Amazing Victor the Chef! I originally ordered the French toast slam. I did scrambled eggs with cheese, two slices of sausage and two slices of bacon, and of course, a crepé. I am 43 years old, a size 4 but love Denny's and have eaten at Denny's since I was in Kindergarten Even though I space it out like once a year, it still has not changed. Yes, the prices these days can be rough anywhere, but at-least the flavors are consistently the same. I just wanted to say Thank you and share how I was served = perfectly! Thank you chef, for your skills, your sweat, your hard work, for pleasing the unpleasant and unpleasable at times, and, of course I want to thank you for making this 'breakfast-dinner' look exactly like the pictures- OH! it also traveled well- Had no mistakes - I saw the other reviews and thought how I don't like negative negative reviews so here's a positive one that is deserved. Thank you Victor, your skills are noticed stay the same :) Management : your staff here is friendly on the phone ! read more

Elisa was out Waiter she delivered and excellent customer service. Food was delicious as always.

Heidi is great! polite and fast and efficient! she's served us several times and is one of our faves!

My dad and I go every Wednesday morn and we request the same amazing waitress, Elisa. Today my family and I celebrated my dad turning 95. Thanks again Elisa for your excellence in waitressing and your beautiful smile. You made dad's breakfast birthday complete. Oh...and yes, the food was good too! read more

I am never disappointed when I come to Denny's. I always have the best service and my food is always good. I visit Several different ones in California and Oregon or wherever I am traveling. Today our Server was Elsa and we were very pleased with her service and our food! read more

TBH I think the waitress "Heidi" scammed me at checkout. After discount, my total bill came to $16.90. I pushed 22% gratuity which should have been $3.52. When I looked at my receipt, I noticed $9.00 gratuity. The manager made excuses. THERE'S SOMETHING FISHY...BE CAREFUL AT DENNY'S 82nd. CHECK RECIPE CAREFULLY. PS they never explained why the $9.00 gratuity. They just made excuses. read more

Wow was not expecting such great service. I welcomed in by Melissa w it was clean food was hot thank you Denny's I will be back. Yea the Battle Burger was awesome read more

Great location, Heidi is very efficient, and I would definitely return again. again!!

Food was just your average Denny's food, nothing special but good enough. The real star of the show was our server Elisa! She was so kind, attentive, and just gave us the best experience overall. Give this woman a raise!!! She deserves the world. read more

Manager Miss Shelia called me this morning and completely understood my complaint about the roadkill Tbone steak and crusty over medium eggs. She was able to credit me for the steak and eggs (partial refund). She was pleasant, professional, understanding, sweet, good natured and a warm people person with a great personality. Quite a contrast to the "manager" I spoke to at 4:30 am who couldn't bother with my complaint and told me to call Uber. (Uber didn't cook my steak and eggs) Keep this lady, she is an asset to your company! Thank you, Miss Sheila We had a wonderful laugh this morning, you made my day! read more

Heidi was amazing! From the moment we walked in she was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. She checked on our table often, made sure our drinks were always full, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Our food came out fast and she had a great attitude the whole time. You can tell she really cares about doing a good job and making customers happy. Definitely one of the best experiences I've had at IHOP. Thanks Heidi! read more

Elisa is amazing!! She is the best server ever and she does a great job in what she does! Even when it's super busy and she's the only one in the front (like today) she made sure everyone got their food fast and correct. She is the sweetest ever! read more

Great breakfast at Denny's! Food was hot and fresh, and Elisa was an amazing server--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. read more

This is so depressing! I always get the skillet from here. It was very salty and cold. To put it in better perspective the cheese wasn't even melting. The portion was another disappointing factor to add on. Highly don't recommend eating here. read more

We were there 3 months ago and had an amazing experience with Ashley. We went back tonight and had a terrible experience with Alex, he should not be a server! Unbelievably slow, we waited about 15 minutes to order, with no other customers, even longer to get our check. After tonight, we will no longer eat at Dennys! It is absolutely unacceptable to not offer gluten free buns, and you just took away the gluten free English muffins, making for a disappointing meal. Until you offer gluten free buns and muffins, we will not return. Former Dennys fan. read more

Food was served while still hot. The Staff and servers were very efficient. the ambiance was a little lacking. A few to many crying children... But hey it happens. Will definitely return. Love the Grand Slam special.. please keep that on the men. TJ read more

We go to Denny's once a week for breakfast. Sometimes twice. Server Liz is the reason. She always makes us feel like she's happy that we're there. She is a bright light in our lives. The service is excellent from ALL the staff whether we're there for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Regardless of how busy it is, they always have a smile and a friendly word. The food is perfect comfort food. It's just always a happy experience. One suggestion to the manager - the windows need washing! read more

Heidi was friendly and letting everyone know about the review cards, as she was getting the guest(s) drink(s) order. Heidi came back to make sure if Everyones food was alright and if anyone needed refills on drinks. read more

The food is excellent and Missy is the best! The service is outstanding. Missy and everyone at the restaurant is so helpful and kind. And the food is always top notch. Highly recommend. read more

Operative word - slow. Food expensive for what it is. Mediocre but near the hospital we have to be at for a family member

We always go to this Dennys at Happy Valley 82 nd Ave for breakfast because our orders are done right and the servers, especially Flavio is kind, polite , helpful , respectful and has a great personality. He is knowledgeable in what he does. It is always a great start in the morning to get breakfast there !!!! Thank you for the good service! read more

Service and food is pretty good, but much better when you stay and dine in. When you order food to go it is generally overcooked and much smaller portions so I don't recommend their take-out. read more

