i'll start by saying leaving a bad review is hard for me as I work in food service so you know this is bad. the food quality was terrible, fries undercooked, food was cold. service was not great either, I understand the servers aren't making the food but no refills during my meal. personal conversations so loud I was in a rush to leave, really uncomfortable place to be. read more

This was our favorite location. Not today! We were told that we would have a 15 min wait for food. No problem. That time seems normal. Well, after we got our drinks and ordered, we hoped to ask for straws. After a long wait, I got up to ask for them myself. Also, for coffee refills. Several times, I got up to ask for coffee refills. Our server never refilled my coffee even though I did flag her down. I grabbed Tabasco from another table and asked her for sugar free syrup. We got our food and then a little while later, she dropped off the check. I got up and asked for another coffee. It was cold, so I left it. We sat near the kitchen and we heard the cooks being asked to microwave some food. My husband thinks his burger was at the window for quite a bit, too. My food was well done. I had to tell our hostess about the ladies restroom being out of paper and needing the trash to be dumped. They did handle that quickly. We will be going to the Rosedale location if they feel like they are slammed because the service is usually spot on, but not today. read more

See all

I sat down and waited 1 hour for a cup of water, it took them 30 minutes to make bring me a menu.. this place is horrible

Okay, this is kind of a rarity for me. Most chain joints are only going to get 3 stars from my reviews. And that's how things should work, that's why we have a 1 to 5 system... Not everything can be awesome or completely evil... So be default, this joint should be right at 3 stars... And yet, each time we have stopped we have noted how clean the place is (cleaner than most!) and how polite the staff is. That why this joint is getting an extra star. I don't think that I can elevate this higher than four stars but I have to admit that for a Denny's it is a bit better than most. read more

Let's see, 7 in the morning, 50 degrees outside, and the air conditioner is blowing cold air in the restaurant. hands are freezing, food's getting cold, the only one who can adjust it is the manager who is 'stuck behind the grill' and can't stop for one second the punch a button so we can enjoy a warm meal without being bundled in our jackets and blowing on or hands on to warm them up. Bad, sad, no good. Would give NO star if it would let me :-/ read more

Passing by from San Diego, bad service. Get seated, waitress was MIA after we ordered another server came w our coffees, 2 parties next to us hit seated & ordered after us, their food got served 1st, service based on race huh? We had to hunt down for utensils, ask for additional creamers after our refill. Upon checking out, I saw their Value Menus hidden away at the station where guests check in, they were purposely hiding those menus forcing us to order from the reg menu w/o the available option. Restroom out of toilet paper. Corporate Management should check this business. Will never comeback to this spot, glad I live in San Diego. read more

Food was awful but we waited so long we still tried to eat it. It was not worth our time or money. This location has went down hill. And now my husband is hunting down our check. Definitely won't be back read more

We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. My husband almost instantly commented on how nice and clean this location is. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. I built my own grand slam and hubby got a french toast slam. Everything was great! This Denny's is definitely one of the better ones we've been to. read more

When we came in we were greeted with a friendly smile. The food was tasty and made perfect for us (picky kids) The server Hailey was amazing she was quick helpful and very welcoming. Her warmth was felt through the restaurant. My daughter drew her a picture and she made her feel extra special even though she was very busy, definitely will be coming back to this location and Hailey's section definitely. read more

Horrible experience. Food was way overdone I got the countryfried steak skillet, eggs were overdone it was supposed to come w red skin potatoes it was mixed w their burger fries that looked like they were there since last night, they tasted burnt. Another skillet was a conpletely disaster overdone eggs, sausage was burnt NOT WELL DONE we sent it back & they brought it back when we were all done .. The waitress had good service she apologized for everything & claimed that there was only ONE COOK -_- This place needs BETTER MANAGEMENT from the looks of it they were short on staff I only saw 2 waitresses running around & they even asked the HOST "TO REMOVE THE SAUSAGE FROM THEIR PLATE BECAUSE ITS TOO OVERDONE" I didnt know sausages were meant to be extra CHARED & that made them considered "well done" Dont eat here. read more

Denny's - Way over cooked eggs & burned red skin tomatoes!! AND BURNT SAUSAGE not pictured because we sent it back! - Diners Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Fast and great service. Coffee was hot and always topped off. Fruit was fresh. Definitely coming back!

i am angry because i went to this location to eat a nice lunch with my family but our waitress was NOT wearing a mask and had only a plastic cover which does nothing because she would still breathe on us. I do not want to go somewhere to eat and feel as unsafe as i did then. If she has the virus she has now spread it to everyone she's been in contact with and that makes me very uncomfortable with denny's and with this irresponsibility. i will remember this. read more

came back on Sunday April 2 for breakfast time with family requests our favorite server Martin , he was very funny and really very fast like the other day , very attentive , thanks Martin for your attention to us , food was delicious and my family very happy with Original Grand Slam read more

If there's only one thing about Denny's it's that it is consistent. You go in with a certain level of expectations and it consistently delivers. Also they're open pretty much all the time which is super convenient for roadtrips that stretch into the night or early morning meals at the start of an adventure. A better option than McDonald's if you're not in a super hurry. American food, straightforward. $2,$4,$6,$8 menu is where I head to. Feeling hungry for breakfast food? Get two of the $4 everyday value slam, (2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 pancakes). read more

Best Dennys in town! Only one I'll take my family to! Anessa is the manager. She loves her customers and takes care of her team!

