Denny's 5201 San Antonio Drive Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87109

"This was the Denny’s I always chose to come to before any other in Albuquerque. I’m sad to say that in the last few visits, it has gone downhill significantly. I showed up Sunday noon-ish with my niece & nephews as I wanted to treat them to breakfast before spending the day together as I don’t often get to, due to a busy work schedule. Upon arriving, one of the front doors was shattered so we walked around to use the other one, no big deal being that it’s Albuquerque. However, once inside, I was completely turned off to not be greeted by either worker at the front. One of them, a busser/server, it seemed like with shaggy, outgrown hair, looked at us and walked away without saying a word. Nobody came to help us for about 10 minutes. Not even to let us know someone would be with us shortly. So I started to look around & was even more put off by the environment they had people dining in. There were not one, not two, not even 3 but 6 dirty tables that had not been cleared. Full of dirty dishes all over. Mind you, we are the only people waiting at this point & nobody is anywhere to be seen. I strongly contemplated leaving but my niece and nephews were set on pancakes & we had already driven across town to eat here. Shortly after, more parties start arriving and FINALLY workers start bussing tables. The busser mentioned earlier, the boy with shaggy hair, walks up to a table, grabs the cash tip from it & as he’s about to WALK AWAY without clearing it, he sees me staring at him. So he turns around and grabs just a couple plates from it and leaves. He never returned to finish cleaning the table. Instead, he starts making rounds at other tables as if to beat other bussers to the tips meanwhile a lady busser came out to finish whatever he didn’t. The lady busser I’m mentioning ended up being our waitress. She was amazing & is truly the only reason I’m giving 2 stars. Once seated, the service was great & the food was also good. But the experience as a whole has definitely put me off from ever returning to this location as it felt pretty mediocre. The busser with shaggy hair left such a bad taste in my mouth as far as tipping cash. I didn’t even feel safe tipping cash out of fear that my server, who worked for it, wouldn’t get it, so we just tipped on the card. Some time management & customer service training would probably improve the atmosphere significantly. Won’t be back to see it though. Just hoping they really take these reviews into consideration."

"Me and a cute date came to this location on a whim at 3am in the morning. We both want to say Asia you are a great server! You made us feel welcome and have a great friendly feel! Thank you!"

"Been to this location a couple of times and each time Mario was our server. He is very attentive and goes above and beyond as a server! The restaurant was a little dirty but as soon as Mario had a break between helping us and other guest he began cleaning and stocking his tables. I wish the girls working with him could help out a little more, I know each employee has their set duties and areas but as the old saying goes “if you got time to lean you got time to clean” they could have done teamwork and helped clean around the restaurant instead of just standing there."

"Great service, food was delicious just a little under seasoned and the biscuits were hockey puck hard."

"We have always have a great experience with the staff in this restaurant. They are polite and attentive. The restroom could use some more attention and refills in the soap. Overall a great place to dine."
