If I can give this place negative stars I would . Waited over 30 mins for a table , and after I was finally acknowledged they tried to seat my family at a dirty table and said they would be back to clean it shortly . Ended up just going to another Denny's .. never go here the customer service is the worse . read more

Great food. Great service. Stopped through Barstow on my way to San Diego. Our waitress Stephanie H. was the Best!!! She made our dinning experience awesome! read more

Many mistakes in order, food cooked poorly, we weren't going to complain but mom insisted. Manager showed up and instead of apologizing for mistakes, she goes on and tries to correct my mom. Worst Denny's we have been to. Waitress was okay but took long to serve us. Manager was tall blond Middle Aged woman. Also, bathrooms weren't stocked. Don't bother to stop here. read more

Of course no matter where you go, Denny's food is the same. Only the staff is different. We stopped while traveling to Colorado. The bathrooms we're clean, the staff friendly, the food Denny's. Which I hate, but I'll stop there 'only' because I've got some idea what I'm getting when I'm traveling. That's about all I can say in the positive. The one star is for the food not the wait staff, which end were ver nice, friendly and timely. read more

The service was ok not the best and the place was extremely dirty our waitress kept forgetting things All we came for was desert glad we ate earlier somewhere else read more

Extra star for service. Manager greeted me before the server and was friendly. Then I took that extra star away for the waitress being kind of short - at the end she literally just put my check on my table without a word, leaving me to sit there for 5 minutes until I realized I pay up front. When first walking in, it smelled kind of like wet dog. The table I was seated at had some missed food in one corner. The windows were dirty, though it seemed from the outside. Blinds were dusty. Service prompt. All American slam with orange spice tea. Tea was really good. Orange juice refreshing. English muffin crispy. Best crispy bacon. Sausage mushy. Pretty sure it was undercooked and so I did not eat the rest.Hash browns could of been crisper, for sure - kind of tastes like boiled potato. I did get a large slice of apple pie to go which I thoroughly enjoyed. Somehow my bill was $24 ??? Don't think it was worth the $$ read more

See all

Just burned $10 at the World's Dirtiest Denny's. This place needs to be torched. Rotten cabinets, just nasty, period. Food was so oily, I didn't eat. Just wanted to get out of there! One star is for service. At least they were nice. read more

Denny's - Rotted moldy cabinets. This is a sign of corporate racism. Crappy standards because area is poor and diverse. DISGUSTING! - Diners Near Me - Barstow, California

Good food, good service. Beats the fast food joints on the way to or from Vegas (except in and out). Beats the breakfast at Bobs Big Boy. If you are on Main St in Barstow after 11 am, head to in and out. read more

Been here a couple of times and the times I have been here it has been very homey because I was greeted as if I was an old friend that they had not seen in a long time the service was fast and the food really tender I will be back. read more

I am yelping this place not only because my boyfriend really enjoyed the peanut butter pancake meal this morning coming back from Vegas. But, also because I wanted to commend the Manager. She was actually busting her ass because they seemed short on waitresses. As a former Denny's girl I know this isn't always the way it goes. So I wanted to say good job! Thank you for the great food and excellent service! Will stop again if ever in town. read more

we went to mcdonald's around 12 am customer service was so horrible the guys was rude and crumbled up our recipe when he gave it to us . the food wasn't even fresh . and it was 1-1-23 the dates manager should check who worked this night and fire him unbelievable. i live in town and we will never go back there . definitely calling corporate never had such a bad service guy was rushing and getting irritated ended up paying more as well because he said my mobile wasn't working ! rate 0 read more

Brand new location. Beautiful restaurant. No waiters, no host, no cashier. Sat for 15 mins with no service. Walked out. read more

Well on the way to San Bernardino on Sunday April 28,2019 we stoped for dinner and had fabulous service by a Hispanic young lady. She was the shift mgr she was very helpful and food was pretty good. However on the way back to Las Vegas, Nevada we decided to stop and grab two shakes for our drive home. This was on Tuesday afternoon on April 30, 2019 and thinking we were going to be treated as nice is the reason we stopped here again. Surprise the Caucasian manager was a rude nasty lady. We asked why we only got a small shake verses the huge once you get when you eat inside and instead of just answering our question she said that's all you get!! Wow talk about a shocker. Shame because it changed my opinion to ever stop there next time we go to CA. read more

My food was great! Delivered to the table hot. Coffee was ok. I love the waitress. Extremely friendly and able to predict what we need. I can hear the manager or shift leader. She is watching everything and making sure things running smooth. Great Job!! Everything is new in this building. I like the seats are still firm. Nice!! read more

I say 3 stars because I have had good experiences .. but the last time we went I found a hair in my eggs ... so I told the waitress and they fixed our food and gave us my meal for free but I just put the food into a To go counter and left it there .. I don't think anyone wants to eat there. The Main Street one in Barstow. read more

