| - This was the strangest trip to any restaurant I've ever had. We walk in to no one at the counter, the manager comes out and ignores us, then turns to the kid sweeping up and asks him to seat us. The kid is definitely odd and a bit rude, i.e. I say "just the two of us please"and he responds with "oh really? I see six of you" no laugh, smile, or words follow, just turns around and waves for us to follow him. We sit at the table and no one comes to us for at least 15 minutes, no silverware, water, coffee. Then the party starts. Our waiter comes up and is the strangest person I've ever met, going off on crazy tangents and honestly just making our experience uncomfortable, these are things I have no problem tolerating, if the service is good. From here we order coffee and our entrees (since we've had more than enough time to decide by now and we already want to leave). He brings us coffee and I hear him turn to a waitress and tell her he brought us decaf since there wasn't any coffee ready. I ask him if it's decaf and he tells me no, like, dude I just heard you... Anyway we start eating, no coffee or water refills until we're halfway through our meal. He brings the coffee out and with no warning from him I take a sip and the coffee is 1 degree shy of its boiling point, I'm still recovering today. Not to mention he forget to put in 1/3 of our order and we didn't receive some dishes. At the end of the meal we discuss the tip, agreeing that we'd not tip our usual 20% as this was just not a good experience, the server brings our receipt and asks us to total it out with the tip before he runs the card! So now he has to see the tip and deal with us afterwards, forcing us to tip him out 20% so we can avoid that awkward situation. One of the weirdest, most uncomfortable trips to Denny's ever, I will not return to this location.
