Typical Denny's food. But the parking lot has an amazing view of the valley :)

The staff is nice here - especially the Manager (I don't remember her name but she was middle age with glasses and curly hair). Unfortunately they were severely short handed during our visit with only one server on duty and the manager helping her cover about 8 tables. Needless to say it took about 20 minutes to place our order and another 25 or so to receive it so if you're in a hurry and traveling like we were, you better plan on spending some time waiting. I had a veggie burger thing and it was one of the worst I've tasted. My aunt and father had an egg white omelet and some pancake thing and they said there's was OK. The banana smoothie was delicious also and at 1.99 an outstanding bargain. read more

Had breakfast here on the way to Reno. Service is excellent. Janis our waitress was great. The food was good. Made good hash browns

First of all it took more then ten minutes to get some dam drinks. Second there wasn't even that much people in the restaurant. Third I got a cup of water with lipstick on it. The food wasn't even that good and the customer service was okay not the greatest. I wouldn't consider eating here unless it's your last resort! read more

Not only is the service excellent and the food always good and timely, the people that work there are exceptionally nice and warm. The manager is one of the very best I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my 66 years. Besides all of this, its parking lot has the best view ever. My family and I highly recommend this Denny's above all others! read more

A good and reliable Denny's, the menu is all American and service is fast and friendly. Better than most Denny's despite a busy location. Nice view of the Sacramento valley is a plus. Clean. Probably best for breakfast, the menu is extensive. Lunch OK. Dinner is so so. read more

Cherri was an amazing server!!! So thankful she was working when we went in for a late night snack. The remodel looks great and glad there is still a Denny's close to us since both Denny's locations in Auburn are closed. read more

Heading back from reno with my family stop here for a bite to eat..... Amazing job they did tonight.. Management should give them more help though. Our server Gina was great we watched her run food cash people out to back in the kitchen to taking our order. The food came out hot correct little wait though be we understood because we saw how busy she was and doing everything alone on a friday night for still smiling thru it all and making my family enjoy a nice meal before home... Well be back next trip down read more

I have visited this Denny's on many occasions and have never had any problems. I have noticed there seems to be a few complaints about this establishment. Some of the complaints pertain to being ignored, rude, etc. etc., or even arguing with a customer. Come on people some these complaints are over exaggerated a bit. (Sounds like your trying to get free food) Rudy runs a tight crew and he does what he is suppose to do according to his corporate rules. The crew does what they are suppose to do following Rudy's rules that come down upon him from corporate standards. If you feel like you are being ignored, why not say something instead of going on here to bad mouth the worker when in fact they could be busy and the only one working the floor, while other tables are wanting this and that when in fact the server is trying the best to get to your table because they know that they need to get there. I have been in here when the server was the only one on the floor (Barbie was one of them twice when we came in) and 7 tables have come in all at the same time. If there is only one server, you should at least have some kind of patience. They try to get to each and every one of you because you all important to them. So before you come on Yelp and bad mouth a person, maybe you should see what is happening in the establishment first before you get someone in trouble for not being truthful, or over exaggerating things. I love this place and the people who work there. They work hard and try to make everyone happy. Just have patience and understanding on where they are coming from. You are just as important as the next person. read more

We just stopped here for lunch. Although the food was great, we really felt sorry for the one and only waitress working ALL of the tables on the dining room side during the lunch hour. She was literally running to keep up and was even bussing her own tables! We blame the Manager for caring more about his bottom line than customer service. read more

Just spent the night up sick as a dog just now starting to get over it it 1 o'clock the next day. you can smell the old oil as you walk in the door I knew better than to eat there, it has a reputation for having over oily food is not all that great, but I did. My bad decision. I decided to take a stand and take the food to the manager to possibly give them feedback on how bad it was since at one point in my life I worked as a professional cook for two years. I was treated rudely dismissive ,I will never eat there again and I highly recommend you don't. Horrible!!! read more

This dennys is super friendly. Our favorite server is barbie. She is always so nice and always puts smiley faces and extra whip cream on my 5 year olds pancakes. They are also very fast and accurate with to-go orders read more

The food is great and the service is amazing!!!! The waitress even mashed a banana up for my baby.

