Great deal. Drinks. Sodas. Refills are free. Great service. Our server, Roque, was alone until 6 PM. The place is busy. Onion rings are very good. Ranch on the side. So yummy. Our burgers were well done. We weren't asked. Thats ok. We are leaving full & happy. read more

This location outdid themselves from our previous visit. We were a party of fourteen over the holidays. No reservations are taken, so we arrived at 9 on a Sunday, and they set up tables for us in the back annex area where there is also a small meeting space. We were all happy since we had 4 toddlers that they accommodated with kids' menus that have games on the backside-crayon provided, plus baby seats. Everyone in the nice main dining area appreciated that we were off on our own because we are a boisterous bunch. Service was helpful, accommodating and friendly. They provided us their holiday menu complete with cute Rudolph pancakes. I had fresh fruit along with perfect pancakes, my husband had their cheesy egg scramble. One family member had a tasty looking chicken salad. All the kids ate more than they normally do, so it was a big hit for everybody. read more

I brought my mom here early for Mother's Day since I'll be working Sunday, and unfortunately she found a piece of plastic stuck inside her pancakes. They did remove her meal from the check, which I appreciate, but this still should never happen to anyone. What if she hadn't noticed the plastic before eating it? Really disappointing experience, and of course we really got upset afterwards, especially for a special day with my mom. read more

Service took over 10 minutes to come to us at 10 past 3AM. It didn't seem busy, and the host/server did not say hi, but rather said "for two?". I understand being at Denny's at 3AM is not everyone's fave thing to do but the vibe was so awkward. She then took our order with "okay". Are you the manager? If so, set a better example. read more

Ihop more like iflop this place is trash my egg had hair in it and my coffee was turning green like wtf and the employee was not very nice and I had to wait 20 minutes just for my food to get done and my pancakes were dry worse IHOP I've been to. read more

The customer service was very good. Server was very attentive with a great attitude.... The cook on the other hand was horrible. Food was under cooked. Had excessive amounts of water in our food... The lady making the food should be put on dishes. She was very rude and disrespectful yelling at the server. Very disappointed with the quality of the food... read more

I love this Denny they're super friendly always busy on the weekends but they get you real quick my girl I think her name is Karen she is super nice and friendly I don't think the server can do it without her she gets everyone's orders in seconds. I also went another time when it wasn't the weekend and my girl was not there and non of the server pay attention to you until she showed up she took everyone orders in seconds. read more

We stopped by for breakfast while using the Tesla charging station located behind it. There is plenty of room and comfy seating and booths. Everything was meticulously clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our omelets were delicious, and the hash browns perfect! Flipping through the menu, I noticed several things I might try next time we come in...maybe for lunch. read more

This is the worst experience i've ever had at a restaurant in my entire life. The waitress was super rude and ignored us for 40 mins, even though it was very empty inside. I don't recommend ever coming here, we got there at 12 am and ended up leaving at 3 am because the service was so bad. I had to remind the waitress for my mango smoothie at least 4 times and in the end she brought me a strawberry banana one. read more

Dennys has a great selection of many different sweet or savory breakfasts! I usually go for savory but today I tried the berries waffles. They were so sweet I couldn't eat them. Just not my thing. I did love the hashbrowns and the ham I got. Just if you don't like overly sweet items don't try the waffles read more

GETTING HERE: This is the old Coco's on Telegraph and Ashwood in Ventura. Parking is best accessed off Telegraph IMO. Pass the corner gas station on the corner (if you're heading West) and then turn on in. REVIEW: OK. Where do I begin? This was a good enough eating experience with their food, but their service today equates to one word: yikes. It's an OK vibe with the diner vibes. Was pretty clean and not too busy even with the lunch crowd. But there was only one (1) server visible for the entire restaurant. The entire place! She was running and running hard. Doing her best, which was nice and she was hustling hard. Food was good. My guest loved their hash browns. Loved! The eggs were a tad runny for me, but over all it was tasty food. Server disappeared (literally) right after we asked for our check. We waited and waited and waited at the entrance. Finally an older lady appeared and rung us up. She was having a rough day herself, and it showed. Sadly. Left a bad taste for my guest and I as she didn't speak ONE WORD to us. No "thank you." Not even "hi". Nothing. As we walked away I yelled rather loudly to her, "THANK YOU" because her lack of acknowledgement of us as PAYING CUSTOMERS really kind of ticked me off. She chirped right up and thanked us. I told her I hope her day gets better. She said, "Me too." Hmm. Really? Not a plus for me. I'm sorry you're obviously short-staffed but I don't need to know your woes ma'am. I came here for a respite. 2.5 star experience rounded up to 3. I guess I'm meh on the recommendation or not. Maybe you'll get here on a better day. read more

