Located within walking distance from the Gilroy Outlets. Food is mediocre but what can you expect from Denny's. Convenience and practicality is worth 3 stars. read more

This place sucks, my waiter was speaking like if he had bad breath and didnt want us to smell it. He sat a couple in a booth for like five people and I didn't know if he didn't know how to speak English or if he just didn't want to take our order. Not to mention they had no soup of the day or any soup. They also didn't have broccoli as a side and figured it be okay to load the damn skillet with more rock hard potatoes . Worse thing? The skillet handle mitt was atrocious!!!! I don't know if that was mold or a whole other life form forming. Worse place by far!! I was going to invite my friend but he didn't do anything to deserve this. Take your wife to McDonald's for better service, she's probably have a better time at the DMV. The last and final straw was that the waiter gave us our bill while we were still eating. read more

We like to eat at Denny's from time to time. This time, the men's toilet was contaminated. We remarked to the waitress but while eating at Denny's restaurant no one came to clean! When we arrived there was one jam unit and we had to ask for more. read more

Worst customer service ever!...no eye contact and she threw our straws on the table, took the water out of my hand without telling me, to go refill it, which was unexpected, our waitress name was Renee, also the fresh veggies were not very "fresh" read more

Denny's - "Fresh Veggies" - American Near Me - Gilroy, California

100% irritated with this particular Denny's in Gilroy. I ordered the food online for curbside pickup. I specifically chose curbside because I do not have a mask. 5 mins after I place the order, I get a call from Denny's letting me know they didn't have vanilla ice cream and asked what my next choice was. I specifically said strawberry. Super friendly on the phone. I even let her know that I was here, and she said to give her a few mins. Okay yeah no problem. Thanks for letting me know about the ice cream. 20-30 mins goes by and I notice cars around me are getting their food and leaving. So I go inside and let the lady know I'm here for a pickup. She said something like it's been ready. Oh really? I ordered curbside pickup and it's just sitting around on the counter? Bagged up and pretty ? Yes. Under heaters ? No. Let me ask you something, do you like eating fries after 30 mins sitting inside a container? No. That's disgusting. So I asked how long was it ready for? And she said a FEW MINS after we got off the phone. Are you serious? And she retrieved my "strawberry" milkshake from the bottom of the freezer. That's even more disgusting. When I was asking her questions she walked away and mumbled under her breath "have a good night." My milkshake was chocolate and I HATE chocolate just like I HATE her attitude. It's ridiculous I had to wait for my food when I specifically put curbside. Denny's was not that busy and it's irritating how she just brushed me off. I would not recommend going there because they don't understand hospitality AT ALL. My food ended up being cold and nasty and my pancakes didn't even come with syrup. Super lazy Denny's. Really disappointed ‍ read more

This is a Denny's. That automatically implies a few downsides: 1. The food will not be incredible. 2. The vibe will not be super classy. 3. There will be a claw-grab arcade game in the waiting area. However, this is a Denny's. That also automatically implies a few UPsides: 1. The food will be pretty good. 2. The prices will be great. 3. There will be a claw-grab arcade game in the waiting area. read more

Usually when we go through Gilroy, we'll eat at In N Out. On this visit though, we decided to go to Denny's Restaurant instead. I ordered the Grand Slam breakfast where you can build your own Grand Slam. They give you a choice of 4 items from which to choose. I chose two buttermilk pancakes, two slices of bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. It was a good filling breakfast that really hit the spot. I finished everything, and I did not eat again til dinner time! At pretty much any Dennys location, the food tastes just fine and the prices are very affordable. This branch was all of that plus they gave me good service. No complaints from me. read more

I'm not really sure what to say other than I clearly get to go to all the fancy places when I am at my parents' ranch. I'll start with the good. 1. I'm pregnant, and coming here made me feel very skinny 2. We were seated quickly The not so good. 1. I won't bother describing the food, you know you will get a plate of grease no matter what. 2. They give kids (we had my nephew) something called a D-fusion Mystery pack that you are supposed to add to your drink and "watch the magic". Basically it is a little packet of flavorless chemicals that you can give to your child to put in their drink and it turns it a different color. Flavorless. Chemicals. For your child's drink. read more

Waited for 25 minutes right now for a table. Wasn't even busy. It was 9:15 pm on a Sunday. Left cause we never got a 5 top table. Unbelievable!! Don't waste your time. Denny's corporate office needs to look into this franchise!! Awful management!! read more

I love Lenny's breakfast, so hate me~ The service can be spotty & whatnot but whatever, this isn't a fancy schmancy place either. The breakfast & lunch sandwiches are amazing & always consistent. Me thinks yes. read more

The serves at this denny's always sucks. Ive come in a couple times and had to leave because they refuse to serve my group. People have walked in after us and they serve them first terrible service. I went there today they took an hour to give us or food and when we finally got it it was cold things where hard and burned. Save youraelf time don't go to this location it sucks read more

