Samantha is the best! Always smiling and very attentive to all her customers. Enjoy seeing her when we go to Denny's read more

Abby was very nice and efficient. food was very good also. food came out fast. food was at a good value also. Ambience was good.

Not to be dramatic but the new hours have ruined my life lmfao. I mean not really but wtf is 6am-3pm? I can't even work a normal job and get some dennys.... Just close down at this point and let another restaurant with some real hours take your place please. read more

We went to dennys this morning for breakfast and Abby Torres was excellent in serving us, food was delicious. Only complaint I have is the bathroom are freezing cold. read more

Try being open regular Dennys hours. Who ever heard of a Dennys being open from 6am to 3pm? Ridiculous! Went by today and was closed at noon. Sign said kitchen being remodeled. Might as well close permanently and get a decent run restaurant in that location. I'm done going to this one. read more

Wanted to give them anther chance after watching the kitchen not Wearing gloves while preparing food. Apparently after complaining, they terminated that cook and replaced him with another cook that DOESN'T WEAR GLOVES WHILE PREPARING YOUR FOOD!!!YUCK. What is wrong here? read more

Good food and good service with the smiles of good people. Pricing is fair plus specials as well.

EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I have made three trips to this restaurant during October and the experience has not been great. On each visit I sat at the counter being able to see directly into the cooking area. I immediately noticed the cook not wearing gloves while handling customers food orders. I called for the manager to discuss this health department safety violation. She then went into the kitchen to talk with the cook who then put on gloves. I then got my food, ate and left. On my next visit about a week later I went to the same seat and immediatly noticed the SAME COOK NOT WEARING GLOVES (AGAIN), I called for the manager again, there was not one on duty, so the asst. manager went to speak with the cook. This TIME HE DID NOT PUT ON GLOVES. Since my food order was already in I got my food and ate and left. Not before registering a vehiment complaint about this egregious saftey violation. I gave it one my try to see if anything had changed. I immediatey went and looked from the counter to see if THIS SAME COOK WAS WEARING GLOVES WHILE PREPARING MEALS, HE WAS NOT. I called for the manager, expressed my concerns, wanting to speaking with the District Manager, I was told I could not call and that I would receive a call. I did not eat here this time as a cook who REFUSES TO WEAR GLOVES WHILE PREARING YOUR FOOD IS A HEALTH HAZARD, I left the restaurant without eating. As to the call from the District Manager, it has been over two weeks, and I have heard NOTHING. So my final word to all of you, IS EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN HEALTH RISK! read more

The restaurant was clean, booths & tables clean also. We were seated promptly, with menus, and our server allowed us time to look over the menus & gave suggestions with our rewards to help decide since one of us had a birthday. Out server, Ashley, was patient & kind. We had 3 teens who were a bit overly zealous and asked for additional things, and she always came and brought their request with a smile. The food was very good and we actually ordered extra, which we were unable to finish. We boxed and brought home. The only issue with the food was my dish, the Taco Skillet, didn't look appetizing at all or anything like the picture. But it tasted ok. The avocado were brown and the eggs were brown also from the sauce used. After I had spilled a whole glass of water, she gave me napkins to clean up myself and the spill. We highly recommend this Denny's in Waterloo, IL. read more

Enjoyed Veterans Day breakfast of sausage, bacon 2 eggs and short stack of buttermilk pancakes. A lot of armed forces hats worn by vets throughout restaurant. Many people to serve this morning but fast and efficient work by servers. Great start to Saturday morning. read more

Kai always does an amazing job! 10 out of 10 service everytime I go! And the food is always bangin! ( ° °)

No better way then starting off my Saturday morning than with a big smile and bubbly personality from Stacy at Dennys in Waterloo IL 959 Illinois Rt 3. Stacy provided excellent service and made sure our large party was properly accommodated. Even early in the morning, Stacy was efficient and made our experience extremely enjoyable. We look forward to coming back and supporting such a well run breakfast! read more

This is no ordinary Denny's- it's clean & bright & good service & yummy food! Not just for late night stops on the way home from drinking! Our server was so cheerful & patient, the best! I think her name is Danielle (wish I knew for certain)! read more

I like going to Dennys when I go out and when it comes late I come on way home from St Louis. Dennys is good place to have breakfast. Always ordered Grand Slam meal. Over easy eggs, bacon, hash brown and wheat hearty pancakes are my favorite meal to eat at late night read more

See all

Brandy was a great server, great breakfast! Always enjoy it here! Thank you! love the hometown feel!

