We stopped here on our way back to LA we ordered 3 sandwiches Philly melt ( barely ok) cheese melt ( it was decent enough for my 2 year old to enjoy) and dbl cheeseburger which the waitress kept wanting to have me order more things on it and kept suggesting so I added mushroom what a disappointment it was the meat was overcooked and dry to the point of falling apart. I just ate feud and called it a Day. The person who was serving us was super slow to even refill cokes we had to flag other waiters to come for refills. I will never come back here again and would probably go to one of the Other fast food places off the exit and I suggest the same to all of you read more

Denny's - American Near Me - Atwater, California

Today 7/10/2020 @ 9:35 am We stopped at Denny in Atwater to have breakfast One of the waitress was taking us to our table outside Ask what we want to drink. When the second waitress came and told us "Excuse me, you have to wait to be sat" In a tone a waitress shouldn't be using. We are regular customers from this Denny, and we always pay for our food and tip the waitress. I think I deserve to be treated with respect, I can understand when people talks to me, there is no reason to used low class words. Now they just lost us as customers, which they probably don't care read more

Poop taste better then the wings and all burn and black they suck at cooking I do not recommend even the celery was all soft and the ranch had a hair nasty never again read more

Denny's - Nasty I got wing and it was all Burnt and all black nasty - American Near Me - Atwater, California

Perhaps the worst, food customer service, and management I've ever seen at a Dennys. Food brought out cold, incorrect items brought out, horrible attention to detail, waited 20 mins for condiments for what food we did have, over all experience horrible read more

Go to Merced Denny's, Atwater Denny's has trash food and even worse service and I'm talking about the rude af old waitress

The service was awful, I understand it was a busy day they had 2 servers and about maximum 7 tables and online orders me and my family where sat on a table and told there was a 45-1 hour wait we were ok with that due to seeing they were busy with online orders understandable... once we were seated we got our order taken about 10 minutes or so understandable time goes by we see tables that came after us getting their food quicker ( when ordering we asked for ranch and barbecue) when the server brought us our food we asked for ranch and barbecue once again our server said " ill be right with you a minute passes bye ,2,3,4,5 and we see the server giving other customers things that they asked for practically ignoring our table and my daughter cannot eat her chicken strips without barbecue she says it lacks flavor so she didn't eat at all our drinks became empty and when we tried to get a servers attention they would ignore us and go back to tables they were previously helping ignoring our request for barbecue and ranch we got tired of waiting for our server and so we asked the other server for the ranch and barbecue so my daughter can eat this server said the same thing" I'll get that right for you" time passes nothing and we see her giving things for another table , my family decided to leave as we were going to pay we demanded for a discount and to speak to the manager and the manager came up didn't say a word at all she gave us a 6$ discount which to me isn't enough for the awful service provided the no refills and no barbecue and ranch after repeatedly asking read more

"I love Atwater Denny's!" -No one EVER The food tastes like shit, but the employees sure seem to enjoy it. You can literally see them eating in the back. If they aren't talking to you each other in the back you can find them in their natural habitat "polishing" silverware in a booth. They take FOREVER to bring you your food. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ORDERING A MILKSHAKE FROM THIS PLACE! They tend to "forget" or wait to deliver it to you when you're ready for the check. Negative 10 brownie points for the food never even being hot either. The only reason this place is still in service is, because this is one of three 24/7 food places in town. read more

Service was excellent. Our waitress Elsa was superb. Food was good and hot. Everyone here was so friendly thank you Dennys.

