To be honest, Denny's was one of my favorite restaurants until I visited this particular one. Denny's is known for its great hospitality however, I've seen none of that in this diner. Though the majority of the restaurant was empty when me and my friends walked in, it took them over 20 minutes to seat us even though some of the waiters there were just chatting amongst each other. The waiter messed up on our orders and even charged us extra for things we didn't order and receive. After our meal, we noticed that half the items listed in the receipt were things that we didn't order and receive and it took us over 30 minutes to resolve this issue with the manager who was also quite rude to us. For those of you who love Denny's, I would highly recommend not going to this one unless you expect to be disappointed. read more

I only come here late night to fulfill a hunger during finals or come here to hangout with some coworkers. Service here lately has been pretty good, but there are days when I'm like where the heck are they. If I were to create an average on time of service it would be slow. LOL. I'm currently addicted to their zesty nachos at the moment. I come here and share half zesty nachos and half sampler plate. That's about $11 of food for two people to eat. When it comes to refilling drinks, they're not really on top of that, but they won't give attitude about it you ask POLITELY. read more

I came here for breakfast and I was more than satisfied with my great service from the Brenda! She was amazing and so attentive to us, she was quick and brought the food out right away! She made sure we had everything we needed and was so kind throughout our whole visit there. I'd definitely recommend her as a waitress every time and would love to have her service again! read more

Great food and amazing service! I had a waitress named Brenda, best service from her ever! She was quick to take our order and quick to serve it out! Always being so nice and kind to us while we ate, asking if we were okay or needed anything! I recommend to ask for Brenda to be your server! read more

Kinda sketchy since it's in Riverside; however, Denny's have adjusted their menus and added the $2,$4,$6, and $8 meals-- which are very affordable for simple American breakfast. Free wifi as well. But still a little sketch considering the fact someone got shot here three years ago, and just the fact that it's open 24(?) hours in a ghetto neighborhood. read more

Understaffed. I don't know if there has been a change in management recently or what, but a lot of the old staff are gone. Long wait times to sit, order, eat and pay. Also starting to notice it's not as clean anymore. Food quality remains consistent for Dennys quality as long as you can get your food while it's still hot. Looking for a new simple and quick breakfast joint. read more

Denny's - Dennys coffee - Diners Near Me - Riverside, California

Tried this location last night for dinner and the food was alright. The service stood out more to me compared to the food, the workers were very attentive and checked in on our table every 10-15 min asking if we're doing okay or need anything. Would come back here, but probably not often. read more

Wanted to use my birthday coupon I got emailed to me for a free grand slam....... Now I have been using this coupon for years, and never once was I told that I had to purchase a drink, and the coupon doesnt state that a purchase has to be made. As I'm placing my order, I tell the manager that I want to use my coupon and he tells me that I have to purchase a drink.....I tell him that I never had to purchase one before, and the coupon doesn't state anywhere that a drink purchase has to be made. He then tells me that every Denny's is different and I have to purchase a drink there, if I want to use my coupon. I did not want a drink from there, I already had my beverage of choice that I wanted to enjoy with my breakfast. Its my freaking birthday and he was trying to getting over on me, for crying out loud.....some straight bullsh*t!!!! read more

Came to eat at this dennys in the morning today and Lydia was the best server for us! Thank you lydia! Definitely will be back

Not recommended. The customer service is terrible. This is my story: On October, 2021 a student friend and I went in for breakfast around 9:30 in the morning. Although the place was empty the host, a young Indian boy, told us the wait was 20 minutes. It was hard to imagine a wait like that in an empty place, but we sat down anyway. After about 10 minutes of observing the tables that had patrons, I noticed that not a single table had been visited by a server. No wonder the wait was 20 minutes! We left. I'm generally a fan of Denny's for a quick, reasonably priced meal, but the management of this particular store is clearly sub par. My advice is to go to the IHop across the street. We were seated instantly and our food was fast, hot and delicious. read more

Like always this place is busy at night but our server managed to be prompt and attentive suggesting a Steak with grilled mushrooms and onions with mashed and potatoes with sour cream and bacon ( servers sugestiona) it was fire ... thank you Sabbdu I'd definitely come back ... muy amable read more

GHETTO....Going to UCR for school, you know there are areas you should not go into, the best rule of thumb is, don't go more that 2 blocks out of the main campus. It is literally surrounded by drug dealers, prostitute, homeless bums, hotels and motels (and I'm not kidding you, just drive on University after dark). This place is ONE block away from Campus, their wait is VERY VERY bad from 6-8pm. I'm not even going to get into the food...it's just like all Denny's, CoCo's and IHOPS, you would get better food, but they are either too far, too expensive, of the wait is too long! read more

I don't know why it has so many bad reviews...it's like every other dennys I've been to...moderately clean, good food, normal prices. Sometimes it takes the staff a bit to function, but otherwise it's fine. In fact, I would have expected it to be super ghetto because it's on university, but I was pleasantly surprised! read more

