Before going to the restaurant and posting this review- I noticed that it has been close to 2 years since a Yelp.com Elite Reviewer posted a review for this restaurant. I went along with a friend for the FREE Veteran's Day (11/11/25) Vets Original Grand Slam Special for myself- I paid an additional $2.89 for (French Toast) instead of pancakes and $1.49 for Hashbrowns whilst my friend ordered the Super Slam at $9.99 plus the upgrade charge of $2.89 for the French Toast (Hashbrowns came included with his meal). For beverages we both ordered Coffee's. Both of our meals were very tasty and a good amount of food- French Toast were 3 pieces in an order. I also appreciated the recent renovations to this restaurant from years past. Thanks again for providing a breakfast meal to Veteran's both past and currently in our all volunteer military services- since less than "1%" of the US population is in the military. I'd like to pay special recognition to Ashly (she made numerous visits to our table to make sure everything was okay with our meals along with putting 3 French Toasts we couldn't finish in a to-go box) and we all know- at least I do- is that her attentiveness starts from the top- who is Rosie (GM). Kudos to Rosie's team at Denny's RPV. Lastly, I would've posted pics of the meal- but I couldn't wait to enjoy the breakfast! read more

My server was very considerate of my diabetes making my drink not as sweet so I can enjoy it thoroughly. If you don't know what to eat just ask your server. She will recommend a great lunch menu. Create a great fest! The placed just remodeled very clean, open spacious natural sunlight. My mother does enjoy watching Rosita 'robot' at work. Thank you Vivian! read more

Yesterday I went to Dennys for lunch with my family and it went well. The food was good, I got chicken tenders tossed in buffalo sauce with season fries and it met my expectations. Our waitress was really nice and welcoming, I'm not sure what her name is but she had short hair, she needs a raise. I've been going to this Dennys for many years and they redid the whole restaurant, it looks nice and was clean the whole time I was there. What really shocked me was the walking robot, the robot came to drop off all of our food, and greeted us/said to enjoy our meals. I really love their iced tea, mozzarella sticks, and season fries but sometimes the chicken tenders is a hit or miss but I would come back here and I recommend this Dennys location. read more

Maria G is absolutely AMAZING! She's the reason we keep coming back to this Denny's , hands down! Every time we walk in and see her, we know we're in for a great experience. She's incredibly sweet, attentive, and just radiates good energy. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Denny's is so lucky to have her ! she's a total gem and we adore her! read more

They have the best pancakes! Come just for those. Easy to order & pick up. Always fresh off the grill.

Please clean the tables better. Everything on my table was syrupy sticky. Salt and Pepper, Syrup holder, and the tray. I've encountered this too many times. Sticky items always push my buttons. Food was good. Good they used new sanitary towels to wipe each table. read more

Even before the remodel this location has been so much better since it changed ownership. It's still your regular Denny's but in this area it's the best service your going to get. The staff is very attentive and very nice. Drinks stay full and they check on you constantly. We've become regulars here and I can tell you the food is great but the atmosphere is so warm and I don't mean the temperature. Food is better than the other Denny's near by. I wish they stayed open later for those late night cravings but they close at 10pm. read more

The food was amazing Thank you for the great service Thank you for letting us to give food to the homeless guy Her name is Wendy tell her we say thank you for Everything read more

The service sucks, the cook needs to learn how to fry eggs over easy too. The price of the food at Dennys used to be reasonable. Now everything is way over priced and cooked mediocre. What a joke! I can cook a better breakfast at home and for a lot cheaper. read more

I used to enjoy dining here until they dismissed the staff and replaced them with new servers and robots I'll take my business elsewhere read more

