I know what to expect from Denny's. Well, at least I used to. I miss the days when you could go in there and leave feeling full. I just got my to go order and it reminded me of a kid's meal. I was looking for my toy because the portions were so small. And it's not like the prices have gone down. Portions vs inflation do not add up. I'll be going to our local restaurants from now on. read more

See all

It's Denny's you know what you're going there for what are you doing reading this. There are nice people here and it was clean!

Denny's is pretty consistent on the food they serve and how they prepare it. Service is usually good. Their prices on their main menu are about the same as every other restaurant. I'm a breakfast customer so my criticism is in that area. The bacon Denny's uses is poor and always has been. I've asked many a server why a national chain like Denny's would use such tiny pieces of bacon and no one knows. If you want a ham and egg breakfast it's not on the menu. You have to ask the server to out one together for you and the price will vary from server to server. The link sausage tastes good but is usually room temp. If you want it served warm you have to request it be well done. If you like pancakes and eggs with two pieces of their bacon the Everyday Value Menu has the best price in town for that pancake combo. The other items on the regular menu are decent but pricey. The atmosphere is good. The coffee is very good. read more

It was clean and our server was friendly and on it. he kept the coffee cup full and he did a great job. Food was good.

Food is good. No complaints there at all. Server was either distracted or did not really care. No eye contact, dropped our food off at our table and walked off. No knife, no napkins. Had to actually get up to find her for said items because she never came back to check on us. Brought our check, no eye contact. No thanks for stopping by just walked off. I started questioning if we just weren't the kind of people she did not want to talk to because I definitely know it was not because they were busy. No one was there but us. I recommend a little curtesy/hospitality training. read more

Denny's - Empty Denny's - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

Driving thru the canal every restaurant was closed. Thus, our brunch stop was at this restaurant. The servers were good, distance was maintained and food was prepared in the Denny's fashion. Prices have really escalated due to the Coronavirus but we expect that. Waiters all had masks. The only exception to this was the cook and he was visible to the diners. His mask covered his mouth only. read more

Another great experience at the Shelton Denny's! Our server Amy was very friendly, efficient and professional. Every item we ordered was perfect. The huge Bourbon Bacon Burger was juicy and fabulous. The onion rings perfect. And the Green Smoothie was sweet and refreshing and the Strawberry Pancake Puppies were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. In short, the Shelton Denny's has amazing chefs and wonderful servers. read more

Its Denny's, but its Shelton Denny's, so you have start with a lower bar. 15 minutes to get seated in an empty restaurant. Ordered food, got food, not exactly as ordered. No salt/pepper. No napkins. I asked for over medium eggs, I got one hard cooked, one over easy and half of what should have been the 3rd egg. Bacon was a shadow of bacon, and sausage was apparently the Vienna style. If I claimed I'd never eat at Denny's, this backs up that claim. read more

Denny's - The bacon is like 1 strip, cut into 2. - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

I always order the Strawberry Crepes. You can order the meal, but it's just too much food for me. And I always ask for extra whipped cream. Hey--if you're gonna load up on carbs, this is the way to do it! read more

I had the best burger and fries! I've been here a few times and never had good food here. Maybe they got a new cook? Yummy! read more

Denny's - Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

I went on a late night search for some good food after just getting home from work (swing shift) and went to dennys about half an hour before closing. I usually don't go places so close to their closing time but nothing else seemed good at the time. When I went in I decided to do a take out order so I'd be out of their hair and they were so friendly. They didn't mind that I came in so late and the food was delicious. I left a fat tip for them as well! I would definitely come again! read more

My family and I had the worst experience today. The place was packed and under staffed. We waited forever to even be acknowledged and ended up seating ourselves, only because my grandmother has diabetes and needed to eat. When I asked for the manager he was NOT in the floor helping the staff but hiding in his office. When he spoke to me he was EXTREMELY rude and basically told me I just needed to deal with it. I will never return to this location. The only redeeming quality was our server who was an angel, probably to make up for her rude boss. read more

Went in yesterday for lunch and the food was good but the service was probably the worst I've ever seen here in Shelton. The waitress definitely needs a different job. read more

I walked in at 7:40 PM. Hostess told me that they were not seating anybody because of too many pickup orders to deal with. I was solo, over half the tables were empty. I said I'd wait, then she told me that she was told to NOT seat anybody. Customer service is a zero. Shelton Denny's read more

Best endless pancakes ever!!! Comfy booths, tasty hot coffee with a variety of creamers! Hey honor AARP cards also! It's a win win!! read more

