The food took a while to come out but there were 3 other tables that came in right before us and there was only one cook and one waitress. The food was worth the wait! And the new cheesecake pancakes were delicious! They looked gorgeous! I watched as our waitress Cassandra was carefully placing the toppings on it to make it look picture perfect! She is amazing! She was a 1 woman show! No dishwasher, no host, no one else was there to help her with drinks or roll silverware or restock, answer the phone. Just her. She ran from one side of the restaurant to the other to attend to every table. 1 table was very needy and would ask for one thing and she'd come back and ask for something else like 4 times. Even though she had asked if there was anything else she could get at the time they would say no but then ask for something when she got back to the table. She kept her positive attitude and she makes sure her guests are happy and content. Our child has autism and she was very patient and kind with him and got him to love bananas that evening! Thank you Cassandra for your dedication to your work and especially us guests! And you treated everyone there like family or friend... You deserve a raise! The last waitress we had there spent more time on her phone then attending to us or other tables! We will definitely be coming back just for Cassandra​ read more

Empty dining area besides a few tables, same girl looked at us multiple times and couldn't even acknowledge. We were waiting about 10 minutes at host stand just to be ignored. The worst service I've had at a restaurant, we didn't even end up eating here. Don't recommend read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! AT ALL!!! WORSE SERVICE EVER!!! By the time we were finished our food they finally bring my coffee, they bring the rice that was missing and the syrup. After telling them 3 times. Not only that, one table got up and came to us and ask if they can have the syrup that was on our table and than the table in front of us got up and went to the counter and ask for the other syrup. Than by the time we check out we ask if we can just separate one meal from the whole receipt. The audacity to say "next time let us know ahead cause the system won't do it sometimes" lmfao never heard that before. There's no next time. Before you say something like that check the way you're managing your store and serve your customers. read more

Best burger and fries I've had in a long time!! The service was fast and the server kept our drinks full, we never had to ask for a refill. I enjoyed my classic cheeseburger and fries, I will definitely be returning to this Los banos Dennys in the near future!! 10 out of 10 Also it was nice seeing all the workers work so well together read more

I love me some Denny's breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Came by here and grabbed some strawberry cream French toast with a side of eggs and bacon. Had wonderful server and the coffee was always full and delicious! read more

Wouldn't try again, great customer service but horrible experience and environment! Broken roof tops, mix orders!

Epic Service! I came here by myself and had the grand slam. My food was hot and quick! I sat at the bar and the entire team was so enthusiastic and worked well together. The counters were clean and there weren't any leftover dishes lying around. The price point is always good. I loved my experience here! It was quiet and peaceful to enjoy a good breakfast without the overstimulation of a busy breakfast spot! read more

When I came in, they were busy, but I still got sat right away, Katryna was my server, came over with coffee, when I asked for warm syrup she heated it for me, even though busy. Barbara, the manager, checked my table to make sure everything was OK. And even though busy, the floors and the tables were all clean. read more

If I could rate less I would, I want and the lady was super rude.We ordered to go and the pancakes were so small(smaller than my palm when it was suppose to be my entree. I called several times they did not answer. They also charged me 2 dollars for a ranch and they didn't even give it to me. It's honestly the worst service I have ever gotten. Horrible. read more

I visited this location for the first time this weekend and the food was delicious! The service however really was what made my morning!

I don't know what's going on, but Denny's is now such a bad experience they need a total re haul. It's hit and miss. This was again a miss. . The one in Los Banos is so poorly run it begs a comment. We were returning from Cancer treatment at UCSF and found a cold understaffed place where we had to wait a long time for our food. I had to ask for a coke refill because it seems they don't like giving you one unless you ask. One particular manager is very tight. When she topped it off for the long drive home it was only half filled. She claimed the dispenser was broke.The worst thing is I had a 10.00 off 30.00 or more purchase but was denied it because the manager said it was expired. She said it was expired " yesterday" which was Dec 11, but we visited on Dec 12, and I had an email from Denny's at 9:30 AM on 12/12 saying I had 10.00 till 12/22. So she was either cheap or didn't read it right. They are just very very tight there and do not want to give you refills unless you ask for one and do not want to honor your discount. Needless to say, my lady and I are finished going there, and I will be protesting my 30.19 bill. Many Denny's are freezing now. They also seem to be uncomfortable with white people in some of them. They cater to one group. PS- I don't need a call from the owner saying " sorry we will do better." because unless you give them a great rating all you do is get " we will do better" As an additional comment, as you can see underneath the response was the usual bullshit. They never compensate. All they do is tell you " we will do better." They do respond positively when complimented. No wonder they have such a low rating in CA. Some advice. Learn Spanish. They love it! read more

