Denny's Waco Reviews
This Dennys is under rated. The service is outstanding. The food is cooked with care. The environment is Dennys!!! Dennys has been around for decades. They have been there everytime we need a place to eat, set down & get up & go again. Though I35 is being reconstructed & Flying J is redoing the pumps, please stop by. The omelets are to die for & the specials are too good to be true. Not too many establishments are still around. This place is. Way better than Ijump!!!!! Haha
Stopped by for lunch while working, not too busy, for seated pretty quickly, loved the Christmas atmosphere and vibes. Server had some excellent recommendations as far as peppermint hot chocolate went. Ordered a burger and fries. Food came out hot and fresh. Server was prompt with the bill and always had a smile, definitely recommending stopping by here for good food and great atmosphere.
My husband and I Michael Thomas. My name is Thressa Thomas. We're at Denny's date 1/29/26 We had Lunch at Denny's restaurant # 8591 address, 2904, south new road Waco Texas, 76711 our service at Dennys today was Amazing. The waitress Ms. Ashley was So Awesome, Kind and Caring.The food was good hot and delicious. Thank you, Danny's and Ms.Ashley.👏👏❤️
Great customer service from Ashley D! How employees treat customers is as important as the quality of the food and Ashley exceeds expectations with her genuine greeting and attentiveness during our visit. Thanks.
We had Ashely as our server. She was extremely attentive, and did her job well. Best service ever. We’ll be back and tell out family and friends all about it!
The service and the atmosphere was great. The server was very attentive. The food was good just not as hot as I would have liked.
This place is open, despite the construction out front. It's Dennys so you know what your getting. It's servers like Kathy who make it worth stopping by. She is pretty awesome!
This is our second time at Dennys. I got the mango smoothie and Pumpkin pecan pancakes. Was really good. Both times our server has been Julio, He’s super attentive and sweet. Very calm and made sure we had everything! I rated the atmosphere lower bc two girls were arguing, but that’s it. Thanks to Julio again!
The food was great, was out from the kitchen in no time at all. We ordered nachos as the appetizer and it came out quickly while we were still discussing what to order. I ordered the chicken fried chicken, Mac and cheese, and red skinned potatoes. My companion ordered chicken tenders, fries, and mashed potatoes. I don't think the server heard her correctly when she asked for mashed potatoes and brought it out with red skinned potatoes instead. I can cut her a little slack considering she was the only person working the floor during a shift change where more employees were arriving. Despite the hiccup, she was attentive, and filled our drinks regularly. For two meals, an appetizer, and two drinks, it nearly ran me 60$, but it was worth the price. The environment was quiet since we showed up at 8 or 9 in the evening.
Always a nice experience at this Denny's. Today I enjoy a nice dish for dinner. Sorry, don't remember the name of the dish, but I am leaving a photo for reference. The restaurant was in very good shape. My waitress was very courteous and always helpful. When the time was ready for my refill, she was there to assist me. The place was very clean and in order. I am also attaching photo of the inside. I hope everyone gets to enjoy a moment like the one I had. Food was amazing. Every single piece of that dish was perfect. The sweet and sour along with the multiple vegetables and the well cook chicken breast made of this dish a delicious dinner to remember. Good job management and amazing job waitress. Sorry can't name the waitress since it is not allowed in google policy.

Food was really good and came out fast. Wait staff was excellent. We would definitely stop in again. The building could use a little upgrade.

Went here for breakfast and lunch. Good quantity and quality of food. Better than IHOP. Service was good, but they need more staff to have better service.

