Worst service ever! Had to put our order in twice. Waited over and hour finally left. Even had yo ask for our drinks twice. I would give zero stars if it were possible. Not even an apology for losing our order the first time. After putting in second order 20 mins still went by. We left in disbelief. read more

Outstanding service and food. Very friendly staff. Our server, Abundio The best great sense of humor and made breakfast even better

Came from texas with the family where denny's is really good there. We stopped by this location it was FILTHY FILTHY FILTHY nobody helped us. Food was microwaved. Customer service Is trash. Guys don't ever come to this place. They didn't even make it right. This PLACE SHOULD CLOSE DOWN. read more

Very good food! Good service. Kitchen slow.. Not coming back... Other places to eat breakfast.. read more

Kitchen was slow and eggs came out raw and some food was way overcooked. Service wasn't the best but she was nice. Save your money and go some place else! read more

If you judge a restaurant by the quality of its restrooms...RUN!!! Really this is a typical Denny's - OK food and horrible service (nice people but wicked slow). read more

Perfect service, friendly staff, food was wonderful! i was having a rough day and today's stop at Denny's made it a bit brighter. Thanks again!! read more

My first review ever and sadly not a good one. Travelers beware of this place. Arrived and waited 5 minutes for a table(Started off pretty good). Waited one hour to get our food and it was served one plate at a time. Isn't the food supposed to be served together rather than one person at a time? My daughter asked for eggs sunny side up and got them almost raw. Coffee was served once and no one returned to offer more. We had to ask for spoons and forks. I will DEFINITELY never return to this location again. The worst Denny's experience ever. read more

The server jordan has a stupid haircut and told me i couldn't order my meal without eggs, didn't refill my coffee the whole time I was eating and took like 5 minutes to get me tabasco sauce. awful experience. I won't be coming back. Oh and my hash browns arrived soggy and tasted like shit. All the kitchen staff was gossiping very unprofessionally read more

This place has great service and food. My wife and I stayed near there for over a week and ate there everyday and got to meet a lot of the fantastic servers and the General Manager. They really try hard to make everyone feel special. read more

The service today was horrible. No host/hostess at the front, we have to sign in ourselves. There was about 30 people in line waiting with over 15 tables available. Food came out microwave warm. The Super Slam and All American Slam was a $6 difference and the only difference is 1 extra egg. I was brought A cup of coffee and nobody returned to refill it. Stood at the cashiers desk for 10min before someone came to let me pay for a bad experience. I will not be back to this Denny's. Luckily they are a nation wide chain because they would not make it as a small business. read more

How in the world is this place even in business we sat for 30 minutes before the lady even came back to check on us. Then she realized that we had no food. Then went and looked and it had not been punched in. Long story short. After an hour they had not even started our order. This has happened twice to me there and I decided to give them a second chance, we'll it dang sure won't happen a third time. read more

We ate here our first nite in Ruidoso. There were many dirty tables when we arrived and were many more when we left more than an hour later. None of the waiters would even carry a glass/plate from one on their way to the back. I ordered a cobb salad and my husband a caesar salad, both looked appetizing in appearance but had so much preservative on the lettuce that they were very unpleasant. There were four male wait staff, one of which seemed to be doing a good job with his tables. We waited to have our order taken, waited to receive dirty silver wrapped in a napkin and then had to ask the good waiter to get our check. Our waiter brought it by and said "Here you go". We probably would have eaten here again during our week here but no chance after this experience. read more

Sadly I have to say this location doesn't even deserve a 1 star :( came with a large group of 18 & we were denied service. Haven't ever experienced racism prior and it was sad to see. Another group of 6 arrived shortly after and they had the same experience. Apparently 4 cooks and 2 waitresses can't handle the work load. Unfortunately this is a major tourist area and they shouldn't be working somewhere we're they'll have to come in contact with non-whites. Disappointing experience, luckily many other locations willing to serve a large group of American born and raised Hispanics. read more

Don't waste your time... we waited 15 minutes to be seated although tables were open. We waited another 15 to be served. Food came out in a timely order but the food was cold and they were out of everything which they did not tell us until our food came out. No orange juice, chocolate milk, milk, ketchup, ham, pancakes were tough and ice cold. Restaurant was clean, only positive. read more

