My husband and I went to our local Denny's for dinner around 6:30pm last evening. We have frequented this restaurant many times. Even when the main highway was under construction and it was particularly challenging, we continued to go there to show our support and help keep the business afloat. ~ Not many diners this Sunday evening. ~Two servers...one took our beverage order, the other took our meal order. ~ First server...We asked her how she was and she replied "toasty." Why, we asked..."We ain't got any air conditioning. Had to rent a fan" and she pointed to its' location. ~First server...Returns with our iced tea and coffee. Assures us that our server will be with us to take our order. ~Second server...Takes our order. Simple. We both ordered the same thing from the 55+ menu and two selected sides. We didn't ask for anything special. ~Second server returns indicating that one of the 'sides' is not available. We make another selection. At this point, my husband informs server that the coffee is "luke warm" and server offers a choice, another cup or she will make a new pot. We opt for a new pot. (Why would he want a cup from the same pot the luke warm coffee came from??) The meal arrives. We ordered the Wild Alaskan Salmon. There is neither lemon nor tartar sauce accompanying the meal. We ask for lemon. We dig in...my wild rice is dry, my salmon is unevenly cooked, raw in places and the corn (our substitute because there was no zucchini) was shaved right off the cob...anemic looking but it was actually the best part of my meal. Even the garlic bread was a dud...not toasted and doughy. To top it off, we were innudated with flies throughout our meal. Because the side/emergency exit door was ajar, the flies were coming in at a rapid rate. Perhaps it was the heavy metal music booming through the establishment that attracted them! What should have been a pleasant experience, was a terrible disappointment. So unlike this Denny's. I wondered if they had changed ownership/management/staff...something changed. In the past, we could always count on this Denny's for a warm welcome, a good meal and great service. When we went to pay our check, the server (#2) didn't even ask us: "How was everything? How was your meal?" Either she knew it was lousy or she just didn't care. Later that evening, my husband was feeling ill. I am certain it was the undercooked fish. Footnote: I tried to use the Denny's Listens site to review this experience, but it was not allowing me to do so. I noted that others had also attempted to use the site with the same results.

The food was not good. We got the Nachos and their new bacon ranch chicken sandwich. The nachos tasted like they poured spaghetti sauce over them, and the chicken sandwich had no bacon on it. I didn't complain because our server seemed like she was having a bad day and wouldn't care anyway. Bad experience for us. I will never go back. read more

This is the most disappointing food I have every tried to eat! The silverware was dirty, the iced tea had a musty taste. I asked if I could replace it with a Sprite and it tasted moldy. How does that even happen? I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. No joke but the gravy was thicker than the mashed potatoes! The only thing that was edible was the grilled garlic bread. I absolutely do NOT recommend this Denny's! The waitstaff were pleasant but the restaurant itself is very dirty. read more

Crystal is a great server! Food is always pretty good! They could do some cleaning and replace the ceiling tiles that are falling above the tables... GROSS! read more

Food was cold ,one waiter that I could see.Im usually a kicked back person and don't complain much but my suggestions is get atleast one other person on the floor. This was midnight the 24th of April. Again just a suggestion cuz dude was struggling and it needs a good cleaning sorry but how or why would people come back with a mess like that.?? read more

Crystal was a pleasure to deal with. The food was great as always. Service was great and the restaurant was clean.

The food was basic but at least the cook can cook eggs I had the eggs and bacon hash browns and coffee no complaints food was hot and good for a fast breakfast better then California at least I was able to drink the water here :) read more

This place is mine and my wife's jam! From the free birthday grand slam, to the everyday awesome breakfast value, Denny's is hard to beat. Been to this particular location at least 3-4 times and have only had pleasant experiences. Definitely check out the value slam if they are doing it. And try the gluten free english muffins- better than the original IMO. read more

