Food Service and Ambiance with lots of Booths+Tables The restrooms are spotless and the place is fresh and airy. You can get in and out pretty fast for a quick breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night snack. The wait staff are there to help and the cooks do an incredible job. We try to go when Maggie is on shift. She is so nice and friendly. I like the over 55 specials but there are pages of delicious items on the menu. read more

I'm honestly only giving this Denny's one star because there is no option for zero. I'm a regular customer at the Denny's near Port Hueneme, and while the food has generally been good, I have repeatedly had a terrible experience whenever I am seated in Maggie's section. Her customer service is extremely poor, and she consistently gives the impression that she does not want to be at work or interact with customers. What concerns me even more, however, is the way I have personally witnessed her treat other employees. I have heard her use inappropriate and disrespectful language toward another young waitress and the busser. I also witnessed her physically push a young waitress aside and take over that waitress's table. She repeatedly interferes with them while they are trying to do their jobs and appears to constantly criticize or pick on them. As a customer, it is extremely uncomfortable and upsetting to watch employees being treated this way in front of customers. No one should have to feel intimidated, disrespected, or belittled by a coworker while simply trying to do their job. What is especially frustrating is that this does not appear to be an isolated incident. I find it very difficult to understand how management can allow this kind of behavior to continue without addressing it. If management is aware of what is happening and has chosen not to take action, that is extremely concerning. I am asking management and corporate to take this complaint seriously, investigate what is happening, and speak with the employees who may have been subjected to this behavior. I will also be escalating this complaint to corporate because, as a regular customer, I do not believe this type of behavior should be tolerated in a workplace or in front of customers. This situation is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed. read more

Chicken was not cooked all the way had to stop my son from eating them. My daughter's nachos were watery and quality was very bad. I have been coming to this Dennys off of Ventura rd since I was a kid. And in the last 4 years or so every time I have come it's been horrible quality. The servers are all nice and good. Too bad the food quality is not holding up anymore. Smh read more

Walked in, smelled STRONGLY of urine, walked out. You know it's a problem when you walk into a restaurant and the first thing you smell is pee, not food... read more

I'm only giving a 1 star because there are no options for 0 stars. The food was ehh. The food was salty and not cooked to the correct temperature. The service was lacking. The servers didn't bother to check in on the customers to offer refills or to see if the customers needed anything. The ambiance was confusing. Two different music backgrounds playing. That of the dining room and that of the kitchen. The overall cleanliness was okay. Residue from previous customers was noticeable. Staff service and friendliness was not present, the staff seemed like they didn't want to be there or be the ones servicing the customers. read more

My experience at this Dennys location was an absolute hit thanks to the amazing hospitality from my waitress. A young girl named Jane both sat me down and took my order. She brought out my drink within seconds after I told her what I wanted! She was extremely kind and checked on me frequently! She made sure my drink was never empty. I've never felt more comfortable at a diner than today! The only thing is I wish I had left a bigger tip. read more

The lady Maggy was so nice I had a great experience going back to Denny's. I haven't been there in years and I'm glad I went. The food was hot and fresh and best of all the service was amazing. read more

Friendly server. Order was accurate. Food was good. Prices were fair. I appreciate them giving a AARP discount for seniors. read more

Really disappointed with my experience at Denny's From the moment I walked in, the service was off. Sophia, the server, was rude and immediately told me I had to pay before I even ordered, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. It completely set a negative tone for the visit. The overall atmosphere didn't help either, and the experience just didn't meet basic expectations for customer service. Definitely not the kind of place I'd want to return to after being treated like that. Would not recommend on the nights when she works. She should not be working serving people food . read more

First of all l was born in Port Hueneme (1959) and l have been coming to this particular Denny's since the 70's . I definitely have seen changes throughout the decades. But as of today when I walked in and was greeted by Ryan and he brought my wife and I some cold water. The menu is completely different and it has a variety of new choices . I ordered the super slam because I love breakfast at dinner time. Ryan asked me if I wanted fruit or chocolate chips with my pancakes. Let me tell you that when my food arrived not only was it delicious but the butter was warm and not hard. The hash browns were perfectly cooked and a large portion also. The bacon and sausage with the over medium cooked eggs. The cook Gary made the pancakes fluffy and with the bowl of chocolate chips it melted with the butter kudos to the new management and I will be bringing my family and friends. I want to support this new crew at Denny's. read more

I had a Cobb salad with chicken tender pieces and it was so fresh and delicious! Shout out to Charlotte, Oscar F and General Manager Robert!! The staff was so friendly, fast and courteous even though the restaurant was full. See you again soon! read more

This Denny's is at a convenient location at the edge between Oxnard and Port Hueneme. As a college student, having a safe space with access to wifi, friendly customer service and delicious food is always a plus. Their employee Alma makes people feel at home and is always welcoming everyone with joy and a big smile. read more

Just awful. Don't go if you're alone, you'll be considered invisible by wait staff, even if you flag someone down with both hands and they gesture back, " just a minute," it'll still be another 15 minutes. After a good half hour ( restaurant was almost empty) the mgr finally took my order. Only thing tolerable was the coffee. Scrambled eggs were luke warm, bacon was chewier than jerky, hash browns were salty and greasy, what I'd expected, and it took another half HR of waiting for the check which wasn't cheap by any means, 27 dollars for a pain-in-da-ass breakfast and coffee. It was the Denny's closer to Vineyard. Tear out this piece of unsatisfying dreck and perhaps somebody can open up a soul food restaurant or maybe an upscale fish and steak house, save Oxnard, give the people somewhere worthwhile to dine. Finally! read more

