I'm a firm believer in finding the positive in everything. A Pollyanna if you will. So to start out let me say that the coffee was good as well as hot. And then we backslide from there. Upon entering, the smell of old grease hits you in your face. It maybe that the filter above the stoves haven't been changed or cleaned in a while, I don't know. What I do know is that the dirty, greasy smell was nauseating and making me want to leave asap. Pity because the server was friendly and polite. The booth where we sat was directly under a the radio speaker that was too loud and worse yet, not tuned in properly so you heard loud scratchy musical static. The seating in the booth had seen better days because it had no support. We had to slide over more towards the window to have a proper seating place. We ordered our hash browns extra crispy because due to the several other times we've eaten at Dennys these past 4 weeks we found them a little too white and wilted for our taste. When we got our order 4th st were so crunchy and brown it was like eating potatoe chips with a slight burned flavour. It's really a pity not to be able to say something more positive. I loved the Spanish speaking ambience of everyone there and the homey feel but I just couldn't get over the grease smell. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Long Beach, California

Denny's is Denny's is Denny's. But, somehow I feel like this one is a bit more homey. Just because it's so teensy tiny and the service is always great. Well, it always has been the handful of times I've been here. Do you ever leave Denny's feeling good about yourself? No. Not one bit. But if I've gotta feel bad about myself at a Denny's somewhere, this weird, corner, diner-ish one in the LBC is gonna be it. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! We go to the Denny's on Long Beach Blvd, Downtown Long Beach. Always great service, and good solid food, a wide variety, with changing menu specials. Staff is friendly and smiling, and we love Armeda who is the best waitress in Long Beach. Been coming here for 20 years. The manager is a very nice fellow and is always busy, yet always stops by our table to say hello. The only downside is that in the summer the air conditioner is always malfunctioning, and the place can get REALLY hot. Bad enough for the customers, we saw some folks walk out because there was no A/C, (I admit we have done that ourselves on super hot days) so the owners are losing $$$$ there. This is not new, this has been for several years now so the owners know about it. And the cooks and servers must be under a lot of heat stress, sweating and near fainting, especially if it gets busy. How do the owners expect an employee to work under these terrible conditions? I do not know who owns this place but they need to FIX the A/C. They are losing $$$ daily and treating their employees badly. Please, many customers were complaining today, some walked out, and I bet the workers do not say anything, they just suffer on and do their jobs, but WE the customers are concerned. Owners, wake up! read more

I love me some breakfast - I could eat breakfast for any meal. And a late night breakfast after a night of drinking? Uh, duh, why else would we be at Denny's. I'm tempted to grade this Denny's on a curve - which might bump this rating up to a 3. Ok, yeah, it's a 3. I just changed it right now. You wouldn't know it was a 2 just a second ago. Except now you do because I just told you. Really, we all should know by now what to expect from Denny's food (except for new/limited time promo items - more on that later). The great variable is the service, and surprisingly for a late Saturday night, we were treated to pretty decent service last night. We were seated promptly even though the place was packed, and our server was prompt with our drinks and coffee refills. Right now Denny's is running some sort of band-inspired menu item promotions, and, sucker for new food items that I am, I opted for the All-American SOS (inspired by the All-American Rejects, I guess). Well this concoction did not get the all-american reject from me (see what I did there?). No, in fact, I scarfed that mess down. It's basically an open-faced hamburger... but served on top of Texas Toast. With grilled onions. And smothered w/ gravy. It was... surprisingly decent. Wait, why was I gonna give this place a 2? It is what it is, as they say. read more

I only have ten minutes and I really have to pee before my next appointment...but, I have been longing to yelp so here goes! Denny's? 4 stars? Could it be possible? I say a resounding yes. Look, we all know it's not fine dining we're after when we head to Denny's. But, we know what to expect. It's like I explain to my patients...trying something new can be anxiety provoking. But, sticking with an old, reliable favorite has the opposite effect. Hubby and I were in a pinch! We needed breakfast STAT! On our way out to pick up his car from the night before and then rush back for another engagement, we careened into this Denny's. My man is not hard to please...just give him some good, old fashioned, crispy hashbrowns he can put tobasco on and he's a happy man. Weird, that so many (more trendy) places don't even offer the browns. So, yeah, he had the chicken fried steak & eggs and I had a new menu item... a delicious breafast burrito (avacado and bacon). The best part was that it was grilled. It came with hashbrowns in it AND a side of hb's. Wow! Denny's really knows when they've got a good thing. The service was accommodating our rushed scheduled and the coffee was never empty. My husband did complain that he got a small glass of water when he asked for a large. Big whoop, I say. I offered him mine, too...but he was into the whole proving a point thing. Another reason this meal gets 4 stars is that it was CHEAP. After trying a few other places...like Starling...it's nice to know I can walk away from a good, satisfying, hit-the-spot breakfast under 20 bucks (my burrito was like 6.95!!) So, if you're missing the crispy hashbrowns...you know, if you've had all the foo-foo "homestyle" fries you can muster, head on over to the big D. Your wallet will thank you. mmmmmmm read more

