Lyric was so sweet, always came to me in the perfect timing, made great conversations, and made really good food recommendations. There were maybe three tables she had and was doing the same to each one. 10/10 and I hope she's here the next time I come in! read more

The food was fine. Exactly what I expected and wanted. They were short staffed when I was there. I saw one cook and one server. The poor server was stuck with a large rowdy table as well as a few other people. She was holding it down well though. She deserves good support from management. read more

It's Denny's bruh! A flashy exterior doesn't necessarily mean good eats. We drove by on our way North for a wedding and stopped in on the way back to AZ. We haven't eaten at one in twenty years or more. Dude it's the same! This place is a time capsule. Same food cooked in the same style...forever. You either like or it's whatever. Not terrible. Last words...don't change. read more

The food was good but what was outstanding was Dee, who waited on me. She made me feel welcome and the service was great. I was happy when I left. If you're there for a late breakfast like I was ask for Dee! read more

Passing bye from New Mexico to Utah and we stopped for brunch. The manager Ellen did a wonderful job of accommodating us for nine people. Summer and Jade brought us our food and attended to us and make sure we had everything we needed. Wonderful! We will definitely be back highly recommend this place. read more

Came here to enjoy a late night meal And every single table is covered in plates, food and cups. They are only cleaning them as people come in and standing around between customer. I'm counting 9 tables in total that are filthy and unclean. Wheres the manager? read more

Bad service and sat for 30 minutes Instead of having two people, have three people on. Please get better at your serve or people are not going to go to restaurant if there is bad service read more

"Very bad service at this place. I was traveling with my husband and we brought his family here for lunch, but the waitress was extremely rude and showed racist behavior. Very disappointing experience."I would like no rate this place read more

I gave this Dennys 5 stars for the following. First when entering we were immediately greeted and sat down. The place is clean. Second the food was consistent with other Dennys we visited and tasted great. The price was excellent. Under $20 for two breakfast meals. I recommend this Dennys. read more

Denny's was busy, only 1 waitress on the floor, but she kept it rolling. Our sandwiches were good! I ordered a roast beef sandwich thinking it was going to be like deli sliced. Much to my delight, I was surprised to taste pot roast! Chunks of pot roast. Not bad! My husband had a grilled ham and cheese, ate it all, so it must have been good, too read more

Kayla, our waitress was very polite and helpful. Food was good! However, there was a cook in the back that was complaining about everything and very loudly. read more

Always love Denny's. I have dietary restrictions (vegan), and they are very accommodating and always have several choices that meet my needs, and more all the time. Most recently, their nine grain pancakes, which are out of this world and made without dairy. The staff is always friendly and pleasant, despite many a cranky customer. The restaurant and restrooms are always clean. Plus they're open 24 hours, can't beat that. read more

Food was good, coffee was good. That's what I'd expect. What stood out was a little act of kindness I witnessed when here almost 2 years ago. I'd had a long, hard day and was feeling pretty crappy after being on the road for a few days straight. I pulled in to the Holiday Inn next door early in the afternoon pretty wiped out. I crashed and woke up around 10pm pretty hungry. It was snowing outside and I walked the short distance to Denny's. Walked in, sat down and a cup of coffee arrived quickly. Food came quick, too. While I was there, a young lady came in, looked like she'd been on the road for a while. She said she had little money and was asking the waitress what she could get for what she had. Waitress said not to worry about the money and brought her a big plate of food. Just me and this lady in the restaurant at around 10PM. Waitress and cook, also. I just sat there and enjoyed that moment of people just being good humans and looking after each other. I paid my bill, tipped the waitress well and left a bit extra to help the lady who had come in. Walked back out into the snow and back to my warm hotel room. I hope that lady got to stay there in the Denny's for a while and warm up. That little act of kindness from the waitress has stuck with me for a long time and I often think about it. I don't know what her name was, but it has really stuck with me. I'll always make a point of stopping here whenever I pass through. read more

My scrambled egg was not a scrambled egg the service sucked my husband was choking and needed another glass of water the staff ignored me every time I asked for an another glass of water. I had to go to the station to get a cook attention for a glass of water. The waitress never came back only to give us the ticket. Usually it's a great place to eat read more

Love the vintage Diner look of this place. It's easy to spot from Main Street. We had a nice breakfast, wanted something smaller for breakfast and their Senior (+55) menu has smaller portions and lower price. I don't think they age check- lol- so you can order it no matter your age!! Imagine being carded if you're 45... haha!! Lots of selection and fast service too. Just a 5 minute wait for a table on a weekend. That's great! CO is opening up from restaurants restrictions and everyone seems to react differently. Now: Inside dining, Nice customers, some family groups, seating isn't quite 6 feet apart and people do take off their masks to eat. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Booths are cleaned between patrons. Seems safe to me. During COVID-19 times, you get pre-packaged silverware- at least it's not plastic! Plastic knives are a pain. You have to ask for condiments- hot sauce, salsa and ketchup, just FYI. Enjoy! read more

Visiting Cortez for the first time and was looking for a breakfast place open early. Have of course been to Denny's in other cities but what a huge surprise at how nice this Denny's is. The food was good, and the restaurant has a cool retro diner vibe, but most importantly, the service here is just phenomenal. Waitress, cashier, and especially the manager (who was constantly refilling coffee, asking if everything was good etc) were just 1000% on their game, friendly, prompt, welcoming. This is what great looks like. I wish every restaurant was as friendly and professional as the crew at this place. Highly recommend. read more

Nastiness!!! Worst service EVER!!! Food was inedible, when it finally arrived. Cannot believe they stay in business at all!!! We were desperate, but NEVER EVER that desperate again!!! We should have taken the hint that it was NOT at all a good choice, when we waited nearly 45 to even be waited on. There was only one table of a family with small children, two older gentlemen, and us!!! Idk if the staff was all on break at the same time or just out back getting stoned... EVERYONE in the place was getting incredibly irritated, and some were pushed to the edge of being furious!! Only good thing about the place, is that it had a cute building exterior. read more

Double cheeseburger, fries, vanilla shake. Great flavors, fresh bun, big portion. Super busy. Friendly service. Old diner style.

