I have to be completely honest: my past experiences at various Denny's locations have usually been pretty subpar. We all know the stigma--a lot of them tend to feel a little rundown and neglected. Because of that, I walked into this location on Bascom Avenue with pretty low expectations, but I was absolutely blown away. The moment I stepped inside, I was warmly welcomed and seated quickly. The first thing that caught my attention was how extremely clean and organized the entire restaurant was. It was a night-and-day difference from what you usually expect from the chain. The server who helped me was fantastic. I really wish I had caught his name, but he was a male with a goatee. He was incredibly efficient, friendly, and genuinely conversational, making the entire visit feel welcoming rather than just transactional. When it came to the food, it arrived quickly, but not too fast. Honestly, I preferred that slight pause because when the plate actually hit the table, it was obvious the kitchen took their time. The food was prepared with proper procedure and care--it was easily the most perfect-looking meal I have ever received at any Denny's in my entire life. Huge shout-out to this team. They deserve a ton of credit for completely separating themselves from the masses and shattering the unfortunate stigma that follows other locations. They are running a tight ship here, and I will definitely be back. read more

A surprisingly "home-style" turkey dinner from a place that isn't trying to be fancy Most Thanksgiving turkey plates at big chains taste like they came straight out of a banquet steam pan: dry edges, tired fibers, more volume than soul. This $16 turkey plate at Denny's wasn't that. When we ordered, the server casually mentioned: "If you're debating between the $15 and $16 options, most guests prefer the $16 one." On the menu photo, the $15 version does look noticeably paler, but we didn't order it, so I won't speculate. What I can say is that the $16 turkey we got was legitimately juicy, tender, and closer to a homemade roast than to processed "holiday tray" meat. The real test? My friend - someone who usually does not like Thanksgiving turkey - cut off a piece, chewed for a second, and said: "This is actually good." That one sentence says more than most reviews. * Turkey - moist, warm, and properly seasoned. * Stuffing - tasted like it actually saw some turkey drippings, not just dry boxed mix. * Mashed potatoes - creamy, with real bacon bits mixed in, which is well above typical diner expectations. * Gravy - classic, smooth, and does its job. The only clear weak point: cranberry sauce. It's obviously the canned style - shape and texture give it away. At this price point it's not shocking, but if they ever upgraded this one component to a simple house cranberry sauce, the whole plate would jump a tier. That said, to be fair: On the days before Thanksgiving, at a 24/7 national diner chain, for $16 total, getting a turkey dinner that tastes this decent and this comforting is already outperforming quite a few places charging a lot more for their "holiday special." This isn't a plate trying to pretend it's fine dining. It's an honest, warm, and surprisingly satisfying turkey dinner. - Dr. C Only writing for what truly earns the stars. read more

DoorDashed the Cali Club Sandwich a couple times this week for lunch. It is such a scrumptious sandwich with turkey, ham, bacon, Swiss cheese, avocado, lettuce, and tomato. The avocado is the best part; it's fresh and they give you lots of it. The fries are good, too, but if you want to make it a bit healthier you can order fruit instead. I've never been much of a Denny's fan, but ever since I tried the Cali Club Sandwich about a year ago I've been going back for it again and again. Removed one star because they forgot to include ketchup with my last order. read more

Their evening server Guadalupe is fantastic. They are so lucky to have her. She keeps everything running smoothly and everything so clean and organized. I'd snatch her away if I could hire her... but, alas, I'll have to settle for sitting in her section. Btw, it's all her section at night! Thank you, Guadalupe A !! read more

Fast, good menu, and the server was super nice even though she was slammed everyone was being so mean to her. I felt so bad. She was working so hard and the only person working. I'm definitely gonna go back just for her because she not only gave us good service but she did it with a smile on her face even though the place is super busy and it was New Year's Eve. Dennys had someone else working other than her that night. She deserves a raise. read more

First time being at this location. We waited for 30 minutes for our nacho and it was not even busy. So disappointed. Burnt nacho that cost almost $18. It was the worst nacho that I ever eaten. Not enough meat and the worst part was burnt chips that tasted so bitter. read more

