Denny's Complaints Continued... (Page 7)

Thsi restaurant has the worst service of any Denny's I have been to. I was just in there and left( right behind another couple that left) There were 2 tables of 6 and 2 tables of 2 in there. it took 10 minutes to get a coffee, and it was brought to me on a small dinner plate with the coffe spilled on it. He took it back, I waited another 5 minutes,no coffee and no order! I have gone in there around 6 at night, with one guy only working! I am not kidding, this place is terribly run. I drove to the Dr nys on State street, Santa Barbara..this one is a gem.

We went to Denny's on North State Line Ave in Texarkana, Ark. There was no one to seat us to start with. We finally took a booth. The booths around us were dirty. Even though there were few people there. No one waited on us. The dish washer eventually brought us menus.

We never received water or had our order taken. One waitress took water to one table. The other stood at the register and talked to her friends. The first one then took a cell phone call and never got up again. Eventually my wife and I, as well as another customer got up and walked out.

We ate at a competitor across the street. They said they got a lot of business that way. It was 5AM on a Sunday morning andwe wasted 30-45 Moises of our time. No more Denny's for us.

When walking in this morning into the dennys located at 9545 W Flagler st I was prepared to wait for a table as well as for my food but I was not prepared to be skipped while waiting for a table because the gentleman at front serving as the host was calling the wrong name or to be treated as if I was out of line for pointing out that my husband, young child and I were skipped. Nor was I prepared to wait while sitting at the table for over 20 minutes to be acknowledged by a waitress who's walked by our table at least 10 times now or to have to flag down a bus boy just to get a glass of water. I understand that they are busy but at the very least I expected to be acknowledged and told that they would be with me soon. It has now been 30 minutes and throughout the process of my writing this message I have yet to be tended to.

Today was the worst experience I have ever had at a Denny's Restaurant before! When I came in the GM was taking a smoke break in the front right next to the door & followed us in only to begin yelling at the employees to take our orders. Every employee was new with exception to only a couple & boy did they seem stressed. He took our order, and had a unexceptional attitude. We ordered the build your own burgers and some pancake puppies, waited about 30-40 minutes for two burgers! Our FOOD sat on the counter for at least 10 minutes and to make that worse the pancake puppies that were given out the first time were about as dark as the jet black box that they served them in. When asked politely could they redo them, the chef agreed but the general manager went on a wild tangent on me & an employee!!! He stepped in the kitchen, held the batter bucket up and said "this is why they are dark, but I will still cook them". Everyone began to look at him in a crazed manner. Within 2 minutes tossed some up in a to go box with a complete disregard for who may have been on the other side. The puppies were only browned just a tad on the outside and completely undone on the inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow thanks Mr. Mamul for the best late night dinner & customer service I have ever had! *sarcastically said in every instance*

Just had the worst experience ever at a Dennys. Waitress very rude and did not get order right. Tried to blame it on us to the manager. Said already put order in and could not change 3 orders of french toast to french toast meal (had added each side as al la cart). Meals oredered with toast did not receive toast until meal completely eaten, did not receive grits or hash browns on 3 meals until half of what was brought out was eaten. Six people had water, one had coffee and one dr pepper. When asked for refills, waitress brought out 1 glass of water and the cup of coffee. When other 5 asked for water waitress said " I haven't even waited on that table yet! Will get you a pitcher of water to keep on table, just don't make a mess"..ages at table ranged from 15 to 66 years of age. What an insult to injury. Daughter had to go up to cash register to finally get the toast. When waitress brought 2 of tickets to table, told manager was still trying to figure out the wrong orders on third ticket (1 1/2 hrs. after order taken), then proceeded outside to "smoke". At least 10 more minutes of waiting. the waitress came back inside and ask if we needed anything. When reminded waiting for 3rd ticket, she went to register and rang up a receipt and gave a $6.00 coupon to be used later because couldnot figure out how to "fix " what she had put in. Yes, it was a very busy night after Friday night HS football, but no excuse for rudeness or bad service. The waitress made excuses to the whole section we sat in that she was in charge of. Would leave in middle of taking orders because she would remember what she was suppose to already have done! Our table of 8 would not even had gotten silverware if it had not been for another waitress seeing our needs when food brought out! Manager was not seen in the 2 hours we were in Denneys except for when waitress brought her to table to see if order could be corrected after waitress put it in, useless!!!! The Denneys I'm complaining on in on East Dixon Blvd., Shelby, N.C. which my family has been going to since it has been open. Will probably try The Waffle House from now on.

