Denny's

Worst experience I have ever had at a Denny's.
1st off, nobody wanted to take our table.
The bartender "got stuck" with us after taking our drink orders.
After 20 mins only 1 plate out of 5 came out.
After 40 mins, yelling and screaming in the kitchen about food waits and items 86'd.
After 50 mins, food comes out, and my food is completely dead.
Manager was asked to the table, and only offered to remove the bad item from bill and offer a 15٪ discount.
Honestly disappointed with this whole experience.
I just wanted to have a decent meal with the family, and ended up with a travesty.

Server was Lacey L. Date: Jun 15th, 2024.
5:30pm Place was clean, but the condition of their booth seats were lacking.
The two of us were seated at a booth that had a giant tear on the other side, forcing my mother and I to sit together- not the end of the world- but rather unprofessional. The food came out hot and fresh, but still very underwhelming. My mother ordered the Philly Cheese steak Omelet w/ hash browns, and the Philly omelet was under seasoned, and her hash browns were burnt and thin.
Her wheat toast came out 5 minutes after her main course came out- whatever. My barbecue bacon grilled chicken burger w/ seasoned fries was OK...
but the burger bun definitely couldn't handle the entire thing. Originally, I wanted to order the Mac n' Brisket skillet, but they were cleaning their ovens at this time, so I couldn't get the oven-baked Mac n' cheese! This does NOT reflect the review however, since I assume it was a hired cleaning service and not someone in-house.
(Seriously, right before dinner rush?) Lacey did not check up on us while eating, no questions about refills, no "how are you doing? Is everything tasting alright?" No acknowledgement whatsoever. We still wanted to order dessert, but Lacey came to our table and immediately dropped off the cheque, said "have a good rest of your day" and scampered off...
We felt unwelcomed, and we felt like we were being rushed out. She arrived about 10 minutes after we were almost finished up, offered for the hashbrowns to be remade, but we declined- it was already past the point where it'd be done in a timely manner. When my mother mentioned how bad they looked, Lacey said "yeah, they look pretty bad".
A server is the FINAL line of defence between bad food and the customer.
If she admitted they looked bad, maybe she should've asked the cook for a remake right away... We were at least offered a 15% discount for our displeasure, but still wasn't asked if there was anything else we could get. Overall, underwhelming, poor service.
I've worked food industry, and I understand that tip culture is EXTREMELY necessary for most people, but this just wasn't a good service that I'd tip 15-20% for. Would rather go to Perkins next time we're in Sioux Falls.

Ordered a to go order. Cali Club Sandwich 1/5. Missing the avocado.
missing bacon.
Also big tomato chunks. Nachos 2/5 Missing jalapenos.
Wasn't packaged separately.
They usually separate the chips.
Heard them say those nachos are to go.
I'm guessing they just flipped it into the box. Grand slamwich 3/5 not too bad not too good. Wait time was a little delayed but I didn't mention anything about how the nachos were packed at the time because I didn't want to have to wait any longer. I've dined in here before and i hope they can improve as this is the last Denny's in town.
