I stopped here one late night as I was staying nearby at the Holiday Inn Express, I drove around and there are not too many places to choose from and I got lucky to see the lights on and went inside and at the time there was only two other couples in there eating and so I sat down and got an iced tea and ordered up my late dinner. The food was prepared quickly and there was just one Lady working the place. When I googled to find a restaurant this place showed closed, but it wasn't. I think some jerk-Off placed it in the system as being closed and it was not and in fact the only restaurant opened at the time. I Highly recommended stopping here to eat. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Corning, California

Should have believed the reviews before visiting, but kids wanted to go here. Food taste was standard Denny's. Service was slow, people started seating themselves after waiting so long. Ambiance was good and clean with TV's at the bar. Chicken Fried Steak breakfast was small, country gravy bland. Everything needed more salt and ketchup. Then again, it's Denny's. The Smell of Godfathers Pizza on the other side of the building in Love's made me wish I had just gotten that instead. read more

Food was good ambiance is okay, service needs some training. Waitress forgot my toast and I had to go find her to remind her

Update to my prior review. Came back today for breakfast. Their chicken fried steak is soggy because they didn't set it to dry after frying it or pat it down with a paper towel to get rid of the excess oil from cooking it. It kinda fell apart as I ate it. Not what I expect from this dish at a sit in restaurant. Two stars off for that. Kinda hard to get this dish wrong if you're a chef like I've been. You just fry it, dry it, and add the sauce. Also, they need to hire more front of house staff. Having one person working the entire dining room makes customers wait longer than they should. Star off for that. And now we're at the overall rating it has on Yelp two stars. My advice to the management would be to invest in your staff. If that means reducing menu items to lower costs then that would be wise if it's possible. Kinda disappointed as this is a 180 from my experience here in the past. read more

When they are short staffed the staff sometimes lose patience with the guests ,I think it is in effect a management issue the wearing down of staff patience is more evident at the peak times often too few servers to accommodate the mealtime rush or only one on duty server at other times predetermined to be slower rush times ,but hit or miss regarding actual customer turnout in the restaurant at those times! read more

I decided to give this dumbfuk place another try. It's been about 2 to 2 and 1/2 years since I gave them my money. Used to pick up doordash orders here, and no other restaurant, did Ibhavent9 repeatedly cancel the order due to them not even having started make it yet. Never had to wait at any other restaurant ever longer more than I did at this particular denny's, usually 20 to 30 minutes and that's not what any doordasher is supposed to have to ever do. I've given them my money twice before and each time they screwed up my order or never even made it. Decided after a two and a half plus year hiatus, they must have improved and actually gotten proper management, but nope! Chose curbside because it's literally an option on their actual website, not through an alternative app or site, on the Denny's freaking website! They even so much as ask you the make model and color of your damned vehicle! Because I have a sprained ankle I decided to choose this option and it was literally the only reason I chose denny's, as there are no other options in this area and I was not going to choose a place where I had to walk on my ankle and risk injuring it even more. Never got a link or number to call and they have no parking spots marked for curbside so I simply parked in front and called their number three freaking times! On the third try they finally answered their damn phone and I told the lady I was waiting for curbside and gave her my name and car color and she said they don't do curbside LOL I laughed and told her it's on their actual Denny's website in addition to my order receipt it says curbside and she blabbed off a couple of words and then hung up. I stayed in my car assuming she would figure it out but no one ever came out. Went inside and stood there for far too long for some level of acknowledgment, and then was finally given my order. No explanation why they offer curbside on their website but they don't do curbside. They are just as stupid as the majority of the people who live in this area. Backwards, uneducated, freaking imbeciles! read more

Ordered online, curbside pick up Whst a joke. They don't offer curbside. I sat outside for 10 minutes after I arrived. No email saying my order was done.

Denny's - Order still says finishing up after I went in. - Diners Near Me - Corning, California

I unfortunately had a very unpleasant time her back in November of last year. I went around 2am after a concert and got the chicken strips and other fried food. Unfortunately the next day I woke up with food poisoning. Not sure if they just leave there food out during late nights or what but this has ruined dennys for me unfortunately. read more

We've enjoyed a lifetime of Denny's, for a restaurant of it's type. Our complaint is related to Corporate than with any franchise. The Country Fried Steak was $17.99 plus a .50 egg surcharge. The Grand Slam was $15.19, plus the .50 egg surcharge. Really...I mean really, just not worth the price at all. But it gets worse....the Country Fried "Steak"......is a "mystery meat" that is bad, really bad. It doesn't even come close to the other types of "mystery meats"....a huge fail there. Nope, never again. And it's a shame too. I expect Denny's days are very limited. read more

