    I love me some breakfast! Denny's never disappoints. The food was amazing and the service was 10/10. The ambiance was incredible. When we arrived there was no line and they helped us fast. Food was delivered so fast! I can probably say this is the first time my food gets delivered this fast ! Will be back soon!

    Craving breakfast I must admit I stopped at ihop first and had a horrible experience and ended up stopping here. Soooo glad that I did. Upon waking in was immediately greeted and seated. Not too much longer after given a menu and ordered drinks. Although I didn't see any of the specials on the menu and ended up using my phone to pull it up on their website I ordered right away. Server was very nice and food didn't take long at all. Came out exactly how I ordered fresh and hot! 10/10 on food. Coffee a bit weak aka watery but I'm not complaining not everyone likes it strong. 6/10 service again 10/10 very attentive but not overbearing. Cleanliness of the restaurant could use some help though. Walls and floors was a bit dirty 4/10. Probably my new go to for a quick breakfast! Thank you

    Slamburger 5 onion rings is all we got with up charge
    Ariana H.

    Denny's is never, ever my first choice, but I was working late and had a few minutes free--with no kids, just my husband--so I had to make a decision. I'm so glad I did, this night in particular. When we walked in, it was completely empty. Pedro was all alone at the front and seated us right away. We got our menus, and he went off to tell the cook they had guests. Once he got our drink order, more people started walking in and he had to help all of them. I was able to hear him with other customers, and I noticed he was very professional and took time to answer their questions in great detail. Once we placed our order, even more people came in, and he made sure to greet them and let them know he would be right with them. I ordered the Berry Vanilla Crepe Breakfast with only one crepe. The cook accidentally made me two, and Pedro made sure to let me know it was their mistake and I wouldn't be charged for it. The crepes were delicious, but the eggs and hash browns were a little too oily. My husband ordered his favorite--the Slamburger with a side of onion rings. Unfortunately, he only got about five onion rings, even though it was an upcharge to add them. He barely got any. The Slamburger never disappoints, though. The food here is still not my favorite, but I really appreciated Pedro's service. With about five tables and one to-go order, he was still managing to check in on all his tables and bring food out in a timely manner. He deserves a raise!

    You will not get this value menu UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT!

    This location does not give you the Value Slam menu for under $10. You will have to ask for it. This happened to us three times in a row. I don't think they forget, they purposely won't give it to you.

    Looks a bit sad for a birthday slam
    Sherman T.

    Hit or miss! Everyone knows Denny's as one of the most ubiquitous diners in America, which means you will get consistent food quality each time regardless of location. Service on the other hand can be highly variable depending on the server you get, the day of the week and time of the day. It's not reliant at all to expect a warm welcome and issue-free dining experience. My most recent visit was on my birthday - they still honor the annual birthday complimentary slam as long as you show proof that you've received an email or code through the app. The app is horrible by the way - there is no birthday code and it's buggy when trying to scan in. We were seated at a booth by one of the servers who was very friendly and understanding when I mentioned I never received the email for the birthday slam (apparently the app wanted me to reset my password before sending me the code, have I mentioned that the app sucks?). Then a different server came to take our order. We just ordered the breakfast slam and a double berry pancake slam and waters (it was just me who was going to get coffee later from a coffee shop and my kid who doesn't drink coffee). We got our food at a reasonable time and the stacks of pancakes looked great! The bacon strips were also very crispy and eggs were cooked perfectly. Flavors and portions were good, it does seem more expensive nowadays but all in all, not terrible. After finishing up our food, we went to pay in the front. The cashier was nice and punched in the free slam, however, they ended up charging me two coffees and what seemed like an a la carte version of the berry pancakes. The price ended up being higher than expected but only after looking at the receipt did I realize their mistake. I went back and asked for the refund but the server insisted I ordered coffee. For a kid, really? I wouldn't have minded if they just apologized for the mistake but they double downed on me ordering the coffee. How rude! At the end of it all, they gave me a cash refund but short by 38 cents (they gave me $7, but coffee was charged as $3.69 each, total should have been a $7.38 refund). I would be hesitant to return and deal with this kind of fiasco again. The unprofessionalism was a huge turn off and I would rather drive further to be met with more hospitality. It could have been an off day but I would still expect respect - not jump to concluding I lied about what I ordered. Overall, this location has a pretty decently sized space for medium to large parties and serves up some delicious food. Just don't expect consistent customer service since it doesn't seem to be a top priority here.

    Was served Moldy toast in my takeout order today.   Not sure how long ago it was cooked and kept before serving.

I wanted to treat her to brunch and chose this popular Americanized Thai brunch spot. I knew it had a good reputation in the neighborhood, and the packed dining room confirmed that it's a popular destination. We were seated immediately, which was a great start. To begin, we ordered the enoki mushrooms and calamari. The mushrooms weren't quite what I expected, and they had a flavor that reminded me of oil that may have also been used to fry seafood. The calamari was decent but could have benefited from more seasoning. For my entrée, I ordered the Fried Chicken Benedict. Unfortunately, it was the weakest part of the meal. The fried chicken was very underseasoned and lacked flavor. When I cut into the poached eggs, excess water ran onto the plate, which diluted the hollandaise sauce and left the dish tasting a bit watered down. That said, not everything was a miss. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Most importantly, my sister really enjoyed her meal and said she would definitely come back. While my food didn't fully meet expectations, the strong service, pleasant vibe, and my sister's positive experience were enough for me to give this place another chance. I'd be interested in returning to try their lunch or dinner menu before making a final judgment. Overall, the food was hit-or-miss for me, but the service and atmosphere left a positive impression and make me willing to come back and explore more of the menu.
