    I am writing to share feedback about my experience earlier today, as it left me quite disappointed and uncomfortable. I ordered a T-bone steak with eggs and hash browns, requesting that the steak be cooked rare. When my meal arrived, the steak was well-done, with no pink. I politely asked for it to be redone. The second steak, however, was undercooked to the point of being essentially raw and barely seared. When I requested that it be taken back, my server responded with a dismissive tone, stating, "Well, that's what you ordered," while displaying visible frustration. I calmly clarified that I had ordered rare, not raw. At that point, I was told a manager needed to be involved due to the two returned steaks. Unfortunately, the interaction with the manager was also disappointing. He appeared irritated and insisted the steak was prepared rare, offering only to put it back on the grill briefly. Given the circumstances and my growing discomfort, I declined and requested that the meal be removed from my bill. While the manager did apologize, it felt perfunctory. He then took the steak and discarded it with noticeable force, which further added to the uncomfortable atmosphere. I understand that mistakes can happen in any kitchen, but the way this situation was handled, from the dismissive responses to the lack of professionalism, made me feel unfairly treated as a customer.

    Came for breakfast this morning and overall experience was so so. Took a while to be seated even though there were plenty of open tables. I think the problem was the line to pay and line to be seated were the same so I had to wait for everyone in front of me to pay before I could tell them how many in my party. Food took a while to come out and wasn't too good. The sausage tasted really weird to me. Only thing I liked was the hash brown. Think I will pass returning to this location in the future.

    This Dennys is located in the historic Van de Kamp building in Arcadia. The interior is remodeled and is still clean and relatively new. The three star Yelp average is probably about right for this business and here's why ... The food prices, quality, and quantity are abut in keeping with their history and relative to other comparable restaurants like McDonalds. For example, MickyD's hotcakes are probably cheaper, but Dennys has better quality but not as good as more expensive places like Broken Yolk, but about the same as IHOP. The service was mixed. There were three men helping everyone when we got there and they were joined by a younger lady later who just worked the register. The seater and busboy seemed like they should be retired and it was sad they were still working. The waiter was overworked and serving too many tables. Consequently, service was slow even though he was working really hard. We do not blame him one bit. He did the best he could. Overall, we would not come here again. It is just not like the historic Denny's of the past. Parking is in the back with an ample lot. Come before 8:00-8:30 or so before they get crowded on the weekends.

    This Denny's location has been the "spot" for my friends and I for years. If I don't get food I'll just get a cup of hot chocolate, with free refills, and just chill with friends. The staff are always really chill which is nice. Especially when you are on your 4th cup of hot chocolate.

    I love their under $10 deal!! And the unlimited hot chocolate is great. Service is always great. This is the perfect late night dinner spot!

    Today is New Year's Eve and the end of 2024, they are still open for lunch (not sure if they are actually open 24/7). We wanted to grab our free birthday meal using the Debby's reward program. I ordered in store before I realized I can either order online or in person. The place looks really festive during the holidays. They renovated it and it's different from other Dennys. The staff helping us was really quick and friendly, ordered and got our receipt. We only had to wait 20-30 minutes and off we went! It came with plastic utensils, two pancakes, two syrups, two butter cups, eggs (scrambled), sausage, and bacon. What's better than breakfast for lunch? Free birthday breakfast for lunch!

    I met friends at this Denny's located on the corner of Huntington Dr. and Santa Anita Ave for dessert. Our waiter Ray was very nice. I ordered the oven backed caramel apple pie crisp with coffee. That was the best dessert ever. It comes with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. I look forward to my next visit.

    We had a bad server named Francisco. He took our order. Like any other server does. I asked for hot sauce. He then walked away and never brought it. Then he avoided us the whole time we sat eating our food. I asked for coffee and again never came back. I noticed he got someone else order wrong. He takes his food away and make a face like it was the customer fault he got the order wrong. We payed our bill complaint to the manager on duty. He the say we was falling behind. I can understand if he was extremely busy. But he was not. If you get him good luck. If you have the pleasure of getting Jason he is a great server.

    Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

    This was my first visit after it re-opened. This Denny's is near and dear to the hearts of many Arcadians. The windmill, located on the corner of Santa Anita and Hungtington, is an iconic landmark in the city of Arcadia. We got here for an early dinner at 6pm and there as no wait. Our server Joselyn F, was friendly and attentive. We ordered mozzarella sticks, a club sandwich and a decaffeinated coffee. The club sandwich was delicious ! They didn't skimp on the ingredients and the seasoned fries were addictive. The mozzarella sticks were perfect too. I enjoyed the decaf house coffee too which she brewed a new pot just for me. The food was exactly what me and my daughter were craving for. The interior looked similar to what it looked like before the fire burnt the restaurant down (so I was told). In fact, I think there is a less of a greasy smell which I welcomed. And Joselyn even gave us an extra marina sauce to take home after I asked. I am happy that my neighborhood Denny's is not only back in business but back with better service and a cleaner smell!

    Stopped by for breakfast after picking up a friend who had a medical procedure. The dude was hungry and this was close. The server seated us right away and brought coffee asap. The food was good, my friend had the 9-Grain Pancake Slam and I ordered the All-America Slam with scrambled. The bacon was not as crispy as I would like, but good hash browns. Overall a good meal and good value. Service was prompt and plenty of parking in the lot.

    Super Slam: Two buttermilk pancakes, two sausage links, two bacon strips, two eggs and hash browns ...$9.99: nice!

    Will the Denny's at Santa Anita and Huntington Drive ever reopen? There is a fence around the building, signs that say "remodel" but no service trucks in sight. What a shame if this business permanently closes and gets demolished.

    They are supposed to officially open October 28, 2023; we'll see!

The food quality has gone downhill and the prices are pure greed. If you value your money and actually want good food, don't bother coming here. It's so sad what they've done to this place. I will never step foot in here again and I refuse to support this business.

It had just a tiny bit of a zip to it, just enough that it got my attention. Their in-house made hashbrowns were great. Crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. For my bread, I chose a biscuit, and it was light and fluffy. 2 extremely minor things that are definitely not worth taking off a star. While the cheese was good, there was a lot of of it for my personal preference . next time, I would ask for light cheese. Also, I wish it had some onions to go on top, to provide a little pop of freshness. These are just very minor things to me. The price was extremely reasonable, but they are cash only This was a great breakfast, next time I'm staying in the area, I would be glad to come back.

Walking in, it definitely has that California/Pasadena neighborhood café vibe, and I was looking forward to a solid breakfast. I'll start with the positive: Joey, the host, was awesome. Great attitude, welcoming, attentive--exactly how you want to be treated when you walk into a restaurant. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. I ordered bacon medium, and it initially came out crispy. When I mentioned it to the guy bringing out the food, instead of simply saying, "No problem, we'll fix it," I got attitude and a response like, "What is medium?" Second round of bacon was actually good, so obviously it could be done. The biggest disappointment was the chicken fried chicken. The chicken breast was extremely dry. The potatoes were good, the eggs were good, but the main part of the meal just wasn't there. When it was time to pay, Elizabeth brought my check and I politely gave her my feedback. I wasn't asking for anything free. I wasn't trying to get the meal taken off the bill. I paid for my food. I simply explained that the chicken was really dry and asked whether they hear that complaint often. Her response was basically, "Everybody has their own opinion." And that right there killed the experience for me. Of course everybody has an opinion--that's exactly what a review is. But when a paying customer calmly gives you feedback about the food, there's a difference between saying, "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it, I'll mention it to the kitchen," and basically dismissing them. For a locally known café with this many reviews, I expected more pride in both the food and the customer service. I'm not comparing Millie's to Denny's or some giant chain. I actually expect more from an independent neighborhood café. Joey: great job. Potatoes and eggs: good. Second bacon: good. Chicken fried chicken: dry and disappointing. Handling of customer feedback: terrible. I came in because of the reputation. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to it.

The large glass panes that let in the morning's light creates such a cozy atmosphere. Growing up in the area, this was the brunch spot for my friends and I when we were in high school. We would each order an egg dish and coffee to pair. Their egg dishes come with either toast (white, wheat, sourdough, rye) or their biscuits and homemade gravy (delicious but heavy). My go to order is the corned beef hash, eggs over easy, and wheat toast. I do have to admit the prices have vastly increased but Chef's gives you a well crisped large corned beef hash patty folded in half and a large portion of their hash browns. The flavor profile of that combo hits every time! Their coffee is served black with a variety of sugar packets and Delight creamers of your choosing at your table. The toast comes with a variety of smuckers jam to use as much as you like. Chef's will always triumph over any other chain breakfast spots around here in terms of portion, quality, and nostalgia. They don't make restaurants like these anymore. Enjoy it while you can.
