We party of four, stopped for breakfast around 5:30am early, before going to work and it took awile before we even got waited on ,to be asked if we wanted a drink ....there were two servers working ,then it took a bit to take our order ,another thirty minutes before our order was ready . Now we ordered the grad slam $8.00 in which the server didnt offer us any specials or tell us any thing ,the food was over cooked , warm plates but the breakfast tasted cold,coffee was too strong,an only one little creamer servered for two people! The only thing that tasted good was the Florda orange juice! As we were eating one of the servers starting to vacume ,stiring up dust that went into our plates and a few didnt want to eat !We didnt see why the server didnt vacume before our food was served,or before anyone was seted,not while we had just started to eat!!After we finally got served our breakfast we hardly ate much before the server had said ill bring your check and didnt ask if we wanted anything else maybe a piece of pie would have been nice! We felt rushed out the door ,inwhich actually we were glad to leave and wont be returning !!We've all been to Dennys before and never experienced this !!Please train your cooks and wait staff better!!Needless to say at least we left a good tip! Unsatisfactory customers ,thank you !
