Denny's Restaurant — Restaurant in Dr. Phillips

Waitress decided to throw a fit to her manager very publicly about her not wanting to serve us because we were drunk & “won’t tip well.” When you have 3 tables & you’re standing 15 feet from your table in question, it’s probably not bright to loudly express that you don’t want to serve 1/3 of your tables. Also - let’s take a minute & think - if you don’t want to serve drunk customers - maybe don’t apply for the night shift at a breakfast spot which resides in the same strip mall as 5 dive bars. I imagine half your customers are drunk if not more. You’re at a 24hr spot that is a 5 minute walk away from the Paddywagon. We were drunk - hence the 1 AM outing to Dennys, lol. Im also typing this at 2 AM, if that helps you gage how dysfunctionally drunk we were, given I can type this review just fine. :) Still tipped 20% though, because I work in hospitality but make a tad bit more than you, & am always feeling generous. You certainly didn’t earn a dime, though. Hope you get some rest & find a job in retail or manual labor! I’m sure there’s another $10/hr position in the Orlando suburbs that’ll be more accommodating towards your needs, & will keep you away from the general public.

Food served its purpose. It wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad, it was expensive for what it was. I can name several Michelin starred restaurants where you could get a meal for less money. Probably won’t come back as I’m not in town often. Even if I was, there’s an iHop right across the street; I’ll go check them out next time I’ve been out on a Friday night, at the numerous dive bars that surround your establishment - can’t highlight enough, you applied to work at this location, & a comatose person could’ve guessed what type of customers you’d have at 1 AM. Not the best $50 I’ve spent.

Also, this is nitpicky, but they’ve got no waffles on their menu. There isn’t a waffle machine in the building. Grow up,...

Today, we brought our two toddler children to this restaurant, and the experience was terrible because we encountered a racist. When we arrived, we stood at the entrance for three minutes, and no one came to guide us. Holding our two children, we kept looking for a server, and after three minutes, a red-haired woman slowly stood up from a nearby seat. It turned out she had been sitting there the whole time, chatting with others and completely ignoring us.

We told her we needed a high chair, but she didn’t provide one. We had no choice but to hold our kids on our laps and feed them ourselves. Later, when we finished eating and stood at the entrance to pay, the same red-haired woman continued to ignore us. She bypassed us and went straight to serve the guests who had just arrived behind us.

We stood there patiently with our children and credit card, waiting. At first, we waited while she seated the first and second tables, still being patient. But as more and more guests entered, she continued to ignore us and refused to help us check out, focusing only on seating the other guests. I finally said, “Can you help us check out? The kids really want to leave.” She responded, “You wait.” The guest she serve looked as with empathy, and said" we are sorry, you don't deserve this. She is rude."

Anyway, this was a very bad experience. To the red-haired waitress: you are a racist who discriminates against people of color. We feel sorry for you. Clearly, you weren’t educated properly, and your mother didn’t raise you to be a good person. That’s why both of you are working in a restaurant at an old age.

I hope that in the future, you’ll have the chance to go to college, improve your manners and worldview, and become a better person....

BEWARE... Unethical billing practices by server. We ate at this location yesterday afternoon and our server, Tara H, engaged in unethical bill practices by driving up our bill. We ordered a couple of omelets and asked that she substitute the toast for the pancakes - something that we've done for years. We received the bill and Tara "Added Pancakes" while also including white bread. This drove up the bill by $2.00 each for a total of $4.00. When we brought this up to Tara at the register, she lied to us and stated that Denny's no longer allows substitutions. This is simply false. In fact, if you attempt to order the same meals online for pickup, it allows me to substitute toast for pancakes. Tara deliberately drove up our bill in an effort to drive up her tip amount. Unethical practices.... beware and carefully check your bill! The food was actually pretty good, but because of what Tara H did, we won't be going...
