Great food, servers can be very slow. Takes 5-25 minutes for your food to be taken to your table, even before COVID.

our host sebastian was very helpful and welcoming there were 2 parties 10+ ahead of us and he was able to get us seated quickly still. our server was super nice and our food came out fast. great dennys will definitely be back soon! read more

We had a very bad experience, we were hoping to have a nice dinner and multiple items we wanted from the menu weren't available such as all the selections of soda, no sauces and what we did order they messed up and we had to ask to be remade. Not only did they not have certain stuff they took forever to even help us out even though it was a slow night. I love the Denny's franchise but this location has been the worst customer service by far. read more

If there were 0 stars it would be 0. The wait was at least 20min, while there was plenty of open chairs and tables. Now to order the waitress who was very kind said "bad news we have no sodas or milk the only thing to drink is water, and orange juice". No one really acknowledge us for a long while.. and we are still waiting for our food.. after arriving here about 45min ago... read more

Good food, good service. Everything in tip top shape from me. Our waitress was nice. There wasn't a long wait at all.

Cold food, cold coffee, slow service. Don't waste your money. Go to McDonald's and just order the big breakfast, it costs less and it would be warmer than Denny's food and coffee. read more

Imagine being 60-years-old, an avid American traveler, having stopped in Denny's across America for about 50-years, and having the absolute worst breakfast ever. That was me this morning at this Denny's. C'mon, people, have a tad bit of pride in your work! read more

This place is the worst. Service is beyond bad. My wife ordered a Cobb salad and was given lettuce and tomatoes. She asked the waitress where the rest of it was, and the waitress brought her a plate with a couple of slices of hard boiled eggs. Unbelievable. If I could give negative stars, I would. read more

2 stars is generous. I got what you expect from Denny's. Ordered online, waited 15min because they said they didn't have turkey bacon. Got my order and there was turkey bacon in there. Missing bacon cheddar bites. Tried the Dulce de Leche crunch with no crunch on top at all, it was just pancakes and carmel. Never order online unless its something basic. Staff always seem new and clueless but it's not the end of the world. Still ate the food. read more

At the host stand, they show a big sign that says "OUR PLEDGE TO YOU: We don't just believe in guest service and hospitality, we stand behind it. These aren't just words, they're our commitment to you." PFFT YEAH RIGHT my mom and I were standing in the front waiting to be helped while this lady (edit: Her nametag says Lupe, so I assume that's her name) kept laughing and joking with her coworkers glancing at us saying "I'll be right with you." She then proceeded to go to a customer's table and sat there chatting with him. More people started coming in, while she was walking by barely acknowledging any of us. I'm a server at a restaurant, I know how it can get busy and all of that but this honestly wasn't the case at all. It was dead here. We finally got walked to a table by someone else and was sat, but the tables weren't even wiped and hash brown bits were still on the booths. Even while I'm writing this review right now, the family in front of me are staring at the servers waving their arms trying to get at least one person's attention... Overall, I was bothered by that lady the most, but our server, Joshua, was fine... I've been to plenty of Denny's and know that I shouldn't expect much, but oh boy this place was the worst so far :( read more

Went in on a Saturday about 20 people total in the place, got seated pretty quick and served our drinks,ordered and waited for a while after 30 minutes got told out food would be made shortly as the people are new, this is the same thing I was told last week when coming in and waiting an extremely long time, so we wait a little longer and a table that was seated after up asks for the food they ordered and was told the kitchen was backed up after 40 minutes of waiting after being told our food would be coming up shortly our food order was wrong and was mildly warm. Our server ended up disappearing and never returning to our table after telling us it would be coming up shortly. Highly recommend not coming been going downhill for some time now. read more

Stoped here on my way to San Francisco for breakfast...will not do it again! Waited for almost 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge us at our table and waited another 30 minutes for my food...the cups and silverware were super dirty and they had food still stuck to it!!! read more

When you see this Denny's, just keep on driving. The restaurant is filthy, the service is painfully slow, and the food is questionable. The table they sat us down to had already been bussed but not cleaned. They gave it a half assed wipe down as we were sitting there. We actually finished cleaning it ourselves. Don't even think about using the restroom if your vaccines aren't up to date. read more

Went here late Sunday night, unacknowledged when looked at by woman MANAGER (unsure of her name)...she looked at us 3 times and looked the other way then walked away. THEN waited 30 MINS when there was only 3 seated booths that had 2-3 people that already had their food?! The ONLY server there saw us and said sorry for the wait and seated us when she was just gossiping and making remarks back and forth with the manager here. At one point, the manager was helping us out then immediately left and didn't come back. I heard the server saying SO loud, "what the hell, okay?! I'm trying to help ALL these people out and you just run and sit in the back?!" Literally only 3 tables with 2 people or so at them. Other people were waiting for them on small things like straws or syrup...NOT HARD TO GRAB! They mostly kept running around in circles from the back of the kitchen to the front and yelled at each other a lot. It made everyone extremely uncomfortable. What made me irritated is that they then started to joke around while my tables food was getting cold waiting to be served! The server said to the manager: "Help me out here so you can try to get some tips!! Aha" No, my food came really cold. (I'm not gonna lie, the cooks did well with making the food) Just poor management, no professionalism and no organization. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN! read more

