1.0 of 5 stars. Food came fast, too fast, my bacon was even hardly cooked, still had the clear white fat on it! The juice cups were miniscule. I had pancakes, bacon and potatoes. Pancakes were okay, I could do…

Makes Denny's look like The French Laundry

Food takes forever, poured coffee right in front of my six month old baby, and threw away my customer evaluation without even reading it. Customers don't matter to Heidi's.
