Our server Gabriel was incredibly positive, friendly, and uplifting. The service was fast, the food was well made, and the table was clean. If you’re looking for a place to relax from your roadtrip and get a good meal with good vibes, go here. The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 were the bathrooms weren’t the cleanest.

For a Dennys, it was clean. Wait staff was friendly and courteous food came out hot and fresh

Let's get this out of the way. The servers and bussers are doing their best. Diego was working hard and doing a great job.
I want to make it very clear that management has ruined this place.
This used to be my favorite stop up the 5, they even had all you can eat pancakes when no other Denny's did. I used to recommend this place to my friends. The staff has always been amazing and has gone above and beyond, but it seems like management has either changed or just become significantly worse.
Menu prices are significantly marked up compared to the same items at other locations. I understand their logic, it's a travel location after all, but I should be paying an additional $7 for every basic slam and $6 for a side of hash.
Best of all though, get this- a $0.50 hidden surcharge for EGG PLATES. The plates that literally COME WITH THE SLAM. Not only are the prices already marked way up, but they manage to nickel and dime you on top of that.
The lead or owner (couldn't really tell, didn't have any sort of uniform or badge or anything, just some really heavy perfume) was yelling at the staff during a breakfast rush when they were doing their best with the few people they had on the floor.
I don't even go out of my way to give restaurants reviews very often, especially not negative ones, so make no misunderstanding that when I say I hate this place, I really do hate this place. It's disappointing how one of our favorite breakfast stops has changed so much.

I took my mother here to eat the other day while we were traveling down south for her chemotherapy appointment. My mother was very tired and needed to eat, these days she struggles to eat so when she wanted Denny’s breakfast slam I was thrilled. When we walked into the establishment I noticed they had just wiped down the waiting benches and they were very wet, I asked an older woman if she could please a section so my mother could sit down while we waited to our table. The woman smacked her lips together and, in a very strong middle eastern accent she yelled at us to wait a minute. The only reason I mentioned the accent was because I didn’t understand her and asked her to repeat herself. She turned around and raised her voice telling us to wait. The restaurant was basically empty and she was the only staff member at the front. She walked to the back and didn’t return for 10 minutes, leaving my weak 82 year old mother standing there. So I helped my mother to a booth and had her sit and we waited, and waited. Finally after about 15 minutes the rude woman came back out and told us that we had to move to the other side of the restaurant because that side was closed. I asked her if she could make an exception and she said”no now please move to other side.” At this point I was furious at how she treated us and asked for a manager. She informed me that she was the manager and said,” why do you have problem with me?” My mother, being such a loving and caring woman, asked if we could order please. The managers response was okay what you want? We hadn’t even been given menus, silverware not even a cup of water. At this point my mother and I got up and left, as I was helping my mother to the door, I heard the manager say that we came in and made a mess and now she has to clean up after us for nothing. If the service is this bad, I can’t even imagine how horrible the food must be. I will be making an official report to their head offices.

This order was supposed to be a steak, medium rare, mashed potatoes and a side of gravy. I called as soon as we got home because it was a takeout order to complain about it, however, the restaurant had already closed. So I called first thing the next morning with pictures and food in hand And was told I had to wait until the next day when the head manager was there. We took in the photos of the food and she actually asked us what was wrong with it that it looked fine to her. After happening to call corporate to complain about. Our treatment there the manager finally agreed to only replace the steak not the meal. Then she managed to blame us for her cooks error. I have never been treated so badly over someone else’s mistake. We have been loyal customers to this Dennys basically since it opened. We eat there at least three times a week. So to be blamed and mistreated the way that I was and the way that my husband was was unacceptable. The replacement mistake that was also supposed to be medium rare was fully cooked and dry And again she somehow managed to figure out how to blame us because her chef did not properly know how to make a steak. Now, before this complaint, we only complain one other time years ago about overcooked pancakes, and she proceeded to throw that in our face like again it was our fault her chef Messed up. The woman manager is inconsiderate, rude, and very disrespectful. If you are getting it to go menu or meal, please make sure you check it before you leave..

Our server was great, but that's the only thing good about this placd. The bathrooms were disgusting and had trash thrown everywhere (there were 2 other families aside from mine in the entire restaurant). The food was gross. The mashed potatoes had a weird texture and were tangy, the brocolli was overcooked and tasted burnt, the garlic bread was soggy on the bottom but crunchy on top. I don't know it was just weird. Honestly it is the worst Denny's I have ever had. I would not recommend, and we paid over $20 for each plate of food. I don't see how this location is still open.
Jody Kerkove
The server Gabriel was very nice. Food with prepared exactly as requested. All the staff was really nice The restaurant's really clean and the food was good
Yasmin Juarez
Had dinner and had a young man be extra attentive with our meals. One thing that we enjoyed is that we weren’t rushed or felt rushed. We wanted to eat and enjoy. If we wanted fast, I would’ve simply driven into a drive thru. Thank you!

I paid $21 for this salad, and it came with visibly rotten avocado — brown, mushy, and completely inedible (see photo). For the price, I expected fresh ingredients and basic quality control. Extremely disappointing. I won’t be ordering from here again

Growing up in the slums of Chicago, I remember the day my parents came home, unaware of the tragedy about to unfold. We sat down, ready to eat a chunk of beef bought from a local butcher shop. I recall seeing my father and mother take that first bite together, excited for a life filled with good meals.
Until their eyes widened, their throats tightened, and my world changed forever.
As they gasped and pleaded with their eyes, I attempted the well-known Heimlich maneuver. But it wasn’t enough, my weak, childish arms weren’t enough. The cow’s dead flesh had taken the lives of my own flesh and blood.
Since that fateful day, steak became a source of fear for me. I refused to let the meat of a heifer or bull touch my plate.
Until today.
The rich, caramelized sauce shimmered under the soft light, promising pure indulgence. This wasn’t just a steak, it was a masterpiece, cooked with precision and plated with care. The first bite had the perfect crunch, crisp yet delicate, giving way to meat so tender it nearly melted on my tongue. Every bite was packed with deep, layered flavors, a result of expert seasoning, careful aging, and the perfect balance of fat, salt, and heat.
The juices, sealed in by the chef’s skilled hands, flowed slowly with each cut, coating my mouth in buttery richness with just a hint of smokiness. A whisper of rosemary and garlic lingered in the background, enhancing the beef’s natural sweetness without overpowering it. My knife slid through effortlessly, proof of its perfect doneness, medium-rare, kissed by fire but never betrayed by it.
The last bite was just as breathtaking as the first, leaving behind the memory of its silky texture and deep, savory warmth. As I sat in quiet satisfaction, only the final streaks of sauce remained on the plate, a testament to a meal that was nothing short of extraordinary.
The chef behind this steak deserves more than just praise, this was more than cooking, it was a transformation. Turning a simple cut of beef into something unforgettable is no small feat. The tenderness of the meat spoke volumes about the care that had gone into raising the animal, the best feed, the highest standards, the most humane treatment. Eating a steak of this caliber was more than just a meal, it was an experience, a moment where food transcended mere sustenance and became something truly sublime.
Each bite carried not just the chef’s expertise but also a deep respect for the animal and the craft, making this dinner a true celebration of care, quality, and culinary artistry.
I’ve bore the burden of my parent’s death, chained by the past, and scared to experience the future. This Denny’s, and Marcos steak, have let me finally live. The slums of Chicago are simply whispers in the wind, flying through the air of memories.