Ordered online. Arrived early, saw my food was there and told one of the waitresses. She said oh, I'll get it for you. Helped a bunch of other people first. Still waited. Asked again... still waited. Finally got my food and it was wrong. They forgot fries on one order and gave me the wrong kind of fries on the other. The sandwich was soggy and falling apart. Burger was cold. I told them I didn't want the food because it was unacceptable. The one waitress Melissa was being rude to all the customers and said you'll just have to wait for the manager. Her idea of customer service is to just ignore the customer. She just rolled her eyes at me. She shouldn't work with people if she can't handle the pressure. She was treating others very bad. Will never eat at this Denny again. They wouldn't tell me when the manager would be back. They won't give me my refund. I will not rest on the matter. read more

Worst place ever. The waitress kept getting our order wrong. My sons order was forgotten. It took 15 minutes for our drinks. I will not be going back. And I didnt gil. It was the waitresses fault and the cooks. read more

This is the worst Denny's I've ever been to. The service is bad and the restaurant was so dirty. They tried to seat us at a table that was smothered in crumbs, the seats were wet, and there were extra chairs everywhere in the way. Our order was wrong and after ordering chicken strips, I was given 2 pieces. That's it, just two chicken strips. The cups were also still dirty. If I could give 0 stars, I would. read more

I know it may not be fair being the only review in here and having such a strong opinion, but this was the only time in the past decade that I refused to leave a tip - to put it in words: it sucked ass. One day a friend of mine and I decided to go outlet shopping in Gilroy and since the two of us were (and still ARE) unfamiliar with the area, we just stopped at the closest place to the mall. It was dead empty. I guess we were a little on the early side for dinner. Yet the waiter arrived prompt and took our orders. I had the plain HAMburger and got: a cheeseburger. Not willing (or able) to eat it, I had the waiter return it who smiled at me and said "oh, now not?" (uhm, I did not change my mind, I just did not order it) Quite rude. And when he brought it back I still had bits of cheese on the meat and told him that I did NOT order a burger with cheese. So he took it back and brought me a new one. Probably with spit on it. Don't matter, it took so long my friend was done, I was fed up and we left - swearing to never return. read more

Greater and a waiter were nice even though they were under staff but once I got my order it was wrong and Rosa told cook that she didn't know if I had told the waiter specifically what I ordered and she gave attitude and didn't even give me my change with a great attitude just put it on the table no thank you nothing read more

Fast service and good food go hand in hand. We were lucky and got a table in 15 minutes despite the crowd. They have another section closed but it appears that they don't have adequate staff to fill the need. read more

Under new owners... Close down when they want and flat out lie to customers. They tell you that they are renovating when actually they have made all of the staff to quit. Even when they are open they run a skeleton crew, so it takes forever to get them to take your order.... I recommend you just go to the Morgan Hill location read more

This place must be a joke. I thought I was on a tv show. There were only 2 cooks and about 9 waitresses. The waitresses were all hanging out and talking to each other. They didn't care about their customers. The cooks were struggling to keep up with their orders. The restaurant was half empty because there was supposed to be 4 cooks but only 2 showed up. So the hostess was not seating the 40 or so customers that were waiting in the waiting area and walking in and leaving because the wait was 30 min to 1 hour. I saw an order come out from the kitchen that looked like my order. So I watched it for 20 minutes to see whose it would be. In that 20 minutes only one families order came out. The rest of the customer still waited. After that 20 minutes, one of the waitresses saw that order and asked the cooks to put it in a box to go (I had ordered to go because is was late for work). She then put the box in a bag and have it to me. I opened the bag and box in front of her and everyone else waiting and all the waitresses and felt the turkey meat....not good at all. I was not putting that in my mouth. Felt the fries. Horrible. I told her I wanted my money back and I would never return. She called the manager. Manager came out of her office and told the waitress not to worry. It's ok. It's not your fault. I got my money back. But she first offered to replace the food and she would personally go make it herself. I old her I just wanted my money back. If she knew how to cook, why wasn't she helping in the kitchen?!?! Step up! You're the manager! And tell your employees to WORK! Horrible experience. Thanks Denny's. read more

Waited 20 minutes to be sat. Then waited 20 minutes to be acknowledged. No drinks or place settings while we waited. Once our waiter came by and acknowledged us he promptly took the order of the table who came after us. I don't expect much from a Denny's but this was bad. read more

The bacon in the omelet was not cooked, I sent it back, got eggs and hashbrowns with bacon separate. The bacon was stone cold and greasy from sitting on the grill. If you get your food in two minutes probably the cook doesn't give a shit or needs some training. read more

