The staff here is so nice. We had the best time here. We were in Newport Beach and I was just getting back to myself after eating bad shell fish before we left town. They know the menu well and will fit things anyway you want. They are fast and attentive. We were very happy. We all had full breakfasts and they were all great. I did not get pancakes because I am stuck on IHop, but my grandson did and they were super good. The eggs and bacon were cooked exactly as ordered and arrived hot. The toast was very good. The prices here are fair and the place is adorable, comfortable, cute and super clean. Parking is free and there is plenty of it. My husband also had a salad and it was fresh and crisp. All of their food is good. Remember you get what you pay for so if you want some fancy steak go elsewhere. We have been here for dinner and the fish and chips were super. read more

Not sure why this place is reviewed where it's at. The staff is super friendly -- shoutout to Claudia -- and the management team is always incredibly nice and social Never had an issue with the food and the pricing is hard to beat. Also, their waffle is a liege waffle. You know how hard it is to find a place that does liege waffles (spelling)? read more

Tipped $5 on okay service on $40 and the short Latino manager says. " glad I wasn't your server" I'll make sure to tip zero next time and not come to this Denny's Fire the manager read more

Came here on Memorial Day post-workout with a group of 30, and they accommodated us with only 15-20 minutes notice. Talk about service! Plenty of breakfast options for everyone -- my go-to is pancakes with a side of whipped cream, scrambled eggs, and turkey bacon. read more

This is honestly the last time I will ever DoorDash any order from here. Last time it was the pancakes, and this time it it with no condiments in the order that was placed. When I called in the General manager was there and was blaming me for not requesting it. Let him know it was common scene to add it. Informed him that I was going to drive there to replace the order and get a fresh one with all the condiments. When I went in he was still saying it was my fault for not asking for it. I pulled out my phone and informed him where is it asking for it? There was no request button for condiments. Then he started to blame my phone and the app. LOL! Mind you, this man couldn't even find the condiments request button! lol Started to say that in the state of CA they are not allowed to just add condiments to the online orders. Informed him that I was clearly not in the service industry and that it was no where in sight online! Yet there tables are covered with condiments. The math isn't mathing. He made me place ANOTHER ORDER online and it was another $27!!!! This bafoon forgot to cancel my order which resulted into another DoorDash coming my way. I had to inform the dasher of what was happening and he had to go back to speak with the manager. I had to call DoorDash myself to cancel the order and for me to get a FULL REFUND for the 2nd order that was placed. Not only did the manager waste my time and the dashers but had 2 out of three FULL meals thrown away due to not paying attention. I woke up this morning with 5 door dash charges because of the general managers neglect. Beyonnnd mad. This order has cost me over $130!!!!!!!!! I'm reaching out to corporate at this point! read more

Wife and I went for Breakfast. Excellent food and service. Had the vegetarian omelet. Coffee was fresh and hot. read more

Gave them another chance try to order from this location through Uber. They cancelled the order AGAIN. Called the store this time and the employee claims the "boss" tells him they cannot cancel orders. Now they're even lying about the most ridiculous things. Pathetic. read more

It's been ages since I've had a Dennys grand slam. I had a free reward so I decided to redeem it on a Sunday morning. The bacon was crispy and sausage was perfect. Eggs over easy. The place was about 1/3 full at 8 am. Host was kind and service was terrific. read more

