HORRIBLE, HOW IS DENNYS STILL SERVING PEOPLE? We went there last night and it was a horror movie. The food was disgusting, not even cooked all the day and old. Please see my pictures. We ordered the chicken strips with broccoli & corn and received old steak with gravy, cold in the inside. The corn was super dull and not even yellow. We also ordered kids meals and they were all left by the kids. Lastly, the grapes were old and mushy. How can you not see what you are serving? Denny's YOU NEED TO CLOSE DOWN or do an Audit of your food. I want my money back $53.40 wasted. read more

Went on a Sunday evening at 6:25. It approximately took 10 minutes or longer to even be seen by a hostess. But when we were served the gentleman was very kind. And apologized for the long wait. It was much appreciated that his service was a 10/10. All the food was great. I ate the ultimate grand slam. And my friend the Benedict. I ordered a side of biscuits and gravy that was unfortunately 4/10. Other than that the experience was good and would come back in the future. read more

I come to this particular Denny's often, the menu is always evolving with creative new dishes that are quite yummy! I always have great service here but Jessica, our server today was exceptionally great! So attentive and goes way above and beyond for her customers! She has a new ice tea as soon as my present one was empty before even coming by my table for me to ask for a fresh one! Exceptional experience because of Jessica's top notch service! read more

Service is always excellent! Happy place to have breakfast!! Staff even told us about low tire we had! Love this place!

Visited today for breakfast for 5. We received great service from Jessica. She was very friendly and attentive. Food was great.

Had breakfast there this morning. The place has lots of room for improvement and the waiter Johnny R. made an effort to fix problems we pointed out. Here are issues I encountered while eating there: - Coffee was first served in a mug that was dirty. I brought it to the server's attention and he did promptly fix. - Coffee was too light in taste and strength. It tasted like drinking hot water. - The menu offered "herbal tea". When asked if they have chamomile tea, we were informed they did not. - Not one but both plates were unusually cold. They did fix the issues, but again this is something the establishment could avoid if more vigilant. In closing, I do not recommend this place and think it will be the only time I visit it. read more

By far the WORST service I have ever experienced in my life! The Waitress Linda maybe spoke 5 words to us the entire time. Brought food with no utensils and after asking twice and waiting 10 min she finally provided eating utensils. Messed up the order, forgot food & brought another tables food to us. Being a server isn't something this person should be doing. read more

When we walked in it was pretty lonely inside after a while more people came in we noticed there was only one waitress handling everything going back & forth. I really think management needs to get it together because why do you guys only have one waitress handling it all from drinks to serving the food & checking people out. She looked pretty stressed out essentially the waitress is losing out on tips because of this even though it's not their fault not so many people are so understanding with these kinds of situations. Other than that the food was great & her service was great. read more

I did not have any problems with my most recent visit on a weekday morning. I ordered the 55+ omelette and it was the perfect portion size I wanted. Wait staff was very good and checked in at least twice during my meal. It was the perfect place to relax while I was waiting for my car to get serviced nearby. I appreciate Denny's being open 24/7 and honestly my favorite dish is the skillets, but I wasn't that hungry today. read more

Denny's - 55 + omelette - Diners Near Me - Oceanside, California

I was at this location which I frequent often. This past Sunday and it was so full. I was afraid I wasn't going to get service fast. But the staff was on target. Our waitress came around more often than usual to make sure we were OK. Our food came very quickly, and the overall experience was one that I was very impressed with. Dennys has it going on now. I would highly recommend anyone that enjoys Denny's food to come to this location. read more

It's Dennys! If you expect nothing more than that then you'll have a decent meal. The T-bone Steak and eggs have never done me wrong. The Server Yolette is great... Peace... FrankieG read more

Comparing this dennys to other dennys and this place in the past. It was a great experience. Wait was a little long this morning but I'm sure they are short staffed like every where else is. Friendly staff! Always on the move. Coffee was not to keep me company till my chicken fried steak joined me. Food was perfect! Not over cook or undercooked. Eggs over medium were cooked perfectly. Place is super clean and overall enjoy my breakfast this morning:) thank you dennys!! read more