Every time I went here last year it was amazing! I went last night and service was terrible along with the food. We got our hashbrowns "smothered" in gravy. Smothered means a teaspoon. My husband asked for hard boiled eggs. They came out 20 minutes after we got the rest of our food oh and apparently you have to peel the shell off yourself lol. The insides weren't cooked fully, it was still watery. We did get a percentage taken off the bill though so good customer service there. Just need to get the cooks in line read more

Denny's - Our hard boiled eggs with the shell on it not cooked - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

Every time me and my boyfriend come here, the food and service is always good. Last night we went in at about 11pm to get some late dinner, and they told us they didn't have a cook, but could serve us salad or ice cream??? The diner was empty all but a few people and some servers, but I guess they didn't have anyone to cook. Kinda weird when they're open 24 hours. I wonder what happened. Either way love this place, and I do recommend. read more

Denny's - Spicy sizzling skillet - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

The reviews don't look good but we had an amazing experience. The waitress was on it. The food was amazing. It took a few mintues longer than expected, she brought out the kids food while we waited. Our food was amazing I got a smoked gouda burger and my oldest son got a burger with hash browns on it. They took some off the bill because it took a while. They were training a new cook. We will be back! read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Shelton, Washington

staffs ego was in the way of their performance. The shift lead (i think) was disrespectful towards her waitresses and her cooks. Degrading all of them in front of a house decently full of guests. Due to poor leadership most of our orders were wrong. There was one waitress, i didn't catch her name but she has a cheek piercing. She was the nicest and made sure we are taken care of. This dennys has many problems with staff and it was made clear in the first 15 minutes read more

It is a Denny's. But when I come to Shelton, WA a few times a year, I have no problem patronizing this diner. At the Wallace- Kneeland exit I arrive late to the Super8, and leave early for my business around the area. Denny's is open 24-7, generally has good service and serves excellent breakfast Slams. At the last visit at 6am the waiter was totally accommodating to our party of three. read more

The service at our Dennys (in Shelton is cheerful and always helpful. The manager keeps a steady eye on things. The staff here are cordial but don't waste time. On occasion, our manager has had to step in, to deflect an argument, or satisfy a customer. We eat there at least three times a week. read more

.BEWARE!!! We ate at the Denny's in Shelton WA. WE had a disposable menu...no prices on it. When I asked, it was because that is how they were received from management. Waitress offered to go look at 'cheat sheet'. I am on fixed income and order accordingly. Not wanting her to run all over, I picked what I assumed was an inexpensive item... Ham and cheese omelet and a coffee. My companion ordered a grilled breakfast sandwich. She ate two bites. It looked like a piece of toast with melted butter. She could only taste the greasy mess on the bread. What kind of cheese has no flavor? Both of our orders had cheese, no taste of it at all. For starters, when has a cup of coffee been $2.99??? $16.00 for a simple omelet? OMG! I complained while paying, blamed on management. How hard would it be to put the price in with a pencil and run more copies! I feel totally scammed. OVER $20.00 FOR A MINIMAL ORDER OF A SIMPLE OMELET/coffee. NEVER AGAIN DENNY'S! Beware customers....this is a bad experience. read more

We have lived in Shelton 4 years now and the first visit was bad experience. But I thought let's give it another try since it's been so long. My son, husband and I ordered simple two coffees and an apple juice and three grand slams two with pancakes one French toast. Long story short there was a surprisingly large portion of uncooked batter in the center of both my husbands pancakes. They were inedible. When I took a big gulp of coffee there was yellow and brown food stuck to the inside of my cup. Eww I know, too late, I already swallowed the coffee. My sons apple juice came to in a glass with we don't know what around the rim. The wait was 40 minutes plus an additional 20 for the pancakes. It was really cold inside I was shivering while I ate my cold bacon and sausage. My eggs were good but they weren't even warm. My pancakes were warm when they came out and my sons French toast was just regular bread with powdered sugar on top. Yeah they did take the price of a meal off the bill but the time and unpleasantness isn't worth repeating. We will get exactly what we want in a breakfast platter at McDonalds and have a better experience for the same price but with warm and tastier food. At least at McDonald's we will get a hash brown and biscuits with our pancakes and eggs. read more

