Stopped here for breakfast when I had some downtime at work and I did not regret it. I was a party of one so there was no wait to be seated during rush hour and my food came out within 15 minutes of ordering it. The staff was very attentive and checked on me and refilled my coffee multiple times throughout my visit. Another perk is they have free Wi-Fi so I was able to work on some school assignments during my visit. All of my food was fresh and hot, definitely need to come here more often. read more

Denny's - Country Fried Steak & Eggs - American Near Me - Riverside, California

I usually come here often but this time was not a good experience. Took about 5 minutes for me and my son to be noticed. We were seated and waited for someone to get our drinks that took another 7 min, they didn't want to honor my free breakfast for my birthday. They called the manager on duty and she was confused but ended up giving me my food for free. I just wouldn't go back read more

Everyone knows about Denny's food -- it's pretty much a hit or miss. It's Denny's, so you know what to expect. Considering I was about half asleep when I ate here, I believe I was most happy that the service was friendly and they had hot coffee. The restaurant is clean, the servers are friendly and attentive and the food is good for the price. I enjoyed it. i had scrambled eggs when i go to dennys, they never seem to get the runny part cooked when fried. If you're hungry and want something simple and filling, it's a great choice. oh and the bathroom was clean too read more

My daughter loves dennys and we would always go whenever she has shortened period. Today we walked in to Dennys at Van Buren and no employee at the front. I can see servers walking around but didn't say anything like they didn't even say "we will be with you in a minute". Just silence. So i said to one employee (which looks like he hated his job, no smiles or anything) face) we wanna be seated and he said wait 5 minutes. Ok. So me and my daughter just stand there. People started coming at the front to pay and this employee with no emotion or anything started checking out people. One check out.. fine.. take note i am standing at the front. Second check out .. i need to say something. I ask again.. when are we going to be seated and he the employee got rude and everything saying that he said 5 mins and it had only been 2 min and this is not mcdonalds.. like wtf? If you hate your job don't work there. We walk out saying to myself oooh not today! You have the rudest customer service . Me and my daughter are having a good day and i want to treat her to her favorite breakfast place and you just ruined it. Ive been to this place and other employees are not like you. Its not even busy and looks like you hated coming there . Then quit!! We won't be coming back again and just go eastvale where employees welcome you with a smile and not ignore you like you annoy them. For this employee that is so rude remember this, If people stops coming there you won't have any job so do it right. Be nice to customer and wear a smile going to work. Worst experience ever. read more

Had the best sever Jimmy, food was well Denny's food can't complain. Didn't have any problems restaurant was super clean and enjoyed our time there! read more

Amazing service from Itary!! My family and I came and everyone was very friendly but as our server, she did a very good job. Our food came out great and was very good and received quickly. We were constantly checked on by Silvia and I would say that this place is family-friendly for everyone. 10/10 read more

Took a while to order but it looked like she was the only waitress. Although you know the manager was here and could of probably stepped in. Good odds usually god but eggs Benedict were the worst ever. The mission is raw, not even warmed or toasted. How do I know, hmmmm maybe the child missing coming through the hot food spoke volumes!! It made for a really bad experience. And you know I'm not going to have it replaced. Nope. Waitress was ok, although two napkins does not cover what we asked for, lol. Ok enough. Please Denny's toast your muffins it was really gross!!! read more

Denny's is one of those late-night cravings I have where almost anything tastes good. In the daytime however, unless you're ordering a sandwich or grand slam, it's more of a miss than a hit. My hubby's fries felt a little frozen which (for some reason) surprised me, also his onion rings didn't seem to be cooked all the way. My chicken and gravy bowl (I think that's what it's called) was okay except the gravy wasn't my favorite. Been going to Denny's since I was a child, and it's sad to see the prices go up (granted, probably due to COVID) but the quality not rise up to meet it. read more

Avoid this place at any cost. We came here on a not so busy night and service was non-existent. Food is average just like any other Denny's but the service is what really ruins it. Waitress kept forgetting to bring items we'd ask for. read more

First and last time in this dennys, we waited 30 minutes to get asked if we wanted drinks, and when she brought them she made sure to grab each one by the rim of the cups she was gonna take the straws she just put down back and when i asked for them back she handed them and ran off before we could say we wanted to order, we left. read more

Ordered the eggs in a basket with bacon. Waitress made fresh coffee for me and the food was hot and tasted very good! The restaurant was very clean inside. One of the better Denny's I have been to. read more

Denny's - Eggs in a blanket with cheddar cheese hash browns. - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Unfortunately had a bad experience. Was told it was a 15-20 minute wait to get seated, I waited patiently unlike other customers who I saw kept asking repeatedly to be seated. I ended up waiting an hour to get seated. I then waited an hour for a server to nice we hadn't been helped yet for drinks or order food. Ridiculous.. I didn't complain because by the looks of it, I probably would've had to wait another hour to speak to someone lol. read more

