It's 24/7, sigh, only if you must. It's really not good. On the I-5 right off the I-46 (Paso Robles) off-ramp, is perhaps the largest stops you'll find along the SF-LA route. Lots of gas stations and fast foods galore. Denny's, sigh, is the only "restaurant" among them. It has all the Denny's items, full menu, but it's sub-par all the way. Food is greasy, salty, and highly mediocre. I've been a few times, and sometimes it's a must stop, especially if you have others with you who need a full sitdown break from the drive. But I'm telling you, try to avoid. It steals all my positivity, I don't even think about doing my Yelp check-in! read more

Stopped here in the morning on our drive from Phoenix to SF. I wouldn't have expected to have such a good meal at Denny's, but this place really changed my perspective. Food was very good, presented well, and fresh. The servers were very friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Nothing bad to say about this location, and if we're ever on a road trip on 5 again, we'll stop here. read more

I was hoping to have a nice sit down lunch. They left bacon off my bacon burger and actually pot this rotten ass lettuce on there. Why would the cook do this? read more

Stopped to have lunch and we were very impressed with this location . very friendly employees and food was tasty and fast

Stopped by for a late breakfast. Trinidad was our server and she was very attentive and friendly. Great customer service! The food was good and filling. The Lost Hills Denny's is always a safe bet for good food and good service on I-5. read more

Server was nice & efficient. There was a piece of corn cooked into my pancake. And the pancakes themselves- pumpkin-something special flavor- I liked that they had nuts, but had some additional flavors that made me gag. Maybe they didn't clean the grill before cooking, I don't know. But it tasted disgusting. Masked with syrup. Between that and the corn, it just tells me they need something positive to happen in the kitchen. I wouldn't order a salad from here. At least if it's contaminated, order something that has to be cooked to avoid illness. Besides this, the restroom was so-so. Not what I would call clean, but not filthy. Equipped with everything a restroom should have. read more

Horrible customer service . Untrained staff . Not clean . Long wait times even for Denny's

This review is based on one time I dined here passing through. It's right off the freeway, so it's a good stopping point on a road trip. Food was decent. French toast was great but everything else was super greasy. BLT was not as good as at other Denny's locations and was dripping grease, with not enough lettuce and barely any tomato in there. Tables looked like they had been cleaned. Server checked in on us to see if we needed anything and was friendly. The only thing was that the bathroom was dirty so I couldn't use it and a soap dispenser was empty. And the server had long fake nails, which is a violation of California food handler codes due to the germs that get trapped under the nails. read more

The service was by far exceptional. Esmeralda was great! Food was okay although the crispy bacon was not crispy. But I am giving the 5 stars based on the service. Glad we stopped at this Dennys in our was from Southern California to Northern California read more

Wondering why it was given such a poor rating. I give it a 4.5 Very clean. We were seated immediately. The service by Esme was beyond excellent. The icing on the cake - excellent food. And to top it all - the location couldn't be better - just off the freeway!!! Nice Dennys. Pl visit it. You won't be disappointed! Rajani read more

My fiancé and I stopped in for a quick bite and to relax for a minute. I want to acknowledge a young lady by the name of Nathaly B. Our service from her was fantastic. It's been a while since we've had service like this. Nathaly went over and beyond what was expected. She had a cheerful attitude, she was very attentive to our needs. I would also like to say that this Denny's was amazingly clean. The food was great. Our food came out very quickly and hot. What a nice surprise for a change because honestly we haven't had service and yummy food in quite a while, so THANK YOU, Nathaly B and Denny's for a wonderful experience we had at the Lost Hills location!! read more

My daughter has celiacs disease. Asked Mayra F. for gluten free muffin. She said "ok". She confirmed it was gluten-free when it arrived. She later informed us that they no longer carry gluten-free muffins. Claimed she hadn't heard our request. My daughter got very sick. read more

One word: terrible. Terrible customer service, below-average food, and just a bad experience. My family and I came here at 9:45 am, just as a pit stop to LA. We got our DRINKS after waiting for at least 30 minutes. My sister ordered the horchata milkshake and pointed it out on the menu. 45 minutes pass by and she decided to cancel it, and the waitress said "oh I thought you wanted the dessert". WTF??? We only ordered 2 full plates of food and 1 appetizer. The "loaded nachos tots" were oily, mushy, and just plain disgusting with all the excess sour cream. It looked like it was just mashed together by a kid LOL! The pancakes tasted straight out of the box. Everything seemed to be out of a microwave. Nothing was even up to par. I rarely seemed to be surprised, but wow that was disgusting. read more