Went to have breakfast on Sunday and everything was great. The restaurant looked a lot cleaner than the last time I was there, and I noticed that the GM was out on the floor helping not hiding in the back. Our server, Lisa was great all of our needs were met and she made sure the food came out nice and hot. Will definitely be back. read more

Pretty standard Denny's meal at this location. Tried the blueberry pancakes, but they were a bit overcooked. Luckily, the guy I was with did not eat his buttermilk pancakes and those were so much better. The bacon was a bit fatty, but the eggs and potato were average with the shredded potatoes maybe being a bit burnt as well. The coffee kept coming and things were average, which is about what you would expect. read more

Great food and exceptional service by two amazing servers. Came in today at this location for breakfast and got a lumberjack slam with banana pancakes they were so yummy.. the store was so clean and the food came out so quick.. thank you Dennys' for my excellent experience.. read more

We often go to Dennys at Oracle and River, it's part of our after church lunch rotation of restaurants. Although the service and food are consistently good, the wait time to be seated and the wait for the food after you order is NOT consistent. They are either short of servers or short in the kitchen. Sunday between 10 am and 1 pm must be one of the busier times, considering the after church crowd but this Dennys just cannot manage to be adequately staffed during this time. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Terrible terrible service. Took for ever to be seated and then never came to take our order but others were seated and ordered right away. So I decided to leave and not even give them my service. Rude rude rude don't even waste your time. read more

My mom and I stopped in for lunch the food was excellent our server Crystal was very good she made sure we were satisfied with our food and if we needed anything very nice and always smiling read more

I went to Denny's afternoon time. It wasn't busy at all. The servers were slow to serve me and there were six of us and they messed up on all six orders. My daughter had ordered chicken tenders and they came out burnt black and we had them sent back and we ordered them again and it came back black again. They were not complying they didn't care. The food was nasty and not care for, the service was horrible. All the workers looked out of their mind and we're Hella delusional. I would not recommend going to this location. read more

I went in to get my B-Day breakfast and my wife had a plate of Nachos. She had 2 bites and that was all she could stand as they tasted awful. The waitress asked if she wanted a to go box and she said no and informed her how awful they were. The waitress said she was sorry she didn't like them but no offer to get something else or remove from bill. When I checked out , she scanned QR for breakfast and I swiped a gift card when she realized my breakfast hadn't come off the bill. She called another waitress when she couldn't fix the error. When neither could fix it, the manager was called. After he struggled with it, he accused me of having already used the coupon but gave me a credit manually. This all occurred at a very slow time but I was delayed by at least 10 minutes to get checked out and treated rudely. This the Denny's closest to me, but I won't be back!! read more

Very very very very bad the service was doo doo, i waited 40 minutes to get my food and once they brought my food IT WASSSSS THE WRONG ORDER I WAS VERY MAD AND SADBUT I STILL ATE IT. I gave it a one out of five stars read more

Walked in, (didn't get greeted when the the Hostess/Server (Red curly haired heavy set woman) noticed me and just stood there, I had to walk up to her. was very rude and making faces. Ended up walking away without ordering anything. The whole short interaction was very displeasing. read more

I always order the 9 grain pancakes (only), usually cost $4.16, but these cost a little more and we're THE Worst I ever tasted. Had such a strange aftertaste, had to stop and toss. Thought the recipe was the same at all Denny's, but apparently not. One star was given because the cashier was very pleasant. Mgmt: please taste the 9 grain pancakes before serving them, and fix it! This was my first and last time at this Denny's. read more

Excellent customer service the other night however our cooked broccoli was cold yet again. The Alaskan Salmon meal was wonderful but not super hot. Especially the cold broccoli :( There's lots of menu choices to choose from however there's no need for cold food read more