I like how Michael S put it- its a Denny's, you either like it or you don't. I agree wholeheartedly. And for me- I like Denny's. You know basically what the menu is before you even go in there. You don't need to worry about what to order since it never changes and you'll always find something. Breakfast all day, coffee all night. It's not the best and we admit that. We don't expect that from a Denny's, especially one that's part of a Loves Truck Stop. Service is slow but kind- very nice- just don't expect anyone rushing to help you. I placed an order over the phone, she told me when to pick it up. I showed up and after waiting in the lobby/cashier line/right across from the gas station restrooms for about 10 minutes, she waved me over and checked me out. Sweetest girls that work there, I was just unsure of if I was waiting in the right place or not since no-one was at the counter and the man rolling utensils just looked over every minutes or so but didn't say a word. My burgers were huge! Like, so big for a Denny's! The salad was typical but missing red onions and I didn't get the side of mayo I requested but hey, whatever. For a to-go, real burger, in the middle of nowhere, Ill take it. Thanks Denny's and girls that helped me! read more

Denny's - Inside loves - Diners Near Me - Corning, California

I've been coming to these truck stops for decades meeting my parents and have eaten in all of them over 30 years. Eaten here at Dennys once 10 years ago. We came in around 10pm on a weeknight. There were a few waiting to be seated and 4 people already seated. We didn't wait more than 3 minutes to be seated. There appeared to be only one waitress who made sure we knew she didn't work on Wednesdays normally. Guess the menu is different that day I ordered the soup ( potato) and grilled cheese on the Senior Menu. The soup was a big bowl and it was pretty darn tasty. My husband ordered eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast. His plate and mine came out 15 minutes after I received my soup. The Cheese on my sandwich was plenty and 3 kinds. The toast on the sourdough was perfect. Problem was the cheese hadn't melted. Not even the slightest. U could say RAW. I nabbed the fast moving waitress and asked her have the cook put it back in the skillet for a few more minutes. My husband never received his toast and his runny eggs were drying up and he needed his toast. 6-7 minutes later the toast and my grilled cheese appear. His toast was perfect and my grilled cheese, still not melted at all. I wasn't waiting for the third time is a charm, I brought it home to grill it myself. Also, coffee is $4 and the cups have shrunk, again. We were told the coffee was fresh so we ordered 2 cups. It was hot, not fresh. We fixed it our way and dealt with it. Our coffee cups were empty pretty much all meal. Again, we flagged her down and got another 1/2 cup each. She ran out but would make more if we wanted her to. The people being seated would likely want some, we were through. We were also told that the numerous minor screw ups were due to the cooks having shift change. Wow, that's a new one. All in all, it wasn't bad but for $40.00 I expect better service. We may come back since we live in the next town. Probably not likely just because during the day and early evening there are so many better places. read more

I think this Denny's here in Corning is a little better than the one we have in Red Bluff. I've even got my free birthday breakfast here! I've stopped here on occasion when traveling the 5 south outta Red Bluff. Breakfast is pretty standard and predictable. I know most people eat breakfast here, but the lunch and dinners aren't bad either. Good burgers here. Service is better here than some Denny's I've been to say like in the Bay Area. Easy on and off the freeway. read more

It's a Denny's - you either like it or you don't. I, for one, don't mind it. Reasonably priced, large portions, OK food (if you want great diner food you'd find a Black Bear Diner)... You get the point. This Denny's was a convenient location to stop for brunch and a break on the drive from Marin County to Mt. Shasta. It's attached to a Love's truck stop... quite different from the typical convenience store attached to a gas station down in the Bay Area. For what it's worth, the restrooms (shared with Love's) were clean, and I was pleasantly surprised that the stalls had actual walls and doors, not the regular stalls where you can watch people poop through the inch-wide cracks between the stall wall and the door. It wasn't super busy at this Denny's when we went, though it wasn't completely dead either. The people working here were friendly and the service was prompt, despite other reviews here stating it was slow. We got our order taken right away and the food came out reasonably quickly. Everything in the restaurant was clean and tidy - something you shouldn't take for granted at other Denny's locations. No complaints there. The food itself was fine. Again, when it comes to reviewing a large chain like this where the menu and ingredients are basically identical anywhere in the country, there's not a major point of reviewing the actual food. That said, I had the Double Berry Pancake Breakfast or something like that... about $12 including coffee. Reasonable. The short version: it's a fine Denny's, better than some I've been to, but nothing exceptional. I'd come again if I was passing through the area. read more