I think we can all agree that Denny's (in general) is pretty gross....but there are some gems on the menu and let's face it, we all get desperate. And when you're desperate, there's Denny's. Now that I've totally bagged on them, I'll tell you why they're getting 3 stars from me. 2 reasons: 1. The 'Moons Over My Hammy" --the name alone would get props, but it's disgustingly good. (especially when you're inebriated) 2. About 9yrs ago my friend and I found TWO $100 bills out in front of this Denny's....this, just a day before we were to leave for our first trip to Vegas after turning 21. Of course we felt bad for whomever lost their money so we actually sat in the car for an hour waiting to see if anyone was looking for their money....but then we decided to leave and spend the money on liquor and whores. (ok, there weren't any whores) read more

This place is absolutely disgusting, it smells really bad and the food tastes old. My family and I were so hungry and decided to make a quick stop at this location and we so regret it... We almost left all the food because it was that bad. I don't like jack in the crack but we would've had been better off just going there since is really close to this establishment. I must say that the service was okay but even the manager came out to offer a 10% off the check because I'm sure they are used to people complaining about the food and that bad smell in there. The hubby was saying that it smells like if there is a roach infestation, go figure! read more

Great service Everytime i go I really love the nachos and pancakes. The night time is the best time to go because they are the ones I am writing this review for the Night shift people. read more

I haven't been to a Denny's since living in the boredom-full Illinois suburbs as a high school teen. Alas, one night after the Iggy Pop concert on the Queen Mary, it was midnight and nothing in Long Beach/Belmont Shores was serving. So we go to the 24/7 trusty Denny's. LET ME TELL YOU, they have come a long way from the pancakes and syrup and disgusting sausage from 2004-2008. Their new health conscious menu is PERFECTION! Their salad with walnuts, cranberry's, avocado, and chicken was delicious. My boyfriend ordered their healthy omelette, avocado, and turkey bacon!!! NOT EVEN high-end restaurants carry turkey bacon. We ended with the orange spiced tea. DELICIOUS! read more

I honestly really dislike the food quality of any Denny's. It's a last resort for cheap breakfast food or late night food, especially after drinking. Breakfast is okay, it's not the best tasting, but what made the experience even better is the sweetest waitress, I believe her name was San. Really sweet lady with short hair. She was attentive, funny, and really nice! I really love it when you get that kind of service at any restaurant, it keeps me coming back in hopes to get the same kind of service, or the same person! read more

I don't expect much from Denny's and so it was OK over all. Service was OK, Breakfast was OK, Price was OK, the Place was OK. Nothing special, nothing new. BUT: they don't participate in the member-card thing which is pretty customer-unfriendly! read more

Like Hazel Q. said, Denny's is Denny's is Denny's. But this one is awesome; the servers (during the day) all know me and I always get great service from them. I love Han, the little Korean waitress. She's so adorable and kind, and is constantly smiling wherever she goes. Great gal. There's another one who is younger, Spanish girl - short, always sporting the pony tail with her brown hair, and glasses. I like her, too, and I feel horrible I can't remember her name. She liked my Totoro shirt. Any Miyazaki fan is a friend of mine. :3 And although I don't really come in that often at night, the night staff is equally as nice and attentive. But ANYWHO, on to the food. I usually always get breakfast here because, let's face it, it's always about the Denny's breakfast. And it's CHEAP too, which I love. Though last night I an over-medium egg and the yolk was almost neon yellow, which was questionable to me... eh. Oh well. Tasted okay, I just thought it was odd. The only thing they've ever screwed up with with me is when I get the chicken sausage - it came out ice cold on two different occasions. But they always throw it right back on the grill to heat it up, or get me a brand new one, so not really much to complain about! Oh, and try out the new bacon menu. I think it's only for a limited time, but they have some awfully tasty looking things I wanna try out. Bacon flapjacks? Yes please. They're on my list. Also, the bacon sundae? Ffffff... seriously, do NOT knock it until you've tried it. Think of it this way: haven't you ever heard of maple sausage? Or don't you dip your sausage into syrup? You've never had toffee covered bacon candy? You guys are missing out. DO EET. Especially when you're drunk; that shit is just perfect for it. Yum yum. read more

