Denny's - Kenly

During our road trip, we decided to stop by Denny's as soon as the dining room opened. We had a brief wait, but our waiter was very communicative and explained the delay, which didn’t bother us too much. When our food arrived, we were all quite satisfied. As a vegetarian, I ordered the Beyond Beef burger and found it to be really tasty. I was thrilled to see a vegetarian option on the menu, especially since many places in the South often lack such accommodations. The hazelnut creamers were surprisingly delightful as well. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely return!

Although our server/hostess was very polite and hardworking, she was the only one working, which made the service a bit slow. However, our food arrived quickly, and unfortunately, it didn’t meet our expectations. I ordered egg whites, assuming they would be freshly made or cooked to order, but instead, they had a rubbery texture reminiscent of melted mozzarella cheese and tasted bitter. I’ve never encountered bitter eggs before. The sausage links seemed like they had been sitting out for a while, and while the bacon was decent, it gave me the same impression. The pancakes were just okay. Given the price, it was acceptable, but the quality of the food should have been better; no eggs, regardless of cost, should taste bitter. I would have rated this place two stars if it weren’t for our kind and hardworking hostess.

I wish I could give a zero rating. They made us wait an hour and a half because they said they were training someone. They were serving other people but not us. It felt very racist. Unfortunately, this is the second time this has happened. They served white customers while a person of color and we were left waiting the whole time, and in the end, we never got attended to.

Came to Denny's to have dinner after a long day on the road and the Manager Tasha was very unprofessional. She rolled her eyes when a new employee let her know we wanted more tea and kept walking. I found our waiter to let her know myself. She was at the front stocking. Staff members were loud and playing music loud in the back. Some staff members had mask on and some didn't. I can say my waitress was very nice. Forgot her name but she had dreadlocks.

This location provided excellent service. I ordered breakfast with hash browns and pancakes, and the server brought everything we needed even before we could ask—napkins, syrup, and ketchup. The food was delicious as well!