This was probably the most worst Denny service I have ever been to, we waited 30 minutes for a soda refill, also waiting a good 45 minutes for our food& saw a manager on his phone texting while this lady was waiting at the cash register for about 30 seconds until he noticed her standing there. Someone needs to help this place because it was complete crappy service..... get some help. read more

Stopped to eat dinner on our way back from Reno. Male waiter was super busy. Seemed to be the only waiter. He was very attentive. Before we left a female waitress seemed to have taken over our table. She seemed rude but tried to be funny. Went to pay and asked for our waiter and she blurted our "he was sent home for saying something to someone". So we were able to see him outside getting ready to drive away. Stopped him and gave him his well deserved tip. He seemed very professional but seemed to be frustrated with not having any help. I'm a former waitress/manager and my observation was this Denny's needs to hire more help! read more

My family comes here all the time. The service has gotten so much better. Manager and servers are so friendly.

Hey, it's Denny's. That means the chef's special recipes for foie gras, and reducion le creme de fromage avec pigeon are NOT on the menu. But It IS Denny's done well. Aside from friendly and efficient staff, check out the decor. We were there around Christmas time and the decorations inside would put Macy's Hearld Square window dressers to shame. Easy off/on for I-80 (through the ramp terminus should be re-engineered). read more

Denny's in Newcastle just reopened after being closed for 10 days for a remodel. I live close and love the burgers at Denny's and went there a few nights ago. What a surprise! The remodel looks fantastic. All of the waiters/waitress have always been terrific, and Carol is especially wonderful. Good job to everyone from the servers to the people who worked the remodel. read more

I love this dennys I come here almost everyday lol the manager Rudy is AWESOME! He always makes sure your food is ready on time and looking fantastic also his waiters are always nice. I love this Dennys and I'm sure you will too. read more

this location has a small town feel, 45 vinyl records are dangling around the entryway and throughout the dining room which looks like a '50s dinner. mostly older folks it being a weekday and I imagine some of these diners are also on their way to Reno like us. read more

Hey... it's Denny's. We live local and sometimes go here for breakfast and sometimes dinner. I order stuff I figure is hard to mess up--slams, burgers, and this time of year pumpkin pancakes. Usually the food is okay. We were there for breakfast this past Sunday and I ordered the pumpkin pancakes and they delivered regular pancakes. The server was young and probably inexperienced and I said to her: "Are those pumpkin pancakes?" to which she said "um, yeah." Don't think she knew the difference, frankly. It was busy and we'd waited long enough so I didn't pursue sending them back. Also, lately they've been very short staffed so customers wait to get waited on and then wait to have their orders delivered. The place sure could use a remodel--looks very drab but as someone else mentioned it does have that great view of the Sacramento Valley. read more

My mother and I are pretty local to the area and on occasion we stop in for a bite to eat; however, service is always bad and the food is typical frozen everything. Today we had a waitress who was so rude and lazy that we only got checked on twice and the second time was to put our check on the table. She also ignored her other tables and any attempt to flag her down for anything. Upon going to the register to pay I told another waiter about my awful experiance and he gave me two 5 dollar cupons...which expired two weeks ago. I will never eat at this place again the foods so so, the place is dirty and the staff is awful. I honestly only gave this place one star so I could write the review. read more

Probably the slowest service I've ever had. Didn't even have silverware to eat my food with till I asked.. but honestly I almost fell asleep at my table because it took ridiculously long. Fuck this dennys read more

Came here after a long road trip only to find bloody silverware on not just one but two of our tables sets, brought it to the managers attention and he just shrugged.. an apetizer killer for sure. WILL NOT DINE HERE OR SUGGEST TO ANYONE read more

This is the worst food I have ever had. I have been all over the u.s and just got back from afghanistan returned home to newcastle and was very hungry had bad food from them before but I tried again big mistake especially my first meal back in the u.s for over 1 year. On saturday night 2 weeks ago I ordered a steak to take home when I got home to eat I could not even chew it. Went to bed hungry. Thanks dennys in newcastle for a terible food experience once again. read more

I had breakfast with my kids this morning and I have never seen such a hard working group of ladys.Also the manager was very active as well. Fast service even though it was very busy. read more

Well it's a typical Denny's not too bad for what is expected and this location is actually one of the better ones as far as service goes. Our waitress Jennifer was awesome! read more

