Stay away from this place. The waitresses are rude, cut you off mid sentence and food took over an hour. All of that after we stood at the door for over 15 min without any acknowledgement (keep in mind we were the ONLY ones waiting to be seated) then took over 10min just to get waters on the table. The management of this Dennys is horrendous and it is run terribly. If I were the owner I would take a seriously hard look at this place. Ive seen 2 seperate tables literally ask if their food was done yet and get up and walk out. Losing business and for good reason. read more

Never been a big fan of Denny's Restaurants, but a waitress Dulin S at this Denny's on I 5 in CA has to be the worlds most amazing waitress!!! My husband and I were passing through heading south on I5 in CA on Christmas Eve about 9pm when we decided it was time for some dinner. We were pulling a 5th wheel and Denny's looked like the best place to pull off that would have a place to park our big beast. We were greeted and sat the minuted we walked in, Dulin S was our waitress, she was so sweet and efficient. Got our drinks right away, took our order and the food came just about as fast. Yes it was hot and dam good! Dulin S seemed to know when we needed something and there she was. While watching her in action we noticed she was training other employees as well. I truly can not say enough about her, she was amazing. Thank you Dulin S for making our Christmas Eve a dinner experience to remember! You have to be the sweetest most efficient waitress we have ever had at any restaurants. If you happen to stop in at Denny's in Gustine CA make sure Dulin S is your waitress, you wont regret it! Thanks Dulin The Thornhills read more

OK this morning for breakfast, but there are way more flies than customers! Next time probably somewhere different. Service and kitchen were pretty slow. Credit card machines down. The place needs some help. read more

Menus were Gross and sticky. The waitress was slow to asking we needed anything. The English muffin was barely toasted, the chicken fried gravy was Luke warm at best...eggs were watery...the good side...I had a 20% off your bill coupon...nice that bit was in the parking lit of the motel me stayed at for the night...that's all read more

My visit was a couple days ago and I've been debating whether or not to write about my experience but I'll definitely never be eating here again so why not. My mom and I walked in and were asked by the host to wait 15 minutes for a table to open up, we agreed and sat at the waiting booth. After waiting about 7-10 minutes a group of 5 white males walk in and they were spotted by a waitress and were seated immediately. I was so confused. I looked at my mom, she looked at me and all we could think is the obvious right? They're white, we're brown (Mexican) they get seated first and we're still waiting for a table. What else were we supposed to think besides that this was a racial thing. I didn't even want to eat there anymore but my mom did so we waited another minute and the host tells us our booth is ready and as she's walking us over I ask her "Is there a reason why they were seated before us?" And she said that the waitress who seated them didn't know that we had been waiting first. Yeah sure, sounds about white. Anyway, I guess the host told the waitress that I was upset and she came to apologize to us and told us she'd waive our drinks for the inconvenience, I thanked her but honestly I was too upset to care for her apology. Would she have apologized if I hadn't of spoken up? I doubt it. I'm sure it would have just been swept under the rug. I wasn't going to write a review I was just going to shrug it off but if I stay quiet about this how many other people of color will they allow this to happen to? read more

Denny's - I would not have been so generous with the tip but my mom said she left her 20% to show her that we aren't as*holes lol - Diners Near Me - Gustine, California

worst service that I have ever had! Waitress Duhlin was very rude, unattentive. By the time our food got to our table it was cold and orders were messed up. Nobody had substitutions or anything and they were not busy. only positive thing I could say about my visit is that the 2 male hosts were very nice and helpful with what they could do. Will not come here again. read more

Server went on break and no one ever came back and check on us we had to go searching for someone to give us our check. Only thing that was good was the hamburger and my glass of water.. read more

I hate giving bad reviews but this place is definatly up for bad review. We orders our meals. We got our meals everything was decent. Then our waitress had to leave our new waitress came they said shes in charge of our meals. We then placed another order to go for my mom and thats when we had to wait for 45min they waitres was confussed i tried to explain but she wanted to talk rather than listen. So she said we will have to wait again so they can put our order in again?? Wtf?? So we did and we got our food and they ran out of togo boxs so they gave it to us in a dennys card bord box. Disgusting. read more

