The food is ok - typical Denny's road food, but the service is painfully slow and the staff seems apathetic to the needs of any customers other than their repeat favorites. They're more interested in chatting than doing their job. The food isn't bad, but I have to wonder what laws of physics we're broken to get my pancakes both soggy and burnt at the same time. read more

A verrrry slow restaurant... very few tables and yet we waited for so long to get our breakfast. I asked for my order one way and it came out the opposite of what I asked... things happen, but the slowness when you cater to travelers off of 85... not good at all. Even to pay the bill at the register I was left waiting... no complaints about the food itself - tasted fine for Denny's. read more

Had the crazy spicey skillet , restaurant was clean and waitress was very delightful was a wonderful experience thank you CeCe for your service I will definitely be back read more

Denny's - The dinning room - American Near Me - Haw River, North Carolina

First off this is a truck stop. Trucks are expected to operate 24/7. The driver need a place to eat. These big company shit holes bring in shit holes like Denny's that can't stay open past 7:30pm when their hours say 8:00pm. Another fine example of how big corporations put the mom and pops out of business and expect a good review. I will never stop at a Denny's ever again. I hope they can't pay their rent and Hooks find new quality restaurants with real home cooked food not the prepared bull shit they think is quality. read more

Mediocre/Fair. While passing through the area on my return to Ga, the Alaskan Salmon was ok for a quick bite,and though I can't remember what it was now, I did order a side item that wasn't right - which I had to send back and cancel. My waitress Adrienne C was kind and helpful, however the service was a bit slow since I wanted to "eat & run", and, I had to wait a while to receive my change - I think she forgot she received my $20 bill until I left my booth and went on a search for her. read more

Only gets 1 star because i couldn't give it less. My wife and i walked in and waited for about 5 min for anyone to approach us before i had to go find someone. Once i did she said it would be about 30 min before she could seat us. Which was insane since over 1/2 the dinning room was empty! There was someone on the phone and people goofing around in the kitchen. At that point we walked out! read more

Horrible service and run down dirty dining room. There was a manager who was talking on the phone at the hostess desk in my line of site for five of the fifteen minutes no one offered to serve us. I have never given a one star rating on Yelp, but this place doesn't deserve one star! We will never try this location again. read more

Food wasn't the best but it was ok... Service was excellent! I wanted to order a crepe but they don't even know what was that lol ...I usually order them at every Denny's we go to..sad :-( read more

Denny's - Dust everywhere and a human hair - American Near Me - Haw River, North Carolina

See all

This place has a family friendly vibe and has the best burger I have had in a while, I don't usually like a lot of shakes either but I loved the horchata shake, absolutely amazing! I would come again in a heart beat! Even at 11pm they are on the ball and so super nice! read more

Takes way to long to get food and then hash Brown looks burnt but not cooked all the way

This could quite possibly be the worst Danny's I've ever been to. It was after church so we expected a wait. After telling us that we would have to wait before he could even talk to us about a seat, it took him about 10 minutes of running around like a chicken with his head cut off to seat a family of six. Clearly he was in over his head. The problem is there couldn't have been more than 25 customers in the entire restaurant. In fact at one point I commented that there were more waitresses standing around than there were tables with customers. He then came back and said it would be another 15 minutes before he could seat us because the kitchen was backed up...so we couldn't sit at one of the 20 open tables and at least have coffee! Denny's is usually one of my favorite places to eat...avoid this one at all cost! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER We were seated right away, got coffee right away. Waitress asked if we needed cream we said yes the SHE DISAPPEARED into the kitchen.,.. 10 minutes later she reappears and I ask her for the cream and she says you are NOT MY TABLE.... comes back 10 minutes later to apologize and take our order....45 minutes later I track her down and ask where our food is and she acts surprised "What you didn't get your food" ...... We left quite dissatisfied and HANGRY Went up the street to Ruby Tuesday and received EXCELLENT service despite it now being lunch hour crush Denny's NEVER AGAIN read more

Worst service that we have had, was seated and had to wait 10 mins to get asked for drinks. Three other customers were seated after we got there and were attended quick . Their food was also there within 15mins while we were still waiting for our orders to be taken. I don't bring race into anything but it's hard to not notice such service we were given while the other three customers who were white, were treated quicker. I'm disappointed and will be making some contacts to upper management and corporate. read more

To say it was slow is an understatement. The hostess did tell us there was only one waitress working. We gave our order and waited approximately 45 minutes for the food. I ordered the original grand slam with instructions to make sure the eggs were well done. No running or giggling. The yellow and white completely done. When the food came out I went to cut my eggs and one yellow was runny. With as long as it took to get the food you would have thought they could cook the eggs the way I ordered. Oh well. We will probably never be back. read more

