    Was going to put one star for a very loooooong wait for just a couple of orders of spaghetti but putting 3 stars because the staff were very apologetic. Carly, our waitress, even told us NOT to pay for our food, to make up for the wait. Carly was very friendly. This could have been a great dining experience

    Seems there was a problem with the Kitchen. Atleast one other Family walked out because they couldnt wait any longer

    It's a really good thing for the owner of this location that nothing else in this little town is open at night because if there was literally ANY competition, they'd be out of business within a week. After getting ignored for 15 minutes, you might get seated. 20 minutes later, you might get drinks...following a charming greeting of "I guess I'LL take care of you".
    40 minutes after that, the part of your order that your waitress didn't forget (while she was busy gabbing and drinking soda with the only other employee in the place) MIGHT arrive.
    Don't count on refills or clean seats- you are setting your expectations WAY too high.

    The food is as bad as you'd imagine you'd get in a place that tolerates this low a standard of customer service and your experience will be further enriched by the conversations of the two waitresses whining over their soda guzzling about how it's too busy (6 tables) and how they just realized that they forget to put in one of the orders.  

    I have no beef with hitting a Denny's once in a while for a guilty late night calorie fest...but this location is some next-level slumming. Keep driving.

    Had an amazing breakfast with friends this Sunday morning. Shirley K was our server and VERY attentive with our needs. Food came out piping hot and drinks were constantly refilled.

    It's disappointing that this Denny's has such a low rating. But, it's not hurting their business too much. There are always other people eating there, and I think that if those people wrote reviews as well, that their rating could go up much higher. Just like anyone else, though, I've had issues with other places; but you never know what someone else is going through. Just be a blessing and smile.

    Some of the other reviews blame their bad experience on it being a Denny's.  I've been in decent Denny's before.  This is not one of them.

    Very strange experience.  We dined the evening of Labor Day.  Upon arrival when we were asked how many people we had, we said "three".  The seater asked "Are you sure it's not 'four'?"  (Huh?!?!?!)

    The person that seated us also happened to be our waitress.  When she took our order and got to me, because I didn't spout my order off instantly she said "I thought you were ready to order."

    Then, she went back behind the counter and loudly told the cook that she got in another three customers.  You had to been there to hear it, but she sounded like she was annoyed that she had to work and wait on us.  Unless her shift was ending, I'm not sure what the issue was since they don't close and the restaurant only had a couple of other customers.  Regardless, it was inappropriate.

    Then, she went outside and disappeared.  She never offered follow-up service.  Someone else brought us our food, which was of marginal but edible quality.

    We ended up having to get our bills by going up to the cash register.  As we were being rung out, the waitress came back into the restaurant.  

    None of us left a tip.

    As we were going back to our car, we noticed cigarette butts still burning in the outdoor ashtray, hence what she was doing all that time.  She was having a leisurely smoke.
