the service was great! went out to dinner with family. rosa was very nice and helpful! overall the service was very nice.

Walked in and first thing said to us was can't bring in outside drinks because we had Starbucks "you can throw them away or leave in car" , dennys doesn't even serve coffee drinks other than just plain coffee. Obviously they didn't want our business that's ok, They forgot the other option which is going across the street to the much friendlier restaurant. After reading other reviews I guess we should thank you for not subjecting us to your poor service and food. read more

My experience at Denny's in Atwater was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in town. The food arrived cold, bland, and lacking flavor. I ordered an omelette, and it was served in a takeout container that was much too large, making the portion appear even smaller. The omelette contained only a handful of tiny cubes of ham, which was disappointing considering the price. To make matters worse, the English muffin I received appeared to be stale or spoiled, which was unacceptable. Freshness and quality should be a basic expectation at any restaurant. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this meal missed the mark in every way. I hope improvements are made in food quality, freshness, and overall preparation because customers deserve a better experience. read more

After leaving the Denny's at Landers Ave in Turlock because it was freezing in there we decided to try the one on Sycamore Avenue in Atwater. It sucks there to. They had only one server who was so overwhelmed people had to wait to put in their order. The place was extremely busy and caters to one particular group it seems. But they don't care since all they seem to care about is eating. If you're not, good luck. We left again seeing we were going to have to wait to be served. It's a pity we can't find a decent Denny's that isn't freezing or has enough servers. We didn't even get menus or water. Don't go there unless you're from Tiajuana. . read more

I hadn't been to Denny's in forever, and after going for the first time in over a decade, i think it might be a while before I try it again. We came in for breakfast, and were able to get a seat right away for a group of 10. It was getting busy, and they only had a couple of servers for the entire restaurant so shout out to our server for hustling to get our orders in and out. I went with the the club sandwich and the sampler platter. I was actually surprised at how good the boneless wings were, but the mozzarella sticks and onion rings were just ok. The club sandwich was good, but it needed mayo and salt. The bread was a little too toasty so it was rough to eat. The major issue we had was that one of our orders of toast had mold on it. I'm sure it was a mistake, but honestly we are glad we caught it before someone ate it. I hadn't been in a while and the prices are pretty up there for what it is. Most dishes are coming in around $15-20, which is steep given the quality. read more

Great customer service by Ruth & Renee Usually go around evenings!Less busy around that time. Good Hamburgers read more

It was hot in the restaurant. The waiter was very, very nice but not very bright Coffee is not good. Food was good (for Denny's). Bill was wrong but I didn't feel like trying to get the waiter to understand what was wrong. We hadn't been to this location in years. It will likely be years before we go again. The Almond Tree across the street is not great but better than this. read more

Great customer service by Supranee. She is very friendly and helpful. Our food was great!

poor review for management (great review for our server, however) with the closures of big corps like Applebees, it's likely this location will be shutting down as there are better options in the area. most negative reviews are about the manager. :\ sucks that her servers and chefs will be out of a job because of her. thought it was odd that the manager refused to provide her supervisor's name, even though she argued her supervisor was the only one who could help us with a specific issue. So, to the new employee that was onboarding in the midst of our conversation: management withholding their own (first) name and their supervisor's name is a red flag, please run for the hills! good management has nothing to hide. the young waitress could easily replace the manager and would probably boost the ratings. girl was the only one running food while serving her multiple tables and hosting! not to mention paying people out at the counter. as someone in the industry, it's a very gross look when u got ur one employee doing all the work for u. real managers don't let their employees do it all alone. It's not a coincidence that the customer service rep replying to these reviews is named "guest services." Don't be shy! read more

The manager Ruth is an amazing manager I've been coming here for years she's has never failed to make me feel welcomed she does an amazing job making others happy and at home. Everyone that I see leave always leave satisfied and the servers do an amazing job as well! read more

Really poor and slow service. There's 2 other tables besides us and it's taken well over 10 minutes to take our drink order. Drink orders are to be taken when the customer sits down at the booth or table. It should not take 10+ minutes to ask what we would like to drink. And on top of that the waitress couldn't be bothered to ask if we were ready to order. This waitress will not receive any tip from either of us for such low quality service. read more