Don't eat here! So slow even when it is not busy. The waitress was doing double duty as counter clerk too. We found her chatting instead of coming to take our order. This is not the place to go even if you are not rushed. Decaf coffee was cold and burned. I am writing this after waiting for the order for over 3/4 hour. Two stars is being generous. The food was cold and not very appetizing. Left very disappointed. read more

Overall this Denny's has good food and fast service. Being at a Pilot truck stop, the prices are a bit higher than a normal restaurant. On our last visit, my wife found her meal (a steak skillet) too salty to even eat. My food (an egg breakfast) was fine. read more

Denny's is a Great place. Some locations are awful. This one is at a truck stop. It's great because the ceilings are vaulted and you feel less claustrophobic. The service is great, for what it is. If you're a coffee drinker, they have a mild and dark roast. The coffees always fresh and well brewed. If you sit at the counter you can watch tv while you eat. Coffees always full and the food is good. read more

I've been sitting here an hour. Food took about a half hour to come out. The waitress apologized saying there was only one cook back there. Hmmm. I think there's maybe 5 people in the whole place. Of course I was comforted being told the coffee was being made. 20 minutes later I get a cup. With no cream. I asked for some about 10 minutes later. Still no cream. This service is horrible. Do not come here. Friendly yes. Attentive hell no. Should have went in the drive thru. Food tasted good though ((shrugs)). read more

Ordered online at 5:08am thru Grubhub for pickup. Estimated time was 5:29-5:49am. Arrived at 5:26am, sat down at the waiting area because I knew I was early. The only 2 people working(man and women) standing at the drink station giggling and flirting, seen me come in and sit down and didn't acknowledge me. Went to the back while another customer approached and stood there a few mins before asking me were they closed. I told him I ordered online and he left. Few mins after that, the hostess comes and asks me was I placing a order and I say no I have a online order. She looks confused and asks what I ordered as she goes to the receipt machine to grab the only ticket(mine) and says "oh we don't make it until you get here because people order and don't show up or show up late." I say "well I ordered and paid online so I kinda expected it to be at least in preparation when I got here." Was told it'd be about 10 mins. Will follow up later. I'm local to this area and work late nights, early mornings and have dealt with this place numerous times over a 20 year span and I can assure anyone planning to stop here, "don't". Food is hit or miss and customer service is just trash, and honestly every time I come here it's takes all my self control to not lash out and lose my temper on the lazy, careless, carefree employees. They go in the back and don't even pop their heads out to check on customers. read more

We came here Saturday night at 730 pm. At 830 pm we were still waiting for our food. They weren't that busy but everybody had to wait. Surprisingly the food was very good once we got it. Although I didn't get the bacon I ordered and my companion ordered his eggs sunny side up and they came scrambled. I never did understand why it took so long. The waitress must have told us 10 times that our food was almost ready read more

I recently tried THIS Denny's AGAIN, after I received food poisoning the first time I dined at this location... Thinking it was a fluke... It WAS NOT! The Service is STILL HORRIBLE, our food was cold, the fries tasted like bad puff pastry with no flavor to be had... Our waitress actually took my fries BACK to the kitchen after I complained and asked for onion rings... Only, she took SO LONG to get those (she only had 3 tables, it was 4am...) that we got the rings to go... When she charged us, she "offered" a 10% discount, which was an INSULT! Then, when we told her that we needed to split the check, she told us that this would VOID our DISCOUNT and she ended up charging us FULL PRICE for LOUSY SERVICE and a LOUSY MEAL! So Instead of paying 16 Dollars and some Change, we ended up paying almost 20... I was PISSED because she acted like she EXPECTED a TIP... MY girlfriend, being the nice person that she is, ACTUALLY GAVE HER ONE... So we ended up paying a total of 23.00 for LOUSY SERVICE! Why is it so hard to get a good burger and Fries?!? I mean, is it so hard to cook a potato and a meat patty at this location?!?! Rest assured, I will never GO HERE AGAIN. I am about to boycott Denny's Completely, which is a Real Shame, because I USED to LOVE their chain. This place NEEDS to find some real servers, cooks, and people who care about food Quality, because they are severely LACKING in ALL AREAS! They have lost 3 customers for sure, and I will be SURE to get the word out about this location. I am tired of being served BAD FOOD, by people with BAD ATTITUDES. Not to mention the fact that I heard our waitress tell another customer that the "produce truck doesn't come until the morning and so they 'Don't have a lot of their menu ingredients'" Seems like they should keep BETTER INVENTORY! Then, the same waitress, (who also waited on us), brought this man a WHOLE AVOCADO, (complete with the grocer sticker attached.. not sliced or ANYTHING), for his Burger... I MEAN, REALLY?!?! IS THIS WHAT DENNY's HAS COME TO?!?! I Will avoid this location at ALL COST. It Absolutely STINKS!!! read more