Visited today around 1130. Short staffed (as are lots of places), we were ok with that. The waitress was very friendly and kept us informed that she would be right with us. First off, they must have wiped the table off with a dirty rag from the smell. The food was decent, and pumpkin pancakes were great. But they were truly beyond short staffed. No refills, at $3.60 a soda. She was definitely overwhelmed. The wait for a table and the wait to pay was ridiculous. It was such someone could have dined and dashed. Expected management to help, but didn't see any. read more

The breakfast grand slam was good as usual. The reason for adding this comment is because our server Corey was awesome. Pay attention to detail and taking care of our every need even though he had many tables wasabove and beyond. He made the experience. read more

Okay. First OF ALL the service was horrible. She told us she had a lot of tables. We saw her wait on 3 others she stood and talked to the table next to us for a long time. She apparently knew then. I saw her ask the other 2 table if they were okay. She never asked us if we wanted more coffee or water. And only came by to lay the check down. Not even ask if everything was good. Which it wasn't my French Toast was burnt. They had it flipped over and burnt side down never again! read more

Came in tonight about 12:30 am and was greeted with a smile the server Tiffany had sat us and said that our server Abby would be right with us you could tell they were slammed and were running around crazy but Abby came up and even tho they are swamped she had a smile on her face way to go dennys for having great servers and even tho they are busy and stressed you couldn't tell with how they interact with the customers will definitely be back just because of them -------- ------Thomas Taylor read more

Great service! Stacy was our waitress, she is kickass! Give that woman a raise!!! She was by herself keeping up with 6 tables like it was nothing, she's a great worker. read more

My sisters got straws but i didn't and the bacon was not cooked and the salad was celery and cabbage they favor people and messed up my tea i asked for regular and they gave me sweet. NEVER GO HERE. TERRIBLE PLACE. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN read more

Food tasted very good. Service was very good and accommodated our large party I was very impressed.

Waited for 25 minutes and no server came to the table. There were plenty of servers walking around and so was the general manager Brian who sat us. Left and went to applebees read more

The team at this location are absolutely amazing!! My food was was delicious and prepared perfectly. My server Paige was very attentive and did a fabulous job. This location is clean and well kept. read more

Denny's is perhaps our favorite place to sit and dine. They all have that diner feel and there are Denny's in most towns and we like to eat there when we travel. read more

Food is always pretty good but last time I went there they didn't honor the kids eat free. The kids meals are so expensive and small so I feel getting rid of these promotions shows a lack of community/family support. The last few times I went there the service wasn't very good and my bill was $65 for my family of 5 with 3 of them being under 12. read more

We always get good quality food and great service especially from Stacy. She is amazing awesome wonderful and friendly. I love watching the relationships she develops with all of her customers. She will come to know you so we'll she can remember your order and what you like. She is very much a people person!! read more

Today was horrible the first thing We ordered a smoothie from the children's menu for my 2 year old grand daughter it came it a regular glass! We sat forever waiting for our food when it finally came it was cold my daughters french toast was cold and hard Some bacon was crispy some was soggy The waitress was not friendly at all actually I got the impression that we were a burden to her My husband did not want me to leave her a tip I did not much tho read more

I have eaten at the Waterloo Dennys several times, and although the food is usually good, management is very poor. Asst General Manager seated us by simply walking to the table, dropping the menus on the table and didn't speak one word. He is too concerned about his appearance and showing off his muscles than welcoming guests. According to his professional website, he has no restaurant experience which definitely shows. They are always out of something even though his skills include inventory management. I feel sorry for the very few waiting staff that actually work. read more

Took forever to come get our order, I order boneless wings and he ordered all american breakfast w ham and he didn't get his ham or toast and I got my food and my boneless chicken bites were just chicken with buffalo sauce drizzled over it and no celery, I ran out of my drink and I only got one drink and never got a refill. my boyfriend tipped $5 but I would tip a solid $2 read more

You advertise, send emails and mailings for weeks about the breakfast special to honor Veterans on Veterans Day. As a Veteran, my wife and I tried to apartake in the Veterans Day meal, but it wasn't meant to be. Staff was totally unprepared for the number of patrons arriving. Disappointed with the manager on staff as he seemed to figure the best way to deal with the problem was to ignore those waiting and even those wanting to pay. I guess he figured if he ignored the problem, the problem would go away. He was right. There were about four couples besides us that left the same time as us after waiting over 30 minutes with many tables being open. And he had not communicated with the patrons at all. So sad and disappointing. Hopefully you will be able to figure this out by next year. It seems you "talked the talk, but couldn't walk the walk". read more

The management needs to step up and staff this restaurant. The lack of staffing is giving this place a poor reputation. The servers are friendly but the place is just completely under staffed. The last 5 times I have went there the workers are apologetic for the lack of service and the long wait for a table, service and food. read more

4/9/22 we ate at the denny's in waterloo, IL today and it was terrific. our server was Erica. wow! is she a hard worker. she took our order and kept our glasses filled. you couldn't but help notice how she constantly worked cleaning and setting up tables. she was a human tornado. she was attentive but not intrusive. very personable. the two cooks worked as a team and it was impressive how they moved back and forth and never got in the other guy's way. and the food was excellent; cooked perfectly. i would definitely go back to the denny's in waterloo. read more

We took our grandchildren for their first trip to Denny's on a Sat. Morning. The place was busy and we had a wait for our table. Service was slow but staff friendly and attentative. The food was served as ordered and was tasty. read more

Awesome service from Stacy! Good food. Like to make it a weekly stop! Friendly place to be.

watched a waitress get bribed to take someone else's order who came in after us before us

They are either so busy they can't handle it, or so slow the servers are waiting at the door for you to come in. I've never had "bad" service here, but if you get there during the "too busy to handle" time, you will get slow service. On a plus note, I've never had a rude server here. It's also the only place to eat in town (that's not McDonald's, I don't count them as food) after 10pm. read more