First Denny's in a long time that served a Dam good breakfast , the servers were promp And friendly .pretty too . These employees can hold their heads high and be proud.. read more

Was told they wouldn't serve us without a mask. i watched two people before us get served or seated without masks on. When I requested a mask I was rudely told no, and I needed to have it on before entering. Wales across the the Almond tree, was served promptly. will not be back to any Denny's. read more

Great waitress - great cook. ! Supree, is our waitress. So caring. Food was good and good service all the way around. I have to eat gluten free and she is so helpful and the cook greeted us Also. Jerry lobbed is food too. read more

Normally I love Denny's but this one is one I refuse to go back to. I've been to this Denny's a few times and the service was okay at best, my skillet which is supposed to be piping hot was warm at best. My mom had gotten hair in her eggs twice since we've been here the waitress pretty much abandoned my table as soon as we got our food, and it took about 30 minutes for the food to even arrive all in all a bad experience we will be going to the one in Merced from now on. read more

I decided to grab breakfast with my daughter. It's packed no biggie I didn't think it should be too bad since we got a seat right away. But I've been sitting here for about 45 min waiting for food. Finally get out food and the French toast is regular toast. They are out of butter. My eggs are cold and my daughters fruit is all sour. We left and I told the manager I would not pay the bill or return, ever!! read more

Came here with my family, the food is extremely salty and the service really stinks. Would not recommend this place based on hear two facts. Servers are rude and ignoring us. The are only three tables occupied so there is no reason for the poor performance. read more

Literally the worst and ghetto dennys ever all the condiments were empty, silverware wasn't washed right it still had chunks of dried food. We literally just got our plates no more than 1 minute later they gave us the check!! Strawberry lemonade tasted rotten It was just horrible service to begin with :( read more

Rating is definitely a zero. Went in today, they don't have a cook but yet there open. They should at least close down if till they get a chef read more

I went there today on September 28th 2014 between 10 a.m. -11:15am. I was there with my two sister and little brother. I order the value slam with scrambled eggs, 2 sausage and no butter on my pancakes. My sisters had the loaded sandwich breakfast, side of season fries and potato skillet, why my little brother had the sizzling chicken fajita. when we arrived there Betsy greeted us and seated us within 30 to 40 seconds. We had a corner booth on the left side of the room. We wait it probably 10 minutes to actually get some service from the waitress and she took forever. I noticed that she went to greet a large group of Mexican and a smaller group of Mexicans before she came to our table to ask if we were ready to order. She took forever to get a drink.when the food came out I noticed that my pancakes had butter in it but I noticed my waitress told the manager who was wearing purple that I didn't want no butter in it and she took the food back. She also made an ugly face the manager. My brothers fajita came back and it was not sizzling whatsoever it was warm. So that means that the food was ready I was just sitting there. The fries were almost warm my sister had the loaded potato her food was mediocre and they did not had any jalapenos as requested. when my when my pancakes came back I check it to see if it was a different pancake and it was not it was the same pancakes. The pancake the head the butter on top was basically just wiped off and the bottom package was put on top to make it look like it was new, i can tell because there was a big fat hole in the bottom of the pancakes they assume that I was going to eat the whole thing but I always check my food before I eat it. I don't want to ask for another one because I didn't want to wait for another 15 20 minutes for food cuz I was ready waiting for food already.This Denny's had a lot of Mexicans, only two African Americans in there and we were the only Asians in there. the service was lousy, the hostess was nice, loud kids in the background yelling, our waitress sucks this message has been farm approve. I should have stayed home and made my own breakfast if I wanted to be satisfied. read more

Denny's - this was the pancakes that I order with NO BUTTER THEY SCRAPPED IT OFF AND PUT IT IN THE BOTTOM to make it look new - American Near Me - Atwater, California

Prefer going to this Denny's. Best service at a Denny's in Merced County. Food is cooked well too.

I stopped by the other night at 2 am to get a burger, it was excellent, juicy, and everything I expected a restaurant burger to be. Service was prompt, and the restroom was clean, all around four stars! read more

Came here with my daughters yesterday for a early dinner late lunch. It took awhile for us to get seated. They didn't seem busy just under staff. It took awhile for us just to get our drinks order in, and then some more to order our food. Food was great, our waitress was nice. She filled our drinks when needed. My girls wanted to order desserts however when we were close to finishing our meals our waitress gave us our check already, so we decided not to get desserts there. She also never asked if I needed a box to go since I still had half of my food left on my plate. I had to stop her while she was passing by. One star for food quality and one star for effort. read more