The waitress Donna, was very nice. See took our order and got our drinks in a verybtinely manner. The foodvwas still nice and warm and smelled very good. The restaurant was noce and clean. The restrooms were very clean and tidy. It was a very pleasant experience over all. I woukd recommend my friends to come here for a decent meal and excellent service. I plan on on coming bsck soon. read more

Great experience. Party of 24 on Easter Sunday. Everyone was polite and professional. We did have a few people that their food took a bit long but other than that this was good. Thanks for all you do. Happy Easter Dennys crew Atwater!!! read more

Trash don't waste your money there eat across the street smh. The "waiter" didn't write down my order then it came out wrong an he blamed me for it. I asked for season fries he gave me plain fries with no salt so I said whatever it's cool. Can I get some ranch? He said yeah they charge you a dollar for a ranch an said it's a very small container. at that point I just packed my food up so I can leave. You'll notice the standards there are very low even for dennys. Last time I was there I befriended the other waiter a they said the same thing the owners are very cheap and stingy. That no other dennys dose what they do. read more

What a serious disappointment!!! Called and made an on line order for curbside pick up. Wasn't till I arrived that I was told they"really don't do curbside" Because the manager doesn't agree with it.

What happened to free breakfast for your birthday. I don't do Dennys but my husband does.

I arrived at 3am and was seated immediately. Rosa was my server and she was great. Police officers were dining a couple of tables away so the food must be good! My breakfast was a special order and it came to the table quickly. I only note two minor issues. First, the white cheddar cheese in my omelette had the consistency of a mozzarella. Not bad but I had hoped for a different cheddar. Next time. Second, when I went to the hostess counter to pay the bill, Dennys computers were doing the daily reboot and the hostess apologized and said it would be 5-10 minutes delay. Oh well, I wasn't in a hurry so I returned to my coffee. Overall, the food was good and the server was great. Thanks Rosa. read more

Denny's - The double cheeseburger - American Near Me - Atwater, California

7:30PM time of visit. Just to start off, i would give 0 stars if i could Our family decided to see if this place has had any improvement and Dennys sounded good. We made a mistake - Wasn't greeted as the waitress walked around not acknowledging us. There was only 2 tables that were occupied. Waited about 10 minutes - Watched an elderly Mennonite couple wait to be greeted the whole time we were sitting. It took so long they just decided to leave. - Was seated at a dirty table. When we asked for it to be wiped down, we were given a dirty look and they took there time to get to cleaning the table - Waiter and manager would walk to the other 2 gables to check on them. We didn't get anyone at our gable for 15 minutes. - Utensils were dirty so we asked to have them sent back. That was un comftorable after asking to have the table cleaned - Food took forever to get. Recommendation: Whoever runs this place or at least this shift is too complacent and gives a bad impression. This place use to be a good place to eat. Now the service and food suck so bad Dennys shouldn't allow for there brand to be tarnished read more

Sorry Denny's! We had a horrible experience a couple weeks ago! Walked in and was seated right away, went to the restroom to wash up. They were out of soap and paper towels so that made it impossible to wash our hands. Luckily, I brought hand sanitizer and wet wipes. Strike 1! Waitress was impatient, it took a very long time to get our food, and when we got it, she forgot my daughters side salad. My nachos were cold and she offered to microwave them instead of making me a new plate. Strike 2! I have never not left a tip, but I left nothing this time because of the service and experience. I asked to speak to the manager, and was told she wasn't there right now. So they offered to have her call me, it has been 4 weeks and I have not heard from her! Strike 3! Only have 1 star because when we have Law in the past as our waitresss, she does a great job! Do better Denny's!!! read more

