Denny's

Our favorite restaurant.
We drive 45 minutes to visit this restaurant because we receive a warm, friendly greeting the minute you enter.
Wait staff is super friendly and always gets our order perfect, the cook is magnificent and cooks our food to perfection, lots of menu options, very affordable with good size portions.
Even when they seem short staffed, they aren't just dropping food and running off...coffee is refilled and we are asked if we need anything else ?? We are sad Denny's in New London closed, but are happy to enjoy this restaurant and the people who are here

How do I even start this...? I'm pretty sure they changed the owners here because the service was so bad! I've always gone to this Denny's when I was younger, and I've never had such a horrible experience.
To start, the workers in the kitchen weren't wearing any hairnets, not to mention none of the staff were even wearing uniforms.
We found multiple hairs in a burger.
Our strawberry pancake puppies were BURNT and not just crispy, and when we complained about it, our waitress said "They're meant to be like that".
The waiters constantly forgot about our orders and were very rude and didn't put any effort into their jobs.
They also were high and reeked of marijuana, the bathrooms smelled even stronger.
There was more cheese than the macaroni itself.
When we ordered two milkshakes with extra cups on the side, we received two MILK SHAKERS, but at least the milkshakes were good.
The funniest thing about last night was when my friend asked if there was any cross-contamination for their gluten-free items, they said their gluten-free items did have cross-contamination! DON'T COME HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY! I came here for my birthday and my family asked the staff to surprise me with some sort of ice cream or song and they didn't do anything.
Our food took WAY TOO LONG for only having two other small tables and the puppies (starters) came AFTER our main meals came out.
Will not be going back.

Foods ok....

Waitress was awful.
