Denny's — Restaurant in Apple Valley

So yeah, this experience was, you know, it Started out to have all the potential in the world. And mind you, and I want to set the stage, this was almost like a completely empty restaurant, like maybe one or two guests in the restaurant Max, and no one was really coming in either. And then sadly, kind of became just a not fun restaurant and just a kind of sadly, a waste of money at a point of time When you know, the food came out, not staggered, like some of the kids food came out late. And then our food came out late. And then one whole entree was missed and ended up coming out much later, those are not things that we like do not like. The oven was broken and you know, they were still serving food that required oven cooking and you know to me it's like, okay if the food can still be made correctly. The food did come out even though it required an Oven and it looked awful. And I mean, I guess it tasted edible but looked just horrendous, like garbage, like disgusting food. You know, we ALL ate we were hungry at one point. We had a child with a meltdown You know, and I was begging the waiters Hey, just bring out some of my toast. You can do that. That's got to be ready. Bring out some of the fruit that we ordered. We'll take that IT would that would help us. That would stop this meltdown from a two year old that was hungry. But no, they didn't they didn't do it. Either they just ignored us, or they simply couldn't be bothered to help. At the end of the day, the the kind of the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back and that camel's got a good backThat camel's got a great back.And it's hard to break it, but the the straw that broke that camel's back was the hair we discovered at the bottom of the kids meal, which was just disgusting. Absolutely Disgusting! So yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, OSHA ought to take a good look at this place. OSHA, meaning the food agency that looks into cleanliness, and to make sure that they're doing this right cuz, we need to have hair Nets on or something we shouldn't be having hairs in our food. The cooks they definitely need to be Wearing hairnets, if that if this kind of thing is happening, it's a sign that there's no hair nets. So at the end of the day, I would not go to this place. I would not could not should not go to this place. And I will not go to this place. And I urge anyone else to avoid it as well. It's just simply tries to do a lot.And fails on every...

The server said there were two new cooks alone. Only saw two servers. Eventually at the end of my hour and a half meal I saw, what I assume was a dishwasher, bussing tables.

Pancake puppies came out after about 20 minutes. Were a little well done but not terrible. Not a fan of the cream cheese sauce being served directly on the plate, the old way of being on the side was better, in my opinion.

It was almost 20 more minutes before we got the rest of our food. I got the appetizer sampler and it only came with 3 onion rings, which is ridiculous, even the server agreed with me. She offered to get me more, but I declined. If that's what it is supposed to get, then now I know.

Server didn't write down my order, so not surprised my pancakes were missed. Came out very quickly, but when I buttered them, the bottom one was flipped upside down and had little black grease specks on it like it died in the window and they were trying to cover it up. My ten year old said it tasted fine, so I went with it.

I waited a ridiculously long time for boxes and my check too. What was supposed to be a quick bite before running to the grocery store before bed ended up being just dinner before bed.

Top it off with taking the spaghetti off the menu, which was my kid's favourite, just made it a...

On a trip to Minnesota from AZ and ate lunch and dinner at the same restaurant in Apple Valley. There was a huge difference in atmosphere and service between the two shifts.

The waiter for lunch (2:30pm) was happy, smiled a lot and friendly. He took our drink orders right away and came back for our meal orders quickly too. The food was served in a timely manner even with a busy restaurant and was delicious. I couldn’t decide between French toast or the bacon avocado burger, so I knew when we came back for dinner that I’d get the burger.

Dinner (10:15pm) was completely different. There were 5 tables waiting for food including us. There was 1 waiter and 1 cook. The cook kept leaving and going outside and just walking around the restaurant instead of cooking. Nobody’s food was coming out at all. It took 50 min to get our food and there were only 4 of us. The tables near us hadn’t even gotten their order taken and it had been 30 min.

The kids mac and cheese was gross, the Bourbon burger had tomatoes and lettuce on it when asked not to, and my avocado bacon burger had no flavor so it was very disappointing. The waiter never checked on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything.

If you want to go to this Dennys go during the day and not at night. Night service...
