    55+ omelet

    Took me 7 years to visit. Located across from Duke Raleigh hospital this used to be an upscale area. Located next to a Days Inn the area is now more diverse. The place was jumping on Friday morning at 9:30. Families laughing, seniors eating, and friends hanging out. The heat was pumping, maybe a bit too much but it was 25 out. Food was fresh, piping hot and surprisingly tasty. They probably needed another server but the hostess kept the coffee flowing. Hard to complain like other reviews. This was an great breakfast choice. When comparing to i hop Dennys wins out.

    Service ain't bad, the waitress was really nice. I wish I could remember her name but she was friendly and stopped by often to make sure we were doing okay. Everyone else looked like they were dead but then again it was 11:30 pm soooo it's understandable. Food was good tho, didn't take too long to receive.

    I had a disturbing experience at this location today! Earlier this morning when I ordered and picked up my food the service was great, I even tipped the young lady at the counter. In addition, I went in later that day to bring my food in as one of the associates told me too when I called , while I was trying to eat. The first manager made it seem like "things just happen". Yes, I understand things happen but compensate your customer and have a compassionate attitude about it. Especially, one that is NOT being rude about the situation. I ordered a Cali Club sandwich with seasoned fries and a garden salad. While eating the sandwich, I unexpectedly bit into a piece of plastic that had somehow made its way into the food while being cooked. This was not only shocking and extremely unpleasant and disgusting , but it also posed a potential health risk. (This was the tag that the turkey meat obviously came in). The first manager lied and said she couldn't print me off a receipt so she went and got the GM, Christina.The managers had a MAJOR problem with me asking for a receipt. I patiently waited for the GM to come back out (approximately 10 minutes). Apparently, I was "doing the most ", was called "girllll", and was told "the girl should have printed me off one last night , I can't give you one." (in her words), by the manager Christina. Which resulted in me calling the police because she was adamant on not printing me one for my references, although she had already printed herself one. Thankfully, I had already gotten my refund, I just wanted a simple receipt because corporate needed the order number. This incident did not have to escalate at all. I've never had this happen to me in my LIFE. New managers are needed there! Both of them were extremely rude and unpleasant to handle business with. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of compassion and professionalism.

    We had not been to Dennys in years and I didn't care to come back. I got the moons over myhammy, which was fine and the hash browns were good! The pancakes are nothing special and the syrup was what I remembered disgusting! Everything was just ok. Our service was great, quick, and the diner was clean, they even had a tv showing sports. Very casual, if probably go back if with others and try non breakfast items.

    Dennys in the south is is way better than the PNW. Had burgers and really enjoyed them. Garden salad was fresh to. It was simple, but it was fresh. And the waitress Candace and hostess were very friendly and attentive .

    I decided to try the crepe combo which was good but a bit too much vanilla for me. I miss the Nutella days to be honest. Service was good my only complaint was that I didn't like how the server kept putting her rag on the back of our booth seat. I get we were the #28 so it sits by the walkway. But I found it a bit unsanitary to clean tables and to save from having to walk a ways, you place it on the back of someone's chair close or not it still was gross to see. I tried to let it pass but she placed it on the seat back at least 3 times before actually putting the dirty rag away.

    Hash Browns
    Roo F.

    I've heard a lot about Denny's from my friends. Denny's was described to be as a wonderful, mysterious, amazing breakfast diner, that has amazing hash browns. Once I was told this bit of information, I knew I had to try it myself and see what the horrah was about this place. Me and MJ headed to Denny's last night to try out this little breakfast place, and boy were we happy. First, the interior reminds me of a cute little diner. This makes the restaurant feel welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. Anyways, let's skip to the good part. I went ahead and ordered two chocolate chip pancakes, two sides of hash browns (add cheese obviously), and a side of bacon. These hash browns were S-tier. If you don't know what that means, basically I'm just saying they were hella good! I would go back just for the hash browns, because they truly out did themselves for these. The bacon was good and crispy. But not too crispy, which is definitely a good thing. All you crispy crispy bacon eaters, I don't trust you! Just kidding, have your bacon, your way. Finally, I also got two stacks of chocolate chip pancakes. They were very good. Some of the better pancakes I've had. MJ got an Oreo milkshake, which was also delectable. If a restaurant has cookies and cream, you already sold me. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. Not to mention, they have tempting crane games right when you walk into a restaurant. Not only can you have some of the best hash-browns of your life, but you may get lucky and get a prize. I enjoyed my experience tremendously.

