    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Happy hour specials

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask…read more All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was eating my food in this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they had several special offers at the moment. Please ask your server. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent. Lots of parking spots in the back in case the front is full. The spots are pretty wide. Ambiance: The vibes are classy, old school, and warm. It can also be kinda romantic too. I have been here a couple of times on dates. Since it's dimly lit, you and your date can squeeze in a quick smooching sesh. LOL This time though, I came alone. Solo dining FTW. Food: I ordered the Derby calamari as an appetizer. Then, for the entree, I ordered the 16 oz prime rib with a side of creamed corn. For dessert, I ordered the warm whisky bread pudding. The Derby calamari features lightly seasoned calamari rings and tentacles in a perfectly balanced blend of herbs and spices. The golden batter is crispy and light without being greasy or chewy. It was also served with a Bloody Mary cocktail sauce and classic tartar sauce. Get this classic appetizer, y'all. The 16 oz prime rib with a small side of cubed baked sweet potatoes and red and yellow peppers was cooked to medium rare perfection. The prime rib was perfectly seasoned and slow-roasted. The thing practically melted in my mouth. So heavenly! My only complaint was that my prime rib was a bit too salty for my taste. So the cubed baked sweet potatoes and red and yellow peppers did kinda off set the saltiness of the prime rib. I also had this same problem at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland. I hate it when my meat is over salted, but whatever. The creamed corn was such a great side. Definitely upgrade to this premium side if you like corn. It's so worth it. As a massive dork for corn, this was perfection in a dish. Lowkey this was the star dish for me. Not the prime rib, sadly. The dish is fricken sweet, savory, creamy, rich, and comforting. It outshined the prime rib by a mile IMHO. GET THIS DISH! The warm whisky bread pudding was surprisingly really tasty. This is a classic sweet bread pudding drenched in a rich, creamy whiskey sauce. I got this dessert because it was highly recommended by my waiter. Honestly, I can see why this moist, vanilla-based bread pudding with a generous pour of warm, sweet whiskey cream sauce was highly recommended. The whipped cream and single black berry added a nice touch to this dessert too. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, welcoming, informative, and fast. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    Prime Rib: compared to Lawry's in Beverly Hills, Five Crowns in New Port, or Summit House in…read moreFullerton CA, the steak kinda falls short, but just a tad bit. Found the 16 ounces a little too much. I'd recommend everyone just to stick to the 12 ounces. Sides: Still prefer the cream corn and spinach from Lawry's, but overall still a pretty solid meal. Cocktails: Secretariat was good, but if you get a pre-mixed solution from Sprouts and get a Top Shelf Scotch like the discounted Blue Label at Costco, you can create yourself a pretty good mixer at home. Think I should have went with a Pino Grigio or something. Soups: Solid French Onion Soup, although I wished the soup based had a more potent amount of sherry or Sauvignon Blanc. Overall thoughts: very historical indeed. You walk in here and you immediately feel that old money vibe. It has that Rat Pack era feel, Frank Sinatra Playing in the background, and has that Mr. Walt Disney might hang out here aura. Be prepared to dish out 100+ per person. This place has similar vibes to the speakeasy the Cellar in Fullerton California. But I found the prime rib to lack that melt in your mouth and balance fat to lean ratio that you find at Summit House and Lawry's. Nevertheless, service was AAA, Ally was great. Hosts were all really chill. Will return for the filet mignon next time. Not quite 5 stars, but deserves a 4

This location is smaller and may require a wait to be seated but the service, food and libations are pretty good. The ambiance is on trendy side with a variety of age groups from Boomers to human and fur babies. The outdoor patio allows for dogs on a leash. We started off with drinks, girl next door; vodka, elderflower and blackberries, a mezcal drink which I can't recall but both drinks were good! For starters we ordered the bacon wrapped dates with bleu and mascarpone cheese and tempura green beans. Our entrees for the evening were the poblano burger with side salad and the chicken breast with mushroom risotto and broccolini. There was no room for desert otherwise I would've gone with the bread pudding. This is definitely a must try if in the Monrovia area.