Denny's #8791 this one, first we waited in line but that's not an issue and we get inside server took my order right away it's nice at first but later she came back saying my order is out. I change my order later she came back again saying order is out, still smiling at this moment, I order again they had me seat waiting for each order, only server yet again saying they're out. If your sold out why not let your customer know ahead of time, I don't understand why have me wait for each order that is out. Horrible experience especially when your hungry and been in the road for awhile. Then utensil is dirty or dried mashed potatoes on it. read more

Waiter was great, food was good. Except for the manager on duty today (5/28/21 9:49pm). She sees her waiter struggling to keep up with tables and bothers not to help. We were waiting to get refills so we approached her and says she was going to go to our table to give us our drinks. Well that was not the case she kept disappearing. We ended up leaving. read more

Second time I been here and the waitress the same waitress is rude again last times I come here we had to speak to mangers and this time same thing on the same waitress that informed the mangers-who does that talk to the manger and tell them I gotta warn you about them cuz we complain about this waitress before cuz of how rude she was now she was even rider so y'all want rude survive and other waitress laugh at yu go ahead and stop by this Denny's so there for I called corporate like I said I was cuz that's not Hospitality what so every read more

The environment was crazy. The back asked the radio be turned up incredibly loud, which impeded table conversation. Lots of clanging dishes...unnecessary noise. In sum, it did NOT make for a relaxing break from a long day on the road. read more

This is one of the best experiences my wife and I have ever had at Denny's. Courtney our waitress, gave us stellar, cheerful service. She is quite the ray of sunshine during her double shift. The food was good too. A great dinner value. read more

Santa Nella seems to be a natural stopover driving between the S.F. Bay Area and L.A. as it's approximately 2-2.5 hrs. into the drive (beginning from the Bay Area). Denny's is one of several restaurant choices on this major stopover off I-5. Food was Denny's OK as the previous reviewers have said. On this morning, food seemed to take forever, as I made several trips back out to my car only to return to see that the food still hadn't come. This, despite what appeared to be an overstaffed serving crew. (Waitress was pleasant enough, just maybe not enough cooks). Wouldn't necessarily be inclined to stop by again if ever in the area based upon this experience. read more

The waitresses and basically the service are really slow in this restaurant. Also, the pancakes here are so bland, it literally just tastes like water and flour. Lastly, we came as a party of seven and they put us in a small space/table instead of putting us in a wider space, seriously?!? the restaurant only had 4 customers when we came! Why put us on the very corner? read more

Normally a Denny's is a Denny's, but this place is really nice. After being stuck on the road with a confused and angry toddler, its good to be treated like a human being and not just a customer. The people here were nice to her, nice to me, and nice to my wife. It wasn't overly busy, but it wasn't empty or creepy either. We got a great deal of attention from our waitress and the baby got to keep the desert menu. I was especially impressed when the waitresses put down the plates out of reach of the toddler instead of right where she could grab it and put her hands within my food as so many other places seem to do. They took the time to know better and they cared. That means a lot to a father who cant remember the last restaurant meal he had that didn't have "baby hands" as the final added ingredient. read more

It's a Denny's so the food was... Denny's. Ok food. Definitely a stop on the highway that beats Jack in the Box and the likes but would certainly not go back if I was not driving by. Still I wanted to give my special thanks to the ladies working there who are very nice, friendly and helpful. A bowl of fresh air in customer service after the shitty attitude found in most establishments during my short stay in LA. read more

Does anyone need to be reminded that this is a DENNY'S?! As in you should come to expect less than mediocre service and food. Also this is out in the middle of nowhere and probably has its share of travelers on a daily basis. Order what's on the menu and keep it moving. I'm not sure why folks expect more than that. We stopped here on our way home. I know the deal. There isn't going to be anything extremely healthy for me here, but it's a hell of a lot better than starving and taking it out on some motorist out on the road. I ordered the Fit Slam : two pieces of turkey bacon, an egg white omelet with tomatoes and spinach with a side of fruit (a mini fruit salad for me). The waitress forgot that I wanted the fruit instead of the english muffin but ended up getting both. The service was slow, a little frustrating when there are probably 20 people in the entire restaurant including employees. So back to what I said in the first paragraph. read more

