I work overnights so it’s always nice to come here and eat before heading to bed since they’re open 24 hours. Susana is such a delight and always has a smile on her face and makes sure we have everything we need! The specials are also very well priced so can’t pass those up!

Me and my friends love this Dennys! It’s one of the best locations we’ve been to. We always come here after work and they always have some of the best service and food! The milkshakes are to die for! I always go out of the way to this Dennys just for the milkshakes because this location nails it every time! I never really caught our waiters names but typically we go there between 6pm-1am. They always are happy to see us when we come in and are very friendly!

Can't complain about anything. Staff were great in welcoming me, taking my order, and getting it out to me in a reasonable amount of time despite less staff being available then. Food was as you'd expect, but not bad for the price. There are quite a few interesting menu options to choose from. Being open 24 hours was a big plus for me, when very few other decent quality places were available early in the morning.

Absolutely AMAZING experience!!! The food/service/vibes were already fantastic, but Jazmin, our waitress, truly made it unforgettable. She was so friendly, attentive, and upbeat — she made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. You can tell she genuinely cares and loves what she does. Because of Jazmin, this place gets a full ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me. Can’t wait to come back!

The staff always gives me quick, friendly service with no attitude. I like my eggs and potatoes very well done and turkey bacon and they never bring it to me wrong which means alot to me. If Im at Denny's I'm too tired to cook or didnt have time to go to the grocery store. I live around the corner. Not having to be judged by how I like my food is worth having a seat and giving the girls a tip. They are worth it.
