    Chicken tenders and I upgraded to onion rings.
    Sandy S.

    Stopped here on the way to SoCal. Parking was plentiful. Wasn't exactly sure about the seating situation as no one was there to greet me but I took a seat at the counter, no biggie. My food came within five minutes of ordering. It was piping hot and refreshing. Waitress checked on me multiple times and was really chill. Honestly, all the employees I saw interacting with guests and each other were really friendly, like they've been working together for a while and have a good rhythm. I liked seeing that. Bathrooms were a bit untidy but it's also a truck stop--I'm not expecting the Ritz when I walk in, ya know? I would trust this place again if I needed to come back out this way.

    sweet syrup, rather have butter ...

    I was headed down the 5 at Oh dark thirty headed to SoCal and breakfast time was approaching. Checking the GPS of what open at 4:30 am I came up with this Denny's. I give it to Denny's maybe not the best food around, but they come through when you need something to eat at all odd hours and easy freeway access. I pull in and it open! The service was fine and fast. I ordered a standard breakfast with hashbrowns , eggs scrambled, sausage and pancakes instead of my usual toast. I didn't have to wait long and my food arrived. That's a lot of food! I suppose if you were a big truck drivin man, this would be right up your alley! The hashbrowns were most fab. The eggs were eggs and the sausage links were OK. The pancakes ... or flapjacks as they might be call round these parts ... were light and fluffy and I slathered all the butter I could on those bad boys! Needless to say, I wasn't able to eat all that food and non of it really travels that well, so I had to leave some food on the plate. I'm happy Denny's was right here of the freeway and easy back on my way! I did get some coffee to go and that was good to keep the drive awake!

    This is the second time I've eaten here and it's the only Denny's I've been to in recent memory. Once was for breakfast and I had the Fit Slam which was surprisingly good. I found myself here again but this time at 11pm so I thought I'd try dinner. The service was great maybe because the place was empty, but during a busy breakfast here it was just as good so they are two for two for me. It seems like a new Denny's the decor feels mid century modern meets diner and cafeteria. I like the booths and the counter but the tables are meh. I had a sirloin steak dinner which comes with two sides and garlic bread they call dinner bread all for $15.99. I was expecting to be disappointed and I was shocked at the quality of the steak and the flavors. I think garlic butter was involved. Cooked to perfection a couple chewy bites in there but nothing grizzly. So delicious some bites a little salty for my taste but I'm low sodium. I had the country style potatoes which are like deep fried and spiced and salted to perfection. Added a little Cholula to them and it was epic. The other side was a vegetable medley which I was expecting to be like frozen veggies that were steamed. Probably were frozen but I couldn't tell they were grilled up with onions and maybe butter and garlic and some spices. A nice mix of broccoli and bell peppers and zucchini and onions and carrots. I will postscript this with I haven't eaten in 6 hours and it was just nice to get out of the car for a while and relax in a peaceful restaurant with some warm good food.

    Good customer service great food and not much of a wait . Perfect place to stop and get breakfast when passing by on your travels. Food was delicious and did not dig a whole in my wallet and first Dennys I been in that plays all Latin music. I ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs with bacon and portion size was perfect and so delicious.

    It just felt dirty and sticky. The servers were nice, food wasn't bad, but the windows were filthy. I wouldn't stop there again.

    I didn't realize the pea soup was vegan. It was smoky and flavorful…read more My meatloaf plate was pretty good. I think I liked the fried chicken a little better. My plate had a Fresh side of veggies and homemade gravy. Large portions, I couldn't finish my food. Cute souvenir shop, you can even buy cans of Andersen pea soup. Atom you would have liked the capybara or Xololotl plushy.

    With as many signs on the freeways as Andersen's has in California promoting their famous split pea…read moresoup, one would think they would be prevalent everywhere. In reality, there are/were only two: the original location (and now closed since 2024) in Buellton and this location in Santa Nella. It turned out that we needed to take a break and gas up around lunchtime very close by, so decided to stop in for lunch. It ended up being OK. This second location has been open since 1976 and is located in a huge building with tons of seating and a large retail space. It has a separate downstairs dining room (available if your party is large), a large bar in the back (open during lunch though only one person was in there), and an upstairs not accessible during lunchtime. We came at exactly 11:00 and they had begun serving lunch. We were led to our seats, and someone came by with water. There seemed to be some confusion on who was supposed to serve us, and we were ignored for a while, even as other folks were being seated. Finally, a waitress came back (guessing she wasn't our original one, but had to pivot) and took our order. Not particularly friendly in the beginning (ended up being talkative at the end as my wife had struck up a conversation), but got our order correct. The food came out soon after, and it was served all together and was still warm when we got them. My wife and I have been to the Andersen's in Buellton and had slightly different memories of how good the split pea soup was. We ordered a cup ($6.99), and didn't even have to tell the waitress what kind of soup we wanted. The soup was good for the first couple spoonful, but didn't end up finishing it; glad we ordered a small cup. My wife and her mom split a Teriyaki Chicken dinner ($21.50) and they liked it: nothing fancy, just one chicken breast grilled and topped with bottled teriyaki sauce and a pineapple slice. I got the Danish Style Meatloaf ($21.99, was planning to share with my wife) and it seemed well made with generous portions, but neither of us liked it (the pork/beef mixture with breadcrumbs was very finely ground and reminded me of a mealy German sausage without the casing). Both the soup and meatloaf would have been good as small samples from a buffet while grazing, but are difficult as a main course for our taste. Both plates came with a from-frozen vegetable medley (broccoli, carrots, and zucchini), along with a rice pilaf for the chicken plate. We did buy some trinkets at the gift shop. I wanted to get a Danish, but ended up sharing a Cinnamon Crisp, a giant cookie covered in cinnamon sugar. It was really good, definitely worth the $5.50 price.

    This is easily one of my top 10 favorite Starbucks locations to visit-let me tell ya why…read more This location is located in the most perfect spot when I'm roadtripping to SoCal from Sacramento as the 1st stop for breakfast or refueling or maybe just stretching your legs. I can't count how many times I've gotten my 1st coffee of the day on a road trip at this location-they never fail me. I remember how happy I was when they 1st built this location-the days of getting coffee at Chevron or Shell gas stations were over-Starbucks quality from that day forward on every trip to SoCal. This location has a drive thru for those inclined to save a bit of time. Bathrooms lines can get ridiculous at this location though,if you come here on a weekend when many people are on road trips. Ordering on app is a smart thing to do here when visiting on weekends when the lines get a little crazy. I find this location is very hit or miss on cleanliness but that's due to the vast amount of people who show up here at the same time on weekends-during weekdays I find it's pretty clean. In closing-I recommend this location so much when road tripping as it provides a great spot for coffee,a quick snack or maybe a quick bathroom stop-what more can you ask for.
