waitress Dulin was so sweet, food was good overall very good experience! Great time will come again.

I came in to have breakfast before a long travel. I was welcomed with open arms! As I was ordering my food! The server Angie was so warm and friendly! She treated me with the up most respect and kindness! I order a lumberjack! And let me tell you! The food was delicious and amazing! The best pancakes and eggs I have ever had! The cook and the servers were so amazing! Restaurant and restrooms were so clean! Thank you Denny's for treating me so kind and welcoming me the way you did! I will be definitely be coming back! read more

I love the breakfast here! Everything is always cooked perfectly. Thank you for staying consistent! The Manager Neryda is always so kind and attentive. The staff is always so pleasant. read more

Don't eat here unless you couldn't care less how long you will have to spend in there. I stopped in here for lunch on a weekday while driving down the I-5. The place was only about one third full, so you would expect reasonable service. After placing our order, we waited about a half an hour, and then finally gave up and walked out. I don't think they had even starting cooking our food. When we told them why we were leaving, they acted like it was no big deal and that it happens all the time there. read more

Stopped at this Denny's while traveling from LA to Sacramento. Ordered a To Go order for my two children and I. My boys were happy and satisfied with their meal. Unfortunately they did not have the sauce I wanted with my chicken strip in which I asked for a refund, and even though it was done through an app the to go waitress was super nice and helped me out by giving me a refund via cash. I have stopped here an additional time as I make frequent trips up north and they never disappoint. I will be back soon. read more

The GM was very sweet and very helpful. Best customer service experience. Food came out in a timely manner.

My daughter wanted a salad and we do not have a store near us. We chose to pop on here and order a Cobb Salad. Server Dulin S attended to my us soon as she saw us. We were offered an adult or child menu. Ordered a Cobb salad. Dulin let us know they were out of boiled eggs and offered us extra topping of choice. She even gave our daughter attention the three times she approached her. As a mom, I can't thank her enough for being kind to our daughter and not giving off the impression of being bothered. Thank you! read more

Iam a trucker & I've pass by there before, but today was by far the worst I've ever been treated, 35 minutes after ordering & still my food was not served, I really think I was racially profiled, cause a white person next to me order about 20 minutes after me and he got his order pretty quickly. That's when I decided to get up & leave , I don't not recommend this place at all to any one , the worst waitress & personal I had ever encountered. read more

I don't know what's with all these bad reviews. I came in and was seated right away and there's a couple of other tables in here served right away. Very nice server graveyard lady food was great read more

I was looking for a place where my family and I could have breakfast on our way to SF from LA and we came across Dennys. I have been to many Dennys but have never been to a Dennys with such great service. Our family was delighted by how we were greeted like never before and our server was so great and attentive with us. Maria always made sure to offer any suggestions with food options and everything was perfect. The food cooked by Hermina and Julio was delicious and was delivered with super fast service. Food presentation was something that caught my eye as well, everything was plated so neatly and you can tell the food was cooked by order. Our pancakes were the fluffiest they have ever been, we left no crumbs! Just to make everything better, when we used the restrooms, we realized how clean they were, everything was recently restocked, no stalls were missing anything. You can tell Maria Elena and Emilia really do care to do a bathroom check every 15-20 minutes. There is great teamwork in this restaurant, all the servers were attentive with every table and cared for everyone. We are so satisfied with our experience and hope to stop by again on our way back! We highly recommend stopping here! read more

HORRIBLE! Service not so great but the food was terrible. Had their "Fit Slam" breakfast which was suppose to consist of scramble egg whites with tomatoes and spinach, turkey bacon, English muffin and fresh fruit. The "omelette" came with just tomatoes, no spinach. Just as I was looking for my spinach, I hear the waitress yell to the cook "are we out of spinach?" Didn't bother telling me that when I ordered or when I got my breakfast. Turkey bacon was limp like a wet noodle. English muffin seemed like they just took it out if the package and threw it on the plate. Fruit had frozen strawberries in it (not fresh fruit). My advice to anyone thinking of going here is DON'T DO IT!! read more

Said open 24/7 me and my family were starving after a long trip to the Disneyland terrible

Usually I like Dennys. The coffee is always good and the service too. This time, we are having brunch. It is past 11 am The restaurant was full, but it is almost empty now. We got our Ultimate Omelettes. Yummy! Our favorite brunch. The lady's room has no mirror, what is a minus by me! Otherwise we are satified. read more

They looked like they didn't even want to work. Was standing there for over 20 minutes never got asked once for how many people. They kept looking at us and just simply slow. One was tidying up the counter the other opening up a pack of lettuce. Just bad customer service. If traveling and want to eat, don't go to this place you just gonna waist your time. read more

