Smelly. Please keep in mind that this place closed in 2025. It was off the I-5 on the opposite side of Harris Ranch, Now it is no more. It was good while it lasted. No more yelp reviews for this place. read more

It was late on a Christmas night so this beacon of light was a joy to find. Being close to closing on this holiday, we were happy with this nice find. I enjoyed the skillet means sans onions. Hot off the griddle, it was enchanted with a nice wheat toast. Just one person hosting and serving, but it worked out well. The indoor seating is plentiful for a normal busy day. This night, the six tables of customers were together in the front area. As people finished up, the server kept up on cleaning and checking people out at the register. Let's hear it for nice places open at less common times. read more

Ordered chocolate malt milkshake. It was the consistency of chocolate milk. Ordered the sampler with three other lunch meals. Sampler was delivered last after other meals. I do not recommend this Denny's due to poor food management & quality of service. Rating should be "zero"!! read more

It's say open at 6 am Buts its not. Closed!! You guys need change the hours for your clients don't lost time. read more

these location is conveniently located close to the I-5 freeway. They have some good values on the menu, such as the 55+ menu. One of the good things about Denny's is that it has plenty of options for everyone. You can order breakfast, sandwiches, hamburgers, salad, steaks, chicken, etc., so it is easy for everyone in a large group to find something on the menu that they like. Our food arrived fairly quickly and service was prompt. The location is a bit old and needs remodeling, however, it was fairly good overall. read more

Very good service and delicious food, especially good value on the 55+ menu. I ordered the scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese that comes with two bacon and sausage. Instead of buttermilk pancakes, I asked to substitute it with their crispy hash browns. Denny's regular coffee is 100% arabica and it's rich and aromatic (free refills, too). Love their coffee. Richard greeted me and was quick to seat me in a booth with a view. He was very kind and attentive. His service was excellent as he gave everyone his undivided attention. Right off of Interstate 5 heading south towards LA and before Kettlemen City, take the exit to the Chevron and Valero gas stations. Several fast food outlets are also open, but it's nice to take a break from driving to stretch the legs and use the restroom. The place is clean and comfortable with air conditioning for relief from the valley heat during Summer. I'll be back again to enjoy another meal at this Denny's location in Coalinga on I-5. read more

Stopped here on our way down to SoCal for dinner since they have Mac n cheese (my kids' specific request) and Harris Ranch had nothing they wanted to eat. While the food was fine (it was Kraft Mac n cheese - my kids' favorite, the seasoned fries was delicious, and our salads were satisfying), this site was sorely understaffed and the service really suffered. We spent over two hours for dinner, most of it was just waiting on everything from being seated, drinks, order taking, and food delivery. Our server was very polite and pleasant but clearly overwhelmed. Even giving us the bill, she told us to go up front to pay, but there was no one there! We just had to stand and wait until our server could come over and process the bill. This is an older building and looked like it needed some repairs and updates. The bathrooms were a bit dirty and the sink was broken. read more

Our server, Ana, was terrific! She was friendly, prompt and stayed up with refills on coffee without us asking. Best service we've had in a long time! Thank you Ana! The restaurant was clean, the food was good. We were in and out quickly. No long waits. We were seated promptly, the food arrived quickly. From the time we first walked in , to the time we left was about 45 minutes tops. We will stop here again when we travel through. We did not use the restroom, so we can not comment on that. What we did see was clean and friendly people. read more

What was meant to be an exciting visit turned into a surprise when we discovered that the location was closed instead of open, leaving us with a sense of curiosity and disappointment. read more

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the food and service at Denny's! We stopped here to charge our car during a long journey and decided to grab a bite while waiting. The service was excellent--our waitress was super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and satisfying, just what we needed for the road ahead. If we're ever passing through Coalinga again, we'll definitely be stopping by this Denny's! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my breakfast here. I had a T Bone Steak and Eggs breakfast. It was a thick cut of meat. It had a lot of gristle on the outside, but it was more flavorful than the filet I had the night before! There was no wait to grab a table and the service was very good. Way to go, Denny's! read more

We in and where seated right away. Our server came over 10 minutes later. On the way to our table we saw 8 other tables covered with dirty dishes. No one was clearing them. Tania came over and took our order and got us our drinks. Their was flies everywhere. Tania came with our food and also refilled our drinks. The food was ok . Tania was the only reason for the two stars. Before leaving I made a trip to the Men's room. More files and paper towels everywhere. read more

