- "Just stumbled onto you as I was searching for the Denny's web site to get directions to the San Mateo (Calif.) Denny's where I'm meeting a buddy of mine whoshares my enthusiasm for Denny's -- a taste, by the way, we acquired while working for a US Congressman who also happened to be a HUGE Denny's fan. You can imagine the need
Just curious, but what are your favorite items on the menu? My two favorites are the "Moons over My Hammy" and the recently introduced "Buffalo Chicken Burger" (extra sauce, please). I think "Moons" are about as good as breakfast can get (at least for $5 bucks).
Anyway, good luck with the project. Sounds like alot of fun."

- "if you ever want to visit the dirtest Denny's, stop at second exit, southbound I-77, Rockhill, S.C. it will meet all your greatest expectations.
For the worst food, especially the hamburger steak, stop at the Denny's off I-95, as you enter into Georgia southbound. Only restaurant that I didn't leave a tip. Best Denny's is on NASA exit in Houston off I-10"

- "I love dennys. I always go to the one in topeka, ks on the blvd (ie topeka blvd) Oh and my name is Christy Coder. Anyways, my Denny's hosted my 18th birthday cuz I have alot of friends there and they were absolutly fantastic. It was better than being drunk. and that's hard to do."

- "I would really like picutre of you guys at Denny's on Colerain Ave. This is one of my most popular hangout spots! I think it's cool what you guys are doing and great testament for "web." I don't know what it is about denny's! The food isn't great, nor is the service, price is "ok" But I love that place"

- "My best freind and i are travelling >from Dennys to Dennys this summer for a month. We had this idea awhile ago, alas, it has been 2 years since! We're doing it this summer, though! Maybe if you travel to the Dennys on Eureka road, Telegraph road, or Fort street in Mi. We'll see you there. I'd be happy to send you what we video tape when we're done."

- "hi, my name is Dylan and I want you to sign me up for your Denny`s mailing list. I fuckin` LOVE Dennys, its the only place that never kicks me out after Rocky Horror.
I read your article in Permission Magazine #9, and was looking forward to more, but I heard a rumor that Permissions died, or is no longer in print? is that so?
either way, I was wondering if you would have the time to write for another zine, my zine (called Apocalypse Playground). you said you take months sometimes to reply to e-mail and there`s months to spare, Your article probably won`t see print until about June, in a special travel issue. There`s a web page in the works for our zine so you can see what we`re about - but basically we`re about whatever we feel like being about, Your article can be the same. Sapmles from your journal-type entries on the web page would do if you`re lazy, or you can go all out and get as extravagant as you want. Any length is good (any length of an article, dont be sick)
I`m sorry but we cant pay you anything more tha gratitude and a free copy of the issue your stuff appears in. We can give you a bunch of copies if you like, so you can brag to your friends."

- "hi there:
probably like many other people that found you, i found you looking for a dennys website to find one in my area. (the one that used to be over the hill just closed)
i am just a normal guy with a family that lives in arizona as well. ahwatukee(did i spell that right?) foothills to be exact.
i enjoyed your site a lot and found it quite funny. just curious, what do you and your wife do when you aren't going to dennys? i thought the guys idea about the sponsorship was great. if i worked at mtv, i would write you a check in a minute. im sure your show would be much more funny than any of that real world crap.
just curious, were you the person that inspired that ihop commercial about the guy that lives in the trailer and lives for the ihop experience? i think those royalties are rightfully yours.
anyway, keep up the good work. when i am out of phx on business i will make it a point to take some photos of any dennys that are around and send them to you.
if you are ever in the phx area, and want a free lunch at dennys, call me. i realize your concern about meeting anyone through this site, but the offer still stands.
have a great new year"

- "I spend many months a year on the road and had a business meeting on Thursday night 12/18/98. I stopped at Denny's for a quick bite and I experienced the worst service in the world. I was there 45 minutes only received one cup a coffee and watched three other groups get up and walk out. I heard a loud argument coming from the kitchen area and on top of it all the waitress forgot to turn in my order. I never received a second cup of coffee and when the french toast finally came it was cold and uneatable. I waited another 30 minutes for my check finally just told the cashier what I had and that I had to get back on the road I just experienced my last dinning pleasure at Denny's. I would rather eat at the Golden arches than go through that again"

