Denny's Complaints Continued... (Page 6)

dennys in las cruces,it seems to go nowhere tp speak or tell concerns to the management.there is favoritism withn management.employees living with the management.so they get hours and a paycheck.other employee dating the person who lives with management,who hangs out with the other manager getting other employees hours and extra hours to get a paycheck. our gm is best friends and hangs out with a server who is not even 21 yetand gets hours and a paycheck.employees that work their butts off get nothing but cut hours and hassels.employees taking breaks longer than they should no write-ups.employees constantly late no write ups because they are friends to management,while other employees who come in late get threatened to be written up.a manager who openly states he hates his job and doesn't want to be a manger. no professionalism or fairness in this restaurant.customers openly complain about the management.

This past sunday my family and I decided to have lunch at dennys located at 3580 S wadsworth Lakewood CO. we had a decent dinning experience but when we left the restaurant it was when we realize how dishonest the employees were. My son was playing with his IPod after he finished his meal, got up and went on to the restrooms. We left not knowing he had left his iPod behind, as we got to the car within two minutes we realized he had left it in the restaurant. We went back to check the table and it was gone. (Also the tip was gone, and the table wasclean) When we asked the staff about it they said they hadn't seen it. But its imposible that within two minutes and after they cleaned the table for no one to see anything. I am not expecting for Denny s to pay for my son ipod because at the end it was his mistake for not taking care of his belongings but I do expect for dennys to hire honest employees. In hard times like this the restaurant should be trying to keep customers happy so they can keep their businesses, as for me and my family we are never returning to a Dennys.

On Monday 10-01-2012 at approximately 5:10 and Monday 10-15-2012 at 5:20pm my daughter (10yrs.) and myself chose to eat at Denny's. Both experiences were similiar but on 10/15/2012, it was worse. Denny's was not busy and had approximately 10 tables occupied. We waited approximately 10 minutes staring at a sign which read " It will be our pleasure to seat you", yet it did not feel that way. Then we were greeted by a guy in a tie who apparently could only say, "booth or table", which I responded "booth". Another 10 minutes went by until a waitress came to the booth. We got drinks and ordered, and then waited 45 minutes for a Jr. Grandslam and a Blueberry Pancake meal (i.e. one hour and five minutes). My daughter initiated the idea that we shouldn't come here anymore, "cause its so so slow". Yet we watched at least 3 cooks and 6 waitress act like they were having a great time. We ate it in 10 minutes, and waited again 10 minutes for a check. As I paid, the young girl said, "how was everything?", so I said, " It was terrible, we waited too long, and it ruined the rest of our plans this evening (i.e. which was dinner and a movie). The young girl replied with a dumb young chuckle, and took my money. It made me wonder why she was even trained to ask that question (i.e. since she didn't want the answer or the truth). It was a great evening with my daughter but a very lousy place to take her and wait a hour and a half to have some pancakes. I got her that evening to take her to the movies, and the delay and poor service, effected the remainer of our evening. We could have gone several other places, or have just cooked the pancakes myself at my home without any problems, which I'll probably will do next time.

Hello, I have been a loyal, bi-weekly customer at your establishment in Merrillville, IN for almost three decades. However, due to some extreme managerial issues, I regret to inform you that I will not be returning. Today when I sat down, there was no silverware at my table, nor any tables around me. For the third visit in a row, the orange juice tasted something awful. Aside from the juice, another consistency of your business was the manager's habitual "chit-chat" with employees; it is rather quite distracting.
Now, I may not run a restaurant, but for eleven years I have been a CEO for a rather large grocery store, so I know how to run a business. I know that is it a manager's obligation to perform any task needed when it can not feasibly be done by other employees, no matter how minute. Our server was adaquately busy with tables, so it would be the manager's duty to make sure that I had silverware. Instead, she stood gossipping with two of her servers. Throughout my meal, she ceeased only for a brief moment from her drivel. When I went to go cash out, I overheard her (I believe her name is "Cindy") talking very inappropriately about a pregnant server of hers. She was speaking very personally to three other servers. This type of behavior from any manager is unacceptable . I find it funny though, because the server she was reffering to, I have had on numerous occasions, and not only is she a dilligent worker, she is extremely delightful. It made me sick to hear your employee talk so ill of her server.
In addition, a few weeks ago I find myself coming out of the bathroom when I overhear your manager send two of her cooks on break. A server replies: "But Cindy, we'll only have one cook, and the rush is about to come in". Cindy replies: "no, we'll have two cooks". The server replies, " 'So-and-so' is just a trainee, he's not ready yet". Cindy replies, "No, he'll do just fine." Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, he didn't do fine; my bacon was burnt, there was no ham with my Lumberjack Slam, and there was no butter on my toast. Instead of putting all of her faith in a trainee, your manager should have been back there herself cooking my meal. I feel highly embarrassed for your company that your hourly employees seem to know more aout how your business should be ran than their superior.
For every successful business, there are successful people running it. There is nothing about your business in Merrillville that says "success" except for the serving staff, and on a slightly milder note, the cooking staff. There are serious flaws in the chain-of-command, as I have heard numerous employees use profanity and disrespect towards management to get what they want. But the thing is that it works, so who can blame them. As I have said, I attend your establishment twice a month, and let me tell you, business for you today has declined rapidly over the past 18 months. I implore you to fix your problems before customers like myself, begin to dine elsewhere. I am highly disappointed that my nostalgic days at your restaurant have come to an end.

