Denny’s

By far the DIRTIEST Dennys I have ever been in! I ordered the Salmon skillet and the pad that was on the handle was FILTHY! I start really looking around after that and the floor was covered in food and trash. The manager was walking around doing absolutely NOTHING! Before leaving and continuing on my way i thought the bathroom was a good idea… OH HECK NO!!! I didnt even go! it was beyond GROSS! So if you can I recommend you driving the extra 2 miles up the road to the other Restaurants they are much much cleaner!

Great food even in the middle of the night, and our server Kalie was on top of everything and made sure we had plenty of water and salsa. We had previously stopped at the Denny’s in Buttonwillow and it was awful, the food was poorly cooked and the portions were much smaller than average. This is by far the better restaurant and anyone driving along the 5 is advised to stop here and not any of the other Denny’s in the area.

The employees there are horrible, came in, grabbed my own menu, sat myself, not one word from a single staff. Even though I made eye contact with every single one of them with a smile. It’s a grim morning inside that place. My husband had to use the bathroom, he came back quickly commenting that the bathrooms were beyond disgusting. So bad that he didn’t even go pee or want to eat there. I didn’t mind since I didn’t so much get a «welcome» or «I’ll be right with you» we were like ghosts in a low grade atmosphere. On to the next food spot.

I have to give this place a five star. Because I know for a fact when I went here last month with my boyfriend, after we were driving back from Disneyland. There was a waitress there I believe her name was Dawn. OMG. She was absolutely amazing. I felt like she ran everything. She was perfect. If I could I would drive all the way back there just to have her serve me again. So friendly and such good memory. I just absolutely loved her! Great job Dawn. Hopefully we’ll see you soon again!

Called in our order, it was a rather large order. Told us it would be ready in 20 min. Food was done on time. Everyone was very nice. Would give 5 stars but the prep forgot the syrup. Other than that, the food was good.

A sad day at Denny’s. I’m usually at least satisfied at Denny’s, and my wife and I stop and eat at these places when we are trippin’. But today I had been driving four hours waiting for the time we could stop for breakfast because I have been wanting to try their holiday special «Pumpkin Pecan Pie Pancakes.» I had been seeing these on TV ads for two months and finally was in a position to have some.
So Denny’s here at the bottom of the Grapevine was THE place at breakfast time. We went in and ordered and we were told they had run out of pecans. Dang. Someone didn’t do their job so now *I* must suffer. But were were there so we both just ordered a regular bacon-​and-​eggs («over medium») breakfast. The meals arrived soon enough but all of our eggs were over HARD, not runny or soft at all.
The whole visit was a huge letdown. The server was a very nice guy and he took good care of us but the fact that they did not have the proper food in stock then over-​cooked our food we had to «settle on» in the first place causes me to give this place a very low score.
Just a brief tally of the Denny’s we have eaten at over the past year shows we have dined at over 25 Denny’s in seven states. I can’t think of one time we have not been satisfied so I know what these places are capable of. I know it is «no big thing» to have to wait again to get «my food» but today’s Denny’s stop was worse than bad.

Eating here right now! I’m very surprise why there are so many low grades! We ate some wonderful soup and order a big dish of bourbon chicken skillet and it
Was amazing!!! It’s our second time
Being here and will be here again for sure! Try this place out!

Ok so I love my husband = we can do «Denny’s» and this 3 star is only because I’m not a huge fan. PLACE WAS CLEAN, SERVICE WAS GOOD. Enough said

We always stop here on our way over the hill and back. We were very excited because it’s part of our tradition! Well, not anymore. Our server, Cherese, seemed nice at first. We ordered 3 chocolate shakes, a coffee and 4 bacon slamburgers, 3 with fries and 1 with dipable veggies. She brought the shakes without the tins which was a let down. The tin is the funnest part of the experience. And when she brought the food the veggies were on the wrong plate and the celery was brown in spots and covered in black dots and there were no cucumbers. I asked if I could get fries instead and she said sure but that she would bring me some cucumbers as well and that she would take care of me. When we got our bill she had charged us extra for the fries. Upon further inspection the bowls that held the veggies were dirty and the creamer had coffee dried to it. Super gross.

I don’t know about all the reviews below me but as for my group I loved this place! Not the food (which was great. Just like any other Denny’s food) but our waiter Carlos was awesome. He had great patience with us. We got there around 12:45 am on our way home to SF from our weekend in Long Beach. We decided to stop and have dinner. We had the whole place to ourselves. Instead of being annoyed that a loud group came in, he was super friendly. Then Conrad (I think the manager) came in, and started telling us very bad jokes lol it was hilarious. We couldn’t use a 20% coupon because it was not printed but he still gave us a 10% off. Then made some more crappy jokes lol. Overall it was an awesome experience at this place! Definitely stopping here again in our next LA trip! We left them a pretty good tip! Thanks guys!