I only give this Dennys two stars bc there food is always good. However, it ends there. The manager is MIA, hosts don't exist, servers are overwhelmed with greeting tables and serving them so they barely get to the door. Might I mention the servers have to cash out tables as well. There are some sharp servers there, Alina, Yesenia and Gema...but other than that, I can't say the experience in this Dennys is welcoming. The homeless outside bombard you before and after for money. The bathrooms are always smelling horrendous from homeless coming in and Disraeli for them entirely read more

I will give this place 3 stars, based on all my experiences were good besides my last. Denny's is never my first choice, but my dad and my son love it. Service is good. Appearance in diner is great. Food is okay. The last 2 times I've been there, they didn't have one thing I wanted or another. Real reason for this post is because their bathroom is just disgusting. It really turned me off, I also don't see myself going back to the Van Buren Location. Only one stall was open, and it was filthy. Tissue everywhere on the floor and in the toilet, pee in the toilet and it freaking smelled. I went to Albertsons to use the bathroom instead. Funny thing is, they have a sign in he bathroom saying how they pride cleanliness. Lol gross. read more

Denny's - Bathroom is just filthy. Restaurant wasn't even busy either and they had enough staff to clean, I'm assuming. - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Food is awesome..as always!!! However....2 stars for cleanliness! Due to the booth not being properly cleaned after the previous customers...I slipped getting in the booth and my toenail lifted...causing it to bleed and throb with pain! Manager and waitresses were very apologetic and gave me bandaids..however no discount was offered (would've been nice just to offer)! Not to mention....today is my birthday!! read more

horrible , came in at 8 pm no people there was little bit , But waited about half an hour for my food and when she came wit the food my order was wrong ,like what And the side of broccoli was like small pieces broken up and alittle bit , wow now another half hour to wait for the right plate read more

Food was cold, service was horrible Was even waiting just to pay in the front Everyone else was checked on at least 4-5 times and was looked past when I only needed an extra set of utensils read more

I had a horrible experience here because our server Jimmy was very rude. When my fiancée asked for a straw, he said, "Are you serious?! Do you know how exhausting that is? Why didn't you ask me earlier?" And on top of that, he never brought the the straw nor did he check on us during the course of our meal. read more

This Denny's used to be really good. I'm not sure what happened but whatever it is needs to be looked at by upper management. We used to go there and were always really pleased with the food and service. The last several times we have gone there has been horrible. The place is really dirty. Food, spills and trash all over the floor. All the tables need to be cleaned. After waiting for a table to be cleaned there is only one waitress handling all the tables. The people that work there are friendly enough, it's the manager that doesn't seem to care. The company needs to hire management that cares and is on top of things. The manager at this particular Denny's maybe can't help that he is morbidly obese but he should not be just standing around eating and not paying attention. He is not friendly, he just doesn't seem to care. He is lazy and has sweat dripping off him. Seriously. I don't want my food served with someone else's sweat in it. We have gone back because we keep hoping this particular Denny's would literally clean up their act. Since it remains this way, we will not be going back. read more

Ordered some breakfast for me and my husband it was fresh and very delicious!! I recommend there prime rib omelet very delicious!

Normally yes I recommend this place. But today they get a thumbs up, this time it's a thumbs down. Shame on the attitude of the hostess without the mostest. There was no TP in either bathroom! And these are the giant size rolls! There was absolutely none! When we told someone they went to get it and came back with one; I told the hostess your going to need 2, both bathrooms have absolutely no toilet paper. She remarked "Okaaaay ma'am!" And I seriously mean with an attitude. I told her don't answer me like that. She rolled her eyes. And yes I could see them roll! I said shame on you for the attitude. She just came out laughing and tells her co workers. Which did not look good. There is nothing worse than my daughter sitting on a toilet with no TP and having to use the toilet seat covers to clean. To top it off the bathroom is not clean and smells bad. It just makes me feel sad because I like the waitress here and I come here very often. I feel horrible that they don't care and have the attitude that they do......:I am going to speak to the manager and hopefully he can she's some light on the attitude displayed here today. read more

I'm sorry the service was horrible the food was horrible they just need to hire new chefs new servers man it was not good at all

Nancy Nancy! Denny's food is Denny's food, You can get that anywhere but Nancy's service is 10 out of 10. We come here regularly as long as she is here. Our check is 25.00 but I leave her at least 10.00 in tip because I know she cares and always gives us 100%. read more

This place deserves more stars. I came in yesterday night for dinner after work, and I ordered a skillet but I mentioned I'm allergic to bell peppers. I'm assuming it was the manager, but he was so kind! He explained that the bell peppers came mixed with the onions they used and offered to replace the onions too! I appreciated that a ton, because I can't eat food that come into contact with bell peppers. I've never had this kind of consideration from ANY food establishment and I was so so so thankful for it. I come to this place a lot, and I think they have a new manager or shift leader. He was very attentive and kind, you could tell he was giving you 110%. I felt really bad when the couple next to me started being rude (the place was full and he was running around trying to please everyone) and I'm pretty sure they left without paying - but he handled their rudeness with upmost professionalism. I left full and very happy. Most definitely will be coming back. read more