Wow Denny's way to go!!! Plain clothes detectives in the city of Belleville, Illinois decide to patronize the local restaurant and are treated like criminals. Police officers that risk their lives everyday. Supposedly after a diner complained they are asked to remove their weapons or leave, because they are following department policy they cannot remove their weapons.

Their badges were visible and they identified themselves and were still asked to leave! So once again anyone carrying a weapon is presumed to be evil. I cannot believe a place of business would not welcome a police presence, I am not a police officer nor am I related to any, or close friends with anyone in law enforcement.

Now you claim it is a misunderstanding how can that be they had badges, identified themselves and were still asked to leave. The only people I believe would feel uncomfortable with armed police would be a criminal, perhaps the person complaining had something to hide. The manager involved should be fired.

Remember these are the same police officers that serve and protect with the very weapons they had on them! Denny's should be ashamed an official apology from corporate is in order.

I went to the Denny 's on Northampton Blvd, in Norfolk, VA around 745-800 am on Friday, March 29, 2013, which happened to be my birthday and I was going to get my birthday grand slam. We walked in the restaurant and there were 3 tables full and 1 waitress on the floor.

She said I will be right with you, went to the back got a full tray of drinks for 2 of the tables brought them back delivered them, about 5 minutes later, and again said BE RIGHT WITH YOU, instead of saying seat yourself or something like that...so finally after about 10 more minutes, we LEFT!!!

I was so upset because she should have had someone there with her....instead of still waiting on the tables, and it was NOT BUSY!!!!.....This is not the first time I have encountered this problem with this restaurant, but it will be the LAST time i go there. .. Obviously it is POOR MANAGEMENT....NOT TO HAVE 2 WAITRESSES FOR THE BREAKFAST HOUR....please!!!!

So finally my friend said lets go over to the Newtown Road one, which we did....We walked in the place, and got seated as soon as we sat down, and the service was EXCELLENT....I spoke to the manager there and they said they have heard that several times about the one on Northampton.... you all need to get better MANAGEMENT there.......

I was in the denny's sunday february 24th in the evening and the dirty person cooking was discusting and servicce was to be desired. we had to ask several times for refills of coffee, extra napkins and waited for service. tried again tuesday february 26th in the morning with a party of 26 and the floors were wet and dirty, coffee cups dirty, and waited for almost an hour for coffee because they "only have 1 coffee pot. alsso didn't take our orders and when they did take the orders, there was a very rude and nasty server that wasn't even helping had to mouth off to a few of the patrons. another thing one of the men went into the restroom and said there was mold growing on the urinal. discusting!!! i have been in there before and cups still had lipstick on cups that were supposed to be clean. ugh. another thing there was water all over the floor behind the counter and surprised the servers didn't fall. wish you would clean up or close your restaurant. not fit to even go there.

My boss vincent ford has had a sexual relationship with a employee thats young enough to be his daughter, the way they carry on on the job is sickning, and to have her tell me she got pregnant by him how degrading now i see why he didnt mind her working overtime,if i got off at 1 he want me gone bt 1:15 her she will work hrs over, i think that no manager should stoop to that level should this be accepted ? Not only do i know but cooks, and other servers has witness this is just a shame i see where sleep ur way to the top come in at .im going to go much further with this complaint it dont stop here,people should know what goes on behind the doors of dennys

