Must come out and experience Dennys in Rolla Missour. Denny's restaurant is so underrated. Every time I come here, I usually get breakfast or brunch and every time I have been more than satisfied with the service and the food. The service is very welcoming. and very clean in dining area as well as the restrooms. Today is the first time I came into this restaurant and there was more than two or three other tables with patrons dining. The cook has always made my food come out to my liking, never had any issues with overcooked or undercooked food. This has been by far the best Denny's I have ever visited.The food is phenomenal. exceedingly better than IHOP in Rolla. IHOP is overrated. The food is usually overcooked dry or cold. It is usually busy and chaotic , and the cleanliness is something left to be desired and the food is really not worth the cost. Basically I feel like I paid for the name of just eating. at IHOP. I am so surprised that this Denny's is not overrun by the public. It's definitely a hidden gem. Must come out and dine here. read more

Passing by and looked for a place that my picky eater would love. I flinched coming in, because the lobby reeked like cigarette smoke, but luckily the dining room looked and smelled clean. Cute light fixtures over the tables, and all of the diffusers in the ceiling were spotless. The bathroom did look a little bit shabby and dated compared to the dining room, and bad tile and grout work made weird puddles instead of letting mop water drain properly. But everything in there was clean (and smelled good), so no shame on the staff. Host and server were super friendly. Our server checked in just the right amount. I got the super bird and my son got pancakes with butter (he's not into syrup). I hadn't had a super bird since college. It was pretty good. Crispy grilled bread, turkey, tomato, cheese, whatever else. The tomato slices looked like they came from a good fruit, not mushy. In the fruit bowl (99¢ upcharge from the fries), the bananas were perfectly ripe, and so were the grapes. The cantaloupe and strawberries were a little underripe, but I just sprinkled them with a packet of Splenda and let them sit while I ate my sandwich and it worked out great. It's Denny's. Like $18 for our meal, plus tip. I'd come back. You know what you're getting here. read more

They never open on time in the morning. They are supposed to open at 6:00 A.M. I've gone there on several occasions after 6:00 and they still aren't open! I see people coming off the interstate sitting in the parking lot only to finally leave. We have to go up the road to the Waffle House instead. I've told the waitress and the manager and nothing has changed. Their food is good though. read more

Walked in, the host seemed pretty rude. We waited about 20-25 minutes for our food, no biggy. Sent mine back because I thought with the bourbon chicken they would put the rice on the side. I told them no veggies which they did & potato's are okay. Sent back my order because they put the brown rice on the skillet, SOAKED in the bourbon sauce (I'm not a saucy person) and no potato's. They remade it. Which all they did was scrape the rice on the skillet and probably threw it away. Put rice in the side and added the potato's to the skillet. It was fine by me, gotta do what you gotta do. When I ate one chicken, the last bite. I spit it out. I couldn't take it. It just had a weird flavor too it & usually I would eat this meal up at other locations but this certain location.. it was terribly made. Spent about 5 minutes in the restroom just gagging and puking. The sweet tea is not that sweet either. We asked to speak with the manager. Friendly dude, didn't have any words to say but "okay" after we asked for it to be removed from our check. read more

Placed an order online today 6-6-25 to be picked up at noon. I was early so it wasn't ready and that was understandable. When I had gone inside to pick it up, the hostess grabbed a menu and when I explained I was picking up an order, she walked away and didn't say anything to anyone. A few moments later, I found another employee and asked him about my order. He told me 3 minutes. Food arrived and when I got back with it, it's wrong. The only thing correct is the pancakes. I wanted my eggs over easy, they made them hard, I wanted bacon, they gave me sausage. I requested that utensils and napkins be placed with the order, I had no utensils or napkins. I tried to call about it being wrong and the lady I spoke to kept asking about door dash. I explained it wasn't a door dash item but I placed it online. She kept insisting that it was a door dash order but she couldn't find it. I couldn't not make her understand that it wasn't a door dash item. This isn't the first time they have messed up my order but it will be the last read more

