Food was amazing server girl was sweet and fast. It was busy Saturday but we didn’t wait long to be seated. Jose the manager approach us and even though he is a cowboys fan he made us feel like home. We recommend this Dennys!

Went here with my girlfriend for a late night dinner. Service was great, along with a good atmosphere. Clean floors and bathroom. Ordered a chicken sandwich w/fries and a stack of pancakes. Sandwich was ordinary, but did not had high expectations, so it did the job. Pancakes were very very good and buttery, first time I eat them late at night and do not regret it at all. I recommend this place, beware that parking here can be noisy and hectic at times due to having an In-and-out next door, which I guess is a meet-up spot for young/hungry people (overrated in ny opinion, but anyways). Good Denny’s.

In delivering a hearty and satisfying meal. One of the highlights of my visit was undoubtedly the pancakes.Dennys pancakes are a delightful treat. They are fluffy, golden, and served hot off the griddle. The texture is just right—light and airy, yet substantial enough to hold up to a generous drizzle of syrup. I appreciated the variety of options available, from the classic buttermilk to more adventurous choices like the double chocolate and cinnamon roll pancakes.The service at Dennys was friendly and efficient. The staff made sure our coffee cups were always full and checked in regularly to see if we needed anything else. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends.Overall, if youre in the mood for some delicious pancakes and a comforting diner experience, Dennys is a great choice. Ill definitely be returning for another stack soon!

I want to start by congratulating management for having a well organized fast paced restaurant. This servers are amazing they are knowledgeable on the food items. The new waffles they added were just delicious. Coffee was hot and never ended. We will come back thanks for the service. It does get busy specially on Saturdays but the service is wonderful.

I just moved back to San Diego and wanted to go to a favorite old place. After waiting a few, waitresses just looking at me, a young man looked 14 walking like a robot. He looked like he was unhappy, miserable, grabbed a menu, utensils. I think he said Hi I think Idk then started walking. I guess Ill follow him. I said, I like a booth, hello sir I would like a booth. Had to raise my voice! Then he turned with a frown twisted his mouth kept walking. Lol So, I just sat myself down the first booth I saw. He slammed the menu, and utensils down walked away. He said, NOTHING!! The waitress was great, service and food were great. Tried to give her a $5 tip, but their machine gave the highest 2.88. Not right. And the girl who took the credit card said whatever it says. Do not hire young unhappy smart mouths, no matters children that are so rude.

This is my all time favorite dennys to come to, the staff always welcomes me with open arms and is quick to help whenever necessary. As well as the clean environment and brightly lit dining area.Marlene is the best waitress there is! She works with charisma that can brighten anyones day! Also loves to go the extra mile and bring us condiments before we even ask!

This is me and my fiancé’s first time eating here. He ordered the country fried steak with the mashed red skinned potatoes and Mac cheese and the classic sampler while I ordered the French toast slam. DELICIOUS ALL AROUND! Everything was fresh and hot! We definitely made the right choice coming here and we’re gonna come back in the future 😋❤️

She didnt wipe down my table, kinda gross. Im just one for the little things. Yes, its a chain restaurant, but some things cant go overlooked. Food wasnt that bad, except for the hair on the side of my plate. On a positive note, the waitress i had seemed really nice, just took her a tad long to come check on me. I think Ill stick to local cafés.

This Dennys is the best one in San Diego county. Their food is always good, hot and fresh. Marlene was our server and she is amazing. We never had to ask for anything, she brought it to us before we even knew what to ask for. She was friendly and helpful. She was honestly the best! I will definitely return to this Dennys.

Food was HOT and the taste was even better. Nothing like HOT food. Our server was friendly and always nearby, although we didnt need her, she was very professional. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. This is my third time going to this Dennys with my husband and its always fun when we do. Thank you Dennys.

I went with my family to eat some breakfast, we ordered some breakfast platters and I got the country fried steak. All the good we ordered (including appetizers) were very salty and almost non edible. It seems like this restaurant has some plates where they dont measure the salt levels and just throw at random because the steak I got was not salty. Maybe it was just a one time thing. Aside from that, the place was clean, nice staff, good location, always parking, never packed.

Stopped here after the Padres game tonight. My Dad had a dirty knife, requested a clean one. The server brought a new bag of silverware but no knife. It had 2 forks and a spoon. The 3rd bag finally had a clean knife. I had the Ultimate Omelet with ham instead of bacon. It arrived as requested. It did have a decent amount of ingredients, but most were on the outside because the cook didnt fold it properly. Other than that, it was good. Service 4/5. It was a little chilly in here.