Denny's #7287, Santee, CA. When I ordered the senior turkey dinner at 12:48 pm yesterday, I was told I could not have the green beans and that they did not come with the dinner even though they were shown in the picture. I then changed my order to the regular priced dinner (9.49) in order to get the beans. The waitress came back and told me that they were out of green beans for the turkey dinner. So, I changed my order to the senior dinner (7.59). The salad had a strip of cellophane in it (ugh!) and I had to insist that I be given a new salad.....the wait staff was reluctant to do this as they stood gaping at the strip of cellophane and trying to figure out what it was! The manager checked on us a few minutes later and said no apology and did nothing. The turkey, dressing, and potatoes were so bad that I couldn't eat it and just sat it aside. My husband paid the bill so it wasn't until this morning when I looked at my receipt that I saw that I was charged for the regular priced dinner! After clearly telling both wait staff that I was changing to the senior price since they were out of beans, no one bothered to change the receipt. I am FURIOUS at the really poor service, the bad food, and the lack of consideration! Is there anybody at #7287 in charge of quality?! I was charged the regular price for the senior portion... The way I see it, Denny's owes me and my three friends a refund!

Hello today i took my wife and kids to the new Dennys in East los angeles on the corners of cesar chavez and mednik first of we sat down the weiter took 15min to take our order when he did he seemd kinda bothered becouse i asked twice for service then he comes to take our order he brings a hot skillet in front of my 8 month old son then tells us be careful guys he could of burned my sons hands then we wait another 20 min for the food it comes cold and the weiters hands were dirty gross to top it off i wanted to use the restroom but it was just as bad.a a park in skidrow toilets were full of paper not flushed the urinal was baged with urin in it the trash can full of napkins to the rim and on the floor

Dennys at the Flying J truck stop in Pearl/Flowood, Ms. Waited 45 min. for a to go order. Finally got our food and left going down the road. Food was not right. Called to complain. Debra answered the phone, listened to my complaint and she said"Let me get a manager." Rhonda got on the phone. I asked her was she the manager and she said she was. I told her my complaint at which point she started arguing with me. I asked her for the corporate number 4 or 5 times before she gave it to me. I said thank you very much( boiling mad by now) and hung up. One minute later my phone rings, I answer it and the woman says, "This is Debra, the manager at Denny's. Apparently Rhonda did not satisfy you. How can I help you?" I said, This is Debra? The same Debra that answered the phone, listened to my complaint and then put Rhonda one the phone as the manager Debra? She replied yes and that she was the manager but she was busy taking inventory. Uugghhh!!! They kept wanting me to turn around and come back. I didn't have time to wait 45 min much less turn around and go back. But even after the extended and unnecessary wait and the food being wrong what gets me the most is the manager heard my complaint and then passed me off to somebody else. VERRRRY poor way to do business. I will Not go back and give them another penny of my hard earned money and I Will tell all ky other truck driver friends of this horrible experience.

My boyfriend and I went into Denny's in casa grande AZ and the service was horrible and the food was cold. My boyfriend got breakfast and all of it was cold, the bacon eggs pancakes and hash browns. Gross much? All the servers were goofing around they really didn't seem to care about their guest. Our food sat there for a good ten minutes Til she brought it to us. Will never go there again. Maybe they will learn to hire good help.

Very disappointed with your food quality with the chicken Wrap.
I was dining last night and order the chicken wrap and it was gear, so I brought my whole family tonight to get disappointed with the product they served the chicken was diced in small pieces??? And hardly any sauce on it and covered with lots of lectuce.
When I mentioned it to the server she said she will get the manager, we waited for 15 minutes no show from MAnager or the server.
Is this how you take care of your customers. Sad to see your business going in that direction.
Our food went cold and the whole experience will be shared with all the people we will encounter during our holiday time.
Thank you

Today on Jan 8th 2013 me my wife and son came to eat at Dennys and received rude. She was not very attentive and did not inform us of anyway to talk to a manager when asked.. And I ordered the new mozzerella grilled cheese with the new frIes and litterally got the smallest portion if fries i have ever received. And upon telling the waitress, she told me there was nothing she could do about it..
Im also unhappy with the small end piece of bread I got..
The Denns's I ate at was on Somersviille Rd. In Antioch, Ca. And we spent $26.18

I live in Alberta, Canada and vacation in Florida for over four months every year. When we drive down and back we always make a point of stopping at a Denny's for a meal. The food is the same from one location to another and we can always expect a comfortable and satisfying meal.
Today my wife and I along with two friends stopped at the Titusville Denny's located in the Ramada at approximately noon for a light lunch. There were about a dozen tables occupied and none with more than four patrons. The drink order was taken quickly but it took a longer time to place the order of one chili dish, one senior cheese sandwich and one moons over my hammy. Another long wait and eventually the order arrived. The moons dish was perfect, the chili was cold and the cheese sandwich was so cold it had congealed. Those orders were sent back and obviously "nuked" as the chili had localized hot patches and the cheese sandwich was like cardboard. Over an hour passed before we actually got the order. Two cooks were on and observations showed the waitresses were not at fault as the orders took so very long to be produced. The waitress did mention they has past problems with the heaters. We did raise a concern with the manager who told us that she had actually been in the cook area helping the cooks. Dripping vents from the air conditioner, a poor manager and inept cooks do not inspire us to ever return.

