For the life of me, I do not understand the low reviews of Chili's Hanford here on Yelp…read more It's been a few trips to Chili's since my last review and I feel I have to upgrade my rating to 5 stars. Maybe we are lucky, or hitting the good crew schedule or something else. But... I kind of think some reviews are overblowing a minor challenge with a poor general review. C'mon folks - adopt a "Hang Loose" attitude and enjoy your meal. We have thoroughly enjoyed every trip to Hanford Chili's for the last several months. The food has always been good. Servers are very and happily accommodating. The general "feel" of the moment has been positive. We walk away happy and appreciative of our Chili's experience. To me, now, my rating is 5 stars.

Everything was good. My beer was delicious. My food was filling and the service was fine. Thank you…read moreJustin

I took both of my daughters here for lunch and ordered the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp…read more Since it was a weekday and there were plenty of open tables, I expected the service to be fairly quick. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. It took nearly 45 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, it was only lukewarm. Since the Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp is served on a skillet, I was expecting it to arrive sizzling hot, but it wasn't. That said, the food itself was good. The chicken and shrimp were cooked well, the seasoning was flavorful, and we enjoyed the taste. I also waited quite a while for drink refills but eventually gave up. Even the tabletop ordering system didn't have our drinks available to reorder, which made things a little more frustrating. Our server, Briana, was friendly, attentive whenever she was able to help, and had a great attitude. My only real disappointment was how slow the overall service was and how long it took for our food to come out. Despite the delays, we still had an okay experience. We'd be willing to come back and give them another chance, though we'll keep our expectations a bit lower next time.

Marrisa and Brie, the two bartenders who work on Friday and Saturday night, are fabulous. Both are very experienced at mixing drinks, and not afraid give you what you paid for. My food has always been very good for a restaurant at this price point, and the service on point. I had the 12 ounce rib eye cooked medium rare with two sides for $26. I usually pay $50 for just the steak in most restaurants in the South Bay and the sides are extra. If you're looking for an $80 meal, go somewhere else, but don't complain when you get the same meal for $30 and the meat is prepared a fraction off.

Good Grief !! Where do I start?! At the beginning, Jim…read more.. OK, so I'm in Hanford, California doing a favor for a friend after a long day working in Los Angeles then driving 3 hours! My options??? Grabbing some snacks at the hotel or taking the spectacular advice of April and Naesha at the front desk of the Fairfield Marriott, my hotel for the night. They also said that the Steak Bites were fantastic. After a quick shower, I took the 5 minute ride to the restaurant. Independent building, fairly nondescript but classy enough. Easy access with plenty of parking. You enter in to a dark, classy Italian restaurant. A large , open dining room straight ahead, and a small (but really cute) bar to the left. I chose eating at the bar, and I'm happy I did. Raquel, the Bartender took care of me with humor, seriousness, smiles, and incredible recommendations. Ordered a nice Zin and started perusing the menu. The nightly "specials" menu looked great, but the regular menu nailed me. Before I could even begin to make decisions, their bread arrived at the table with a small bowl of marinara sauce. Maybe the best I've had... EVER! Raquel was literally describing the recipe after I raved. Should have asked for a copy! Guess I knew then that I was about to be thrilled! I ordered some of the steak bites for the ladies at the hotel, then proceeded, knowing I was about to overeat AND take a feast back with me. Always a Caesar Salad as a starter, asking for it not to be overly saturated and they nailed it. Just a personal preference and this is massively nit picky, but just a hint more anchovy paste. Raquel then steered me to Shrimp Avocado Crostini as an appetizer. It truly left me speechless, and that's virtually impossible (just ask my kids). The perfectly toasted Crostini's, thinly sliced, a smear of the avocado, then a spoonful of heaven! I mean the warm shrimp goulash, salsa, soup... heck, whatever it was, was pure perfection. Limited myself to 3 pieces, about 9 bites, and only consumed about 1/3. For my main course I opted for a chicken dish as I often do. I chose the Spicy Chicken Chipotle with Penne Pasta, Blackened Chicken, bell peppers,edamame, mango... Now as I'm already achieving some pressure on my belt, all just have a couple bites. OOPS!!! Yup, it was THAT good! And it came out hot, as it should, a thing many restaurants miss on. I was confused after my first bite because it was unnaturally sublime! I devoured it!!! Just left enough to add it to the bounty traveling back to the hotel. Truly some of the very best pasta I've had anywhere. So now I'm stuffed and she comes over and says a naughty word, DESSERT! Crème Brûlée Cheesecake sound ok? Sure, I reply. Light, fluffy, not overly sweet, luscious caramel sauce... two perfect bites and into a to go package. The food, 10/10 The Service, 10/10 (Thanks Raquel!) The Atmosphere 9/10 Don't know if I will ever get the opportunity to return, but if I do it would be my honor to have a chance at trying more of the beautiful menu. Bon A-petite' Cheers