- "So you'll probably think I'm full of shit but I will chronicle the events that lead me to this email. Me and my best friend love Denny's with a passion it's where we go everywhere, we go there to meet random people (we're from Fremont CA). Secondly we hate working so are always scheming plans to get out of work and do fun things. Anyways about two years ago we had this idea to visit every Dennys in America, but it was more elaborate than that, we were also going to try and get a sponsorship from 'jeep' so we could get a 'grand cherokee' to cruise in and, we were going to approach "MTv' so they could track our journey.
So anyways two years later we remembered this crazy Idea and I was looking up 'denny's' on the net and came upon your web page suprised!
Well anyways I'm sure you get a million emails, I hope you read this. Maybe you could work in the MTV and Jeep into your plan, It would make it more fun, but what would really make it fun is if you brought us along! We're very charasmatic folks."

- Lizz
- "I've been there when they've run out of food and when they have been closed. But if you ever make it back to Ann Arbor, try Denny's again prolly after 10pm. The graveyard shift waitstaff is pretty interesting. They dressed up as characters from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for Halloween. I have the pictures to prove it. This love of Denny's is interesting and I hope you all get to make it to all of them. "

- "First of all I think that this web page is hysterical.I thought that me and my friends were the only nutcases who loved Denny's...now I have to say that your "stuff" is impressive but we have something that you guys don't and that is the DENNY"S MAT...actually two of them..my friends took them to furnish their dorm rooms in college to remind them of our amazing drunk and i guess sober nights at Denny's ...in Danbury, Ct...thanks for the entertainment."

- "Your devotion to Denny's fascinates me. You must have a different breed of restaurant out there from what I am used to.
Here in the Midwest, Denny's is the bottom-feeder of the restaurant food chain. They take amazing pluses such as a tasty menu and 24 hour service and flush them into the crapper by under-staffing. Right now they're locked in a vicious circle to try to save money by cutting staff, which in turn leads to more customer dissatisfaction and in turn lower revenues which leads them to cut back on staff... etc.
Many is the time that I've endured slow, inaccurate service in a Denny's, but no more! In order to regain my patronage Denny's will have to run a nation- wide ad campaign fessing up to under-staffing, and pledge to fix that problem.
The ads right now only show us of yet another Americana dish that's being served to a Black person so we don't get the impression that Denny's is racist. Never mind that that Black person had to sit for 40 minutes after ordering because there's only one waitress and one cook.
In case you're wondering why I'm writing this to you instead of to DENNY'S- that's because their cutesy web site doesn't have a feedback section. If they did, then there'd REALLY be an overload of the internet in the form of customers slamming the chain.
If you have a channel to forward this Denny's, then please do so. I'd love to have a 24 hour place where you could eat an enjoyable meal. Right now there isn't one."

The game we played was who could eat the most items off the Grand Slam Breakfast. This was a few years ago, but I miss the game....and the White Gravy.... "

What does "La Quinta" in La Quinta Inns mean translated from Spanish.
"Next to Denny's".

There is nothing outstanding about the Thousand Oaks Denny's, but hey, at least it's open later than everything else in town!"
- Chris Field
- "I don't like Dennys at all. I've only been there 3x in my life and I'm 44. Once when I was 15 and my sister was paying, I hated the food and said I would never go back. Then when I was about 30 after a night out for my anniversary, i went for a coffee and the waiter kept saying "no, you don't just want coffee because it's a $2.00 charge just for coffee" Then last year I went for an IRC meet from 1am to 4am, well that was a bash, just having coffee again. Imagine my chagrin when my son got a job there. Thank goodness he's moved on to Ricky's. He had nothing good to say about the food or the collective brains of the other people who were there cooking. Apparently no one ever heard of any other way to heat up anything other than a microwave. Well good luck on your project, it's nice to see people with a goal."

- "Love the "dancing" Rooster in the Denny's commercial. Really cracks me up. I was singing "I'm just a love machine...." at work and no one that heard me had seen the commercial yet. Denny (not of Denny's restaurant fame) said, "So, you're the love machine! How about that?" A little embarrassing for a 50+ grandma, but funny too. He told Carrie about it and she said, "The Denny's commercial!" She explained about the commercial and said, "That's what she's singing! She's singing the Denny's theme song." Since then, more of them have seen the commercial and most all of us sing it."

