    Stack of Pancakes
    Erika J.

    Decided to take myself to breakfast and I decided to come to Denny's. I sat at the bar. My waitress was good and attentive and my food was good. (Food pictures attached). My only one "complaint" is I thought the pancakes looked pretty small compared to other times I've came. But they still tasted good. They had a holiday menu which was pretty limited but it had what I wanted but if you're looking for something specific you may be out of luck.

    Denny's pancake puppies

    Our experience has always been favorable at this Denny's (Crain Hwy, Waldorf). No complaints about the cleanliness, service, wait times, etc. Our table seems to always be missing something (pepper, silverware, sugar, etc.) butttt the attending hostess has always accommodated us in a timely and friendly manner. I'm sure Denny's will always be in my breakfast rotation because I am a SUCKER for those "pancake puppies"! (*stock photo*)

    Choconana Pancake Breakfast
    Melissa E.

    This is my go to Dennys for take out breakfast, however today I decided to go inside and sit down. I'm glad I did, it truly elevated the dining experience. My waitress, Julissa was amazing, very attentive but not overbearing. The inside is standard Dennys atmosphere, plenty of seating and enough bar space if I wanted to sit there as well. Today I ordered my usual: Grand Slam: scrambled eggs with cheese, turkey bacon, shredded hash browns but this time I substituted my toast for chocolate banana pancakes Everything was 10/10 Fresh, came out fast but not too fast to make me think my food has been sitting. I enjoyed the fact a lot of people were there, dining alone. I was very comfortable and enjoying the entire experience. I will definitely be back.

    Everyday Slam
    Aj M.

    I decided to use my T-Mobile Tuesday app to get me an Everyday Slam. The parking is always chaotic, but I was able to find a spot. When I got in I was immediately seated. My table was clean, but missing items. It was a pretty busy Friday morning. My waitress told me she would come back to me in a couple of minutes. When she did, she was friendly. I showed her the promo, and she asked if I wanted anything to drink and then proceeded to take my menu. My food came out about 10 mins later. I never got napkins or syrup. I had to ask the young lady that brought my food out for napkins and syrup. The food was just ok. I'm not expecting D.C brunch quality. The food matched the prices. If you want a decent meal at a good price, come here...but don't expect too much.

We had dinner there my son and I shared a melt. It was delicious! The Moons Over My Hammy, to be exact! The following evening we traveled home and my husband said he wanted to catch the game with friends. I stayed home and didn't really feel like cooking. While scrolling door dash I saw "The Melt Down" by Dennys. The menu only listed Melts. So I ordered a 3 melts. 1 for myself and 2 kids meal melts. My boys shared one and my daughter had her own. The melts are a nice size! Very filling and also tasty! They came hot and juicy! I highly recommend the Feeling Groovy Melt, so tasty! We had enough to save some for a snack the next day. Popped them in the oven and they were still on point! Great service, fast delivery on door dash's part. The you to the Denny for ensuring our order was correct! This location is always on point.

Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place

Today I finally visited and was a bit disappointed to see the underwhelming interior where it is strictly carry out and cheap metal guest chairs to wait on while the food is prepared. But it's really about the food right?! Meh. It was very hit and miss. I ordered the (4) sliders with grilled onions. They were slightly charred which was nice, and they were juicy, but they could have been cooked a little more (they were like medium to medium well and I prefer well done - I should note they didn't ask how I preferred my burgers cooked). I also ordered their jumbo fried wings and picked sweet and sassy sauce. The sauce was tasty and the wings had a nice texture, but beyond the sauce the wings had a plain flavor suggesting they didn't season the wings before frying and then coating them with sauce. Overall the food was solid but not awe inspiring. I was less impressed with their cakes. I ordered a strawberry slice and a carrot cake. The carrot cake was moist and wasn't bad at all. I've had much better, but it was edible and satisfied my sweet tooth for the day. The strawberry cake however was dry and grainy. Perhaps it was old. It was definitely a waste of $7.99! On the plus side the employee was friendly and nice, so there's that!

The steak and cheese featured soggy bread with a side of limp lukewarm fries, and the jerk chicken was a poor imitation of jerk flavor, as the best word I could use to describe it was lifeless. On the bright side, the employee was friendly and the food was ready on time, so at least there was that. Unfortunately, this was a total miss so my first time will also be my last time.

    Alexa, play "always time" by Miguel…read more Cracker Barrel in Waldorf will always hold a special place for me. It's the kind of spot that makes you imagine Sunday mornings with your person, the two of you settling into a table sharing life, and growing old together without even noticing time passing. I probably won't make that long drive from the city again, but the good memories tied to this place are ones I'll always keep close. I never had any real issues here, aside from one cold cup of coffee and even that feels small now. The wait staff was always warm and friendly, the kind of people who make a place feel familiar. And that little store inside? Still one of my favorite parts. All the cozy, quirky things you don't need but somehow want anyway. That's the charm. Parking is plentiful, and if you go, take that left when you exit. Trust me, it will make life easy. And well, life should be an easy and pleasant journey as possible. Let's get into it! Grandma's breakfast Always! - Blueberry pancakes and eggs with bacon. My little Sunday ritual. The kind of plate that feels like comfort, memory, and a hug all at once.

    I stopped by Cracker Barrel because I saw what looked like a meal deal advertised, but when I got…read morethere it was more of a "choose three country entrées" option with sides. For about $18 (before tax and tip), you get three selections and two sides, plus biscuits and cornbread ,which is definitely a good value for the quantity of food. I chose the fried chicken, meatloaf, and chicken & dumplings with turnip greens and mashed potatoes. The restaurant was pretty empty, and while the country store area is always charming, the dining room itself felt very cold .....literally. I will say my waitress, Tamara,was amazing. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure my drinks stayed full. Truly top-tier service. As for the food, it just wasn't good. The fried chicken was crispy but had a strange, almost watery taste. The meatloaf was dry and not appetizing. The chicken & dumplings were the only decent item, but it's hard to mess that up. The greens and mashed potatoes tasted old, and even though the biscuits and cornbread were warm, they tasted like they'd been baked earlier and reheheated. The peach sweet tea was good, though. I usually come to Cracker Barrel for breakfast because their pancakes (with the crispy edges) are good. But lately, even breakfast hasn't tasted as fresh as I remember. It could just be this location, but overall the quality feels like it's declined. The value is there for the portion size, but the freshness and flavor just aren't. I hope it's not the brand overall, because years ago Cracker Barrel tasted hot, fresh, and truly country. This visit just felt old and reheated.