As usual the service was fair and the food was below average. The only good thing I can say is the restaurant appeared to be clean. And my wife doesn't like the forks because they have blunt tips and that makes it hard to pick food up. My son likes the pancakes, but then he thinks McDonald's is a fine dining restaurant. read more

This denny's was like a god damn circus show if you ask me. They were out of basically everything, even ice. The waiters were nice and understanding but very forgetful and no one seemed to know what they were doing. It took about an hour for our food to come out and it wasn't even busy. We kept asking for water refills and would have to remind her 2 or 3 times before actually getting more water. Then once we went to pay he didn't seem to know what he was doing either and almost overcharged us $20 extra. Overall, very poor service and food wasn't that great either. read more

My husband and I stopped at Denny's for an early breakfast while traveling. It was a Monday and a holiday. It wasn't crowded so no waiting. We shared a Moons Over My Hammy breakfast sandwich and it was GOOD! Plenty of food for the two us. We ordered it with fries instead of hash browns. The service was great and you can't beat the price when using the AARP discount! The restrooms were clean. The outside could use some cleaning up though. We'll stop here again. read more

This Dennys deserves more credit deserves. I ordered a Togo order. It had everything in the bag and was prepared on time. 5/5 Dennys 3/5 Yelp. read more

Fast. Clean. Friendly Service. Solid Vegan Options. Could Be Better. This Denny's location is nothing special, much like you'd expect at any one of this 'chain's' locations. The menu is corporate, the ingredients taste 'corporate', and the layout is pretty common. With all that said, if you're looking for a Denny's location in NorCal, this is a solid option. If you're looking, it's because you like the menu. The variables that separate Denny's locations (Service, Cleanliness, Preparation) are all solid here. My wife and I came for a little 'breakfast date' after reading that the Brioche Bun and Sautéed Onions for the 'Build-Your-Own-Burger were Vegan. Great choice by the chain for making these Vegan. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and seating in the clean, modern dining room area. Our drink prefer were both take fast and delivered fast...nice start. We did 'Build-Your-Own-Burgers' and we're excited about the dish. When it arrived, it don't disappoint. The sautéed onions were great inside, as was the Bourbon Sauce, the avocado, and the bun (all Vegan). The only kids was on the vegan patty, which although was the standard 'Amy's Veggie Patty' that is hard to screw up, wasn't cooked well. Nonetheless, a decent meal. If you've got an itch for Denny's and are in NorCal for any reason, this location is your best option. read more

So I don't expect much from a Denny's however there are a few things you should expect to get. 1) when you order strawberry crepes that there actually be strawberries on it. 2) eggs should be warm. 3) tortillas chips in nachos be crunchy not soggy from sitting. 4) not have to wait 30 minutes for cold food. read more

all sucked didnt get food for Atleast 2 hours won't be going back agian this place is a s h i t hole

To start my grandson just finished a football game and wanted to go to Denny's afterwards to start off we had to wait for a table and there was only five patrons in there and no clean tables second the food was way below par has been got a quarter of an inch t-bone steak that wasn't worth the $19 that was paid for it the waitress delivered our food and said oh I'm sick and blah blah blah blah blah mistake my husband paid for with dry not worth the money we paid for it almost a $70 ticket and it just sucked all the way around food service the whole nine would not go back here at all ever read more

Had a nice lunch today the food and waitress was very good. The booths of the restaurant were torn and looked terrible it's been that way for a very long time. Not much pride in their appearance it seems. Hope they fix it up soon read more

Went to the Corning Denny's because that's my husbands favorite breakfast place. first of all, the entryway floor was covered with dirt and grease. when we finally got to our booth, the separating wall between our booth and the next one was filthy, covered in snot. Waitress was good however, and doing the best she could. Dennys! Please hire a cleaning crew. read more

This is your straight up Denny's experience. The restaurant was clean, the food decent and the coffee hot...and all of this at 4 am. They even have a more-than-edible gluten free English muffin. If it's early or late and you're hungry in Corning, Denny's is a solid choice. If it's normal hours, I'd suggest the taco truck near the truck stop (Amigos de Acapulco). read more

There were 5 tables seated. Two parties of 6. Plenty of tables where people could be seated. They limited to just the front area. They must have turned away so much business in the five minutes i was there. If this is a policy of Denny's then i understand but if this was because the employees don't feel like working then it might be time to quit. It's a stop off with lots of cars full of people coming through. This can't be the expectation at this location. read more

Stopped in for Breakfast at 5 am and was greeted by Monica at the front door great first impression! She was my server, upbeat and professional. I hadn't been to this Denny's and was pleasantly surprised. Great breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausage and fluffy pancakes were served promptly and hot. Very tasty. I wasn't rushed and enjoyed my meal and Monica's friendly service. Nice job Corning Denny's! read more

Service was slow but I wouldn't change it for ANYTHING! The girls were SO RECEPTIVE & SUPPORTIVE for my Autism girl!!! Food served hot and her hot cocoa was p e r f e c t.