It's Dale's birthday and we are at Denny's.enjoyed a nice breakfast with the grand slam of course but we traded plates which was freeand Dale had oatmeal and biscuits and gravy and we shared the pancakes. Don't you just love a free birthday breakfast from Denny's read more

Took too long to serve us. Almost an hour wait. Didn't offer or bother to check if we needed anything else. Food was too Salty. Bill was the only thing that arrived quickly. And they gave me a seat with a dip in it and I felt like I was sitting on a toilet. read more

Christmas Day - 12/25/2014 - It was already a rough day. Earlier in the morning we'd found out my kids' uncle passed away on their dad's side. He was my friend as well for the last 19 years so we all felt a sad loss. That was early AM, a damper on our day. Instead of cooking, my BF offered to treat us to a nice meal. Bonus was: we had a coupon that didn't state "not valid on holidays". :-) Arrived & saw only 2 other tables occupied. Nobody immediately greeted us but it turned out we arrived exactly at the time the ONLY server was leaving & the ONLY replacement was coming on shift. His name was Gabe & he was very apologetic. Told us that it was in between shifts and offered us to pick any table to sit at. Gabe took our order, was very friendly and smiled a lot. I appreciated that he answered all of our questions. Our food was delicious ( 2 of the super bird, cheeseburger, holiday turkey platter, senior slam ) and hot. We had a nice spot that allowed us to laugh and have a good time regardless of what had happened earlier. The only thing I felt was off was : Nobody came to the table to take away my boyfriend's soup bowl after he was finished. Our dinner hadn't arrived yet but it was in the way. My ex put the bowl on the adjacent table which the manager noticed. I'd saw her eyeball him as he got up to put it there. When we left (over an hour later), the bowl was still there!!! The manager didn't bother to get it herself either. Hmmm... No one asked us to hurry up or made us feel as if we HAD to leave. We took our time and didn't feel rushed. At any Denny's I've ever been to, it's usually rushed. Overall it was a great ending to the day. The 20% coupon made it even better. Would I be back? Probably. The experience itself wasn't an A+ but I don't expect that with Denny's. It's good/decent food, on a holiday and to boot: there wasn't any spit on top! So are we satisfied with service? Yeah, we are. Hence the 3 stars. read more

No to go orders before 7 am?! I have never heard of such nonsense. Called your competition across the street instead

I was given a M O L D Y gluten free bread. Food was great until I wasn't able to enjoy my bread. I legit made a online order at 2 am before work and this happened honestly so disappointed the fact that they said it wasn't given to me that way. read more

Mid brunch, saw a cockroach crawling on the back seat of where we were sitting. Moved tables and saw another dead cockroach under table. $90 dollars of food and was given $9.00 off. The manager was called by the server to come see us and never came. Just a discount was given. When checking out, we asked for the manager and she reluctantly came out and was having issues applying our discount. Never again read more

I don't know why I keep popping in here, the service continues to be poor and the food always tastes off. Came in for lunch with my wife and it took a half hour to get food and maybe 20% of the tables were taken. My food was under cooked. There just seems to be no urgency in this place to take care of the customers. The Merced Dennys is much better overall. read more

Worst customer service!I was missing an item from my door dash order that Denny's forgot to put in and when I spoke with the manager he said that's not" my problem I can't refund you the money you'll have to deal with door dash". The manager as well as the girl who answered the phone was just as rude and flippant. Food was okay but definitely not worth the $75 !! read more

Soooo bad! We ate here this morning and the service was so bad. We arrived and the hostess seated us. We had our 3 year old with us, the hostess never asked us if we wanted a booster seat or high chair, also did not give us a kids menu. When we ordered our drinks my wife asked for more sugar for her coffee, which we never got. Still no kids menu, had to ask the waitress for a booster seat. We ordered our food which took forever to get to us. We saw several people who came in after us that had more people in their group get their food before us. Once our food came it was cold and they got my wife's order wrong. After we ate we sat for a good 10 minutes without our check being brought to us. Ended up having to go up to the front and asking for it because we'd had enough. I would not recommend this place to anyone, it was bad even by Denny's standards. read more