If anything I'd highly recommend eating at a Denny's along I-5 rather than stopping at the places which seem to be independantly run. At least here, we got a huge breakfast at a decent price. Although overly salty, my grand slam breakfast hit the spot at 11pm when we were just too tired to go any further, but wanted to keep driving a little longer. The service was excruciatingly slow at this time of night, but there was only one person in the kitchen and one behind the counter. There were 3 gals ahead of us getting take out and so we weren't seated until they had been taken care of. There was another diner in there besides us, but other than that, that was it. The food arrived and we devoured it because we were starving. Still, I was happy with it and it cost me less than $15 for 2 breakfasts, a juice and a coffee. Basically you get what you expect to get and for that, I think it's a good deal. read more

Food is good, hot served. However it takes them so long to make them, and i felt like we were being ignored because we were so hungry and they didn't ask us what to order for like 30 minutes. I like the spicy skillet. It is full flavored and I ordered it with extra sunny side up eggs. The smash corn is really good, smash potato is salty in my opinion. Nachos was good also, but still a little salty. read more

Dinner at this Dennys location was pretty excellent. Service was slow at first, but once our food came it picked up. I ordered the Mediterranean chicken with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The chicken was topped with diced tomatoes and feta cheese (the Mediterranean part), which paired perfectly with the chicken. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection as well. The broccoli had a nice, buttery taste, like the pre-buttered them for me. I loved it. It was just the right amount to still feel healthy without sacrificing flavor. The mashed potatoes were my favorite part, mostly because I was expecting cheap, potato flake type mashed potatoes, and instead I received real mashed red-skinned potatoes. Also seasoned perfectly. The problem with this location is the location of the restaurant itself. It resides in the town of Lost Hills. If you have never been here, I don't recommend you start now. The traffic is so bad it took us close to thirty minutes just to leave town, and the town is not that big. Stop here at your own risk, and maybe if you're not in too big of a hurry. read more

The food looked just like the pictures on menu, the service was outstanding, the food was fast and hot, just superbly done. Very much appreciated. read more

Eggs are eggs, bacon is cold and not crisp. Pancakes were served upside down the first time because the upside was more burned. Dumb move. Isn't it easier to just fix it before the customer has to send it back? The second pancakes were good but it takes forever to get syrup out of their stupid bottles. read more

8/5/19: Came here with my boyfriend around 1am and we were seated basically the minute we walked through the door. I used the bathroom and it smelled good and was clean. We ordered the butter Sirloin steak with two sides of Southwest Jalapeño Creamed Corn. The food also came super fast and tasted great. We asked for A1 sand extra butter for the garlic bread and we were promptly accommodated. read more

Just left Here after having breakfast ( not my choice I never eat at Denny's). There were 8 of us and since the restaurant wasn't packed were sat immediately, it was was great. Then waiting 10 minutes I had to get up and ask for coffee. We ordered our meals and when the food came out it was cold.. 6 of our 8 meals. Didn't send the food back because we didn't want any issues with the cooks or servers. I didn't eat mine too it to go and will give it to a homeless person. On our trip today read more

There's a reason I stopped going to Denny's ans today reminded why. The breakfast was cold and I asked for crispy hash browns and crispy bacon. The bacon was limp so I nicely asked for it to be cooked over big mistake. They brought back so hard I could barely chew it. So I asked why they microwaved it the waitress said the deep fried it!!!!! Seriously I sent it back and I told the manager there's a way to make it crispy as I worked in Dennys years ago and saw how they did. Never again read more

We stopped in for breakfast after a four hour trip from Los Angeles. It was not busy - pretty calm actually. We were promptly greeted and seated in a booth - close to the door. Alejandra was our waiter. She was friendly enough and took our drink order and in just a few minutes we were enjoying our beverages. I had coffee - which was okay - not the best, but it's Denny's. I am okay with that. We ordered and waited for our food to arrive. After what seemed to be a long wait, our food finally (20 - 25 minutes) arrived.I had the Loaded veggie Omelette. It was okay at best. Just not put together nicely and not tasty - just tolerable. My wife had the Waffle - which appeared to be hot and she enjoyed it. I especially liked the pour spout on the syrup. It was one that you typically see on booze bottles in bars. It limits the flow and you can point the bottle and direct the syrup. Our friends ordered the Grand Slamwich and the Blueberry Pancake Breakfast. When the food was delivered the blueberry pancakes were not ready yet and she said she would be right back with them. it had to have been 15 minutes before they FINALLY arrived. How long can it take to make pancakes? She said the were good and they certainly looked good, but I have made pancakes before and they don't take that long to make. (35 minutes??) I dont usually eat at Denny's and this is why. Sometimes they are okay but usually they are just like this one. I did like the little messages on the sides of the coffee cups... read more

After reading the reviews my boyfriend and I were very hesitant about eating here, but YOLO and the next batch of food was another 30 mins up the road. After eating here, we've come to realize that the majority of reviews are just whiners. I don't know what kind of magical Denny's y'all go to, but this location is perfectly acceptable. Food - fine Service - fine Clean restaurant and restrooms. It's Denny's. read more

