  Service sucked as usual. The old hag with a heart of gold waitress was no where to be found. Coffee was burnt.....that was when they actually filled you up. Breakfast skillet was burnt as well. Over easy eggs not cooked enough. Get the point here???????? Stick with pancakes

  This Denny's is so good! The best I've been to. Every time I come the food is cooked just right and fresh, I'm never disappointed. I always order the Grand Slam with scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and white toast. I can't seem to get enough of the combination.
  
  It also helps that the wait staff is incredibly patient. My friend has gone in their several times quite sauced and boisterous, but the staff just laughs and is completely tolerable. They are some of the sweetest servers I've met, and they do make the Denny's experience a whole lot better.
  
  The only down side is the fact that they still have a smoker's section. The smell is apparent, and it does burn your nostrils. However, the disgustingness of the smoke balances out with the tastiness of the food.
  
  I would recommend this place for anyone craving breakfast, because they certainly deliver.

  Dennys is a culture all it's own. It attracts a group of regulars that range from teens to middle 20's and seems to be a favorite of hipsters and trendy wannabes in the wee hours of the morning. The regulars are typically entertaining because they all know one another and act friendly to each other but sit in small groups and gossip about how much of a "poser" everyone else in the place is. It's also fun to listen to the arguments about who comes to Dennys the most or who started coming first like it's some sort of honor. The food is barely edible but again I go here for the midnight coffee and "show". The place is always full of smoke and the smoking section has a ceiling that is always caving in do to water damage for some reason. The waitresses are always rude and seem to be annoyed that they are required to do their jobs. One time a waitress yelled at us for switching tables when she sat us at a booth and told us to switch tables if the rest of our party showed up. I really can't understand their attitudes since they typically complain within ear shot of not getting decent tips, I can't imagine why. Once we somehow ended up with a totally wonderful attentive waitress. I told the manager on my way out how great she was and how impressed I was because the service was typically terrible. I think he thought I was joking. Dennys, a culture to study and behold.

  Recently ate breakfast here.... in the wee hours of the morning sometime after the bars close and dawn arrives....
  
  Hmmm pancakes... 4 bucks... all you can eat the sign says... Great deal.. Sign shows a stack of pancakes as high as Sears Tower (Willis Tower sucks) .... my pancakes arrive and I get three (3) laid across the plate like 3 lifeless sponges...
  
  I consume those... Waitress nowhere in sight... I guess their suppose to like fade away in hopes you don't ask for more.
  
  Well, finally I did.... "I'd like four (4) more pancakes... We only serve two more at a time... Let me ask the manager!?  Many minutes later my four (4) arrive......
  
  ... If you're going to play recession deals with your customers ...  You better best come thru with the product, service and a smile....
  
  This place sucks pus in the moonlight..... And it is for this reason I hate most chains... It's just not like a Greek owned 24 hour restaurant....
  
  Avoid this place!

  Well what can I say...Denny's is....Denny's. It's open all night long, so it's the hangout for just about every night owl/traveler. Subsequently, the whole damn place will almost always be full of smoke. They're a bit overpriced for what they are, and if it's just about any reasonable time of the night, there are a plethora of better places than this to go to in Portage for a breakfast-type meal.
  
  The staff is generally personable, although one time I went with my cousin and a crazy British lady yelled at us. "Your son threw a penny at me, punish him...PUNISH HIM". Yeah she thought my 14 year old cousin was my son. I was 20. He also hadn't thrown change of any sort.
  
  Moral of the story is, if you're starving and it's 3 am and you happen to pass it, I guess you can stop in, but avoid the screaming British lady if you can help it.
