Excellent visit today at this restaurant. The food was good, bathrooms were clean and the atmosphere was inviting. The one thing that will bring me back is the customer service. The waitress was exceptional. She was attentive, just enough, polite, engaging and courteous. She did not rush us but made sure we had what we needed when we needed it. I will be back Dennys, well done. read more

Let's talk about Soledad. I know zero about Soledad aside from the fact I've been blowing through it on my way to visit my son up north. Oh, and there's a prison, but that's for a different Yelp review. I, like many of you, judge a meal solely by the food. There's really nothing to say about Dennys. It's like visiting your grandma. Consistent and comforting. Same with the ambiance. You know what you're getting at Denny's.But today's review is more about the service. Tonight, after a long day driving, we eschewed fast food and decided on something familiar and comfortable. Denny's in Soledad. My husband and I were waited on by Angela, who was cheerful , friendly, engaging, and helpful. She recommended an unexpected condiment to my soup (freshly squeezed lemon), and it was money. She made sure my husband had enough ice tea. I teased her about how careful she was being when bringing my soup. She seemed to really like her job and took pride in how well she did it. And it showed. I am writing this review to encourage any weary traveler to consider stopping at Dennys in Soledad. Maybe ask to sit in Angela's area. And if you order the vegetable beef soup, don't forget to request lemon slices on the side. You'll be pleasantly surprised. On all levels. read more

Horrible service I am vegan and asked for a vegan burger they made me a beef burger I asked them could they give me different style fries when they fix my order from the ones I ordered Skye R. took the order which I waited a while for it to come back with same fries, I inquired about fries she said she needed to ask manager after I waited all that time ( like why didn't you do that already) with no accommodation for messing up my order not even a cup of courtesy water or an apology read more

Excellent service and food at 4:00AM. The food was prepared perfectly and came quickly. The best part of the meal was meeting our server, Chantal. She was so very polite and friendly. We really enjoyed her. If our travels take us near there again, we will surely drop in and we hope Chantal is working. read more

Always good to come back to my first home and visit. Dennys is always there when I come back and always improving. Service and atmosphere get better and better everytime. read more

I wanted to take the time to say that I had the best experience dining in this Denny's my family and I were just passing by from a long trip this weekend and the server Chantal was just amazing she keep on checking on us, and manager Monica was amazing great charisma great people the restaurant was clean and staff so friendly I definitely recommend this place. read more

I am very disappointed in all of their servings all my food was half served! I would really enjoy Denny's but after yesterdays takeout im very disappointed! I drove all the way from greenfield to only get back home to shitty served food! I paid $7.99 for Onion rings to only get 5 onion rings? Total not worth the price! read more

Denny's - I had ordered a side of Onion Rings that I paid $7.99 for to only get 5 onion rings? - American Near Me - Soledad, California

Pulled over here to have lunch on a road trip. Great meal for a decent price. Service was overall pretty good (considering our waitress was in training) and the food was great. People who are complaining about the bad service are either overreacting or are too shy to call over a waitress. No complaints with the service. Great place overall. read more

We stopped here for a late breakfast and had a perfectly fine dining experience. The food was exactly what you would expect from Denny's. Their Covid precautions were more than adequate, especially because they were not particularly busy. We felt safe the entire time. Our server, Litzy, did a great job. Everything was clean and the entire staff was friendly. read more

40 minutes to get 4 egg dishes and my friend's came in cold and without bread until they brought out the 4th dish of chicken nuggets 10 minutes later. I get that it's crowded but damn read more

Just wow. Service is very horrible. Waitstaff would make eye contact but never asked us how we were doing. Waited for a box and never got it and left my food. Most definitely not returning. read more

I ordered online went to go get my food when I got home I checked my food and it had a little bit of serving so I drove back for it and complained that it had a little bit of portions and the lady got mad said that she made it started being dramatic and proceeded to talk and saying she wood never do that but she did I'm not the type to write Yelp reviews but she was being a b**** and then she finally went to go make it and then still forgot my utenciles read more

We eat out a lot! This was by far the worse service I have ever received. 3 of us ordered 3 simple meals. I ordered an omelet- no peppers but add mushrooms. Food took 45 minutes- and all we could hear was the server talking about how picky I was! For NOT wanting peppers! The food was hot although I still received peppers... good thing it's not an allergy. No drink refills, empty ketchup bottle (server rolled eyes when I asked for another one), my toast took 10 minutes after my food came out! I managed a chain restaurant in my early years and this server and cook would not have lasted 1 week under my management! Save your money and go to McDonald's or Taco Bell! Also got charged for things we didn't order- server was terrible! read more

Horrible service my girlfriend was visiting from out of town we arrived at the dennys at around 1230 it wasn't busy so they sat us down and we were looking at the menu for a while and our waiter didn't get there I looked and most of them were gossiping in the kitchen and another couple arrived after us and they got there drinks and order done we waited for 20 minutes we decided to leave I've never had any issues with this dennys read more

amazing fucking service and monica and alicia gave us great customer service as we stopped and ate there on our way back to san diego i will definitely come back and recommend this place great people great staff everyone is so nice read more

