The cooks and servers tried desperately to make this a better place for Oakhurst. It takes many years to establish a dependable restaurant. I hope more people give Dennis a second and third chance.. if people are traveling, they might want to try the Dennys on state College Boulevard in Anaheim across from Angel Stadium. Or the Dennys in Pismo Beach or the Dennis in Paso Robles.. They make staffing priority and the employees pass on how they're treated to you.

A sad version of what is supposed to be a Brownie Sundae with Oreo® Pieces
Leah M.

HORRIBLE!!!!! I had an Uber Eats order for desserts for one of each of the following (6 items): Lava cookie skillet Apple pie crisp Brownie sundae with Oreo pieces Strawberry shake Chocolate shake Oreo milkshake I tracked the driver so I know he was there exactly when the order was ready and came directly to our house to drop it off so the desserts looking like this was definitely not his fault. First of all, there were NO shakes whatsoever! Just scoops of ice cream on a plate! The other 3 desserts just looked like crap and unappetizing. I can't imagine what the food they serve looks like if they mess up dessert this bad! I guess their numerous 1 star reviews say it all.

The lady on shift this morning I believe Laura who claims she's the manager (but I've never seen her before this week) has an awful attitude she sent all her employees home and then it got busy and it took almost 30 minutes for our food to come out and it was just sitting in the window the whole time. If a manager can't handle a restaurant by herself maybe she should have kept some of her staff. Also I thought Denny's managers weren't allowed to steal tips and tables from their staff who probably need it more. I've had good experiences lately until she came along you guys were improving but as long as she's there you guys will sink again be better Denny's. Restaurant was dirty dishes everywhere just her in sight on her phone smh. Food was still delicious so thank you chef ! It wasn't your fault it was cold.

Five stars for the waitress that knew my friend was high af but didn't say anything Five stars for the salty chicken tenders Five stars for the restroom handle coming off Five stars for the extra ham in a non ham sandwich Five stars for Dennys not closing at 8:30 like the rest of the town Five stars for the child chef. I love Denny adventures

We got a breakfast burrito, ginger cookie, a coffee, and fresh squeezed orange juice to go. The burrito was simple but delicious. The cookie was really good - maybe one of the best ginger snap cookies I've had. The staff here were very nice and courteous and food came out fairly quickly. There's a lot of space for seating with cute retro decorations. We enjoyed our experience and came back for lunch the next day!

There was a short line when we arrived. It took about 16 minutes just to order 2 cappuccinos and 2 pastries. The coffees too another 5 minutes . The line is longer as i wrote this review. Not sure who the manager is but I don't see a lot of managing the line occurring. We went the next day because the other bakery i. Town served stale blueberry muffins and the barrister wasn't working. This time at Bees, there was no line. But it still took more than ten minutes to get our cappuccino. The cheese Danish were made from puff pastry sheets that are sold frozen and they were filled with a tasty but sparse cheese filling. I went from three stars to two. Not worth the price (2 danish and 2 large cappuccino ($22)

Definitely one of those places I would recommend for a good cup of coffee. The only downside is that they are closed on Sundays. Otherwise, great little coffee spot and definitely worth stopping by!

Unfortunately, the quality was far below expectations. The coffee had a noticeably salty, unpleasant taste, and the matcha was extremely bitter with no trace of vanilla at all. We order this same drink regularly at other cafés, so we know what it should taste like--this was not it at all. It was also far too strong for a child, despite specifically asking for it to be kid-friendly. When I politely brought this up, I was surprised by how it was handled. I simply asked to add a little vanilla for it to taste better. Instead of offering to remake the drink or find a solution, I was told I would need to purchase a new one. I rarely ever ask for drinks to be redone, but this one was genuinely undrinkable. What made the situation worse was the attitude of the staff. The response felt dismissive and unprofessional, particularly from an employee named DJ. The interaction left us feeling unwelcome and unheard. Overall, poor quality drinks and disappointing customer service. We won't be returning.

I called a couple weeks in advance to ask about reservations and was told they don't take them. But it usually isn't that busy. Parking is very easy since it's inside a hotel. We sat outside. The service really went out of their way to accommodate our larger group of 12. They rearranged tables. They brought out blankets and lit the fire pits because the propane tanks for the heat lamps were all out. It gets chilly once the sun sets. The menu itself is a bit limited. Most people went with the pasta and really enjoyed it! I got the carrots and ricotta and the butternut squash soup. My fiance got the ribeye. Everything was tasty. The soup came with fresh bread. The service team timed the plates pretty well! All the food came out at once. I think they really aren't used to having larger groups. We got one menu per 2-3 people. But the patio area was a good fit for our occasion. Among the lawn games they had corn hole, jenga, and giant connect four. It made for some natural ice breakers for everyone to get to know each other in a more casual environment. Some small hiccups that I feel could easily be resolved (propane refill and more menus). But I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area!

I specifically explained to our waiter that I wanted my burger cooked medium, with some pink but not bloody. He reiterated that my only choices were "pink" or "no pink," so I selected pink. What arrived was a completely well-done burger. For a restaurant serving grass-fed beef, that's honestly a shame. If you're going to highlight the quality of your beef, the kitchen should know how to cook it properly, especially when a customer has clearly communicated their preference. To make matters worse, the burger was advertised as coming with garlic aioli. What I received was essentially plain mayonnaise with a generous amount of raw bell peppers. I'm not sure in what world that qualifies as garlic aioli, but it certainly wasn't what was described or what I expected. The menu description was misleading, and the combination itself was bizarre. Overall, the experience was frustrating. When a restaurant emphasizes quality ingredients, I expect that same level of care in preparation, execution, and menu accuracy. Unfortunately, this burger missed the mark on all three. Grass-fed beef deserves better than being cooked into oblivion.