This is probably my favorite Denny's location in Tucson. While the road to get there is under construction, it is a great place to go for a meal and the service is great. I visited his location with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Currently if you dine in Tuesdays or Saturdays after 4pm, kids eat free with an entree purchase. We came for a late lunch so we missed this deal but since it was displayed on a window, it will be easy to remember in the future. The kids ordered from the kids menu. My daughter ordered Dino chicken with a side salad and my son ordered spaghetti and a meatball (this is additional) and mashed potatoes and gravy as a side. Plenty of choices and the kids loved it. The hubby ordered a vegetarian omelet and I ordered the avocado chicken Cesar salad which comes with bacon slices. The food was the right temperature and was tasty. As an added plus, our waiter was friendly and attentive. If you are in the neighborhood and are thinking about casual dining, this place is for you. read more

Denny's - Avocado and chicken Cesar - American Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'll start by saying the food was above par for this relatively simple and sometimes underwhelming fare (e.g., price, atmosphere & service). If it wasn't for this , my rating would certainly have been a star lower and possibly even two. In explanation, while the young waitress was friendly enough, she was somewhat informal, which usually doesn't bother me, almost to the point of being less than professional. As I'm the only patron and she appears to be a dedicated waitress, getting her attention and, at times, even simply finding her can be difficult. The last issue that bothered me was the background music. There was the standard piped in music through the ceiling mounted speakers which was to my liking. Unfortunately, at a volume slightly higher than the piped music, I'm confronted by music coming from the kitchen. Although less to my liking, I could easily live with either "station" separately, but I found the mix unpleasant and somewhat annoying as it resulted in a cacophony of sound. And, unfortunately, the waitress disappointed yet again as she informed me there wasn't anything she could do, when I pointed out the distraction and requested that only one music source be broadcast at a time. In the end, however, were I to characterize her service as largely underwhelming, I'd likely be overstating things. Update: My waitress did come by to check on me. Again, pleasant enough. She even smiled in response to my concern as to whether "I'd been forgotten." The credit card bill just showed up -- of course, no pen! I'm tempted, but don't have the heart, to significantly short her tip. If times weren't so difficult, I'd seriously consider this option. Overall, but for the surprisingly tasty food, my experience was disappointing. They could do a much better job with just a little more effort. Unsure why the local IHOP isn't open 24 hours a day as advertised, I'll strongly consider taking the time to locate one that's open, even if further away. read more

came in today and Cindy was my server and we had excellent service and the coffee was hot and flowing she did a great job definitely we'll be back read more

The only good thing I got out of this business was the waitress. She had outstanding stamina and perseverance. The cooks were being incredibly rude and forgetting that they get paid to serve people. The waitress is and was not getting paid enough to deal with these cooks. The pancakes were good and I was a party of 17, everyone ended up getting food although nobody got all the food they ordered. Numerous other customers left after waiting forever to get food that they never received. We were there for about 3 hours. The waiters were kind and responsive to the problems and did the best they could do to serve the customers. Even when there was nothing to be served. That waitress deserves a round of applause for doing the absolute best she could in a tough situation. read more

Always a great location for breakfast. The service is what separates franchises & this location is at the very top by a long way. Our server David was outstanding. Friendly, prompt, efficient but by far was his enthusiasm. It was contagious & genuine. He truly enjoyed what he was doing and he is a very rare find. We were better for the experience & started our day off with excellence. read more

Went today with my husband and infant son .. we ordered burgers my burger arrived with 4 onion rings thanks then my husbands burger he ordered the slam burger but the waitress misunderstood him and brought out the avocado bacon burger so his burger was sent back.. then 10 mins later brings his burger out they had taken the bun reused it added egg and hash browns to the avocado burger.. my husband ate 1 bite and was so disgusted he just pushed his plate aside.. who does that? Why was it soo hard for them to REMAKE what he actually ordered!!! I wish we would have skipped Denny's and waited at another restaurant! read more

I took my daughters over here for breakfast two of us got burnt pancakes one of us only received one piece of bacon we had to wait for 15 minutes after our food was served for our pancakes not the best experience I would not recommend this Denny's read more

