Stopped in for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and attentive, coffee was hot and fresh, and my food came out quickly. The diner atmosphere is nostalgic in the best way. Will definitely return. George was our server!

Food overall, we're pretty good. Managers were fantastic. And servers were great, one particular server George was amazing. He would always greeted people when walking in, always listened to orders. When I ate there he would make sure that I had everything that I needed.

We had been traveling all day and decided breakfast sounded good for a late dinner. The restaurant was very quiet at 9:30 on a Sunday night. Our waitress was very attentive, and our food arrived very quickly, and exactly as ordered. We were completely satisfied with the meal. My only complaint was the restroom. While it was well stocked and looked clean, it smelled like a swamp.

Our waitress Lilly was amazing very attentive and on top of it. We didn’t have to ask for anything she was there with the refills and the food came out hot. Have been to this Dennys multiple times and have had Lilly before and every time customer service was excellent. Will eat there again and again.

I’ve been coming to Denny’s for years, and it’s always a comforting experience. The food is consistent, the portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable. Whether it’s a late-night craving or a Sunday morning breakfast, Denny’s never lets me down. Love their pancakes and the Grand Slam combo! George is an awesome server