This is for any travelers looking for something to eat, I'd skip this particular Denny's for the Taco Bell if the Starbucks is closed. Most Denny's aren't this bad. The one star is unfortunately the lowest Yelp allows for a rating. We understand we were here on a holiday, we understand that it was busy and they're probably doing the best to get food out. BUT a couple things to notice: 1. Our waitress rushed us into ordering but not in a good way. Again, we understand you're busy but don't make someone order something they are contemplating. 2. We got our cutlery but no napkins. The only way I could get napkins was when we paid at the counter. It wasn't for the lack of asking. 3. The pancakes with the plates did not come with maple syrup. We had to ask multiple times for our syrup. 4. We also needed butter but the butter came with the check and the toast comes dipped in butter. We had to squeeze out the butter from the toast and gave up on the toasts eventually. 5. When asked for the butter, our server was a little snappy. 6. The eggs had fish in them (we had vegetarians in our party). One of the loaded vegetable omelettes had a sausage in them. 7. None of us actually finished our food since each of us had something missing. 8. This stop set us back by 2 hours and we weren't any happier. read more

Denny's - Build Your Own Grand Slam - Diners Near Me - Coalinga, California

Okay. Denny's was right next to our hotel. Tired and just wanting dinner we ordered via phone call. Manager was very nice. We ordered a club sandwich with fries and a philly with a salad. Oh and cheesecake because we were on vacation lol! My husband walked to get it and came back with no salad. But the dressing was in the bag. I called, the manager was very apologetic and when James went to get the salad we paid for he was given a runt of a salad, shook his head and walked into the rain. Manager followed him and insisted on on upgrading my salad to a Real salad and sent him with an oj and apologized again. With that said, he did all he could. This is the thing, club sandwich was fine, fries were inedible, Cmon Cookie, even you wouldn't eat those! Philly was not very good either! My salad, after all was done, was the best part of our order. So, props to the manager for trying to make it right. I do suggest though that you train your kitchen staff to try harder at making your food worth it. I know your Denny's. But c'mon man read more

This dennys is RACIST towards Asians! First of all Hostess is RACIST towards Asians! The hostess and a male server was contemplating to where to sit us even tho there were lots of seats open....we sat down and she didn't even ask if we wanted anything....sat for 10min! but when 5 white guys comes in..... she sits them down and then literally 30 seconds later after sitting them down she goes to them and asks if they want anything to drink and then proceeded to look at us and knowing she didn't ask us anything but didn't even bother to ask us if we wanted anything to drink and she sat us FIRST. We get it you don't wan to serve Asian people.... We get the hint. So we left! This Dennys should shut down! read more

The first thing when you walk in it's hot inside? AC was not working properly? Then I ordered ice tea and it was old and nasty! I ordered the chicken fried steak dinner and got 2 two inch pieces of bread , maybe a teaspoon of mashed potatoes and gravy? And maybe a teaspoon of macaroni and cheese? This was the worst meal I have ever eaten! I never finished it! The service was okay but the lady was rude when I was paying my bill 28.00 for that ? If anyone is in Coalinga please do not got to this Dennys ! Made my stomach upset! I wish I could give it a negative 30 stars! Never going to another Dennys again! read more

The food was absolutely disgusting! Waited for ever when it got to table it was cold my husbands had a hair !!! Yukkk the coffee was trash ! Honestly only good thing was our waiter poor man Chris he was wonderful! The kitchen failed !!! This needs a raise 1 man show super polite attentive but the cooks trash!!!! read more

The lady had airpids in. We sat here for 20 mins. Got water and the lady went on her 10. no one assisted us for food and 3 people got their orders in before we could even place an order. We left being that we need to be back by 12pm. read more

I came in with a friend on Sunday, July 1st around 12:30 PM and we could immediately tell they were short staffed, but trying to make it happen. About half of the tables were full, which made sense, because it's in a remote area off the 5 near a few gas stations. The gentleman bussing the tables saw us waiting to be seated, as the sign said, and said they'd be with us in a minute. After a few minutes we were seated. I noticed I could get a gluten-free English muffin and that made my day. I ordered the Grand Slam with a GF English muffin, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit. My friend ordered a Cobb salad with grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. Although there weren't that many people there it took quite a while, like 20 minutes, to get our food. The whole stop to get gas and eat here took exactly an hour so that says something because there was no line at the gas station and they are both close to each other and the freeway. When our food arrived my friend's food was great and mine appeared great, but the eggs and bacon were not even slightly warm. The eggs were cold and the bacon room temperature. I tried to eat it as it was but the eggs were so gross I had to ask them to please just put the plate in the microwave for a little bit, which they did. So, our food was good, but the service was not what it could have been in the way of speed. Everyone there was nice though and helpful so my friend and I will definitely be returning again! Both of us remarked as we left that it was a great place to stop for a bite to eat and a fill up on gasoline and we agreed that we should stop there when we are driving by the next time. Thanks for the gluten-free options, Dennys! read more

We stopped to get breakfast at this specific location and I was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews... but I am so glad we did! Our server Tania had us seated right away and brought our food out within 15 minutes. She was attentive of us (7 people) and 6 other tables. Thank you so much tania! I will definitely be back at this Dennys for future trips. read more