I would like to say that I wasn't sure where to go to warn others. I normally only ever look at reviews and never make some but what I saw happen last Saturday the 7th at this Denny's made me rethink the review. I was having breakfast with my dad, brother and sister in law. We were all sitting on a table with a full restaurant. From the corner of my eye I saw an older man eating by himself and I remember thinking how nice that looked. Unfortunately, what happened next was nothing that nice. I saw as he got up to leave and slipped hitting both his arm and head. Blood smeared his arm and forehead. Sadly, that's not what shocked me. What I can only guess was the manager is what I believe was the real crime. I could hear her screaming to the servers to get someone to help pick him up. This frail and elderly gentleman who just fell HARD. I stayed close to the scene and I could see one of the girls was close to tears. Not sure what the "manager" was trying to do but she handled it HORRIBLY. Obviously you can't pick someone up that's fallen. We were assured my the lady standing next to him that the ambulance was on the way and we stayed outside in our cars until they arrived. I'm just having a hard time understanding how this lady instead of organizing her crew began berating them. I know if that was my dad my first move would have been 911. So why wasn't that the managements? Accidents happen but this store did not impress me with their fast thinking. I always say blame the person at the top read more

Julissa was our server and she's impressive. Julissa doesn't write the order down and of course, she remembered every detail. she was sweet, smart, efficien! Thank You Julissa and Denny's. read more

So, we placed an order for delivery almost 4 hours ago. The first order was confirmed by DoorDash as delivered to us...but we never received it. I tried to work with the really nice young lady at Dennys to get another ordered placed and redelivered to us. Still no food. Dennys should not be using DoorDash if they can't get a simple order delivered. So disappointing. read more

I just finished a very nice Grand Slam breakfast. Food was served quickly and it was hot, yummy and prepared as ordered. My server, Johnny R., was friendly and attentive. 4 stars for two reasons... When I first walked in (I was dining alone), a woman behind the counter made eye contact, smiled, and then walked away... Also, the menu I was given was dirty...dripping with orange juice and something else I didn't want to touch. Luckily, I knew what I was ordering, so I didn't have to touch it. read more

We have stopped here a few times now on our way down to San Diego since it's right off of the 5 freeway and my kids love their breakfast items. Usually always busy but the food comes out quickly. However, this last time the service was so slow! It took like 20 minutes after we sat down just to get drinks and then we waited 45 minutes for our food to come. read more

This dennys was a good experience for me and the kiddos. Great customer service and very friendly staff!!! Love it. The food was great as well! read more

We took our grandson to Denny's for the first time this morning. He didn't know what a Dennys is. He does need now. Needless to say he loved It. He got hot cocoa with whipped cream and some great looking chocolate chip pancakes and we got Omelets. He was very happy. The service is always good and you can depend on the food tasting delicious. read more

I was greeted with such a pleasant surprise, it was PENNY! She uses to be server at the Encinitas location until it closed down. Throughout our dinner experience I noticed Penny working so diligently with all the other tables all by herself and greeting guest and clearing tables. The food it self was quite good for 1am. Food arrived hot and ready. However, there are such interesting people coming into the location at this hour or night. read more

Had lunch on Sunday April16th...the wait was long, due to heavy volume of customers, the staff worked tirelessly...why I give a one star, the food has been going down hill (this restaurant was our go-to for over twenty years)..every time we leave, we experience upset stomachs, this past Sunday we really got sick, not feeling good even now after two days...will not go back anytime soon...TOO BAD read more

Eh, it was okay. Busy Saturday morning. Server was less than attentive as he ran around like a headless chicken. As we're all the other employees. The food came to the table pretty quickly though. Order fulfilled. Not really hot, but warm enough to be edible. The hash browns and breakfast meats were super greasy. The bacon was unevenly cooked. Also, there were dirty knife marks on the sliced banana. There weren't even enough syrup dispensers for the tables. They were juggling them from table to table. Seemingly hoping one would finish in time for the next requirement. Though, it never made it to our table for my French toast. Whatever, I'm sweet enough! I definitely prefer the Denny's in Carlsbad. We'll go back to our usual in the future. read more

What a great server.! We were at Dennys El Camino Oceanside last week. As we walked in a guy in front was nice , but told us a server would be with us. He was to busy , and his front section looked overwhelming . I do not believe not wanted us in his area. Oh well , because Mrs. Jessica took great care of us and made us feel so welcomed. She has definitely been serving along time and it shows.! If you are in Oceanside area stop in and see Jessica . I am sure she will be smile and welcoming. We will be going back for the service.!