Denny's - Grand slam Original Grand Slam® - Diners Near Me - Irvine, California

Like some other reviewers say, you don't plan on coming to Denny's.....you just come here because of the convenience of being one of the only spots open 24hrs. And, I just remembered why I stopped coming here years ago...unfortunately, we had just returned from a long and late flight, and this was the only option available. Things went well at the beginning....friendly greeting from our server who led us to our table. She was so nice and friendly that we thought, ok, maybe thinsg had changed here over the years...but no. It's the same old average Denny's food and aweful service. We had almost finished our meal when one of us found a piece of hair in their steak. Our server was no where to be found, so we waved down another server to explain what we had found. She was shocked and said that she would go get our server asap. A minute later, along comes our server, all smiles and friendly demenour, and asked how everything was? We held up the hair and told her this was what we found on the steak......and Oh wow.....I suddenly felt a freezing chill down my spine when her face suddenly turned upside down, and a real *B* of an attitude emerged. She asked whose plate it came from and, after an awkward pause, said that she would bring the check and take that dish off. No expression of surprise and no apology whatsoever....just a cold stare and unapologetic attitude. Then, she brought the credit card scanner, not the check, and literally just dumped it on the table and walked away..without a word. What an attitude! Now that I remember why I never liked this place, I will try doubly hard never ever to come back here. Utterly disaapointing and disgraceful. read more

Great for what it is! The prices are starting to rise from what I remember last time but isn't everything lol. Service was friendly! Food was similar to ihop! Definitely a family friendly diner vibe. read more

I wanted to gatekeep my neighborhood Denny's, but the service and food are just too good. We were greeted with a big friendly smile on a Sunday morning, which instantly set the tone for our visit. Everyone who came in got the same warm welcome. We even told the hostess it had been a while since we'd had service like that and our breakfast was amazing too. I had pumpkin pancakes with egg whites, and my husband had French toast. We always stop by Denny's when we travel; it reminds us of the good old days. We had a great morning. read more

Had the bourbon chicken! OMG it was delicious. I definitely large portion. I'm taking half of it home for dinner. The people are incredibly kind and the places immaculately clean. My hubby had the chicken fried steak. We were there at 11:00 in the morning. It's great that you can get breakfast and dinner all at the same time read more

I used to enjoy visiting this Denny's with my family, but our recent experience was disappointing. Prices have gone up while portion sizes, including bread, have noticeably shrunk. Kid's Meal 1 ($6.39): Two chicken tenders and two strips of small bacon. Kid's Meal 2 ($5.79): Mac & cheese with bacon and sausage--sides were too small. Senior Meal ($11.29): My mother-in-law's favorite salmon dinner now had smaller portions and bread. My Meal ($16.99): Chicken fried steak--price increased, with smaller portions and bread. Overall, the rising prices and shrinking portions make it hard to recommend this location, especially for kids. I am not sure if this is the corporate policy or just specific to this location. The changes here are significant. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Irvine, California

It was really busy and only one waiter. Waiter did a great job considering. Food was ok but seemed a bit less than usual.

Let's be real ...no one plans to go to Denny's. You just end up at Denny's, like when your life Google map loses signal and says, "You know what? Pancakes." Walked into the Irvine location and was immediately hit with the smell of syrup, coffee, and broken dreams. Waitress was sweet but vanished like my motivation. Would I come back? Sure, if it's 1:37 AM, I've made some questionable choices, and I need to be humbled by rubbery eggs and lukewarm coffee. Otherwise... probably not. read more

Had not been to a Dennys in a while. This was one of the only places open after going to the ER at around 1030-11 PM. Ambiance was a combo of rustic and diner style elements. Service was great. Very quick to say hello upon our arrival and welcome us to sit anywhere. They served all types of meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) all day. I saw some people order banana pancakes late at night, and though I'm usually into sweets, I was craving something more savory. Was recommended the slow cooker meaty melt by staff but my eye was caught by the crispy bacon ranch sandwich. What is nice about Dennys is you get quantity! The food is definitely enough for two people. Felt the chicken was not evenly distributed between both people but that's okay (cos I got the side w more chicken ;)) Fries were salty and decadent! Seems like a great place for big parties as a local hockey team was celebrating nearby. Dennys is def good because of its consistency and long open hours. The only cons I would say are the bathrooms aren't super kept up. read more

Been going here for years and then started ordering every Saturday and Sunday on Uber Eats. The location has canceled the orders the last couple of weekends right after I put them in. I guess they don't want the business. So much for trying to support local business. I have moved on to a new location that appreciates the business. read more