I was really looking forward to a quick hot breakfast. But then the nats started up. We killed 5 all while trying to eat or meal. The waitress didn't check in, had to borrow creamer from another table and she never brought us our check. Also had a gypsy beg us for money from the very next booth. Won't ever come back here! read more

We stopped by at this Denny's on the way back home from a pumpkin patch in Long Beach. We had (2) 1 month old babies and (1) 5 year old and (1) 3 year old. You can just imagine the waters that were spilled and the commotion we caused!!!! The staff were great!!!! I didn't catch their names but I'm guessing they were the managers in charge that day! I am in customer service and if these (2) managers are the trainers for the rest of the staff then this Denny's is destined for greatness! They were very attentive and respectful! Absolutely best damn service I ha me received in a very long time!!!! Today's date (10/20/15) approximate time of our visit 8:00pm read more

The best thing about this location was our server John. Scumbag people come in due to the location of this restaurant. Makes you not want to eat here. Can't say I've ever really had a great experience here. There are two other Denny's close by. One in seal Beach, and one down the street on Bellflower in Long Beach. Go to those other locations, you will not be disappointed. Even the packaged crackers were stale . read more

I don't go to Denny's expecting top grade food. I come here knowing I'll get a decent meal for a good price. I went here yesterday morning and my food was perfect. My waitress was sweet and attentive. I went to the bathroom and it was clean. I can really appreciate a clean bathroom. Good location. read more

I think our server's name was Linda (tall, blonde, and super on top of her sh**) She was great! I have dietary restrictions and so does my friend who I came with, and Linda + co were able to accommodate us without any trouble at all. Super fast service. Came during a rush on Saturday night/Sunday morning. read more

Josue was an amazing waiter!! He was so kind and was on top of everything! He asked us if we needed anything constantly and never let us down!! read more

Meh. It would have been nice if the server helped grab a high chair for us upon entering, seeing that I was holding my daughter and a large bag with all of her stuff. I didn't know that it was "Git-it-yo-self" service for the high chairs in the back; at every other location they bring one to us. Strike one. Service was slow but then again there was only one (!?) server for the entire restaurant. Did everyone call in sick? Strike two. The food was standard fare; at least the build-your-own slam turned out decent. There were a bit generous with the pancakes which made up for the experience. Average it is then. read more

Their customer service is top tier. The waiters and waitresses work hard to make sure that every customer feels like a friend. Food has always been great. Nothing to complain about. read more

I visited this Denny's not long ago and here is what I thought... Pros: very clean, fast service, friendly staff, manager is very involved with making sure items are correctly given to customers, the surrounding area is nice, this location is generous with portions. Cons: kind of small and restrooms are for one person to use at a time, so you may have to wait to use the restroom. Overall, unless you don't mind waiting to use the restroom the awesome friendly staff and good management is worth visiting this location. read more

I drove out there late at night after midnight. The hosts was eating at the counter. No one was in the restaurant. She tells me that I can not be in her restaurant without a mask. She isn't wearing one she tells me the restaurant will not give me one either. She walks off to the back kitchen to avoid talking. Screw that night mgr. She was a bitch and she is the reason why this location is an absolute dump. I should have done somthing more in that restaurant to show my appreciation. read more

exelente servicio rápidos buena comida exelentes trabajadores

Picked up an order and the worst food I ever tasted and then trashed. Waste of my time and money. They were very rude and which is a first they put their own tip on the check at the top so you don't see it. Denny's is lower garbage food...never will I ever walk into a Denny's again. read more

I've been to a Denny's before and they usually aren't the best of choices on a hungry stomach or after a long night. But just this once I decides to go and take a bite to eat there with my girlfriend and because of our waitress, we agreed to go again. The service there is fast and enjoyable. We ordered a side of sausages and our waitress brought them out in about two minutes (give or take a few seconds). It was the fastest service we ever had with our food and we will go again whenever we get the chance. If Denny's food isn't what always gets you to choose to eat there, then come to this one for their service. read more