Wanted a late night snack and some coffee to wake me up and Dennys is usually the only place open. This one was very nice inside and clean. The waiter made me a fresh pot of coffee, kept it topped off. My food came out quick and perfect. Gotta get my Dennys fix now and than. good stuff! read more

I ate here on 8 Aug 2016. At 9:39 or so. Order number 638015. Janice the server was okay. The place was mostly empty. No lines. They don't have many parking places but they are there and reserved for Denny's customers. I came there to try the new pancakes. I found my pancakes undercooked in the center. See picture. I think that the cook slipped that night in rushing to make the pancakes. My order of pancakes took about 7 minutes to get to my table after i put it in. I don't know if that is fast or slow. Ordinarily I believed they had great food. The pancakes did taste okay until I got to the center. I will still be a Denny's customer after this but I will eat at another Denny's. read more

All Dennys rest no longer serve oatmeal which is stupid. Therefore we will no longer be going there after all these years.

Amazing customer service from brenda, making sure we are comfortable & attended us with such a positive attitude.

Food service was excellent as always, customer service is spot on, efficient, and friendly! Special shout-out to Lydia who was absolutely amazing! read more

Denny's is a solid place for your typical American breakfast. The staff here at this one off University are efficient and always friendly! Our waitress, Brenda, went above and beyond to even suggest modifications to our order that would enhance our meals. Great service! read more

I'll start this review by saying something good: The waitress was very nice. I ordered an iced coffee that was very watered down & I also ordered the Slamburger. The burger was pretty good, until I saw a cockroach on the table. DISGUSTING! I told one of the employees about it and they didn't seem to care. If you're craving Denny's, go to a different one. I've never had this problem at any of the other ones in the Riverside area. read more

giselle provided great service and made our experience at dennys fun and inviting! will be back again

i went in to get some breakfast, which was good. overall my service was terrible. My server Consuelo was cracking jokes with other tables but did not check on me once. She didn't give me napkins when I asked for some politely. She didn't top off my coffee either until I asked for my check she wanted to provide service. I'm never the type to be angry because i myself work in the food industry so I understand but i wasn't happy with my service today. read more

Great food and quick service. Felicia has been our favorite server for over 10 years!

Alexa is the sweetest waitress. Always attentive and awesome customer service! Lucky to get her every time we come .

So I got a birthday offer in my email and decided to go get some breakfast. I was kinda excited but still its disappointing to not be able to sit down and enjoy your food during the pandemic (it is what it is- still) So basic Build your own Grand Slam for free! I ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. BUT while I was waiting I got a phone call which led me to go outside so I didn't disturb the few others in the building waiting for their orders. Then a homeless looking man walked up and mumbled to other men that were coming and going. He never said anything to me. He started to walk away and I yelled to him "Are you hungry?" He put up his hands in a prayer formation and somehow told me he was thirsty. After waiting for a little longer for food, the man that I assume to be a manager handed me my bag. I asked for a large ice water and he obliged with as much enthusiasm as anyone giving away free food while barely surviving during the pandemic can- I walked outside and handed the entire thing to the homeless guy. lol I said "here's breakfast!" I do plan to return to this location when things are "normal" I hope more people take care of other people. Life is hard! If you are doing "well" (which for me is just getting by), then share! read more

The lumber jack great meal service excellent by Linda love every time I come here place been remodeled is clean nice

Good thing Dennys is open 24 hours. It's certainly a good place for midnight munchies or if you're a gym rat on a budget. There's the $4 everyday breakfast slam that's loaded with macros and I think it's actually worth. My friends and I usually get it after every workout. But anyway, this time my friend and I got a turkey sandwich and zesty nachos and they were bomb. Check out my picture of it. As for the inside, it's pretty spacious and clean for the most part. But, I always get a little bad vibes when I come here though. There's always sketchy people lingering around and it makes me feel unsafe, but it's not Denny's fault I guess. Just a little fyi for whoever reads this review. But anyway, 3 stars because of the service. I was barely given any time to look at my menu, not even 1 minute. I'm not exaggerating. The waiter said he would come back in 3 minutes but my friend and I waited for such a long time and we saw that he was just socializing with other coworkers. We even requested water when we sat down, but never received it. The good thing is that luckily we can pay with the machines on the tables because we waited forever for our check to come after asking for it too. So, my friend and I said "screw it," we wont pay in person, just use the machine and leave. We got tired of waiting. Hopefully they can change this problem and for the guy to stop hugging and talking to other coworkers. I love that theyre having good vibes and spreading some love in the air but this is totally not professional. Save it for later so I can stop waiting for 15+ mins. Would've given 1 star, but the food was alright. read more

I come to this Denny's often after my 8am lectures. Place is super chill and the staff is friendly too. The place doesn't get too busy and so it's really calm. However, I don't think many people come here because of the parking. Other than that this Denny's is one of the good ones in this area. read more

This place is DISGUSTING I found a thick black hair hair in my chorizo skillet I seriously almost threw up. I let the waitress know and she informed the manager and they took it off my bill. But the fact of the matter is that I was disgusted & I didnt enjoi my meal the whole experience was terrible. read more

Lydia was super helpful, great server & super sweet give her a raise she deserves it !!!!