Ms. Etta was our waitress and her services was excellent. The food was very good and came out in a timely manner. As we were checking out, a lady manager had us wait without acknowledging us while she proceeded to change the register to a new shift. She talked to waitresses about who was scheduled to work, etc. After she finished which was approximately seven minutes, did she collect for service. read more

By far the worst Dennys I've ever been to... The staff is loud and unprofessional... It's a Cracker Barrel at exit 153 don't waste your time with Dennys read more

I went for the birthday special, my experience was horrible from when I first stepped in the building I waited to be seated , Paula the server was standing a few feet away from us cleaning up, only one family was in the reasturaunt but she didn't even say hello, rather waited until the other server got done with the family to come and seat us, she told the other girl that she was busy and didn't feel like taking any more tables, the other girl seated us, but didn't ask what we wanted to drink or tell us her name instead told us she had to go get the family's food (mind you the only other people in the entire place), so after about 10 minutes of me staring Paula down she finally came and asked what we wanted to drink , I told her it was my birthday and I wanted the special to which she replied we don't do that anymore without an online coupon, then proceeded to go ask the manager if it was okay just this once. She came back with the worst attitude was rolling her eyes and rushing me and my girlfriend to order like rude as ever ! I'm a calm and understanding guy but she really did a horrible job taking our order, on my birthday at that! Didn't even tell me happy birthday. After she walked off my girlfriend could see the emotions on my face and asked if I wanted to leave because the girl was ruining my birthday breakfast. I said yes and we left. I was so hungry I wanted to stay but your server Paula drove me to leave, the manager was there and they didn't seem to care either I hope someone from corporate gets this settled, maybe writing this review will deter another couple from having a terrible experience and having to relocate. PAULA: if you don't like smiling and being nice you need to find a job that doesn't involve customer service, how do you expect to make tips with a lousy attitude ? My girlfriend and I did nothing to you and you treated us like we was sub human or the worst people ever, maybe someone treated you that way and your paying it forward but we are random customers never been there before! You should have personally made us feel at home but instead you ignored us until you had no choice then Made us feel like we was bothering you. read more

Service sucks. Waited 5minutes to be seated to find out all tables needed bused. No hostess to seat and nobody acknowledged people waiting. Stay away from here read more

On thing that we have to remember, is that we are not always top notch at our profession! I've been here a few times & I do not have any problems. Yes... the experience should be directed to us... But we should take into consideration how hard these people work to please us. Despite being tired, achey feet, or even being short-handed! I feel that the ladies here do a pretty darn good job, at making my dine-in experience pleasurable!!! read more

I don't like to judge a restaurant on just one trip if I have a bad experience. But we stopped again and had another bad experience. The first time we waited over 50 minutes to get our food and this time we ordered a steak breakfast and wanted the steak medium rare and it was fully cooked. For the first breakfast we were told a cook didn't show up for work and that is why we waited so long. The second time was either the waitress didn't request it properly or the cook didn't pay attention to the order. Either way we will not frequent this Denny's anymore. read more

The GM of this restaurant needs to be fired immediately!!! I stop in there cause it's at the Flying J truck stop, but I swear I'd rather walk 1mile down the street. I stopped in there and got seated right away. My server brought my drink out just as I sat and took my order. (pancakes, eggs over easy, hash, sausage..)simple right? And that was it..... I waited about 20 min for her get me another drink and saw her walk outside twice with her cell phone. I had to get another server who was zigzagging through the restaurant to get me another drink . Another 15 min pass. She came over to explain to me that there was only one cook. why do they have 1 cook at the dinner hour at a truck stop full of hungry truckers? I don't know! So I waited another 20 min. Meanwhile I noticed 5 people get up and walk out. Most haven't even received drinks. Some were seated when I walked in. Finally my pancakes arrive. I Got them 1st had to wait for the hash, sausage and eggs separately. Then got the eggs.... they were sunny side up and the yolks were busted!!! I sent them back. I asked for butter from 2 servers ,and then they get pulled away by another customers So I just said forget it. I cannot count how many times I've been in there for the dinner hour and they would be outta hamburgers,steaks,meatballs etc. out of all these items at the same time! The GM needs to order more food. He/she needs to train customer service skills. they need to work their own sections. I see servers running back and forth to other peoples tables because their server is missing! I've been in there and seen people waiting 45 min to hours for food. This place can easily be fixed ,just needs a GM who knows what they are doing. read more