- "I am a firm believer in the legalization of marij- oops.. wrong letter.. *cough cough* I am a firm believer that Denny's was created so that misguided, poverty stricken, socially spit-out youth- such as myself- are given a sanctuary in which to deposit there frustrations (with other indivduals of similar orientation) over some highly toxic Buffalo Chicken Strips.
Furthermore, I think- if there is a girl for me- I'll meet her, some wayward night, at Denny's... my Denny's Dream Girl... Me and my gang of scruffians live around Toledo- where do you think my chances are greater? Denny's Secor or Denny's Monroe Street?"

- "hey. i went to school with you. i was a student teacher for the "women & theatre" course for two years straight. graduated 95. my name was ryan, although now, i'm referred to as bigroy. actually found this site whilst looking up a name listed in the headers (you know who you are, so hello). i'll try and relate to your site, though, pfaff. i live in the northern bay- area of california. three weeks ago i went out with a couple of friends, drank a lot of irish whiskey (my job, which i just quit, actually paid me to drink things like that) and found myself at the local denny's. i ordered the porterhouse steak and eggs, as steak and eggs are always the perfect capper to an evening of whiskey-ing. the steak arrived bloody, although i requested "medium-well", and the eggs (supposedly sunny side up) were runny, translucent, and cold. i ate this anyway, and washed it down with the "denny's private reserve" coffee. needless to say, i was shortly the victim of a rather vile sort of food poisoning. in fact, so severe was the attack to my digestive system, i was actually forced to miss a day's work. this is the first sick day in two years that i was forced to take. however, there is an upside. one of my cohorts for the evening recently moved to florida to undertake a lofty and high-paying position with a software company. and i have tendered my resignation from said job, deciding to instead visit the wretched landmass of ohio for the holidays, and finally publish that novel. i still, throughout this entire ordeal, lay no responsibility on denny's. inc. actually, i think i may go there now. their coffee always helps me sleep........... western alumni, damned if i go to that reunion thing, though,"

- "I've written before, but I find it necessary to write again. Denny's food is still nasty, but while the prices have gone up, it seems that the portion size has gone down. I think this is another way of Corporate Denny's giving us the finger. We are already addicted to their coffee, so they feel they are free to toy with us by raising prices. I think we should all rise up and let them know how we feel! Don't become a victim! Don't be like me.FIGHT THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!!"

- "Can you say penny tip? Yes, that's what I left in the Denny's by Dayton Mall, Dayton OH - bad service, got our order mixed up, never came back to fix it, didn't leave silverware. I have now sworn off ALL Dennys forever EXCEPT the Kalamazoo MI one on Cork Street - only good one I've ever been in and I've been in ones from coast to coast.
And don't go to the Racine one (probably south Racine) in Wisconsin - charged us adult prices for stuff we ordered off the kiddie menu, which we were pointing to when we ordered. And the hostess just stood there when I complained (manager did give us back $10 when my more forceful daughter went in and very loudly demanded satisfaction)."

- "I truly love your quest. I work the Renaissance Faire circuit in Southern California (Santa Barbara, Ojai, Corona, Devore, Las Vegas and Long Beach(where I happen to live). I've been to I don't know how many Denny's in my area (four, I think), and stop at one on the way home from each faire (with most of my guild in tow) to harass the staff. I don't think I've seen any Al's, though. Will continue to look, and will probably send some pix (I like what you're doing, so I'm performing the sincerest form of flattery I know) If you ever come down here, please contact me, as my friends and I would be more than happy to help in your quest.
So. Cal is a Dennyphile's paradise. There's one approx. every 15-30 minutes along any major highway. In the boonies it's closer to 30-60 min. You could easily hit ten or more in a normal day, more if sleep is not required (yay coffee!).
A fun thing we started doing a few years back (this only works if they're taking names due to crowds), is to list about 3-4 extra people, under the name of Donner. When they call out to check: "Donner, party of 10", we answer "Make that 9!"...then 8....you get the idea. we usually get within one of the actual tally by the time we get a seat....great fun, though.
Keep up the good work!"