I rate them one star because I can't zero. My family and I came in for breakfast today on 09/29/2020 and had a not so great experience. We were seated at a table in the "patio" area right underneath the sun. When asked if we could switch tables our server told us we couldn't because someone else was waiting at the door. So we stayed and tried to enjoy breakfast. As we were sitting trying to eat it began getting hotter and we asked if there was a possibility of them closing up the tarp that they had laying over the area to keep the sun out. Our server said "Yeah we can try".. and went on telling us about a previous family that was here and seated at the same table that felt the need to just leave because of the heat. We decided to ask for boxes and leave. When at the register I asked to speak to the manager. When speaking to the manager and expressing my concerns she said there was nothing she can do. She continued to say that when the tarp was all the way down people would complain too, so basically they're not stressing with it. I simply said to her "so you're going to keep losing customers all because you guys don't want to fix a tarp?.. and you're going to keep risking people's health?.. people are sensitive to the sun and high risk of nose bleeds also heat stroke and you're willing to risk them because you're lazy and don't want to make a simple fix?".. her ignorance frustrated me so much I just paid my bill turned and looked at her and said "good luck" and walked out!. I usually don't review restaurants or any place at all but this had to be aired out. Please don't go here and if you do make sure you put your health first, and make sure you're not seated at the corners near the glass!

Second time that I had hair in my food. My meal was made over but that's 2x too many. Server was sympathetic but after she brought my new plate, she deserted my table. Food was cool as well.

this is inhumane, i got her at 10 am sharp and i am still here at 11 WAITING for my food never come here again

I usually don't mind stopping in and eating at Denny's. I went to the Denny's in Atwater, California at 5:30 AM. There was only one other customer. I ordered off of the value menu the small grand slam breakfast. First of all, the coffee wasn't up to normal Denny's standards. Part of the reason I don't mind Denny's is because they usually have good coffee. This coffee was not good. Also, had to go find the waiter in order to get a refill. Now you remember I said that there was only one other customer. I feel like even if he was doing stuff in the back, he could've come out and refilled my coffee without me having to go find him. Breakfast came out and it was cold. It was cold and my over medium eggs were crunchy on the outside. Kind of had a strange texture. Pancakes were OK but the syrup container would not pour without taking the spout off. Then to top it off, when I went to pay the cost of my breakfast was more than it said in the menu. I didn't argue with the waiter because I was just kind of done with the place and it wasn't a lot of money, but it was more than it said on the menu. I do not recommend this restaurant and I think one star is pretty generous. Maybe the pancakes are worth a couple stars, but they entire experience was not worth a full star. read more

Have been to this location a few times, but this was the most terrible experience from any dinner in recent times. Arrived at 8:22pm and the occupancy was extremely low. Two guys having a meal and a party of 6 that was waiting for their parents. Waitress was nice and food was made to order. However, took 40 minutes to be served. The party had not ordered yet as far as I could see. Waitress forgot a beverage that was included with the meal. She still got a tip. Paid at 9:26 for a total time of one hour and three minutes for two simple breakfast meals. Waste of precious time and never did get the beverage. Will try again in a year read more

Wow! The service and good were amazing!! Danyel was prompt, efficient, kind and spot-on with all our special requests! Food was delicious and fresh. Got the veggie skillet with no egg (good vegan option). It was perfectly cooked! My friend got the senior omelette with fruit and toast with no butter. Everything came out as requested. Danyel was in charge of seating, serving, and manning the front counter but was still able to provide excellent service. We really enjoyed our breakfast experience. read more

2 Stars is a bit harsh for this Place, Servers are always working to meet your requests, are polite and very helpful.

We were seated immediately. The restaurant was impeccably clean... the food; my husband's soup, my omelette, the appetizer and my granddaughters meal was exceptional in display, quality and served with a smile. The waitress was kind... so was the manager. Beautiful people. She checked on us enough but not too much. She had a fantastic memory and didn't forget a thing. I would definitely stop in again when we are traveling through. read more

I use to come here alot "alot!" And I'm not even from the area, staffs are nice and professional and food was great. They've had their ups/downs but never bad. Until one night did it for me as the cook conituely mess up on my steak. You can tell the steak was under a poach process, extremely undercooked and watery. had it sent back to the kitchen. Steak came back butchered! And over cooked, tough as brick. They literally stabbed and shanked my steak into shreds because the cook was that insecure! You can tell they did not start over on a fresh piece of steak, they just threw it in the microwave. 1. Amateur cook 2. How can the waitress deliver something looking like dog shit biscuits. 3. The General manager was there chit chatting, no kitchen control of food that goes out! No quality control! If I could go back into time, wouldn't had kept that disgusting order. I wished I had photos to prove it as I usually take photos of my food. What a regretful night honestly... *forever lost a regular customer read more
