Stack of Pancakes - A stack of two golden-brown pancakes with a dollop of butter on top, served on a white plate at a restaurant table.
Erika J.

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.

Denny's pancake puppies

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*)

Choconana Pancake Breakfast
Melissa E.

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.

Everyday Slam
Aj M.

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.

Dirty plate
Della L.

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.

Roach in the food - A metal container with a lid is on a table, surrounded by plates and food in a restaurant environment.

This experience has two parts! So we initially traveled to…read moreVA Beach for my son's track meet. There was a Dennys located adjacent to the hotel parking lot. We had dinner there my son and I shared a melt. It was delicious! The Moons Over My Hammy, to be exact! The following evening we traveled home and my husband said he wanted to catch the game with friends. I stayed home and didn't really feel like cooking. While scrolling door dash I saw "The Melt Down" by Dennys. The menu only listed Melts. So I ordered a 3 melts. 1 for myself and 2 kids meal melts. My boys shared one and my daughter had her own. The melts are a nice size! Very filling and also tasty! They came hot and juicy! I highly recommend the Feeling Groovy Melt, so tasty! We had enough to save some for a snack the next day. Popped them in the oven and they were still on point! Great service, fast delivery on door dash's part. The you to the Denny for ensuring our order was correct! This location is always on point. Even when we dine in. Very laid back ambience / vibe.

So sit back, order through our exclusive delivery partner, DoorDash and go ahead...have a meltdown....you earned it.

Decided to give this place a shot as a first timer. Had high hopes as the menu was very diverse…read moreand the pictures online looked great, but unfortunately the execution failed on many fronts. The cornbread was hard, like inedible hard. The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.

Decent. Not special. Unlikely to make my regular rotation…read more I drove past this place going back to forth to work and on the outside it looked like a nice establishment. Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

I stopped by Cracker Barrel because I saw what looked like a meal deal advertised, but when I got…read morethere it was more of a "choose three country entrées" option with sides. For about $18 (before tax and tip), you get three selections and two sides, plus biscuits and cornbread ,which is definitely a good value for the quantity of food. I chose the fried chicken, meatloaf, and chicken & dumplings with turnip greens and mashed potatoes. The restaurant was pretty empty, and while the country store area is always charming, the dining room itself felt very cold .....literally. I will say my waitress, Tamara,was amazing. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure my drinks stayed full. Truly top-tier service. As for the food, it just wasn't good. The fried chicken was crispy but had a strange, almost watery taste. The meatloaf was dry and not appetizing. The chicken & dumplings were the only decent item, but it's hard to mess that up. The greens and mashed potatoes tasted old, and even though the biscuits and cornbread were warm, they tasted like they'd been baked earlier and reheheated. The peach sweet tea was good, though. I usually come to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because their pancakes (with the crispy edges) are good. But lately, even breakfast hasn't tasted as fresh as I remember. It could just be this location, but overall the quality feels like it's declined. The value is there for the portion size, but the freshness and flavor just aren't. I hope it's not the brand overall, because years ago Cracker Barrel tasted hot, fresh, and truly country. This visit just felt old and reheated.

We passed the competition so Cracker Barrel was the winner this morning. The parking lot was full, or so we thought. My honey dropped me in the front to beat the line but to my surprise, we didn't wait, I was seated immediately. Our waitress was a little overwhelmed but she was nice. Second time around, the young man was starting week two on the job so he was learning. Food has been great and very affordable each time we've come. We've been here back to back weekends. It's that good! The prices can't be beat. Ambiance is casual. Love the store! Super cute! Let's Get Into It! Momma's Pancake Breakfast is my pick. Add Blueberries please! - SO Good! Grandma's Pancake Sampler is fantastic! He loves it! French Toast - it's a pass for me. Coffee is decent! One visit it was gross, second visit it was great. Overall, you can't beat the price, it's breakfast; a decent breakfast for an affordable price. Beats fast food. Definitely going to make this a monthly stop. He agrees.

Great food, nice spot…read more Restaurant was nice and inviting with plenty of seating. When you sit the first thing they bring you is their fresh honey butter croissants. These are fantastic and have to be house-made. They are so flaky and delicious! Our party of 3 sampled the trio appetizers with spinach dip, chicken tenders, and cheese bites. All were excellent! The chips light and crispy. The spinach dip was creamy. The cheese bites were great. The fried chicken tenders had an amazing light and crunchy coating. I'm picky with fried foods and this place is top notch. The battered foods don't feel greasy and have a great crunch. The homemade ranch and honey mustard dressings were a great accompaniment. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The sides were perfect. The chicken fried steak had that great crunchy coating. The steak would have been a little better if the meat had been pounded a little thinner, but was still okay. My friend had a Caesar salad that was too heavy on the dressing, so recommend you order your dressing on the side if you get a salad. The facilities were clean, but I did notice a few issues that needed attention. A broke stall lock and a tile falling off the wall. Our server was fantastic. There was plenty of parking out front. I enjoyed this spot. A great place to eat.

Pros: Nostalgic and has something for everyone Respectable price point Has happy hour drink options Servers have positive attitudes and good energy Cons: Could use some improvement in cleanliness of tables, cutlery and seating Can get crowded, loud and hectic Overall, I would dine here again. The honey butter croissants are my favorite and you receive them complimentary at the start of your meal. On the latest visit, our server forgot but when asked, she boxed a fresh order up to go. I appreciate her for acknowledging the oversight and immediately making it right. The non-alcoholic drinks have add in options but I've found the syrup to be overpowering and optional. Portion sizes are appropriate for the price point and I've been happy with my choices thus far. Sign up for their emails if you want to receive notices of any promotions they have as well as a birthday freebie. Subject to change so read the offer carefully. There is booth seating, a bar and they do have alcohol based drinks. This is a good spot if you want to grab and go, have a date night, group gathering and solo dining. No automatic gratuity is added but the young adults do a great job and tipping appropriately is encouraged. I'd dine here again and I look forward to exploring more of their menu.

Some of the fish tasted good and other pieces were just meh and didn't seem quite done enough for me. The customer service was suspect. I was with a group of 6, and one person didn't get his meal until 20 minutes after everyone else. They also got a couple of orders wrong and just seemed disorganized. Some items were winners, but I think they can do better.
