Food was as expected. Nice that they offered a Gluten free English muffin, be sure to ask for it to be toasted . Our waitress Sabrina was awesome, working hard and friendly at the same time, you go girl! read more

Well I stopped here today and decided on getting a milkshake. First problem was that my shake was over flowing and the sides were covered in ice cream. Secondly it took too long for them to bring me napkins to clean their mess. In the menu it specifically states that there is extra shake in the tin and I was looking forward to it. There was not and when I asked I didn't get a straight response. Then while I was paying I asked about again and this time I was told that I should have had t but no effort was made to reconcile the situation. I feel cheated out of my $4.50 and the poor service make me regret spending my hard earned money in this establishment. Very poor experience. read more

wow this is the worst service I have received in my life the waitress did not weave no napkins or straws to drink the smoothie that my son ordered we finished eating and never arrived !! the super racist waitress because we are latinos is not given the food we were the worst waitress a racist !!! read more

Poor service. They only had two waitresses and took over 30 minutes to get our food. I asked for decaf coffee and I got a cup with lipstick on it. When I told the person who brought my coffee, she said it was coffee grains. I said "it is lipstick". We ask for water 3 times and never got it. If you are traveling and want to grab a quick breakfast , do not stop at this Denny's. They are definitely under staffed. Need more servers. As for the food, I prefer ihop. I had to give them a star or else I could not post my review. read more

I came here after having a really bad day. The manager, Jenna was very friendly and cheered me up. The coffee was good and hot. I will be coming here more often! read more

We always stop at this Denny's on our way to Disneyland , and I am never disappointed. Great service, and all smiles.

I don't know if it's because they are in the middle of no where but that is still no excuse for their bad/lack of customer service. They were serving a party of 15 and the rest of the place was pretty much empty, had to sit myself, track someone down to even get some service. read more

Stop for breakfast on r way to out of town family trip customer service was ok food was fast

Stopped here for breakfast, and it took forever for our food to be ready. And the pancakes came out last. How long does it take to make two pancakes? The battery's already mixed, pour it on the grill and flip. Easier than making an egg! We weren't the only ones with slow food service. read more

Best Denny's ever. Rigo and John are such great servers. Very friendly and welcoming. The food was also great and quick service.

Sheelah B was our server today she provided exceptional service. Her professional service skills, knowledge, and hospitality were given with a big smile. She has gone over and beyond her duties by making sure our table had all the extras we needed to have a fabulous lunch. She enthusiastically asked if we needed anything else at our time here at Denny's and it felt like we were at the comfort of our own home. I find few people in the restaurant business that have shined like that of her gift of hospitality. Thanks Denys for hiring a top of the line person, serve oriented, class act waitress - we will visit here again and ask for her. read more

Short staff, poor service. Wouldn't recommend it!! No condiments on the table, wrong order, never refilled your drinks, you ask for something and it takes a long time before you get it. read more

Must have been short staffed in the kitchen. I felt sorry for the waiting staff, the food (breakfast which is usually quick) took forever. Cantaloupe was cut terribly, with much of the green rind still on. Our two breakfasts were brought out minimum 5 minutes apart. Wait staff was good at refilling the coffee, probably because the food coming out of the kitchen was few and far between. The manager just stood around looking extremely unhappy. She should have made better use of time engaging with the customers and smiling! read more

Poor service, they take too long to take your drinks, they take forever to bring your drinks and more than 45 minutes for the food, the burgers are so soggy, and the service is plain horrible. Do no recommend at all. The employees are so slow and take to long to give you your change read more

If you want to actually get served food find somewhere else. Tonight I sat there for 15 minutes and wasn't even given a glass of water. As I walked out the waitress made the excuse that she was only one person. One person can bring a glass of water and take an order in less than a minute. Customer service isn't rocket science, it takes some forethought, courtesy and honesty. read more

Food was really good. Always ate breakfast only butt late night of driving and the only place that looked good was Denny's. We were pleasantly surprised. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes gravy corn and bread everything was wonderful and my soup was great too. My husband had the steak Kabob which he enjoyed very much topped it off with a banana split and we waddled away very satisfied. Denny's is more than just a breakfast place for sure! read more

So bad! Came here last night after being in the car for four straight long hours for dinner. Drinks sucked - I ordered a strawberry mango drink and got the sweetest sugary drink ever, it was horrible. Ordered appitizers for six people and our main course came first instead. I had a supposedly "hot" soup which was taste OK but it was obvious it had been sitting for a while it wasn't even WARM....I asked the waitress who was nice to warm it up. She actually had to warm my cousins soup which was also cold up too and my sisters food too. My sister had ordered the chicken-fried steak and the gravy on it was already clumpy like jello. Steak was also cold. I don't know why our food was cold, if they decided to treat us like crap specifically or cold food is normal but the food was all cold and waitress forgot many things we had to ask her where this and that was. I.E. where are the appitizers? Can we please have some utensils? I left and went over to McDonalds, at least my food was hot there. Regardless it was the worst $70 I ever spent on a meal and wouldn't reccomment this place at all. ... unless you like long waits, cold food and bad service all around. read more

