If you want table cloths, don't go here. If you want a fancy meal you can't pronounce, don't go here. If your on a date night, don't go here. This restaurant is for a good home cooked style meal that is reasonably priced and won't leave you feeling hungry when you leave, that includes a salad soup bar and unlimited freshly baked bread. We will be going back!

I'm a huge fan of old diners and he knew of Dennis' from living in Chesapeake before. This place reminds me of the old diners back in my small town in Pennsylvania. The place is very large. This would be a great space for an event. There were the typical booths and tables. The decor was very dated but it matched the vibe of the place. The bathrooms were clean. They do have a bar and it seemed to have a variety of liquor. The salad bar is very small but you can make a great salad if you choose to. Our server was awesome and explained the menu. I ordered the chicken salad cold plate. It came with chicken salad, potato salad and coleslaw. I'm a snob when it comes to chicken and potato salad and these were some of the best I've had. She did mention that everything, mostly , is made from scratch in house. The fries were cooked perfectly. My boyfriend had the smash burger and mentioned how it had great flavor and was cooked perfectly. Honestly, I can't wait to go back and try more items. The breakfast menu also looked yummy!

It's annoying that some folks cannot go to places without causing issues. As a result, many of these places have made rules that also punish folks who know how to properly conduct themselves while out in public. Ok, I'll get off of my soapbox. The staff at this location was super friendly, and the location was really clean. I went off script and ordered something besides the All Stars combo meal for the 1st time in about 20 years. During my visit, I went with the cheesesteak bowl. I thought the bowl was well made, I just wish there was little more meat in the bowl. But, I just think I was really hungry and greedy for more meat. Meat aside, the bowl came with a HUGE helping of hashbrowns and any other fixings that you might add to the bowl. Random thought: I wish Waffle House would provide other cheeses besides American cheese, because I think this bowl would have been AMAZING with cheddar or Swiss cheese. Hopefully, this Waffle House will keep it's 24/7 dine-in option, but I have a feeling that this location might switch to only to-go orders from 11pm to 6 am like the other locations in the area.

Went here honestly because of a coupon. I hadn't been to a Captain D's in ages and felt... hrm…read more. sure why not? So I honestly did keep the bar low. Captain D's isn't necessarily your definition of 'fine dining'. However, our daughter has been on a new food kick lately and this was the next in the pipeline. Some of the good - the food was pretty good. Really, keeping your expectations real, it's decent, moderately priced respectively, and I don't know what it is about the crumbs of the fish but good gracious they're good. Now the bad... just like most places, customer service is quite lackluster. To be fair to the person who took our order, I think he was brand new. But... while he did try to do his best, between the extremely long wait time to get the food, the fact that the food I got was partly correct, and the flustered manager, it's hard to get on board with, "Let's go to Captain D's" when we ask where to go to eat. Overall, if this is your craving, hey.. go for it.. just don't expect it to be served fast and definitely inspect your order. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 2 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 3 Ambiance: Dated outdoor 'wharf' feel. But wow it's dated. Repeat customer: maybe Dog Friendly: no

Ms. Jay Rocks!! We've been coming here for about 2 years and we ALWAYS ask for her. If she's not…read moreworking, we don't stay (sorry)... So the first thing is that people have to understand that IHOP is IHOP. Period. Stop expecting white glove service. Just expect good customer service, a clean establishment, good food, and respect. That's all. I must say that Jay is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her tables are well taken care of. AND, she is very aware of her surroundings and assists other customers/tables that aren't even her tables. Jay is extremely knowledgeable about the brand, the menu, and the facility. She is friendly, professional, kind, intelligent, and has a great sense of humor. Yes, I'm a great cook and can make all of the things on the menu and probably better. However, not having to cook and able to come to IHOP for good food and great service makes a difference. I'd recommend that the manager/regional manager (whomever); be more proactive and intentional about training other staff; making sure staff and managers wear the proper uniforms; secure a private space for staff personal things; have a separate area for organizing utensils and napkins; make efforts to really welcome customers; and, share the importance of teamwork and supporting each other. This will take some of the pressure off of one or two staff that are amazing. I gave 4 s because Jay always writes down my order correctly but the kitchen staff always misses something. BUT... Jay fixes it.

I wish we had read the reviews before dining there…read more When we entered the restaurant, we didn't even know it was open. There was nobody to greet us at the door; nobody to seat us...nobody even dining in the store. The lights were turned down low, as if they were closed to the public, but still open to the cleaning staff. We saw what we thought were a couple of diners sitting at a far table, when one looked over at us, stood up, went into the kitchen (probably to inform a cook on his cellphone, "We have customers, and these look like they're staying"), then greeted us. When he approached us, we found him difficult to hear. He seemed very shy, and I got the strange feeling that we were putting him out, for deciding to dine in that restaurant. He led us to our table. There was nobody else in the entire place. I ordered the salmon (well done), broccoli (cooked well), and mashed potatoes. My order took longer to cook, but i had specific high demands that took longer to cook, so I didn't mind. They brought out my husband's order first, then mine came about 5 minutes later. The broccoli was really good. I think they put it on the grill and cooked it with the salmon. My husband's broccoli was not well cooked, but it was hot. He was fine with his broccoli, but I was very grateful for the way it was cooked. It tasted good and the salmon was delicious, as well. But the pile of salt, flavored with mashed potatoes was not so appealing. All I could taste was salt. They were obviously boxed mashed potatoes. I decided to have one of my husband's French fries, and they were so salty that I had to brush all the grains of salt off of my hands after handling one. Maybe they are happier when customers don't come around? Maybe their salt supply was getting ready to expire, so they took advantage of using it up on the two diners who forgot to check reviews before entering the restaurant. I don't know. I could let the worst case suspicions run through my head, as to why they salt-dumped the potatoes, but there are just as many innocent reasons. I think the cook was just as inexperienced as the waiter. Perhaps the cook WAS the waiter. If ihop is saving money on electricity, maybe they have a one-man restaurant running everything. We went to pay the bill, and of course, nobody was at the register. The waiter took my card in the back, instead of the register, where I expected him to ring it up. The entire meal - salmon with broccoli and potato-flavored salt and beef tips with broccoli and fries cost $44 and some change with an $8 tip. This is a very sad restaurant. They need to try to do better, or pull the plug and let it slip into eternity to serve angels with Howard Johnson's and Chi-Chi's.

The first red flag was an empty lot during peak dining hours. As we entered the building, I…read morecouldn't help but notice an odor like a dog owner's dank carpeted basement. It was a stale smell that could easily be remedied by a carpet washing if somebody cared enough to make an effort. It's not like they don't have time to freshen up the place; nobody is eating there. I ordered the Cajun blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I asked for no seasoning. The salmon came out fine. The potatoes were too salty and had too much butter. I did like that they mixed peels with the potato's, but the over seasoning ruined it. The broccoli was horrible. It tasted like it had been in the freezer for a year and recooked. The broccoli was also over buttered, and I have to wonder if they were trying to hide the freezer burn taste. It makes perfect sense that the broccoli would be old. They haven't had customers in a while, so the broccoli spent a lot of time in the freezer. But here's the thing: for what we paid, we deserved a fresh bag of broccoli. If I wanted food like this, I could've grabbed food from the back of my freezer and cooked it myself. It bothers me that it would've taken just a few extra steps to make the establishment an enjoyable dining experience. Maybe they foul it up because they don't enjoy serving large crowds. The younger generation has no work ethics. I will not eat at this store again.