Now, I can't say definitively that my upset stomach was caused by my breakfast at Denny's, but it was the only meal I've had all day today. The servers were all very nice, but they did seem to be understaffed for the amount of people that were in there. read more

After reading the other reviews I guess we must have gotten lucky. Although the kitchen was short staffed the waitresses and host did an excellent job of warning about the wait times and not slamming the kitchen. Food was excellent and service was outstanding. read more

Wait list with 15 min wait. Several emptt tables (?!?). Sat for 10 min without service, finally got someone to wait on us. Although, he was polite, he messed up the order. The food was so so. Waffle was cold. This was not his fault. Strawberry pancakes looked unappetizing (soggy). If you could go some where else, do so. The staff all seemed very rushed and overwhelmed. All need more training read more

Worst service I have ever had in my life! And I used to work in a kitchen so I am a very understanding customer when it comes to small town diners like this one. Not only did we wait an hour for our food, which I would have tried to understand, but the waitresses were sooo soo sooo rude to the cooks that I was tempted to step up and say something for them. So I finally see our order get on the counter to be delivered, and two different waitresses just sat there and gossiped for 10 minutes while our food just sat up there and got cold. I finally just got up and said "I hate to be "that customer", but our food is sitting right there, can I have it before it gets even more cold". Once we finally got the food, it wasn't bad but they mixed up me and my husband sides and the burger was tough from sitting so long, along with soggy buns. Over all I wouldn't recommend this place to my worse enemy until they get better employees Update: currently have food poisoning from this place read more

it was terrible terrible terrible, DO NOT EAT HERE!!! the food wasn't fully cooked, and the service is just as bad! we even told the manager our food was cold and not cooked and he didn't say one word and we paid for the whole disgusting meal! IF YOU WANT GOOD FOOD DO NOT COME HERE, i would give ZERO stars if it would let me!! DO NOT EAT, you may get poisoned lol read more

Absolute Worst Denny's on the planet. Food is terrible, and the wait staff are incredibly slow. While in Ruidoso, go anywhere but here

Good breakfast that you normally expect from Denny's and our waitress "Christian" was very nice and did a good job. My only complaints are that we had to wait a few minutes to be seated when they weren't even busy and the bathroom was dirty. read more

This is a fantastic Denny's. Not only do they give the AARP and/or military [retired, or active duty] 10% off their total bill, they are very friendly, and the management team walks around checking on the quality of the food, and the service we're receiving. Stick with water, as most Denny's charge $1.50 for coffee or tea or sodas. However, their $2, $4, $6, and $8 [with drink for $8 menu items] is a super deal and they have a lot to choose from. Three adults ate there from the special menu for only $11.98 and we got the discount so it was $9.?? but amazing for lunch :) It's classic diner atmosphere is what many crave, more-so than the food, but everything at this fine eatery! This is a good Denny's location. read more

Denny's food is always decent, no difference with this one. But, service was horrible. No drink refills, some on the plates came out almost 20 mins after the first so half pf the party was done before the others got our food. read more

5 stars for the service and staff. We have gone here twice and we were treated so nicely. My six year old daughter loves it! I like there value menu, biscuit and sausage gravy with an egg for 2 bucks, awesome. We had the pancake puppies with cinnamon sugar, they were little fried balls of deliciousness. The atmosphere is old 50's diner, totally fun. Much nicer Denny's than where I live. Thanks Joseph and Jason for a wonderful experience. read more

Just want to say that the manager, Gwen Donahoo, doesn't know how to manage. There was a line of people waiting and one family by one, no matter the size, were told there's a 20-30 minute wait. Most did not want to wait. Our family of 5 and another family opted to wait around. Even though there were more empty tables than people she continued to run around with her head cut off with 2 waitresses serving the two parties of 11 and maybe 15. A couple came in asked about the wait, she gave them the same spill of "we're swamped", but quickly charged her mind and seated them (poor customer svc). The cook who was done cooking for the 26 patrons came and helped her. He cleaned the table, seated us, and took our drinks. Not his job, but that's team work. This was on a Monday. The food was not bad. If it wasn't for the poor management, this place would be average. read more

Great food, riendly service although it's very slow service. I will go back though next time I'm in town.

