Denny’s

Great service, good food, excellent family atmosphere. absolutely love this location

As good as it gets for a Denny’s. Fast, friendly service. Consistent food. Clean bathrooms.

I used to come into this place with friends and family all the time in the past 12 years. But as the last four years I thinksomething has drastically changed. The waiters are always extremely rude. they take a very long time to seat you. Once you are finally seated after waiting a really long time they had you menus that are very sticky and nasty looking. Then they take a very long time to take your drink order making you wait for probably 15 minutes. Then they will take orders of other people who came after you. The waiters then will eventually take your order probably after 30 minutes of sitting there and they will hand you really dirty cups. The food it will take about another 20 to 30 minutes to be served to you because they will serve customers who they obviously know outside of the restaurant who look like their family first even though they walked in after you by at least 20 minutes. The food is terrible and you will often get sick from it. They will also get your check wrong. They willthey will give you wrong change. The bathrooms and the facility are very very very dirty and unclean. I highly suggest avoiding this place at all cost and going over to the restaurants across the street.

The food is nasty. No other way to describe it. Ordered a regular breakfast. Started eating and broke the yolk of a rotten egg. Hash Browns had a foul greasy taste, After a bite or two, inedible. Got up and left, manager took the meal off the bill. I haven’t been to a Denny’s in over a decade, but never remember it being this horrible.

Great food, awesome prices, very clean, and awesome service. It’s outdated but clean they have a great menu too! You can’t go wrong.

Dirty and service was slow and got my order wrong. Didn’t even bring napkins when he saw my son spill his drink.

Ordered sirloin steak and they brought t-​bone. 2 of my friends agreed that they brought t-​bone but waitress said: «cook said it is a sirloin.» We didn’t feel like arguing. After that she brought 1 side toasted bread. They didn’t have paper towels and seat covers in the restroom. Wonder where sirloin go…

Love Denny’s eats are basic as U know but the coot did it up just right eggs over easy perfict crispy hash brown s n gravy ok I was happy

Homophobia alert!!! Denny’s is my favorite chain restaurant and I keep an open mind in any new restaurant I walk into. My girlfriend and I stopped in here while on a road trip. We were made to feel very unwelcome by our waiter and by the woman who appeared to be his shift supervisor.
They waited so long to come ask for our drink orders that I had to walk over to our waiter, who was lounging on the front counter, and (politely, I swear!) ask if we could place a drink order. He sourly said he’d be over in a minute. Of course, he was rude throughout all the rest of our interactions.
However, I saw him being very nice and cheerful to his other customers in our section. I normally leave a huge tip at Denny’s, regardless of my check value. He missed out on a big tip (I still tipped 10% because they have to claim it on taxes) so I hope the satisfaction he got from being rude was worth it. I’m used to customers gawking at a woman with short hair and her girlfriend, but I expect better from trained restaurant staff.
Some would say, what do you expect out of a Denny’s in Petaluma? But, I still believe in keeping an open mind on the next location. So, if you’re a same sex couple, head for the Whole Foods in town.

I normally don’t do Denny’s — because of the food quality mostly — but it’s late, nothing is open and I’m hungry and want to sit down and drink coffee all night.
Well, it’s been a pretty good experience. Wait staff is really friendly and attentive, the cook is quick and accurate and it seems like the overall vibe is pretty cool.
I even won one of those little bears in the claw game! finally…

This is the best Denny’s I have ever been to. The cashier and the waitress were very pleasant and helpful. The food was quite good as well. The overall experience was very much enjoyed.

We’ve been on a lot of Dennys lately (towing a trailer) and this is the cleanest. Carpets clean, booth not sticky, table clean, ladies room spotless with a well-​stocked Koala Kare baby station. Waitress was prompt though slightly rushed, came back to verify if we wanted cheese on the burgers. Parking lot had plenty of room for trailers or rv’s though no dedicated long spaces. Nicely air-​conditioned. Food was a little slow coming, not a big surprise given the «cooks wanted all shifts» sign. Burgers were fresh, thick and thoroughly cooked. Fries were not good, probably from frozen and not real hot. Everything else was fine. For a Dennys, it was pretty good.

