    Came here for dinner with friends, and unfortunately the service was very disappointing. There were only two servers and barely anyone in the restaurant, yet it took about 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. After that, we waited another 35 minutes for our food. What made the experience even more frustrating was seeing our food sitting there while neither server bothered to bring it to our table. Both servers came across as unprofessional and disrespectful throughout our visit. The customer service definitely needs improvement. Sadly, this experience left a bad impression. Our pancakes literally look like there were re heated .

    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.

    Didn't give me correct change she owes me so no tip for disrespect

    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?

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

    Even got the food wrong.

    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.

    RAW T-Bone Steak

    This was horrendous the steak was still mooing at me I felt very sick after since they told me it was safe to eat but it wasn't i don't recommend ordering steak here at all. I feel like they should refund my money but they were too busy to complain I recommend if you want a steak go to a steak house. Also this worker was a being an A hole not wanting to give us the kids eat free meal although we got it before 10 I hope denys fix's this issue since it really got me mad I will never be returning to this horrible establishment.

    Black bear diner never disappoints! We were in town for a week and this was the place that our kids…read moreasked to go back to over and over. We ate here at least 2 maybe 3 times and each meal was consistently delicious with great service. Took a star away because the first time we ate here, I asked for my sausage extra crisp. I noticed he didn't write that down the way he wrote everything else down and the sausage were definitely not cooked the way I asked. The other reason is because the picture of the cinnamon roll French toast on the menu includes icing swirled on top, mine had none. Other than those small things, we thoroughly enjoyed our meals here.

So in all fairness the staff could have been tired or getting ready to shut down. They close at 9 hence why I didn't dine in. I had chicken fried steak with gravy. Sweet potato fries. Coleslaw. Chicken fried steak was good. Easy to cut with plastic cutlery. Fries were good but a bit soggy and lukewarm so it might've been sitting there a good bit. Coleslaw I didn't mind. Would I come back ? Earlier in the day maybe. Not close to closing. But that's part of the problem. It's next to a hotel. So it's expected out of towners like myself will arrive later. But I digress. It's convenient. Its solid. Overall experience feels more Dennys than it does Black Bear.

While the line outside looked intimidating, Alice's system for taking orders before you enter is really efficient. The restaurant is much larger than it looks. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with heating to keep comfy when it gets a little chilly. Alice's serves both breakfast and lunch/dinner. We were craving burgers, so that is exactly what we ordered. Our food came out within 15-20 minutes. My burger was cooked a tad more medium than medium-rare, though I still wholeheartedly enjoyed it. The bun had lots of structure, and the beef patty was nice and juicy. We did order a side of fries, as the burgers come with potato chips by default. Both sides were tasty. I would gladly come back again to try the rest of their menu!

I'm leaving this review because the meal that I just had was terrible. Hoping the owners see this and make adjustments to the ingredients. I had the Redneck Benedict. It advertises applewood smoked bacon, however, underneath the eggs was a crushed pile of bacon bits, and this was no thick, tasty bacon that people are used to when they are promised Applewood smoked bacon. It looked like the thinnest, oiliest, crispy bacon you could imagine, crushed down into tiny bits, with a pile of it placed under the egg. The country gravy was extremely salty, as was the bacon. The country gravy had no true country gravy flavor, and was quite dark for a country gravy, which should usually be some shade of white. The eggs were properly cooked, the biscuit was mediocre, and the rest is history. Go to Alice's, don't order the Redneck Benedict.

The service is excellent and the food was flavorful, hot, fresh... the diner is decorated so cute. It's a 50's theme with 50's music playing and all the decor to match. I'll be back for sure. Delicious and fun.

    BREAKFAST STEAK AND LUNCH BURGER…read more I ate at City Diner twice. The first time was in April before going to the San Jose Fair Downs to bet on horse races. Before going to bet on horseracing I like to order steak for brunch. I ordered New York steak asking the steak to be cooked medium rare. After several bites I noticed the steak was cooked medium. Maybe it's superstition, but if I do not enjoy my steak I tend to lose at the racetracks. That's what happened at City Diner since the steak wasn't cooked to my preference as I lost money at the San Jose Fair Downs that day. I wasn't planning to come back to City Diner soon however i noticed one of the items listed on the burger section of the menu was corned beef burger. I've eaten pastrami burger before, but not corned beef burger. Also I love corned beef. I came back last Saturday for the corned beef burger. For $3 more instead of fries I requested onion rights. There is an abundance of milkshakes at City Diner. I asked my server and he recommended the "Groom", which is a mocha malt as it is his favorite. The "Groom" wasn't too sweet so I was able to finish it. The corned beef burger included slices of bacon. I was worried that the bacon would mask the taste of the corned beef as both bacon and corned beef are cured. I was correct as I couldn't taste the corned beef due to the bacon. Overall I'm glad I came here to eat for lunch however I do not see myself coming to City Diner anytime soon.
