    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.

    This food was not good at all. Eggs not cooked, food tasted like old grease was used, and the restaurant is dirty. Skip this place!

    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.

    The Ranch Kitchen at Harris Ranch is a solid stop if you're traveling through the area. The food…read morewas good, the portions were satisfying, and the whole place has a laid-back ranch atmosphere that fits the location perfectly. One of the coolest parts was seeing meats being smoked outside. It adds to the experience and lets you know they're serious about their meat. If you're passing through and aren't staying at the resort, it's definitely worth pulling off the freeway for a meal. It's a nice pit stop with good food, welcoming service, and authentic ranch-style vibes.

    Restaurant Review:…read more Service is not great. It took us about 15 mins to get water from another person (not our waitress) and a total of 20 mins to get our order taken. We were not in a hurry but our section we saw others seated after in a different section and they got their food more smoothly. The section had larger tables but more communication from the person handling our table would have gone a long wait. From the point being seated, it took an hour to get our meal. We got no dinners rolls and our soup came with our meal. At the point of ordering we asked if the soup could be up-charged from cup to bowl and we were told yes. They instead charge us full price of a bowl instead of it being an up-charge (4 dollars vs 10). This should have been upfront and communicated. Disappointing experience and lot of the staffers were just chit chatting by the coffee station. Food for two adults and kids over 100 dollars was not worth it. We will not be returning. This is not the first time this experience has happened.

    We stopped at the McDonald's in Coalinga, CA and ordered through the app. I'll give credit where…read moreit's due -- the app was easy to use and made ordering simple. That part worked smoothly. Our food actually came out pretty decent. It was hot, tasted fresh, and was put together better than I expected considering how busy it was. The kitchen seemed to be holding it together. But the front of the store? That was rough. The dining area looked like it had been hit by a hurricane. Tables weren't cleaned, trash was building up, and the straw/soda station was sticky and messy. There were a lot of people standing around trying to order. The manager was loudly telling customers they wouldn't be served for a while and should just use the kiosks. That didn't exactly calm the crowd. There was confusion, frustration, and a pretty tense atmosphere overall. Bottom line -- good food and an easy app experience, but the front-of-house operations and cleanliness need serious attention. With better organization and some basic cleaning, this place could be a lot better.

    We stopped at this McDonald's because we knew our kids would enjoy it. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience wasn't very good. When we walked in, things seemed fine at first, but the table we chose was sticky and hadn't been cleaned properly. We also used the restroom, and it was dirty. It would be nice if the staff checked and cleaned the restrooms every hour or so. When our food came out, they forgot one of the Happy Meals, so we had to wait and try to get someone's attention. It seemed like the employees could hear us, but they ignored us for a while before helping. Once we finally sat down to eat, the fries were overcooked, and the sandwich buns looked stale or different than usual. Overall, the food quality and cleanliness were disappointing. I hope this location improves its cleanliness, pays closer attention to orders, and provides better customer service in the future.