Older Hispanic male employee opened the door to the female restroom without knocking first or shouting through the door, "is there anybody in here?" This incident occurred during normal open business hours. If his intention was to clean the female restroom then he should always announce himself before opening the door. That's a violation of a woman's privacy & safety. read more

I live close to this Denny's and don't come as often as I'd like but every time it's always a pleasure. No matter the situation the service is amazing. However, today was a big disappointment. I would have assumed that knowing the storm would be visiting us this location would be better staffed. My husband and I got there and were standing for a hot minute. Which totally understandable since there were many others waiting with us. We got sat in what my husband calls the VIP section meaning the cold side. Our waitress was frazzled but nice. Food was delicious as always. Not sure who owns the franchise or who the manager is but they definitely needed to plan better for this storm. I only saw two waitresses in the whole restaurant! read more

We were seated right away BUT food service was extremely slow, I really don't know what took so long, I almost felt like they forgot our order or gave it to another table by mistake. That's how long it took. We also requested 2 checks and ended it all on one. My coffee was only refilled once. My eggs were great but sausage undercooked or microwaved, couldn't tell. No browning on it whatsoever. This place could use some training, I know it's Denny's but we eat Denny's often, all over the U.S. when we travel and this is probably one of the worst ones. read more

I took out 13 and 9 year old grandsons there for breakfast. The food was plenty and very good! Great place for breakfast!

It's a Denny's and you know what your getting. The food was fine, the wait staff was great but overworked. Love my waitress who said a little "yeah!" Whenever she brought me something. Good coffee. No issues. Love Denny's. read more

Arrived right at 5pm. Seated within a minute. There were only 3 other tables with people sitting at them. Of course we were seated at a table that had trash on it. I guess they don't throughly wipe the tables down. Waited almost 10 min to place order. I ordered a side cesar salad. When my salad arrived, the lettuce looked a little wilted and aged. The dressing appeared to be italian. When I asked to confirm, the girl at the counter was chatting away on the phone and had no idea what I was asking of her. Waitress comes out and assures me that their cesar dressing is more creamy than the usual cesar. Ummm, not true. Total opposite. Now I know why I don't come here anymore. read more

I'm giving them One star because I have to Yelp is making me otherwise they would get 0 stars because I got food poisoning from the Denny's in Escondido on mission Avenue today when I called to tell the manager my family and I were sick after breakfast he told me there was nothing he could do about it I think that's a little beyond ridiculous I'm not looking for a female I just want a partial refund if not a full refund. read more

Great food,our server was outstanding, place is clean and inviting, management is doing a great job..

I wanted a breakfast so I stop by cause they use to be good but this was not hitting the mark. I ordered off Senior menu and it was ok I got coffee that was cold and no non-dairy creamer. Everything was off knife no fork . When I was done and got the bill the cold ass coffee was 3.98. I thought it was a mistake for a cup of coffee this is not Star Buck's which is in the same parking lot. 13 plus tip is not the senior discount. I notice most people left a good portion of their food. I got doggy bag. It's definitely was not worth it. That's all folks. So disappointed. read more

Denny's - BLACK JESUS - Diners Near Me - Oceanside, California

A typical Denny's location. Nothing more and nothing less. My family and I came here 20 minutes prior to "kids eat free night." They would not give it to us. The server even suggested we come back in 20 minutes by asking if we had any errands to run near by. Hmmm... My kids were famished and that's just a tad bit extreme. Other than that, it was a pretty good meal. I ordered the sweet and tangy BBQ chicken meal. Boy, was it tangy! The chicken was tender and the flavor was on point. Yeah, I was a bit shocked. I really want to give them three stars but to be asked to come back in 20 minutes to avail a special is ridiculous. read more

I haven't been to Denny's in several years, so either the quality of Denny's in general has gone down or this is quite possibly the worst Denny's in the world. We were running the Ragnar race and decided to eat here because it was close to a stop and there really aren't too many options at 10:30 at night. I could tell as soon as I requested a table for 7 that the manager seemed really overwhelmed. I was told the wait would be about 10 minutes even though the restaurant was less than half full. After we were seated, it took FOREVER for our food to come out. Some of us were literally falling asleep at the table while we waited. When our food did finally come out the first thing I noticed was that the plates were really small, like my food was falling off the edge. Then my friend commented that my sandwich looked burnt. It did seem a little burnt, but I thought maybe it was just the type of bread?? I also didn't want to wait another 45 minutes for new food. I don't think anyone was very happy with their food or the service. Our server was very nice, but he could have done a better job keeping us posted on the status of our food. The manager seemed overwhelmed and had a little attitude. I'm guessing this location must not get a lot of business late at night and they couldn't handle a half full restaurant full of runners. I remember going to another Denny's at like 2 AM before and they were packed completely full and seemed to be doing fine. read more
