We have eaten here a couple times, right after they first opened, and it was fine. It's Denny's...you know what you're getting, and it's pretty cheap. Just a few days ago, we decided to go here again because I was getting hangry and everywhere else we drove past had a line outside (Covid, so completely understandable...but I didn't want to wait too long). The restaurant still looks neat and clean inside, it wasn't too busy, and they were able to give us a booth right away which was great. Our server was very friendly (I don't remember her name, though...sorry). The only irritating thing was the 2 tables of guys that felt the need to yell their entire conversations. But here's why I can't give 3 stars. We ordered over easy and over medium eggs, respectively, with pancakes and sausage. The eggs were VERY underdone his way more than mine but still very runny whites, and my pancakes seemed a little raw in the center. We didn't eat out anywhere else that day. When we both got home, both of us were KINDA sick. Not full on food poisoning, but I believe it was the undercooked eggs. My husband was feeling sick first, and then me, a few hours later...stomach cramps, then in the bathroom. Ugh. We were fine later on though...but I'm a little wary of going back. Definitely not going to eat eggs there for a while. I should have mentioned the eggs to the waitress and I didn't, but I didn't know I'd get sick. So use caution. If your eggs aren't cooked all the way, send them back. If I'm brave enough to try again, and I don't get sick, I'll update my review. read more

If you aren't black their customer service is great! If you are DONT GO! They act like you don't exist.

There's a Denny's a Tumwater y'all. Best food . Get out of Lacey and come to Tumwater you won't regret it

Got seated the waitress came over and took our order. After 20 minutes without getting no water or drinks and having everyone around who got seated after us get drinks and even food we left as waitress wouldn't attend us. Don't know how she even forgot about us because when we first got seated she dropped a plate of food that almost hit our feet. The staff was friendly just didn't get any service. read more

I love having Sunday brunch's at Denny's in Tumwater and my favorite server Shawna is always kind and great and the food is delightful I love having food here and look forward to seeing Shawna soon. read more

Ryan C at the Tumwater Washington Location is an absolute king among men. He is friendly and hospitable. Our food came out quick and delicious. He accommodated our needs and recommend fantastic additions. We are forever thankful. Keep your head up, king read more

This is the best Denny's I've been to. The food and service are always good - even when I have it delivered! It's a newer building and I can only assume it has great management. Becky is one of the best servers I've had at a Dennys. I love that this restaurant is in my home community! read more

Love love love. Cleanest Dennys I've ever been to. Our waitress was friendly and made sure we had what we needed. Food was a bit slow, but other than that it was 'eggcelent'! My family and I will be coming back! read more

Couldn't seat us even though their were many tables open it was odd, maybe they had low staff than usual? Not sure

For being open for less than a week, the service my partner and I experienced at this location was phenomenal. The food was absolutely amazing! My omelette was really good, per usual, and my partner's burger was really good (especially for a breakfast place!) And to top it off, our waiter, Kramer (or Cramer) was on top of everything. Because of the long wait on my partner's milkshake, he offered to buy him a coke, and since our food was going to take a bit longer, he offered to buy me another orange juice. He even insisted on buying one for me after dinner was over to-go (which I politely declined). Overall, we had a great time at the new Denny's. I can definitely tell that with hard work, this will be the #1 spot to go out in Tumwater. I'm extremely pleased with our experience, and I will definitely be back. read more

I've eaten at this Denny's several times in the last two months. Ive gotten the Wildman Omelette each time because it is so good that I crave it. It's big enough that get two meals. The servers at this location are very friendly, even when in a frenzy. It is a VERY BUSY location so you have to be a little understanding if they aren't quite able to keep your coffee cup filled before you ask. I'm sure I'll just keep going back. read more

Very disappointing won't be back waitress was short with us coffee extremely strong and I drink I it black ordered a slam all the food had clearly been sitting in a warmer read more

Ordered delivery and received pancakes that came with no syrup and a apple carnal desert that came with no ice cream. Hash browns were burned as well. Went into eat and the waiter didn't even know the menu and our order was incorrect. Go to Denny's in Tumwater because they are good every time and this one is a joke. read more

Bad everything smelled and tasted like sickness and the bathroom was covered in something sticky

Wasn't too bad. The place looked really nice but it defiantly is really loud but that's expected of a family restaurant. Food was good. Donte was our server and he was very polite and made sure to check on us when needed :) read more

I'm so DISGUSTED. I came in tonight for a celebration dinner with my family. I could not even finish my meal because your staff thought that a documentary on dog fighting was appropriate. My children got to watch dogs rip each other to shreds while eating and when I brought this to employees attention it took about 5 minutes to get anybody to change the channel. I am SICKENED that this was even allowed to be on the tv. And I'm upset that management did nothing to rectify the situation. I will NEVER come to this restaurant again. I hope your $42 was worth it. read more

This Denny's has the most competent staff ever! Very friendly and efficient! I love coming here, sometimes just to use the WiFi as we've just moved to this state. They're more than patient while we stay long after we've eaten. read more

I have been waiting for Denny's to open in Tumwater for long time so I won't have to drive to Lacey. I love their breakfast. Bad experience with their burger and wavy fries last week but they took $5.00 off my bill. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our first meal at this new Dennys. The haddock fish was delicious.