Very poor customer service from the supposed manager "jasmine" who failed to give any type of resolution to a very minuscule problem regarding their malfunctioning claw arm game. She initially refused to come talk to me about the machine that stole my dollar and after coming out following a second ask came out and basically told me it's not her problem and to call the maintainer of the game in their lobby. Won't be going to Dennys moving forward as this problem could have easily been mitigated with minimal effort or customer service. As someone who managed restaurants my entire adult life this issue was something that shouldn't result in negative guests experiences. read more

Dirtiest dine in restaurant I have ever been to. Let's begin with the bathrooms, the floors are sticky and the smell urine perforates the room into the restaurant. I had to look for my own highchair as there was only one waitress and she was busy. I spotted the stack of high chairs and the first one I grab is sticky, dirty, and still had food on it. The busboy asked me if i was ok, I let him know I was looking for clean high chair and he just responded "ok", without offering to help or clean any of them. I decided to go with a booster seat. At the table, our drinks were brought to us. One glass of orange juice had dried up milk on it. So gross! There was a fly around us, my husband swatted it with a kids menu and the fly landed on the window sill, where a spider was quick to devour it. I look at the window and there is many fly droppings. The place is disgusting. If it's this dirty outside can you imagine the kitchen. The establishment takes advantage of the customers as they know they are one time diners. I wouldn't eat here if it were free. read more

If I could give a negative 1 I would! This place had terrible service! The server had a bad attitude, we literally had to beg to get utensils and napkins! Also sat down to take our order and still had a bad attitude that my kids kept changing their order! I mean cmon they're kids, kids are indecisive! We waited about 30 mins for our COLD food They obviously had been sitting there waiting to be picked up! We asked if they could reheat our plates but it just wasn't the same. I mean I know it's just dennys not no five start but even then this was totally unfair service for a restaurant that only had like 15 people there anyway still ended up paying $127 But people please save your money steer clear from this dennys! read more

Very very slow service at breakfast on Saturday. I had to remind them about my milk shake and a refill on coffee. 56 minutes and no food. I finally asked and he said it would be awhile so we left. read more

Denny's - Chocolate milk shake - Diners Near Me - Coalinga, California

We stopped by this location on our drive back home! It's literaly in the middle of nowhere, But after a long drive, the Server Leonardo greated us in such an energeric way we felt welcomed. Leonardo was running the place and tended to our needs. Food was good like your average Dennys nothing special. But the service was just great and a nice relaxing stop before we continue our drive again! Props to Leonardo because he is such a great asset to Dennys! Thank you so much for an Amazing service! Sorry I forgot to take pics of our food because we ate it so quick because we were hungry! read more

We made an unexpected stop at a motel last night right next to this Denny's and they were close enough to order breakfast online and walk over the next morning. I only knew they were short staffed because (1) the food wasn't ready and (2) I overheard a conversation the employees had in the back. Although it seemed as if there were only three ladies working, no one complained, they were upbeat, friendly and just lovely. Being short staffed is not really a new concept at a restaurant that is practically in the middle of nowhere, but the positive attitudes and friendliness of the staff more than made up for the delay in receiving our order. I couldn't imagine anyone giving these ladies less than five stars when they showed up for work, did their jobs well and were happy to do so. Plus, the food was just as good as any other Denny's we've ever been. We would definitely go back and tip higher next time as well. read more

They close at 11pm. Which is not, in fact, 24 hours. The only excuse to eat Denny's is because it's the only thing open. It's the one thing they do right. Especially in places like this where there's nothing around along the highway. So when google says you're 24 hours, and your app says you're 24 hours, maybe you can find it in your heart to correct those times so people don't waste time in the middle of the night trying to pick up an order. An order that your app accepted and charged me for by the way. An order that you still haven't refunded me for by the way. read more

Keep driving. The service is non existent, the food will take half an hour to get to your table after you order and it will be cold. They will forget to give you your pancakes then refuse to remove a $1 upcharge to make up for it. The pancakes taste like flavorless cardboard. I have been to many restaurants, many dinners, many dives, and many Denny's. This one is by far the worst.hit the McDonald's next door and keep moving. They are the only restaurant in 30 miles and they know it. They don't even try. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Coalinga, California

Hey when you stop on interstate 5 to get gas and food you are looking for the following. Check list: A convenient place to gas up you rig. A clean Restroom A convenient parking space. Good cheap fast comfort food. Don't expect great service. Don't expect farm to table vegetables. Don't expect the fresh catch of the day. Denny's is not necessarily reviewable but this trip down the 5, we stopped in and had the pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy and it was so satisfying. It had a long roasted beef flavor and thick gravy. The chicken noodle soup was thick and hearty perfect after a stormy drive. The rest rooms were clean and there was parking right in front of the restaurant. We ate and paid $21 before tip and were in and out in 35 minutes. The only knock was the coffee was weak weak weak. Get gas across the street and we were back on the road the Los Angeles. read more