I have not received my food that I paid for and I'm am very upset no help at all and the dishwasher looked at me with a dirty look I'm very very upset and I will not come to this Dennys at this time read more

Amazing service and amazing food. The ambiance was very beautiful. I got the grand slam with scrambled eggs and it was amazing. It was free for veterans and I definitely took the advantage. Thank you dennys for the free food!! read more

Great food and service, the grand slam was definitely worth it. Hospitality is a 10/10

It's 4 AM and I came after work and after giving me my nachos the server never checked up on me one time to see if I needed anything or if the food was good or give me a refill of water until it was time to get the check. He asked me if I wanted the change and I said yes and he never came back. Too funny 11/29/25 read more

Ordered tor personal pickup not uber, etc. two times in a row same manager prepped order. It was a super slam with pancakes. If you order pancakes butter should automatically be included because Denny's own online ordering doesn't have it anywhere or special instructions to include. Even if they did that manager wouldn't pay attention because i ordered sugar free syrup on condiment list and he doesn't pay attention. This time i checked and had to ask for sugar free syrup and rather than have packets of syrup, squeezes it out of the bottle into a container that the lid has a small hole and leaks all over the bag out the hole. I have contacted Denny's feedback and supposedly they contact franchise but if they do, it does no good. The food itself is good. It's all the crappy service that comes with it. There is another Denny's up the road a little if it happens again i can go over there. I have actually thought about ordering at table and when immediately served ask for everything to pack myself . I just have time for the headaches for a breakfast read more

Nothing wrong with this Dennys. It's a Dennys you know what you're getting. Service is fine depending on when you go. Just writing this review to let people know this one does not accept ANY coupons. read more

The Denny's crew is very serviceable and kind. Juan, Tony, and rosa's service is the best! Always around.

Does not "participate" or "honor" any promotions or coupons including the free birthday breakfast slam.

Awesome service, Tony is #1!! Always so attentive and jolly. Whenever I'm in town and I eat here with my family, we're lucky to have Tony serve us. Always a good time! read more

Juan, Tony, Rosita where all great people to meet, and food her was served fast and good

I love this spot. Great service and food is amazing! Javier made the experience so much better. Definitely recommend!

Cutest restaurant ever!! Food tasted great for early breakfast at 5am. Came in with 15 girls and were all seated and given food super fast. The waiter was so nice and charming. Definitely should come for an affordable breakfast!! read more

Food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING service was incredible great energy for early in the morning super clean and satisfied everyone. Javier had amazing service love it here read more

Great service! We had a large party but the food was still delicious and came out super fast especially for how early we showed up!

Me and my 2 guests went here today. First this Dennys denied a disabled military his free birthday slam and then the omelet that came was hair infested. The waiter tried to deny it at first and he said the workers use hair hats until I showed him the copious amounts of hair spread throughout. Wasn't even offered a free meal for the other guests or free desert. Nothing for your disgusting uncleanliness! Stay away from this mess. read more

The food and service was good. When it came to pay the bill they would not honor the AARP or the military discount that I've used at every other Dennys no matter the time of day. It was very disappointing they treat their customers this way. I will find a different Dennys in the future. read more

I get Dennys coupons and came to this one to use the $10 off $30 but this one doesn't take coupons. WTH!!

Slow service (refill coffee of all things, smh). And THEY HONOR 0 DISCOUNTS. Even nationally televised promos, coupons, rewards and AARP / Veterans (greedy much?). There is a clear reason why, they are basically in a Hotel parking lot, they can turn up their noses at us common folk and LEECH OFF THE TOURISTS. See? Designed and manufactured to be a tourist trap, no need for customer service, those ppl probably won't be back. Heck , they even skimp on A/C in the summer. Yes it is that obvious this place is a profiteering to the max establishment, so know that going in. read more
