LUNCH COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER =================================== We stopped at this Denny's that is connected to a Flying J on Interstate 40 for lunch. After searching reviews for about an hour while my husband drove I felt this would be a safe option. I think we arrived around 11:30 a.m. and it took at least an hour to get our food. There weren't that many people in the restaurant, but it still took a long time. I ordered a club sandwich and I had to take most of the mystery meat out of it other than the bacon. The cold cuts looked weird and translucent. We probably would have been better off scrounging for something to eat at the Flying J. read more

You mess up on my Oder don't expect for a tip!!! They gave the food to ppl who came after me; when I asked they said they gave my order to someone else... read more

I ordered the Grand Slam Burrito, and once again the hash browns were not completely cooked. This isn't the first time I've had this issue -- it seems to be a recurring problem at many Denny's locations. The hash browns come out soft and undercooked instead of golden and crispy like they should be. Denny's corporate and franchise owners really need to remind their cooks that hash browns should be cooked all the way through, with that crisp texture customers expect. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in the meal experience. read more

Jessica B offered amazing service with a very friendly disposition! Will definitely be back!

Driving through heading to cali and stopped. Food was fresh and well seasoned. Burger and bourbon chicken was great!

We drive from Northern, AZ to Iowa quite often unfortunately. We always end up stopping at Tucumcari Denny's in the middle of the night and we always get Amanda. She's fun and attentive and I'm thankful for her. I have a limited diet and an thankful for their healthy whole grain pancakes at an awesome price. read more

Considering the last Dennys we ate at was horrible, this one was AMAZING! Thanksgiving dinner! So so so good!!!!!!

My husband and I are traveling from Texas back home to AZ and decided to stop at Denny's in Tucumcari, NM. Our server named Peter (I think he goes by the name Pete) was absolutely awesome. He was on top of things and is one of our top 5 servers if all time. I don't know how Denny's was able to find this gem of a guy but well done! He was very polite, and his vibe was professional. Well done mister! read more

It took over five minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. When the server finally noticed us, they simply said, "I'll be right with you," and then went back to helping others. At no point did we feel welcomed. Considering this restaurant is in an area where many travelers stop by, I would have expected a warmer and more attentive experience. read more

Food was poorly prepared, hash browns came out mostly raw, chicken fried steak was warm but the gravy was cold. By the time cooked hash browns appeared everything else was cold on the plate. When paying the bill I tried to offer some constructive criticism to the woman we were paying. Instead of receiving my comments graciously she was trying to correct me in a very know it all way. read more

We were seated immediately, the server was super friendly, food came out quickly and was very tasty. Jaiden our server was super nice, knew the menu cover to cover, came with drinks and was an overall 10/10. great job Jaiden. regards Richie read more

Food tastes like it's fried in engine oil -- old and unpleasant. Service indifferent. Asked for a spoon, got a disposable knife and fork instead . Everything served in cheap single-use containers. read more

Good Morning. have been in Tucumcari for 40 years. watched a whole bunch of waiter and waitress's come thru. today we were served by a waiter named Cody. you guys hit the jackpot with this young man. he was/is a stellar waiter. were hoping you as a corporate understand the value of good service this young man provides for the Denny's here in Tucumcari. believe me you have had some crappy servers quite consistently in the past years. please consider realizing and appreciate this kind of incredible service is a plus to a Denny's that has been in such a bad light in the past. Cody you rock sir! read more

Food good. Poor server was overwhelmed with too many table to work. Food was hot but took quite awhile.

great and fast service. my waitress was on top of my refills and taking my order and getting anything I needed

Nice, clean location right off the freeway. Good breakfast and great service. Joseph was so nice; frequently checked in on us during our meal. All in all a great place to start our morning before a long drive . read more

I'm giving it a great ranking because the food was good and what we ordered, that although our waitress forgot something on my husbands order. , she was overwhelmed because they were short handed and she was busily cleaning tables as well. We didn't even have to wait long for our food. read more

Terri the server was wonderful, attentive, and happy in her job, which is rare! Food hot and fresh.

