Food hit or miss. Plates could be prepared a lot more attractive instead of being thrown in plate. Place always dark not light. Too many customers not enough help. Parking available.

Good ambiance, love the music and the manager is so sweet and kind! Love miss Pat the food was decent , it wasn't the most seasoned but it was hot and steaming never a complaint on the food! I have not been to this location since last year and was surprised about the new staff the girl Tay was kind and friendly she came and helped the table when I needed extra help. My server her name started with a T tiana or Tanya she kept leaving into the bathroom most of my meal and was not very attentive to me and my sister but the other girl Tay was super kind and helpful and got my food out to us. Staff could be a bit more professional not on their phones but overall it was a good visit will come again

I'd like to start off stating I LOVE the bacon avocado cheeseburger. The food was amazing and tasted hot and fresh! I normally go to the Denny on Bladensburg but today I wanted to try the one on Benning road. The visit was a bit disturbing and I'm shocked whoever is in charge is allowing their business to be ran so unprofessional!! The service started out nice , I was greeted by a young boy who was kind and sat me and gave me my drink right away. About 5 minutes later a server named Tanya took my order but in a unfriendly way like she already had an attitude. Once I gave her my order she went directly into the bathroom and was in there for about 10/15 minutes. My food came out later than expected while the food was good the service was not professional. There was smoke coming from the woman's restroom and the female staff kept disappearing into the restroom. I feel the staff could have been a bit more accommodating. Other than that amazing food and it was a clean building.

Service was not the best and the food is always the same. But I guess this is my fault as this is just how Denny's is.

Just want to give a special shout out to Ms. Pat(Justine) for her excellent customer service and great hospitality. She always take care of me & my co- workers every time we visit the location. Ms. Pat is always kind and we look forward to seeing her. Please give Ms. Pat her flowers and a pay raise because she is amazing!

February 14th which was Valentine's Day. I decided to take my 6yr old daughter to this restaurant since it was close to my church, and we were attending service afterwards. I will never patronize their establishment again (4445 Benning Road NE, Washington, DC 20019).As a weekly customer of Denny's but at the Bladensburg location which I'm treated with top notch customer service, I was expecting the same treatment. I love the Bladensburg location so much; I even celebrated my 48th birthday party in their party-room this past October.Here's my story: While dining at the Benning Road NE DC Denny's, I was treated horribly. I'm a stickler about getting what a store or restaurant advertises...no exceptions especially if you don't inform me if there is a change or if I order something that you know as my waiter or waitress is considered an add on. So, my Princess and I were finishing up our meal and the waiter decided to bring me the check. Because I work with numbers on a daily basis, I could see there was something wrong with my total. Therefore, I pulled my phone out and began totaling the check on the phone's calculator and noticed there was indeed a difference. I brought it to the waitress attention, and she went and got the manager. So, you want to charge me almost $.69 for a half of cheese saying it's an add on. I informed the manager I was not paying that. It's not the money I had the problem with. Your waiter said children eat FREE which means the cheese was a part of the meal. I'm only paying for the two drinks and my meal. This waiter and the manager on duty got smart and I almost flipped the table but GOD.The waitress called me stupid and said I was stingy. The manager also verbally abused me in front of my daughter saying look how you are showing your daughter how to act. She said I was teaching my daughter to act poorly.All I could do was look at my daughter and began to be thankful I had been redeemed.Meanwhile, I told the manager to take my meal off the check and allow me to pay for what my daughter had eaten. Now the bill is $12.06 so I give her $13.00 and inform her to give the change to the waitress. The manager says to me "Oh no, you need your change crying over $.69. I continue to proceed to exit the store until the manager walks over to my daughter trying to hand the change to my child. Now this is where I almost lost my cool but again BUT GOD!! I told the manager she can say or do anything to me but when it comes to my child that's when I draw the line. I reached for my daughter and we left.The next day I contacted the corporate office, and I am now waiting on a return call. I will not let this end in this fashion.

I ordered the chicken melt meal with onion rings and beef with caramelized onion sandwich. Got home no onion rings and the sandwich wasn’t hot. Went back to get onion rings and I was given a container with 5 onion rings and sent about my business… wasted my time and gas