This is probably the worst experience we have had. Wait time and seating. We were told that the wait time would be 5 but turned out to be ab ok it 20 minutes . There was a party of 2 ahead of us. However the host seated some random person instead of us parties who were waiting despite checking in ! He had no clue on what's going on and when we asked him he said he will seat us in a bit and left Missing ingredients The restaurant was out of basic ingredients like milk, bananas, bleuberries,cheddar and at least another 8. The host showed us a big list of run out ingredients as soon as we were seated. So any milk shakes and more than a few items couldn't be made!!! read more

Got our food fast. Service was friendly. Food was delicious! I don't get why reviews are no good. Def a 5 star experience! read more

My family and I picked up an online order this afternoon. Since was our 1st time online ordering, my family members made the mistake of thinking some of their food was missing. I called in to the restaurant and had a young lady answer my questions. She didn't have the nicest method of answering however she got the information across and we were able to work out the misunderstanding, which I really appreciated. The food was delicious and we will definitely be returning. read more

First of the all the waitress got my order wrong and she cut me off when I was ordering then my frys were supper old then she don't bother to give me a refill then we didn't get no napkins the she passed by I don't know how many times an yet she couldn't bother to ask if I needed anything knowing Dam well I was drinking my baby's drink like really to be honest with you I will never go there ago there agin the food was trash a super small portion but yet they will charge .... To be honest with I could just went to McDonald's ..... read more

Last night after a Varsity football game we made the trek over the hill from Watsonville to Gilroy and were starving as we didn't eat at the stadium, and I personally hadn't ate since my lunch at 11 am. We've lived in Gilroy for 17 years. It was extremely late to cook some food. We decided to get breakfast so we went to Denny's in Gilroy. It was a HORRIBLE experience.... not that I expected 5 star service and food but come on! It was late (about 11:30 am) and mildly busy, but not too busy that one and sometimes two food servers and the manager were able to hang out at the register (near where sitting) and count their tips. Our server was kind enough, cleaned a booth for us and prompt but right after we ordered our food and got our drinks she set the bill on our table and said she was going on her 30 min lunch and that our food had been ordered and that it would be delivered by another server. We said ok and patiently waited. Well 30 mins later, still no food. We saw other people's food come and go But no one even check on us. In the mean time another family was seated behind us. Our server came back from lunch and still didn't check on us. By this time is was almost 12:30 am and I was about to loose my shit. We came here tired from a full work/ school day, tired from a long drive and a football game very hungry for a quick breakfast bite. The entire time no other server or manager came over or checked on our food. We were getting ready to stand up and leave. Well I did loose my shit lol. I stood up and approached our server and the manager that were talking about tips at the register and I said, 'could you please check on our food, we have been here a really long time'. Well ironically the food was ready and it was hot and he server said, 'sorry the cooks are behind tonight.' Well that is fine but at least fricken tell us so we know!! Sad part is that the family that sat down after our server went to break was sitting there that entire time with no service, drinks or order taken! My husband ordered a grand slam special that comes with two bacon, two sausage, two pancakes and hash brown and look at his bacon!!! At this point we didn't care anymore just scarfed down our food and left. Never again! read more

This review is for the sweetest waitress. Her name tag read Eliza, and she was very kind and helpful. She introduced each of the new sizzlers to us in detail. Aside from her helpfulness, I forgot my wallet and she had picked it up right away to keep it safe for me! Very grateful, thanks so much Eliza! read more

A pretty good Denny's. It's big and the service was fast and friendly. We were seated very quick and after we ordered our food arrived fast and fresh. This is definitely one of the better Denny's. I would definitely return and recommend this to others who are looking for fast, quick and friendly service with good food. read more

Seems like they need better supervisors to work at night because the service after 9pm is the worst . Well that's even if they choose to help you . Ordered online and waited for them to bring out the food and 20 mins went by and no one came out. I finally called the location I was at and no one answered. I had to get off and ask for my order inside and I waited another 10 mins until I finally got my food. read more

We were hungry around 9:30p and walked into Denny's after shopping at the outlets. The host seated us immediately and brought our drinks. The server was super friendly. 1/2 a star was deducted for the food taking a long time and the restaurant was only 1/4 filled with customers. Another 1/2 star deducted for the mozzarella sticks tasting weird... like fake cheese almost. Otherwise, I'm a fan and they were great with us. Thanks Denny's! read more

Went here for a free birthday grand slam. Service wasn't remarkable either way. Food was about as decent as expected. But dude, why was there a dried up piece of lettuce on the handle end of my fork? read more