What do you expect from a chain restaurant? Our family went to this location on Monday, 8/18/2025, and were treated very well. Our server, a seasoned veteran (sorry, we did not get her name) was very cordial, accommodating and knowledgeable of the menu. It was comforting to know that on an impromptu visit, we walked right in with a good sized group, and were treated with a smile. Normally, other restaurants would not be as inviting. She took care of us, catered to our needs and smiled the whole time. She was busy with others, but was poised enough to fill our waters, coffee, and kept the dipping sauces (ranch) coming. She never missed a beat. We were there about 11 in the morning, and you exemplified the true spirit of great customer service. When passing through, this Dennys restaurant is on our "to do" list. A must because of the service. Oh, and to mention, the "Slam Burgers" and other menu items we had were good too. Only gripe was, my chicken fried steak could have used one more scoop of your delicious gravy. No worries though, we had lots of ranch dressing on the table. read more

Friendly staff. Melissa W our waitress was wonderful. Surprised at the prices and quantity of the food. I had a keto friendly Prime Rib salad and it was delicious. Mom had the mile high Denver omelet, commented on how much ham was in it. Pancakes actually had taste! Mom also had a milkshake which was made with real ice cream. We will be coming back! read more

Food was good Service was good Restaurant filthy, windows gross, entry way grossly dirty. Hey Store Manager, open your eyes, tour your restaurant and clean something. It's kinda gross to see food, handprints, cobwebs all over window ledges and windows read more

This morning at 0530 I entered Dennys for breakfast, which I will NEVER EVER do again! The table I selected to dine at was filthy with ketchup smears and bread crumbs. I literally cleaned it with water and a napkin. The area where I sat smelled like a cesspool. The glass with orange juice filthy, littered with food particle, and the silverware was dirty. From what I experienced this restaurant is NOT sanitary. This was the worse breakfast I've had in decades. read more

Denny's had a menu upgrade. Looks like they added some old favorites like spaghetti & meatballs & then more sandwiches. I got the Pot Roast Melt. Overall it was pretty good. I think next time though I'd take off onion. It just made it a tad greasy/ liquidy. Overall though it tastes good. Meat was tender! My kid has some birthday cake pancakes. The service was great. We had a nice little lady. She was very helpful & sweet to my kid! If I were to go back or not, I would return! read more

Restaurant was short staffed and although they acknowledged we were there, we were ignored for a good 10 minutes. The manager finished filling an order to go, kept looking for the server, but cashed out 2 people AND took an order to go before she sat us down. Now the restaurant was NOT full, the server was doing his job by tending to his tables, the manager on the other hand was in extreme slow motion mode. My hat off to the server. Unfortunately you seem to get better service when it's busy. read more

The service was awesome and great food selection and quality . The gentlemen who was our server was super busy but did an excellent job taking care of all the customers in a professional friendly manner . Our host/server was George H read more

DONT COME HERE They made my pancakes to dark PLUS the sprite was HAD no syrup or sugar the order took to long nachos were good but to much toppings the bacon is to small the service was weird I'd rather be at IHOP read more

Denny's is like an old friend you see now and then an pick up where you left off. Rekindling old memories and enjoying new ones. As I've gotten older my diet has changed so where I used to love the Grand Slam as a kid , I'm now strictly pancakes and ham. A good hearty salad minus night shade or dairy or a great burger with a side of fruit. Wish I could still drink those milk shakes but now lactose intolerant I can just reminisce from a distance. I mostly order in these days but when I do the food is always fresh, and delicious as you'd expect from Denny's. I haven't seen you in awhile old friend, I best order something today and catch up on what's new, eh? read more

Do not order the onion rings!! Paid $7 for 4 terrible onion rings. Could've went across the street to burger king and got a large same tasting onion ring for $1. read more

I haven't been to this Denny's in a long time. Quite honestly, I wont go back to this Denny's either. It was a Monday mid morning so not busy. The hostess asked me how many in my party then stood by the register and pointed which table I should seat myself at rather than seating me. It took an unusually long time for my order to come. In fact, my waitress came to the table twice to tell me it shouldn't be much longer. I joked the second time saying, the cook must have gone on break or something. She replied "he just came back". She was completely serious. When I did get my order, it was wrong. I just scraped that part to the side. Not once did she come to the table to see how I was doing. I noticed the sign saying "under new management". Unfortunately , the parking lot had some homeless literally camping out and garbage spread everywhere. Wow! Things certainly have gone downhill here in the past few years. The one positive was that the food was good. read more

My family and I came here for dinner on 7/01/21. We ordered a senior chicken fried steak, a full order of Zesty nachos, and the wild Alaska Salmon dinner. We also ordered an ice tea, and a Coke. It took a while to get out food. When we got it the chicken fried steak dinner, and Wild Alaska salmon dinner was good. The Zesty nachos didn't taste so good and couldn't eat them. Over all most everything was ok. We will probably give it another try in the future. read more

Best food and good service especially Franklin he's a server nice guy! The tables were cleaned the food didn't take long!

Tried calling to ask a question before I came in and no one answered. I called three separate times. Super disappointed in this restaurant. Decided against going there since they couldn't answer my question. Not a good sign. read more

The manager needs additional customer service training. The first thing she said was "did you read the sign on the door?" We said " are you not open?" She said " if you read the sign you would see I don't have a cook for 35 minutes, he's on lunch, sometimes he's 10 minutes late coming back" . TMI and unprofessional. The not was written in pen ink on a piece of notebook paper, above eye level. She needs to learn how to properly make a sign and communicate with people. We understand the cook has a right to a break and that's understandable. However, the manager refused to let anyone sit until the cook walks back through the door. One woman in a wheelchair wanted to be seated, but this manager said "no" and had an attitude of go somewhere else. I think I can see why Dennys is struggling financially if other locations have this same type of manager. I would like to return to this location, however, not with her as manager. There's lots of other options for dining and I wish the dozen customers that left because they would not be allowed to sit. read more