Maybe we were lucky or they have improved. Stopped by during our road trip for dinner. The place was not as crowded. The staff are really friendly. They cater to our need and the waiter even made joke. He totally made our night. A lil laughter is great after a long drive. Our food was great unlike what the other review said. So I guess we came in at the right time. read more

Good food compare to the prices. They have a nice daily value deal going on with turkey sandwich and a soup of the day for 6. Personnel was friendly, payment was a little weird since we needed to share with 8 of us. read more

This Denny's is great! I love the people, the good food and always a short wait. They also do a great to go business and include all the fixings. read more

Worst food and service at this Dennys! Wasted our time there waiting for our food to come out - over half an hour. It was cold, toast was cold, my eggs were NOT over easy, and the country fried steak looked old. read more

I liked it. Service was great. Food was good. I like my eggs sunny up and they delivered. Everything was hot.

Food typical for a Denny's. Alright but service was horrible. Dirty tables everywhere, no bussers, slow slow service. Took an hour for lunch

Waitress was awesome, place is very clean. It's a typical Denny's. Will stop again in my way thru town!

Terrible service and apparently bad management. They were out of most of the milkshake flavors, we had to ask for silverware, and everything took forever (ordering, drinks, food, and getting the check all took a very long time). What should have been a quick stop for food took over an hour. By the time our food came we were considering just paying for our drinks and leaving. The food itself was ok (typical Denny's food). read more

I just came in kinda heat of the moment......it was like 330 and we got seated instantly.....drinks instantly.......ordered food which i altered a little and to no problems it showed up perfectly.......chesse burger with bacon over easy egg with all the fixings and peanutbutter and jelly......my wife ordered club sandwich and it was so F#&(@*$; good with the avocado ......i see 1 star reviews but honestly i dont see how.....maybe a KIND or POSITIVE attitude goes a long way.....left 20$ tip and will definitely be coming back.......only downside no booze :/ read more

There food taste like complete grease bruh, i was so hungry and i had a mouthful of like complete oil DISGUTSANG

Go somewhere else. We left as could not get service. We seated ourselves at counter but none of the staff even acknowledged our presence. After a bit, a man sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. One of the waitresses even brought him a drink. When I asked about why the had not yet served us, but were immediately tending to him she responded that those weren't even her stations. read more

My family and I stopped here for breakfast on our way to Disneyland. From the hostess to the cashier, all were very pleasant and hospitable. The restaurant was well staffed today. The food was fresh and prepared to perfection. The women's restroom was presentable except for a couple messy users. Nothing gross. Only odd thing is there isn't a mirror in the restroom. I'm suspecting it was vandalized by some disrespectful customers in the past. It's worth stopping by for a meal if you're in the area. read more

We waited a long time for a simple hamburger and a soup. I asked for a chicken noodle soup and the waitress came half an hour after to tell me that they did not have it. It's just not a good place to stop after a long ride. It just makes you very inconveniently uncomfortable. read more

Fucking shit. Order was super late and cold. And they got my order wrong. Hashbrowns were burnt and pancakes were frozen

This Denny's is atrocious. Shouldn't matter if it's on I-5 or not. Try to at least do the job or get out. Hosting was OK, not crowded; but the food is Terrible. I ordered meatloaf with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were runny, they looked like soup! The tea was made with the crap well water which smelled and tasted like rotten eggs from the sulfur. They have also gotten my order wrong when I ordered from online to go. Be careful and watch your food. read more

great service. food was satisfactory. our waitress was excellent. come by for a short dinner break.

this was the best dennys we've been to in a long time! our server Dulin S was amazing. even though she was running back and forth trying to make food and take orders, we never went long without her popping by to see if we needed anything. 100% recommend. read more

Sat our party of 7 in a back corner and forgot we were there. I first went up to ask where our server was because we have been sitting there for a while and no one has even taken our drink order. Then the waitresses began with their rude comments saying if we wanted to leave we should just leave. Worst service I've ever experienced to be honest. I'm a patient person and I simply just walked out without saying a word because I had enough of their rude comments to my family and I. Do not recommend this location at all. read more
