| - 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 13th 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!
