Terrible service at this location. Staff is unaware of what's going on and forgets food items. Forgot pancakes and several items. Be sure to triple check everything and don't take there word for it. Will not be coming back here. read more

Like many others have said, it's a Denny's. But this one IMO is the best one in the area. I'm not a late night diner, but this Denny's has become our go to location when we are in a "breakfast for dinner" mood. We also enjoy the Tuesday and Sunday kids eat free promo they offer from time to time. The service and food is always consistent and good. The staff keeps the restaurant clean and are never far away if you need anything. read more

Work for Uber eats and one of the cashier older man gave me attitude when all I wanted was to get my order to deliver and he was snobby and blocking me from getting the order. He left the food on the seat where people sit. Very bad attitude for someone at 7am just starting the day. who would want a guy like that working with such an attitude. read more

The food was decent, Really really nice waiter named Joshua ! Had a all around good experience!

I've been to lots of Denny's restaurants and this is by far the worst. We had an issue with our food and the manager didn't even apologize. Everything was awful, to say the very least. Even the atmosphere wasn't pleasant. From when we first walked in, we could just tell the experience would be negative. Food was terrible, management was obviously unprofessional and the server clearly didn't know the menu or what she was doing. Overall, i wish I could provide 0 starts. After reading all the other reviews and seeing photos of how unsanitary this establishment is, I really hope I don't get sick. Please... if you're reading this, stay away. This is a disgrace. read more

I went here with my daughter for a quick dinner. Our waitress was quick and attentive to our table and the food was on par with what you'd expect from a Denny's. read more

Denny's is Denny's you know what you're going to get but this one is clean and staff is friendly. Armando has to be the best server I have ever had experience with at Denny's! read more

Food was good and filling. Great time with the ones I love the most. Not too crowded and a mellow vibe is in the air. Pleasante staff. And tolerable type of music read more

The dennys here is fine if you want a quick bite and not care about quality or service. The employees here act like you're bothering them when you try and ask for a refill or extra napkins. On this last visit, I ordered a sampler for my friends and I to eat and it came with one chicken strip, three mozzarella sticks and a handful of jalapeño poppers. I waved down an employee and told me its standard and correct even though on my numerous visits to various dennys including many here, it is not correct. This last visit is my last to this location. I've experienced too much trouble for just a quick bi read more

The constant clang of plates in the dishwashing area was terrible. When I asked that the door be closed, I was told it was broken. The server asked the dishwasher to hold it down, that lasted about 2 minutes I expect this at Norm's, not a Denny's read more

My friend and I ordered food through the Denny's website which offers delivery. Placed the order and called to confirm about 15-20 minutes later. The girl who answered said that they didn't have delivery and we would have to go thru ubereats. But that our food was sitting there ready for pickup. My card had been charged and we couldn't pick it up which is why we paid for delivery. So we asked for a manager and were told there was NO manager on duty at the time and it was this girls first day. Ok, well we're not going to be able to pick up the food so now I'm going to have to try to dispute the charge with my bank? As I'm writing a complaint to corporate, a guy pulls up from doordash with our food. He explained the situation to us in a way where I could hear that this girl legit had no training and thrown to the wolves on her first day. I felt so bad for getting hangry at her. But as far as this Denny's location, I'm shocked that they would let this happen. Denny's on orangethorpe in placentia needs a serious training revamp. And maybe make sure there's an MOD for customer issues. What kind of a restaurant has no manager on duty?! I would've given one star but I felt so bad for the new employee. She deserves better. Your employees AND customers deserve better. read more

The service I got here was outstanding young man took my order got my coffee got my orange juice and waited at the counter for my food until it was done the cooks made a mistake he corrected it right away everything was outstanding for a $10 bill I left him a $10 tip couldn't be more couldn't be more happier read more

Dennys had a national promotion of a free Impossible burger with purchase of a beverage on Thursday January 30th.Started at 11am.I got there at 1230pm and was promptly told they had no more burgers,they had run out.If it was 8pm,I could understand them running out.But an hour and a half after the promotion started,yeah right.I called Denny's National headquarters in South Carolina. They took my name and number and assured me a phone call from the powers that be.I also asked for the owners phone#,much to the chagrin of the manager who was swearing under his breath an d giving me menacing looks.I nexted talked to the owner,Tim,who said he would send me a raincheck.Its been 3 days and I haven't heard anything from anybody.Oh well,I went across the street to MARKET FRESH and had a great burger and a beverage for$7.50.No childess antics,no BS from the owner only a great burger which satiated my tummy.Ill never go to this Denny's ever again,Never posted a negative review on Yelp,there's always a first time read more