I came on a Sat. late morning. It was moderately busy and I was seated pretty quickly. My server was Joselyn and she I could tell is very experienced. She was really fast, efficient. I was seated right by the Serving station, so I could hear that she kinda helps out the other servers. I know this is a newer location from the Dennys that was by the Harbor 101 exit. It seems clean, and cheerful. My food came out so quickly- they give free value Slam for birthday reward, so do sign up for rewards. So breakfast items must be pre-cooked so they can churn out busy breakfast so efficiently. Everything tasted at correct temps and decently cooked, I was pleasantly surprised. Prices for breakfast are a bit surprising how high they could be (several dishes were more than $20) - but restaurant prices everywhere have gone up to surprising levels. Breakfast can be more $$ than other lunch dishes but they are hearty portions. I do recommend Dennys when you want a comforting Breakfast. I don't usually choose to eat Dennys other than breakfast menu. read more

Food was good. The service was just pretty bad. Although our server was nice, she didn't check in with us once or give us any refills. She just let us order, gave us our food, and bill. I had to ask other servers to get me stuff that I needed. Also, they charge for salsa and pico de gallo lolll read more

Food. I don't know how the food tastes. We have been waiting for the chicken fried chicken and a burger for over 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES!!! Finally got the burger and now we wait for the chicken. Bells keep ringing and no food our way. They could have gone to Wendy's, bought two chicken sandwiches, brought it back to the restaurant and then put gravy over it and called it their own. Either this is the same from Black Angus or definitely a relative. read more

Food was good. Waitress need to improve their skills n manners. Manners not that good like always. Just lousy n not fast service. You need friendly servers n are excited to great customers n come to table n ask if u need anything else or a refill. Never once did they come to any table in my viewm read more

Okay, this is one of the cleanest Denny's locations I've ever been to! Normally, the Denny's locations I've gone to are dirty and give you a sketchy feeling, but this wasn't the case for this location. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately! Our waiter was friendly and very tentative! I got the strawberry stuffed French toast slam and my husband got the French toast slam! We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very tasty and affordable. This is now our go-to Denny's location. read more

I'm not one to usually leave reviews on major chain restaurants as i figured most people have been to them and know what to expect BUT this location simply has the best service and quick consistent food and service that I figured they needed a special kudos. This Dennys is a little ways from the freeway which is why I believe it's always less crowded then your typical Dennys. Don't get me wrong they do major business but thankfully I've never had to wait here even when coming at rush hours. That's why I really love this Dennys because it's easy in and out. The food is no frills classic Dennys, nothing I could tell you that you wouldn't already know. So I'll focus on service. I dined here this morning on 10/2/22 around 10am and I was so beyond impressed with the staff and overall flow of this restaurant. I nerd out on a well managed team given my early years in the food industry so forgive me. "Those who get it, get it, those who don't, don't." The restaurant was well stocked with staff to accommodate the morning rush. Everyone working was all smiles and super helpful. They had two gentlemen behind the counters cashing out orders, what looked to be a full kitchen, plenty of servers, and the efficient manager gal helping out. Here's what I loved: 1. I saw staff constantly sanitizing their hands behind the counter and keeping a clean workspace. 2. The manager was constantly praising her staff and saying "good job guys" and keeping the pace/standards. It was so refreshing to hear someone leading their staff and creating a positive praising work environment. Working in the food industry is hard and definitely staff at chains don't get enough credit but I was so pleased with the good vibes this morning. Sorry for the rant but I felt todays experience (and my past experiences here) warranted a good review as I'd come to this location above most others. read more

Good for a Dennys ! The staff was friendly and attentive and the place was clean. Tesla chargers brought me here so I figured why not grab breakfast while we wait for a charge. The new sweet cream cold brew is just as good as Starbucks (don't come for me). My teens had pancakes, eggs and sausage and also a steak like melt with onion rings. Large portions and a lot of care went into the preparation, as it was not sloppy. I had the salmon salad, the salmon may have been over seasoned but a little spice in your life isn't terrible lol. Karen B was my server and she was great ! They also offer a military discount :) read more

