The service was fast and efficient. The food was hot and fresh. The restaurant was clean and so were the restroom. 5 stars for sure

Very good and friendly service. But food is di so. Scrambled eggs with raw cheese strewn on top. Overly sweet pancakes. All of Dennys food tastes artificial and filled with chemicals. But good service and fair prices. read more

This is my family's favorite go to place. My husband's "addicted" to their strawberry, banana pancakes. No matter the number of times we go, "The service is quick no matter how busy it is. It's clean and the staff friendly. read more

Service, service, food taste, menu, ambiance. That's the order I judge a restaurant. None of these impressed me enough to return. After reading and seeing how Denny's treats the animals they use for their dishes, and then the customers who protest that treatment, I shall never eat at a Denny's again. Ever. read more

Came in on January 3rd, around 2:00 pm. Waited to be seated in an empty restaurant, maybe 4-5 tables ocuppied. Waitress serving coffee, saw us. Busboy cleaning table saw us, another lady that was previously at the front, just walked back to room or bathroom, cooks just stared at us. After 15 minutes, of waiting and nobody at least saying, I'll be with you in a minute, we just left. We'll never be back at that place !!!! read more

Had the most amazing breakfast here this morning on my to California. Its called the sizzling Santa Fe scramble! The staff here is friendly and attentive. The cook knocked it outa the park (yes, even though this is a chain restaurant, still gotta put the love into cooking). Gonna make this a stop each time. read more

Can i leave minus stars raiting??? We went to have lunch we arrived at 12:05 pm and order right away cause we only get 1 hour for lunch, well 40 minutes passed and i told the waiter to box my food to go, 10 minutes after nothing so we ended up leaving at 12:55 finally with the food to go, we were 3, they only brought 2 cups to go for our drinks, i ask for my drink to be removed from the ticket, at that point I didn't even wanted my food, and we payed 55 dlls !!!! 55 dlls for the worst service and food ever.... we came back to the office and one of our co workers said that she got a sampler to go from dennys and they gave her the chicken raw !!!!!! RAWWW !!!!! The worst ever. read more

the service here is great !! absolutely amazing. food is a 10/10. drinks are very refreshing

We waited and hour and food never came . The kitchen staff ringing the bell that it was ready for about 10 mins the waitress would not pick up . We asked for the manager they said like they didn't care "he's over there" we just let him know that we were leaving because we were gonna miss our movie after waiting an hour ! We had bad experience in a lot of Denny's . No more Denny's for US read more

Joel and his staff did an amazing job making sure our breakfast experience was a good one. Joel , without hesitation made me some Strawberry cake pancakes after I had ordered the regular ones because he overheard me talking about them and how deliciiouse looked. My wife and I will definitely be coming back to this place read more

I was staying in a hotel around the corner, so I thought I'd have Denny's for dinner. I read a previous review saying that it smelled bad inside and was that person right! Peeeyoooww. But if you can withstand the smell and order your food to go, it's the same as any Denny's out there. I ordered a Country Fried Steak w/Egg's and everything came in one box. I thought it may have been separated, but the country fried steak was stacked on top of the hashbrowns, the Egg & Toast were crunched on the other side. Eehhh, I'd rather it to be separated, but that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. read more

Came to this particular Denny's on the first day of a Baja trip before crossing the border. I haven't been to Denny's in a while, and I've only been a handful of times, but let me tell you... this meal hit the spot. Usually I'm the type of guy who prefers a mom and pop diner, but this came pretty close to tasting home cooked. The eggs were a perfect over easy, sausage tasted good, hash browns crispy and soft. And the pancakes, my goodness. They have a fantastic flavor and texture. Somehow they are so soft and ever so chewy, but a nice chew, like a perfectly baked slice of bread. I will say, the syrup was not the best quality, but it was a nice compliment. I did not try it, but my dad had that roasted jalapeño in the corner of my photo with his breakfast and he loved it. Also let me tell you about the service. Nancy was our waitress and she was quite possibly one of the best waiters/waitresses I've ever had at any diner, heck any restaurant. She was super sweet and helpful. She came around and recommended things to us, just overall great service. You could tell she has been doing this for a while and knows how to interact with customers. So thank you Nancy, and the staff at this Denny's for restoring my faith in this classic American Diner Chain. I hope to return one day. read more

