was actually pretty good. Some of us had lunch and some of us dinner. Nobody had any complaints and everyone seems full and happy when we left. I guess you can't ask for more. As of right now I would go back again. read more

Food was okay but location definitely needs a deep cleaning. Was sat next to the bathroom and every time someone opened the door the smell of a 5 day old porter potty filled the whole side of the restaurant near the bathroom.

It's so hard to find good service and good food. Consistency is important! Keep up the good stuff.

The food was fresh, tasty and exact what we wanted. Restaurant including restrooms were clean! Please TIP these wonderful servers/host well!! FYI : Inflation is REAL! Grand slam are almost $10 now read more

The female cook scratched the name of her neck with gloves on and then proceeded to stick the same hand without changing gloves into the fry rack and pulled the fries out and put them on a plate. When mentioned to manager she had her wash her hands and change her gloves. I am sitting at the bar where you can see directly back into the kitchen where I watched the same cook then wipe her head with her hand, look at me then grab a napkin. I was going to bring this up with the manager again but just decided to cancel my order and leave. Even though the manager was polite I won't be back at this establishment EVER again. Incase someone sees this I was there 6 Jan 2019 from 3am-322am. read more

I came in with one of my good friends to have some food, and apparently, this friend was not allowed to be there. Although this manager by the name of "tequila" did politely ask us to leave she then proceeded to touch and grab my arm. When I asked her why are you touching me, she continued to hold my arm until I got out of character. She then snatched the menus from in front of me causing the silverware to fly. The management is unprofessional, and really should have more training on problem solving. read more