We got on I-95 northbound, and sat for about fifteen minutes, only travelling about two miles to the next exit, where we got off. Carrie, my SO, had already opened the glove compartment, whipped out the trusty Denny's travel guide, and located a restaurant about a mile off of the next exit.
So we stopped, ate, and started checking off the list of Denny's we've been to. When we started talking about creating a SQL database with web connectivity, just to keep our two lists, we decided we spend FAR too much time in Dennys.
We're planning to hit the one remaining one in town that she hasn't been to yet in the next week. :)"

- "Dearest p7a77;
I have in my possession, a Denny's nametag with the "MAGNETIC!!!!!!" back. Also not to be overshadowed, is the fact that this illustrious piece of Advantica hardware comes equipped with a gold Denny's 5 year pin attached! The only problem is the name doesn't say "p7a77" on it. However, you could do what us ex-general managers did and just dymo-tape your name over my name! I believe at this time, there is no brand standard as to the color the dymo-tape should be. Red, green, and blue background is perfectly acceptable.
At one point I was going to order you a nametag with p7a77 on it and send it to you so you could be in proper attire while traveling in Das Bus. Being out of uniform is grounds for written documentation p7! (EPR in Denny's lingo). Oh, Oh.......I almost forgot!!!!! I have a Denny's issue necktie from corporate as well! Holy shit p7a77, with some black dockers and a white oxford shirt I just promoted you to the glorious ranks of Denny's management! Congratulations! If you haven't seen the tie before it's a doozie! It has a black background and the word Denny's written all over it in assorted colors. A must for the trophy room. I also have a Denny's refridgerator magnet, but you can't have that treasure. It's mine dammit!"

- "This is more a general review then anything. I was reading these reviews and I cannot get over the number of denny's listed that I have attended...everyone listed in the states of michigan and illinois and several in missouri, texas, ohio, indiana and just all over the place. I travel alot and denny's is my haven. The denny's I frequent is the Glen Ellyn Denny's of Illinois. It is a wonderful Denny's, but my heart belongs to the 22nd street denny's (the one place I get free food at from any waiter). However, I do not go to that one any more because of the management. The man running the place will touch me and sit next to me and rub on me when I go in there...so I don't go in there any more. I'm warning if you are a cute girl around nineteen or twenty do not go there! This man can be recognized by his feminine voice and he is black with a almost shaven head."

Therefore you don't get the full response because I'm running out of time now. Highlights from the lost response: True or false? Sometime relatively recently (circe 1992or3) Denny's went on a nationwide spree of installing locks on all their doors b/c they were going to close for some holiday or something. Prior to that, Denny's were lock free because in fact they were "always open"."

- "This is in reference to the service i had on sunday 13th of september, i was there and placed my order at 1:08 and received my order at 2:00 not only was my wife and i disappointed but my other friends were disappointed as well for which we waited at least a hour for our food.not only was the food poor but in fact when i received my order my burger had to be sent back.There fore when i went to pay the bill I asked to talk to the manager for which he was in the kitchen helping out,for which i was told that i would have to wait 15 minutes to talk to him for which at that point i was at my wits end.In closing this was one of most bad experiences with your restraunt. i hope to herar from someone from the company. Thank you Dan"

- "I, Pastor J.L. Moore, as a customer that constantly eat at this establishment and encourage others to eat at this establishment, I was not happy to hear that it would not be extending their hours after a certain hour, a hour in which I most often eat. I always look forward to going to Denny's after I leave work, whether to get a full course breakfast meal or a dinner, there are others that feel as I. Therefore, we ask you to reconsider your closing hour to late night(24hrs). Food is good, service is good and setting is good. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
May God Bless you,"

- "hi. I thought your Denny's page was very attractive, and I was a fan of the restaurant as a small child also. However, I feel compelled to mention the notorious reputation of Denny's restaurants across the country for demonstrating racist behavior in their service to customers. Being a former Syracuse student myself, I might point out the incident that occurred at the Denny's on Erie Boulevard, which I'm sure you frequent. A couple of years ago some Asian students waited an abnormally long time to be seated, and when one of them complained, the management threw them out without justification. A number of customers then followed them out to the parking lot and assaulted the students, sending one or two to the hospital. I don't mean to crush your dream of an idyllic family restaurant. I just thought I would bring it to your attention! Hope you're enjoying Syracuse, even in the midst of the crazy weather up there lately."