It's a DENNY's. At a very busy road intersection on a major highway. We came on a Sunday morning an hour after we were on a 5-hr drive. The Irishman loves him a good American breakfast so we basically ordered hash browns, pancakes, bacon, sausage, toast (he always says America offers too many choices of bread) as well as chicken-fried steak (try explaining THAT to an Irishman - that no, you don't get a piece of fried chicken with your steak), coffee, water, orange juice. Lots of food. It was busy, but we weren't in a rush and it all showed up eventually. Total was an astounding $17 plus tip - the Irishman grabbed the check before I could look at it but not bad for a meal that kept us stuffed until nearly dinner time. read more

I stopped here this morning on my way to work since I saw this Dennys had good reviews and many people in my area had told me the service was really fast. I was supposed to be at work in an hour and everything went by so smoothly that I got there early. Not only was my food ready in a really short time, it was freshly made, still very hot and delicious! My server Gloria made sure to check up on me and was quick with my coffee refills. She was so attentive that anything I needed was brought up to me right away. My order was perfectly served and I greatly recommend the lumberjack slam if you are really hungry. The pancakes were delicious and I got them with freshly cut strawberries and bananas just like my server recommended. I used the restroom right before leaving and it smelled so clean thanks to Maria Elena! You can hardly tell it was a restroom of how good it smelled! I really think this is the best dennys experience I have ever had and everyone should definitely try it out! read more

We stop at Denny's for dinner on our way home. Had to ask for more coffee and water , very slow , they act like it doesn't matter that your there and they only had about 15 people there . Every time we go to a Denny's it's poor food or very bad customer service or both, tonight it was very bad customer service ever. Denny's you had more chances then any one place , we get better service at Burger King!!!! read more

Food was okay, server was good. That being said, food took 45 minutes after we ordered and there were only 2 of us. Two meals came out 10 mins apart. Won't be going back. read more

Hi friends, have you ever wondered why a restaurant like Denny's closes its doors for good? Whenever a Denny's closes, people often wonder why, and many say that the food wasn't that bad. Well, this Denny's should close its doors for good, immediately. The food is bad here, the manager just doesn't care. On several occasions, my aging godparents complained to the day manager about the deep fryer oil smelling rancid, the manager shrugged and replied, "that Denny's changes their fryer oil every Sunday." My aging godfather, who worked as a chef for over forty years suggested that Denny's should change their fryer oil out more often. The day manager looking visibly upset, shrugged, and walked away ignoring my godfather while he was speaking, so rude. About two weeks later, after hearing the concerns of my godparents, I ended up dining at the same Denny's. I thought, it really can't be all that bad. Boy, was I wrong. Disgusting food, and I can eat almost anything. It sucks for the customers, the clients, the workers, and the community that the management team at this Denny's does not care about the quality of service that is offered here. It absolutely sucks because I returned a plate of rancid food that was prepared far below par, and I was billed anyways. I was not offered a replacement meal, I was not offered a discount, I was not asked what was wrong with my meal. The day manager seemed entitled, arrogant, and unapologetic about the disgusting food and inhospitable service. Mind you, I have dined at Denny's twice a week for the last ten years, or so. I enjoy dining at Denny's a little too much, this location should be shut down by corporate office, immediately. Management here does not give a hoot about their clients, their customers, their workers, their community, or their quality of service. Disgusting, Rancid fryer oil. Shame on them. read more

Some people have issues with eating at a Denny's but we do not. Decent enough food, usually good locations near a freeway etc... This Denny's, in Gustine, Ca, though was very tough to deal with. Much too long a wait to be seated. Hostess did not seat us with menu's, said she would be back with them and our drinks. Never happened. The waitress that showed up ended up being the only positive thing here. She was friendly, efficient and checked with us often. Unfortunately the kitchen was slow, the food mediocre and the hostess' would could not care, even when we were trying to pay our bill. I am guessing that there is not much going on in Gustine, but there must be better places to eat a little bit off the freeway than at this Denny's. We will not be coming back and won't be suggesting it to anyone else. Sometimes location is not everything. read more

Stopped here at 5am with the family after a four drive. Place was empty. No one came out to seat us or greet us. Phone kept ringing. So we left. We knew if that was the start of the first impression, it would only be a waste of our time once seated. Avoid this place in my opinion even though it says 24 hours. They might as well just say closed. read more

Dulin and Edwin were true professionals. They did a great job, even being short handed. Thanks for the hard work and good food.

