Denny's - Chinle, Arizona

This Denny's is the best! The food is super yummy, service is fast and friendly and it's always clean. I've been here at least 5 times and each time great food. Bourbon burger, bourbon chicken, salad, chicken fried chicken, milkshakes.

I didn't know this Dennys was here. A little out of the way but a great detour and relaxing meal break. Our server was extremely nice and helpful. When we entered, there was a large list of items that they had run out of. The 5 stars on the food was because none of the items impacted our orders, the Moons Over Myhammy, American Breakfast, and Veggie Omelet. We all enjoyed every bite. Great stop, and highly recommended.

My grandson was hungry. So, i decided to stop here to get him some breakfast. I regret not turning around immediately as I walked through the first set of doors.

It was there. I was hit with a smell of burnt or burning food. I personally do not like the smell. Especially if it lingers for an entire day. As I walked through the next set of doors, the smell got worse. Now I knew that this wasn't good. But my 6 year old grandson is hungry.

Mind you that this is 8 o'clock in the morning. The sun was shining into the dining area, and there I could see the lingering smoke of the burnt food. The smell to me was horrible, and now I can see the evidence.

The highest compliment I could give is here. We were greeted immediately by the seating host. He was friendly and led us through the smoke to our table. The dining area was clean. Smokey and smelly, but overall, it was clean and seemed in order.

This is where it slowly becomes even worse. We sat for about 4-5 minutes before our waitress took our drink order. It was 8:06 when she took our drink order. She did not return until 8:11 with coffee and a small apple juice. At the time, there were only two other tables that were occupied.

Once we received our drinks, we placed our order. My grandson wanted the Build Your Own Jr. Grand Slam and the Jr. "Premium" Chicken Tenders. While all I asked for was the side of biscuit and gravy.

Our waitress was perky and energetic. It was nice to see, but it just didn't fit in with the slow, smoke fillled, stinky room. Her demeanor definitely did not reflect or match my mood. Of course, by that time, her energy was just plain annoying.

As I checked, the time after I finished my first cup of coffee, which had already gone cold, was 8:18. I look over to the food prep area, and i could see plates of food under the warming lamps. I'm assuming they were warming lamps. 2 minutes later, our waitress comings bouncing back with a smile and tells me they have no biscuits for my order. I then just ask for a short stack of pancakes.

My cup is empty and there's nothing in her hands. She could have brought more coffee. Or maybe with her energy it would be too dangerous for her to bounce across the room with a hot pot of coffee.

I kept watching the food under the lamps. By the time the food was moved from under the lamps it was 8:30. The food that was sitting there was my grandson's order. When our food was delivered, it was by the seating host. He didn't deserve my verbal dissatisfaction with the service, but I asked him to convey the message. By now, my cup is empty. So I asked him kindly for a refill.

See the pictures of food. The Jr Grand Slam we received was not like the picture. I laughed at the waitress when she asked, "Do you want it just like the picture?" I repied, "I seriously doubt it'll look like the picture." And I was right.

All the pancakes were overcooked on one side and on a separate plate. Nothing looked consistent. The eggs were probably equivalent to 2½ to 3 eggs scrambled. The chicken tenders were anything but premium.

My pancakes definitely were overcooked and nearly burnt. My attempt to cut through the pancakes with my fork was unsuccessful. I had to use the knife to cut through the thick, overcooked layer. But I managed to get through it.

My pancakes were warm, but not so for the Jr Grand Slam. The food had just cooled enough to feel cold. We both didn't finish our food. By the time we were done receiving our food, the time was 8:30. The second cup of coffee was horrible, and it tasted watered-down down.

3 stars was not fair. 2.5 would be better. Our bill did not reflect the change made. I struggled with not leaving a tip. But I left 16%. I'm mean, but not that mean. My minimum for better service and honest communication is 20%. This place is independently owned by who I assume is Navajo. I'm Navajo. I won't comment on service provided to non-Navajos because i mind my own business.

I wouldn't eat here again.

I arrived at 0630 and waited several minutes to be seated. Restaurant was not busy. Staff was heard laughing in the back and no one came out to seat me right away. Finally I stuck my head around the corner and said HELLO and someone finally saw me. When the hostess came out she got offended when I complained about waiting and refused to seat me. She remarked that I should be nicer to which I replied she should be more readily prepared to serve me. Usually this place has better service. Today they dropped the ball!!! Do better Chinle!

We ordered crepes breakfast. The waitress didn’t ask how we wanted our eggs cooked and brought them out over easy. Yuck! The strawberries on top of the crepes were rotten and the sausage was probably 2 days old.

Our server was Kee B!! Such a nice guy, I hope he sees his tips from today. We came in this morning, waited for a minute before staff told us they were short. We didn’t mind. He seemed stressed about everything but he memorized my family’s order without having to write it down and got everything right.