This location did a great job taking care of the customers. The only thing was that it seemed that they were a bit understaffed to take care of the large demand of customers. I want to give a big shout out to the waitresses and kitchen workers for busting their butt off. The ladies dealt with the customers so calmly, while doing the best they could to be of the best service. Please treat the staff kindly! They're doing everything they can to work with you. Please also keep in mind that certain food items on the menu may not be available due to large demand, etc. This place can get busy like it was when I came here to eat on a Tuesday night. read more

I usually dont have to much to complain about with Dennys, I do like the majority of their food and the service is usually good. Sadly though this post isn't going to be a good one. I recently went there to eat with my fiance as him and his sister wanted to take their mom out to a birthday dinner and the food was cold, the garlic butter for my overcooked steak was still frozen, my fiance's mom didnt get her soup with her meal. We all did feel bad for the server cause he was trying really hard to take care of everyone including us so that's not his fault. read more

Stuck in Barstow waiting for a tire shop to open. Laura was a bright spot in our journey. She made our visit for a middle of the night meal a very pleasant experience read more

Server was slow, just to get our drink order. The food came fast and was delicious. Will definitely be eating here again.

I usually eat @ this place and enjoy the food and service. When I get a steak, They cook it better than most Steak houses. Too done it looses the vitamin ( B) too.under cooked is hard on the digestive system. Crystal today was great. But it seems the training is effective. This store retains their staff for a long time. That gives a personal feeling touch. read more

Stopped here on the way back to La from Vegas. Denny's always seems to have consistent food. It was the perfect comfort breakfast served by friendly staff!! read more

Worst service and food ever. Waited over an hour at 11:15am today for our food, group of 7. Some of our meals were as basic as a cold turkey sandwich with nothing on it but turkey, cheese and lettuce (this was brought out last). Other groups came in around or after us and left before we even got our food. Waitress took forever to bring our drinks, forgot several times to bring water that was requested and when we addressed it, she clearly didn't care that we were patient but frustrated. The 3 burgers that were delivered first were cold by the time the 4 other meals were delivered, all at separate times. We didn't cause a scene, we were polite but this is totally unacceptable. Food was cold, eggs were barely cooked scrambled eggs and she confirmed her lack of maturity, respect and work ethic by failing to send over a manager when she said she would. We will never go back to this Denny's and the waitress, not sure of her name, should definitely receive a write up for her horrible customer service. Here's a tip (the only tip she received from us), if you can't do your job and do it well, you should NOT be a food server/waitress. Maybe you should join the janitorial team, this restaurant could sure use some help, it was extremely dirty! To top it off, we never received an apology and she didn't acknowledge in ANY way that the service was poor & slow. read more

I had given up on Denny's years and years ago after eating at one of their joints in West Los Angeles. My experience was awful, so I just cast them aside. Arriving at Barstow, I have to give this particular Denny's three stars because it exceeded my expectations by far. I still am not a great fan of their using margarine to cook their eggs, hash browns, etc. (or even their grilled cheese toast sandwich). But, I've learned that you can order breakfast with butter on the side, and this makes a considerable difference whether you just want to place butter on your toast or your pancakes. They have a fairly extensive menu. I enjoy their mango drink. Their orange juice is fine, not great but fine. Oddly, their sirloin steak is pretty good -- got great but better than I've had at more expensive restaurants in Barstow. Unfortunately, you can't get this with a baked potato, but their cheesy mashed potatoes are not a bad side, and I like their broccoli -- not undercooked over overcooked. This, combined with their cheesy (or garlic or both) slices of bread make the cost pretty reasonable and definitely filling. I would never have expected Denny's to present a steak that was even halfway edible, but they have. They have a giant selection of burgers -- none of which I've tried to date, but probably will sometime in the future. Other notables are their hot chocolate and a frappacino, both of which are very palatable. Their breakfast is steady. The ham and cheese omelet is very tasty, as is are their regular eggs plus hash browns plus bacon or sausage (if you can excuse the margarin). My wife has tried their pot roast and found it to be satisfying. For a mere diner with a dubious reputation, I have found this particularly Denny's to be very fine. They tend to be a tad overpriced but not so much so as to be entirely totally off putting. You can find the place to be nearly vacant or really hopping. On whole, the waitresses are very good, and you can see them sweating to meet everyone's demands. If I were stopping over from Vegas to L.A., this is the place to come to (and many people do). read more

I bet I could order online and pick it up before I get a drink while sitting here at this table.