Not such a bad experience. They overcooked my steak 🥩 a bit but I was afraid 😱 to send it back. They also had no shrooms 🍄🟫🍄 and diced raw onions 🧅 on top (no sauté) I still smashed it because I’m Da FatMan. The service and pancakes 🥞 were the best thing about this visit. So check em out if you’re ever in the neighborhood and Holla at a Playa. 👌🏾

Laziest cooked food ever! Loved this place a year ago, now we will not return. Everything was over cooked. Paid an extra dollar for gravy and it's not enough to cover the burned and doughy biscuit. Hashbrowns were overcooked, so much so that there was almost no potato left! Sausage gravy was not ground sausage but links chopped into it! Which is the laziest way to cook and serve it. Bacon was both burnt and soggy. Pancakes were pretty on top but burnt on bottom and the syrup was served cold inside of an oil carafe which does not easily pour and is messier than a syrup dispenser. Waitress was helpful but very slow even though she only had 2 or 3 tables. Overpriced for the food that was served and left hungry. The tea and coffee were decent. Definitely a pit stop restaurant not a family style eatery. Almost 50 bucks for 2 people, left hungry, and unsatisfied.
We walked in with a rather large party of 14. The host was nice, but as soon as the server came by, it was just attitude. Another group came in, pointed at us, and said they had to wait because of us…

Ordered online. Asked for a tip for ordering ann online pick up. Order said it was ready. Waited 20 mins inside while being one of the only people there. Classic Denny's (food was also cold)
The portions are incredibly small, which is why many truckers have stopped going to this place. The prices are also quite high. For just 20 bucks, you get 5 ounces of potatoes and two chicken business card fillets. It’s unbelievable! Good luck to anyone who tries it.
Me my wife and my brother, sister in law and nieces and nephews had lunch there. Me and my nephew had the chicken tenders and we got food poisoning from there. That is all we had to eat and both of us were sick after eating there. Be careful eating any chicken products from this location
When you show up to eat here at 8 pm, on a Saturday night, and the place is absolutely dead…. Zero people inside. Not even anyone working… then the one host comes out when we’re talking about it must be closed… and smell like a pound of weed…. Yeah I think we’ll go somewhere else.
Service was abysmal. Waited 20 minutes for a drink order. Once we got our food, we didn't get asked for refills or anything. She brought the check, and then went back to conversing with the manager at the front. I brought it to the attention of the manager that it shouldn't be beneath him to help out the ONE waitress, in which he retorted with terrible excuses, even after I identified several tables that had dirty dishes on them that had been sitting since I arrived. The waitress then proceeded to be aggressive instead of de-escalating to the point of calling out statements as I was leaving. There became a loud altercation between myself and the staff, then the waitress decided to approach me and attempt to intimidate me by stepping up in an aggressive manner in my face. I won't be returning. Absolutely absurd. Used to be a great place, but has taken a turn for the worst, and the fact that truck drivers won't even stop in should be telling.
Awful just awful. Made an online order at 8:30 got there at 9 had to wait till 9:30 for them to finish my food. Got my food, opened it and they put little plastic trays in it to seperate the food and just ruined the toppings on my pancakes. There were barely any hash browns paid like 3 bucks for a quarter of a potato. Absolutely abysmal. Will be doing online ordering from IHOP from now on. It's just across the street. Also terrible service. Or rather just disrespectful service. You should not ask for a tip if your service was awful.
This Denny's location should be embarrassed for their poor performance and pitiful customer service. I ordered a pancake combo with eggs and hashbrowns. I specifically requested that the bacon be crispy and not flaccid and limp. What I received was what I said I didn't want. My coffee was lukewarm at best, and the hashbrowns were just blah. A male walked into the dining area and began picking up the dishes at the empty tables. He proceeded to talk loud at some other worker towards the back, that it noticeably startled several of the diners, including me. This behavior is not professional at all. But, I guess it's accepted. I was charged $16 for a plate of cold mess, lukewarm coffee, and an earful of useless unwanted conversation amongst the Dennys staff. Eat at your own risk because the food is not served at its best.
I have been at this location numerous times over the past 3 years. This was by far the worst meal and service I have ever had here. $20 for one of the worst meals I have ever eaten in my life. The waiter was horrible. I have dealt with him in the past. He had gotten a lot better but now back to his old ways. Never came back to ask if I needed a refill or even gave me the ticket. Had to tell the cashier where I had sat. The bourbon chicken skillet was nothing but mush.