Had the skillet for dinner great price and a lot of food . The waiter was very friendly even with them being short staffed . He did a great job . read more

This location is TERRIBLE. Not only did I find a BIG LONG BLACK HAIR in my sandwich but the service was bad, the food was over cooked and the portions weren't correct for a normal Dennys. There was an obvious lack of quality and overall care here. There's plenty of other restaurants in Cortez, skip this place. read more

Today, Our food was delicious I enjoyed it. And Our server Kayla D was super friendly, she checked up on us and asked if we needed anything more then twice. Great server and food ! read more

Huh... They don't open until 7:00 am. This COVID-19 thing just messes with everything. Still, my big decision to eat here was because of the building. Love the style. But the food helps, too. The usual Denny's fare. Oddly, some places prepare it better than others. This place is pretty good. read more

Denny's - Back on the road, so.... Big Breakfast! - Diners Near Me - Cortez, Colorado

The place is giving old timey feelings really brings us back to the 50's where the colors sit in the back and the whites sit in the front. What a great way to bring you back in time! I hope it's not like this all the time in all honesty. This Denny's is by 2 different large reservation's, In an area that's predominantly full of racial diversity you'd think Dennys would do better and set the environment to be inclusive so everyone in the diverse mix feels involved, valued, respected, and treated fairly. read more

Ethan Cooper is a great server and Tonya from the kitchen cooked the food waht i asked them to. keep it up guys.

Well, this is the second best breakfast in Cortez! The first goes to Pippos, long a local favorite! Dennys is not exciting, you know, generally speaking, what you will be getting. Ho-hum... read more

It was so refreshing to have a great waitress last night. Kayla D. was attentive and very professional. Thanks Kayla!

I visit this Denny's often, I always see the Manager touching base with all the tables. The food is hot and tasty every time and served with a smile. read more

Best dennys I have ever gone too. Food was actually great. Location and parking is perfect too. Staff were very friendly and checked in on me at the right time. 10/10 recommend. read more

not the best Denny's but also not the worst. I sat unattended for what felt like too long, and more than one staff member walked by and wouldn't make eye contact. it was not what I would consider busy at the time either. toast of my sandwich was under toasted and it looked like my neighbor's was too. kitchen staff was berating the front staff loudly as well. it didn't last long but was still disturbing read more

Food was excellent. You would think all Dennys are same, they are not. The cooks here know how to really cook. Service was really good and Alicia was very helpful and friendly. Diner was styled after a 50s diner. read more

STAY AWAY - I don't do negative reviews. My negative I won't go back. You don't get my $$$. This has to be the worst.... Got seated at a booth that the seat material was ripped so bad I could hide my back pack inside. Went to get another table and booth seat was also ripped. Other tables were dirty and waitresses were just standing around as if they didn't want to be there. I don't expect much from Denny's but this is bad on another level. Not trusting the dirt and our experience we left. We won't be back anytime soon. read more

Service was horrible. Waited forever to be seated, waited forever for our food, the waitress seemed to purposefully avoid our table of three. I eventually had to get up and ask for help. read more

My favorite place to stop and eat when visiting. The staff is super friendly and you can tell they keep busy. The restaurant is very clean and the food is hot and delicious. You can tell the manager Ellen really cares for the restaurant and how her customers and staff are treated. You can always see her in the dining room or kitchen helping the staff. read more

Visit: Wednesday, June 20, 2018 After two days of having no good food in Mesa Verde, we were excited to come back down to the modern world and have something to eat for lunch. Not wanting to take any chances, we went to the first chain restaurant we saw, and that happened to be Denny's. The place was somewhat busy, but we were able to be seated right away. Being that we were all super hungry, we ordered a bunch of food. I ordered a Grand Slamwich with a fruit cup and an extra Caesar salad on the side. The sandwich was pretty salty, but still tasted good and came in a big portion. I was so hungry that I didn't notice at first that my sandwich came with hash browns instead of the fruit cup I ordered. Our server noticed before I did and then brought me a fruit cup. We ended up getting charged for both, which is unusual since they made the mistake, but I ate both, so I didn't question it. Both the hash browns and the fruit cup were pretty average and unremarkable. The salad was overly dressed, in my opinion, but at least the lettuce tasted fresh and wasn't soggy. Service was okay. Besides bringing me the wrong side, they did nothing wrong. They were all friendly and pleasant overall. We never had to wait too long for our food or for anything else we requested. This is more or less what you'd expect from a Denny's: decent food and decent service that does the trick. read more

It's a Denny's. Food is what you expect from same. Service was good. No complaints. Clean place. Friendly people.

My kids were so excited to come here tonight. Thank you Kayla for great service. We will definitely be back.

Worst food ever! I ordered the bourbon chicken and it came to my table smothered in teriyaki sauce. I complained to the manager and she felt the need to correct me saying that it wasn't teriyaki sauce. I then told her I'm from Hawaii I know what teriyaki sauce is. Unreal! Don't eat here! read more