Service looked great for the two tables on either side of me - the waitress checked up on them, refilled water, one table even got served before me even though I got there before they did. They looked like they had wonderful service! But even though I was between those two tables, I didn't get that stellar service I saw others get. My water was never refilled since it was empty before I got my food (the server even walked by my table to refill the table next to me!). I was never checked up on. I never got a check even though the table who got there after I did received a check. I paid and then asked if the table who got there after me was served before me. The waitress said "I'm pretty sure he was the last person I served". It was a simple question and what I got was a very simple lie. So I asked for a manager. I told the manager everything and she did not seem like she cared. She unapologetically said I'll talk to her by the end of her shift about it and make sure she checks on all of her tables". Then she oddly asks me, "did you pay with cash or a card?" I said card and still don't know why she asked me that. Very weird ending with the manager. Neglectful service and management who doesn't seem to care. I've seen a skeleton crew of 3 give 10x better service and care more about their many more customers than this location did with fewer tables yet multiple people in the kitchen and at least two on the floor. read more

Amazing fast service we always try to go while the male waiter is there he's very kind and helpful but all the staff is awesome (: Yummy shakes too! read more

I'm not a big fan of Denny's anymore, they have seriously gone downhill. The first time we ate here, it was a prom night or something so they were a little busy. Part of our order was left in the fryer too long, then sat under the warmers for almost our entire meal time, it took that long for our server to come check on us. The second time, I thought they were closed, there were NO cars in the parking lot. We had good service, but the food isn't that great. My crepe tasted like bacon (not necessarily bad) but it was super greasy. I'm just not a fan anymore. read more

Eggs were cold the potion size of the biscuits and gravy were what I thought was on the child's menu. the parking lot was packed they didn't have items that were on the menu read more

It is what it is, really. No, Denny's is not a top of the line steakhouse where you're going to be fed incredible food in an incredible environment. It is, however, one of the only late-night places to eat in Shelton, and has okay food for what it is, and great waitstaff. read more

A wonderful, very leisurely Dennys Sunday "brunch" with two super slams, COOKED perfectly. Great service and super coffee to top off the greatness, eggs over medium, pancakes, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon. You feel like a 20 % tip with all that good service ! Nice clean restaurant, fresh looking. read more

Good for a quick breakfast while we were camping... Standard Denny's fare. But the customer service really sets this place apart from most Denny's I've been too. I do have to say that the building maintenance needs a bit more effort put into it. Carpet was stained pretty badly and the ceiling is or has been leaking as a lot of the ceiling tile was stained also, but I've been in worse so it is good enough I guess. read more

Worst experience I have EVER had. Literally 2 people working. Full restaurant and now been waiting for over 40 minutes for 3 meals. This is beyond unacceptable... No one has checked on tables or refilled drinks. They just keep seating people and there is literally nobody working .... read more

The only place (that I know of) in the Walmart section of town with WiFi that works. Be sure to be seated in the main dining area in order to use the WiFi though. It's Denny's, so the menu offerings are consistent with other restaurants in the chain. The wait staff are very nice. read more

Horrible food, sausage was cold. Horrible service. Waited over ten minutes to be approached while in booth and there were two other tables with people. Business was slow. Took forever to bring coffee, forgot creamer. Charged 19.00 for two eggs, four link sausage, hash browns, coffee and milk, outragous! Will never go back and you shouldn't either. read more

Denny's has stepped up is game over the years! The food is decent, the coffee is great and the customer service has been super stellar the last few times. All the wait staff have been genuinely happy during their shifts. One person clocked in just as I was leaving and the busted out with the good morning song from Singin' in the Rain. They are adorable. I've been to several Denny's across Western Washington and they're all like this. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid y'all, it's great to see happy people! read more

Yep, it's Denny's! If you've ever been to one, you know what to expect. The good news about this Denny's in Shelton is the hours. It's the only place in town open after everything else is closed. Nothing great, nothing bad. Most of the time the service is good. read more

The server looked at us multiple times and never cameover to takeour order. After over 15 minutes of waiting we went and talked to the manager. The server was sent over immediately. Then the server neverrefilled our drinks, or even offered. The food was fast and right. Everything tasted good. The service sucked. read more

Great place to get a great meal I really enjoy dinning with my grandma there. It is one of her favorite restaurants in town. Good atmosphere for dinner with family and friends or just a business lunch. Very friendly employees and fast and curteous service read more

Not sure if it's my race, citizenship or if I only got waters for drinks but me and my brother waited 15 mins and did not get service. This was a half empty restaurant. read more

My friend and I started going here a couple pears ago later at night for coffee. The service was good and we were taken care of. However over time service has gotten worse. The employees there are great, but they don't have enough staff to take care of everyone. I used to enjoy the steak, zucchini cheddar potatoes and garlic toast. However the last two visits the potatoes were cold, the zucchini was under cooked. I had said I was never going back. This is the only place in Shelton for coffee at night, so after a couple months I gave it a try last night. We got one cup of coffee, then waited and waited. So we left and made the choice again not to go back. Hire a couple more people, to take care of your guests. read more