Only place when the kid decided he was hungry. Denny’s is a below average place to eat. This one is worse than prison food I’m also to assume by looking around that’s where the staff learned to cook.

I’m not a huge Denny’s fan as it is, but stopped here on the way to a theme park in OC for bfast. Coffee was gross. Coffee cup was incredibly sticky and dirty. My toddler nephew received a used/​dirty kid’s menu, we asked for a new one, and she took the old one and gave a new one but also gave that same used/​dirty menu to my little brother (age 10). Food tasted off and did not sit well in my stomach. At. All. I ate half a pancake, 1 sausage and 1 bacon, and two bites of eggs. Sausage was cold. Bacon was cold-​ish. Idk why I ate it all because it tasted off. Asked for over hard eggs, received scrambled, and there were only like four customers total at the time. It’s hooked up to a gas station that I’m sure mainly services truck drivers, since I saw a buncha parked semis around, and the impromptu traveler. My dad had only stopped cause my sister, who’s always hungry, just happened to be hungry before we came upon the Exit. Wish she coulda patiently waited. The waitress was friendly but did take a while to return back to us. There’s a buncha toy machines around and they sell some costume jewelry around there too. Bathrooms were dirty. Chair just felt dirty. It’s a rugged sub par place to eat, would rather have bought sealed junk food from the gas station or Jack in the Box or just have gone without eating since I wasn’t hungry yet anyways! Thru the grapevine food isn’t of quality I suppose since they don’t expect so many ppl to stop and eat but perhaps only to stop and quench their thirst and release their fluids.

The managers nice! Selectively rude waitress and Leon, the cook, is loud and obnoxious. Cold mashed potatoes. The water was good.

FILTHY BATHROOM MEN’S BATHROOM … we also experience a very slow kitchen … Wait staff was trying to make up the difference

Came here after driving for hours back from USF. It was probably around 9 – 10 PM and this was pretty much the only place around…
Service was alright and food was OK. Nothing amazing… just a standard Denny’s but it’s a good rest stop if you’ve been driving on the freeway for a long time. You can use the restrooms (which were clean) and have something to eat.

On the 5 from SoCal to NorCal for the holidays, we stopped at Denny’s for some dependable comfort food. There was a long wait with a jam packed waiting area.
The weird thing was while walking to the back of the restaurant to use the bathroom, we saw a whole second dining room totally empty. With the exception of a couple employees taking their break.
We decided not to wait because who knew how many hours it would take to have breakfast!

Denny’s is what it is. When it comes to reviews I am sure that the food pretty much all tastes the same, so when reviewing it’s all about the other things like service and wait times. I didn’t have an issue getting a table and the food came out a little slow, but nothing to bark about. I was very impressed with how friendly and helpful our server was. She was pleasant to have wait on us. Nice place to stop when coming home from LA, certainly beats the iron skillet place down the road.

Came in 20 diners in restaurant 30 diners waiting to be seated only using ¼ total space. Hostess Felicia refusing to talk to customers waiting to be seated keeps disappearing in back. Rest I the staff 2 waitress in no hurry to take orders. 1 busboy took 5 min to clear a table did not bother to wipe it down. No manager on duty which is a clear sign of the problem. Out of French fries T-​bone steak to name a few.

When the name of the game is a 6 hour drive, food experiments are probably not encouraged. Don’t get me wrong… my guts are pretty strong, and I dine out a lot. But when the difference is dashing for unscheduled stops vs. keeping the road trip rollin smoothly, I rather go for the latter and save experimenting for later.
If you subscribe to my goal, then Denny’s is a wonderful place to stop on I-​5 northbound.
The servers are so lovely, and they understand everyone’s in a bit of a rush so the meals are quick. I ordered the healthy skillet and the meal is huge — I didn’t finish the whole thing.
Great value meal stop (with servers!) for a road trip stop.

Some of the employees are pretty incompetent but they all try. There’s a manager that’s always there at the counter and I always sit there. I’m not looking for fine dining when I come here, just a place to sit, have coffee, and take a break from driving.
The restroom area is always rather swampy but if that’s what I wanted I would just go to the starbucks one exit down the freeway. it’s usually pretty clean. it’s a dennys on the side of the freeway, away from the cities. Management needs to get with it and fix the restroom area and let that Latina Manager have more control over her employees because the other workers sure could benefit by following her hard work ethics that I see at every visit. I’m giving it an extra star just for her.
Eggs, french toast, pancakes… those are the types of things you order from a Dennys… not meats (other than bacon) or something with too much dairy.

Nicht so voll um die Mittagszeit. Ich glaube im Denny’s sollte man eher die Klassiker wählen, sonst gibt es Überraschungen. Sonst hat man schnell mal Burger mit Sauce Bolognese und Speck bestellt. Wer’s mag…
Kein Refill. :(
