Denny's - Hermiston

I stopped here for dinner. My phone was dead and I needed a reasonably priced room. The waitress directed me to a booth with an outlet and while I studied the menu, she found me a room! I wish I had remembered her name!

Service was awesome. Haven’t gotten the food yet but I’m sure it’ll be good. 10/10

They have improved a lot. They now have quick and pleasant service, the food is made and brought to the table in a timely manner, and the coffee is good. The wait staff is also friendly, but I think there needs to be more on the team because ours seemed overwhelmed. She was very nice and attentive, though. Keep up the good work, Dennys!

Got Wild Turkey 101 back in stock, thanks. Mashed potato's are somewhat better. Still a problem with the AC. Upped the rating a bit.We usually eat in the lounge, but of late it has been freezing cold and we have been told by the waitstaff that they are not allowed to adjust the thermostat. One time it was 57º outside and the air conditioner was running inside. Again, waitstaff said the could not do anything about it. Still bundled up in our coats, we got up to leave, not ordering, but paying for our coffee that had gotten cold. On our way out, we saw the manager and told her of the problem and she said that she would adjust the temp. We said that it was too late and that we were leaving. Why didn't the waitstaff go get her when we first complained?The food is usually OK, but something changed with the mashed potatoes. More like potato soup now. Add some clams and you could call it clam chowder.Also of late, the bar has been poorly stocked. They are out of Wild Turkey 101 and Pendleton Rye and have been for weeks. If this trend continues, we will have to take our business elsewhere. This would be a shame, because this used to be one of the best run Denny's in the country.

Not a big fan of Denny's to be honest, but we stopped by and our waitress, Melody, went above and beyond. The food was good. Melody made our day.