I'm a regular customer at Denny's on Sunset and sometimes I come in to just take a break and get some tea. I know a lot of the employees there from the years I've been going there and the customers that are regulars like me. Last night a drunk couple and their friends came in the restaurant. I had finished eating at the bar and took a seat in the lobby where others were. I knew the guy who was with the crew. The girl was drunk and kept walking in and our and they started arguing. Well the girl got in the officer's face and he told her he'll arrest her. So I'm shocked, I get my phone to update my status to a crazy night and the chic thinks I'm taking a pic. I told her I wasn't and was on FB. So she's calms down then she starts again like she wants to start a fight with the guy they came with. All of this is in front of me less than a foot. So she starts with me and I'm like you're drunk go home. Didn't touch the girl at all and my friend calls me saying her boss said I couldn't come back up there! In respect to mg friend Denny's can forget my money, but I wasn't the drunk and loud person. I was a customer. I feel like because I'm there at least 4 times a month I was singled out. No police report saying I'm banned from the restaurant, I feel it's unfair and my friend whose a manager it put in an unfair situation as well. I could say that the Denny's on Sunset is very

I am/was a frequent customer for about ten years at your Mechanicsburg, PA store. Over the years this store has gone up and down in quality but recently it is at an all time low due to many valuable employees leaving the store or quitting Denny's altogether. Current management there is horrible and the waitstaff leaves much to be desired both in skill and personality. Current management has no idea how your 50 States app works and told me I could not use any discounts or free items because the promotion had ended when in fact it continues until June 03, 2013. The menu portion has ended but the discounts and check ins have not. She was a newer girl and was really rude to me and my guests. I had rather poor service but it turned rude and upsetting when the manager informed me I could not use my app coupon for Denny's 50 State Challenge because it was over. I told her my app said it was still valid and I showed her my coupon on my phone that said it was valid until the next day. She then started slamming stuff around and told me that she was doing this for me one time and that's it. She told me to delete my app and I told her I certainly would because after ten years of coming there, I would not be back. She was incredbly rude about the whole thing especially since this is a pretty big promotion to be MISINFORMED about! Makes me wonder how she treats her employees. It's incredibly sad that a year ago this restaurant was doing so well and now it is so bad. It has become dirty, unfriendly and I don't think I'll be returning especially since there are so many other restaurants nearby that are consumer friendly.

My husband and I eat at dennys (store #6861) all the time and last night we went there to get some dinner and it took the cook 25 minutes to get our food out to us and there was only one other couple in there eating right before us! Each time we go there its always a hassle either getting our coffee or getting our food cooked properly and the service is so bad and there are always people in there causing fights that come from the Buzz bar and last night there was a guy that come in that was drunk and was demanding service and got rude and ignorant with a lady out that just came in to eat because she was standing in his way and your employees did nothing to help the lady. The man had actually cursed the elder lady and she was very upset and my husband had said something to the man about being rude to a woman in front of him and the man then threatened my husband to beat him up and none of your employees did anything about it except tell the man to sit down and be quiet. If it was properly handled which it wasnt the man who was being a nuisance should have been asked to leave but he wasnt so i really dont think we will be back there to eat at your restuarant again.

In Sunbury, oh my food took 45 minutes to be served. Breakfast food at that. Then the food was undercooked because they had realized they lost the order. Had to send hash browns back. When the waitress brought them back I was finished eating. Then they tried to charge me for the darn things. Not only did they not apologize they acted as if I was in the wrong! The whole time I was waiting my waitress never once came by. I had to call for her all 3 times I needed something. Not only will I not darken another Denny's door I will make it my mission to deter anyone I can from going there. This is the worst I have ever been treated by restaurant personnel in my 47 years.

