Me and my girls came for a breakfast. Shawn was our server. He was so friendly, recommended great foods and he was the best :)<br>The food is amazing.

Shawn best server ever. Most courteous server I've had in years. Nice to see someone you can relate to every now and then AND he speaks English. Come see this guy in action. You will not be disappointed.

The menu is broad, with plenty of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, and the portions are generous for the price. Though service can sometimes be a bit slow during busy times.

The service at Denny’s is outstanding, especially thanks to Denise. I always request to sit in her section because she’s incredibly attentive and makes sure everything is just right. When I go out to eat, I value being treated with respect, and Denise consistently delivers that experience. She’s kind, professional, and genuinely cares about her customers.<br><br>If you’re dining here, definitely ask for Denise—you won’t be disappointed.

I’m writing this review because of the frustrating experience my family and I had at this Denny’s. We arrived around 12:20 pm and were seated right away. The hostess noticed our booth was wet and had a busser clean it, which he did quickly and very politely. By 12:44 pm, no server had come to our table, even though other customers who arrived after us were already being helped. I went to the front desk to let the hostess know we’d been waiting over 20 minutes to which she said she would notify our server.<br>At about 12:49 pm, a server named Laura finally came over. She did not introduce herself or apologize for the wait time and seemed annoyed while taking our order. Our drinks arrived shortly after, but our food never did. While we waited, we saw Laura serving other tables and chatting with coworkers, but she never even bothered to check on us. A few times we tried to get her attention, and she completely ignored us. At that point, it really felt like we were being avoided, possibly because we had asked about the wait. By around 1:30 pm, after being there for over an hour without being served our food, we decided to leave. We didn’t feel comfortable complaining again because we were worried it might affect our food. We went to the front desk and explained that we were leaving due to not getting our food despite being there for over an hour. The hostess apologized and got Laura, who suddenly said our food was ready. We declined, paid for our drinks and left.<br>Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and we won’t be returning to this Denny’s.

We had some sandwiches and French toast with a cream and sauce that were absolutely delicious. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor. The place was a bit noisy due to all the TVs, but aside from that, the service was very kind and the food was amazing. We’d definitely go back.

Hostess, waitress, and chef all did their jobs well. Overall a good meal. Only issue was the too loud and inappropriate music. It just wasn't conducive to peaceful eating and digesting. When I asked if it could be changed I was told no by the waitress. Shame, it detracted from an otherwise excellent time. I also got a hoot out of the robot server assisting the waitress that brought our food near the table so the waitress could move the dishes from the robot to our table. This replaces the big tray serving staff would carry the meals on to bring to guests. It was quite neat. 5 stars overall, but ding 2 stars off atmosphere for the too loud and brash music. I did enjoy the food and had good service.

The food here is TOP NOTCH! I had a double cheese burger yesterday and the T-bone today. The T-bone was amazing but man that double cheeseburger was something special! The service was great as well, I had Steven both days he was great. This will be my 902 place moving forward. Mozzarella sticks were amazing as well def give them a try.

Today’s lunch is Denny’s. It's a pretty famous place even without a review, but the service and food taste make it worth it. If you want to look cool, look for a French restaurant. But if you want a friendly atmosphere and a comfortable family gathering at a reasonable price, this is the place. I visited this place alone. What do you mean? It's okay to be alone! The food isn't bad either. Above all, the friendly staff will make you smile