Plain and simple, Dennys is good. I appreciate a reliable meal. I always have leftovers that I can indulge in at a later time. Dennys is good for families because of the prices and you are not limited to one cuisine.Ive corralled at Dennys for a business lunch, after hours dancing, just because, dinner, balling on a budget.Im impressed how the menu keeps reinventing itself while including traditional diner food like the patty melt. On this visit, I tried the American Patty Melt. I ordered swiss cheese and added sauteed mushrooms. The burger was pre-seasoned, the buttered bread was grilled to a slight crisp with flavorful caramelized onions and mushrooms. Oh mios dios. Not even exaggerating! And if you love coke---cola that is, this Dennys has the right carbon mixture for addiction.Dianna was a server sent from the Gods of Customer Service clouds. Ive eaten at Dennys throughout San Diego and across the states, and this location shines with service, quality of food, quick turnaround, and customer care. I especially appreciated how the employees gently handle the panhandlers and those that are economically challenged.Need to knowAccessibility: winningWifi: freeQuality of food: goodValue for prices: good, average price for (4), $50.00Menu: breakfast, lunch, dinner,senior menu, kids menuHours: 365, all hoursAccepts all payments except Crypto/Bitcoin

We were taken to our table where we waited for about ten minutes before I was able to ask the same person who sat us down, if we could please be serviced. She said some one would come to us soon. Meanwhile people were being sat at tables near us and they were being serviced. So after 20 minutes, we decided to leave.

This Dennys was very busy and they had someone up front who wasn’t really seating people in a timely manner. Then a lady came out, started asking questions and all of a sudden she took charge and started seating people, calling bussers, having tables waited on, and instantly we were seated. I had to ask her what her name was and I looked at her badge as she told me her name was Jennifer and I saw she was the General Manager. As I watched her, she was someone who worked every position, which I thought was pretty cool and something you don’t see often. Hopefully Dennys Management sees this review and Jennifer does so she know we appreciated her service!! Thanks Dennys, we will be back!

My family and I have been going to Denny’s for years! This was our first time at this location and it was very pleasant. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by the manager, Mr. Eduardo Alegría, thank you! Our server was Erick, which gave us an excellent customer service, and was happy to help us when I let him know another member of our family was joining us and helped us move to a bigger table. Thank you! We will definitely keep on visiting this family restaurant in the future no matter the city we are in.

Its Apr 2024. 3 yrs since my last review and visit;Nothing has changed. Maybe a little better on the service, and it was a little busier. So some improvement has been made. But still not up to the standard Im used to while traveling.Original review from me 3 years ago;I give 2 stars instead of one only because the server started out good, and the food showed up fast and right.I never did like this dennys location. Common issues were always bad service, bad food prep and lack of ambience. Today was only slightly different. I was seated and it took close to 15 minutes to get a server to stop by. I almost left. Then the server who showed up looked like an off duty server who was helping out. Again...I let it go. She was personable and just a bit chatty. I am chatty too, so I liked that. Food showed up fast. Eggs were right and the server was professional. There.. that covers 5 stars. Now the deductions down to 2 stars.As soon as she completed my order she went on break. No problem, other servers will watch for me. Yeah, right.I finished my coffee, put the cup on the edge of table for a refill. This is a common signal for a refill. Ive travelled around the country and overseas...this really is a signal. Servers walked past my table a half dozen times and ignored it. I had to ask a busser to refill my coffee. No one came through to check on me. Maybe I wanted a slice of purple or something.I dont know why this location is so bad. I can go to the one in mission valley or la mesa and have good service. But here... I can bet money that it will be bad. I dont get it.As for the stellar reviews ... I just listened to a report on NPR about a website where you can trade or buy positive reviews for you business. I guess dennys invests in that service.

Pretty good experience as far as the Dennys can be. Tuesdays and Saturdays kids eat free with an adult entree. I got the bourbon Burger, it was delicious! Just what I needed. Wanted a milkshake but their icecream machine was down 😞 but thats okay. The server was excellent and so attentive. She was so friendly. In total I spent about $25. Also they had job application on their plate mats 🤷 so if youre interested, they are hiring. Good for cheap, good food 👍 Ive also had their skillets in the past and it was so good.