after 5 hours of driving from LA back to SF, starving and thirsty, my roomie and i decided to stop at denny's. walked in and TWO hostesses were at the register helping this one guy get the right change. really? you need two people to do that? the mean looking chola finally grabbed some menus and pointed at a booth in the back for us to go sit down. we finally do, and we wait maybe 20 minutes or so for her to come take our order. don't get me wrong, we waved at her a couple of times to come over, but she insisted on chatting up and laughing with the busboy instead. food was.. well, as good as denny's gets. we never got water refills, she never came back.. so guess who didn't get a tip. :) read more

I give this place one star. There was none to seat customers and a stand by cashier. I was lining up and waiting to order my food for to go and suddenly there were two ladies cut me off because they dined in and needed to pay. A guy named Mario came out from the back just ignored me and called those two ladies to pay. There was a guy behind me who was nice enough to say that I was here first. Mario pretended he didnt hear anything until someone else came to take my order. Bad service! I will not come back to this location. read more

Come here only if you want to lose about 1 hr 1/2 in travel time. Stepped in the door at 1pm with lots of empty seats didn't leave till 2:36 some are still dirty, as if they spent hours cleaning a single table at a time. I had to ask multiple times if my food was almost ready, till I was about to leave when it finally arrived. Note: still missing some plates. Food was pretty good, isn't it all good when you are starving. Expect long delays here. read more

After reading several other reviews, I'm beginning to see a pattern here. This Denny's is very slow, and the staffing is extremely poor. Our waiter, Rigo, is the only reason I did not walk out. He was waiting on between 6-8 tables the entire time we were there, and for the most part, he was alone in doing so. Some people became rude after being annoyed with the long wait for things such as water and silverware, but Rigo continued to serve everyone with apologies and a genuine smile. Upon leaving, I asked to speak to a manager. I was surprised when she came out of the back and I recognized her as the employee who had been chatting with a table of ladies in our section for about ten minutes. I told her that Rigo was fabulous, but that the lack of help he received was unacceptable in my opinion. There is no reason that she could not have come around and refilled glasses or met minor needs while Rigo continued to take, place, and serve orders. Her only response was, "I'm sorry." The fact that I've seen Rigo's name mentioned positively in two other reviews makes me think that maybe Denny's should hire him as a manager. We gave Rigo a very good tip because he was worth it, but he was definitely too stretched out to provide the service I would expect from any establishment like this. And on a final note, the bathrooms were a mess. They had huge rolls of toilet paper that did not fit their single roll dispenser, so they were sitting on top of the dispensers-or were meant to. Two of the three roles had fallen to the ground. The garabage can was so full that it reached the bottom of the paper towels when they came out of the automatic dispenser, and there was toilet paper and paper towels all over the floor. read more

We waited for about 15 minutes to get seated. Also the waitress did not check on us to see if we needed anything. My cousins husband had to get up to get my cousin a Tabasco bottle and that's when they asked if we needed anything. read more

Extremely long wait time on everything, including taking us to a table, getting water, ordering food, and waiting for food.This restaurant is heavily under staff. read more

Beyond terrible service..... If you're driving home late from a music festival at 10pm and want something quick to eat off this exit, DO NOT GO TO THIS DENNYS!!!!! read more

This Denny's is particularly clean, friendly, and has great service! My car broke down in the area so I was in and out of the restaurant a lot-- they let me charge my phone, gave me to go boxes last minute, and watched over my stuff while I was in the bathroom. Extremely friendly staff, and the food was pretty damn good! read more

This is the worst Denny's I've ever been to. I don't usually expect too much from Denny's, but it's predictable and there aren't a whole lot of options on this stretch of the 5. We've eaten at Harris Ranch at the same exit before and it was nice, but we wanted something quicker because the kids were hangry. They were slow to seat us, and the place was ostensibly dirty. They didn't have kids menus and gave this super lengthy explanation of why they were out. I asked if they had Mac & cheese, they said they were out. Spaghetti? Out. I asked what they DID have and they said pizza and breakfast so we got one of each. It took 50 minutes from the time we ordered to get food--and it was only the adult's food. You would think that they would want to appease the toddlers first, but whatever. The eggs were burned. Like nice dark brown leathery skin on them so the kids ate pancake only. This place seems decently staffed, lots of parking and seating, but I don't know what the heck was going on in the kitchen. It was getting progressively more busy as we waited and I wanted to tell people who were coming in to turn back now! Denny's of the damned. read more

