I am frequently disappointed with the food at this place. Unfortunately I eat late nights and there isn't much open after 10pm. I often order the avocado grilled chicken caesar salad and 100% of the time I order it there is very little dressing. I always tell them to please make the salad with dressing and let me pay for a side of dressing. I am not sure they understand what I mean by that. I have yet to get a salad the way I want it. The mozzarella sticks are always missing the side of ranch I order and the marinara sauce is always cold. It is mostly a miss here, so good luck with your salad order. Expect to be disappointed like me. I still ordered it again tonight and for some reason my optimism keeps me hoping it will be done right one of these nights... lol read more

This place was super cool and service was phenomenal shoutout to Stacy she was the best!! Also please be mindful of the waiters they deserve to be treated better read more

Didn't get silverware, I asked for no pickles, food sat out and cook had to yell for waitresses to get the food, silverware wasn't even ready when I went up and asked for it. Asked for a refill on my water never got it. Also didn't get greeted when we walked in and there was an employee right in front of us, we didn't get napkins, appetizer came the same time as the food. Terrible and unorganized. Will never come back. read more

Rosalie was very curtious! The other waiter seemed very much stressed but she took the extra time to make sure our stay was the best! As a customer I appreciate the attention and making the extra effort to ensure our meal was nothing less then perfection! Thank you Mac the manager was super awesome with helping her with our order! read more

Joesph deserves a raise, he's a very cool dude. Great service, he is the best!! He got our food out on time, and had a great attitude!!!!

I entered and was directed to the counter. The gal took my order brought my drink. 30 minutes later my food arrived. My over easy eggs were over cooked and the yokes were broken and I never saw the server again. She walked by, I asked for the check. A coule minutes later , she threw it on the counter and kept walking. No , thank you, have a good day, happy new year, NOTHING. The cashier asked how my food and service was. I briefly told her. She says " oh, didn't they tell you the kitchen was backed up?" I said, not my problem. She says I know, but there were still supposed to tell you. Well, I'm sorry, happy new year. At least she was nice. I wouldn't recommend this Denny's if you'd like to enjoy your food. read more

Put in an online order for pickup arrived 5 minutes after estimated time of pickup and still had to wait another 30 minutes before they started to bring my stuff out and still had to wait a little more time. read more

Was my favorite spot to go to after the club. Wont return. Terrible customer service by Lannie. Busy night but server never checked on the fact that everyone had their food but me. Everyone was almost done eating before she made any effort to correct the issue. Did not apologize for anything. read more

We came here around 6 pm for dinner. Our server's name was Jessica she took really great care of us, she was very patient with our children and always had a smile. Food came out pretty fast they forgot my avocado but they immediatly fixed the issue. The staff here were very polite when we came in. We were instantly greeted with a smile. The manager, I think her name is Amanda, stopped by our table to check on us and chatted for a few. We have had horrible experiences in the past with severa Denny's but this visit made up for it all. read more

Horribly service. Food ok come here if u want to Be ignored. Plenty of staff on hand, they just ignore you. Better bet is IHOP near by or the Denny's on 7th standard Another attempt. Very poor customer service hostess ignored arriving guest. Manger was present but not helpful. Time for corporate office to find a new franchise owner. Went down street to IHOP. Was seated immediately got my drink right away order was taken all within 2 min of walking in door both places a comparable crowds read more

If I could give a lower rating I would. I went here last weekend for breakfast at around 9:30 am the restaurant was not crowded but it was taking forever to get seated . There were approximately 8 partied waiting to be seated when two middle age gentlemen walked in, they apparently knew the management and walked right to the back I assumed they were going to sit at the counter but they proceeded to take up two tables. When someone spoke to them about the situation the manager was. Very unprofessional, she gave him the phone number to the corporate office but said with in earshot of the customer who asked for the number that it wouldn't do any good to call apparently she either is a general mgr or knows one . The food was also not very good very greasy and the kitchen does not pay attention to what the waitress puts on the ticket read more