It was a good day (esp. since one was a cow!). However, my friend Ashley and I have a question that no one knows the answer too. There is a song called "She's the One" that is played incessantly in Denny's, on one of their music tapes. It is also played in Wendy's, and was in the movie The Big Hit (but not on the soundtrack). Since you have visited over 100 Denny's, we thought maybe you would know Who sings this song????? The stupid waitress thought Paul McCartney, but we think she's wrong. "

I actually went so far as to give her a $5.00 tip for a cup of coffee. What was I thinking? I dunno. That she would suddenly be attracted to a mindless dork just because he gave her 5 bux... "

- " Hi.. I emailed you last year, way back when i was a Denny's novice. I've now been to Denny's in ten states (one of the rules is one Denny's per state.. so that would be only 10 Dennys) anyway, I have found that indeed, some Denny's do have horrible service. I went to college in Northern Wisconsin (Eau Claire -- a Denny-less city) and hadn't been to a Denny's in Minnesota. So my roommate and I drove to the Twin Cities one night and went to a Denny's in Bloomington. It was attached to a hotel -- the service was HORRIBLE. I had been anticipating the peanut butter chcoclate pie for weeks, but our server never came back with our check! (We could've screwed the Denny's people out a few bucks, but we told the manager we hadn't paid yet) My theory is he was getting wasted in the bar next door. Anyway, about two weeks after that I went to Boston with a friend for a hockey tournament - so of course, we planned our entire trip around how many states we could hit with Dennys. The same thing happened in Nashua, NH! The server took forever and I never got my pie! So we went to Denny's in Southington, CT, the next day -- same thing! I began to think there was a nationwide conspiracy against me. Later that day we went to Denny's in Worcester, MA (technically, we went to Denny's in three different states within 24 hours) and I FINALLY GOT MY PIE. It was great. I have no idea why you needed to know this, but hey, other people email more worthless things, so why not? "

- "As an Air Force brat who's traveled around the world more than he cares to talk about, I've naturally eaten at a lot of Denny's. However, in around 1986 or thereabouts, Denny's eliminated what was÷to my understanding÷a specialite de la maison for which it was world renowned: the Frankfurter Reuben. Simply put, it was a Reuben that used hot dogs instead of corned beef. It was my favorite, and naturally, I was quite distressed when, on sitting down at Denny's expecting to get my dose of sauerkraut, thousand island, Oscar Meyer Weiner and heart burn, I found it was no longer on the menu. Subsequent trips to other Denny's revealed the same depressing story: The reuben dog÷to me, the very icon of all that is kitschy and wonderful about Denny's÷had vanished. My question is this: have you ever encountered a Frankfurter Reuben in all of your travels to various Denny's? If so, where? Your help in answering this question is greatly appreciated."

- "Great job with the page!
I have been a waitress at Denny's in Kalamazoo Michigan for 5 years. And..it sucks! *L* I have been laughing while reading all the feedback you have here...some of it makes sense...others do not.
I agree wholeheartedly with the person who wrote about the racism issue...in regards to it being a lot of hogwash in a lot of ways. I know racism is not an issue where I work (although claims have been filed numerous times, they were always dismissed after investigation..call it an easy target)...and, all I can say is that Denny's the corporation is not teaching us to be racist little freaks...the problem is that we live in a society where people ARE racist, and, obviously disdain for others unlike yourself is a problem with certain INDIVIDUALS. I do not believe the restaurant is necissarily to blame.
I will say this, if I am prejudiced against any group of people...it's assholes, plain and simple. I don't care WHAT you look like..it's your attitude. The ONLY table I ever walked away from and refused to serve was an older white couple. I usually just take it. I have to. And working for Denny's, I have to take it more than I would anywhere else. It is perfectly okay for a customer to call me a bitch, a white bitch, a fucking piece of shit, to threaten me, ect, ect, ect. All I can do is walk away. Does anyone really think that they would be expected to put up with that kind of abuse anywhere else? And, I am often left to wonder how these same people would respond or feel if they were treated the same way at their place of employ. $2.65 an hour is NOT a lot of money to be dealing with things like this.
On the other hand, there are those customers that make it all worthwhile. Appreciative, and a pleasure to serve. I know we have a LOT of problems at the location I work at. Like people not showing up for work (just last night I got called back in after a 12 hour shift in the daytime to work all night...the only waitress walked out and no cooks or dishwashers showed up. I got the fun experience of running an entire restaurant by myself. Cooking a few orders (mostly I discouraged people from getting more than simple things, since I could not be on the line and out front at the same time) serving coffee, and trying to cash people out and keep tables bussed all at once. So yes, Denny's may not always be the best place for service, ect, but, no one person can do it on their own. I am amazed with the lack of work ethic anymore. You can hire all the staff you wish, but, if they do not show up, what can you do? You do the best you can do, and spend the entire shift praying no one gets too upset or yells, or tells you how pathetic you are. (Believe me, we already know!!!!) Thankfully for me, every single person I served while on my own last night was more than patient, and a joy to struggle to take care of. I cannot ask for much more than that!
In closing, all I have to say is that everyone should remember that employees are people too....and we cannot always be perfect. Especially when dealing with terrible situations. If we screw up...we are sorry...we need you for our money..(2.65 is not what we survive on!) and certainly do not try to piss you off on purpose! Sometimes a kind and understanding word, and a little patience on the part of the customer is all it takes to make what could be a bad experience much more enjoyable for all involved."