We were so impressed with the service received by Jimena- she was friendly, courteous, and so efficient. she checked on us to make sure our meal was to our liking. she refilled our coffee without us asking. she made our dining experience very enjoyable. she is a wonderful example to teach others how to keep customers comin back. read more

I ordered chicken fried steak and I noticed that there was no meat in my chicken fried steak!!! I told the waitress and she was shocked to see that And how the cook didn't catch it !! I will never eat there again or even recommend it to anyone . read more

Haven't been to Dennys in years. Stopped here for a quick lunch and was surprised to have such amazing service and decent food. I think the standards have gone up since I was last here.

We had the most wonderful service early this morning! Marvin greeted us warmly with such a happy demeanor and kept the coffee coming on a freezing morning. We ordered from both the value menu and the regular menu and we loved the fluffy pancakes and French toast. My son got the breakfast sandwich on the value menu and would definitely order that again and really worth the price! Barbara the manager was very friendly and gave us a hearty goodbye on our way out. My boys and I had had a very nice breakfast and great family time this morning at Dennys Los Banos. read more

The waitress took my drink order then brought me my drink took my food order. Brought the food out but never came back to see if I needed anything else. When she did come she brought me the ticket to pay. I then told her I needed a container for the food she brought the container and she walked away quickly never got to tell her I needed napkins I wanted a to go cup for my drink but like I said she walked away. They never bought the bread that goes with salmon meal. I don't know if they were out? read more

Here at Dennys and let me just say .... Katryna thank you for the amazing customer service!!!!!!!!! It's been years since I've had customer service like this !!!!!!!!!!!! Food 10/10 Customer service 10/10 read more

tis place is better than the rallys here in los banos i had tis like brisket thing that was good

Came in and left after waiting over 40 minutes for our meal to be served. I did have two cups of coffee in that period of time (which was difficult to get...had to ask for my refill and then wait for that!). There were so many employees cleaning tables, talking in the back, doing lots of other things. For some reason our server, Cassie, seemed to be unable to wait on us, despite being able to wait on other people who came in after us as well as serve them their meals. Maybe it had something to do with the cooks back there and not her but usually if your table is being ignored, a good server will approach the cook just to make sure the ticket did not get misplaced or lost. Whatever the reason, we got up and left and went to pay for our coffee at the front. The hostess saw us approaching the cash register and apologized and said don't worry about the coffee, it's on us. So even the other employees noticed that we weren't getting served. I'm sad to say Los Banos Denny's has become like this. Maybe it's time to try IHOP again. This was such a negative experience for us. read more

Anna was our server. From beginning to the end she was terrific. She is truly 5 star. The work her and the others do is hard on your feet and into the late evening read more

We were on a family trip to Lake Tahoe from Southern California (500+ miles) and were starving. We didn't know where to stop. Thanks to my navigation system, Denny's in Los Banos was the first known restaurant to come up. Never been to Los Banos. Didn't even know there was a city called Los Banos. We were not sure what to expect but as soon as we walked in, the hostess could not have been more welcoming. We then had the sweetest, warmest and and most professional server by the name of Katrina. Every server could learn from her how to treat customers. First of all, she welcomed us with a big joyful smile and introduced herself. I also thought it was so thoughtful that when I ordered my meal, she asked me if I wanted it exactly the way it was in the picture. So sweet! Thank you Katrina!!! The food was delicious. I'm a health nut and ordered the Veggie Omelette. Didn't think Denny's could pull it off but it was so good I can't wait to order it again. Most delicious tomatoes I've ever had. My wife loved her "Cali Club" & my 16 years old son inhaled his Grand Slam. The food & Katrina's pleasant personality gave us the strength for the second half of our long drive to Tahoe. Next time we travel to Northern California, we will make a special trip to this Denny's and definitely will ask for Katrina. You should too. What a wonderful experience! read more