Waited 30 minutes to be seated, which is understandable when its busy. Our parry finally gets seated. No one came for a drink order for another 30 minutes, and food orders were taken 20 minutes after that. There was another large party that came after us and they received their food before our party smh. It was close to 2 hours before we ate. On the other hand, the food was delicious. Id recommend the Philly cheese steak omelet. If youre going to order orange juice, ask for a little ice. Both glasses I got were served warm.

It was horrible... Patty, and the heavy set blond lady have been very racist to me... Ive eaten at this place a dozen times.. I order 2 pancakes, which always comes to $3.80.. each time it got worse... They made sure I was uncomfortable... Im a very spiritual person... They transmitted these vibrations through there Aura each time.. so this how it went.. I have serveer mental health problems... Patty wouldnt ask me to be seated.. and they would automatically bring me the pancakes in a to go bag... With 2 small packets of syrup... And two jellys.. I would take the bag to the first table, sit down and put syrup for the bottle, cuz I love alota syrup... Each time I did this, it made them upset, cuz they dont want a strong black man with jewelry in there prestigious establishment... But I held my concerns in... Why.. cuz if I complained... They would say... You,re being threatening sir, please leave, so I avoided that at that time, knowing the outcome... Till I started throwing up the last two times I ate there.. I knew they were playing with my food...so tonight I go, same vibe, same play... My pancakes come 20 minutes later, as usual.....This time I find hair in my food... I go to the counter to complain... They acting surprised about the hair .. saying it was an accident... But none of the other customers had this accident. I made an announcement and asked... I told them how a felt about there service, and asked for the manager name.. which I was denied, and asked to leave...they gave me two pancakes.. nothing extra for the accident, like most establishments do... 2 pancakes in a bag. And asked to leave, cuz I was threatening 🤣🤣 I want the camera looked at in the kitchen by the owner... There contaminating food. Im reporting this to the BBB... I want a full investigation on this matter..

After been coming here for about month. I couldnt ask for a better team of hospitality and customer service. They never miss a beat in service and know how to keep their guest happy and welcomed.I have to say.. As under staff as they are theyre always on top of their game their great customer service awesome! hospitality, and they never miss a customer no matter how busy or how not busy they are, they provide you with warm welcome service, family oriented and theyre really great where it comes to people that can afford a whole lot thank you team Dennys For letting me stay as long as I did to eat my food and to use the Internet and to take care of things I need to take care all my on computer these guys are awesome. BIG SHOT OUT TO EVERYONE !there who works Really hard! I LOVE ❤️ YOU GUYS....

It took a while for them to notice we were waiting to be seated and more time to take our order. The waiters just pass by with no sense of service, they saw us asking for someone and didnt care. When we were leaving, the cashier wasnt in her spot (by the way, she didnt have a great presentation), so we had to wait again, i was wondering to just leave, until our waiter ask us if we had been charged already, we said no and he helped us.It seems, they dont have a leader to follow

The review has nothing bad to say of the service but rather the company. It seems this chain is moving towards smaller portions which isnt a problem except the quality is also dropping in tandem. For 25 dollars with a tip, I can go to breakfast Republic downtown and eat like a king on quality foods and get actual thick cut bacon, quality coffee with real half and half and eggs that are made to order. There are a number of breakfast places all over san diego that cost the same and have high quality food.Again the waitress was very polite and attentive. This is not a review on her service but the food quality itself.

Our waiter was an absolute star. Attentive, courteous service -- 5 star all the way. But the food is typical diner food. Okay, but not great. Had to meet a friend for a quiet lunch. Went there because the location was convenient for us both, not because we were looking for gourmet food. With these parameters, it got the job done.

There is a manager by the name of Robert who displays excellent customer service skills while multi-tasking of waiting on tables and expediting food service all at the same time. You also get a since of warmth and hospitality from him as this appears second nature for him. Absolutely wonderful Restaurant Experience. Highly Recommended Dining Experience.

Upon leaving we had the pleasure of having Chris ring us up.,very charming by the way. He asked if all was ok we said yes. He chatted with us a bit . We enjoyed ourselves and can’t wait to come back.

Do not go to Dennys for the $5.99 menu. Its a rip off. Theres 1item for the price . I ordered a hamburger for $8.99 with onion rings (6) I should have taken a picture. It looked like a small child portion. Plus the ice tea was $3.49. It still cost me $30.00. The server told me for a normal size hamburger it costs $18.00. As usual the picture didnt match the food. No more Dennys.