Fast service with friendly waiters for quick lunch break during long travels

By far the worst restaurant I have experienced. You would think, as we did, that Denny's is Denny's... Well let me tell you, it's not! Spent well over a hour in a not very busy restaurant with three kids. Dirty silverware with crusted food, waited until my husband had been sitting there without anything to drink for about 20 mins to ask if he wanted a refill, which he did, they never brought it! No crayons or kids drink cups, out of smoothies... I could go on, but I won't! Service was awful... no one ever came by and they avoided looking at you in case you might need something. Do yourself a favor... Avoid this place! read more

Awful service. Went to ask the manager to remove the items ordered that I didn't receive and the waitress said I never ordered it! Umm.. Really now? I understand you're in the middle of nowhere and don't expect to see people more than once but blaming the customer isn't customer service. Especially in front of your superior and the customer. read more

It pains me to even give 1 star. As soon as you open the door you get bombed by the stench that resembles sewage! Turned right around. Nasty with even more questionable looking staff, yes I know it's Denny's. read more

Throughout my life, I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at Denny's. But last night, I ordered the slow cooked pot roast. I don't like the bread that comes under it, so I asked the server to replace that bread with another scoop of mashed potatoes. He said that wouldn't be a problem, but when the dish arrived, it was in a soup sized bowl. He told me, that is always how they prepare it, when they don't use bread, because the only reason they use the full plate, is to have room for the bread. There was a LOT of gravy in the bowl, and very little meat. What meat there was, was riddled with fat. The potatoes were runny, because of all of the gravy. I could only eat half of it, as it was making me sick to my stomach. The server refused to allow for any compensation, for the bad meal. I am not used to getting treated like this at Denny's. Seriously, this is the worst Denny's experience, I have ever had. My server was Raul R. I will never go to that location again, no matter how hungry I am, after hours on the road. read more

DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME! Waited over an hour and a half for breakfast for my two kids and didn't get any food. The staff couldn't have cared less. read more

This place is absolutely disgusting. Bathroom is a mess and the manger really does not care. Food is overpriced and they cannot even get a simple order correct. Save your time and money. This place is bad. read more

My wife and I were looking forward to a hearty breakfast after driving 4 hours. Coalinga smelled strong of cattle urine as it usually does. We walked into Denny's and were promptly seated at the window. A fly immediately landed on my head at which time I noticed the window had about 20 flies hovering on the inside. My wife asked if we should just go. For a split second I imagined myself trying to enjoy my breakfast while 20 flies were also doing the same and I replied, "Definitely". We left. read more

This had to be the filthiest restaurant I have ever been in there were half the tables empty but filthy you couldn't use the bathroom they had people waiting for I don't know how long cause we left read more

A typical Denny's but what made it exceptional was the warm reception and great service with a smile we received from Sabrina. Have paid a lot more for a meal at restaurants and received little to no service. Sabrina, if public service is your thing you hit the mark! read more

Worst Customer service I had received. We had been waiting for 30 minutes to get a table and they asked us to wait for an additional 15 minutes. They didn't tell us on our way in that we would have to wait for 30 minutes. I was travelling with my 3 kids and parents. read more

I am from the bay are and have been to many Denny's restaurants in my lifetime. The staff here was by far the most polite and genuine I've ever come across. On 10/13/2018 at 8:30pm My tire blew up on the I5 as I was headed back home from Disney with my two kids, I was able to get an officer to bring us over to Denny's to figure out how to get back home. We sat down ate our food and in that time I was able to have my husband come get us which was going to take him 2hrs to get to us. I needed a place to hangout until he arrived and the staff was very understanding and allowed me and my 4 and 5 year old who can be extremely loud to stay here as long as I needed. They even allowed me to turn on the tv in the back of the restaurant so that my kids are entertained while we wait. I had an extremely rough and scary night and the staff here was so amazing it really brightened my night up. I can't explain how much I appreciate their service and really wish more Denny's employees would be understanding and accommodating like these wonderful people. read more

Everything started when we walked in the door. I think since we were a bi-racial family we did not get the great service I was hoping for on our long drive from Los Angeles to Portland. The girl seated us and i asked for a high chair twice, which she never brought to me. Once our waitress(TAMMY M) arrived about 25 minutes after we had been seated I asked her for one and it took her another 10 to bring it to us. So i had to try to hold my squirmy and tired 1 year old in the booth with us. It took us about 15 minutes to get our drinks from when we ordered them.. Finally when she came back after another 20 minutes later we ordered our food. After ordering we literally waited a good 50 minutes to an hour before we got our dinner, and may i add ''COLD'' dinner. The meat on our burger was Luke warm and our fries ICE COLD!!! My moms fish and chips were cold as well. Our waitress did not check on us not ONCE the entire time we ate dinner, which i thought was quite rude. If she would have came to see how everything was we could have asked her to heat our food up, because i didn't realize when you order a burger it was served COLD. When our waitress finally came around with the bill she only took off 1 of our dinners, which everything was cold so I don't understand why our dinner was not comped!!! Overall this was the worst experience i have ever had at a restaurant and will never go to a Denny's again! also the bathrooms were nasty!!1 looked like they hadnt been cleaned in days!!!! read more