We sat at a table by the front window facing the main drag. The area definitely has an old town feel with many restaurants and shops up and down the street. There is also a park right across the street. There is plenty of parking around the corner on the street and in a nearby lot. I started out with the Coughlin's Law cocktail (Aviation gin, house infused vanilla syrup, fresh lemon, egg white, lavender bitters, $16). It was a good light drink with light vanilla and lemon flavor. I always love a good foam top too. She started out with a Basil Paloma (Herradura silver tequila, muddled basil & grapefruit, fresh grapefruit juice, lime, simple syrup, seltzer, $15). It had good grapefruit and basil flavor, and was nicely balanced. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower appetizer ($14). The cauliflower was supposed to be grilled, but it seemed almost raw. The buffalo sauce definitely had a good kick. For my entrée, I had the Black Angus Basin Burger (manchego cheese, carmelized onions, arugula, special sauce, brioche bun, $19). The burger was excellent. The cheese, carmelized onions, and arugula was a great flavor combo. The fries were good, but I'd order them more crispy next time. She had the two taco plate with fish and potato tacos ($15). The taco shells were freshly fried, and it was a filling plate that she enjoyed. We had one more round of drinks and I had the Billionaire cocktail (Old Forrester 100 proof bourbon, lemon, house made grenadine, absinthe, $16). This was excellent. It was very balanced, and not boozy at all with a very light sweetness. Her second was the Smoke and Fire (Peloton de la Muerte mezcal, Ancho Reyes liqueur, muddled jalapeno & orange, fresh lime, agave, chili salt, $15). It was pretty well balanced with a medium smokiness. It definitely had a kick of heat on the finish. Our server Lakyn was friendly and provided good service. The menu prices are cash prices. There is an extra 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was mostly a miss, but everything else was very good so I'm rounding up to five stars. They have a very good sized cocktail and food menu, as well as many beers on tap. They also have happy hour specials. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.

    This BJs is in a large strip mall with several other popular business and restaurants…read more Consequently, even though the lot is large, parking can still be challenging at peak hours at lunch and dinner, holidays, and weekends. All the various BJs locations seem to have different specials that rotate. On our visit this time, there was a three course meal pizookie special. There was a choice of soup or salad, entree from a list, and choice of pizookie. We got the pizza, wedge salad, and triple chocolate and chocolate chunk pizookies. All of the food was just ok. None was bad, but none was exceptional either. The best items were the pizookies. On this visit, two servers helped us as the first one went to a different section when the new one came on shift. Both of them were very nice and attentive and offered a quality of service that far outmatched the quality of the food. The restaurant was pretty full already even at about 4:00-4:30 for an early dinner on a Sat and was quite noisy between the talking and background music. The restaurant seems centered on the bar which has decent TVs to watch games. We also got a standard margarita with a salted rim. The quality was also just ok, but we like the way they make them. It was consistent with other BJs locations. This BJs is a nice place to have a casual family meal or hang out with friends in the bar to see a game or just chat. We did not see a happy hour menu or advertisement like at other BJs locations, but perhaps we were just there on the wrong day and time. Still recommending giving this location a try, but maybe try to go a little early like we did to avoid the crowd or a wait--a number of people were already waiting for tables when we left.

    The food at the Nordstrom Café was actually really great. I have celiac disease, so I can't consume…read moregluten, and it's not always easy finding places that have genuinely good gluten-free options. I really appreciated that and was excited to eat my meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by how I was treated by one of the staff members. I had ordered online ahead of time since I only have a short lunch break and planned to dine in. There were plenty of open tables, but I was told I couldn't sit because online orders weren't considered "dine-in" and that seating was reserved so staff could make tips. That explanation didn't make sense and honestly made me feel unwelcomed as a paying customer. I was really looking forward to my meal, and the interaction completely killed the vibe. If you plan on eating here, I would recommend ordering in person to avoid any confusion. I'd also suggest the café clarify this policy, because the inconsistency took away from what would have otherwise been a great experience.