I have had mixed experiences here, I come often because I am always hungry and I tend to come late at night because it's the only place open. Sometimes it's good sometimes it could be better. Milkshakes are always 100% amazing, but service could be better. Maybe they are training new staff which I understand. But tonight I didn't like the service, the server never brought me my panookie even though I asked for it to come out at the same time as all the other food, not as dessert. All the other food was done and we were full and we asked for the panookie not to be made cause it's basically too late and they took it off but never brought the to go box or cup we asked for. Also a chicken addiction bowl already has mushroom and they charged for mushrooms, idk I just didn't have a good time. The server honestly had plenty of time to take us what we asked for too, myself working as a server at a Dennys. Idk maybe they were new read more

Horrible service, gave me my food 30 minutes after the pickup time. The Manager is unprofessional and and yelled at my husband when we requested a refund. She refused to give her name and we were told her name is Elvira, the manner she spoke was hateful and threatening as if she were on the street and not in a family diner. Denny's please do better have better training and no more false advertising, if you can't fulfill an in order in 20 minutes don't take my money and say you can. Elvira please be professional and treat people with respect remember you need to set an example for your staff, they're as good as the manager in turn. Being you it doesn't give them room for much growth, since your example and standards are below average. read more

Great customer service each time we come. And I love that we don't have to be waiting forever on our food.

I've never eaten here but I've ordered food to go and it's not bad. I've had pretty good service most of the time.

We waited up front not once were we asked if we needed to be seated. Then when we asked they sat us down we waited 10 min and they sat another family next to us. 2-3 min go by they ask THEM what they wanted to drink... still waiting to be asked what we wanted to drink... they go get them their drinks come back ask them if they were ready to ORDER!!! Okay is my family & I invisible ??? We ended up leaving. After not being asked anything!!! Rude, Rude, Rude!!! This is not the first time we had bad service here. Not going back ever. read more

Went there on Sep 18th and only 2 employees were wearing mask. The place is part of Monterey county and mask is required inside.

Could be the worst Dennys ever. Bummed because I live in this town. Food half cooked. I am talking about Wet bread served as toast. Hash browns undercooked. Sent plate back for toast instead of wet bread and cooked home fries instead of not cooked potatoes. Plates came back with good toast and not cooked potatoes. Waitress never checked in on us- of filled coffee. Never coming back. read more

bad service, don't even get their mobile orders correctly. They forgot to add my gravy and food was cold .

This Denny's is what you would expect from any Denny's. The food was good. The service was whatever's waitress had a little attitude being expressed but this is about the food. I ordered the honey jalapeño bacon slam. Bacon had nice flavor. It's reads as premium thick cut bacon compared to the regular bacon all other plates have. It is thicker but otherwise not much difference besides the flavor. I thought it would be much larger. You can compare the bacons in my pictures. Overall good read more

Damn no luck at Dennys for us. Sat and waited for about 20min before we 3ven got asked what we would like to drink. Once we ordered it took another 20min because our waitress was on her cell phone. Smh horrible service. Oh wait the food is not here yet! Wow then she comes over and tells me they are busy but busy in her cell phone. We are looking at one waitress working her ass off while our waitress busy o her cell phone yet again. Not one refill and our food arrived but no fries lol. Don't come here as you will regret it read more

The food was filling and of good quality, genuinely satisfying in my opinion. As well as the friendly and patient staff. All in all it was a nice experience for me and my friend we enjoyed our time and would not mind stopping by again. read more

Great Survice & Great Food!! Friendly staff & definitely will be back. Best place to eat breakfast in Soledad.

I've had a couple of long-delay experiences in other Denny's, so wasn't expecting much when we stopped enroute to San Jose from Solvang on a Sunday evening. But the staff was quite friendly and brought out our santa fe skillet, oreo milkshake, chicken/ham sandwiches in decent time. Overall, all the food was quite good. Prices were reasonable of course, and it is conveniently off the highway with ample parking. read more

The bourbon bacon cheeseburger was delicious! If you're a sauce person like me, you will like the sweet bourbon sauce. The sautéed peppers and mushrooms make it even tastier. Paired it with regular fries. This is my favorite burger here. read more

My family & were hungry on our way down from a fun morning at Point Lobos State Reserve in Carmel. It took awhile to be seated because the manager was taking payments & she said staff had to take their breaks. But our waitress was nice & cheerful. We ordered: the super bird, the grand slam, chicken fried steak, kids mac & cheese & a milkshake. It's what we usually order in our area & it tasted just as well here. It was a good meal & we were satisfied. Denny's is Denny's. I'm writing this because I appreciated the cheerfulness of our waitress & the good attitude she had. read more