Well, some folks out there associate Denny's with some joint that you just eat and run. I'm here to tell everyone that this particular location has their service ethics down. I give five stars because there is really nothing to complain about here. Ingrid showed up promptly. We arrived at about 9:30 Saturday morning. She asked us if we wanted drinks now or later, a veteran move, instead of just saying I'll be right back to take the order. We ordered everything, received proper AARP discounts, and all orders were hot and correct. Here's the "5 star" move: My grits got cold while I was munching on all the other food. So I asked Ingrid to heat it up. She did it promptly. The grits stayed hot for the duration. The plates are just enormous. Pancakes are huge, bacon not greasy, muffin crunchy, a bunch of food for less than the cost of McDonald's. The service here is fantastic. A meal at this location is a great value for the amount of food and excellent service received. They do care about the customers. I have received similar treatment in San Diego Denny's locations. read more

Id give this dennys no stars if i could. We came in this dennys after a long day at choc with our daughter only to have the server who seated us get our drink order but then said she would be back to get our food order 10 mins later came over just to say she was leaving but yet still walked around the restaurant another 20 mins. Then when our food came my stepsons pancakes werent even made right nor my chicken skillet asked to speak to manager come to find out our server was supposedly the manager. It took forever to get refills then had to find someone to get a straw. Sad part there were only 2 other tables and yet it took them that long. They had an employee while on the clock sitting at the table with his family which their kids made a huge mess and were very loud. But Best part i got a whole $4 off our food for all the mistakes what a joke. read more

I come here at least once a week. I usually get the tilapia ranchero, it's good and healthy! Service is usually pretty good, and it's never too crowded here. read more

This is generally the Denny's the family eats when we're not travelling the world and it always works. I always have a build-it-yourself Grand Slam - pancakes, bacon, and some english muffins. Their bacon is crunchy and delicious - the way I like em. Pancakes are good. read more

This place was absolutely horrid. I thought it was going to be a decent experience until we obtained our food...then that assumption went into the toilet. We ordered a burger, an omelette, and a 2 item sampler. The omelette and burger were fine but the 2 item sampler was a complete disgrace; there were five cheese sticks and 2 chicken strips...it looked worse than what a child would make after school when they're hungry and they grab stuff out of the freezer. So, of course i sent it back...and that's where everything turned sour. We were right there and we could hear the conversation between the waitress and the cook; i assumed they didn't think i could understand spanish but, tough for them, i can...and the way they talk about their customers was pathetic. They started laughing at us making fun of us in the kitchen...even the manager was pointing at us and laughing along with the waitress. Do not go here; its a complete sack of trash where the people think its appropriate to laugh at their guests for returning something that they couldn't cook (but a 4 year old child could....much better might i add). So, I highly advise going to another denny's or heck, Ihop is right down the street...there's also another denny's a little further from there. Save yourself the horrible excuse for food and the even worse customer service---you don't need to be treated the way i was--- read more

I agree wth H.Q... Denny's is Denny's...I like this one because it is allways clean and never busy.... two miles up the FWY on Imperial is a Denny's that is allways packed... come down the road to this one and you will be served your food before you even are seated in Brea. I go with my kids for the Kids eat free days.... The waitress remembers us even after Months have passed. At night the cook can juggle so when he isn't busy my kids get some entertainment through the kitchen window. Food is good, service is good, friendly, clean and I did not find the bathroom nasty.... read more

I've been coming here for almost my entire life. While service can certainly bay from time to time by the nature of different cooks and servers, management is great and the long-time employees are wonderful. This location in particular has always kept pace with internal upkeep and additions; the WiFi is consitently good and I appreciated when TV's were added in just about every corner, playing a variety of news outlets. As a heads up, they keep modern country music playing but it's easily tuned out. read more

I only go to Denny's late at night after a very long day of work. It's become sort of a tradition with some friends of mine. When I go, the only thing I feel compelled to order is breakfast food. I don't think I've ever had anything else but that at Denny's. On this occassion, I had the build-it-yourself Grand Slam. I got it with eggs, sausage, pancakes and hash browns. Everything was fine except for the hash browns. I love shredded hash browns and it's the feature of the GS that I look forward to the most. This time they were over done and crunchy and hard in spots. I should have asked to have them done over, but I worked 14hrs today and just wanted to eat. I've driven by this location a lot of times. I always thought that it was 'ghetto' because it's in somewhat of an odd location for a Denny's. It was actually quite decent. The waitresses were nice. Restaurant was clean. Restrooms were a little nasty. Denny's is what is. I don't except too much and don't expect too little. A simple little late night joy in my life. read more

I really want to thank our server Cindy for the excellent service she gave me and my boyfriend. She took our order right away. :) she was really nice throughout our time there. She brought our food quickly. The food was delicious. Really love the moons over my hammy :D we ordered chocolate puppies as well because we forgot to add the tip in the first check :(. We had no cash on us so we decided to order something to go in order to give her a tip. Thank you, Cindy! :) you are a really nice and lovely person. :) you deserve a lot of recognition :) again thank you :) read more