Great atmosphere and fast and professional service good value Food was great love it read more

TRISHA is a very warm and generous server. She made sure everything was done to our preferences. The portion sizes for the lumberjack slam was much smaller than normal, but that was not her fault. When we brought it to her attention she made it right! read more

I was looking forward to a light meal. That's exactly what I got with top of the line service. It's rare animal to get good food out here anymore. It used to be that you could stop at any time day or night and get a regular meal. That's gone except for a few instances like gere at the Flying J with Denny's. Now these truck stops if that's what you can call them are only interested in collecting your money. They don't give a shit about the driver's. So it's a plus to get a good meal and great service.​ read more

I have been traveling interstate 40 for years. I would always plan my stops for Tucumcari. Many times Elvira was my server. She was always polite and friendly. I hope to have her as a server many more times. I don't get this standard of service from other servers. The food is always good. read more

I'm a little late in leaving this review by a year and a half but I still think it needs to be acknowledged. This was the last place I was able to take my mom. She wanted pancakes and to get out of house so we went to Dennys. My mom's illness was Alzheimer's and dementia and if anyone reading this has had a partner with it then I'm sure they can relate. We got there and were seated right away. I already knew it would be a minute due to being under staffed. It did take a while but not an unreasonable amount of time. They waitress was so kind to my mom. I felt like even though she had so much to do, she gave my mom all the attention she could. My mom loved the food and ate almost everything. I personally think the food is good as well. When we were done and I was standing at the register paying my mom wandered almost in to the kitchen. The waitress and kitchen staff were so gracious. They told her if she went back there they'd put her to work. That seemed to make her day cause she very happily said "YES" They just as easily could have done the "mama! Ma'am!" Thing to her but they didn't. Thank you to the staff who took the time to be kind to my mom. It was everything to me at that time. Thank you again. There is gonna be a wait due to staffing but the food is good quality and I totally recommend it. read more

Terri is an awesome server!! Food at this Denny's was way better than the one in Jackson TN. Clean too .

Our waitress was very attentive, her name was terri in 2021 mountain rd tucumari, nm

Our server Terri was amazing! She was on top of it! I would definitely come here again. Great service and great food!

Terri was very nice and we had very good service. We were seated and received our food quickly

Bad service, food from 3 days and horrible attitude. The food was so bad I almost threw up. Also they did extra charges

Denny's was a short walk from our hotel so we decided to stretch our legs and give it a try. The restaurant is attached to a convenience mart and gift shop. If you have little ones that might be a distraction. We were quickly seated in an almost deserted dining room. Two other tables had patrons. I ordered a patty melt with onion rings. Our server was efficient, kept our glasses filled and checked in on us during our meal. Our food arrived quickly and we consumed it just as quickly--we were hungry! The food was nothing special. It wasn't bad but it didn't stand out either. It was just Ok. We paid our bill, tipped the waitress and were on our way back to the hotel. No complaints..... we filled up and moved on much like the convenience mart crowd. read more

The service was friendly, food standard for Denny along with the ambiance. Denny's is usually a safe bet while on the rode. This one is one of the best read more

What a waste of an hour. Service was terrible, manager was the worst part. She took our order, what wasn't wrong, WE NEVER GOT. We weren't looking for free food just good food and admirable service, we got neither. Next time we will roll on down the highway and find a local diner. read more

While we only had one waitress Melanie Martinez was Wonder Woman. She was EVERYWHERE! So Friendly Upbeat with Superfast service. Our breakfast came out fast and delicious. read more

Who knew Denny's could be so good? Our server was great, even tho she was slammed with tables. My mom had the bourbon steak and veggies, which she really enjoyed. I had a Cobb salad, which was generous in size and packed with toppings. Usually I think of Denny's as a hangover/breakfast spot. But this dinner stop off I-40 was just what we needed. Would absolutely stop here again read more

Micheal Wasn't the nicest server had a lot of attitude for no reason at all made faces and sighs after every request. But other than that the food was good Shout out to the cooks! read more

Slow service don't go there until the morning shift arrives at 7am. Funny how Restaurant's that a have a CEO they always say "We can't get any help, nobody wants to work!!" (Don't expect to get a 3rd refill of Coffee either!" It's also funny how a Mom and Pop Restaurant's have plenty of help and you will get as many Refills you want.. "PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS' !" read more

Had chicken fried chicken dinner. Coating was crisp but tasted like the oil it was fried in. Need more 55+ choices. Very disappointed in greedy prices. Hamburger increased $4 in one year! read more

Servers and others are friendly and the food is good. Service is much faster than it was in the past. I'm happy with this Denny's when it come to dining in. However, their order pick-up option needs to be fixed. I've placed multiple orders for pickup and not once have they gotten it 100% correct. What they almost always do is leave something out. It is so bad, I no longer place such orders. read more

Terri was a great server, very attentive, all orders were correct and she checked on us regularly.

I didn't know a Dennys could suck so bad!!!! What in the Hell's Kitchen is this place !!!!!! The cooks are playing ratchet music and taking an hour to make cold nachos and wings. You're better off eating Cheetos instead of this location!!! read more

Great Service by Amberin ! Will definitely return next time though Tucumcari , New Mexico read more