Ahh, Denny's! A little slice of home while I visit Missouri! I was very excited, because the featured menu item was Eggs Benedict. I was excited to see that on the menu. Alas, we weren't able to order because it's only served in the morning. We strolled in at 3 pm. Needless to say, there was no eggs with Benedict for us. Instead, I ordered an omlette -- ham and swiss with pico de gallo. What I got was ok, but I was expecting something different. The pico de gallo was some diced tomato and some onion thrown in the omlette. There wasn't any of the other stuff that makes what I think is a good Pico. I took away a star for that reason. On a more positive note, my coffee cup was never empty, and the waiter was very on point. As a girl from Seattle, I was happy to find a Denny's so far from home. Thanks for being so groovy, Denny's. read more

It's a Denny's, what else is there to say? A bit disorganized and chaotic but fine, affordable with good food. If you are here for breakfast (I've been twice) I recommend the chorizo, as it's actually pretty good. No real problems with this Denny's, would recommend for breakfast. read more

Terrible service, Carla was our server saw her once and she complained about taking our table, food was cold will not be back.

Food was good and fast, server was friendly and efficient, but the restrooms were NASTY!!!

Great place to eat. We stopped here after shopping. We where starving. So went straight to the buffet. Everything was hot and ready ..Great little salad bar and dessert bar!! read more

we got food from here a month or so ago the burgers were dry and greasy we got it delivered so I don't know if the staff were nice but the food was disgusting never going back here again. read more

Best omelette ever with bacon cheddar mushroom and grilled onions. Also check out their steaks. Have had the T bone and the bourbon sirloin. Really reasonable prices and the have 15% AARP discount. Pretty busy on Sunday mornings so another day is better. Staff is always great! read more

Ordered turkey dinner all out ,, ordered chicken fried steak they were out of that , I ordered the Lasagna they had that , poorly run

The bathrooms are fithy. The food is never as you order it. The service is horrid. The environment is hectic.

Used to go on Sundays after Church. Went for the last time a few weeks ago. If paying $25. for 2 people to get stale toast with butter??? only on a corner and bacon that looks like they scraped up what was crumbled on the grill is what they do now----No Thank You! read more

I'll start off is this is a Denny's so my expectations were not too high to begin with. This one however failed to meet even those expectations. The waitstaff was the only high point as they were attentive but overwhelmed by the number of people the two waitresses were trying serve. Now for the low lights. The place itself was dingy dirty that hadn't had a face lift in years. The glasses and dishes had visible chips and still being used to serve customers. Then there was the food. Mostly over cooked with portions either minscule or ginormous. However since it didn't taste good it didn't matter. I had blueberry pancakes the were the consistency of a rubber band and the blueberries tasted like they had been pulled from the freezer, microwaved the mixed in to the batter. Very untasty. It came with a side of bacon that was suppose to be two slices. The bacon was over cooked and shriveled up so the two pieces barely looked line one. The over easy eggs were cooked well but flavorless. The hash browns were basic and unseasoned. Overall if you are traveling down 44 and looking for breakfast....don't stop here. read more

Food was so gross I could only stomach a few bites to barely eat it, eggs were fake. Could taste other food on the meat as if the grill hadn't been cleaned in days. Almost threw up trying to eat omelette and eggs Benedict. Told waitress eggs Benedict tasted funny/weird and she did nothing but take plate away. service was slow. read more

My meal was excellent I had chicken strips with frys ,loved it. The employees are great our waitress checked up on us, was very kind they got great choices of food. The place very good family atmosphere, great place to eat read more

First of all kudos to our server, Jessica. She is the queen of multitasking. She literally was the only server at the time and was seating people, taking orders, payments and running food. Where was everyone else? Who knows. Food came out fast and coffee was continuously refilled. The bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. I built my own Grand Slam and my only complaint is the bacon was super lame. It was paper thin and my husband got one and his second "piece" was literally an inch long. It's almost like the cook ran out of bacon at the last minute. Overall not a bad location for breakfast. read more

Highly do not recommend this place! We made a reservation for 8 people at 11:30am and left at 1:30pm due to crappy service. The server was quick to take our drink orders, but actually brought them out about 15 minutes later. We ordered our food that took about 45 mins to get out, but only brought half of the table their orders. The rest of us were sitting and watching them eat for another 20 mins until the server finally brought out the other half of the food. I got biscuits and gravy..... the biscuits were so inedible and so hard that I couldn't even cut into them. If you think about coming to this place, please reconsider. Very disappointed. read more

