    I like this Dennys better than other ones nearby. The service is better and the restaurant itself is cleaner. We have always enjoyed the food. It is not fabulous, but filling and tasty. We have come at many different times and have always been happy with our choice. They have great Groupon deals, too and you can sign up for their club, too.

    I used to like to stop in for late breakfast and it had been awhile. Over ten minutes invisible, no server, at about fifteen minutes, it's time to leave. Not busy, and have three servers chatting on the kitchen. This is the second time I've walked out for the same thing. I believe in second chances, but no thirds.

    I wish I knew the name of our server. A young lady working and going to college. Very friendly, thorough and prompt. Good food as always. Watch for Groupon deals here!

    Great service, food was hot and as advertised and it was very clean (not immediately after my 2 yr old was finished eating but I am sure they cleaned up the mess right away). Our server was very accommodating to us- we will be back ASAP!

    My wife and I used to go to Denny's in Otsego for our weekly dinner out - often times as an alternative to Rockwoods when they looked packed. The staff at Denny's was always courteous and the food was good. Our last visit changed our view of this restaurant - we are not going to come back. We went there on a Friday night and our server was pleasant but seemed to not have her head in the game. My wife ordered the half plate of nachos. When they arrived we dug in and they were good as usual. I commented that the order seemed large for half an order. We asked our server about that when she came back with our entrees and she looked a bit confused at first then admitted it was a full order of nachos - but not to worry about it. When our check came - sure enough she had billed us for the full order. We asked her about it when we saw her walk by our table and she took our check and was gone for a long time. She came back and sheepishly told us that she got it reduced to the half order price, which meant $3 off. I was kind of expecting to just not be charged for the nachos because of all the hassle - but whatever. We took our check up to the front to pay and leave. The manager was at the cash register (the MANAGER) and she was arrogant and rude and more or less accused us of pulling a fast one on our nacho order (so we could rip Denny's off for $3???). She delivered her accusation as if she were the "all knowing, all seeing" wisened owl! I looked back at her with amazement and disbelief, paid the check, left a $1 tip and we left... and we haven't been back since. As a source of bemusement to ourselves - my wife and I do refer back to this experience as our "Great Nacho Caper" at the Denny's in Otsego because we successfully "scored" $3 in free nachos... :-(

    Went there with mom and sister, haven't gone in awhile due to poor service from before and we waited usual time for food, no problem there. But they got my mom's food wrong and took like double the time than usual to make a simple omlett. Then they got the omelet wrong AGAIN and none of the omlett sides came with it (no hashbrowns or toast). By this time me and my sister are done eating and we're just waiting for my mom's hashbrowns and toast. When we pulled our server aside (Jed) and asked, he said that they were debating on remaking the toast and hashbrowns or not. My mom is angry and upset and so am I about this whole thing and we finally get her the hashbrowns but they're undercooked and made very sloppily looking. We ask for a manager and we get the crabbiest, meanest one we've ever gotten. She (Lisa) doesn't decide to give us free food or try to cut the bill price in half, but instead tries to bargain with my mom about taking off 2 dollars and nothing less. We're just angry and frustrated, my mom doesn't get to eat and we got the toast right when we're just about to leave and we just had a horrible experience. Also if I could I'd give them a 0/5 stars.

    I love Denny's. It is a great place to stop after a super long day and get some good food. It is open all night which is great when you are out all night. Their food is delicious, it never really changes but how can you change it when everything is delicious! I think the staff is always pleasant and attentive. Love this place!

    My wife and I have been coming to this Denny's since it was Embers, then the Otsego Cafe, now Denny's. This location has always been a great place to eat, great food, great staff, sometimes some bad live music, but the people the music is catering towards are always having a blast. The one time, out of the hundreds of visits, that we had our order wrong, they corrected it very quickly and still gave us a discount, because they are one of the few restaurants that care about their customers these days. That shows all over the entire place. You walk into this Denny's and you begin to feel like family. My wife is pregnant, and they have remembered this every time and many of the staff members stop by and talk to us while we are there. I know this is just a Denny's but this like no other Denny's or casual sit down we have been to. Whenever my wife and I can't decide where to eat, we always end up here, no matter how far we have to drive. Management is superb and so are the wait staff. I would recommend them to any one looking for good food, and a great atmosphere.

    I know what you are thinking...seriously, is this broad giving 5 stars to a Denny's? Yes. Yes, I am. Why? I was at this Denny's roughly 10-12 times over 3.5 days. If we were not on wedding duty, we were at Denny's. We saw every shift change, every meal, ever smile in the joint! Each one was 5 stars. Dude - how can you NOT love this place? I mean sure, it is a Denny's. Same menu from coast to coast. Grand slam. Moons over my hammy. We get it. But the staff - AWESOME! We were out of towners (which was evident at our inability to pronounce the town name), some from MN, some from the east coast, some from TX. The Minnesota winter was killing us and each time we walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome, silly banter and a genuine smile. And the claw machine - we rocked that mofo! Dora the Explora who is only worth a quarta..OR COURSE I will pay five dollars for you! The locals patrons even gave us extra quarters to win her when we ran out and gathered around to cheer us on. Overall the place was clean, the food was quick and warm, the "special orders" were right and the staff was very attentive - regardless of the hour or how goofy and annoying we may have been due to exhaustion and or a drink or two. All of which is hard to find these days, anywhere! Thanks Ostego Denny's! And to the server I had the in-depth conversation with about you getting your own HS apart from Elk River -- Ostego Fighting Ostriches Forever!!

    We ate at this Denny's on the recommendation of the guy at the gas station across the street. I was getting hangry (hungry/angry) and apparently this is the only restaurant in the area - so it was either Denny's or get junk food at the gas station and keep on trucking - so we stopped at Denny's. We walked in the door and were greeted and sat immediately. Hot coffee with cream came moments later and we had our order in pronto. Both my hubby and I got grand slam build your own breakfasts. They came quickly and the food was hot and my pancakes were so GOOD! Usually when I order pancakes I either get a little golden tire served to me - or I have to eat around the middle which is undercooked pancake batter. These were perfection with tons of golden butter and maple syrup. SOOOOO GOOD. Our waitress was in training and had a senior waitress trailing her. Would our service have been so good if we hadn't had two waitresses who were trying really hard to do right? I have no idea - but I sure enjoyed the quality service! The only downer was that my hubby didn't react well to the food. Not sure if it was just that Denny's is so foreign to his diet that it affected him badly or if something in the food itself was bad - but it did put a damper on the day.