Went there 2 separate times for work meetings. 1st time they said they could not accommodate us. There was 8 people! We only go because it's local. Second time, 30 minutes after I was there I started itching around my ankles. I have bites all over my ankles that itch so bad. Will never go back! read more

On Monday I ordered food for my mother. When I finished it gave me a pick up time. I called the store manager and explained that i thought i was ordering delivery. I live in a different city but was ordering food for my mother who was sick. The manager said I'll deliver the food myself. She received her food quickly and it tasted great. What the manager did not know was my mom has cancer and had an allergic reaction to chemotherapy that day. She was really sick. I never had to explain that. I said she was sick and I live in a different city, and bam he said I'll deliver it. Thank you!!! We will continue 2 support this store especially durning COVID-19. read more

I feel sorry for you. P.S please please clean your walls. Is not like your guys are doing much No customer empty lobby clean .....employees don't have to be on phone all the time there's so much to do in a restaurant read more

My wife and I has breakfast here. Newer Denny's - that is, the décor inside was new and upbeat. This was a plus. Staff here seemed to enjoy their jobs; good vibe from everyone. Meals were good, not great. My wife's omelet was over cooked and the '3-cheese' aspect was missing, not sure there was even -one cheese- on there. Fillings were good as was the OJ. My Grand slammwich was delicious, I mean everything was perfect. eggs cooked well; perfect amount of cheese, toast was perfect.....all was good. Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms. Overall good experience; one of the better Denny's we have ever been too. read more

Some hot chocolate and pie sure sounded good after the drive in. Now a 15 minute wait with only two customers in the restaurant, not so good. Right as we showed up the waitress told us if we could give her a minute. That was no problem but after ten minutes we approached her again. This time she seemed annoyed and told us to wait again. After waiting longer we finally were seated. As we were being seated, we were moved around due to the dirty tables. The only good experience here was the hot chocolate. The pumpkin pie was okay but the apple pie was soggy and smashed. I kind of wished I got some pie at McDonald's next-door! Not only was the food unimpressive, the service was even worse. After just constantly waiting in the beginning, we waited another 20 minutes to just pay. Keep in mind, this place was basically empty. The reason it took so long was because our waitress was yelling at the cook saying rude things like "uh do you think you can make this order right this time?." She totally just kept embarrassing him in front of everybody. This specific Denny's needs to either be completely flipped or shut down. From the other reviews I read here they mentioned bad service, food poisoning, and did I mention bad service? Save your time and money, go somewhere else. read more

I went to this Denny's for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. The ratings on Yelp did not do it justice. I had the strawberry crepe breakfast. The service was excellent, as was the food. My waitress took my order immediately, even though it was very crowded, and my order came very fast. The crepes were very good and my eggs were cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this Denny's. read more

Always good food and good service at this Denny's. Ask for Pete, he'll keep your coffee cup full and give friendly, attentive service. The strawberry waffle is excellent here; never soggy. Every omelette my boyfriend has had here, he gives top marks for flavor and quantity of fillings. The plac is always busy, but they turn tables quickly read more

As Denny's goes, this location is probably my favorite one in the IE. The staff is friendly and the food they serve is consistently of the quality they've become known for. I love breakfast and Denny's serves breakfast all day long which makes them my kind of place. I like their coffee and hardly ever visit without getting a cup of Joe. Three stars make them my I'm hungry for breakfast and wanna eat out go to. read more

C'Mon folks, this is Denny's, not Ruth's Chris's. You know what to expect, or at least you should. The staff here is very good. The waitresses are very friendly. The food is reasonably priced. This is a good place to take your family when you are looking for a step up from fast food. read more

One of the better locations in riverside as far as service and cleanliness. The food isn't great but at 3am after a night of partying if its not a pit stop at Alberto's then Denny's it is. A lot of food for a little price which is nice. I usually stick with the grand slam so I get a little bit of everything. read more

My Wife and I haven't been to this Denny's and I notice that it has been upgraded like Pomona and Upland in our area. My wife had a Breakfast dish with Fruit and bread and I had the Wild Salmon Skillet dinner with a side of soup-Clam Chowder (Bowl). the Chowder HAD A spicy taste to it. The Salmon and the rest of the food on the skillet tasted good. My wife had ice water and I had Iced tea. We had two detours on Van Buren, one near Arlington and the other one near the 60FWY. Denny's has ADA Parking near the front door. This Denny's is located near a Albertson's Mkt., Sav-On in a shopping center. Near the Van Buren Drive In theater. Don't forget to use your AARP membership for your Denny's discount on your total bill !!!! read more

I try to stay away from writing reviews on chains...cause they're chains...what do you expect?...but i was here this morning and Andrea was the server. she had a great attitude. im usually grumpy in the mornings, but she insisted on providing good service, and sending out infectious positive vibes, that put forced me to put on a better mood. The omelet was fine too. read more