We went to Denny’s around 8:30 pm and it wasn’t crowded, the waiter came in with menus and left us for 20 minutes unattended! We walked up to the front and no one of the staff cared! We asked for the Manager and finally he came his name was Steven ! We thought he’s goi To apologize at least cause it was my Husband’s birthday and we went there to celebrate but he just didn’t care! Didn’t even offer us a service! Nothing he kept talking to his staff and laughing while we are talking to him!Worst attitude ever! Was so disappointed in Denny’s management!

I was very disappointed in the customer service I received. On August 3rd, I arrived at this location to have breakfast to celebrate the birthday of my decreased son, I had given the waitress my name I was the first one in line. She took my name down and rolled her eyes then looked passed me and told a couple that had came some time after me, that she could seat them Now! She was Very dismissive of my presence and told another waitress I needed to be seated but at that point I didn’t feel welcomed and asked to see the manager . I spoke with the manager and his district manager about my complaint. I cannot say that I felt heard by either. So I left and took my business elsewhere. I will Never eat there again. Worst customer service experience I’ve ever had

Food is always good here but this visit was kind of a downer. Waiter was attentive and kept our coffee filled, food came out in a timely manner. When we walked in there was no one to seat us we had to wait for at least 5 minutes to be told someone would help us, the register was backed up. When they clean tables they use a cart but when it is parked next to your table while you are eating that is disgusting

This is out to go place for breakfast but this time we went for dinner, we ordered our food once it came it was cold we got no utensils or napkins, I had to ask for it. I asked for syrup and I’m not sure what she got me, but there was one across from our table I got up and just got it myself, asked for sugar she said there wasn’t any regular only Splenda yet when I left I saw boxes of them, we had to ask for water, got no refills on coffee never came back and checked on us I had to hunt her down. Very dissatisfied.

Okay, its a Dennys, so it gets four stars for being a better than average Dennys. It was Covid and the tents were set up for outdoor dining which was fine, not really comfortable, but at least we were out of the house. The staff was absolutely delightful. The food was good but my husband said that they skimped a little on his Southwest Skillet. I do recommend this place if only for the kind and helpful staff.

If your hungover and want some food, this place can help.If you craving some good food, this place cant help. A dennys wont have very authentic food. Their tortillas are generic store bought tortillas, and they served me a bowl of kraft mac and cheese when I ordered mac on the side.If your here with your family you will have to fight other families to the death for a table. Honestly, should have a ball pit installed in the restaurant.

My experience with the Dennys restaurants had always been pleasant. However, this locations did not meet what I always look in restaurants. First it took them some time to take our order, the server was not very friendly, and the food also took some time. I ordered the 3 leches pancakes and it did not had any milk on them, she also did´t ask if I wanted more coffee, until she knew I was leaving. Sorry but I have experience better.

Appetizers are almost always overcooked/ burnt. Most likely will need to have it remade each time. Other than that, everything else is great 👍 ESPECIALLY the Diner Q sauce, its sweet and creamy; similar to Chik-Fil-A sauce which is a big plus !

My girlfriend and I decided to stop by Dennys as a safe bet after a long day on the water. Mistakes were made. The service was slow and the food was mediocre at best. We thought it was a safe bet, but were left disappointed. Slow service, undisclosed upgrades, and a sloppy location overall. Definitely soured my view towards Dennys and we will be steering clear for the time being. If we do come back to a Dennys, it will not be this location.

Very wonderful experience, and third time here.We came to this location due to a bad experience at another Dennys.Rather than posting it online and identifying the store well just let it slide.I recall the intro song for Cheers that goes sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.The staff doesnt know our names, but they know our faces.Very friendly staff that goes the extra mile, and if they mess up, be patient and give them a chance.Our server is always Isai and she is very courteous, friendly and tries to make sure our experience is positive

Third time in a row where my order was done wrong (usually request no cheese) I let it slide the two times it happened because I don’t like to be “that guy” and working in a restaurant I understand what they go through. Either way three times in a row on different occasions is unacceptable under any circumstance! They accommodated my third order when I had let the manager know about my issues on past visits which I appreciate. Overall, the staff is friendly and the place is kept clean. Kitchen may need to work on their listening skills.
