I haven't been to this Denny's since the remodel but it's really nice to see such a nice location here in Hayward. Their parking lot is a decent size but I'm sure it fills up entirely on Sunday mornings or Friday evenings. The tables all look very nice and the booths are very comfortable. Seems like they had plenty of seating inside to accommodate a larger crowd but I'll have to come back during a busy day to know for sure. They have a nice turf lawn out front with lawn chairs and lawn games you can really use which is cool. The host was very friendly and alert and found my party a good sized booth which fit us very well. Our drink orders were taken immediately as we sat down, and I always appreciate that. I immediately noticed updates to their menu in a good way. They added a few new items and options while still having all the classics that you know and love. Despite having done this expensive remodel they didn't remove the value menu which truly has good options for people who want to spend less money or even just have a smaller appetite. Our food came quickly but we noticed one plate was given extra bacon and missing pancakes. When we told the server, she didn't even hesitate to fix the problem. She ran to the kitchen and somehow within a minute she had the missing pancakes added to the plate. We even got to keep the extra bacon. I noticed the servers were taking orders in both Spanish and English so it's nice to see they can accommodate both. I also noticed they have two 'claw arcade machines' that were both functional and updated with new toys. So we tested them to see if they were rigged for failure and my 10yo son won a prize on his first attempt. This completed our trip to this Denny's with a smile. I'll definitely be back. read more

Denny's - Waiting area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

Luc was out server and she was wonderful she made sure our food came on time and was very hot

I'm only giving 2 stars for the esthetics. Inside it was clean and nice. Now let's move forward to the service. No greeting when entered fine, the lady that took me to my table. Rude. The waitress (Luz) seemed like she had a lot going on so I was trying to accommodate her by being a little bit more patient and understanding. However, when I received my check, I noticed that she had overcharged me on 2 drinks that I had sent back because the orange juice was so watered down. I wasn't willing to pay $5 a glass. When I asked her to remove them because I had sent it back, she yanked it out of my hand and when she came back to give me the new receipt, I had my hand out to grab it and she slammed it on the table. I initially left her a $10 tip on a $40 bill. Because I felt bad and she seemed busy and was doing the best. She could, but after she did that, I took that 10 dollar tip and put it back in my wallet where it belongs. You need to earn a tip correct. By the way, u service people and this service just sucked. Also food had a weird stale taste. Maybe I came on a bad day but I don't think I will be back to find out. read more

Came to Denny's on Hesperian for the first time tonight. This location is beautiful. Went in at night and had the pleasure of being served by Jose. He really made our night. We were a large group (10 of us) and Jose absolutely crushed it! He was very friendly and even though they were short staffed, made sure that we all had our food in a timely manner. He is an asset to this location. I was surprised to find out that he is not a manager. I've worked the restaurant business before and he definitely has manager potential. Food came out hot and to me tasted better than I've had at my local Denny's. When back in the area, I will definitely visit again. read more

Alex was a great server!!! It was my daughter's birthday and he brought out the crew to sing to her and made her feel special!!

This is my third review of this Denny's! We live nearby so it is convenient and with my 15% Chabot student discount-and their senior menu-it is super affordable. The five stars this time are for the service-Alejandro M was our server and he was terrific. Thank you Alejandro. Our order came so quickly we were shocked. BUT...I ordered a waffle...and THAT was a mistake. This is a plea to Denny's management at this location and across the country. PLEASE take waffles OFF YOUR MENU unless they can be made fresh. This "waffle" was clearly frozen and either cooked in a microwave or a toaster. It was absolutely inedible. I mentioned this to staff and they said yes, the waffles....are not the best. Stick to what you do well, Denny's and don't have WAFFLES on your menu unless they can be cooked in a waffle iron! I had been craving a fresh waffle for a while, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This was literally like a piece of tough cardboard so it was really disappointing. It was flat out embarrassing to have something like that put on a plate. I should have sent it back but didn't want to bother our waiter with it who was already super busy and doing an amazing job even though there were only two servers working the entire restaurant. My husband shared his French toast with me so I didn't go hungry. One other message to management; please find a way to clean out the coffee carafes if you are going to serve hot tea in them. The coffee flavor/odor lingers in them and ruins the tea. Other better option; have SEPARATE CARAFES for tea and coffee please! read more

Denny's (510) 962-4574 25010 Hesperian Blvd Hayward, CA 94545 https://locations.dennys.com/CA/HAYWARD/249621 December 11, 2022. *WHAT! I did not know there was a Denny's in Hayward. And I live in San Leandro. Passed by it on our way to Black Bear, so illegal U-turn and Denny's we are going. *Being that it's a Sunday morning, yes parking will be a challenged. BUT it's God's Day so practice practice patience. It was a 25 min wait but again Sunday morning and the Sunday brunch crowd. *I will have to UPDATE this review soon, being that I was excited, and the tummies took priority over the camera. *This will be my new go to location for Denny's; I have not been a fan of the San Leandro location for a while now. Both the service and the foods seemed to have gone downhill. Which is said being that I love supporting local businesses. read more