I've got to say this has been hands down one of the greatest experiences I've had at any Denny's in bakersfield! They were super busy yet the manager Regina provided excellent customer service by going to each individual table making sure everyone was doing great! I have never seen a manager who truly cares about her guests the way she does and I've got to say her happiness and great atmosphere really shows in her servers too because our server Jessica was kind and didn't get a thing wrong! I'm definitely coming to this Denny's for the rest of my life because they showed how much they actually care! Great job! Wish there were more like them! read more

I just want to send my sincere appreciation to the Manager Mike and our wonderful waitress Sharan. They both treated my family and I with the most care and respect. Even before COVID my family and I never really ate out very much. But we decided to take advantage of the veterans day Build your own grand slam special. It was a lovely breakfast and it felt really nice being out in public again as a family. Mike and Sharan and the rest of the staffs hospitality was just the icing on the cake. Thank you again. My family of four and one on the way are truly grateful read more

Food was ok for a Denny's Servers need to communicate better Had 3 waiter ask for our drink order Placed them alone side a appetizer order which I never received them till I placed them again With a lady named Regina she was never friendly and helpful she must of been the manager Overall this is not the first time it took over 10 min to get our drinks read more

We enjoyed dinner here tonight. Our milkshakes were good. The waitress, Brittany, was very kind, courteous, & very thorough. She remembered everything we asked for & made sure everything was good for us. Dinner was great! My husband tried the steak dinner. My daughter had chicken noodle soup & of course breakfast! Lol And I ordered the super bird sandwich with fries. It completed our day. read more

made a quick stop for breakfast over the weekend since I happened to be in the area and I was very happy with the costumer service as well as the food. Will most definitely return, happy customer keep up the good work guys. read more

Came here Monday night and the service was amazing. Zoey was funny, accurate with our orders, patient, and checked up on us often. Will definately be coming back again! read more

Wow I didn't know a restaurant could mess up one simple thing. Seating. Yes this Denny managed to mess up seating people. I waited half an hour for a table while people who came in after me got seated first. And I was waiting with 30 other people who were there when I got there. And there was a lot of empty tables and I never got seated and had to eat breakfast else were. The hostess is terrible at her job and should be fired. This isn't the first time I've dealt with this at this Denny's and I'm tired of it. read more

Rang in my nieces bday! Manager and staff sang Happy a day and even brought the cooks out. Everyone was super friendly and happy! Way to go Denny's! read more

I've been here multiple times with my fiance, but every time seemingly gets worse. We came on New Years Eve at about 11:30, and despite having nearly the entire dining room empty, they told us we had to wait 20 minutes. No big deal, and when we got seated, our order was taken almost immediately. We ordered a sampler and two breakfast meals, all which came out pretty quickly too. The sampler looked to be about half the size of what it once was despite paying the same price, and we didnt even get to eat out appetizer before the food came our right away. Never saw our waitress again until we were about to leave, and never recieved a refill while we ate. They also forgot multiple pieces of our food and never asked how the food was once. Content with never coming back here again, and the food seems to get more and more expensive! read more

The worst service ever. Usually we get good service here. We came for breakfast. We walked in and the hostess wasn't very friendly. We asked for a both, there were several empty ones. She said she didn't have any. We were seated in one of those booths. We waited for several minutes to order our coffee and asked to order our food too. We waited some more to get our coffee. We waited for a refill and had to ask twice for it. Then waited for creamer. My husband went and got it himself. My waffle was cold. The butter didn't melt at all. This was not a good visit. read more

