Denny's — Restaurant in Chehalis

I visit Denny's a few time's a week on average. They're always clean and the staff's always working to make your stay a relaxing and pleasant experience. The food is pretty good too😋It's been quite a while since I've actually sat down for a meal at Denny's though. Like so many of us have, are, and unfortunately will, I've experienced some pretty hard, tough, and difficult times in my life. I'm not bragging but I bet my hard and difficult times were harder than your's...lol You ought to me by now, If I can put a smile on your face, well it just feels right so I'm gonna try whenever I can. I retired early due to an accident. I worked construction for 35+ yrs before that. I became depressed and angry. I get to visit the folks at Denny's like I said, a few days a week or so because I found myself more depressed and even angrier beginning this last year and a halfish...lost my mom in January and my best friend, companion, snuggle bear, roommate, confidant and lap buddy Noah. My Beagle/Bassett mix hound dog for almost 15 yrs. A friend told me about this job. Yes I could definitely use the money but I was ok, I was getting by with what I had. So at 61, lol 62 in 7 day's, I opened my door and stepped back into living again. I get to go visit Dennis, Taco Bell, Hometown Restaurant, KFC, Walgreen's, Walmart, Rite Aid, Safeway and "Hundreds" of local and outline city merchants doing everything they can to stay afloat. I am now a self employed delivery driver. I am a dasher. I work with the help and direction of Door Dash Inc. In the short time I've worked Ive delivered services to almost 200 residents and businesses in Lewis, Thurston, and Grey's Harbor Counties. 60 deliveries just last week. I don't judge, have, or offer any personal opinions about the company door dash. I certainly have them, but life's full enough of opinions. Have them, reflect on them, and keep them tucked away. 🙃 although you're reading mine, they're not threatening, illegal, or political...just an offering of love and support for the hundreds...no, thousands of local businesses and service providers working hard to provide for their children and families, their loved one's and friends, and our communities. Like your's. So I suppose I'm forcing my opinions and incites upon you all, yes using this forum to spread the word. I've met quite a few other dasher's in the area and I'm positive that Door Dash Inc. is looking for more. The company is growing pretty fast, expanding in all directions and all thing's deliverable. I've delivered fast food, fine dining, groceries, cigarettes alchohol and even...🥵 prophylactics..once. If you can't, won't, or just don't want to go out..need something now? Call the best thing's around. Call door dash and relax without worrying about covid, or driving, or going without. Because when you make that call, Myself or one of many incredible local door dashers will be...

This has to be the worst diner experience in my life. We decided to stop by Denny's for Veteran's Day. I figured since this location is farther away from JBLM, it might be less of a wait to get breakfast. The restaurant was busy, and I did not mind a reasonable wait. We were seated after a few minutes of waiting.

A waitress led us to an empty table, which was still dirty to her surprise. She wiped the table off, but did not completely clean it free of grease and crumbs. She left immediately after we were seated and we did not see another waitress until 10 minutes later. Another waitress came by and took our drink orders, and since we had been waiting a while, we were ready to place our food order. I ordered my Veteran's Grand Slam and my partner(not a veteran) ordered an omlete. A few minutes later, we received our drinks. We waited for about 30 minutes and saw other veterans get their food, finished, and left. We figured maybe they were busy and are behind so we didn't nag a waitress. Sadly, no one came by to check on us until later.

We did not think anything was wrong until an elderly couple was seated near us, placed their orders, and received their food before us. By this time, we have already been seated without food for almost an hour. The waitress who took our order finally came by and said the kitchen was backed and assured our order would be coming out any moment. After a few minutes, I knew something wasn't right. We decided that if they haven't cooked our meals, we would just pay for our coffee and leave. Waiting for a meal for almost an hour was ridiculous, and we were not in the mood anymore, even if my meal was free.

I walked up to the cash register and explained to the cashier about how long we waited and we would just like to pay for the coffee and leave. The cashier then verified our order, and to everyone's surprise, there wasn't even a ticket placed for our order. He explained they've been busy and this was the 4th time they've lost an order. He did not sound apologetic at all and seemed somewhat more defensive. He said if we wanted to leave, we don't have to pay for the coffee since there wasn't even an order placed. We left immediately.

I can understand mistakes and it was surely busy for Veteran's Day, but customer service could have been better. The cashier did not try to rectify the situation by being apologetic and placing a priority order for us, or even comping my partner's meal. I feel like I have been shafted on Veteran's Day thanks to my...

When I saw the check, I gulped realizing that I had just spent $70 dollars on food that niether me, my 70 yeat old mother and my 26 year old daughter barely could try to eat. Coffee old but hot still. Very bitter. Toast: chewy. #pancakes had hard pieces other some crap on em. Bacon raw and tasted like plastic. Sausage literally tasted like an early grave if I had a second bite. Eggs almost raw. My mom's omlette used canned tomatoes and powdered egg taste. My daughter literally threw up mintues after leaving the restaurant, and as I'm writing this review, I too feel sick to my stomach. The hashbrowns were hard and covered in grease. I thought maybe the food would be out of this world because how significantly the prices rose since I last had Dennys. The food was out of this world, alright. Because I literally feel like we went to the depths of hell and it was out torture. The food was what nightmares are made from. The food was the worse tasting, worse prepared food I've ever tasted. The chef should be fired and or trained to cook food. Both me and my daughter could have cooked the food that was served to us, way better than what the chef decided to flop on our plates, today. Heed my warning if you have any sense of taste or smell stir clear away from this place. BTW my hashbrowns also smelled like a dirty wet old rag. I'm not exaggerating at all. Eat at your own risk!!!! Only good thing was a waitress was an absolute gem. And so sweet and friendly. But everything...