My parents have frequented a local Denny's for years. That was up until 5 weeks ago when my dad passed away. I also, there son had frequented this restaurant with them as well as continued taking my mother in there since my dad has passed. Now the only way my mother can get to this restaurant is by me because she is wheel chair bound. In my frequenting this restaurant with my mother I had met this waitress. I had asked her out and we had dated for approximately 3 1/2 months. We had since broke up. Approximately a month ago I went in for breakfast and requested to sit in a different servers section not to have any contact with my ex-girlfriend. I left without incident. After my ex got off of her shift she went to the police department and filed a complaint That I was harassing her. they had contacted me by phone and stated I was know longer allowed to go up there when she was working. 3 weeks later, but not the first, I took my mother up there knowing what the ex's shift is, took her there on her day off. We went in there and was seated by one of our regular waitresses. Approximately ten minutes later we found out by our waitress my ex was called in to manage and that she believed my ex called the police on me. I immediately got my mother in her wheel chair and took her back out to the car. Just as I got her in it 3 police cars surrounde

Good Morning, I would like to put a complain on the Dennys located in El Paso, Tx on 9567 Dyer st 79924. My family and I went in for breakfast today on the 14 of January 2013, and the staff treated us horrible we waited in the lobby for 5 minutes, finally the lady at the register told us to sit where ever. She seemed like she didn't want to be at work which is clearly not our fault.

We sat at a booth and were waiting for a waitress which never came to welcome us, nor give us menus . We waited for a good 10 minutes and the waitresses were helping all the other tables except ours. After noticing that we were not getting service my family and I got up and left.

This experience gave me a different perspective of the restaurant and more than likely I would not go to a Denny's again. My suggestion is to hire more enthusiastic staff that are happy they have a job instead of people that dread going to work and take it out of the customers.

Restaurant #8682 was a quick stop for a salad. Worst decision ever!!! While the server was pleasant enough, her attention to detail sucked!!!! I ordered the Dixie Fried Chicken salad with holding the onions while opting to have the cheese and the salad dressing on the side. My order was to go, not to dine in. When I received the order, the cheese and the dressing were on the top in a different container which fooled me, because once I got to my destination ans opened the container I was very upset to say the least. My salad was flooded with dressing , so much so I barely saw any foliage. The chicken was so hard and dry and minced up so tiny it might as well have been bacon bits!!! The lettuce was soft and mushy and had a lot of brown spots all over!!!! The salad was disgusting and a waste of $10.

On May 6, 2013. We went to our usual Denny's Resturaunt at 3096 Aloma Ave, Winter Park Fl. for a late breakfast. It was very empty but it was Monday. We were promptly seated then the issues started. A waiter named John, and a waitress name terry were working We were seated in John's sections, but after 20 minutes wait Terry came over to see what drinks we would like, We explained we also wanted to order. She took our orders, no conversation, suggestions or anything , 15 minutes go bye again and then John comes over to take our drink order. We explained Terry had already taken our complete order.

10 more minutes to get our Sweet Tea and Coffee. In the mean time a table behind us has 3 adults and 3 kids trying to speak with Terry because their order is all messed up and what they did get right was COLD. She didn't do anything (whether she new how or what to ask she sent Manager over) He didn't even apologize or ask he could get anything else or refire the food. he just stood there. he walks away and they all walked out. Well our food had still nto come and we are getting ready to get up and walk out. Nobody came by to ask how things were, or offer more coffee or anything.

It was like watching everything in slow motion. Nobody cleaned tables, reset tables or anything. After what seems like an eternity or our food finally comes after sitting up on hot plates waiting for somebody to deliver it. We get our food and are more dissappointed,y i could only eat my hashbrowns and coffee, everything was cold. My husband was so hungry he ate, but i couldn't Terry the waitress comes by to give check, she says, "here's your check, when ready pay at register" No questions about how is food or anything.

So from the time our order was placed in the machine, and we got the check 48 mnutes had passed not taking into consideration all the time before our order. We are weekly visitors on the weekends at this Denny,bu tnow i don't know if i will even return. We asked to speak with the Store Manager when we went to the register and hes like what do you want me to do, he took only $3,00 off our check, He didn't care or anything. I was expecting my meal at least to be taken off, but just $3.00. It will be along time till i even consider going back to Denny's.

My family usually eat at Denny's especially after our night out affairs. Today, 1/11/13 at 1:53am the food served to me was not satisfying. I ordered the Latin dish pork chop. The beans looks like a soup beans ~ very different as shown in the picture. The rice is not cooked. You would feel the hard grains. The. Pork chop does not have taste at all and cooked very light brown. As much as I want to return my food, I'm scared of returning it coz my sister complained about the manager who was so unprofessional when our food were being served, I'm worried if I return it, they might mess with it. And since its past 1:00 am with no dinner yet, I have to just have to bare with it. We were in a different state at Orlando and Denny's were one of the familiar place to go to near our hotel. Maybe, we should have transferred to IHOP instead but we just feel bad about our server who was too nice serving our family.