This restaurant really stands out Best food in Rolla Missouri Great people and very affordable for all Convenient and easy access Open read more

As Denny's go, this one is pretty good. Driving half way across the country limits evening choices, but this standby stays open 24/7. The new theme "America's Diner" comes with new pancakes, now made with real eggs. What did they use before? Surely they could have found a less obvious way to announce using real ingredients. The standard decor has not changed in forty years, and, of course, the noise in the prep area and chatter on the kitchen is pretty cute and rather disturbing at the same time. I think they are trying to make my late night breakfast. This may take longer than it should. My water glass arrived with a small crack in the rim, so I got a new one accompanied by numerous apologies. I was asked three times how I am doing. Its 10 oclock, I just drove all day, and I probably look like I have been raked over the coals. I said "fine." I guess I missed an opportunity to unload. Now I was just asked if i enjoyed my meal, which has yet to arrive. I have written this much review and the meal (longest cooking item, as prepared at Denny's) is about five minutes). They had time to make fresh bacon and fresh sausage. The eggs came out at medium well when I asked for over easy, I am sure thos was primarily a result of time under the heat lamp. The fluffy pancakes had developed a strange, tough crust. They remain fluffy in the middle, a yet to be explain phenomenon. Under any other circumstances, this meal would have gone back. Truthfully, the manager person who brought it out should not have done so. She should have directed the line cook to remake the order. But I am tired and need to walk back to the motel. Maybe this was the plan. Screw with the "one of" customers? Thanks, Yelp. Why does this place have four stars? I can only surmise that things must be really bad in Rolla. The longer I sit here, the longer my review gets. And I still get to pay! Eat well, tip well. read more

We showed up at 8 AM with our party of 7 people and they quickly slid 3 tables together and brought us menus. We were still waiting for our Son and His Girlfriend -- so we all ordered beverages. Iced Tea, Hot Tea, Coffee, Lemonade Iced Tea. Then our Son arrived and they got a Soda and a glass of Milk. We needed a few minutes to decide -- so "Sarah' came back in about 10 minutes. I was tempted to order one of their salads, but then spotted their "Build Your Own Grand Slam' -- where you can select 4 items of your choosing. No two people ordered the same thing -- and she got everyone's order correct. Our Son didn't like what he selected, but that was his fault for choosing something unusual -- he didn't eat most of it. I am not a Breakfast person, both my Husband and I detest eggs! So I got a bowl of their Seasonal Fruit, Hash browns, an English Muffin, and Grilled Ham. My Husband got Pancakes and 3 orders of Bacon. Our Daughter got Banana Pecan Pancakes and Turkey Bacon. Our Son-In-Law got Banana Nut French Toast with Hash Browns. Our Son got some kind of Hash with a Brat (which he disliked). Hus Girlfriend got a Belgian Waffle Slam. Me Husband's Ex got the "All American Grand Slam'. I was impressed with the speed with which our order arrived. Sarah and two other Servers brought our orders and she remembered who ordered what. We gave her a 20 % Tip. My only complaint was that the Iced Tea was stronger than I like -- but that's a personal opinion. What I thought was nice was the Coffee Drinkers were offered 3 different types of coffee. Hubby usually drinks an entire pot before work -- so he ordered the BOLD blend. He needed the caffeine!! This was such a pleasant experience that the next time suggests that we go to Breakfast, I am going to suggest trying the Denny's in Wichita, KS!! read more

Much needs to be said about Denny's. When they reopened a few years ago I wasn't happy with what they had to offer. I use to work a Denny's in Rolla when they were opened on Bishop. The service was horrible and it lacked everything. Aside from the hiccup of a restart the place is amazing. The super bird is my favorite. With a side of homemade ranch can't be beat. The cheesy broccoli soup is also truly amazing. Build your own grand slam is well worth the money. The lumberjack special is the way to go if your really hungry. Don't let negative people be the down fall of this place judge for yourself and carry on read more

Was wonderful food and the waitress holy was great and the manager Joyce was great Couldn't ask for better read more

