We arrived at this location due to the positive reviews. I asked for the gluten free menu because it is listed that they have a gluten free menu. The server said they did not have one but they had gluten free English muffins?

We sat anyways and opened the menu, luckily all of the items that are gluten free are labeled in the regular menu. I'm not sure why the server did not just say that.

There were 4 of us that sat down and there were only 2 placemats and silverware for 2. They never did bring over settings or silverware for the other 2 people in our party so we just took thm from another table.

The server took our order and repeated it back. A few minutes later another server came over and asked us to repeat our order because they were confused.

They brought the food and a English muffin that did not look gluten free. I asked and the server said it was. Not being sure I set it aside and then another worker came over and said that it k deed was not gluten free and said they would make me one that was gluten free.

The whole reason we went here was because of the good gluten free reviews and the staff was not accommodating and careless on serving items given my allergies.

We finally went to pay and we have AAA that says we get a 10% discount at all Denny's. It actually showed up on my AAA app for the location we went to. The cashier said they don't accept it there only AARP. I showed them the app and they just said no and ignored me and just left the bill open until I inserted my credit card and paid the full price.

This by far has been the worst service I have ever received at a restaurant.

Probably safe but pricey and poor service. There are many better places for gluten free food.

Menu all labelled clearly as gf. English muffin gf. Server knew to ask me if I wanted toasted where the wheat toast is grilled. I said no, so I had it not toasted. It was fine as I dipped it in my eggs! Ate there twice, wasn't ill- all good!

Do not visit this Dennys location with Celiac under any circumstance!! They have gluten free English muffins, but it doesn’t seem like the cooks understand what the difference is between a gluten and gluten free muffin. They gave me a gluten muffin on my takeaway order and I didn’t find out until I got home. The grill and fryer are also not dedicated gluten-free despite the fries being labeled as gluten-free.

Once I arrived I asked if they have a Gluten Free menu like I was told, they said they didn’t. They managed to compromise with a burger with no bun. Wouldn’t recommend for a meal

Denny’s has gluten free options, but the servers do not seem to understand anything about out how stuff is prepped at this one, but the server brought the chef out to talk to me about how things are prepared. He sad each thing like eggs, bacon and sausage, and hash browns all have their own station. The gluten free English muffins are done in the same toaster though and he offered to clean it out but I told him not to worry about it.

He cleaned all the surfaces just in case something happened and he was happy to do it. Even came out to check on me and see how things were and make sure I knew he cleaned everything before even though those surfaces shouldn’t have had anything with gluten made on them.

I waited for 18 hours before doing this review to make sure I didn’t get sick and I have not. I usually get very sick very fast even from cross contamination.

Food was delicious. I got 2 linked sausages, 2 eggs over easy and hash browns

Let’s face it. We don’t go to Denny’s for the cuisine. Yet they are always my travel back up plan. I’ve never ever gotten sick from their naturally GF eggs, breakfast meat, hash browns or fruit. Always tell my server my allergy and apologize about needing extra care taken that my food is on a freshly cleaned section of the grill. Reliable food when on a road trip.

If you’re gluten free keep driving.

The GF english muffin that I’ve had at other Dennys and is advertised all over the menu isn’t carried here. There are still other basic options but a lot involve substituting a GF english muffin.

The place feels dirty as well
