Denny’s

Clean Denny’s, waiter tried a little hard to be cool, but it was a nice experience for a big group of my family

4 stars for the staff
2 stars for the food. 1. We had to ask for hot coffee. 2. The oj was watery (no credit to our tab given). 3. Bacon was hard and had an after taste.
I have been to several Denny’s but this one will not see me again.
**** too bad cause the staff was so friendly

This Denny’s location at 17 & Carefree Highway always keeps us coming back. The food and service are always good and consistent and the managers are quick to correct any problems with the meal. They always take care of us and it’s become a regular weekly casual breakfast or dinner stop for our family.

Server kept coming back and saying «we’ll be right with you» its like really just Take our order already then we eventually got our order in after I got done eating I eat fast so when she came to get the plates she asked if my Grandma feeds me probably thinking she’s my mom and doesn’t feed me RUDE Customer Service the food was good But our waitress was very rude

Always friendly always clean always a good price. Senior meals certain days kids eat free, 20% off between two and five for seniors. Staff& waitresses very friendly and will even dance for you!

This a great location! The food is always cooked to perfection. For the last 6 months or so, we’d rather eat here than any of the other restaurants in the vicinity. I believe it has a lot to do with the way the new manager, Joel, walks around with friendly greetings, making sure that everyone is happy. Managers like that make the employees strive to impress as well. (Thank you Ryan and Robin and John!)
I’d also like to mention that the Country-​Fried Steak & Eggs Skillet — on the 2, 4, 6, 8 menu is out of this world!!!

staff is very friendly and helpful. always make you feel welcome and valued!

I love this Dennys and only this Dennys!
Very good food. The staff are excellent
Only one I ever go to the others are horrible!

This review comes on the heels of a terrible review of the Denny’s on Watson Rd. Buckeye a few months ago. My visit here was on Thu. the 13^th of Nov. Essentially I came here wanting to believe that a different Denny’s just couldn’t be as bad as the one on Watson Rd.
My hostess/​waitress, did not so much as look at me as she was still talking with her friends (in another language) in a nearby booth. She grabbed a menu and walked to a booth still never having acknowledged, looked at, or spoken to me, which might be good since I don’t speak the language they were using. When I did not follow (I genuinely thought she was doing something besides seating me, so detached was her manner) only when she had reached my assigned booth did she, at last, look at me and motion for me to come and sit down. I ordered and received orange juice and said that i needed a minute to decide. Upon which she parked herself in the booth with her friends and happily chatted away long after I was ready to order.
I became a little angry by now, I have seldom (as in NEVER) observed such arrogantly detached treatment of a paying customer. Normally I have scruples about such things as walking out without settling up. In this case I had no compunctions what so ever. This establishment put the final wooden spike in Denny’s where I am concerned, not only does their food stink, the service at this establishment surpassed all other experiences I have ever had for arrogance and «I could care less» manner.
I realize that diversity is all the rage these days, but it is extraordinarily disenfranchising to be subjected to the detached attention of someone talking in a foreign language while being in an official capacity to serve you. Tips are not a given, but instead are earned most generously by those who demonstrate a genuine willingness to serve and make a paying customer happy. Terrible service/​terrible food, this can only equate to Dennys’ final death rattle. I went to the Good Egg instead, and darn glad that I did!

Tried calling an order to go. First time I was asked to hold & the person on the other end set down the phone. After 5 minutes of hearing people talking & not being helped, I hung up. Called back about 5 mins later & it was busy (most likely because the phone was still off the hook). Waited 10 minutes & called again. Again I was asked to hold & the phone got set down. & again they forgot to come back. I wouldn’t have called back a third time (& shouldn’t have) but it was late & I really didn’t want to cook.
So finally after the third time calling, they took my order. One of the items I asked for a side of Mac & cheese but they were out. Not that big of a deal. Anyway I drive to pick up my order & they tell me that one of the meals I ordered for my husband was discontinued. He said they just sold out of the last batch. Wtf?! It was stuffed French toast that was just put on the menu for the holidays. They didn’t even offer anything for my hassle & their mistake.
Not eating there anymore. Such poor service!

Went here twice while on vacation. Friendly and Great wait staff. Lumberjack Slam and Iced Tea hit the spot after 4 Wheeling in 115 degree weather in the desert.

Staff is always super friendly, and the food is the same quality you get at every Denny’s. We like to come here when kids eat free every Tuesdays and Thursdays! Lol

Not sure what makes this Denny’s in Arizona better than any Denny’s I’ve been to in California, but it is much better. As a rule, I avoid Denny’s in California. Portions are always cheap and quality almost nonexistent. At this location in Phoenix, they always serve fair portions and the quality is good.
If you like Denny’s, you’ll really like this location. Typical menu.

Terrible unless you like lipstick on your coffee cup. Service ok. Food was ok. Why is it all Denny’s seem to attract unusual characters at night.

The manager in the evening at this Denny’s is awesome. She is so fun & personable. I have to say she made my night with her attitude. The food was good too but since I order the same thing every single time (The Superbird) I wasn’t surprised at all.

Very nice Dennys. Had the Sante Fe Skillet. The chorizo was very good. Some of the best i’ve tasted and I’ve tasted a lot. Probably deserves 5 stars compared to other restaraunts of this type. I will return there again.

This Denny’s is cleaner than a lot of other ones. There is a red box in front of it! Yay :) Its great for carefree highway lol

Denny’s vs The Good Egg
Denny’s wins every time, hands down. I’ve tried so many of both restaurants around the Phoenix metro that I can say this without hesitation.
We’ve eaten at this Denny’s many times and recommend it to our friends. They are the best option for a culinary experience you’ll remember however they can cook an awesome breakfast.
They still offer their $ 2 ~ 2 eggs, choice of meat and pancakes or toast daily for the early birds. They will cook anything to order and they will make corrections if needed quickly.
You can’t go wrong with this Denny’s especially when trying decide where to eat breakfast in the area.

The only place in very northern Phoenix that’s open at 10pm on a Sunday night when I don’t feel like cooking.
Dropped in here with my boy… it was so empty… poor server looked so bored and didn’t appear excited to know she had all night pretty much by herself because there aren’t many bars around to fill this place at 2am.
Needless to say, the service was great… a little too attentive tho. Brought out our dessert before I was even done with my onion rings… it’s like «whoa… hold on… lemme finish this first.»
Burger was pretty darn good though and of course, it’s cheap.

I’m sure there are still those who go to Denny’s for the down-​home comfort. None of those people use Unilocal.
For the rest of us, Denny’s is where we go with our goofy friends late at night when we’re feeling slap-​happy. Denny’s is kitschy fun, a parody of itself. But we still respect it in the morning, because it doesn’t try to be ironic.
What elevates this particular location to transcendent heights of camp?
It’s owned by a sex shop.
YES.
It’s owned by Lions Den.
Knowing this, every meal at this Denny’s will taste better. The juvenile jokes that are a staple of late-​night diner runs will be even more tasteless. You will be unable to look at any of the servers or patrons without thinking: «Oh my god. Do they know? Should I tell them? Did she used to do porn?»
It’s still the same Denny’s as every other Denny’s. But better, because you have a dirty mind.