David is an amazing waiter. He was the epitome of an excellent server. He ensured our satisfaction including bringing straws, water, napkins and extra powdered sugar for one of the offspring. He wasn't annoying and paid attention I'm trying not to bother us mid-bite or while chewing. He definitely has the skills, attitude & metrics for us to return. read more

Inattentive staff was unwilling to lower a window shade when I requested - twice. The food was sub-standard even for Denny's low bar. Everything was way oversalted. read more

Let me tell you a little story, Jenna. First of all, role model! She is the kindest most sweetest waitress I've ever had the pleasure of having! An angel sent from above. The den sauce? AMAZBALLS!!! Denny's should be called Jennys!! Because Jenna is the most fantabulous! read more

The staff is very friendly! Denny's never disappoints for late snigger snacks. And unlike ihop they have a great 2,4,6,8 menu.

I had the steak and shrimp with sautéed zucchini and squash and cheddar mashed potatoes. The veggies were really good. I didn't care for the breading on the shrimp. The manager was wonderful. He informed me I could save 10% ordering from the hotel I was staying at. He also offered me an extra drink since it was takeout and I couldn't take advantage of free refills. When I called asking if I could be notified when my food was ready since I was sitting in the car with my dog, he called the order right back and said he'd have it done in 10 minutes. When I came in, it was bagged and waiting for me. read more

I'm writing this review because I wanted to highlight the kindness of one of the hosts! Was super friendly, and even offered to carry the food out to my car for me because I was alone with a baby. May seem like a small gesture, but it was so so kind. Dennys has always been my favorite restaurant, but I feel like kindness should be highlighted whenever it's given! Thank you! read more

We just went to the nearby Denny's to get breakfast. They have free wi-fi which I though I'd connect to and save some data plan. Well, their SSID (network name ) and password are unbelieveable and I just said no! Here is a sample of their wi-fi info: Name: CBC1-72AF-XXX Password: DTCAA-KAE39-7NJFXX Now, do you REALLY think you could type this in using your phone. I sure as hell cannot. Complain about this if your Denny's has non-sense like this. read more

No more biscuits and gravy meal, they want to charge a la cart prices on everything so biscuits and gravy with an egg on the side over $8. Have been at Denny's regular for years, and I find no reason to come in the future.Hot Breakfast read more

2/16/18 7:pm I attempted to eat at this location, but after sitting for 15 minutes without any service whatsoever, I decided to leave. Tables seated after me ordered drinks, got their drinks, and ordered food, but I hadn't even been approached with a simple "Hello" or "I'll be with you in a moment." 2 severs in the place, and they both looked at me multiple times. Ridiculously terrible service - How about appreciating the customers you have in the middle of this construction zone? read more

Usually 8 go to Dennys expecting good service, delicious feel good food, and people who could be ancient to say the least. Well this last time I went i only found 2 of these things and let me tell you I didn't find feel good food. I ordered a normal milkshake but they brought me a milk shake enough to feed 10. And I drank it but now I feel the regret and will curse the Dennys name forever for now I am lactose intolerant. Thanks a lot. I give this place minus 1 star for every time I went to the bathroom and took a poo that day. read more

One star is toooooooo generous. I walked into this place and the manager ignored me. I wasn't upset since I had to go to the bathroom. But when I came out of the bathroom I was standing there for 15 mins while he was doing god knows whatever he does. I couldn't leave since I was meeting a friend there. I finally got seated, and we ordered our food probably within the first 5 minutes of sitting down, but why did it have to take 25 minutes to get our food. By the time we got our food which was way over cooked, I just wanted to get up and leave. My friend ended up paying for our meals by taking the receipt and cash and setting it on the counter next to the cash register in front of the manager who was again (god know whatever he does) doing. When we booked it out of there. But as soon as we get to her car she says she left her ear bud in the place, and ran back in to get it, only to be confronted in rude manner and tone by this manger telling her she didn't pay for her meal. She walked over the register and showed him the receipt and the cash and slid it towards him and said "Maybe service could be better next time!" read more