So I went in today which I thought would. I would get a cheap senior breakfast.l. Will not be going here again and I. Totally don't recommend it. I had a run out to my car. And I told them I'd be back with half of my breakfast eaten. When I came back it was gone. They? Gave me Faint apologies ( Ie nit really caring. But the real kids came when I got the bill. I had ordered an ice coffee which was just coffee and ice. And I had to ask for cream twice. That being said, they charge me $5.29.. I could have gotten your cheaper at MCDonald's and gotten a .Mocha. No wonder it's mostly empty. Do. Do Not go here read more

We went to this location last night for dinner. We were immediately greeted by the two employees. Our server was very friendly and polite. Our food was delish and great proportion's. We will definitely be back here! Nice to see some places to provide excellent customer service. read more

Best place to eat late night or early morning! Every time I have come here everything is perfect. If you come here after 1am expect the kitchen to be a bit slow. They actually do get really busy at that time with online orders. Lots of people leaving the bars and Dennys is the only thing open and they deliver. Regardless the food is always on point and the servers are super friendly, our favorites consist of Monica(she may have quit recently) and Taylor. All American dinner! read more

Service was down to only two people at 10:30 when we arrived followed shortly by a number of large parties. Those two were really nice and it didn't take long at all to get out food which was hot and tasty. My only complaint is I ordered hash browns crispy on Both sides, the server confirmed, but only one side was cooked. I didn't bother to send it back since everything else was correct. Eggs were fresh and scrambled firm but not hard. Bacon was crisp. Berry stuffed French toast was Super good. Very happy with everything. read more

Denny's - Berry Stuffed French Toast - American Near Me - Ventura, California

UPDATE: Aug 2023 Sadly, many of the very best employees and management have been driven away from what was an excellent staff. Contributing to this is the lack of professional decorum demonstrated by it's store manager. I have witnessed her in the past, verbally lambasting her employees, in a foul and abusive fashion. To do this to people in one's charge is horrible enough, but to them do it within earshot of customers, is demeaning and shaming. This manager recently bragged to me that she was promoted to a Training Store Manager, and I was horrified at the notion of this manager in a teaching position. Something needs to be done about this reprehensible store manager. Until then, there are plenty of other breakfast eateries in Ventura. Update June 28, 2023 Very shocked and sad to report a dangerous situation at the Denny's in Ventura this morning. Not sure in the legality of this, but apparently the manager directed their staff to open the restaurant for business, in spite of their being almost no electricity in the customer dining areas. It is dark and potentially a dangerous situation. Who in their right mind puts a business at risk by opening with inadequate lighting in the restaurant? Major failure on the part of the manager. This update above is from Wednesday morning June 28, 2023. read more

Great experience. Our server Nikki was the bomb and attentive. The restaurant was clean.

Rocky was our server and he was very well mannered and professional. We were satisfied with our visit

I was feeling ok when I got here and now I feel drowsy tired had bad diarrhea. I hope they don't do bad to the food someone here had made it seem like there was going to be a hospital visit I've eaten at this Chinese before and the last time I was sick too but I didn't order any meat this time I had pancakes eggs and I've been drinking tea all night and I like the way that she takes I mean I would hope that they don't put sedatives in or any bad I even tipped her now I feel like I have to go to the bathroom again read more

Hashbrowns are paper thin and hard/burnt. You can literally pick it all up with two fingers. Just potato and oil, how do you mess it up this bad. Has to be a joke at this point. read more

Denny's is Denny's. That being said, along with the other reviews this one is better than others. Maybe it is because it's a bit from the freeway. Denny's has gone through a menu re vamp the past few years. Breakfast is always decent. I opted for a burger around dinner time last weekend. The burger was insanely juicy and tasted good. I would have wanted more fries, but I guess that's better for me. Our server was friendly and attentive to our table. This Denny's is very quiet. At Dennys you're not going to write home about the food; but the burgers are pretty decent. And you get what you pay for. Overall this Denny's is a good location to come to. read more

Good service and good food. I would definitely return and recommend Dennys to much friends. The price is right also.

It has been a while I have not eaten at a Denny's. This location the service, the personnel is friendly and professional. The dinner area, boot tables and floors were clean with no crumbs on the floor nor on the boot seating areas. The women's bathroom was very clean. The only reason, this location did not get 5 stars is because the breakfast meal ordered the hash browns was burnt. The egg omelette with caramelized onions, bacon, tomatoes and cheddar cheese were also too cooked and burnt as well. The buttermilk pancakes and coffee were perfect. I would come back, however management needs to pay attention with the food prior to be served to the customer. This location has potential to rank with greater reviews. read more