I come here to eat all the time! It's clean, the waitresses are friendly, and the food is always good. It's also kid friendly! There's a little play area in the front and a claw machine with cute plushies! Cynthia is super fast with the food too, im never waiting too long. They have great smiles and a great ambience! Keep up the great work Dennys!! read more

I am very disappointed in the service . We have been patronizing Dennys for over 40 years. I always order pancakes with warm syrup. They always accommodate my requests to have the syrup warmed. However, for the first time in over 40 years, our server said she could not do this for me. I would never have stopped at this location had I known! I will definitely never come back. I am a server myself, and I always go above and beyond to make my customers happy!!!!! read more

Service is poor. Food comes out undercooked and greasy. A silver fish (bug) climbed across our table. Servers are not knowledgable of the menu or trained in being a server. After giving this location several opportunities for change, they've completely missed the mark each time. I wasn't a big fan of Denny's to begin with, but was hopeful that this would be a great location because it's brand new and competing with Black Bear. Unfortunately, both places suck and we won't return to either. read more

Denny's - Not impressed - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

One of the nicest looking Denny's around. Fully remodeled and very inviting. Party lights and lounge chairs up front set the fun, positive mood. Fully remodeled and clean. Wow the Chabot college students across the street are in luck. They can choose between this place or the Blackbear diner practically next door. How convenient to jump across the street for a lunch beak for something decent. Fresh and crisp. Fully remodeled from top to bottom. It could possibly be a new build from the ground up - I'm not familiar with what this could have been before if anything. Party lights over green turf and lounge chairs. If you have little kids or goofy friends they will enjoy hanging up front for a bit. Some people might not think of Denny's for their good food... but I like it. Tends to be fresh and brought out quickly by diligent young energetic servers. This location is no different. Prices are better than elsewhere and who doesn't like a good value. Sometimes I think of a sad holiday movie where two people are eating at a Denny's on Chritmas. Was it that movie Bad Santa? But I'd like to point out that its incredible that you can count on Denny's to be open on most holidays so that we can have this option. Sometimes sweating over the stove is a bit overrated - I personally would look forward to coming here to celebrate any holiday. If I had to have one criticism I'd have to say the only thing I could complain about is its too clean... yeah thats right. I remember smelling some cleaning chemicals as I waited near the bathrooms - likely coming from there - usually when I walk into a Dennys the first thing I smell is food :) read more

The hubby and I came in late for pancakes and coffee. Since it's a new facility, the decor is pretty awesome. We were not sure who are server was at first, but after about 15 minutes we were helped. We ordered then waiting for another 20 minutes. When the pancakes finally arrived, we had to tell the server we needed syrup, extra napkins, and coffee refills. They were tasty, but after having our fill, we waiting another 20 minutes for our check. No one came so we just got up and paid at the front. Fortunately, the person at the register knew our order. Despite having good pancakes, the service was not good or should I say absent. read more

Denny's - Social stars - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

My wife and I had lunch here on 9/30. We have been married for 16 years now (yes, an anniversary meal at Denny's is as romantic as it gets). This location opened exactly 5 weeks ago. It replaced Celia's Mexican Restaurant (my wife was a fan, but I never got to eat there). The parking lot could be bigger, and my wife had to be careful not to run two goofballs over when we arrived (they were seated at the other end of the room, but the older man was so loud that it was easy to hear him). We were promptly seated (we were even asked if the particular booth that we were brought to was okay). Then, after we ordered, all of our food was brought to us within 4 minutes. There are 3 rooms, but the restaurant is still on the small side (we were in the main room, which seats about 50). It was bright inside because the blinds were all up (Celia's was dark inside because the blinds were constantly down). The restrooms are right by the entrance. Our server was friendly and quick, but she didn't hear me when I ordered my meal (I wanted ham, but I received 2 orders of sausage crumbles). We also received our bill too soon (she did the same thing with another table). Telling us that there was no hurry didn't make me feel better about it (I thought that her shift had ended, but that was not the case- my wife left a solid tip). A young man helped me when I paid at the front. He was very polite and thorough. Note: All prices include tax. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=9Nrqt_Qhnx3gd0HkiC6xKg: 22 oz. soft drinks are $3.98. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=dvHW0M_DOWEYWEXffasApA: Build Your Own Sampler ($13.50): 7/10. They tasted fine, but the onion rings and mozzarella cheese sticks could have been cooked a little longer. In general, I got the sense that our food was rushed out. Our chicken tenders were soft and tasty, but when you build your own sampler, you're only going to receive 2. Smaller bowls could be used. We could have drenched our bodies in the sauces that were left over (ranch; marinara; bbq). Loaded Veggie Omelette ($14.94): 8/10. "Three-egg omelette with fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, fire-roasted bell peppers & onions, tomatoes and Swiss cheese. Served with hash browns and choice of bread." My wife received a good amount of food, and she was pleased with it. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=QAXPMega3B1rc-S_3AbjkQ: Build Your Own Omelette ($16.49): 8/10. The hash browns were too crunchy, but not bad. My English muffin was kind of average, and it was weird that I had to ask for butter (so did someone else). My wife's toast was buttered already. My omelette was great (the chorizo sausage dominated, but I enjoyed the spicy kick that it provided), but I was annoyed at the mistake (small tablets are used, and it's possible that the server just pressed the wrong thing when I asked for ham). The sausage crumbles were good, and the omelette was only somewhat greasy despite all the meat that it had. The eggs and Swiss cheese were like background singers, but they stood out enough. Our total was $52.88. The food is too pricy here, but my wife and I still had a nice experience overall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEgyZEP52hM&ab_channel=FannyDekeyzer-Topic read more