This restaurant in Atwater for some reason just failed my expectations of a Denny's standards. There's not alot of people when we came in but the service was really slow. From the time the waitress took our order to the time when we actually received it took exactly 1 hour. We observed customers ahead of us that just stood up and walked out of the restaurant. The owner of this location should take count on how much customers had walked out because of slow service. The waitress was coughing really bad and should have taken night off. She didn't brought our orders out until we got up and told the cashier that we'll just pay for our drinks because it has taken too long. The cashier went back to the kitchen area and told the waitress who came out upset. The food was dry and salty. My kids could not eat chicken sandwich because of that. We will never dine in this restaurant again. read more

I made a big purchase and left a good tip in hopes that they would do their best to get my order right, but no. They burned my pancakes, forgot my toppings and didn't give me the cutlery I requested. I get that they might be overwhelmed but try putting together one order at a time not multiple ones, that's how you screw things up. Incompetent. read more

Sitting here again waiting well over 45 minutes with not even a coffee refill. Service is extremely poor food is Denny's Denny's I'm Merced rocks but Atwater sucks. read more

Took forever to get seated. Apparently the staff didn't care about having business. There were 5 families waiting to just pay for their food! So unprofessional. Im surprised management here is still employed. read more

This is a great place to satiate late night hunger pangs or to soak up a night of heavy drinking, but as a first choice for a regular diner; id look elsewhere for something to satisfy. The food is not necessarily bad at this location, they offer a very diverse menu, but when it comes to preparation, they are mediocre at best. I don't expect their kitchen staff to be professionals at their job, but they drastically fail when it comes to the basics. It shouldn't be difficult for even the most inexperienced cook to know the difference between overeasy and sunnyside up eggs or to fully comprehend what "light" means in terms of buttering or toasting. Also, if you dine here then don't expect too much from their waiters, many of them are top notch in terms of hospitality, but quite a few of them would be better suited for another job, as they are rude and unattentive at best. read more

Waited for 30 minutes and wasn't even offered a drink. There was 1 other table in the restaurant. Completely unprofessional. I walked out before I got to order anything. Definitely never coming here again. Wouldn't recommend to anybody. read more

This is considered by many to be the worst restaurant in Atwater. I'm sorry to say, it still retains its title. Service is poor, food is blah and management appears to care less, if you ever come back. This restaurant is open 24 hours a day, in hope that when the bars close late at night, some of those that overdid it, may not realize where they wonder into, looking for something to eat.... read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I came in to eat & do a little work after a 5 hour drive. The Wifi didn't work. When I asked the waitress for help, the manager told her the Wifi was really weak and there's nothing she could do about it. Fine. This is a Dennys not AT&T. I ordered the Veggie omellete, and it tasted & smelled putrid. I couldn't even swallow my first bite. I sent it back TWICE before asking the manager-- who tried to convince me it smelled bad because spinach & mushrooms naturally smell funny--for scrambled eggs & bacon. Even the scrambled eggs & bacon tasted bad. They also had the audacity to charge me the full price for the garbage veggie omellete they served me instead of the garbage bacon & eggs I ended up eating. I hope I don't get food poisoning. DON'T EAT HERE read more

We waited about 45 minutes for our food (it was just 2 of us). When my food did come my country fried steak was so tiny! I've been ordering this plate for years and I've never seen one that small. But the worst part of the whole experience was when I tried to send it back! I told her the steak was too small and if she couldn't give me a bigger one that it was okay and I would just take a refund instead. The waitress looked very nervous and said she would have to get the manager. When she takes the food back I could hear the manager already getting defensive before she ever came to even talk to us. She came to our table and immediately said "the dinner plate is bigger and you got the breakfast plate that's why your steak is small" I told her I've been to Denny's for years and I've never seen it that small. She said well I've worked here 16 years and it's always been that way. She proceeded to grab a menu and point to the 2 pictures and said see! They're different! All she had to say was "I'm sorry your not happy with your meal unfortunately these are our portions. Can I get you something else?" But nope! She came to our table ready to argue! She never once said sorry! Im not sure why this lady is a manager here. She has ZERO customer service skills. This was my first and last time at this location. read more