I walked in about 8 a.m., and there were no people in the restaurant. Zero. Seats 80-100. First time ever. Ok, whatever, I'll have the place to myself. And should get the best service. Nope! Waitress did get me water, and I was ready to order, but she said she'd be back. So I wait, and wait. I'm not going to yell across the restaurant, or walk to servers area (about 100 feet away). So went to use the restroom. The music was on volume 10! It was horrible. Told my server, then asked a 2nd time if they could turn the volume down. Server brought someone else by bathroom to listen, but that's it. So I'm outta there. Then a manager type comes by and I tell her the situation. She was just rude. Actually pointed to the door as she motioned me out (like I was going to eat there anyway, I was on my way out before I saw her). Just for good measure, let a couple know, entering as I left, about the horrible service. Hope they took my advice and left,too. 4 employees, and 0-2 customers. Bad ratio, for a bad restaurant. And I was a server for 6 years. read more

When you walk in the place you are greeted and then seated. You are seated for awhile until someone comes to take your drink orders! We waited 10 minutes till someone came over to take our drink orders. While we were waiting I went to the bathroom and it just stank! They place was a mess in the bathroom! The floors were a mess. The person finally came to take our drink orders and we also decided it would be best to order our food, too. The drinks came out and the server got some on the table while putting it down. My husband had to ask for napkins. The napkins didn't come. We asked another server and we waited. The napkins never came. We just Waite for our food. I then turned to the order computer and told my husband it's going to be awhile loom the whole screen is filled with orders. Everyone around us was just waiting and waiting for their food. One table even left since they didn't get their order in. When we got our meal my husband asked again for napkins. The lady finally and it us napkins. My husband started eating his salad. The salad was not fresh and the leaves looked horrid! My pancakes were overly cooked, too! So horrible! The lady apologized and offered us 15% off. It was just a horrible experience. I won't e coming here again. read more

First of all, I order boneless chicken and was eating first bit of chicken really salted... I

Meh! I haven't been to a Denny's in a very long time; so to be honest I didn't know what to expect. I guess I wanted to be brought back to my childhood eating out with my family on a Sunday morning. Overall Denny's was A-Ok. The restaurant was clean our server was polite and attentive. We were seated fairly quickly. So why the three stars you may ask... Well... When you go out to eat you expect great food. We honestly didn't receive that. I ordered the so called "Crazy Spicy Skillet" there was no spiciness to that dish what so ever. I felt cheated; the potatoes had to be from a bag (frozen) the veggies tasted the same (from a bag) and yup! you guessed it, the chicken, from a bag. Nothing on that plate tasted fresh. Well; except for my toast. lol. Which by the way I had to pay extra for. My lady got the Super Bird. I'm not gonna knock the Bird only because how can you possibly get a deli sandwich to taste bad. So I'm not gonna hate on it because it tasted well. Good flavor not bad but not great. However; those fries... what a shocker... from a bag. Overall, Denny's here and I feel it's safe to assume all Denny's elsewhere use frozen bagged food for their cooking. My recommendation to those who want to eat at a Denny's. DON'T! You're better off cooking at home. read more

Giving 1 star is being super generous. Horrible horrible service and the manager unfortunately didn't make the situation any better. Starve if you have to before eating here! I sat over an hour for a take out salad and appetizer. read more

Horrible customer service! The waitress was super rude, she got the order wrong and argued with my sister that it was correct. I been going to this Denny's since they open, and I have never had any bad experience until today. We miss the old staff, who were very friendly, and provided great customer service even when they were busy. read more

Good service, for once (usually have to wait 25 min just to get asked what I want to drink), terrible food.........I was served by James and Aldo, great guys good at what they do, when seated by other employees I get bad service, the food is always awful, hard buns, soggy or burnt fries, water-tasting soft drinks, and dry meat. Do not recommend at all, it's always the same bad experience, last time ever coming here again, James and Aldo deserve a little recognition they were the only good part of this whole experience they kept my glass full and were just looking to make my experience better even though the rest of the staff was not. Bad cook. read more

Great Service THEORY Waitresses Wherev Very Nice ANDROID curdious. This location is more calm and relaxed than others I enjoyed my dinner a nice burger cooked the way I ordered it. I would like to come back here again I would However like to see cleaner tables but other than that I highly recommend this Dennis to everyone read more

Do not come here. Worst Denny's EVER. We waited 25 minutes to get our food, even though there were only two other tables seated in the entire place. Then when she brought it out, one of the orders was completely wrong. As in - we ordered something off the breakfast menu and they brought a burger. Then after another 10 minutes they brought out the correct meal, but gave us ham instead of sausage like we had asked for. Also forgot the pancakes. Another 15 minutes goes by and we are about done eating our entire meal and she asks if we got our pancakes yet. She yells back to the kitchen about the pancakes another 3-4 times before we finally tell them we just want the check and want to leave. Drinks had been empty, needed refills for awhile. We watched two couples come in and stand around waiting to be seated before finally deciding to just leave and go somewhere else. When we got our check, they charged us full price even though they had messed up almost everything and kept us waiting an extremely long time. Also, the bathroom smelled absolutely disgusting and made me want to throw up. So gross. NEVER AGAIN read more