I was excited to try this restaurant since there aren't many upscale dining options in our area…read more The food was good and I enjoyed my meal, which is why I'm giving it a few stars. Unfortunately, the service was very slow. I sat in the bar area during happy hour and waited over an hour for my food. While I understand happy hour can be busy, the restaurant didn't appear overly crowded, so the wait felt excessive. Communication from the staff about the delay would have made the experience much better. The food quality was the highlight of my visit, but the long wait and slow service made the overall experience disappointing. I hope they can improve their timing because our community could really use a great local dining option.

The restaurant is clean with a wide selection of burgers to choose from. On our visit, the burgers were made to order and the fries were delicious & generous.

I called the restaurant and the peraon told me it doesnt come with rice and beans...but its literally listed on Uber like that...for almost $20. I also ordered 1 asada and 1 chorizo, both were chorizo. Ordered tres leches, also missing. The only correct thing that I ordered and received was the tostada, which wasn't exactly palatable because it was SO soupy! The bottom tortilla was just soggy mush. Positive note: the chorizo tastes good.

Server JAX was delightfully a literally ball of joy, even had to go behind the bar to fix another tables drinks which is absolutely obscured. Up his pay instantly because obviously your bar tenders can't do their job! Food was great, services on drink definitely affected our tips but JAX was great.

Place wasn't too busy but it took about 10mins to get our drink and food order in. After about 45mins place was pretty full and still not enough servers for all the customers. I ordered one beer, an order of cheese curds and a six piece boneless wings. All for the grand total of $29. Seems rather steep for one person and supposedly during happy hour. Don't think I got the happy hour special. Was nice hanging out with my friends. Place was a little loud but understandable with all the people there. Can't say I'll be coming back here anytime soon on my own at least. Be ready for long waits for service.

Excellent their service is excellent. The restaurant is very clean. It's the best DENNYS I've ever been to. I think you should give ever been a raise there because the Cook does everything that cooks do everything you ask and then they come out and they ask you if it was satisfactory I've never had a DENNYS anywhere in California do that so I highly recommend DENNYS and Hanford California.

I visited the Hanford Denny's on Tuesday at around 7:30 PM with my family, and unfortunately, our…read moreexperience was overshadowed by something that happened in the dining room. Three individuals seated nearby were having what appeared to be a work related conversation. They were speaking loudly enough that our entire table could clearly hear what was being said. Because the conversation sounded like it involved the restaurant, we asked our server if they worked there. We were told they were the owner, a general manager from the Visalia location, and the new general manager for the Hanford location. Throughout the conversation, they spoke negatively about other managers who either still work there, or recently stopped working there. They mentioned two individuals by name, one being Franky/Frankie and a Casandra/ Sandra. They criticized their work ethic, made comments about their appearance, and spoke about them in a way that came across as very disrespectful. As customers, this made my family and me very uncomfortable. No guest should have to listen to management discussing employees or coworkers in such a negative and unprofessional manner while trying to enjoy a meal. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and reflected poorly on the restaurant's leadership. The situation concerned us enough that we asked our server for the corporate contact information because we didn't feel comfortable bringing the issue to the management staff who were involved in the conversation. We genuinely felt this was something that should be addressed. Since then, I have contacted Denny's Corporate regarding this incident but have not received a response. Because I have been unable to get in touch with anyone about this matter, I felt it was important to share my experience publicly. This review isn't about a disagreement or poor service we simply believe that professionalism should extend to conversations held within earshot of guests. I sincerely hope this experience is taken seriously so that both employees and customers can enjoy a more respectful and professional environment.
