    Denny's Katella Ave

    I love Denny's but this was probably the worst service I've experienced in a Denny's restaurant to date. Just take a look at my Denny's Buena Park review. I praised their service. We had a late lunch at about 4:00 pm. When we stopped into the restaurant, we were greeted by a very cheerful young lady who walked us to our table, presented us with our menu's and asked us if we wanted anything to drink. Up to this point, things were fine until a male server, (Angel) came to assist us. I ordered the Cali Club sandwich and a chocolate shake. He asked if I wanted french fries and I said yes. I asked if they still had waffle fries and he bluntly replied, NO! He took the order from the other person in my party and walked away. The order took approximately 30 minutes to complete. There were only two other tables of patrons who were already eating in the entire restaurant, so I'm not sure why it took so long to prepare our food. Angel made my chocolate shake and brought it back to the table before the food arrived. Normally at all other Denny's restaurants the shake comes in a glass along with some extra shake in the blender cup. When he brought the shake, there was a little sip left in the blender cup. I'm still not sure why he brought the blender cup to our table since there was such a small amount left. The shake was not up to the normal Denny's standard. I usually get almost one and a half glasses of shake when it's prepared properly. It was disappointing. After bringing our food, Angel walked past our table numerous times and not once checked to see if everything was good or if we needed anything else. I had to get up from my table to retrieve a bottle of ketchup and then later after finishing our meal, had to ask Angel to bring a "to-go" box and our bill because we were waiting to leave Again, this was all during a lunch service of only three tables. Angel, please remember that all customers are important and should be treated as such. We just want to be acknowledged. Unfortunately, the lack of customer service and satisfaction drove me to look elsewhere and I was able to find Coco's Restaurant and Bakery down the street.

    Still 5! Super service. And you cannot be at the prices and food right next to Disneyland. Their 55+ menu is crazy great too. My salmon was perfect with roasted veggies and a hearty rice medley.beer for 5$. Perfect way to end day.

    Came here for a final breakfast before leaving, and just a couple of days after my last review. The breakfast was on a voucher from the Best Western Pavilions next door, and although the last visit was good, this one was "more gooderer"! (Keep all grammar policing to yourself - I like saying that! ) I arrived about 9:30 - late sleep in - and was quickly shown a table by the host, Jorge, and was just as quickly greeted by my server, Ricardo, who took my beverage order while I perused the menu - I was planning to get a little something in addition to the breakfast. When he returned I was ready, and I ordered 2 of the 2 eggs (scrambled) and the hash browns, and added a fruit bowl off the menu as well as an iced tea. The food came quickly, the eggs still hot. The reason this visit is more gooderer is because the eggs this time were moist, like I like them! Not everybody will and that's okay, but they were perfect for me! The fruit bowl was yummy, with bananas, red grapes (and 3 seeds!) and cantaloupe, not too sweet but good. The service from Ricardo was exemplary, and I appreciate his working with me on the menu items - I am glad to see consistently great service here, no matter who I have had so far, from hosts to servers. Looking forward to my next visit.

    We got a free voucher for Dennys while staying at the Best Western behind it. We found out that we could only pick from several items. I picked the pancakes, oatmeal, and bacon. Pancakes were good and filling but oatmeal came out cold and watery. It was disgusting. Bacon was okay. I guess you can't complain about free. The waitress was amazing though. She was fast and very nice.

    The Denny's close to Disneyland. They even sell a good plethora of Disneyland Merch in here. Came here the other day during COVID times. Dining is outside and they did a good job serving us. I do think they hike up the price here for being close to Disneyland? My friend got an All American Slam and it was $12. The portions looked small!!! The bathrooms were clean (which is always telling of a facility) and I felt pretty safe here. Coffee was expensive but I had one anyway!

Not sure if reservations are required, but this speakeasy is pretty tiny so I can't imagine it can accommodate walk ins. We had a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The door is very well hidden, I thought it'd be in a basement around the corner or something. The space is really small, so big groups are not advised. I had the niña fresa, a strawberries and creme type drink. Delicious! If you like sweet drinks, otherwise do not get it. I had the Saturn afterwards. Still a little sweet, but mostly sour. The server came by to say that we only had 25 min left, so we hurriedly ordered a last drink. But when he delivered it, it magically became 5 min! I chugged my drink and was ushered out the door. Overall it was pretty nice but I didn't enjoy having to rush at the very end.

Tea was really disappointing. Can you call it a tea experience when they use tea bags my loose leaf with a lack of a tea selection and have to share a tea pot with 3 people? This was a really big let down. It's not your traditional tea. Sandwiches were fine. I enjoyed a couple of them. The biscuit was good. They also didn't have scones and clotted cream. In my opinion not a true tea experience. Desserts were not good. The attempt made for the ube and pandan were more of a trend following technique rather than a true love in creating something delicious. It was a disappointment. The experience wasn't terrible it was just okay. Stick to a proper tea place is you are looking for a proper tea experience. If you want just cute pictures and just a great ambiance then you'll be fine coming here. I was between giving 2 and 3 stars for this place. I can't deny this was a cute place. $45 a setting... I didn't see the value. I think this place would be better for just pure brunch rather than tea.

It's clear why they've been a local staple for 11 years this is the original location, and you can really taste the legacy in every dish. We learned that the menu features the favorite recipes of the owner's husband (you'll see his photo on the wall!), and there's a real sense of heart put into the cooking. Everything we ordered was served piping hot and clearly made-to-order. The Menu Highlights: Starters: The fried pickles are a must-order huge, crispy, and battered to perfection. The cornbread muffins with honey butter are a great comfort touch. Mains: My husband went for the smothered pork chop meal with black-eyed peas, which were deeply flavorful and 'soulful' in the best way. My son loved the generous portion of chicken tenders, and my hot wings were a standout the mild sauce is honestly some of the best I've ever tasted. The Surprise Star: I'm still thinking about the garlic fries. They were unapologetically, perfectly garlicky. The Experience: Beyond the food, the service here is top-tier. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, from the person who took our order to our server, who shared the history of the restaurant with us. The space is surprisingly roomy with both comfortable indoor and outdoor options. We'll definitely be back!
