January 4, 2016 We always receive great service from this friendly and well run Denny's. The manager remembers us and greets us in a sincere manner. We have a favorite breakfast and our server, Juan L., always remembers - even how we like our eggs. We never look at the menu as he takes care of our order from the moment he seats us. Our food arrives promptly and we have a friendly and enjoyable experience because of Juan. Sally S read more

Denny's food is....Denny's food. People going to Denny's should not expect World Class food fit for the slow food movement. However, the service at this Denny's is fantastic and makes it my favorite local place to eat when all else fails. Seriously. The staff is very nice, prompt and helpful. I have never had a poor experience here when it comes to service here. Sure, I could make better food at home but I don't always want to make food at the times Denny's will make it for me. Totally recommended if you just want to eat some food and have people be nice to you at midnight any night of the week. read more

Good food, quick service, great coffee, low prices. You really have to try the maple & bacon ice cream sundae or the banana's foster waffles! Dinner menu is pretty good - the meatloaf is like mom used to make (and my mom could cook pretty well!). My friends and I ate here every Friday eve for several weeks, definitely worth coming here. read more

Miguel S. is fantastic! He takes great care in serving his guests. Great smile, great attitude, great service!

Great food. Great service. I can always count on having a good meal and amazing customer service here. Never have had a complain about anything. read more

Great location, wonderful service and staff - until today; I placed a take out order and the server got it all wrong. I called the restaurant when I got home, (instead of a breakfast with all bacon, there was no bacon at all); called the "manager" who was unapologetic and said I should drive back to get the correct order. When I got there, he threw four slices of bacon in a crumpled up sack and almost charged me for it. According to the receipt, his name is Erik C. If you decide to go to this location, just look for the only overweight guy in a neck tie behind the counter - you can't miss him. It's hard to believe that this idiot is able to hold down a job there. read more

Brought in my daughter for a surprise breakfast with her friends and Junior (our server) was the best! All the employees and manager came to sing to her. She felt so special read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat. I always get the lumberjack, the eggs taste good and so does the bacon, the only thing I don't like is once you get your check you never see your server again. I always have to walk up to someone to get a coffee to go. I told the manager once and he smiled at me and said nothing. I guess that was his who gives a crud smile. read more

Great food!!!! The new skillets are hot, tasty and sizzle with a variety of meat, vegetables, potatoes, and some with eggs (cooked any style). Soooo good, nice portions! Also, great service no matter how busy they are, I am taken care of like a very important person. A big Thank You!!! to the management and staff. read more

By far the best Denny's in south Orange County. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere and great low prices. I definitely recommend.

It's rare to find a place with quick and friendly service, not to mention delicious food! This Denny's has all of that. It was a Friday morning and it was already busy but we were seated automatically and our server brought our drinks out right away. Since we already knew what we wanted (custom sampler and a ham and cheese omelette) we ordered as soon as the drinks arrived. My husband had not even taken his first sip of his very warm coffee when our food arrived. It was less than ten minutes! Hashbrowns were cooked very well and not burnt like other places. Our server was always there to check up on us. Whenever I'm back in OC in that area, I'll definitely have breakfast there. read more

I personally prefer the Denny's on Alicia pkwy. Went to this one a couple nights ago with two friends. We sat at a booth and waited 25 minutes before our server ever came anywhere near our table. Three other groups that were seated after us already had their food by the time we had received a menu (we had to ask a bus boy for menus because he was the only employee to come near us). Then once we finally get our food I notice the BLT with avocado I ordered had no bacon. Waited ten more minutes until the server finally came back. He took it back and had them fix it. As I'm eating the sandwich I notice there's hairs in it. So I instantly stopped eating. Then what was suspicious to me was that the server came back and specifically asked if I enjoyed my sandwich. Never once acknowledged the rest of the table. Usually when you go out the server asks everyone how their food was. Not one specific person. I don't know if that was me being paranoid but it just didn't sit right with me. I usually try to avoid this Denny's because the food isn't made as well and the service kinda sucks. After that incident though there's no way I'm coming back to this Denny's. read more

This Denny's is a great all american family restaurant! Food is great, good portions, affordable prices,and superb service! What more can you ask for?!?! This particular restaurant is better than other Denny's I've been to. Happy eating :) read more

What a great place! We were greeted just inside the door with a friendly smile and welcome, and seated immediately. The waiter came right over, was friendly and courteous, and took our drink orders right away. When the waiter came back, we placed our food orders, and they were served in what felt like 5 minutes, like they knew what we were going to order. The food was hot and fresh tasting. The waiter stopped by a few times during our meal, to see if we needed our drinks refreshed and if everything was OK with the food. After our meal the waiter left the check, and we didn't have to wait. The other workers at the restaurant always looked busy, and there was no one loafing around, or not paying attention to the other customers. read more