Sometimes I find myself out after 9:00 pm in Bakersfield without having had the opportunity to eat. At this point, most restaurants are closed or have the bar open with the kitchen as an afterthought. My friend and I were in this unfortunate position last night, so we pulled into this Denny's. The Good: The food was fine and up to Denny's standards. Our waitress was polite and worked hard to check on us during our evening. The Bad: I received a lecture from a manager regarding how to order from the menu. You read that correctly. Usually when I eat at Denny's, I order the fish and chips. When I placed my order with our waitress, there was a bit of confusion about which sides I wanted. When the plate came back, I had received the wrong side. Honestly, this is not too big of a deal to me. I understand that mistakes can be made, and I did not express irritation at our server. Unfortunately, a few minutes after our waitress went to correct our order, a manager came to explain, for "next time," that the fish and chips only comes with two sides. She went on to inform me that she had instructed her waitress with this information as well. Except, the only reason I received three sides was because of the mix up with the order. Neither I nor the waitress finished the order believing that I would be receiving more food than I paid for. Having a manager imply that I somehow grifted them out of a small order of broccoli was a little surreal. I personally will not be back to this location, but it's possible that the manager had an off night. read more

This particular location has lost both myself and my wife's business. They fired the best waitress they had when they let Lainie go. I don't care how good the food is (or how bad); we are done. read more

Now I remember why I don't eat here. The wait staff seem to be very attentive, but the food is crap. I ordered a bowl of the broccoli cheddar soup. Never saw a poorer excuse for " cream" soup. It's so watery and it look like curdled milk. Guess I am spoiled by the great soup at Coco's. Have to remind myself to never do this again. read more

Can I just say wow. Been here multiple time and the service is on point always a must when going out to eat, Denny's is the place to eat.

Please don't move Regina, the night manager, off nights. Her service is impeccable. For the short time she was gone, the service fell off. She always has a smile and kind word. She makes the Denny's experience most enjoyable. Love the crew directed by her and the service they provide. The food is always good. read more

Tonight was great... had Cara start me off and Amanda finishing my meal. Like always they are always giving me great service. The highlight of tonight is Ivan who made my steak medium and did a great job. He had a busy crowd but still managed to get it done. Great service great team great experience. Thanks Regina, Cara, Amanda and Ivan read more

I'm from San Diego, used to most Denny's having low quality, HOWEVER this Denny's happens to be the best Denny's I've ever came to. I don't know if it's the fact that it's the middle of the farmland and produce is shipped quicker? But the food was delicious. I'm not used to getting quality food at a franchise diner. I'm ALSO not used to having such great service alongside good food at a place like Denny's. My waitress was Elizabeth(Liz)she had a cool tattoo on her arm. She was very kind, and willing to get us what we wanted. Perfectly enthusiastic, kept my coffee glass full and even gave us to go cups as we are traveling to Sacramento .. coffee Is a must. The table behind was more needy than usual and I was expected a head shake or something from Liz but she took it with a grain of salt and a smile on her face. It's not common to find good servers and good food. Thank you Elizabeth!!! read more

My favorite Dennys in Bakersfield! I always get great service! Food is good and restaurant is always clean!

I took my family to the Denny's at 13175 Merle Haggard Rd and our server was David. The place was clean, the serviced was polite and well attended to our request. The food was hot and it was well prepared. The portions were very generous. I was very pleased with Denny and the service. Thank you for helping us start our day out right. read more

Had a wonderful birthday breakfast today. Vegans you can build your own with wheat pancakes and fruit. Thank you Denny's

I live across town by a different Denny's and still prefer this location. Service was great. The waitress was consistent and I didn't have to ask her for anything. read more

Everything but our waitress was terrible. The 1 star is for her. They said it would be a 20 minute wait. Waiting area was full so we sit on the bench outside. 20 mins later I go inside and the waiting area is empty as I walk past to use the restroom. When I come out we sit in the waiting area still nothing. I go up to the hostess and they said they called our name 3x! When!?! We were sitting outside at their provided bench. No one thought to look right outside the door because ur lobby is packed?! So we are finally seated. Utensils were dirty and nasty. When the food comes nothing is hot. Really barely warm. Room temp over easy egg. Gross. Toast burnt. Everything is just mediocre. Lots of tables were empty but ppl were still waiting. They need more staff on a Saturday morning. I will never go back to any Denny's. We only came today because ihop was full but I wish we would have just went there. read more

Fransisco was our server and he gave us excellent service! So kind and attentive. Food was great. Thankful he kept such positive spirit on this Thanksgiving holiday serving us. Definitely coming back and asking for his service again! read more