Hello, Come on it's dennys. The food is all right. The service is good and the place is clean. If your hungry late at night with nothing open go for it. read more

Great service, the food was okay. Really how good do you expect the food to be at a Denny's? There weren't many people in the restaurant but I did go on a Thursday morning. Our waitress was very friendly & attentive & happy to refill our coffee without us asking. Our food came quickly & did the job. read more

Service is the worse, the servers needs to take some costumer service training, the last time I went to that place my brother and me stay there an hour and the food didnt make it ti the table. read more

Customer service absolutely sucks. The place is empty and took 15 minutes to be seated, even acknowledged for that matter though the manager continuously walked up to the booth to grab things and walk away, never we will be right with you. Just to order we waited another 15 just for the waitress to advise she can't tend to us because she has others in the back she's serving and walks away mid order, returning 5 min later to take our order. Food came out cold and tasteless. we left within 20 minutes of receiving the food, barely eating. They seen how irritated we were and then sent other waiters and the manager to check on us at the table and try to box the food for us to take it, we declined and asked for the check, in which I had to request items to be removed due to them never being brought out and then he tried to give us coupons to return. The only benefit, it's one spot that's open barely crossing over from Mexico, but definitely not worth it. Drive a little up more or go up the street to the fast food options. read more

I mean the service is just plain awful. It's like they go out of their way to ignore you. After waiting at the border line for hours, it be nice to be greeted nicely. It be nice to be attended to. My mother's blood sugar was going down, needing a pick me up. We asked them for Apple juice three times before they finally brought it. Next time no Dennys. It will have to be a new spot. read more

I give them no stars! This place is just horrible way better service right up the street at Apple Bees. The service was just awful if you want to go somewhere and be ignored this is your place. No refills, no napkins and you can't even get your check when u ask for it, you have to go to the counter, when asked how the service was we were honest, they even told us we would get a discount lol we didn't even get that. This was our go to spot after coming from Mexicali but this was our last time. read more

Simply horrible, food was nasty the waitress messed up like 4 times. I had the pleasure of bringing my mom to eat here because it was brand new and I was coming down to visit her. She had the honor of pressing the 1 star on this review on my cell phone, that was in fact the only thing that came out of visiting this horrible restaurant that was pleasant. read more

Well, i have to disagree with almost every review i read. Restaurant was packed and i got my seat in less than 5 min and food in about the same amount of time. I was amazed. Service was great too. I need to waste 3.5 hours before an appointment i have here in Calexico but quick service made it difficult to consume much time here. That is a "quality problem" if you know what i mean. read more

The slowest Denny's in the valley. Service is bad, and it constantly smells bad each visit.

I spent a blissful three months working in Mexicali and I had occasion to visit Calexico quite regularly. The city generally sucks, but a little reminder of home was still welcome and Denny's never let me down! read more

I live in Calexico and love Denny's! Their staff is friendly and service is great. It is understandable when busy service could take a little longer and yes, we have experience when service was slow BUT they had an employee called in sick and another had a personal emergency. My daughter and I go so often that they now know us. They come to our table to say hi even when they are not our server. Never had they charge me for food we did not order like it happened in Applebee's. There was one time when we ordered delivery and I got a call from the driver saying our order was not ready, and guess what? They were not serving salads due to a recall but the lady in charge of internet orders neglected to call and let us know so we could order something else. The delivery guy don't work for them yet he called to alert us of the problem and waited while they prepare our food. That speaks of the service quality from Door Dash! So for those saying Applebee's is better.... I don't agree. Denny's is the place to go! read more

Fathers Day family meal turned to the worst meal ever. I guess that the Denny's In Calexico was surprisingly empty on a day like Fathers Day! Waited 15 minutes for our server to come to the table to take our drinks, 30 minutes later the food gets here and it wasn't how we ordered it (keep in mind the restaurant was empty) staff is not attentive, definitely don't recommend the Denny's in Calexico read more

Service sucks this morning .my waitress never came back for for refills bad service I noticed to the manager and she only say ....have a good day. read more

Bad and slow service :/ food was average and decent ... I came here because apple bees was completely filled and busy on a line so I went to Denny's...bad choice should of just waited.. read more

Loved it! Everything is so good the hash browns the pancakes the crepes the burgers are the best!!!!!