Only received ONE refill of pancakes when i ordered UNLIMITED. CEO of of false advertisement

Food was great, but the service was horrible. I came in with my 3 kids ( 1 year old twins & 5 year old ) and husband for brunch. I was going to order a super slam & give my twins some of my pancakes considering they are too young to eat kids meals. but when I went to order she told me my meal was not to share. I said so I can't share with my one year old twins? She said no. So that was off putting considering my husband, myself, and our 5 year old were ordering full meals with drinks that are extra like orange juice. Her name tag also said she was a certified trainer which is interesting considering she wasn't friendly and wouldn't let me share my pancakes with my BABIES. Ridiculous. read more

It is very loud. You can't have a conversation with the person across the table from you. We went in for lunch. The burger was ok but very messy, I ended up eating it with a fork. The server was very friendly. read more

Staff is efficient. Food is good. Prices are fair. An improvement over the last joint. Can't ask for more.

Came in at 11:30 pm with about 25 high school drama kids. They handled the huge crowd very well and service was great. Food was better than I expected and included fresh fruit and vegetables. I will be back with my family. read more

Seated us and never came back. No coffee, no order. Waited 20 minutes. It's 10 at night with 8 people in the entire restaurant. Hungry and unhappy! Arlington, WA read more

We drove by and saw it was open. I live 2 miles from here and never heard that they had opened. We asked. They have been open 3 weeks. We ordered. Eggs were cold. Asked for extra crispy hash browns. Got undercooked. Toast was warm not toasted. Did not have a good experience. read more

It's finally open! After a long wait we have another choice for dining in Tumwater. It was opening day and we decided to check it out. We were able to find parking and were seated immediately. They were doing a brisk business but had lots of staff being well utilized. Our order was taken and filled quickly. The food was hot and done properly. The only negative was the acoustics in the dining area on the east side of the facility. With the lack of sound absorbing materials on the floor, it was really loud. Other than that it was a positive experience. I hope the level of service we received today continues. Time will tell. UPDATE 8/14/19. Went in for an early dinner/late lunch. Not much of a crowd. Lots of staff and poor service. Slow to take order. Had to ask for refill on coffee. Person near me had dirty silverware and her meal had some issues. I hope the management takes the feedback as constructive and stays on top of any problems pointed out. read more

My husband and I just got home after breakfast at the new Tumwater Denny's. The building remake is wonderful. Top marks to the designers and builders. It's clean, fresh, bright and welcoming. It's well staffed and the staff worked as a team. If our excellent server Donte was not there, someone else was! Very impressive! My only complaint, if you can even call it that, was that the menu is a little short on carb-free options. We are both diabetic. We both ordered the Hearty 9-grain. breakfast. The pancakes were very tasty, but dry without enough butter to make them "really" enjoyable. We don't use as much, or in my case, ANY syrup. I almost ordered the 3-egg veggie omlette, but that was simply too much food. As it was, neither of us could finish our pancakes. We realize that the menu is not up to the individual reataurant... (Are you listening, corporate?), but we will definitely be back. Thanks for a great start to our day! read more

Brought my parents in today to have breakfast and I have to say that this new Denny's was stunning compared to some of the other Denny's restaurants that I've been in. The service was great, friendly staff, accommodating, professional. The food was on key great from the first bite to the last bite. The issue I have is with the cleanliness of the restaurant. The first thing I came to notice was a nasty men's restroom. The walls next to the urinals had drip marks all down them and with dry food stuck to them as maybe someone had vomited on them, but to have it dried on tells me that it's been there a long time. Then the sinks have brown dirt marks that had dried in all the corners across of what should have been a beautiful white stone like counter. The mirrors had lots of dried dirtg spots on the lower half then the upper half had a thick layer of dust. Again not cleaned in a good while. On the way back to my table the hallway floor was grease slippery being that it's also where the door from the front of the house passes to the back of the house. Noticing the wait staff passing through constantly tracking the grease with their shoes out to the front makes me wonder how awful the back of the house floor is? Potential slipping hazard for everyone. As I sat down at my booth the sunlight caught a seriously thick layer of dust on the top of the walls that separate the booths enough where you can see that people have touched it with their hand marks left in it. Then the front windows where the dining tables are and the patrons sitting are are absolutely disgusting! It's as if dirt water has been thrown on them and allowed to dry. Not just one, but all of them and over fifty percent of each window. How could they be proud to have people sit at those tables and have them looking through the windows through that filth? I didn't go investigating this restaurant, these issues hit me right in my face. It's a shame that this beautiful restaurant and the big bucks that the Denny's Corporation poured into it and this is the disgusting state it's held in. I'm sure that these aren't the standards in which the Denny's Corporation find acceptable and hopes that something is done. The lack of cleaning practices with a beautiful brand-new restaurant will most likely have the place a slum in a year or less. Remember great staff, great food, but for now I have to question the condition in the back kitchen where my food came from if that's how the front of the house is like. Please clean it up, I'd like to come back one day. Thank you. read more