Worst service ever. Our waiter never acknowledged us. The woman who seated us finally took our order and only because I asked. It took 30 minutes to get our food, which wasn't that great. When we went to pay, they couldn't find it in the system even though someone had printed the check. The manager had to take care of it. He was frustrated it seemed and had no control over the chaotic service. read more

Stopped by for a late night meal, unfortunately, I chose the wrong restaurant. Avocado and bacon Burger was very dry with no flavor at all. Cheese on the burger seemed old and dry. The best part on the plate were the fries. Service was good. Won't be returning. read more

Nast food burnt pancake and toast order over medium eggs they were also burnt bacon half cooked staff not so classy.

This has got to be the worst experience ever. Service was awful. Food was cold and the ran out of white and rye bread. People who came in after us were getting there food and leaving before we got our food. The food was cold and disgusting. The manager did not take responsibly for anything. I told the people waiting outside to run, and they did. Awful experience. I would starve rather than go back. read more

The service was amazing! Our waitress was super cool, and the food was delicious! Best Denny's I've been to.

The attention was really nice, our waitress sophia attended so kind, the food took time but the hostess advice about that from the beginning, food quality was great, well served and well prepared. I strongly recommend this place. read more

Food was worth the wait, even if it were 45 minutes. Flies were an issue. Waiter was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this location for breakfast. read more

Loved there service Thursday night best steak ever was just perfect. All though weekend morning was terrible took to long to get are food. But are scrambled eggs we're dirty brown & dry. They had three cooks but manager had to step up to make all the bad food right. Thats a great manager to bad I didn't get his name!! read more

We were staying within walking distance of Dennys so we decided to have breakfast. There were three groups in front of us on the list to be seated. We waited for about ten minutes and were sat. On the way to our table we counted at least a dozen empty tables. Our table was sticky and the seat had food stuck to it. In looking under the table I could see trash and food. You can have the best service and great food, but when the place is dirty that's inexcusable. Oh and the little blonde with the long nails needs to get the nails taken off and maybe she can do her job right. You work in a restaurant and long nails like that is unsanitary. read more

Short staffed and unorganized. When we got there the waitress said that they were out of Coke, Dr Pepper and Sprite. Also no broccoli for any entrees. Finally got served three of six entrees after 45 minutes. After another 15 minutes waiting on the other three entrees, went and asked the "manager" what was taking so long and he follows me back to the table and says if there's a problem to leave! Actually touches me and calls the at home manager and the police to ask us to leave. I'll never go back to this Dennys again. Very poor organization at this one. read more

We ordered eggs over medium, after waiting 1 hour for our food they brought out eggs over hard. We had to explain to them how to cook over medium eggs. When we got them the second time they still were wrong but we had waited so long for our food we didn't want to send it back again. We did have a party of 11, so we expected that the wait be a bit longer, but as we sat there we saw 4 tables with at least 3-4 ppl at each table that came in after us get their food. My husband approached the manager and she said "well they are smaller tables" that makes no since that they did 12-16 other meals before our 11. To me that is extremely poor customer service. The manage never apologized for the wait, and never came by to check how our food was even though we had sent back a plate. She had an attitude of oh well just deal with it. I will say our server was very kind and was working hard. He was NOT the problem at all. The manager and cooks were the ones who caused the issues. I don't understand why you would have a cook at somewhere like Denny's that is known for breakfast, yet they can't cook a simple dish as eggs? read more

WORST PLACE TO EAT IN RUIDOSO. We had a 20 min wait for nothing. We counted 13 tables OPEN!! There was a line out the door and people writing down names for a 35 MINUTE WAIT. FOR OPEN TABLES. FCKING AWFUL. Didn't even get our drinks until 15 min after we sat down.! DONT EAT HERE. read more

the service is terrible. I went to Denny's just to have a nice lunch, but no that cant ever happen so we get there and it starts off nice until we order our food. So it was about 45 minuets later and we still haven't got our food and it was just for two people. So we paid for out drinks and left without eating. read more