This place is terrible. My food took 40 minutes to come even though there were only 2 other people in the whole place. I sent it back and they took another 30 minutes to bring out another plate that also was NOT what I ordered. When I got up to pay for the drink and leave the manager wouldn't even come out of the kitchen. WORST Denny's in America.. The staff barely pays attention to it's customers. While I was here I watched as 2 waitresses argued another was walking back and forth but not actually doing anything and another was talking on her personal cell phone while at least 2 other patrons were sitting and waiting for service. Myself on the other hand was luck enough to have landed a wonderful waitress named Gabrielle (Gabbi). She is very sweet and attentive. There is also a young host that is doing an excellent job. His name is Eli and I'm sure he would be a better waiter than the others they have here. I obviously don't know anything about the other shifts but I've been here twice both times about 4-5pm. THIS MANAGER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED read more

Very disappointing. Small portions. Place was not very clean and, the food was average at best.Service was fine.

Great place at this location. Maintained well, good food good deink good experience.

This place is gross. Ordered two eggs over easy and when I pierced the yolks a clear watery substance ran out. I showed it to the waitress and she says "oh, that's not supposed to happen with over easy because you actually have to crack the eggs!" We had to wait for coffee because the cook had to make more. What they only have one pot?!?!? It's a breakfast place for Pete's sake. I think if Denny's corporate ever visited this place they would pull the franchise so fast!!! Dirty, slow, gross. read more

My family & i went to dennys at my suggestion.I usually love this place but tonight was horrific. We arrived and were seated quickly. It took almost an hour and a half to get our food and not all at once. We were told they were short handed but i dont want to hear that and our food was cold. We were comped only part of our meal but it should have been all of it. We were very very very disappointed. read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I can not even rate the food as we were never even acknowledged after the hostess sat us in our booth. It was very late and my kids were tired and we needed to eat something as we had been on the road all day. She had no problem talking and waiting on two other tables but did not even come over to welcome us and ask for drinks. Much time passed and we got up and left as we knew the real reason why she did not serve us but did serve and acknowledge others. She also had the nerve to ask "Y'all ain't stayin' ", after we were already at the door. Of course we are not. Now there was a rather large bug that crept out of the menu right before we got up to leave. So, if that is what is produced at the front of the house, I will bet the kitchen is dirty as well. I lived in Europe for 6 years so I know how to be patient with restaurant service as they believe in slowing down to enjoy. However, I also know that Denny's is like any other restaurant in America, and on point, quick efficient and friendly service is expected and most of the time delivered (NOT HERE THOUGH) . What a great welcome back to America and the racism that goes with it! BTW, my family and I are Caucasian, the waitress was not and nor were the customers she did provide service and conversation to. Will never even contemplate eating or attempting to eat at one of these establishments ever again. Honestly, I guess I had been gone long enough for this type of behavior to be openly accepted. The chain franchise owner of this particular Denny's should be ashamed to call himself/herself an entrepreneur. I thought Denny's would have learned their lesson in the mid-1990's about being openly racist towards its customers. THAT door swings BOTH ways. End rant. read more

I'm trying to figure out how you can advertise pancakes and not have any. Very disappointing and to top it off the workers are wearing pancake t-shirts. read more

Not good. Not good at all. We have gave them several chances to change our minds. Each time has been the same. Greasy food, dirty silverware, coffee cup with leftover lipstick on it. Not going back! read more

This by far is one of the worst places my wife and I ate at. Ordered the sampler platter and everything on it was just soaked full of grease. I put just one fried pepper on a napkin and there was enough oil in the pepper to saturate the whole napkin. The severs just walk around like they do not even want to be there. Don't get me wrong I like Denny's, but not this one. Not recommended at all. read more

Got a refund from the corporate. The corporate office gave me The female customers. Told us they not want to wait on me much. said would rather wait on other person. The two female employees . One hostess and cashier. They saw us they ran away from me. And had to ask them to wait on us. They were gossiping and eating a meal. And had to yell at them to get wait on . They were only nice to male tables. We had to yell at them to come back to us. They were on waiting on male tables. The waitress came to our table. Rush to get rid of us, yell at us, ran away from us. It was a problem to order. And problem to ask them to come back. And continue to wait on us. Talk back rude and interrupt. We wanted more napkins and gave us towels. We ask for a credit for our coffee. They would not volunteer to give us refill. Brought us burned toast. And had to ask them to correct it. Many dirty tables end not busy. And not clean it up. The hostess walk away from us when we paid for the meal. She not come back and had to ask her to finish her job. the decor pain and seats comfortable. The menu has a good amount of items to choose from. The plates are big and full of food. Prices are mid -range. read more
