Placed an online order which when I went to pick up had to wait almost 10 minutes while the cashier got to me. Which normally would be fine if there was only one cashier. But when you have 2 other workers doing nothing except being on their phones, that's when I have an issue with it. That's the reason I placed an online order just just go pick up. All they had to do was ask to help me which I would have told them I just needed my online order which was right there she literally just had to hand it to me after I told her my name. Instead I'm waiting, while their on their phone, waiting for the poor Hispanic guy who was doing all the work. Kudos to him but shame on those other 2 workers. When I get home the food was just trash! Missing 1 piece of my bacon!! What happened to my one piece of Bacon!!! Did that big girl on her phone eat my bacon!! Sub par absolutely the worst experience to have when I just wanted my Lumberjack Slam on the 4th of July!!! Will never return here and will recommend to my followers to do the same. What happened to this Denny's! It used to be such a great place. The servers, food, atmosphere. Now it's literal ghetto trash

Food disgusting!!!!!! NO STAR…..RL Thornton Location Should close this location down because there have been so many complaints and unsatisfied customers. This location has gone down the drain. One night waited over an hour to be seated and some of the employees walked out. The manager was operate and complaining and had poor Customer Service skills. Didn’t order blackened salmon. Salmon burnt, overcooked and extremely dry/inedible. Both salmon dinners absolutely horrible. Wouldn’t feed to my dog!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn’t order diet drink and it was diet No dessert!!!!!!! Wouldn’t answer the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you eat that???

This has got to be one of the best and friendliest Denny’s in Dallas. The staff which includes people like Miranda, Rosa, Sammy, Ismael, Eveila and Juan are absolutely the best. My kids and I have been coming here for a while now and would drive across town for these people. The food is good, the restaurant is always clean, but the people make the place GREAT!

It's been a few years as we switched to other similar restaurants. Unfortunately food was not great. Avoid French toast as it's just a piece of toast with butter, sugar powered and some honey. Not close to what a real French toast should taste like. Coffee was blah. Eggs, bacon and ham good. Pancakes on cold side but do recommend trying the pumpkin pancakes. Staff great. Little to loud folks around us though but not Dennys fault. Will most likely stick with IHOP and Original House of Pancakes.

I ordered the AYCE PANCAKES and the day shift manager literally tried to put me out after asking for a refill not because I actually ate them but because basically the first two I ordered where still a little under cooked. So she say I'm going to give you these then you have to leave you been here since four like excuse me it's a GHOST TOWN in here anyways! Seriously this location sucks

  • Christopher McGreger

“Open 24 Hours” is not exactly the correct statement to assign to this location. Unless of course “Open” means all the lights are on, the sign is illuminated, it’s fully staffed and one of the trolls on staff stands by the door to turn people away with an enthusiastic, “WE’RE NOT OPEN.” If that is what open means, then sure, this hole is “Open.” How long until businesses stop hiding behind COVID as an excuse to operate their companies like some third rate opium den???

  • Sonia Guzmán

Denny's is a bacon lover's paradise! Their bacon is always crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the ideal sidekick to any meal. The friendly atmosphere and attentive staff make it a welcoming spot for breakfast enthusiasts. Whether you're in the mood for bacon and eggs or a bacon-topped burger, Denny's knows how to do it right. I'll definitely be returning for more of their mouthwatering bacon dishes!

The experience started out challenging when a young black waitress demanded tips for better service on 8/27/23 at roughly 2 a.m. Nonetheless, I got through it after talking to the manager and Jessica saving the day by stepping forward and correcting my situation for dine-in.

Emily was amazing! She did everything beyond expectations. More servers should be like her! The kitchen got my order wrong and we weren’t upset bc she assured us she was going to fix it l. This was over a week ago but I def recommend Emily as your server More

Absolutely love coming here! It’s always so clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and greets with a smile. Miranda in the morning is especially awesome!! Greets everyone with warmth, knows customers by name and always ready to help.

Bad area with the motel right in frontvof th building, but I see that ONLY being an issue with a person who isn't used to it or intimidated by the rough parts of the area. But it's a small minor detail to get amazing service and great food

  • BRENDA Garcia

Saddened to say this locarion has gone down hill. Very rude and unprofessional staff. I've came in in 3 separate locations and all 3 times there has been issues with the staff and some costumer. My last visit the "manager" was arguing with

Waitress was an older woman but super cool and friendly. Unfortunately the new cook didn't come in but she got our order in before the other cook left. She was extremely helpful and professional. She was literally the ONLY staff there so

  • Thom Robinson

Terrible experience! When I entered, a woman seated at the counter told me I could sit anywhere I wanted, and the waitress would be right with me. Apparently there was only one waitress, and she was talking to two customers at another

Terrible! That's all I can say. Ordered pick up and my kids food was just a mess. I mean mess up my order... Not the kids. Honestly, it looked like they gave us leftovers from somebody else.

  • Ms. B

This wait was reasonable and my server was Maranda and she was excellent. The only negative to my experience was the flat lifeless pancakes. There wasn't even an confection sugar.