Hate to give a 1 start review. To be honest this is for the service not the food since I didn't get to try the food. Walked in party of 2 waited like 20 minutes which understood. We were taken in and another party after us of 4 was take then another party after. The lady waterers went the table of four before us. So we thought may be the table devised for waiters then she skipped us and went to the other table. Then she cane to us. That's when I decided to leave. Poor service spend like 40 minutes on when we passed in n out for the long line. read more

This is the worst Dennys I've been to. The server was rude (Adriel H) and blame everything on the cook. No team work at all. Food was cold once it get to our table and they had the wrong order:( Do not come to this Location. Worst service ever. read more

The restaurant is empty. There are more then 10 parties are waiting to be seated. Why why why? Are the waitresses/waiters on strike or something. I feel like there are more workers than the customers. Cannot go somewhere else coz thxgivings night. :( read more

Terrible service first of all they seated us quickly but we waited an hour to get our food our drinks took forever as well , they were taking priority of the white customers over us my dad was very angry and he let the staff know of this to witch they offered a discount which my dad said it's not about the money it's about customer service, this is the first time ever that we didn't leave a tip and we always leave a good tip 15+ also when we would ask for more coffee they totally forgot about us and wouldn't bring it we had to ask more than once for our drink and food!!! read more

Worst service possible! I went with my coworkers, and it took them an hour to seat us and the place was almost empty. When we got to the table the two men got our drinks pretty fast, but then it took 39 minutes for someone to get our order, and then it took about another hour to get cold food(which meant that they had it sitting there for a long time) . We asked for the check and that took another 30 minutes which was ridiculous. We then got to the cashier and the manger there named Rosa gave us all attitude and was not very helpful, her managing skills was the worst I've ever seen and honestly she should get replaced, with someone that isn't as rude to her customers and her employees! read more

Well, maybe it's just the late staff, or I just got in from a long flight, or there was a cluster of teens making a mess of a situation, but this wasn't the best experience I've had at a Denny's. The staff wasn't rude but wasn't very friendly either. It was as if they were distracted or had something better to do. The food was mediocre but some orders didn't arrive at the same time. It was open 24 hours which is why we picked the place. It filled out belly on the way home. Meh. read more

Normally I would give this dennys a 5 but they have this little gay waiter (which of course I have nothing against but he wasn't wearing a name tag) every time we get him he forgets stuff and he doesn't check on your table and no personality to boot I will always make sure I don't sit in his section again read more

Got seated 20 min pass by we kept waiting for a waitress to take our order watching how other people whom got there after us getting helped first. I had to turn and asked a waitress to take our order and gave me attitude for doing so read more

A good place to eat if you're not gluten intolerant. Not really much for me to eat here but eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, and bacon. The omelets are okay. This place is pretty casual and the employees are kind. It's near a lot of hotels that aren't expensive. Plates, tables and silverware are clean. Didn't wait a long time for food. We were seated in a dark corner when there were other tables availabe in more bright places. I thought that was kinda weird. read more

Horrible service! After waiting one hour for food the lady with her nice blue hair said she forgot to place our order. Never again! Try Morgan Hill location instead, you'll see the difference. read more

The food is good is one of my favorites, but the restroom cleaning sucks really sucks is like somebody is dead inside not even wanted to go inside they have to improve that read more

No coffee refill. No waitress eye contact. Hash browns cold & undercooked. No water. Couldn't get anyone's attention, although i didn't yell or walk up to the counter. Worst dining experience ever. read more

When we got there the hostess was very chipper and got us seated right away. The waitress did not have the same enthusiasm, but she was nice. She took our orders right away and got our food to us pretty quickly. I ordered the french toast with over easy eggs and hash browns with a side of pancake puppies. The french toast was a little dry and probably wouldn't have been good if I didn't smother it in syrup. I discovered pancake puppies!! They are delicious! They are blueberry and white chocolate chip pancakes rolled into a ball and deep friend and served with syrup. It reminded me of a funnel cake. You can get 6 of them for 2 dollars. Denny's always has pretty cheap prices, but sometimes you get what you pay for. read more

Customer service was nonexistent, the food was not that great compared to other Denny's I've been to. The portions were so little which is weird because I usually get a pretty good amount. Our waitress didn't seem to care for our table so her coworker took over (AND NO SHE WASNT ON A BREAK OR ANYTHING BECAUSE I SAW HER STANDING AROUND STARING AT US) and also, IT WAS 2AM & THE PLACE WAS EMPTY EXCEPT OUR TABLE. Smh. Get it together. read more

imma rate this dennys 5 star cuz the servers are accommodating and on it when it comes to serving food and they cute too

Went to your website. Why is there no prices. Pretty lame. I needed to calculate my meal prior to my visit so you don't end up embarrassed in front of everyone. read more