Let's face it, no Denny's is a "5 star." This one comes fairly close. We have a three year old, so we go here fairly frequently. Food is generally very good, especially by diner standards. Service is usually good too. They can get overburdened because they are right across from the outlets. So if they are short staffed, you just have to be a little patient. Maria, one of the servers, has always been extremely friendly and efficient. She is wonderful with our daughter too. Overall, not a bad place to eat for the price. Better than most Denny's we've been to. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Workers are super slow even when the restaurant was busy. Took an hour and 15 minutes to get my order of 2 Super Slams. Turns out they just left it on a back table and never called it so it was left to get old and cold. I told them I wanted it remade and finally got my order. Got home, they're missing an order of pancakes. Called them up and it took 10 minutes just to reach anyone. They told me they'd refund me the amount but never did. As for the food, it was decent. But sometimes it was either overcooked or undercooked. Will not be going back. read more

Met my family's expectations. Let us down as customers, in 3 areas: greeting us, service by waiter, and "food". All we needed to do was hold the kids over until we could complete our errands, and when they complained about the food, I had to see how bad it was. 2 stars is bad for a restaurant. This is my one star. Have fun with that. read more

Went in last night with the worst experience ever will never go back. Was told there was no clean dishes and the manager was stuck in the office, plates stacked up on the bar, someone spilt drinks behind the cashier area. They didn't do anything about it. I can't believe a restaurant is ran like this. And we waited for ever for our food. I will be going to Corp. with this because this restaurant shouldn't be open. read more

Bathroom clean, tables and booths clean, staff friendly and pretty quick. Our server was Ashley and she did a great job. Food was on the other hand was terrible!!! If not for the great service I would have given this place a rating of just one star. My recommendation? Eat some place else. read more

This is the smallest Denny's ever for the large population of people pouring though the door. Had to wait 20 mins to be seated on a Sunday night. The server was nice but I saw my food sit in the window for roughly 10 minutes before being delivered to me. Why scoop it on the plate if it's going to take so long for the other dinners in the order? It was noticeably not fresh tasting (seemed microwaved). Though they were super busy so we were just happy to get food. An Oreo milkshake made me feel better;) read more

Denny's - Seasonal turkey dinner on the menu right now :) would be fairly yummy if delivered while hot and fresh - American Near Me - Gilroy, California

I must have gone on a great day... While on a mini road trip with my daughter, aunt, & little cousin, my aunt experienced a medical condition which landed her in the ER. I was left having to entertain two 6yr olds. We came to Denny's to eat and to kill a bit of time. We were seated immediately and ordered our food & drinks right away as well. Our server was very nice & attentive & had great interaction with the girls. Our food came out promptly & everything was satisfying. read more

As usual, everyone has a happy Denny's sort of demeanor and they seat rather quickly considering I usually go at that peak dinner hour when the outlet closes and everyone remembers they need to eat. Just okay rating because the food takes forever to go out and they never get my eggs right, over medium. Plus, fries are over done. More of a 2.5 star tbh. read more

First let me say that our server was awesome. All the young ladies working outside to accommodate the covid 19 regulations were working their butts off to get people their food. The manager on the other hand was an idiot! Barking orders at these ladies . Not helping clean off tables. Pretty much just standing around. I didn't catch his name, but it was Monday feb 15th in the morning and we'll let's just say he wasn't being a good manager at all. I left a huge tip for our server and told her we appreciated all her hard work ! read more

The food was average The customer service was really bad. I understand what it means to be the only person taking care of the customers but politeness and professionalism are a must in a service business. We waited a really long time for our food. The only waitress kept ignoring us. We had to go to her and ask for a box; she never came back. Also assuming that customers understand colloquial Spanish is unacceptable. First, Spanish is not my native language, but fine I know the language and I can use it for communication. But when the waitress started using terms native of central america countries I was confused so I asked the meaning. She looked at me as I were an alien. Omigod, never going there again! read more

Whoever is cooking tonight doesn't know the menu, and doesn't know how to cook. They managed to mess up all 4 of our meals. 3 of those meals were no where close to what the menu described them to be. Classics we all know well, didn't have any special requests or substitutions... The woman taking orders and packing up the food for pick up read back my order and it was correct, yet still managed to forgot our salad dressing, tartar sauce, lemons (which we specifically asked for, even though they are things that come with the meals we got), charged us for a salad that we didn't order and charged us for the avocado we didn't get! I wouldn't waste my time to write about it if I thought they cared even one little bit about my family enjoying our dinner, I see no evidence that they did. Our check total was over 65 dollars and we tipped them another 10 because at a glance all packed up, it looked correct. I feel really stupid for trusting this location because I knew they sucked from previous experiences pre covid 19. I guess I just thought they would have done their best to keep the best employees on the schedule and strive to keep their local customers in a time like this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. read more

Fast service, great people and kick butt songs. A great bonus is that they are open late and on holidays!!! The severs are really relax and not pushy. The food is always hot and I always clean the plate because it's just that good:). 5 star rating for sure!( Fatima is a great server ) read more

Poor staff had the whole restaurant was empty and they decided not to serve everyone. It wasn't until we had to make acknowledgement they decided to serve us and then we waited longer!.