Every time my boyfriend and I visited Calexico we stopped for breakfast at this restaurant. This time we left very disappointed, first the service was very, very slow. My boyfriend ordered waffles with ice cream which came to the table super cold bread or waffles. A waffle has to be fresh and hot with the oce cream seen above melting. I kindly asked the waitress to please change the waffle to a warm one and she just stared at me and said ok. (She took it to the kitchen and I guess I just put it in a pan) Once again my boyfriend asked for his waffle ... And same process ... cold bread and ice cream on top without melting. He das so polite. The food came for breaks. First the garlic bread, long minutes after my coffee ... and I had to wait more than 30 minutes for my water. when my boyfriend's food arrived at the same time cold and tasteless. I really could not eat happy because of the discomfort that he felt when he could not enjoy his breakfast read more

I made an order online, when I pulled over to eat notice order was wrong. I did not wanted to drive back since I was already on my way to Arizona so I decided to call restaurant. The transfer me to the manager, (Joel Diaz) which he explained it that he could not refund money since it was an online order but he promised he will compensate next time I was around Calexico. Sure enough 2 weeks later I stopped by and he even remembered my name. He took care of my order and apologized. He's an awesome manager. read more

Disgusting place. Last time I was there found a paper sheet stuck to my burger's patty. From the start I assumed it was a frozen patty that I was eating, but it's quite disgusting to realize I was also eating paper with my overly expensive burger. Waiter merely said, "oh, sorry". Still had to pay full price for paper burger. At least McDonald's has the decency to give you a full refund or free items from their menu, or both. read more

Service is very slow. Food arrived cold to our table. Wouldn't recommend this Denny's at all.

OMG.... The waitress complained all afternoon on how overwhelmed she was with costumers. Not enough staff took forever. Food was served sloppy looking and cold read more

I was on dennys restaurant today april 13, and i would say it has the worst service i had been, i got to the lobby and then they seat my party on the table and wait for about 30 mins and no one came to take any order not even the drinks, we get out of there and when to denny by the iv mall and the service was the best , the one on calexico was almost empty i understand why, and the one by the mall was full and the service was faster and there the service was great. Please do not go to the one on calexico. read more

I have been there many times. A month ago we were seated rapidly but waited 15 minutes and no server approached our table. There were 5 employees visible near the kitchen. We walked out and went to the the Denny's in El centro where we were helped right away. We came back to the Calexico Denny's today. As we were walking in I noticed 2 employees smoking cigarettes by the front door. I pointed out to them that in California it is illegal to smoke within 25 feet of the restaurant. They pointed to the ashtray near the bench they were sitting on as to justify their actions. I pointed this out to the person who welcomed me to the restaurant. My wife wanted me to be quiet because she was afraid that the employees would spit in our food before it was served. The server came right away and asked if we wanted lemon in our water . We said yes but the water she brought us had no lemon. My wife ordered a salmon plate and I ordered a club sandwich. The server asked me if I wanted french fries and I asked her what were my options. I chose onion rings. The server asked my wife if she wanted garlic bread or whole grain bread. My wife chose garlic bread. The food arrived as ordered in about 10 minutes. The salmon plate was perfect. My club sandwich was soggy on the bottom. i should have sent it back but we were in a hurry. Soggy bread is not good. I was honestly thinking about employees spitting on food before it is served. When we got the check we were charged an extra .99 for the garlic bread and another .99 for the onion rings. The server never mentioned that there would be an extra charge for these. I brought this up to the manager and he did not reverse the charges which I told him amounted to fraud. I doubt if I will return. read more

hi, just want to tell the owners of Denny's calexico, that is very sad that they are not going to have NOTHING FOR FATHERS DAY this year. last year a visit my dad on father's day who lives in calexico, then we decided to had breakfast at Denny's calexico. it was very nice when we arrived to Dennys; they had DJ music. then later one of the managers sang the mananitas to all the fathers, I think it was very nice. I went this morning and I asked one of the staff if they were going to have mananitas again & they told me; no ! it was not approved by the owner. read more
