    On the way to Pfeifer Falls Trail at Big Sur, we wanted to have some breakfast before climbing up the trail. We found this one on the way and we stopped by. It's on one way street which we didn't know it has a parking lot so we parked on the street because we don't want to u-turn if we missed the parking lot. Anyhow, the restaurant is nice and clean, also showed its age a little. We're seated right away, the server was extremely attentive and pleasant, wonderful. We love the superslam from Denny's the last time we tried after years of missing it. We both ordered the superslam as usual, everything came out perfectly cooked. We're quite happy. The hash browns were our favorite because we can't make them, always crispy outside and moist inside. The butter pan cakes, the crispy bacons, the sausages and scrambled eggs were excellent. A perfect breakfast before a hike. Denny's now is our official breakfast restaurant LOL.

    Busy! North Fremont Street area is the less expensive "Hotel Row" near the Monterey County fairgrounds.

    I really appreciate this business, being open 24/7. A warm friendly place to go, when needed. Very American cuisine, especially delicious breakfast items: with a 55+ smaller portion and prices option. They also honor AAA, AARP discount deals: if you are a card carrier member. Thank you very much! App special offers are available. Like complimentary birthday Grand Slam breakfast, yummy! This location is not as modern as others, but the location on a motel row, keeps it convenient and easy to use.

    Love love love Dennys! So many great options to choose from at a good price, great coffee and excellent service. Love the old times feel and the nostalgia I have of growing up and coming here as a kid

    You tell me if I'm full is shit and just exaggerating

    Showed up at 1am , they said it was a 30 minute wait because the cook was going to take a lunch break, it is now 1:50 am and not one person has came to help up . The server said they do not know when he will be back and here we are waiting like idiots to get served . I guess it's not 24/7 since we havnt been served for nearly an hour . There is a worker just lounging with a beer with another employee . My question is, is that the damn cook ? Fkn BS

    I ordered eggs, with sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes to go. The eggs were cooked perfectly (over medium). The hashbrowns were browned well and good. The sausage was almost inedible -- the quality is awful. It tastes like you are just eating fat with no flavor. The pancakes were alright. I'm giving three stars because the service was very quick. It was ready in less than 10 mins. But overall, just ok.

    Best damn breakfast I've had. 10/10

    Sooo yummy. 10/10 best breakie I've had in years. Will go back again every time I'm here.

    Denny's before 17-Mile Drive Can't say our experience was bad but also not the best... but it's Denny's, can't expect much. Came here for breakfast, the restaurant was packed and it took awhile for us to be seated. We got a table. Staff was busy running around: serving, bussing, cleaning, perhaps short-staffed. Came here for breakfast before starting our drive to Carmel. Our server came and took our orders, although we had ample time to look at the menu we felt a little rushed while placing our orders. I chose the Triple Double Slam -- two buttermilk pancakes (or choice of one slice of French toast or a biscuit & gravy), bacon and eggs. Simple but filling and everything was yummy. Hubby got the All-American Slam. Average Denny's. Solid option for breakfast. The cashier who rang our tab was super nice. Review #2595

    We went to The Pocket on our last night in Carmel Beach. It was a beautiful evening outside with…read morefire lamps and a large fire pit creating such a cozy atmosphere. The setting actually reminded me of restaurants in Naples, Florida. The restaurant filled up quickly around dinner time, which added a lively energy to the night. The food was good, but I was a little disappointed about the vegan options. I had called ahead to ask what could be made vegan and was told that several dishes could be adjusted by removing certain ingredients. When we arrived, our waitress shared a different set of limitations, which made the ordering process a bit challenging. I still found something to enjoy, but I wish the information had been more consistent. Overall, we had a lovely experience at The Pocket. The ambiance is wonderful, the service was kind, and the location makes it a nice spot for a relaxed evening in Carmel Beach. I would consider returning, especially if the plant based options become more clear and consistent.

    Service - 2.5/5: waitress was nice enough but couldn't talk about the food much and seemed…read moreindifferent at times. Service overall was lacking for what's passing as an upscale restaurant - we were left with no serving utensils at times or they took plates away to refresh but they were never replaced until asked. Food - 1/5: overall, drinks were okay and food was lackluster. Main dish was undercooked - we got blue steak and asked for medium rare. Our octopus appetizer was also cold and it came out questionably fast. Accompaniments were all over salted and everything else we got was just so-so. Nothing particularly good or memorable. Ambiance - 2/5: nothing really special indoors. Decor is a bit plain and outdated. I was quite disappointed we passed on our go-to restaurant to try this spot after the meal concluded. I would not come back.