If I could, I would give this place negative stars. If Jonny is working, you're all set, and should be well. But, if the manager is working, LEAVE and turn around. I had ordered their new special, blueberry French toast with strawberries. I received blueberry pancakes without strawberries. Then, I got the pancakes with strawberries. Then, I got regular French toast. And finally, I got regular French toast with strawberries. Each time, the manager helped me, or shall I say not helped me. He was angry at me because I supposedly ordered something not on the menu. (What I ordered had a special flap in the menu) He obviously wasn't paying attention to what I was saying as well, and made it harder for both sides. Then, apparently when the bill was split, one of our friends paid for the wrong thing because of the manager working on the cashier. I tried to settle everything maturely, but instead had the manager telling me that I was rude and that he'll pay for it. The whole time I was asking for my order to be corrected I stayed very calm. But I'll admit once the manager finally chose to speak with me, I got a little crazy. Keep in mind that I still never got my right order. This store sucks completely because of the manager, who disrespectfully treats his employers in front of customers. He doesn't help the employees and sits down out front until the booth he's seated at is needed for customers. He never smiles at customers. He has no care in the world about his job, and I don't know why he doesn't leave and get another one. read more

My boyfriend and I were welcomed upon arrival. The staff was really friendly and attentive and consistently checked on us. The restaurant itself wasn't anything too appealing. It was mostly clean, but lacked any kind of wow factor. The food itself was pretty disappointing. I ordered an order of french toast with bacon and sausage. The french toast was good and was very filling. My boyfriend had ordered the ham and cheese omelet. Upon receiving our orders, we both noticed that the cheese in his omelet wasn't even melted and that it was just regular slices of Kraft's cheese. Ugh, gross. Overall, I wouldn't come back here again unless there isn't a better place to go eat breakfast. read more

In Long Beach as my aunt is in the hospital after illness at end of cruise she went on. Saw the 4.99 Grand Slam and thought, why not, cheap and it is Denney's so should be fine. This was THE WORST Denney's I have ever gone to although, I haven't been to one in ages. It was busy, as it was a Sunday morning. Got a seat quickly. Asked for hot tea. Brought me plate with hot water, cup, tea bag, honey and get this.....2 SUGAR PACKS THAT WERE OPENED AND EMPTY!!!! SICK!!! Obviously a used tea and plate. I returned and watched them replace with all new. Got breakfast. I wanted over medium eggs which means "no snot white" yet still loose yolk middle...Nope...it was snotty. My pancakes looked cooked but except for about an inch around edge, middle was still batter. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Awful, awful, awful!!!!! read more

We've been coming to this Denny's for at least seven years and have never had a bad experience. The service is exceptional and everyone is very friendly.

The worst service I've ever received. I showed up on a Tuesday night at 11 PM and Got sat down by the host after waiting at the front for five minutes. Five minutes later he came by and dropped off my water - 20 minutes later and he never came back to take my order, He never once came to apologize or to tell me if I was ready to order. Seriously this place is horrible- stay away read more

I eat here a lot especially late night on the weekend. They normally always get my order right because I always get the t-bone steak and eggs. But tonight instead of giving me steak they gave me pork chop. I told the manager Hector that this is pork and not beef but he said that it was beef. I know the difference between pork and beef. I did Not get a t-bone steak and eggs. I got a pork chop and egg. I mean Hector could of at least said they were out of t-bone steak instead of lying. read more

i love this denny's! everyone always works in a team, the managers alejandra and daniel do such a wonderful job all morning and night.

You get what you pay for. The food isn't horrible but I've had better. This location is better than some of the others. The staff is friendly and very attentive to your needs. Quick and affordable breakfast. read more

Probably one of the worst Denny's ever. I came here with a couple of my friends and we were asked to take a seat. We picked one and sat down. We waited 10-15 mins for someone to greet us. He came (his name is Efren, I believe) and took our order. We all got waters, and order from the menu. I ordered the beyond burger while my friends oredered grand slams. The food took 30 MINUTES to come out and Efren or male server did not check on us at all. Terrible customer service. Our food arrived and it was pretty cold. I was so annoyed that my food was cold but due to my time constraints, i devoured it. Once again, me and my friends are waiting another 15 minutes to pay. Impatient and realizing that we have class at 10:30, my friends and I marched to the counter and paid. Luckily, they were much faster and attentive when receiving payment than when attending to us in general. Overall, a complete pitfall. I'm very disappointed in Denny's due to the fact they are usually better in the mornings. Hopefully my review would urge them to do better. read more

Had a fun and fast friendly service. Our waitress Giselle was awesome. Keep up the good work. Thank you

Went on a Saturday morning approx. 10am Parking is horrible but in hindsight, place is clean, staff is friendly and I still cannot believe how fast my food came out! It literally came out in less than 10 mins of me placing the order. All of it was fresh and hash browns were exactly how i love them. Javier is a wonderful host with a matching personality. You can tell he genuinely takes pride in his job. Kudos to you! read more