This place sucks. It takes for ever for them to take your order and even longer to get your food. If I wasn’t starving to death I would have walked out. Please open a 24 hour diner with decent food in petaluma.

AWEFUL, and I don’t really ever complain nor am I picky. This was the worst Denny’s experience I’ve ever had. Service was bad; waiter had an attitude, coffee was cold, cups were dirty and the French toast wasn’t cooked well. No more Petaluma Denny’s for my family.

First of all its packed in here. Second I think its so wrong they only have one cook and one server on duty. The server is literally running from customer to customer. He is such a hard worker! I wish I could leave a 100 dollar tip. Poor guy is exhausted. Denny’s u need to hire some people!!! GREAT SERVICE FROM THIS GUY!

Horrible service one everything I ordered five seconds later waitress comes back oh I’m sorry we are out of that do your fucking job go check to see what you do have. Asian lady in the back showing her butt crack with her hand down it was extremely rude Latina waitress taking orders from over the counter in the back she has long curly hair came in at nine pm Christmas night rude as f**k I just can’t even with this place horrible shut this place down so many health code violations

What has happened to this place? It truly is a dump and needs to be shut down. If you enjoy white trash, dirty little kids running amuck, hands down their pants, snotty noses, and wait staff that don’t have a clue what’s going on, then this is the place for you. It was one of those moments when you want to leave but you’re so intrigued that you can’t stop watching what’s going on around you. Haha. Even my own kids were staring in disbelief.
Families with their 9 kids, running around with food in their mouths, poop in their pants. Tables so sticky and greasy that your menu is glued to the table, and the waitress who doesn’t know how to count change. Pass.
*Edit: Jaz S. wrote me privately stating I should review the restaurant/​food, so here it is. The food was pretty bad. We ordered mozzarella sticks and they were barely done, no crispness at all, like they had been thawed and dumped on the plate. You’d think the management would view all the bad reviews and do something about it. I mean, it is only Denny’s, «America’s Diner» so I suppose you shouldn’t expect much, but if you’re a paying customer, crappy food and service is unacceptable. I don’t expect this to be a culinary creation from Gary Danko. Yes, I’ve worked with the public, still do, but let’s not forget when people patronage your facility, it’s ultimately what’s paying your own paycheck.

So we stopped by here on the 4^th of July 2014. The place isn’t too busy but way under staffed for a holiday. Only 2 cooks, 1 waiter, and 1 waitress. No Bus boy. The waiter and waitress doing a great job but a lot to handle for just the two of them.
I would have to say the Manager is an idiot for not having at least 1 more person working. 2 more would be ideal. We sat here for over 20 minutes before they were able to take our order and real fast there were 4 dirty tables around us. We have now been here for 1 hour and 10 minutes and still have not gotten our meal. I know we already ordered but it is 12:10am and I’m ready to walk out, keep the order!

Very bad service! It took the waitress quite a bit to understand what I’m asking for, he didn’t even know what pink lemonade was. Like WTF! He also gave my husband a dirty spoon with his chicken soup that he almost forgot to bring!
Bottom line. Don’t recommend this place at all!

Not really good at this particular location! I have eaten at many a Denny’s around California. Most are clean and modern and kind of a throwback to the 50’s. Food is, well, Denny’s, but all in all pretty good. You can depend on Denny’s.
However, Petaluma’s version is tired, littered, a disgusting bathroom, and has inexperienced waitstaff. I will not return to this one, even though I live here.
There are a lot of coffee shops in Petaluma too numerous to mention (I can think of 10 or 15), and most are clean and fun and an OK place to eat. This particular Denny’s should be renovated and modernized; it is time for a makeover. But, there are loyal customers, but I doubt the clientele would notice improvements at all. It is what it is.
That being said, I have no complaint about the quality of the food here. It was well prepared and ample portions even though it was on the «55+» menu. The food alone is worth 4 stars. I just wish it was more appealing to eat there. My one star rating is for the 4 star food, but zero minus for the premises.