I go here every now and then ever since they opened this branch a few years ago. It's just your typical diner open 24/7. There are thousands of Dennys all over the country, but it's relative location close to home, makes it convenient. For a quick bite after hours, breakfast addicts, or an affordable restaurant to eat at, Dennys should fit the bill! read more

Loved everything especially the service. Have gone a number of times in the last month. Ixayan and Andre were excellent. It was like they could read our minds. Also a woman whose name I don't have but will get it next time. read more

My friend and I go to Denny's every now and again late night and this location is by far the best one. Miguel S is usually our waiter and he is very attentive and friendly. My iced tea is never empty! The food is good , but the reason I keep going back is the great service from Miguel! read more

This is the best Denny's I have been to in years! Love them! Was here on vacation and really enjoyed breakfasts with the great grand slams and the friendly staff. Wish they were all like this. read more

I met a friend here yesterday before work just to grab a bite before starting my shift. Our server was very pleasant and attentive hence the 2 stars if it wasn't for her it would be a one star. We had to listen to another server/ "bus boy" say deragotory comments to the other female servers and about other patrons in Spanish as if people cannot hear him or understand him well ...I could.. I tried to brush it off and enjoy my morning we finished up and left a tip, a fairly large tip ($10 on a $20 check).. well this same server (the rude one) watched us till we got up and immediately rushed our table to "clean" and pocketed the $10 .. I watched him walk back to the kitchen place the plates down and shove the money in his pocket! I was in total shock! I don't know how they handle the tips but I'm sure that not it. Be careful when tipping as your server my think you didn't! Stealing in front customers! Beware the foul language from this guy! read more

Miguel the Manager is great. Warm, caring service by the waiters too. Breakfast is fast and hot.

The food was ok the cleanliness of the store was alright but my waiter Gerardo was nothing less than perfect. He really made my day if not my week. He is so friendly an relatable. He even gave me the Denny's wifi password which made my visit fantastic. Because of him I'm going to go to Denny's every Saturday night. I mean seriously hes great. read more

Denny's: The Perfect Choice for the Family The classic breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant. Denny's is located on El Toro Road in Lake Forest, Alicia Parkway, Portola Parkway in Foothill Ranch, on Del Obispo Street in Dana Point, and numerous other locations in California. Denny's is a perfect fit for large families, kids, and individual, or even a couple enjoying a nice meal, you name it. Upon arriving to Denny's the fumes of pancakes, hot cocoa, toast, and many other delicious foods will begin to circle around you, making you feel at home. All of the employees begin to greet you with a smile. You have many options on where your choice of seating will be, you can see the check out at the entrance, booths to the left of the entrance as well as the restrooms, and to the left you will see tables and some more booths. You will be occasionally listening to kids talk jibber jabber and there will be occasions of total sophistication. Since Denny's serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, their signature lunch sandwich is the Classic Burger. This burger comes with a bus topped with sesame seeds, a perfectly juicy patty, crunchy green pickles, purple onions, bright red tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and melted cheese. There are a variety of sides to choose from, whether you are going healthy or not. For your side, if you are deciding to be a bit healthy you have the dippable veggies with your choice of dressing, regular French fries, golden hash browns, savory seasonal fruit, and seasoned fries. Once you grab your first French fry of any kind, with one touch of it you will notice their fries are not so greasy or too salty. Their seasonal fruit is sweeter than honey! Another refreshing item is a beverage to accompany your delicious Classic Burger is strawberry lemonade. It is not just your average lemonade; it is topped with real strawberries, making your lemonade a fun bright pink! Another option if you are not feeling the strawberries is the delicious mango lemonade, topped with real mangoes that turn your lemonade orange! If you are attending dinner, the most favorable choice for you would be the Spaghetti and Meatballs. The noodles are mounted on top of each other perfectly coiled together, with a layer of bright red, saucy marinara sauce, all topped with amazingly round meatballs cooked to delight. For breakfast, The Original Grand Slam is the right way to go. You will receive two warm, butter milk pancakes, eggs, your choice of style, two sausage links, and two strips of bacon. Talk about yum! Beware! Arrive at Denny's before 10 A.M. if you are going to breakfast or you will be waiting for a while, that's hot amazing their stuff is! The satisfying thing is The Best Diner is Always Open Just for You. read more