I will try and keep this brief because i have a lot to say. I will say that Dennys is a good resturant for many reasons but it wasnt my first choice to eat at. Since my daughter had a special request, we took her to Dennys. We were greeted by a very pleasant server named Jacquelyn and she seated us. She then promptly let us know that due to unforseen circumstances, they were out of many items. Let me say that I was so happy she led with that because she saved us a bunch of time. Customer service goes a long way and as a multiple business owner, I hold that at the highest regard. I have left many nice establishments behind lack of it! Moving along, Jacquelyn was a peach, she answered all of our questions, brought our food out and made sure that we felt taken care of and comfortable at all times. My 8 year old went as far as to say that she felt so well taken care of that she was the best server she had ever had! I can go on and on about her but long story short, Dennys has now become my go to eating place in Los Banos! I would be remiss if I left out the chefs though. There was the usual chef and a new one. They took slightly longer to bring the food out but again we got an explanation and frankly it wasnt that bad of a wait. The food was so good though! The original chef has always been great and I appreciate him taking time to train the new chef! It takes a team! They both are amazing in our books! The left overs were so tastey! So if you have reserves about this Dennys, dont! Come see what I saw and be treated well and eat some delicious food! See you there! read more

Im from out of town. Happen to have breakfast here. Today Monday June14th. Was order steak for both of me and my girl. I may order wrong since she wants medium well and mine was medium rare.

The restaurant was super busy at the time but all the people work here handle all customer in really good way and chill. 5 Stars All the wayyy read more

A couple years ago, this white lady was racist to us because we were asian. She didn't want to serve Asians. She treated us like trash. This place is horrible, kicked almost all Asians out or refused to serve us. I don't know if she got fired. Please all Asian families! Don't go here. When a Mexican and American person came, she treated them nicely. Very racist and unfair. This is what my father and other friends and families had told me the experience there as an Asian. This is why this place is 2.5 stars. It may change soon. Thank you for reading this! -A popular YouTuber read more

I stopped in last evening and had a great overall experience. Starting with my server, Angela who was attentive and very helpful with suggestions, everything was top-notch. I had the senior salmon dinner; with mixed vegetables, wild rice & garlic toast. It was the best salmon meal I've ever had. The cook, George got the seasonings just right; my meal was comparable to a high end restaurant. I'm very pleased that I chose Denny's last night. read more

Ana S. is a wonderful server! Our food is always served quickly, as ordered, and hot. The food is consistently good. The Los Banos Dennys is a great place to stop! read more

Today I had the most courteous server. I know it's "just Denny's" however, I was impressed with how Katryna handled as many people as she did and still provided above level customer service. I only didn't give 5 stars because they need to turn up the A/C or maybe provide some fans. Lol Still a good enough experience for me to write a review though read more

There are only ever two people serving/hosting/running food. The young man that helped us was very kind, but whoever was cooking doesn't know the menu and or was asleep cooking the food. My order first came out with raw hashbrowns with a bunch of black crap on them. When I asked for new ones that were cooked my omelette looked touched and had three different cheeses in it. There was white cheese, a kraft singles slice(?) and then like three shreds of cheddar that is normally inside of it on the top. There was also barely any bacon. The pancakes I ordered didn't even come out until after the new set of hashbrowns came out and whoever the woman "manager" was done playing with my sent back food. I literally watched them sit there and investigate the meal I sent back. She didn't even offer to come over. My bf got a salad that was just browning iceberg lettuce and a little chicken and no egg on his egg-cellent Cobb salad. They never asked us if we wanted refills but they sure as heck had no problem charging us $4 an iced tea and 14 for the mediocre salad. We've been here a few times and had good service and good food(literally the exact same thing was ordered which is how I know it wasn't right) even with the only two people on the floor, but today that was not the case. Very disappointed. read more

Ok so my question is.... Is Dennys a restaurant or a daycare? I ask because i was there on Wednesday Oct.9.2024 Employees had their kids running all over the restaurant crying being loud. I understand is a family restaurant but as an employee you have to have respect towards us guests. For my understanding it was the managers kids. I say this because one server made the comment and even added that the kids had been there all morning, That even the baby had slept there. She also added that she was going to offer the manager to go home with her kids because it was to much. The server was even serving coffee caring the baby. Imagine if she burned that poor child. There is a boundary between work and personal life, at this stage that boundary was beyond past. Sometimes we just want to go in enjoy a quiet peaceful place with a exquisite hot cup of coffee but we come to kids running all over. I don't understand if the Store Manager/Owner allows this but to be honest this is the first time I experience a situation like this. Hopefully I don't encounter this again.

The customer service was amazing considering how big our group was and the food was as well delicious the reason i'm giving three stars is because there were a ton of flies flying around and landing on our food and drinks and it wasn't fun having to swat a fly away every five seconds we could even turn to talk for a second without a fly coming to our food. read more
