WATERBURY, CT — A Denny's restaurant at 939 Wolcott St. has permanently closed, The Waterbury Republican-American reported. The location closed suddenly on Oct. 31.

And if you're not familiar with Denny's history here it is via the company:

"For more than 65 years Denny’s has been bringing people together over great food. It’s the place where people can relax and be themselves while enjoying classic American comfort food and everyday value. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Come in and order the usual or try something new..."

Denny's has the "world-famous Build Your Own Grand Slam®," and also makes an assortment of burgers and specialty milkshakes.

Reviews of the "Waterbury-based Denny's" wasn't too favorable. Here's a sampling: "Host handed us our menus and pointed where to sit instead of seating us. Took order on a napkin and got orders wrong. Very UNprofessional...Waiter didn’t bring food to table. A waitress off the clock brought the food out and was so great. The manager just watched the room and did nothing. Very disappointed."

"The worst take-out I have had in a long time. The problems ranged from missing components of meals, missing items that I had ordered, cold food and the ridiculous packaging they use. I ended up throwing my dinner out."

"The worst service ever 15 minutes after ordering the coffee comes 50 minutes later still no egg breakfast. The place wasn't even busy. (Their) excuse was the cook's were fighting. Do your self a favor find another place the staff is terrible."