3 waitresses and one managers. We left. They sat us down and forgot about us. No request for drinks. We waited for about 15 minutes then left with no acknowledgement read more

I like to come to this location because it's close to my home , new management! Great service !! Thank you Jordan

The restaurant was hot. We waited 40 minutes to get our food and nobody asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. The hamburgers were overdone. They did not serve us the correct fries. To top off that the restrooms were nasty with blood on one toilet seat and the other toilet had poop on it. Will not be going back to that location again read more

The food was delicius my breakfast skillet mmmm perfect !!!! and my waitress Gloria is so attent and she's always smile very good service !!! and the restaurant was so clean ! read more

This particular Denny's location doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's quite nice inside. I hadn't been to a Denny's in quite a while, so I decided to try it for a weekday breakfast. The place wasn't very crowded at all, and I found the service to be quite friendly and attentive. Reviewing their menu, it appears that Denny's has really done a lot to make themselves a much more desirable place to eat at. They have an extensive breakfast menu. I had one of the complete breakfasts, and it came with pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. It was way too much food. It could easily have been shared by two people. read more

I ate at this older Denny's today. Had a double cheeseburger and fries. It was delicious. I am new to Oxnard and Shannon was my waitress and very friendly. The service was great and she even pointed out my ketchup stain on my shirt. Great food and hospitality! read more

Walked in all the servers and manager were sitting in a booth. That should have been my 1st alert to leave the premises. I wanted a simple grilled cheese and a salad. They said sorry no salad until tomorrow wtf. So I said just give me a grilled cheese. It was served barely toasted and the cheese never melted. I walked out after telling them it was inedible. This is the third time in a row I've walked out. Won't be going back for awhile. read more

When a person orders a ''TO GO" order, the front desk person who greets you takes your order. I think that person should learn that the person waiting for their food order gets treated like any other person ordering food. I had to ask 3 different times if my order was ready. Each time they looked at me, like why are you asking me this? I just wanted my food so I could go home. It was a waitress who handed me my meal, not the woman who took my order. I think she was sweet, and in a few months, she will learn the ropes of waitressing, and maybe realize the person ordering to go meals are just important as those who are seated and waiting to be waiting on.... read more

Food ended up being really good! The brisket sandwich was a little hard to chew but Mandy's service was great. She was sweet and checked up on us often. She made the experience all come together and definitely made our day! read more

On 1/11/2022 at just after 12, I dropped into this Dennys on Ventura Rd. for lunch. I'm not a stranger to Dennys but had not been to this one in a while. I tried their new item "Diner Classic Patty Melt". Excellent! The front desk/server (Monique B) was rude and very unhelpful. She kept me waiting to be seated while she slammed and trashed dirty dishes around. Passing me on two occasions ignoring me. She eventually told me to seat myself. Her face mask was below her nose as she walked about the near-empty Diner. And when she served me lunch she removed the mask from her face completely. I also observed the tables and seating not to have been wiped down, so you know they have not been sanitized per code My summary of the service at this location is: Atrocious. I won't be going back. read more

The staff at this location are so kind and attentive. My food was out within 10 minutes of me ordering it and the waiters Marco and Oliver continued to Check on me to see if i needed anything further. I definitely recommend coming to this Dennys. read more

I had a very pleasant surprise this morning when I ordered Eggs Benedict from my local Denny's in Port Hueneme. I am rather picky when it comes to ordering Eggs Benedict, but as I am disabled and a bit lazy on this Friday morning decided to have my breakfast order delivered. I like my eggs a bit runny and have to say that when my order arrived I was surprised to see the eggs were cooked to perfection. The English muffins were not over or under cooked and the ham was thickly cut and tasted real. The sauce had just the right taste and texture. The fruit I ordered apeared fresh and I received a nice amunt of the fruit, again a pleasant surprise. I thought I had also ordered hash browns, but they were not included but not sure I can blame Denny's as I may have made a mistake and replaced the hash browns with the fruit instead of adding. The only negative was that the food was not as hot as I like, but 40 seconds in the mico wave warmed up the warm without making the eggs less runny. Overall I must say I was greatly impressed and very much enjoyed my breakfast and if all of there food selections are as well prepared and cooked as my Eggs Benedict, I will be returning to dine at Denny's more frequently. read more

We decided to go for the first time so we did but the service was not good it took 10-15 minutes for the waiter to get our drinks.But the worst part is that he never came by to ask us for refills but they were all enjoying themselves because I sure can hear and see the staff just chatting to top it off the restaurant was not even busy so there was no reason for you not to be on top of your 2 or 3 tables you had. read more

Had a great dining experience today. Everyone was attentive. Great service from Luis and Alexis

Im here on a Saturday morning and it's quite busy, but we were seated quickly and our food came out fast and hot! Im a food service worker myself so I know how surprisingly rare this can be during busy rushes. The staff are constantly buzzing around checking on everyone, and they have all been very nice. Our server Stephanie was particularly great because she let us order The Meltdown food even though it's not on the Denny's menu! Definitely the reason i'm coming back to this one. read more