We go to Dennys a lot. My wife likes their chicken noodle soup. One evening, she said it tasted a bit different, sour. She told the manager and suggested he taste it. When checking out, she asked if he had tasted it. He said he did and it was fine. He then asked my wife if she had put lemon in the soup in an accusatory and surly way. How stupid to challenge a frequent diner! He treated her like a "stupid woman". Want to get abused by management, go for it. We are done with them. read more

The worst service I could ever imagine. I'm not one to bring issues up either, but my service tonight was so embarrassing that I just had too. The waiter refused to sit us somewhere else after asking her, waiting 35 minutes just to order and then she forgot to bring my order. Again I brought this issue up with her and she blew me off. Never returning and never going to a Dennie's again. Norms has far better food and quality of service. read more

Great place to eat late breakfast lunch or dinner excellent service The graveyard shift is full of life and ready to go

Breakfast at Denny's is our fav. We always get the 2,4,6 or 8 menu it's so cheap and delicious. We being the whole family and they always enjoy it. No disappointment. read more

I gave this place so many opportunities to get a great review but it just never happened. We were seated immediately, which was nice. We ordered our food and drinks, and that's when everything went sour. People got the wrong drinks. My buddy ordered the veggie burger with sauteed mushrooms , and got no mushrooms. I ordered the create your own burger with a hamburger patty, a chicken patty with mayo. Got a hamburger with a veggie patty instead. No big deal until she told me it was a chicken patty. I had to rip off a piece and show her it was not chicken. She came back a few minutes later with the right sandwich but no mayo. Ok. I asked for mayo on the side, and she seemed like it was a burden for her. Burger was good and juicy, which was a plus. All would have been ok if the service was on par. But it wasn't. We had to keep flagging her down. Tough night, I guess. Refills took forever. The bill took forever. Actually, the bill never came. We had to get up from our seats and walk to the cash register and get our bill. I can understand if it was busy but we were one of two tables in that place. Again, I dislike bad reviews but this one was warranted. Aye caramba! read more

Great place to sit around for hours and not get any food. Service is terrible. Guess they are too busy to care.

Shit service, food was cold and didn't have red potatoes for there fit veggie skillet. Tried to pass fried potatoes off for them. Place was empty and now i know why. read more

My husband and I love this location. Yuri is the best sever. We always feel welcome and get great service when she is working. The food is decent and the place is clean. read more

Everything was ok. The attentive service from Yuri was great. The business is older, and not well kept. They need to do a deep cleaning and possible remodel. The 10% discount for staying with the neighboring best western was a plus, and the only reason we ate there. read more

Pretty good! Nice, clean. Not too crowded. .. my 18 year old and I come all the time. She's picky so if she likes it, we just go to the same place. Wasting money isn't something I like ... so it's best to go where I know she'll like what she eats! read more

I ordered the chicken fajita bowl, after I picked it up and went home I noticed that there was no chicken at all. I called the manager to complain about it and she told me to come back in, when I got there I wasn't getting help from employees for a while. I felt like I was being ignored, I think it was because they see that I have a bag with an order in my hand and there thinking that I'm just a customer coming back to complain about there food and they don't want to deal with it. I then tell this one employee that walks by me "hello, I'm here because I ordered the chicken fajita bowl and there was no chicken inside and I was told to come back in" then she says ok and walks over to help other customers, that was very rude of here to be doing. Finally I get help from another employee that hands me the chicken on the side and they gave me less chicken then what they normally put in there and I know because I order this bowl often, it's my favorite item on the menu, I just would have thought that they would give me more, redo my whole order, or at least give me a drink for going through the trouble of having to drive all the way back there. read more

Waitress was rude, didn't give us silverware & insisted I tip her more. Good food though, better then other Dennys.

This location provides what you'd expect from a Denny's....the restaurant is clean with good service and sub par food. The breakfast and burgers are much better than anything else on the menu.... In other words, don't expect to be blown away by their salmon or steak. All in all this is a 3 star location ... read more

It's Dennys so don't expect anything more. Kids eat free in Saturday and Tuesday between 4pm and 10pm.

All dennys are the same in my opinion. What makes this one stand out is their customer service. Good place to dine late at night

When I first walked in, two girls were talking at the podium and didn't even look up as they greeted my friend and I. Once we were seated and asked what we'd like to drink, the waitress walked away before I even finished telling her what I wanted. I order chicken strips and got four small, overcooked, pieces of chicken. During the meal, the waitress (polite, but not attentive) only stopped by once to ask how we were doing and didn't even bother to refill our glasses. The Denny's was not busy at all so it's not like she was just rushing around. I don't generally expect much from Denny's, but this experience was far below standard. read more