New Hayward Dennys across the street from Chabot College opened today. Very nice location with lots of local Hayward flair and pictures from the area. The restaurant is clean and fresh really nice to have a 24 hour restaurant in the area. Takes me back to my childhood from going to Dennys as a kid and late night as a teenager. Stop in and get some grub anytime because "Dennys is always open." read more

Cynthia - very amazing server - outgoing and a light to serving. Had a great time with a party of 8. Will definitely come back

A few months ago, I asked for hot water during my meal. I noticed that the Hot water tasted like pool water. I mentioned this to my server. I asked him to try the. Hot water for himself. I doubt seriously if he ever took me up on this. This is why I am not motivated to come back to Dennys. My simple request is to use "Filtered water" for your hot water. Water should not have a taste. My cell is 510 427 2034 if Dennys is seriously about listening to a customers concern. read more

Inosencia was a great server who served us fresh coffee and excellent meals. This Dennys is highly recommended.

Every Saturday morning I also look forward to my breakfast at Danny's. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Cynthia has on nearly all my visits has servered me and got to know my favorite breakfast meal. She has a big kind smile and always checking on her customers to ensure they are ok and if they needed more. Cynthia has the quality to be a great leader / shift manager and example to her co- workers on customer service. I always look forward to seeing her when I visit Denny's for my Saturday breakfast. She's just the best all round to everyone visiting Denny's read more

I decided to order food since I had a 3 hour commute home. Placed an order for Moons over my hammy with fries, a side of ranch and ketchup. Maybe 20 minutes into my drive, I decided to eat. This is when I discovered I did NOT get moons over my hammy. Instead I got an over cooked egg and not scrambled eggs, no cheese, but it's suppose to come with cheese, no ham, but instead got these small pieces of burnt meat of some sort, no ranch or ketchup, but got thousands islands. Like what the hell did they do to my food? I was so pissed!! Called twice and no answer. Called again and a girl answered but it was too loud to even explain what happened. I want my $20 refund ASAP!' read more

First of all, I will like start by saying that last night I was with our group of work at this location, and we were told by the manager Maria Diaz to get out of the restaurant for complaining of the bad service. And not only that I had to get my own silverware to our table. It was extremely disappointed by the manager's behavior because she also went out to the parking lot to take a picture of my car because she thought I didn't have my handicap sign on my dash. I also recorded her on my phone of her actions. Been here has been the worse experience ever with all my work group that we face with a manager of a restaurant. It is very sad that we had coming on many occasions and every time Maria was there, she has been always with an attitude. We tried to also talked to the waiters in the restaurant and it seems that they all afraid of Maria. I will also will send emails to headquarters making sure this gets address because we will take on legal actions if we don't get any response. read more

Yaritza was our waiter. Brought food within a good timing. Food was good and brought what we need. She was super sweet.

I am very dissatisfy with my food. I ordered T-bone Steak medium. I received my order it was well done, burned, tastes nasty and the steak was very hard to chew. I was very upset because I was looking forward for my big breakfast. The waitress offered me to order another steak or order something different but I refused. They end up didn't charge me my order. My husband was ok with his food but not well satisfy. read more

Service was fast and professional. Good environment and workers were attentive. Food is always good here. Good deals and good prices

Luz was an amazing server she needs a raise asap! She was super fast and helpful even when she had a lot of tables. Food was good as well.
