Recent state and national reports have not been good for some major restaurant operators as news that the iconic Shari’s Cafe & Pies goes out of business and Denny’s announces the closure of 150 locations. 

A customer, who was there with family having a late dinner, said she observed a man come into the restaurant at about 2:40 a.m., and he brandished a knife and demanded money from the Denny’s employee behind the register. 

On May 9th, 2023, at 11:31 p.m., The Dalles Police Department responded to an armed robbery at Denny’s restaurant located at 1710 West 6th Street, The Dalles.