I ordered a simple grilled cheese sandwich with fries. What I got was two pieces of buttered toast with a slice of cold cheese, straight from the refrigerator, of course, in the middle. The fries were less than half cooked. All of this was served without silverware and a napkin. Despite asking for them. And the manager was "awfully busy right now so she can't take your complaint. She also won't get any more of my business.

Really upsetting when the restaurant requires you to print up the coupons that are on my iPhone app when there is a code that they get from the app and they can enter it into the register without printing out a coupon. They had taken it before and entered it and now there is a sign on the door that they require a printed out coupon and will not accept coupons that are on the I phone without it being printed out....what is the sense in having the app then in the first place especially for us that have no printer. Wish Dennys would get together on this and before offering anything like this all need to agree to it....in the beginning some had not even heard about the app and had to ask th to inquire about how the 50 states challenge works for their restaurant...I have 11 coupons on my app and cannot even use them now. I am so disappointed because I eat at dennys quite often and cannot take advantage of these coupons that I have earned. Makes me want to find a different eating establishment that will stand behind their offers.

on 2/12/2013 my grandmother and I came into Denny's located at 110 Bonita RD Chula Vista, CA 91910 . I was served food off of a dirty plate. i noticed it after i had consumed almost a majority of my food. once i noticed it i brought it to the waitress attention. I specifically told her this is how people get food poison. They removed the fee for that item i purchased, but we honestly we do not know if every plate we ate off of was dirty as to the silverware. i noticed dried up green stuff under may pancakes. if i didn't remove my pancakes to another plate i wouldn't of know that i was eating off a dirty plate. I am curious that when the plate was plated did the chef see that the plate was dirty? i felt the whole bill should of been dismissed and we should of got a gift card to eat a free meal at our leisure, at any location we chose. i haven't called the health department yet because i wanted to address this issue with your company first. Thanks , Angela order#617971 table 16 guest 2 server Alejandra D. i do not blame he server as much as i blame the person who plated the plates.

Me and my wife sat in the parking lot 8/17/2023 about 7:30sm a car pulls up you can't see in our windows so we watched a female passenger and a man driver drinking little wine bottles. To my surprise the passenger was a waitress at Dennys. I'm a business owner myself. This real disturbed me while they drank wine an used the n word about 100 times. The passenger get out and she's a server. I tell my wife let's go sit in her section. Not only did she smell like a bar her additive was crazy. we heard her cursing under her breath every time she walked away. She had a cell phone that kept ringing that was more important to her. That's sad I would never hire someone to represent my company like that. Her name was Natasha Jackson. The alcohol on her breath was so loud it ruined our appetite. Our kids were disappointed in the service. We got ready to leave we hear naytasha threatened an other waitress there. The other waitress had tears coming down her face. Thank you. Worst drunk waitress.

My family and I was going to eat at Denny's in Franklin, Ky. We were waiting to be seated and no one even acknowledged we were even there. After about 20 minutes or so, the people that came in right in front of us was taken to their seats and then the hostess came to us and told us we were goingto have to wait til they had time to clean tables and it will be at least another 15 mins . There were a dozen plus tables empty and wasn't any reason to make us wait any longer. I told her we were not waiting and she acted happy we weren't. Well Denny's, I am sure Cracker Barrel was glad to get our $50.OO plus. You need to give your employee some training in customer satisfaction. This happen March 17, 2013 about 1pm

The wireless internet service for Denny's restaurants in the Columbia,SC area has not been working for over a month now. This service is provided to Denny's by TurnKey Solutions. ALL customers with laptops or tablets are unable to get past the login screen, indicating a network problem affecting several locations causes by software failure or corruption or physical failure of a router or server at a regional level.

The manager of the store on Fairfield Rd. in Columbia has made several efforts to get this looked into by Turnkey Solutions, who don't take this matter seriously because she isn't a networking or IT specialist. Well I am one. This problem is causing a lot of dissatisfaction among regular customers and truck drivers who expect a working internet connection at Denny's nationwide.