- "I live in Indiana and I have been to a Denn'y twice. The waitresses drag their feet with people waiting that haven't even been acknowledged as beeing visible to them. The tables had been wiped off but you really could tell that a dirty rag had been used. The small glass that seperates the sections and boths were so filthy you could not see through them. With my table still dirty and not wanting to touch it, mind you the waitress seated us at this dirty table, anyway I sat on my hands so I wouldn't touch the table. When we left the resuarant I noticed a real bad odor on my hands. The food was terrible. My biggest thing is that it looked so dirty in the eating area I wonder about the kitchen and wheather my plate is clean is my silver ware ok to use??? I wish I would have just walked out."

Do you know how I might find a way to send a gift certificate from that Denny's which was not too far from the Waterford Hotel near Nickles Hills ... or is there one near the Bank of Oklahoma in downtown Okla. City? Is there one in Norman? I suppose a gift certificate would be sort an all purpose all-Denny's certificate."

I luv this site cuz' it just puts a big grin on my face knowing that there are actually people out there besides me that is obsessed with Denny's. I have to admit, some kooky people that work at the Denny's Restaurants...atleast all the ones I've been to do. But that's what makes Denny's awesome...it's cool!

Ok, so the food usually sucks, and Denny's is over-priced for what you get...but the place has character you know! I think the logo rocks quite frankly. I have fond memories of the Cedar City, UT Denny's. I can always find friends there any night I go in (usually after midnight). The emerald-green atmosphere calms my homocidic nerves, and I forget the death plots against all you loser morons who can't appreciate the "singular" experience of Denny's."

Did you read the newspaper last week when a bus load of students, all races, went to a Denny's and they refused to serve the 2 black children. Bravo to the teacher who would not put up with it and left the premises, class and all! Please fight back by writing letters to the CEO of Denny's and not visiting their restaurants. We abhor this behavior especially for the future of our children. "

- "In the early 1960's I worked for Bank Of America branch at Chapman and Brookhurst in Garden Grove. In those days the owner, Harold Butler did all the banking at our branch. The original restruant, off I-5 in Orange County and a few others banked with our branch and I got to know Harold Butler since he came to my teller window quite a lot. Well, they had both Dennys and Dannys restruants in the chain at that time. The little bit of trivia is that I found out that Denny (the coffee shops of that day) and Danny (the upscale restruant) were named after his sons. I also learned that they had inspectors going from restruant to restruant. I used to have alot of fun, remember also I was much younger, going to the Dennys and telling the waitress that Harold Butler sent me. Boy, what great service. Everyone working in the restruant would wait on me hand in hand. More food, great service. I milked it for all it was worth. "

On our first, long day we plan on having our own, self-proclaimed "Denny's Day". We are going to eat at a different Denny's for every meal. We might even eat the same thing for each meal!

(I still think I need to visit Joseph in Colorado and make him show me the Denny's there.) It's not my fault there isn't anything else to do at 2 am except track down a Denny's. My new year's resolution is to visit every Denny's that is right off the 5 between San Diego and LA, whatever that means, but I am not limited to "off 5" Denny's. So far I have visited 18 total. My friends and I are just now getting together a sheet for recording our Denny's experiences. I've made up a web page to record my progress. It's at: http://members.aol.com/debbiesdca/den.html.

