Came just after the breakfast rush on a Sunday and there was only a 10 minute wait. We were quickly greeted by our server,Samira. The services by Samira was the best I've had, she was extremely knowledgeable with the menu. She checked in the table and made sure everything came out correctly. The Carmel banana pancakes were so amazing, highly recommend. The other breakfast items like eggs and hash browns were standard. Overall, had an amazing services and the best pancakes! read more

Had a wonderful meal here today! Our hostess, Jazmine, was absolutely amazing from the moment we walked in. She not only sat us quickly but also got our orders started and was incredibly friendly throughout. She made a point to check on my mom and me several times to ensure we had everything we needed. Great service makes such a difference--thanks, Jazmine!" read more

Dennys was fine. We stopped by here on a drive. It had been years since I had visited the Gilroy location. Went on a Friday Night. They were busy. The 2 wait staff were working hard, but they probably could use one or more hands, so that our waiter could check in with us sooner. All the food was cooked well. So no issues there. Tbone steak was cooked fine. Just missing a little flavor. But it's the same at all Denny's I've been to. read more

Out of all the Denny's near I loved this one something about the pancakes is way better than any other place I go to. But this past weekend I went with my parents and son they got served first they ate and they were practically almost done. We kept asking the waiter where was my food he kept saying "let me go check on that" asked 3 times and nothing he brought it out when everyone was done eating. I refused the food and walked out because that wasn't right. I didn't want to be that person but I didn't even want to eat anymore because of how frustrated I was. Hopefully next time we go we get better service. In the picture you can see everyone was done eating and they brought it out. read more

I paid with cash I was going to tip but the fact that she didn't give me my correct change and was over a dollar short & shrugged as she walked away... not to mention when she was taking my order she was eating a pancake & covering her mouth taking to me while chewing her food ... She's a pregnant woman but she should eat in the back not at the register out front. Also bothered me that she ate the pancake with her hands & grabbed my cash during yuck . I lost my appetite & makes me feel like I can't even trust the food here. Is it so hard for Dennys to hire decently mannered people? read more

Denny's - Didn't give me correct change she owes me so no tip for disrespect - American Near Me - Gilroy, California

If you enjoy sitting in silence, staring at sticky tables, and wondering if you've suddenly become invisible, this is the place for you. We were seated, given menus, and then treated to 25 minutes of absolutely nothing. No water, no greeting, not even the fake "I'll be right with you." There were only four other tables in the entire restaurant, yet the staff acted like serving anyone was a rare and dangerous concept. They'd peek out from the back, look around like deer in headlights, then vanish again. No one had food. Not one single table. And this isn't a rare fluke. This is just how this place operates. It's almost impressive how consistent they are at being terrible. The Morgan Hill Denny's could run circles around this place with half the staff and twice the customers. If you value your time, your patience, or your sanity, skip this disaster entirely and go to the Morgan Hill location where they actually serve customers instead of pretending they don't exist. read more

Rebecca was great. We were sat very quickly and didn't have to wait too long for our food.

Came to Denny's for dinner and it was good service and food. I came with my family and we had a good time read more

So my husband ordered for pick up on Mothers Day breakfast for myself our son himself and our daughter and as I was eating my pancakes I noticed something sticking out the side and it was plastic so it's kind of concerning that on days like this they are so rushed that things are falling into the food and it's not being noticed read more

Updated 1/28/25 Gave them another chance, way more better service...servers were very friendly and greeted you nicely upon arrival... customer experience was great!! read more

Yikes, what a disappointment! Stopped in there Friday, 1/9/26, just before 1 pm. The restaurant had a waiting line with about 6 people. Almost all the seats were open but they did not have enough staff to take care of their customers. I wanted to order, to-go, 2 grilled cheese sandwiches with a slice of tomato which I had had before. I finally ended up at the register and it seemed like no one could take a second to place the order and it took 3 impatient, busy people to code it in. I was still hopeful and left a tip when the charge went through. When it came it was one greasy, grilled cheese with a limp slice of bacon on it and about 10 greasy onion rings. It was not very good and the milkshake was almost tasteless. Including the tip, it came to $26. They desperately need to hire some help. read more

I have been to this restaurant a number of times since moving back to Gilroy a couple years back. The service is often hit or miss especially later in the evening...However tonight I went in late and Samantha was my waitress. She was new and after observing her I asked her if she had waitressed before ~ she said it was her first job~ I was immediately impressed! Samantha was pleasant and personable, efficient and professional. I was noted her attention to detail and her dedication to myself and other customers. I have worked in the food industry as a waitress as well as a manager and now work in the counseling field. Hence, I am usually a bit of a stickler for service...Samantha is great! I will be back to Denny's soon and will request her! Denny's is lucky to have her! I wished more of the servers there were like her ~ the late evening servers have proved to be challenging at times~ I hope Samantha stays on! Great work! read more

Waiter had to come back multiple times to clarify items ordered. Multiple items ordered were not brought to our table, and had to contest the check to get the items not received taken off. Eggs were practically raw on top. read more

My husband and I recently dined at Denny's in Gilroy, CA for the first time and had mixed feelings about the experience. I ordered a sandwich that was good, although the presentation wasn't that great. What I was disappointed with, were the fries; the serving size was small, and it seemed like they were running low on them. Additionally, the ranch sauce was tasteless, which was a letdown. My husband ordered the steak dinner with rice pilaf and broccoli. While the sides were good, the steak itself was tough and lacked seasoning, making it less enjoyable than we had hoped. On a positive note, the service was excellent. The servers were attentive and accommodating, which made our visit more pleasant. However, considering the overall experience and the prices, I think we'll be heading to Black Bear Diner on the other side of the overpass next time. Denny's, there's definitely room for improvement. I will never go back to this location. read more

Randomly dropped in here today with my mom and daughter and met Francisco! He was such a sweetheart and was handling everything by himself really well. He served our table and he was really nice and had an inviting smile. read more

Had a great experience at this location. Since the change of management the service has been much better. Jose and Denise were great at making my dad and I feel well attended and they did good team work getting our waffle and coffee out in a timely manner even tho the restaurant was super busy. Overall great experience and will definitely be back. read more

Our servers were nice, but they were obviously understaffed and we had to ask for syrup, napkins, water, etc. basic things you would expect to be served with your slam. The food was delicious!! My besties pancakes were fluffy and my steak was well cooked. Hire a hostess! Otherwise, great place to eat before you shop at the outlets. read more
