    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.

    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!

    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!

    This is a Chicken Sandwich that has been frying beyond recognition.

    Everything was super overfried, onion, rings, Chicken Sandwich, Fish and Chips, overfried

    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.

    We stopped in this hotel for the night on our way moving from San Diego to Sacramento to cut up the…read moredrive. We had read that they accommodated a lot of RVs and people with U-Haul's, etc., so felt safe staying there for the night. Checked in about 9 PM. Everybody was super helpful. We have our cats with us so we were a little stressed out about how it was going to be, but they made sure that we were comfortable and we were in a really nice, large and clean room. I did think that the property is a little bit dated. They've done a good job with upkeep. The only issue I really had was that when I got out of my car there was a very strong animal smell. I asked at the front desk with that smell was, and they said that it was fertilizer that they applied to the fields that night. It was intense. We got up and we're back on the road by 5 AM. Unfortunately we did not get to try the restaurant although I heard that their steakhouse is excellent. Also, the pool looked really beautiful and clean.

    Made a pit stop here at Harris Ranch Resort because we have always been curious about this place…read moreand wanted to eat some steaks from the source. Since it's right next to Interstate 5, it is very convenient for t9ad trips doen California. ​When I initially looked up the restaurant, I was a bit confused because online it seems that they have 4 different restaurants, and I wasn't sure where they are all located. But we just went and followed the signs that said "Restaurant." When we walked in the main entrance, the first thing we saw was the Country Store. To the right is the Horseshoe Lounge, the Prime Steakhouse in the middle, and Ranch Kitchen is towards the end. I think they also have a barbecue restaurant, but in a separate building. This place is massive. ​We decided to dine at Ranch Kitchen, where there was a huge group of people sitting right outside. I originally thought they were waiting for a table, but they were all just there for the restroom since this seems to be the place to be for pit stops down I-5. It was around 6 PM on Monday, and we got seated pretty quickly. ​We ordered the 14 oz. Choice Ribeye (medium rare) and the Country Fried Steak. Both included either baked potatoes or mashed potatoes (we opted for baked) and broccoli and carrots. The ribeye also included either a soup or salad, but given the current scare with the lettuce parasite, I opted for the clam chowder. ​They start you out with hot bread rolls and some salted whipped butter. The ribeye was very tender and delicious. It was well-seasoned and does not need steak sauce or anything. The country fried steak was quite tasty and comes with a massive amount of gravy, the way I like it. ​Overall, this was a great stop with great food. The service was amazing and the waiter was very attentive. This will definitely be a regular pit stop of ours.

Ordering was quick and easy through the self-service kiosk, and I was able to enter my rewards number without any issues. My shake was ready in about five minutes, making it a perfect quick stop before getting back on the road. The restaurant itself feels moderately updated and has a welcoming atmosphere. Inside was generally clean, although I did notice a few crumbs on some of the seats and spilled food around the top of the trash can that could have used a little attention. One of the biggest perks of this location is its convenience for EV drivers. It's located right next to a row of Rivian chargers and directly across from Tesla Superchargers, with outdoor picnic tables where you can relax while your vehicle charges. Overall, it was a good experience with friendly, efficient service and a delicious birthday treat. A little more attention to cleanliness would make this location even better, but I'd definitely consider stopping here again during future charging breaks.

The pictures on the posters and kiosk are dramatized and look nothing like them. What you get is a super downsized burger with half melted cheese, half grilled onions, and some sides of fruit flies to set the mood. The bun is 90 percent of the meal. Keep driving! We will never be back.

I got the Jose Burger with fries- burger with bacon, grilled onions, Ortega chili and American cheese. It was a pretty meaty burger. Had pickles, lettuce and tomato and lathered with mayo. Had to request mustard and ketchup. Burger was impressively good. Fries were thin and fried. Kinda remind me of shoestring fries.

Nothing around it because the gas station. 3 stars Also, there's 2 prices on the check. Cash and a higher price for using a credit card
