Look at how small the 6.30$ shake is, and the 2 pathetic "waffles". 36$ total! Ridiculous.

I paid nearly 40$ for 2 pieces of chicken, the 2 smallest waffles I've ever seen a restaurant serve, and a milkshake. Talk about low quality and high prices! This place is a complete rip off! I even had to verify with the staff that the waffles are mini sized. I will NEVER return. Disappointed is an understatement. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Only reason for this star is service was good. We ordered the senior pancake and then a two egg breakfast. Asked if it was possible to substitute hashbrowns rather than the meat with the senior and was told yes (never told it was an extra charge). Then they charge extra when ordering biscuits and gravy with a meal?!? So we got two scrambled eggs, 2 eggs , 2 sides of hash browns, biscuit n gravy, pancake, and 2 cups of coffee and it was almost $40!!?!? And this is at Denny's?! For crap food?!? Never again!

Value slam

It's usually not busy after the breakfast/lunch rush. But I often crave pancakes at any time of day. They have an every day value slam $6.48 plus tax all day every day. Comes with 2 eggs two bacon or sausage and 2 pancakes. It's delicious affordable and filling. The to go order is packaged nicely with the eggs/meat in a compartment separate from the the pancakes.

Breakfast slam

Food was great, good service, and atmosphere was relaxed. Didn't take long to be seated.

Cucumbers with freezer burn. They were mushy and tasted nasty. This was on my Cobb salad. They charged me full price.

First of all, I have to say our server Veronica was great. She is the reason I am increasing my rating from 1 star to 2 stars. She greeted us with a smile and although she had a lot of tables to wait on she didn't make us feel rushed. I am also very patient with businesses right now because I am very aware of staffing issues and how they are impacting speed of service. We are all human and can only do so much. Because of this, I didn't really worry when we were seated for 9 minutes without a single offer of beverages. Looking around I could see that there was very few staff members working. Then Veronica came over with a smile and friendly quips and took our orders. They were out of the chicken noodle soup that I ordered and she didn't rush me while I looked at the menu to choose an alternative. My son and daughter ordered the Tennessee Chicken Sandwich and fries, which was not bad. Nothing special to write home about but not bad. My daughters boyfriend ordered a pancake breakfast which he enjoyed. My husband ordered a build your burger with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. His meat patty was not seasoned and the chef omitted part of his add ins. The gravy was dull and flavorless. I ordered a Cobb salad and asked for no bacon and a grilled chicken breast on the side. The chicken breast was pretty good. A little on the rubbery side, but seasoned well and served at the right temperature. However, I was missing my boiled egg on the salad, and the cucumbers and lettuce had what appeared to be freezer burn. They were inedible and mushy with a horrible taste. I ate my chicken and was going to eat the cherry tomatoes. Both my husband and I popped a cherry tomato (or grape tomato?) in our mouths at the same time and promptly spit them out into our napkins. They were disgusting, seemingly affected by the same freezer burn as the rest of the salad. Also there was a big chunk of the core of the lettuce on my plate. Yuck. Our waitress was on break. I did not eat the salad. All I ate was the chicken , which I was perfectly happy paying for. When my husband went to pay he told the girl that my salad was inedible and her response was basically, "oh well. Too bad." She wouldn't adjust the check to delete the inedible Cobb salad that was still sitting on the table and didn't seem to care. That was the point where Dennys could have redeemed themselves. If she had apologized and adjusted the bill I would probably not have written this review or I would have given them 3 stars. Bad food coupled with bad service (after Veronica went on break) created a very bad experience. I have included pictures of my salad and you can clearly see the cucumbers are bad. The lettuce and tomatoes were too but it's harder to see in the pictures. You can also see the core. I had already eaten my chicken, which was ok. Come on Dennys...up your game. I know you're not an elevated dining experience but we do expect our food to be edible and service to be responsive. You're lucky you have Veronica at the Rosedale Promenade to at least rate an extra star.

She comes from LA so we meet halfway. She is so nice and so friendly. She really won my heart! This is the second time we meet in Bakersfield. I had this place saved for a while now so I was excited for the visit there. We got there and they sat us almost right away. They have a cute lobby before the entrance to the restaurant. There is an old telephone booth and Christmas decorations. Johnny brought us the menu and it was the lunch menu. I saw on line that they had some great food for breakfast and Te-see asked him about it. He told us they were still making breakfast so I got happy. I ordered a coffee with cream and he brought it in a little tray with the creamer on the side. The table was a little wobbly and the coffee spilled all over the tray. Luckily Te-see got that fixed with a sugar packet. Jonny brought me another tray with coffee and cream. Almost everything was plant base, some egg and chicken but definitely no red meat. Unless I didn't see it. So I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and my daughter the Happy-go-Lucky-bowl. Te-see got the torta española and slew got a pancake to shared. All the food came very fancy well presented. Almost like magazine perfect. I loved them. We were taking videos and pictures as we should like a truly Yelpers that we are. Haha! The food was so tasty and flavorful. I loved my chilaquiles. They were perfect for my palate. They were crunchy and still with the flavor of the sauce. So delicious. They came with a little bowl of beans from the olla. (Freshly cooked) Te-see mention that her torta española was great as well. It came with some green salad. And it did really look so good. My daughter got the Happy-go-lucky-bowl. I was surprised she liked it. It was so beautiful presented. Sorry I already mention that. But yes it was pretty. There was berries melon, pineapple. She said it was really good and filling. She couldn't finish it. The pancake we order to share was so healthy made with all the good grains like chia, hemp seed, brown rice, oat flour. So good. It had some bananas and berries on top. Really delicious. I want to go back again just writing about it. I may go back and order different things from the menu. The bathrooms are very clean. Also maybe restaurant is part of the hotel

Cute atmosphere hostesses took a while to come to the front…read moreto seat us. Ordered the Chilaquiles, came out cold somehow & the flavor was okay. Pancakes were mid. Small water cups & had to flag down waitress to get more water multiple times . Honestly wont be coming back.

The eggs were well poached, nice and runny yolk. The meat portion was good, it was a touch salty. Muffin was toasted well and the hash browns were good. The hollandaise sauce was a touch heavy on the lemon but I still enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly when I entered as well so the service was good. The setback for me was the price tag, it was almost $18 for just the benedict with hash brown, no drink or anything else. It's a bit high, I think for the quality and taste if it were a few bucks cheaper I'd give pretty high praise. Still, it was a pretty good experience and I'll probably give it another shot down the road.