My wife and I stopped by Denny's for her birthday, and it ended up being one of the most fun and welcoming stops on our birthday freebie tour. We had called the day before to ask how the free birthday breakfast works - and the staff was so kind--they even said happy birthday over the phone (which no one else did all day!) and welcomed us to come! When we arrived, everyone was super friendly and upbeat. The restaurant was clean, the food came out fast, and a robot even brought out a birthday ice cream with a candle! WTF?! Haha Then a group of five team members came over to sing happy birthday--such a real touch. Look out for Maria--she's a total rockstar. The multigrain brown sugar pancakes are legit: simple, hearty, and tasty. The turkey bacon was kind of weird, but hey--not everything can be perfect. All around, a great experience that felt personal and made the day even more special. Thanks, Denny's! read more

11/30/2025 9am Our food was pretty good, the service was very good. He was very attentive. It became disgusting as my Sister and I were leaving we went to the bathroom and one stall was occupied, no big. We were in and out, washing our hands and the person that had been grunting in stall 1 comes out, SHE'S WEARING A DENNY'S UNIFORM and she doesn't wash her hands. She goes to open the door and I say "whoa hey STOP, aren't you gonna wash your hands?" She looks at me and says NO and left. I was angry my Sister was telling me to let it go, it was early Sunday morning. I saw her standing by the register as we left, I was pissed. I couldn't let it go and immediately call Denny's to complain. She is not the young pretty girl that works the register and I don't think she is a server, yuck does that mean she might be food prep. F-ing A, can't go to Denny's anymore. I apologize for not taking a more aggressive approach immediately, this is serious. I described her to the girl on the phone. read more

Good food Grand Slam breakfast is a great way to start your day Skillets are always yum Chicken Strip with Chicken Fingers is my favorite

Maria is always the best waitress here always helping and just a wonderful person thank you for your wonderful service

A waitress that will plop burned food on your table should be replaced. THE COOK that can't get it right after 2 times.. should be replaced. I WAS STARVING when we arrived.. so when our food comes to your table burned and somehow cold? It's a mystery. They drowned it in the gravy.. but when I couldn't cut it I flipped it and saw the excessive burned crust.. like a rock I will never return.. spent 45$ on one dinner a coffee and 2 iced reas.. since the other never was edible.. and I just sat there waiting and waiting.. trying my best to keep my INNER KAREN holstered lol Golden fried chicken.. not dark brown and black.. I couldn't cut the first set of chicken.. no way I could chew it.. then they return with what appeared to be a matching set of burned chicken.. do they stock it up there in the back? My husbands steak was over don and tough to chew.. lord.. Great garlic bread.. but then again I was starving and the bread is all I was given.. since I have yo keep asking for food that wasn't burned.. The environment was quiet. It was empty inside.. now I know why.. I had to ask for a to go box cus my husband didn't want to continue eating it front of me lol I picked up a burger on the way home.. Husband is never allowed to choose where to eat again.. lol This place needs better staff read more

I was there today for breakfast, I had an amazing experience in my visit food was great nice and hot French toast, my server Jorge was very attentive Also the manager provided me an excellent experience I will be coming back to this location read more

Great Customer service!!! I came in around 9:20pm last night on the 19th of March with a couple of friends and had the best service I ever had in a restaurant. I can't thank enough for the staff for letting us in such a late time. The food was incredible. Something good whenever you need time off the rode. Can't wait to go back again!!! read more

The service is outstanding here. They seat you quickly. There is a robot named "Rosita" who brings your food to the table. The restaurant is always clean and in good condition. It was recently remodeled. Parking is good with 2 lots to choose from. Look for coupons online after creating an account. read more

Haven't been to Denny's in a while! Today was a great experience. They're under new management. Fast and great service, good food, friendly personality. I can finally go back to being a more frequent customer. Thank you Ernesto for a pleasant meal experience. read more

Service was great, prompt and efficient. My cheeseburger and my husband T-Bone Steak meal was filling, hot and tasty...

