Denny's

Update: 8/10/24 many changes in the past 2 years and things seemed to be getting better, such as the food, the service and employee attitudes. That was until today, at 5:15PM , we (2 people) wanted to sit in a booth where I could relax, due to my gout. The seater wanted to sit us at a table in the middle where my gout foot could be bumped. So I ask, can we sit in a booth about 5ft from the table, but she shot back, WE ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THIS SECTION, AND KEEP EVERYONE CLOSER TO THIS SIDE OF THE RESTAURANT. I said it was just a couple of feet away. she said I GUESS I CAN PUT YOU IN THAT BOOTH, BUT YOU DON T UNDERSTAND THAT WE 'VE BEEN BUSY SINCE 1PM. I said I don 't want to put you out, thanks for letting me know what an imposition we are. WE did get a snide smile and a wave good bye as we left. maybe remember who keeps Denny 's in business, it ain 't the seater We 've been going to Denny 's for over 35 years, but the service has gone down hill in the past 2 years. Today our server did nothing but complain, from the time we were seated, until we left. Complaints about the customers wanting better service, or no tip because of bad service. We ordered the regular Grand Slam, and took almost 1/2 hour. Another customer ordered 1 milkshake, and he was complaining it took 25 minutes to make. He told the manager, and the manager said, we are short staffed, and things take longer. The customer replied there are only 4 tables being used, and the manager said, if you don 't like it, you can just leave, and not come back. Our server never gave us a bill, and we found out she didn 't want to be around the manager, so she was taking a time out. While we were waiting, a bus boy dropped menus on the floor, then picked them up, and put them back in a pile with the other menus, that will eventually be put on the tables. There were more employees than customers, and they were having problems getting the food out.

I am vegetarian, in Pittsburgh it can be tricky to find a place to have a meal, I do eat eggs occasionally, last night I order an omelet with caramelized onions and tomatoes, and it is typically made with bacon too, I ask to omit the bacon, and sadly it had bacon, I made it clear no bacon, I had a few bites when I discovered the bacon, of course went to the restroom because it made me throw up, waitress excuse, cooks never listen men, I was not going to say anything but my friend was pissed, she never took it off the bill I just chalked it up to experience, but it is sad that a person who is vegetarian or gasp vegan you cannot got to a restaurant like Denny's and get a simple meal, truly in Pittsburgh a city this size it is limited where you can eat and you are feared what you may get, well another restaurant I cannot eat at guess it's coffee for me ...

Clearly it's BYOB .. came in around 815 today (Aug 1) there was 2 people sat in the back, girl wearing only a bikini top, they were swearing, f bomb this and that, speaking loud, acting like fools , the one guy was DRINKING A CAN OF BEER. .which he proceeded to CHUG and then BURP as loud as he could !! I'm sure the workers definitely saw it and just chose to say nothing about it ofcourse...kinda typical at this restaurant..

Food was good but our waitress was MIA. Had to ask another waitress for more coffee.

Very good food Service was courteous. 07.18.24 Hash browns were dry and overcooked probably from breakfast otherwise everything was great.