My Husband and I love Denny's but this has got to be the worse one ever. We walk in and there's only two people it looked as if they already got their food and was getting ready to go, we sat down NO ONE has greeted us or even noticed us at this point. Approx 15 minutes goes by and another couple walks in the cashier is standing at the register and doesn't even greet them either, they sat down 5 minutes goes by and still nothing. I walk up to the register where the cashier-waitress was bagging containers she walked right in front of me twice and still never acknowledged me. Finally she says I will be with you in a minute. I went back and sat down waitress comes over and we tell her we already know what we want she says OK hold on and walks over to hand menus to the other couple, who tell her they want coffee and she tells them they have to wait because there is another table ahead of them. So of course I chime in and advise her to being 4 cups of coffee, she says OK. Just then another couple walks in and they are happily greeted, seated and asked if they would like coffee the couple says yes and they was asked what kind of creamer. My Husband tells me, we weren't even told there was a choice of creamer. Just then the waitress walks to the counter carrying a large tray so I loudly tell her that we will take both kinds of creamer she turns looking shocked that I even knew they had creamer. Waitress comes out with large tray of food I quickly think oh wow OK maybe this isn't so bad......remember the first couple that was here when we arrived? Yep it was their food....they were barely getting their food needless to say the 2nd couple and my husband and I panicked thinking we are going to be here a long time. Long story short I supplied the other couple with the creamer they desired because she never brought them any we got our coffee 10 minutes after first couple for their food and we had to bang spoons on our cups for a refill. They treat you like crap unless they know your name and truly act as if you are stopping them from going home or closing and THEY ARE 24 HOURS WTF. They aren't making that owner crap. This place was empty and I see why. read more

Enjoyed a fine breakfast today. Food was excellent. To Carol, our waitress........thank you for your superb and wonderful service. You helped to make our experience most enjoyable. read more

Not being a fan of Denny's, but needing coffee as we traveled up Hiway 80 we decided to give it try. What a great place! This is an older Denny's, but the people were so nice. We were in a hurry and not to sure about the vague directions we had received from a friend. "Marylou" our waitress ,as we sat at the counter with excellant coffee, explained the best and easiest way to accomplish our trip to Grass Valley. She was so pleasant to talk to-a real old fashioned country restaurant experience. When we rushed out to be on time, Marylou gave us the remainder of ours coffees in cups to go, nicely topped off with more hot coffee and lots of cream - no charge! What a pleasant way to start a Sat. AM! read more

Great people. Always decorates the diner with fun themes.

Would Rate Zero stars if I could, walked in, horrible service waited for 10 minutes until the General manager told us "it's going to be a while" 20 minutes later seated us, menus were dirty , place looked nasty. Would end recommend it , save your time and go elsewhere . read more

we used to go to this dennys a LOT, but the experienced waitstaff we used to have isn't there when we are. what happened? the manager is waiting tables! service is now slow slow slow. food is about the same, but our joy at going is gone. won't return until turkey is back on the menu! so sad. gcbrit wife read more

Best Denny's I've ever been to... sweet waitress and the blueberry pancakes were the best I've ever had! Old timey diner feel, super cute!

2nd visit this morning and the last time. Waitress took us to our dirty table and made us wait so that she could hug her sister and her hubby and seated them at the counter. Came over wiped table then grabbed some napkins to "dry" it. She came and took our drink order. Brought my coffee right away but made my husband wait about 5 minutes for his juice. She then came back to us to take our order (after she took her family's order 1st). We still have not gotten our order after 20 minutes meanwhile her family has eaten and left. By the way, did you know they "always take counter orders before table order"! We finally get the managers attention to ask where our order was. I followed him to where the orders are turned in to see him asking where this order was. He finally looks at me and tells me they are coming right up. Another 5 minutes and our orders arrive.....COLD! My cheese was not even melted on my "scrambled eggs with cheese", the hash browns were cold and my toast order came back wrong. We told the manager to just forget the meals and we would just pay for our drinks. The waitress turns to us as we get up to leave and says "what now!" I yell right back....it was cold. read more

Normally, we have a great experience here...........but today, (Wed 9/26/12) @ 2:45 that was NOT the case. Our food was greasy, our waitress was busy in the back flirting with the cook (maybe why my ham was burnt and greasy) and we had to go to the register to pay as no bill was delivered. The really sad part is.......I ordered my hashbrowns dry.......which means not cooked with grease, and they were the greasiest hash browns I've had in years. My husbands super bird toasted sandwich was not toasted.........apparetly dipped in grease, and served. My husband is currently suffering from an upset stomac We will try one more time........if the service and meal are again this poor, we will NOT visti again. read more