Came here for breakfast one morning and this location was pretty empty so they sat us quick and thankfully our waitress was very friendly. I ordered a Caesar Chicken salad and my boyfriend ordered a grand slam. His order was good it looked good (he looked good) and I ended up getting a regular Caesar salad and the salad was terrifying, it looked old, soggy and i didn't take a picture because as soon as it was placed in front of me I immediately stated "what the hell is this?!" I just don't understand why they would serve such nasty salad to a customer.. Apparently all the salad was on a recall?? ..( I DON'T CARE ) more so of a reason to just tell the customer .. " Sorry but at this present moment we don't have salad " i ended up getting a veggie omelette that only contained a slice of Swiss cheese, cubes of squash and well bottom line..... it wasn't appetizing.... in my head i thought "that's what i get for wanting vegetables". I am not a fan of this location. read more

Denny's - Veggie omelette.. nope didnt finish it... potatoes were okay.. - Diners Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Let me tell you this Denny's is about the best one they have in Bakersfield The waitress was consistent asking how the food was made sure we had refills even knew what my son wanted when he was just talking about it this would be the one to hit if you're ever in town right off the freeway it's on Merle Haggard read more

I went this morning to place a to go order. A woman said "what can I get for you" and once I said I wanted to place a to go order. She says "oh and walked away" 10 minutes goes by another man walks in behind me. She helps him before getting to myself. I just walked out at this point. I usually have great service here, but nope not today. Guess who's not getting any breakfast for work now. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday. Place was super busy, but we had excellent service from Martin. He was super attentive even though he was serving several tables at once. Food was great! Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

All I have to say is WOW! First they are no policing for mask. Notice less then half the people coming in with no mask. Staff had shield with no mask. Servers had no gloves or mask just a shield. Stuff still come out the bottom onto your food with a shield. Servers going from one table to another without sanitizing hands. People letting there kids wonder around with no mask. People cleaning tables should have on gloves on. Let's just say all bad. I could go on and on. But I will stop. Needs improvement, better off eating at home. read more

Take that "Open 24 Hours" sign down. You guys closed at midnight on a Monday night. Last night, I placed on online order that said it would be ready for pick up at midnight. I arrived to the location on time and was greeted with a woman yelling "We're closed! Can't she see the sign on the door!?" I was already welcomed rudely and then even worse, they gave my online order away to an Uber delivery driver. The manager just said they didn't have the salad and couldn't make me a new one because of the time. He issued me a refund and waisted me driving 20 minutes from home to pick up an order that was irresponsibly given away. read more

We had a great experience and wonderful service today at this Denny's location. Liz was our waitress and she was perfect from beginning to end. She was attentive and checked in on us 'just the right amount.' My first impression of the facility was that it was airy and clean and as Covid-safe as a restaurant could be. Nice job! read more

Normally for the few late nite breakfast places we have in this town it's not bad but last Saturday nite ordered lemon meringue pie & friend ordered a hot fudge sundae. I noticed on the pie a green spot & my friends sundae had a gob of chocolate that looked like it had been dropped on the floor then slapped on melted ice cream, the green spot was mold on the pie . Awful! How can you not see mold or not use real hot fudge on frozen ice cream? Check your food! read more

Service sucks. Took 30 min for toast and eggs at 5am. We were the only ones there. Made us late to work. I'm starting to see a pattern with Denny's. Service sucks read more

The staff was very helpful and attentive. They made sure to accommodate my alterations for mine and my sons diets. Coffee was filled often, and was hot and fresh. The restaurant was clean as well as the high chair. We will be back. read more

Great service by Liz! Food was out fast, and it was delicious. 5 people and she was able to remember everyone's order to specifics without even writing it down. read more

First time at this Denny's. After waiting for 40mins. The food arrived, was told they had 1 cook and 1 server!!! WTF!! Poor management at this place. Ive been to other Denny's on a weekend packed to the rim with people but yet tonight, on a Monday night you'd expect service to come quickly and yet after 40 mins we finally got our food. My wife's chicken caesar had old lettuce and had to be returned. Dont think im ever stopping at this Dennys. Laters! read more

Understaffed is a great description of this place. Servers are polite, however, they seem overwhelmed. One guy was trying to handle an entire station. He was doing the best he could with what little help he had. Management needs to step it up here. I observed several managers and several employees smoking outside. Looks awful and unprofessional. Do they not provide a smoking area for employees away from customers?? I doubt we will be back. We came back again on another night and it was the same exact chaos. It appears that the cooks are either undertrained or possibly not enough cooks to handle the flow of orders coming to the kitchen. We understood that it was rather busy but to wait over an hour for the food is ridiculous to say the least. It appears that Management blames their servers for many issues. A server does not cook the food, merely takes an order. We see alot of staff change at this location. We feel bad for how some of the staff here are treated. We will not be back again. read more

Its happend 3 times- Hate ordering something and they're out! Wait time has been longer than average. This Denny's is close to home, yet I choose to travel 10 extra minutes to a different location for better service. read more

We visited the Dennys on 7th standard. I have not had a bad experience yet. We sat eight away and the server was awesome. The food was good 2. It wasn't busy at all when we went which made it nice because it was pretty quiet. I would drive extra just to go there and eat. read more

Okay, let me start by saying that we came in around 9pm on a Sunday evening. The young man staffing the front register was attentive, respectful and clearly interested in getting folks seated promptly. What I didn't expect was that it would be his job to put our 2 to-go salads together! Seriously, I really don't want the guy who is handling the money to be making my salad. Isn't that the cooks job? Am I convinced that he washed his hands or used gloves when making my salad--I can tell you for sure he didn't. The article below talks about how paper money is dirtier than your toilet...need I say more? http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1914560_1914558_1914544,00.html read more