    I think Denny's is always on the top of my list when it comes to breakfast restaurants not too busy and the service is usually good. I did intentionally come in wanting breakfast but ended up getting dinner which is nice for the last minute decisions lol. This was my first time trying there dinner and it was actually good came out fast and hot. I had some pancake bites as my appetizer which was really good overall not bad at all for Denny's.

I have been to Postino many times before, but this was my first time at the Raleigh location. While it's been 4 years since I've had Postino and the menu has changed a little, the bruschetta board is still a permanent fixture. We ordered a bruschetta board for an appetizer and I ordered the half panini & half salad for my entree. The bruschetta board is a must order because you can get 4 different kinds. The top tier choice is the salami pesto one. It's my absolute favorite. For my panini, I got the caprese one on ciabatta bread and the half of the mixed greens salad. The salad was delicious. This was a ton of food and felt very satisfying. I always love the vibe of Postino's, but this location was way too dark with only a small candle at the table. Service started off good and we were able to order our food without a problem. However, our server was done with his shift right after we ordered so we got a new server. Our new server had no idea we already ordered and was a little behind coming to our table for water refills. Despite that, we were in and out of the restaurant within 45 minutes. Postino is surrounded by other shops and restaurants, so they had a ton of parking available outside the restaurant. Highly recommend this place if you want good food!

Food: I was in a caviar mood. Hubby was in lobster roll mood. Well- they had both and they had both of those in one plate. We tried the classic caviar with house made potato chips and crème fraiche. Classic yet so delish- the house made chips were amazing. Delicate. Crème fraiche was just perfect. We ordered lobster roll which was the best I've had. But what was out of the world- dish was mini lobster roll and crab roll with caviar. I felt that this was the super star of what we ordered today - absolutely amazing. Note: it's not the same with the regular lobster or crab roll/ prepared different. (Mini: crème fraiche vs butter). We also tried the lamb and it was exceptional. Truffle fries were delicious. We loved everything we ordered. Service: shout out to Crystal who had a million dollar smile, enthusiastic to make the experience memorable. Recommendations from her was on point.

We came in today with reasonable expectations after finding the restaurant online and seeing mostly positive reviews. We ordered several items to share as a family: broccoli cheddar soup, a French dip sandwich with green beans, and poutine fries. Unfortunately, the broccoli cheddar soup was very bland and lacked seasoning. We had a few bites and ended up leaving the rest. The French dip was the standout of the meal. While the meat itself was a bit dry, dipping it in the au jus made it the most enjoyable and edible item we ordered. The poutine fries were disappointing. They were very basic and didn't resemble what I would expect from poutine--more like prepackaged frozen fries that had been deep-fried. We didn't finish them and left most behind, though we still paid for them. Our child wouldn't eat any of the food, so we ordered the fried ravioli appetizer, hoping it would be similar to versions we've had elsewhere. Sadly, that was another letdown. Although we were told there was no breading, the texture suggested otherwise. This was the one item we did send back. I wouldn't recommend this location for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities, as much of the food appears to be made from frozen or prepackaged items. That said, our server was absolutely wonderful--the highlight of the visit. She was kind, attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Her sweet demeanor and constant smile were honestly the reason we didn't complain more at the time. While I wouldn't return for the food, I might consider stopping by again strictly for drinks during a sporting event. Otherwise, this just wasn't the dining experience we were hoping for.
