I went to get my 300 boothbucks to make it 600 before the promo ended. They said they couldn't do anything about it, so I went ahead and called corporate. I called, explained what happened, and they added the 300 boothbucks I was owed to my account.

Horrible Denny's experience with manager

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Service slow with 1 server and 1 cook for 9 tables.
  • - The manager at the cashier did not help, claiming they were unloading a truck on Feb 12 at 5pm.

We went to Denny's after work and they only had 1 waitress and 1 cook. There was 9 tables with customers and although it was slow service and waited awhile for our food it was understandable.

What I am upset about is that the cashier that i thought was a customer at a table ended up being the manager. I asked her if she was the manager why she wasn't helping out instead she was just sitting down and only go up to cashier. She told me she had been unloading a truck but we never saw her get up.

This is not the first time this specific manager just sits there knowing how busy this establishment is. This was on Feb 12 @ 5pm.

Also, sent a email to corporate and got no response.

Unwanted

AI Highlights
  • - I wasn't called when I was needed.
  • - I'm missing part of my pay; only a $100 paper check for 4–5 days.
  • - I'm a hard worker and should be valued.

I wasn't given any calls about me being needed or about me wanted to be there i also am still missing part of my pay I was told I might have another check coming I surely to god hope so for the business's sake and well being because I was only wrote a $100 paper check for like 4 or 5 days of working so I hope I dont have to call the better-business-bureau/bbb befor this issue is resolved plz and thank you very much...

I am a very hard worker and should be treated more like a valued employee instead of a bother or made to feel as if you were not needed or wanted after the first talk about getting the job is when it was like I felt I wasn't wanted there or needed there

Preferred solution: The rest of my pay possibly either another chance at employment to make to be felt more appreciated possibly

Refusal of gift card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Dined at Dennys Prescott Valley; a $50 gift card was not accepted; food was ok and service was very good; no response to the complaint.

We had a

Meal at Dennys Prescott Valley on Sunday, August 17 at around

10:30 am. When we went to pay, they would not accept a Dennys gift card that had a balance of 50 dollars.

The card # - -96713 2**** 6096 pin 2942. This kind of stuff really gives Dennys a bad name.

How can we rectify this situation. PSthe food was ok the service was very good.

UpdateSeptember 3, 2025 they have never responded to my complaint so I guess Im stuck with a worthless $50 Dennys gift card because we wont be going back.

Dennys Restaurant - REFUND

My order was cancelled. It was February 9 of this year.

I had a massive stroke and I am now stuck in a wheelchair. Yesterday, I called Denny's in Big Spring, Texas. The lady said my refund would appear later on in my bank statement.

I only want a refund of $16 in my bank account. Is that so hard?

Complaint

AI Highlights
  • - No-onion request ignored.
  • - Waffles burnt, eggs undercooked; drink spilled and cup sticky; waited over an hour for near $100, refund requested.

Subject: Request for Refund Due to Inedible Food & Ignored Requests

To the Manager in Charge:

I hope you're well. I'm writing regarding my recent large order placed on 06/22/2025.

I went to the restaurant and can say the experience I had was one of the worst, honestly. The girl working was very kind and helpful, but the rest was not so good. Plus, people asking for blues looked like they were under the influence, and there were homeless people hanging out, making it a very uneasy situation. I specifically requested no onions on any of my food due to the fact we are dangerously allergic to onions, and there were onions on there.

The waffles were burnt; they were so black and crunchy. The eggs were undercooked and looked like they were just cracked open. The drink was all over the cup, and I was all sticky just from grabbing the cup.

On top of all that, I literally had to wait for over an hour to even get this food that I couldn't eat, nor could any of my family. I spent close to $100.00, and the entire meal was inedible.

Loss:
$85

Preferred solution: Full refund

If you want a refund RETURN the food. I would think that if there were onions on the food and you are allergic you would have returned the food. Same with the Burnt waffiles and undercooked eggs.

Guest

Take the visually-apparent overcooked food that was inedible back for your refund. Aside from that there is not much you can do.

You would need to go back for a refund anyway.

Why not arm yourself with the evidence? (In addition to the fact anything not used/worn/eaten in a claim of quality needs presented as anyone can lie).

Usually, when people do not return the food and ask for a refund, they are lying. This is probably the case and he literally "ate the evidence."