Bad food and bad service ever. Pan cakes were undercook, we couldn't eat them at all, I told them, they dont even wanted to take them back and gave us new ones. I told them again at check out but all they said is "really". Beside that, everything was really bad, couldn't enjoy steak that looking so white. I thought it was pork at first look. Absolutely never come back. read more

Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service I received from Esme this morning. Best service I've received by far. Very sweet girl and even though one of her tables was giving her a difficult time for no reason (wasn't eve's dropping, they were just loudly rude to her) she still kept a very calm demeaner and continued being cheerful. The world needs more people like Esme. read more

Denny's - Burned steak - Diners Near Me - Lost Hills, California

We've been here before and the first time was really good. This time was just so very poor. When we walked in today it looked like business was slow; only three tables were full. But our wait to get noticed by our server for a greeting and any water/coffee was over 45 minutes. There were people that came in after us that ordered, ate and left before we even saw our server. I had to go up to the register and ask for water. Once we received that from the manager(?), our server came over to ask about drinks. We ordered drinks and the food at once. Our waitress served her larger table that was there after us, she served another table of two that was there after us and while she served the larger table again, she had two plates left on the tray that she took to the back towards the kitchen. It was our food...a few minutes later she brought our plates out. My side of fries was warm, my fish was hot and my broccoli was ice cold. I sent it back and advised I didn't want anything else. My husband's food was the same, hot entree and warm side. He was ok with it. Our server didn't come back to check to see how everything was. I had to get up again to ask for a refill of my husband's drink. The manager never came over to say anything about my food i sent back. Our server did apologize for the food and towards the end she when she brought the refill that I asked for, she stated, "I'm sorry. I've been running around." I'm not sure if it was a training issue, or just a lack of attention/team work/support on management's part, but it is a good thing to circle around to the tables that you have. Greetings, drinks and even a quick disclosure of being busy would have left me with a feeling of attentiveness that would have carried over in the experience. There was nothing and a general ambiance of no care for customer service. This was pretty bad service. I am not sure if we will come back anytime soon. read more

My family of three stopped by here at 7:35pm on Feb. 3. I didn't expect much since it is a Denny's but our waitress (whom's name I forgot) was super sweet and helpful. The food was good as well. read more

It is a Denny's so you get what you pay for. That being said food was okay but took awhile and the bathrooms were closed.

Oh Denny's, how very disappointed I am. If you are thinking of going here. DONT. You would be better off on an empty stomach. First, it took us 5 minuets to be seated with no one waiting to be seated. One of the waiters seated us, not even the hostess. We then received our menus, and choose our food with in 2 mins of being seated. We closed our menus and waited for our order to be taken. It wasn't for another 15 mins. After ordering, it took another 30 to receive 3 pancakes, which I can make at home In about 2 minuets. As I was sitting there, the booth next to us was being cleaned up and as that happened the person cleaning the table spilt milk on me. She didn't really do anything but apologize. I then realized that the clock was off by a hour. Last time I checked, day lights savings wasn't any time soon. The food was below average. My 11 year old sister makes better pancakes, and hers are not thawed out and microwaved. Anyways, I did not tip. I couldnt believe that I actually had to pay for that garbage. The building was really gross. Our booth was really gross. I sat on the edge of my seat the whole time because I was to grossed out to actually sit in the booths. Overall, DONT GO HERE. There are so many better places to buy food along I-5. read more

Denny's - The all you can eat pancakes. - Diners Near Me - Lost Hills, California

This is really a reminder to myself never to stop here again on our I-5 road trips. The service is extremely slow (even when they're not busy) and the food is so-so. I ordered the "loaded veggie omelet". Our server had no idea of whether the kitchen cooked their eggs with milk because "it all comes prepackaged". It was supposed to be a "fit fare" item and it was completely loaded with salt! Plus, we are in a hurry to get back on the road (aren't diners supposed to be quick?) and our meal takes an hour to arrive. Oh yes, they also served the adults first and made the kids wait. "They are still cooking the oatmeal" says our server. At least the coffee was ok. read more

Just horrible. Got seated and then had to wait 15 mins for someone to come take our drink/food order as we already knew what we wanted. Each time the waitress walked by she would stop and tell us she'll be back in one moment. Finally ordered and had to wait 35 mins for the food to come out. With us there are 10 people in the restaurant. All other tables already have their food. Horrible. people should just go to one of the other drive thrus nearby. Marcy I believe her name is made up for the horrible service and wait time. Even with the bad she made the experience so much better read more

This is not the Ritz, it's Denny's, and here at Lost Hills a very good one for the chain. I found the staff to be friendly, service to be prompt, cleanliness to be high, food to be delicious with generous portions, and prices to be great (visit on 6/11/2021). Need I say more? (don't understand why this spot would get weak reviews, unless the management has changed(?).) note: I do NOT work for Denny's or have a vested interest in the company! read more