- "I happen to work for Denny's and all your complaints just make me laugh. I bet Most of the public deserve all the crappy service you are getting. I am a waitress and I have a real problem with they way you stingy jerks obviously flunked the % part of your math class in Jr high!!!! Do you know what 15% is? Ever wonder gee how much should I leave for a tip? The answer is 15% of your bill and if you enjoyed your service more.
I am not one of the fat lazy servers you are all so accustom to and I am extreamly friendly too and i just have a problem with the way all of you stereo type all servers just because they work at Denny's. Have you ever gotten made at your server because the food is taking to long tell me is that her fault???? No there are people called cooks that are getting paid a hell of alot more than that server you are yelling at. So don't just blow off her tip if she's apologizing for the service because she is really trying and if you are patient sooner or later when the cooks get there act together she will be coming around the corner with a smile on her face and if it really was that long of a wait no bill. But, remember that she served you your drinks and she was trying to make your visit nice but there is only so much she can do unless you want your food raw!!!!!!!
And also next time you complain about your server not coming as soon as you want her to take a look around at all 4 dining rooms and see exactly how many servers there are to handle that many people!!!!
Thanks for listening and if you do take my advise I hope your next visit to Denny's IS GREAT!!!!
Have a moons over my hammy for me!!!! "

Then we had to ask another waiter for our bill because we couldn't find ours at all...he directed us to the cashier with our table number....When we paid we asked to see the manager and it took him forever to get to us...We explained that even though the bill was paid we were very disgusted with the service...and all the manager said to us was that he was sorry and who was our server....I'm sorry but that was a very poor attitude...and the whole time he was smiling as if he didn't care. This is how businesses fail...poor attitude and lack of care."

We have started a band, The Homicidal Denny's Junkies (we're not a punk band, we're action rock) and hope to hit it big with our hit song (Pecan Pie With Raisens). We formed in December 1997. We love Denny's so much. We go to the local Denny's several times a day. When we get old enough to leave our houses, we hope to follow in your footsteps and tour the US in search of Denny's everywhere. You give us the hope that we are not wasting out lives away at Denny's as our parents tell us after coming home from each trip to the greatest place on earth. We just wanted to tell you how great you are and to keep the trip going. If ever at the Denny's in Hanover Park, IL, look for the group of teens filling the smoking section. We consists of Michelle Hamilton: 16, Kalet Anderson: 15, Jean Giak: 15, and Dom Arena: 16. We would be honored if you appeared on our album, Dom's on Crack, coming out in May 1998."

Here in the rather large state of Texas most of the restaurants don't even have different sections for smoking. I don't know about Denny's. The closest one is in Tyler (30 min drive). I don't know that I've ever eaten there. I've hit a bunch of Denny's between Northern Arkansas and here. I've never had any complaints about those Denny's. We do have a couple of local late night coffee/hamburger joints around here. One place called The Landing (The world may never know exactly why it's called that) has the best breakfasts around! $1.99 gets you 2 eggs, toast or biscuits, bacon or sausage, hashbrowns and gravy. This place doesn't stay open all night but it does close late and open early. As many times as I've eaten there they take one look at me and bring my OJ out and say "the usual?" Oh and this is a place that has a few tables in the back of the same room that they say are non-smoking. So no matter where you sit you get the full effect of the non smoke free environment! Long live the rather large state of Texas! where you're free to be an underage smoker without any more persecution than a stern look from the manager! (she's kinda bitchy that way)"

- "Wait... you're telling me they GAVE you a lapel pin?! *gasp* I've been wanting one of those forever. A few weeks ago, I wound up in Oregon somehow (I live in Phoenix), and I forced people to take me to Denny's, seeing as I have no license and no car (now there are 7 more Denny's followers). Anyway, there was a cool gay waiter named "Howard." Usually, if you ask people for their nametags and other paraphernalia, they get all bitter (hey, this IS Denny's we're talking about, no?) and come up with this spiel about how government agents are watching them and if they give up their pin they'll be executed or something. So I asked this Howard male if I could ahve his pin, and he gladly gave it up, explaining that he knew his name and did not need a nametag to remind him. Is a Denny's evolution under way?! Another waiter told me I could steal a carafe and menu, as long as I didn't tell anyone he gave me permission. What a guy, eh? Anyway, I haven't checked out the Project: Denny's page in a while, and it's expanded; I love it. Have you ever been to the Gay Denny's (aka: Jenny's) in Phoenix (7th St, and Camelback Rd.)? It's great. I mean, even if you get hit on by members of the same sex, it's very amusing. There's even a cool gay waiter named "Tony" that does table dances if you ask him nicely. I've been working on a Denny's-related page on my spare time (which is next to never). Check it out if you'd like... I even wrote a nice little ditty, the "Denny's Creation Story." I've also got Denny's pictures from various trips to the Mecca of Food (tm), and Denny's poetry by various artists. Have you any suggestions? Have a nice day.

I mean, not a "European pace" as my husband would say, but more like an hour, minimum, to even get your order taken. Anytime, anywhere, any Denny's."