Being from Oregon I have a glorious grasp on the Denny's experience. Oregonians love their Denny's and are not afraid to scream and throw a tantrum if a particular Denny's does not meet their standards. Often you will see a full parking lot at one Denny's and a town just down the road with a empty Denny's parking lot. Denny's food is Denny's food. No more, no less. You simply look for it to be cooked well. Hot food hot, cold food cold, and no hair or bugs. You usually slip back again for the "Moons Over My Hammy" sandwich and pray that someday they will bring back that calorie buster beast of a breakfast sandwich "The Dagwood". Denny's is American fair. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I have loved many a Denny's. Good food, decent prices, and a causally friendly staff. This Denny's not so much. This Denny's has a disoriented feel. Staff seemed confused and befuddled. Our waitress, Tammy was almost running to take care of us and her other patrons. She was friendly and personable. The restaurant was full enough for me to assume that they had a bus boy on staff, but they apparently did not. The hostess that helped seemed lost and confused, the manager did as well. They could not figure out how to process my check. We ordered some potato hashbrown bacon cheddar fritter things while we waited for our togo order. Yes, "things", a very strange menu item and not appetizing. Our waitress noticed that a few were completely smashed and messy so she had the cooks make us new ones. The only special thing about this Denny's was our waitress, Tammy, and she deserves those yelp stars. I am not sure I have ever seen a waitress work so hard with so many other slow, seeming lost employees wandering about. I would not go back unless she was our waitress and the Jack in the Box down the street had blown up leaving us with no other choice. read more

The food and inside of the actual restaurant is fine. It's a Denny's I don't expect fine dinning quality but for the love of god they need a person to clean the parking lot and to just re freaking do the bathrooms.. Every time I've been here the parking lot is just gross, trash everywhere, un eaten food attracting an immense amount of flies that basically live and reproduce on the left over food. And the bathrooms are so nasty and I mean pretty much port potty's. They smell, they're always dirty. It's just gross. read more

We were super hungry in our way to Oregon we stop by to take a lunch and the lady didn't allow us to write our name on the wait list because we're working only 2 lady's it's ridiculous how all the people trying to get a lunch and be reject because they didn't have enough people to work on this case it's better to close the restaurant until you hire enough people to work we were at least 20 costumers at the same time and the lady told everyone to leave because they can take more orders at the moment 11 am read more

Dennys are about the same: same menu prepared by formula in a kitchen with trained staff and delivered by waitresses and waiters who usually do their best. We have a favorite place in Patterson, California but we were in Corning California and it was after 10 and we needed food and it was across the street from our hotel ... in a truck stop. Service was efficient from a guy who had a late evening shift. Our food came from a familiar menu. It met standards we expect. Service was efficient: he wasn't excited to serve us but took our order, delivered our order and took our money with minimum effort from all concerned. It was the kind of Dennys my father liked when he was my age. I don't love it but respect the chain and the services they provide and I want. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday with Grandkids & it was packed! Surprised to have fast service in seating & ordering!

A lot of food & all great! Grandpa had Chicken Fried Steak Skillet .. Delicious! We all tried each other's orders and agree all the food was really good, hot and fresh! Thank you Dolce (our server) for great & friendly service, too ;) read more

I enjoyed myself a nice country fried steak and iced tea. My server Vala was very kind and made sure I was taken care of. When she brought me a refill for my iced tea, she didn't bring me just another iced tea, but she gave me a whole pitcher of more iced tea! That was great. I highly recommend downloading the Denny's app, it will give you nice rewards and coupons. I will definitely be back next time I stop at this Love's. read more

Since when do u pre pay and pre tip at a restuarant before getting serviced?! What if the food is crap or if u are going to tip them cash and they spit in your food thinking u ddnt tip. And why do the plates cost more here? And u don't get a receipt,, they keep it.. Plus u have to go inside to order, not them come to u, what am I tipping for? Just setting my plate down. Ddnt even ask if I needed anything else. They don't want corona risk but they have no problem sitting u outside on the curb with dirt, oil, grease and bird poop all around u. The other dennys I went to it was dined in and not outside, listening to the homeless guy yelling randomly and flies flying around everywhere. I will not recommend this place at all. Corporate should investigate this place. read more