We are now blessed with two Gold Standard Denny's locations. Well done, Manager! I enjoyed a Double Berry Banana Pancake Slam a couple days ago. Everything was fresh and tasty. The bacon was lean and delicious, too. There was a generous serving of sliced banana and excellent ripe strawberries on top of the pancakes! Our server was very attentive; our coffees never went dry. The restarant was clean and inviting as usual. Temperature control was spot on. Perfectly comfortable for old men and perhaps a tiny bit brisk for women. Team members went far out of their way to be kind and accomodating to us senior citizens; in one case dashing to whisk seating out of the way so that we could easily park our wheelchair. In another case going far out of their way to return a valuable notebook that I had inadvertently left behind. A solid five star performance at 2201 South Bascom Avenue! read more

This Denny's has been a welcome addition to the area ever since the one across the street closed and this one opened. I e eaten here several times. This time I got the sirloin steak and eggs with a fruit bowl and it was prepared extremely well. They forgot my fruit but when it finally made its appearance it surpassed expectations.

Usually I don't review chains from which I don't expect consistency with respect to standards or QC or for which I would guess there might be a frequent turnover of kitchen staff. But I was curious about what Denny's food is now like, and this location is a more recent opening. I ordered the build-your-own omelette. The egg was maybe average in taste, definitely not high quality. The sausage was not good at all, it tasted and felt like a vegetarian substitute. The pancakes were ok but not fluffy enough; the hash browns could have been cooked longer, they weren't crispy enough. I also sampled the bacony friend had. It was more like turkey bacon than pork bacon, not delectable for me. So the high rating for the egg and the pancakes, and that's being generous. Service was ok but our server could have checked on the table for water refills more often as there was at most only one other party in the restaurant at that time. I wouldn't expect service quality to improve much though given the talent pool for such positions, and for management as well. I don't plan on trying another Denny's any time soon. read more

I tried the Birthday Slam, which is offered for free on your birthday (with ID), but FYI it was pretty basic--no toppings/anything extra to make it special. The staff was okay, a bit impatient, but the person at the register was helpful. Service overall was just alright. It was kind of empty when I went. read more

No wonder this place will be shut down. I watched the supposed greeter embaress an older gentleman trying to pay and he was having trouble with his card. The girl said if you can't use your card maybe you and your friends should try the senior center. And I heard her and the line cooks laughing about it. I won't go back to à place that it's OK to mock seniors. read more

They recently moved to this smaller location that used to be Goodies- it's cute, staff was friendly, space is clean. The food quality has just gone down over the years. What I remember getting years ago compared to now; drastically different. It's Denny's at the end of the day, you know what you're gonna get. I was just a bit disappointed with food quality and taste. read more

Very nice, cute little mini Denny's. We got seated right away even though it was Saturday morning, and our Waiter was very nice. Food came out quick and was exactly as we ordered, plus they put my savory stuff on one plate and my sweet stuff on another without me asking, which made me very happy! They were also very nice to my service dog, and no one tried to distract her, which I really appreciated. Plenty of parking, but the accessible spaces are not super close to the door, your best spot if you are going to have mobility issue is to park in back as close to the Apricot Ave as you can and come around the building on that side, this will set you up with their ramp, which is a pretty good low slope, to the front door. I had the new brioche french toast, and it was really good. Partner had the chicken fried steak, he said the gravy needed more pepper, but he's not a great judge of that, so it was probably perfect for normal humans who do not come from a pepper-based atmosphere. read more

I wanna give 0 stars but if you order online from this dennys they will give you NOTHING except your food, no sauces, no utensils and no napkins. I've asked for utensils and sauces online but this dennys never fulfills the complete order. They need to find a better paying job if they are gonna be this lazy. I've ordered from this location 3 times and it's always the same thing, this location does not deserve your business. Good luck! (I've included tips into my order too but no more!) read more

El otro día fui con mi pareja a comer a este dennys al parecer es nuevo, se miraba limpiecito, al entrar me cuenta que tienen lucecitas en las paredes se mira muy, muy bien, después de ser muy bien recibidos por la mesera en turno, pasamos a sentarnos, y con una sonrisa nos preguntó si queríamos una bebida, pero ya estábamos listos para ordenar, la comida salió muy rápido y se miraba bien echa. Tuvimos en excelente servicio rápido y eficaz. Espero le den un aumento a la mesera no le pregunté si nombre pero escuché al que le ayudaba con la mesas decirle Chris. Muy buen trabajo read more

I'm a regular at this restaurant. I love the hamburgers, and the lunches are usually inexpensive and delicious. It's always nice to go when Christian (I think she's the manager) is there. She once helped me with a misunderstanding with someone else about my food and since then we always chat a little. Its not a long wait for the food and even though the restaurant is sometimes crowded, there's always a good atmosphere. read more

