I always been satisfied with Denny's. Never once disappointed. Highly recommended! Cooked perfectly! All utensils were place in the order . Food was at a nice temperature! Napkins were included and the delivery person was always pleasant!I ordered from them a couple weeks ago and nothing has changed just consistent pleasure in their food!

Not good food.
I decided to order a snack to enjoy on my day off.
Finally ended up choosing the strawberry stuffed French toast.. (abt $10)
In my opinion. Quite foul... one side is cooked crispy and the other side is lightly toasted. The strawberry's were mushy and old.
Finally a kids meal-- sausage, hash browns, and mini pancakes w chocolate chips. (Abt $9)
Not bad, saved the evening with this one. Presentation could be better. I chose to get a side of sausage gravy to enjoy. Tasted very canned, chose to just toss it out and take the $1.70 loss.
Will not be dining again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

This location has incredible people that work here. That is the biggest thing that makes me coming back this place is located near Ohio State campus and it has accessible parking. Stacy has a heart of gold the way she treats people as if they were her family, she is also very attentive at what's going on in the place but she exudes love. Jayla works hard to try to go above and beyond to make sure everybody is taken care of she makes an amazing milkshake and she's a very valuable asset to the team. Jasmine tries to keep the peace in the building and she has great at work ethic even when she doesn't want to she tries to smile at people. I've been to this place in the past but they seem to have the right staff. Mario has great work ethic and he seems to be very detailed and it's not afraid to be nice to guess even though he has to work in the back.

Hi Roy M.! Thanks for being a fan! Your long time support means the world to us.
Jun 18, 2017Previous reviewI am so overwhelmed that they brought Denny's back to Columbus, that I have been jumping for joy to all we have here is fitzys and ihop. But I have been a fan of Denny's for year, but enough about that. I would have given more stars, if it wasn't so unbareably, cold. It's strange, but even in June, I had to go to my car to get a jacket, many people are clenching their fist, to stay warm, so it's feels about 40 degrees, the manger said that it's a regulation problem with the AC unit.
This location is clean and trendy, and very personable service, however I ordered a skillet with no mushrooms, and it had mushrooms on it, I am trying to stay positive because I love the brand, but please stay attentive to your guest.
The manger seem to make an attempt to try to help. keep being personable guys and get the AC Unit fixed. - Tamala R.North Canton, OH02Apr 24, 2024
The cleanest Denny's that I have ever been to! Our server, Phil, was outstanding!! I wish I can pack him up in my suitcase and take him back to Ohio. I am in need of employees that understand the concept of service.

It was morning and my family needed some breakfast. We were in the middle of my family trip to Columbus and my brother had an exam in a few hours for his insurance agents license. He needed a good breakfast to get thru the exam so we went to Denny's. Its been years since I set foot in one, because the area of Ohio I am in seems to be the land of Bob Evans with the occasional IHOP, not a Dennys in sight for some reason. Sadly, I prefer Dennys. Prior to moving, i often had breakfast there. Just something that stuck with me from childhood.
We came in, and were quickly brought to a table. Unfortunately, this was the only part of the service experience which was quick. The restaurant was half full, yet it took a good 20 minutes for us to be greeted by our waiter. Its not a large Denny's, and i am not sure if all their restaurants had changed their decor in last several years. It certainly looked different than the ones I was used to down in Florida. This one had a more diner feel to it.
We ordered the food and then waited some more. Thankfully, we came with time, if not we would have been worried my brother would miss his exam.
My brother and I both ordered a Lumberjack Slam. My mother ordered a Vanilla Crepe breakfast. Food tasted good and was standard Denny's fare. The coffee was hot and certainly that was appreciated on a cold day. It was good to have some again after so long.
Wish there was a Dennys near my house like this one. Still, they could use a bit more staff.Helpful 8Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Ella D.Columbus, OH1184Jan 28, 2024

It was after church on a Sunday and my family simply needed a place to eat. so we went to denny's. what a mistake. we sat down with my daughter and my nephew and to our surprise the booth we were given had a unrelenting foul smell and one side of the table was covered in water. not only was our food cold and the chicken tough, but the waffles were so hard my nephew Caleb broke his tooth. I could potentially look over all that if the syrup could fix it; but no. it was EXTREMELY watered down. it was also overpriced as hell. spending $97.45+tip on a horrible meal is ridiculous. I truly like Dennys and have been coming here for a couple years but this one time ruined it for me. please fix this, if not for me but for the others visiting.

Wow, this site is complete chaos with no organization whatsoever. It seems like there might be a manager, however, the staff runs as if there isn't one. What's worse, you overhear some staff complaining.

I placed an online order for Santa Fe bowl with avocado added and an over easy egg on the side. They put grilled chicken on top; no egg no avocado. My husband's salad was not in the bag and his sandwich was soggy. I tried calling to complain no one answered the phone.

cook tonight is not a good team Lead stephanie not a good sport for her team mates around her.
Im staying on the hotel right behind this location and order some food its cold and after working all day in 15 degrees weather all i wanted was dinner and bed.
I order me a double cheese burger and had it delivered to my room after i got it the fries were hard as a rock and seem like they were cook with old oil . I grab the box came in to the restaurant and after telling the server Wich she was nice and polite she went and told Stephanie the cook she acted very unprofessional saying it wasnt her fall and it was the door dasher fall . so me waiting for my food decided to dine in and eat my food inside . when she was told by the server to put my burger in a plate she say thats not how thinks work and follow up to put my food in a carton box . I am not happy and as a business owner wouldn't like personal like this in my team . I ask for the manager and server told me that she was the team leader for the night she also cuss in-front of me to one of the servers VERY UNPROFESSIONALLY . would like some one from corporate to contact me for this matter thank you.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information
