| - I wouldn't normally come to a Denny's but I had some friends visit and they insisted we go here the morning after a night of drinking at UIUC.
It took about 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged at our table, and by that time we had been ready to order for a few minutes.
After that, he came back 5 minutes later and said he just put our order in. Why wouldn't it have been put in right away?
Our food took an unusually long time to come out, something close to 30 minutes. Most of us ordered breakfast foods that probably didn't need to be cooked very long. There also wasn't a ton of people in the store, so I'm not sure what could've went wrong.
The server was gone for a long time after that. Our food was brought to us by a guy who I believe was a busser or runner. Everyone's food was there, but they didn't bring a glass of milk my friend asked for with the meal.
I had a cobb salad and it wasn't bad, everything tasted fresh, and no complaints from my friends, albeit after looking at one's chicken fried steak myself, it didn't look that good at all. Another friend said his burger was good. It seems that most of Dennys' meals are approaching or exceeding the $10 mark. In my opinion the food quality is just not worth it at that price point. I can get comparable food on campus at Merry-Ann's for cheaper.
Anyway, the service troubles didn't end there. After we got and finished our food, our server was nowhere to be found. We waited over 30 minutes before he was back, and he apologized for being absent, and then brought us our checks.
Overall just really really slow service here. If we were in a hurry, we would've been screwed, thank goodness we had some time to kill.
Denny's to me is not a $10/plate restaurant.
2/5