I came here for lunch today and Lupe was our server. She was very helpful with our order as I was trying to decide which slam to get. She recommended the hearty 9 grain pancake slam and it was a hit!!! Thanks Lupe!!! I will definitely be back!! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! I walked in on Halloween! They told me they wouldn't seat me due to there dirty dishes? I have no clue as to why it is so hard to wash some for the guests? They then forced me to order out while I'm in town visiting so that's kinda hard for me to eat out of my car. I think went and used the first bathroom I saw NO TOILET PAPER so I went to the next one again NO TOILET PAPER or even paper towels. It's Halloween not only that but a Saturday and this is absolutely the most unprofessional dennys let alone restaurant I have ever been to. Not to mention there extras rudeness and disrespect while all we did was simply ask for a table for 2. Whoever manages this place should really think about getting a new job. read more

This was the only restaurant that was open late in San Jose area. It's been a long while, since I been 2 Denny's. I was surprised with the menu, it had a good selection of food. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was a good size, but was thin. (It's Denny's, not Ruth Chris.) The steak was tasty and tender. I was surprised. Overall, the service and food was good 2 go for a late night restaurant. read more

It's about what you would expect from a Denny's ya know. My steak wasn't seasoned for shi*, so use salt n pepper for sure. I even used the A1 sauce. The coffee was piping hot. Service was good though I can say that much. Wednesday morning no one really here so it better be good service which it was. This is like a boutique Denny's. I feel like I'm on vacation here in a weird way. Gotta check the menu for good deals guys. read more

Went here on 8/25 at about 730 PM. Eager to try the new Beetlejuice menu, super excited. I got off work and raced over here. My party was handed menus by a visibly disgruntled server and rudely told to sit down. This was the last we ever saw of him. A good 30 mins have passed. Not a single acknowledgement. No drink orders taken. Not even a "Hi" or a look in our direction. After a half hour of being clearly ignored, we left. Not good, Dennys. Do better. read more

The location, decor and staff are lovely here. Even on a packed Christmas morning things worked well. The staff were efficient and pleasant. Pancakes and eggs were good as usual. The only issue is price and breakfast meats, both of which aren't the staff/managements fault. It's Denny's, breakfast for two shouldn't cost $65. But with the economy I can overlook that. What gets me is that shrinkflation decimated the sausage and bacon. The links and strips are 1/3 the size and taste strange. There is some sort of filler in the new formulation and barely edible. Dennys corporate needs to do something, for 65 bucks I'd rather go to a local breakfast spot. read more

The servers really need to be retrained. The food is still kind of crummy. They get your orders incorrect. The toast is burnt. They don't come back to refill your drinks. After 9 o'clock, you're pretty much screwed if you go here read more

We go to this Denny's for the convenience of how close it is to our house but we always have a complaint so time to finally write a review. Today there was no silverware, ketchup, salt and pepper as well (but this is a first, we always receive those) 1) my partner ALWAYS using coupons, this location consistently tries to deny our coupons that come from the Dennys app. The excuse from them today for why we couldn't use our 20% off coupon is because "our coupon is expired" so he tried to use another one. Denied again. Not sure why there is always a disagreement on our coupons, that's something they need to honor and bring up their concerns with their own corporate, not customers. 2. Every time we go my partner's meal is wrong; he hates bacon and asks for all sausage, 8 times out of 10 he receives bacon. We never go back to complain or fix our meal. 3. The Bacon! Are you kidding me? Thats not even a full piece of bacon, at that point I wish I would've asked for all sausage as well. We broke out laughing looking at the size of that bacon, I never would accept this for an in-house meal. That's definitely something that's gotten away because we are Take-Out. 4. Food is yummy; eggs are eggs, hash-browns are hash-browns, pancakes are pancakes. It's just about the complete inconvenience from staff. Not to mention 80% of the time it's cold by the time we get home from our 6 minute drive. read more

We didn't even order food here today. The restaurant was empty. We were seated and given menus to peruse. After a couple of minutes, the staff turned up a second radio with different music, but kept the main one on at the same decibel level. It was too much for my nerves, so we politely asked that one of them be turned down. He then took our drink order and went around the corner to fetch the drinks. At that very moment, another music station started playing even louder than the first one. So we decided it was not worth trying our nerves just to eat here. Besides that, the server misgendered my wife by calling her "Sir." I think it will be a long while before we visit this location again. read more