It's also costing the restaurant to lose customers, and money. Prompt attention to this matter at the corporate level would be greatly appreciated.

we arrived at 9:24 p.m. four employee's at register and none seated us for several minutes nor would make any acknowledgement that we were there later one told one so seat us...it took about 25 minutes to get our order and not but a few in Denny's. Toast had been crushed before toasting, bacon had no taste and half of one piece was missing, waiter spilled tea in a large mess on table and walked away not bothered to clean it up..lots of talking from kitchen with breaking dishes...coffee poured with lots of bubbles like someone really shaking it for a while before bringing it unknown why.....never seen that before... to a foam..on top...order number 307014 did not want tip on card unsure what happened when I left I didn't say anything to employee's about service. I would rather have you handle it seems to make a difference because I feel Denny's corporate office cares we eat a lot at different Denny's and you can see problems if present...this was at Canton Texas on i20.

On January 25, 2015, I took my handicapped mother to the Denny's Restaurant at 1140 Hillsdale Ave., San Jose, CA 95118. It was 10:00am and the restaurant was not full, yet I had to sign-in. When I signed in, I put I wanted a booth. Although there were booth available, the waitress that came to seat us, purposely put us at a half table in an area that was not a good spot for my mother with weak knees and a cane to sit. When asked for an available booth, the waitress rudely said no. At this point, we left. The waitress was rude and seemed to take pleasure in telling us we could not seat in a booth. What kind of customer service is this; especially when Denny's is an AARP company and my mother is 80 years old. Rude, horrible, obnoxious behavior by a waitress.

On 1-14-2015 I ate at the Denny's in west Memphis Arkansas that is I the flying j truckstop. I wasn't greeted whatsoever... And then had to wait over 10 minutes to place my drink order. Stellar service indeed!! Then when I placed my order.. I seemed to have aggravated the very rude and RACIST girl.. As she muttered "white motherfucker" walking away. Never again will I step foot in this or any other Denny's..

I slipped and fell in their store. They didn't check to see if I was ok. They all just all called me a laid and walked away.

My wife and I went to Denny’s in Hemet, CA #7081. March 27th 2014. I had “cowboy steak” with hash brown and pancake sides with coffee included. Meal was excellent as it always is. Service was excellent. However we didn’t finish our orders, so we asked for “2 doggie bags”.. waitress brought them. We boxed them. I paid the bill , went to restroom , then went to table to leave tip and pick up doggie bags.. They were gone. I went to the manager and asked for them. She came back and told me they had been thrown away. I am very sad and disappointed. I have been a customer of Denny’s for over 40 years. I feel I should have coupons for our next meals at Denny’s. Thank you. Clifford Allen 435 Northwood Avenue, Banning, CA 92220.

My husband and I love Denny’s and always treated very nicely but not today. First of all, we had to wait to be seated. Not too crowded but still had to wait. We were placed into a booth where the seats were torn. We got up and moved to the next cleaner/nicer table. Our waitress left to get us coffee which we had to wait for some time.

Our waitress then seated two more people across the way from us . She then returned to give them their drinks but we never got ours. We got up to leave when she approached us and told us a new pot was brewing. Why didn’t she come back to tell us that? We do believe that was a down right lie. I asked for the manager and when she came out the first thing she told us was “Well you changed seats, didn’t you? Why did that matter. I told her the reason we changed because the seat was all torn and broken. The manager was not nice to us at all. Whatever happened to the customer comes first?

The gentleman that is usually the manager we see, is very very nice and we know he would have handled the situation differently. Makes you wonder, how this woman got to be the manager as she was not very clean looking. We left knowing we will never return to that Denny’s again. The manager left and picked up for the waitress and blaming us for changing seats. Shame on that manager and blaming us when the blame should have been put on the waitress who failed to return with our coffee. Put the blame where the blame should be. Thought Denny’s should be made aware of this situation. Also maybe take a run over there and see that it definitely needs a good cleaning.

restaurant # 6425 The first complaint is we found a hair in our dish, second is there was no toilet paper in the womens handicapped stall, third was the sink in the ladies room was ready to fall off the wall, and last but not least the manager did not even offer an apology for all these flaws or give us a break on the price, very very very rude of her, she should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Restaurant #8006 14697 Duval Rd, Jacksonville, Fl 3261. The grits was cold, the entire meal was not at serving temperature my wife meal was not fit for human cosumption. Restroom dirty. Parking area was filty, dumpter running over uncovered very unpleasant view. My wife insisted that we leave a three ($3.00) dollar tip. The cost of the meal was sixteen dollars and ninty-eight cent ($16.98). With tax eighteen dollars and seventeen cents ($18.17). We had table grace over the food and left it on the table. Thanks in advance for helping me with Denny's contact information.