I love Denny's! But today was the worst experience I'v had. First we waited for almost an hour just to get part of our Order and then the oder was not accurate. There was lot of mistakes. Just to name one: I ordered the cheddar mashed potatoes and i first got regular potatoes i pointed it out to the waitress she took my plane only to bring me mashed potatoes with cold cheese on top. I was disappointed that after getting the order wrong the first time they would bring a plate out like that. Its as if they didn't care! I enjoy my mashed potatoes when they have cheese completely melted. I can definitely say I will NEVER eat at this location again! read more

Very slow service with only 5 tables occupied and 3 waitresses. Most of the restaurant is vacant. I think the lack of service is becoming well known. read more

Service here is horrible. Food was cold. Worst place ever. We've been to other Dennys and they have been great this place does not deserve any stars. read more

We were seated quickly are waitresses Soledad she is wonderful service was excellent the food was great I can't say enough about this Denny's best ever thank you very much Soledad you're great read more

Always stop here on way to Vegas & never disappointed. Great service & good always prepared the way you like it.

I am very sorry but this place has horrible service. We were sitter by a boy (less than 10) and it was very cute at first, but when we decided to take our food to go he charged for the order and never came back. We waited around 25 mins and I had to tell other waitress to please complete order. Our food got cold and while we were there other three people complained about their service. :( read more

First time I came here, I waited 15 minutes and left due to no service. Second time, my food comes out separately. Finally get my pancakes when I'm done with everything else and they're the wrong kind of pancakes. Currently waiting for my pancakes. read more

Stopping by off Exit 184 in Barstow,California on my drive along I-15 South to Los Angeles last Wednesday night, I didn't want to have McDonald's for a night's meal, so I went driving up the "hill" and pulled in to the parking lot of Denny's for a quick dine-in,to rest, and for a restroom stop. I altogether stayed longer than I expected. Walking in by the glass double doors of the restaurant, I was greeted by a smiling middle-aged host-waitstaff server who happily led me and my Mom to a table along the windowed Denny's Restaurant. The diner-like setting have seating that is ample enough with tables arranged along the glass windows overlooking Main Street. A flat-screened TV was on on the far end wall of the restaurant where small table and chairs were set up before it. A tri-fold pamphlet I saw on the table have Nutritional Dietary Information good for checking out food nutrition facts. It was late night and I was hungry enough for anything. I chose to dine on "The Ultimate Skillet" which was cooked by the chef-of-the-night; easily viewable from the table across through the bar and the kitchen window. In a short time, my order was served arriving on my table on a large, sizzling platter. Just cooked the way I like it, I ate, loved it, and it was tasty. With such a reasonable price, I had a good meal which led me to try their chocolate fudge cake which was delicious. I took my time savoring the good food! and stayed much longer thereafter over hot beverage both me and my Mom sipped slowly through the night, actually through Thursday early morning hour. The same smiling hostess-waitstaff lady came by to converse with us. I was even able to really have a relaxing "rest". A few more travelers came by to dine in. Hours later, thereafter, I went to the restroom which I found clean. With friendly staff, quick service and good dining atmosphere, and price ranging from $4 on up, this is a great place to dine in while travelling on the open road, as it is open 24 hours in this community situated along the I-15 highway to Los Angeles and in opposite direction to Las Vegas. read more

My boyfriend and my kids n I have been here several time within the past year and I have to say that each time got progressively worse, last night was the final straw. EVERY waitress that works there is lazy. They don't care about the customers. Either they ignore you or are rude. There was 3 waitresses there last night, a white girl with blonde hair, a Mexican with black hair, and a black chick with a high pitched voice. The restaurant was dead, so dead 2 of the waitresses could've been sent home. They people cooking the food can care less also. The food is never presentable, burnt, or has been sitting under a heat lamp for way too long. Last night we left feeling nauseous and grossed out. We will never go there again and I suggest other people reading this do the same. read more

Not a huge fan of Denny's but this was the best option on a late evening during a trip. My dad loves the senior menu prices and got a plate off that. I took a "lighter fair" meal of some sandwich with avocado, which is about 550 calories. That's light? Yikes! Ice tea wasn't too delicious but they kept filling it up. Neighborhood seemed sketchy as there were some strange people popping in looking for handouts and in the area. This has the feel of an old time diner. But it did the trick and neither of us got sick. read more

I used to love this place 5 yrs ago! But, this is my first time back and I can not tell which is worse the food of the service our waitress literally took our order brought us our food and NEVER RETURNED! Def my last time here! I'll go IHop from now on read more

Our waitress literally gave herself a $10 tip on a $25 bill. she even asked us, how much we would like to add for tip, we said $3, she added her own amount. read more

I've been to this restaurant many many times over the years but today I went in and it was amazing I got Soledad as my server and I can not express how much this woman took care of not only my table but the other 4 tables around me she came by to check everything did not hesitate to fill my drink or ask if I needed anything she had a smile on her face the moment she saw us. I'm complicated and ask a lot of questions and she answered every question and even suggested things I will come back & request her every time!! read more

Went for a late night dinner, had the chicken fried steak, eggs and potatoes. Everything was cooked perfect. The server was very friendly. They may have improved cause I don't have a clue what the 1-3 star reviews are talking about. read more