Did an online order and specifically said no buffalo wings in my sampler, I'm a vegetarian. So what did they do, gave me chicken strips. Also everything was cold and stale. I also ordered 4 sauces per the menu and got one. This places sucks. read more

My family and I were craving a good breakfast. We decided to go to Denny's in Rancho palo verde. I am happy that we decided too. We were greeted by a very sweet and friendly young lady, Katie. She was able to get us seated pretty fast even though it was busy. I guess everyone else had the same idea, lol. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the restaurant and restrooms were really clean. Thank you, Katie and team Denny's. You're all awesome. I can't wait to see you all again!! read more

They used processed ham for this breakfast sandwich, and It was extremely salty. I could only put down half because of it. Don't they have ham steaks for the Grand slam breakfast? read more

We really enjoy this Denny's. It is always super clean and the service is very nice. We came for dinner this time. We love going there for dinner because you can have a full dinner or you can have breakfast at 8 pm. We like that. When you walk in you are greeted straight away and it is usually not crowded at night. Once seated a server is with you fast and your coffee is on its way. They have a large menu and there is a lot to choose from. Their prices are reasonable and right now, that is a big deal to us. We had a wonderful burger and fries with a nice salad and a full egg breakfast, and shared it all. It was great. The burger was cooked perfectly and the eggs were exactly as ordered. We had some pie for dessert and that was really good. Next time I will get ice cream on top of it. Have a great time. read more

My regular lunch companion and I had planned to visit Denny's for a while (his idea, for a bit of nostalgia). The full multi-mealtime menu is still a thing. Denny's lives long after we used to visit in different locales. The décor is about unchanged here, too. This location on Western was between points already on our work agenda, so it was an easy choice. We were at first concerned at how empty the parking lot was, but since we drove there in a large commercial vehicle, it was very convenient. We agreed that the food was very good (he had a fish dinner, I had the pot roast, which was delicious, with perfectly-cooked vegetables). The service was great (pleasant and prompt), another upside of the post-noon lull, we guessed. Even the affordable prices (also reminiscent of our youths) added to the overall experience. One negative: bad odors in the men's room. 4 of 5 stars. read more

I just moved into the area less than a year ago and started taking my mom to eat at this Denny's, always have a good experience and good service. The last couple of times our server was Vivian and she was so kind and helpful to my mom helping her with her order I really appreciate it read more

I cannot begin to say enough kind things about Cynthia. I came in to have lunch today, granted in kind of a somber mood. From the very beginning, she was such an excellent server and honestly friend in that time. She brought my food quickly and I also told her that her kindness helped me in a very hard day. She continued to go above and beyond and made my day just a bit brighter when I felt down. Cynthia honestly deserves all the accolades, she is truly wonderful. read more

We had exceptional service for our large party. For the large group, our food came out prepared with no mistakes and fresh. Drinks were always full and any special requests were met. Thank you Dennys read more

Went on my birthday for the Free Grand Slam and they sadly informed us they stopped doing that about 1 year ago. It's still available but you have to sign up for their e-club and you will receive a email coupon for it. They also had no hot chocolate read more

The Dennys out here is one of the finest! Staff is always taking care of you, management is amazingly friendly.

Maria is the best! She sacrificed her Thanksgiving day to work and provide awesome service. Overall, things at the RPV Denny's has greatly improved the last couple months. read more

I had not patronized this Denny restaurant in over two years due to the poor customer service, food quality and overall setting. Today, we decided to take another chance since it's recent remodeling and change of ownership. We were greatly surprised at the overall experience of the fantastic service by Eddie our server, quickness and food from the chefs and the open floor plan and quiet/relaxing atmosphere of the morning. We will surely be returning for our next visit soon. Keep up the great work and thank you to the management for welcoming us back to Denny's! read more

Amazing service! Food is quick to come out and servers provide great customer service. There's never been a time when they lacked the food or service quality. read more

I find it funny that upon arrival a table with 4 WHITE people are being waited on hand and foot.. as soon as my Hispanic son and I walk in -nobody seats us, a WAITRESS sits us down, and of course nobody takes our order until we ask someone to.. of course the assumption was that we weren't going to tip as well but acting like that definitely makes us not want to tip at all. But don't worry just because we ARE hispanic, we won't do that read more

One star for the delicious milk shake and one star for the great service. Food was trash . $60 for food that was gross and none of us ate much of it. read more