We arrived around 8:45 pm. We stood in front of the "please wait for hostess to seat you" podium. As we stood there for about 5 minutes, I could see the cook trying to tell the hostess we were there. There were only a few other people in there. I ordered the 55+ country fried steak and my step mother ordered the bourbon chicken dinner. I had the Caesar salad with my dinner, but the lettuce was obviously old and there was so much dressing, I couldn't eat it. The bourbon chicken platter was soooo sweet that it was hard to eat. Had to mix in the side of rice to try and cut it down. Overall, the quality of food isn't that great, but the service from our table server Alicia was excellent! read more

It's a fuckin' Denny's. You know how awesome it is~! Just go there. Sober, drunk, high, it doesn't matter~ You're always welcome there!! read more

We used to love going to Denny's in Rolla for breakfast. The last time we were there was just sad. The decor is dated and rundown. We were greeted promptly and drinks arrived in a timely manner. There were only a handful of diners but it was so loud in there we found it hard to sit and enjoy ourselves. When the food came we were even more disappointed. The bacon and sausage tasted like they had been regraded instead of cooked fresh. Eggs were not as ordered. It was just all wrong. Sorry Denny's you lost us to IHOP read more

Best Dennys I've ever been to. I had the Pot Roast and it was delicious! The staff was very nice and my server, Brandy, was attentive. The place was spotless too. I will definitely dine here again the next time I'm in Rolla. read more

Stopped in as we were staying the night at the hotel next door. This Denny's was great. The waitress, Holly, was friendly and gave excellent service. The food was delicious. My dad usually is not impressed with the chicken in salads, (he had the Cranberry Apple Chicken Salad), and he said this was the first time the chicken was perfect. I had the broccoli cheddar soup. It was served with garlic bread. I definitely recommend it. My mom had the senior country-fried steak and said it was very good. When we come back through here we will be stopping by again. read more

You never really plan to go to Denny's, you just end up there. Everything is just dirty but the expectations are low anyway.

The air conditioning was not working. Large fans were placed around dining room. The service was painfully slow. There were numerous flies attacking our food and us during the entire meal. I finally got up and found our waiter and said: Get me out of here. When I complained, he said he understood, but manager was out of town. I suggested they hire someone to kill the flies. If you love Denny's, don't go to the one in Rolla, Missouri read more

I was really hungry on a road trip home , popped in for some biscuits and gravy and ordered online. Certainly their online system needs a little work but that's not the fault of this restaurant. They quickly let me know they were out of biscuits and gravy and upgraded my pancakes. Supurb service even during COVID-19 thank you workers for showing up and continue working and setting that involves working with a multitude of strangers every day at a time when that is dangerous. read more

Tanya is an amazing waitress. We came in late on Thanksgiving. She was full of energy and pep and didn't treat us like she "had to be here." Our food was good like typical Denny's, but Tanya's above and beyond customer service made our Thanksgiving. She even spoke to our two year old by using her name. Way to go! read more

The service was questionable although friendly. Something was missed and it took 20 minutes to get the rest. No coffee refill offered. Food was very tasty though! read more

I'm pretty sure they hate us. Granted it was 2am, but we were not anything but loud and to serve us acted like they were being bothered from otherwise sitting around. Food was fine, don't care for their selection. Place was clean though. Took forever to pay. read more

See all

It must be the morning rush on a Sunday as they are packed. Hosted and waitress are polite and attentive. I ordered a skillet and it looks like only half of it showed up. They are usually filling the skillet and heaping. This one is flat and doesn't even touch three sides of the skillet. read more

Not only the best spot for breakfast but they do everything! Their steak is to die for, very welcoming and an at home environment. Definitely recommend!! read more

Don't eat here. It sucks, very bad service. If I could have gave half a star I would have.

This is our 3rd visit to our new Denny's. I feel I have enough experience now to make an honest, and informed review. First service, five star, Tony and Melissa ( aka Spoon) have been wonderful, professional, polite, on top of everything! We were seated with in seconds, and treated like VIPs! The restaurant is brand new so it is very clean and well done, the kitchen is open and I checked out the kitchen, it was clean, floors moped, no food on floor, as is common in most restaurant when it's really busy like when we have been here. The food, corporate menu, with seasonal menus based on the Hobbit, the sweet potato pancakes, are worth getting out in a snow storm for. The Smaug burger is kicking but not over the top hot. Very very good!!!!! Overall this new Denny's is 5/5...enjoy. Also, I never saw the bottom of my cup (thank you spoon). read more