Came here service was ok food was app sat in window n my wings went from wet to dryer than the dessert

Wow, I regret not reading the Yelp reviews first. How bad can it be? Dennys off a major interstate, Saturday morning, full restaurant,...well, swatting flies, scrambled eggs were pre-cooked sitting in a pan and grey underneath. After we were seated and placed our order we were informed the Air conditioning was out during a heat wave. English muffin arrived after I finished breakfast. Just don't....don't. Keep driving read more

We ate lunch here on our way back to Los Angeles. This Denny's reminds me how a real American restaurant should be. It has the original feel, the layout is nothing fancy, there is a bar top for people to eat... usually for the truck drivers. And the food is good. Yes, this place is in the middle of no where. But there was still people inside having lunch. I ordered their Super Bird Sandwich (roasted turkey) with onion rings instead of french fries. I also had an ice tea to wash down the food. Nothing spectacular about the sandwich except it was enjoyable. The waitress was real nice too. She was very attentive to all the patrons. Obviously she knows we are not from the area... but she was really cool about it. Nice place to go to for a casual meal. Just don't have high expectations, are experience anything fancy there because it's a Denny's. read more

"Wait, I'm not taking this out. You have to cook this more." "What? Why?" "Well ... just look at it!" "It's fine! See, it's because [unintelligible explanation]" "Oh ok. I guess so. You're right." This is a conversation we overheard from the kitchen while eating our dinner at Denny's. "Overheard" might be a poor word choice, as the manager/cook and the waitress were talking loudly enough for the entire restaurant to eavesdrop. And if that exchange isn't enough to make you redirect your Yelp search to another rest stop ... there's more. My boyfriend ordered a soup as an appetizer, and a sizzling fajita plate for his dinner. I ordered a chicken sandwich with hash browns. The staff completely dropped the ball on the soup, bringing it over (along with a weak apology) only 5 minutes before we got our meals. Sitting across from the kitchen, we could clearly see my boyfriend's "sizzling" plate sitting under the lamps long before we got the soup. Thankfully, the food was good - albeit lacking its advertised sizzle. After our meal, we decided we needed a sugar boost for the remaining leg of our journey and ordered a strawberry milkshake & a coke float to go. We heard the waitress relay the order to the kitchen (again, everyone can hear what goes on in there), but somehow the manager/cook made the wrong flavor shake & put both in tall glasses instead of travel cups. After a brief argument between the waitress & the manager/cook, they were remade & brought to us. All in all, we spent about 90 minutes at Denny's. You would think that a diner at a rest stop would be accustomed to serving travelers. People who are trying to get from one place to another in a timely manner, with a destination in mind. If you spend over an hour at a rest stop, it should be because you're tired ... not because you're still waiting for your food! And between that and the soup/entree debacle, it was evident that this Denny's has extremely poor time management skills. But if that STILL isn't enough to persuade you to change your mind about stopping here ... What's the most important component of a rest stop? That's right: the bathroom. The women's bathroom was icky. Two messy stalls, with toilet paper scraps on the floor & a wet sink (what you'd expect to see at a bar bathroom, honestly). My boyfriend told me that although the men's bathroom was cleaner, while he was using the urinal a female staffer popped her head in - without knocking - to change the garbage bags. NO THANK YOU. read more

It is next to Rotten Robbies, the gas station on Rte 5. This is a place where you feel normal ordering fritters with ice cream or pancakes while your companion orders a burger. At 11pm. I ordered the Banana Puppies. I fell for that one! read more

Amazing experience here! Staff was friendly and service was A1! The manager monique was so on top of everything and made sure to check on her customers, extremely pleased with my time at this denny's. Will for sure be coming back here! read more

Had really good service and there was plenty of seating. Went at around 9pm less than a week ago for a late dinner on my way back to The City. There were a lot of menu items to choose from, especially from the new $2, $4, $6, $8 value menu. I decided not to opt for those since nothing appealed to my particular tastes. I decided on the country-fried steak. Came with dinner buns with butter, and my choices of cole slaw and onion rings. It took a while for all the food to come out at once but the dinner buns kept the family busy for a bit. The country fried steak was alright, needed a bit more sauce. The cole slaw needs improvement since the whole platelet (petri dish sized) seemed like watered down lettuce. The onion rings were tasty but the onions were falling apart after the first bite into each ring. Nevertheless, the food left my stomach fulfilled with the help of the rest of the table feeding me some of their Santa Fe Skillet, which was also pretty good. Restrooms are clean but may be hard to find since I didn't see any signage. Good thing the table was right by the restroom door so I didn't have to scout the whole establishment. read more

I've been coming to Denny's for years and this Denny's always gets it right. My wife was a server so I know how tough the business is. My server was Elizabeth and poor thing was running around this afternoon doing such a great job. Except for the manager that bullied her a little towards the end everything was great and I would definitely ask for Elizabeth only next time. read more