When we entered the restaurant, the wait was not long to be seated. Once we were seated, after about 10 minutes, I had to ask for a waiter so we could order silverware,drinks and food. It took 10 minutes to get our drinks and another 20 minutes to get our silverware and food. Our food was incorrect and we had to go and get the waiter to let him know. About 10 minutes later he brought our correct order minus our toast. I did ask him for the toast and he said that it would be ready shortly. After we called the waiter to our table for our ticket, he brought the toast as we were walking to the cash register. During our entire visit to Denny’s we were watching the manager. (Kim) People were coming in asking for applications.

She was laughing and telling them that they were out of applications. We also noticed how much time she spent at the register laughing and flirting with the male customers, while being short with the female customers. She at NO time walked around checking on the employees or checked with any customers to see how things were going. There were several customers complaining about the service when I went to the register to pay for our food.. The manager was unconcerned (with her attitude) and rude. (short with words and unapologetic) Several employees had dirty and wrinkled cloths. I spoke to her with my concerns and she again appeared to be unconcerned. I asked for her managers name and number.

She gave me a number that I still have not been able to reach anyone on. This matter happened on 09/06/13 and today is 09/20/13. I called the restaurant today and spoke to Julia who asked Kim for her bosses number for a customer who had a complaint. Kim said” We can not give out that information.”This Denny’s is opening a new restaurant near Mack Road and Stockton Blvd. in Sacramento. I sure do hope that Kim is NOT the manager and that the employees are clean and have better customer service skills. Kim needs customer service training. She listens but does not hear customer concerns. I hope that whoever reads this takes a better role of customer satisfaction then Kim did.

My wife and I travel the I5 corridor quite often, visiting our children at college. We stop at Denny’s quite often, because it is familiar. Recently we have recieved poor food and service at quite a few of these restaraunts. We stopped in Gustine, today, at 5:00pm. The restaraunt was uncomfortably hot and the waitresses did not seem to know we were there. The service was very slow even though there was only 4 tables with customers at them. We were very displeased and may have to stop going to Denny’s all together!

I am a regular customer at the dennys in Hempstead Texas my family visis this restaurant every weekend. tonight has to be the most horrible night I’ve experience there. we arrive there around 8:45 p.m.a party of 5. it was to be exact 4 adults and 1 child. the person that waited on us… “Quote” its my second day what do ya want to drink.

My granddaughter ordered a strawberry banana smoothie she was told we don’t have the stuff to make that. we had to ask for refills on our drinks. we never got silverware we had to ask for napkins. my son order breakfast and his plate was not complete we asked for the item that was messin they never brought it.

We asked for a order to go, the waitress told us that we could not order it until we went up to the register to pay for our food. So we ordered a bacon cheeseburger plain, when they gave it to us it had lettuce & tomatoes.then she charged us for kid plate which kids eat free between the hours of 4-10pm. It was very unpleasant!! I am very disappointed in this restaurant.

Last night (2/16/13), my friends and I went to the Denny’s on upper front st. in Binghamton NY (according to the receipt, restaurant #8194) as we do every Sat. night after bowling and we have never been so upset and disappointed. There were 5 of us and it was around 9 pm… First we waited almost 15 minutes to be seated, there were only about 7 customers in the whole place, we finally got seated and waited nearly half an hour just to have our drink orders taken. We ordered about 45 minutes after we were seated. The appetizers we ordered came out about 30 seconds before our meal, 4 of us had ordered skill it meals that were served on plates and were cold! We heard the waitresses yelling at the cooks that they were skillet meals, the cooks yelled back “oh well guess they’ll just have to eat it off a plate”! The waitress was very unpleasant and never checked to see if we needed anything. We have never been displeased with the service or food but last night was ridiculous! Even when we said the food was cold no one seemed to care. We all finished with deserts and even they were not up to par! I am afraid that if service like this continues we will NOT be visiting anymore! The rudeness was inexcusable! I rarely complain but I feel something should be done. We spent almost $80 between the five of us not including the tip, which she did NOT deserve!
