Denny's Restaurant

The positive: the manager seemed nice. There was one waitress, Priscilla (bless her heart), who checked and helped me several times when it wasn't her job to do so. She needs a promotion.

Everything else: Wow, 40 minutes for a TO-GO order.

I was being helped by someone, lets call him K, who was determined to do as little as possible. I overheard a waitress complaining about him not doing anything because he said he was sick. K seemed determined to show everyone how bad he was by not being able to ring up my order, check on its status, talk to me to verify my order, or finally check me out. He could however use his bare hands to cut up the banana for my meal without washing, which if he was sick, is horrible (I tossed the bananas).

Finally Priscilla took over so I could pay my bill, while K went back to playing with the monitor on the other register, after taking some time before that to sit at an empty table. I wish I could say the rest of the staff was better, but only Priscilla actively helped while everyone else treated it as 'not my problem'.

All of this happened during a manger shift change from what I can tell, so maybe that's why everything dragged on.

My food was good, but did it really matter at that point?

Situations like this is why I remind myself every few years to not eat at Denny's.

I have never had a good meal at Denny's. We were only here because late last night we had to find somewhere to sleep and so we ended up at the Best Western which this Denny's is attached to. Needing to get breakfast quickly and get back on the road, this seemed our easiest option.
The good news: the waitress was as sweet as she could be and did a good job, in spite of the crowds that began pouring in from the hotel shortly after we got there. Most of the staff looked disgruntled. One waitress said she had been there since eight the night before, and it was now 8AM.
Also, they now offer bold coffee instead of just the usual watery brew. They did not have it made when we arrived so we had to wait till they brewed the bold.
Bad news: the food is still as terrible as I remember. Even the bacon tasted like it had been cooked and sat on the side of the grill for hours. They have a new menu for making your own Grand Slam by picking out 4 breakfast items. One of our picks was oatmeal. After 10 minutes, they came back to tell us they didn't have any. The hash browns were still raw and flour tasting.
It was a depressing way to start the day.

Looks can be deceiving. DO NOT let the A rating sign on the door fool you. First off the so called water they serve is nasty,wouldn't even be good enough for my toilet.I've been to several Denny's and this by far is the worst.Although they had more "cons" than "pros" the only good thing, was the waitress came by to check on my family and I to make sure our service was good and if their was anything else we needed. Added insult was the waitress was actually yelling at the cook because our food was not done right. Visit at your own risk.
