Original Grand Slam®
Melissa R.

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.

Stack of Pancakes
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.

The napkins were hidden. The food was OK. Everyone else has covered it. If no other place is open, park it here and deal with it.

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.

My buddy and I recently grabbed breakfast at this First Watch and I realized I hadn't reviewed it…read moreyet. First Watch is a solid, ridiculously popular breakfast spot. Probably a 3.5 but I rounded up because their App is bomb and it gives you live updates on where you are in line. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take advantage of the online wait list, TRUST me!! Farm to table food is always a plus, and that's what make First Watch such a hit. You can taste the freshness. The space they occupy used to be Bob Evans and I'm a fan of Bob Evans and was sad to see it go. First Watche's menu is just okay to me and I always get the same thing, the "Tri-Fecta". It's always good, especially the blueberry pancake, but I'd like to switch things up every now and then.. Oh well.. Lol! So if you're looking for a healthier choice than Cracker Barrel or some of the other popular breakfast restaurants, First Watch is probably the spot for you.. Just get in line online.. You're welcome!! :)

I thought the veggies and meat would be scrambled in the eggs. The cheese was just lumped in the middle of the omelet. My French toast was okay but luke warm. What ever happened to getting hot food. Our server was friendly, so that helped. I do plan to try their lunch food and see if that's okay. But not sure of the hype about this place, maybe you can get breakfast anytime of day.

Appeared accessible to get in with wheelchair use but may have some challenges navigating inside as it's set up like a house inside and there are plenty of tables packed in. I called to see if we could add our name to the waitlist, but they were only taking walk ins. Once we arrived, we added our name and waited about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. The menu is quite simple, but includes breakfast, lunch, appetizers, sweet and savory crepes. I ordered the chicken breast with potatoes and scrambled eggs. It also came with a biscuit. The portion size was good and I was super excited about the food because it was home cooked. As a person with special dietary needs this was the perfect place to come and enjoy a home cooked breakfast that wasn't full of salt. The eggs were real eggs and scrambled perfectly, the potatoes appeared fresh cut (did not come salted, I added my own), chicken breast cutlet with a crispy breading and a gravy or sauce on top. My food was served HOT!!!! Each table also had sea salt/pepper grinders. I ordered a Sunrise mocktail which was also very good. I enjoyed my meal and left stuffed! Looking forward to coming back again.

Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place

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!

It's the kind of spot that makes you imagine Sunday mornings with your person, the two of you settling into a table sharing life, and growing old together without even noticing time passing. I probably won't make that long drive from the city again, but the good memories tied to this place are ones I'll always keep close. I never had any real issues here, aside from one cold cup of coffee and even that feels small now. The wait staff was always warm and friendly, the kind of people who make a place feel familiar. And that little store inside? Still one of my favorite parts. All the cozy, quirky things you don't need but somehow want anyway. That's the charm. Parking is plentiful, and if you go, take that left when you exit. Trust me, it will make life easy. And well, life should be an easy and pleasant journey as possible. Let's get into it!

Almost all of them were reserved so that gave us very limited seating especially since when we arrived it was nearly empty. We were able to order and eat good. I ordered the crab cakes but they were out so I ended up with wings and a few appetizers from the happy hour mentu. It may have been empty when we arrived, but by the time I left it was wall to wall in the back half where the line dancing takes place.
