Good vibe with people here. Sonya our waiter took good care of us. Food was fast quick and enjoyable. I see the workers are making sure the customer is happy with anything they need. read more

They never pick up phone si I went in and ordered. I asked lady why this store doesn't answer phone she said phone not working. So I sat down and called the phone ringed many times and the employees just walked by ringing phone. They don't pick up phone then they lie to you. read more

Update July '12: I've been to the Hayward Denny's about 3 times after writing my original post. This means my views have changed toward this Denny's because things have begun to turn around at this particular franchise. On one occasion, it was during the late of night, somewhat similar to the dreadful night I had previously; however during this experience, me and my 4 friends had received our order within 10-15 minutes of ordering. This also includes the fact that the place was at about 65% capacity. I had ordered my new-longed favorite: the Brownie Sundae a la mode. The waitress served this at the precise time that my friends had worked into their full meals. By the time I had finished, so did my friends. The timing was impeccable as I didn't have any standby time between the rest of the table even though my meal was smaller in size. They've upped their staff, their timing of serving water and keeping us updated on the status of our food is the main reason why I don't mind going back to this particular franchise. I'm not giving this more than 3 stars because on another occasion, I had specifically ordered the Malibu Fish Tacos (pointed it out from the Tour of America pamphlet) but the waiter had served me a serving of half-nachos. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes while my friends ate before my order arrived. Summary of food ordered here: Brownie Sundae a la mode: Top notch dessert for the price. The brownie is extremely soft and I have not had any burnt sides or bottoms to date. The ice cream is the cream of the crop to a warm brownie and they aren't stingy on the chocolate syrup. (A+) Strawberry Pancake Puppy Sundae: This is up there on the pancake puppy sundae list. I still think the Blueberry PP Sundae is the cream of all the pancake sundae crop, but this was extremely close. The amount of serving of Strawberry syrup and berries are great for the price and the fried strawberry pancakes are sweet and fresh. (A) Malibu Fish Tacos: Part of the "Tour of America" campaign this summer. The price is solid for the amount of food served. The tacos are pretty tasty, including the pico-de-gallo topping. The only downside are the size of the fish sticks inside the taco (B) read more

This place is very unprofessional, My eggs weren't cooked all the way, Food was 10 mins late, There was a tiny hair in my food, And they got the orders wrong six times. read more

This star is for the times I go there for breakfast and the build your own slam. The dinners are something not to be desired. The service was friendly but slow and inattentive and the meal was not a good value even though it was cheaper than Chilis 2 for $20. Although I never went to Denny's for the food, this place has went downhill, IMHO, after the renovation. How can ground steak be worst than a burger (maybe it is not)? The $8 cowboy steak was really rough and dry and the sides really did not help. The smoked cheddar mashed potato was really chalky and the cheese did not smell smoky. Hence two for $16 with drinks included is no match for 2 for $20 at Chilis without drinks. I hope their late night apps are still good. read more

Really had an excellent service here! Never fails to disappoint me and always quick with serving and bringing the food!

Closed during business hours? Really. Need to clean? Really. Must be really filthy? Or just lazy or just under staffed and needed a break? But we'll never know or go back. Why? Because we won't know if it's open or not !!!! read more

No place better for a late night dinner with family, tonight we were served by Carlos V. who was very nice and bilingual which is a lot of help! read more

Onkar great service fast and friendly service, .... Good food crepes were sooo good

The food was delicious. Service was on point by Shantel. Would pop in to check often.

This place is a dump! I ordered a salmon last night with mash potatoes and fried the mash potatoes looked nasty af had a huge black lump in there so I didn't touch them I moved on to my salmon and as I'm seating it I notice something super long i thought It was a bone a pick it up and it's soft and still moving! Ladies and gentlemen is was a worm! I have not heard back from anyone regarding the issues. They don't even deserve one star only given because it's the only way to post this review. Stay away!!!!!!! read more

I haven't had Denny's in years, but I was in the area today and popped in, the food was great, better than I remember years ago.

5/12/18 Came here late at night with girlfriend after a plane flight, both of us got food poisoning. 100% sure it was from here because the only other meal we had was lunch with her family and everybody was fine except us two. read more

Onkar seated us quickly & checked on us periodically, great service....will definately be coming here more often

Still rating this place a fat "ZERO". To date, not one person has been in touch with me with and update or resolve after providing contact information. Absolutely nothing was done. With so many other dining options available with much better customer service, I have made it a personal mission to "NEVER" give Denny's another penny of mine. We dine out at least 2-4 times a week, and found so many other dining options from small mom and pop places to 5 star business where the bill can be well over $500. We frequent places for the experience and service and tip very well for personable engaging service. All I can say is, thank you Denny's Corporate office for your lack of regard for dedicated patronage, we now go up the street to Black Bear Diner without incident or excessive name calling for terrible service! read more

Love the service and the food. Definitely recommend, especially the double berry pancakes.

Wait time was not that long and we were seated right away. Our server was very nice and was patient when taking our order.

This Dennys location is by far one of the best in the area. The service was quick and polite. All of the employees were very attentive, especially our server Andrea who was super nice. She kept our cups refilled and check up on us frequently . Definitely recommend for any occasion 10/10 read more

great food! enjoyed breakfast with my daughter and had a great waitress! her name was Sandra G and she was very attentive and sweet! I will be coming back :) read more

This place always lacks servers. The Asian Manager is rude and doesn't know how to manage the place. Poor service. Go elsewhere if you want better service. Went once and witnessed the Asian Manager being rude to customers who were waiting to be sat. Seems like she gets overwhelmed. read more

We have tried to keep coming back thinking maybe it would change(since we live close) but this location is just not a good one . Every time we come there's customers standing around and we are all waiting and waiting to be seated or even be acknowledged even when the place is pretty empty . I ordered some food to go a couple days ago , I tried to call in about three times and no answer . So I just went in and ordered ..... took way too long to begin with which I work in the restaurant industry and can understand , but I paid $30 for my order to be missing and not cooked all the way. The hash browns were still hard and undercooked :( and for the All American grand slam they didn't even give the full order , which I should of checked before leaving . And when I tried to call to let them know they forgot some of my order I couldn't cause no one answered the phone again . Very disappointing . Not sure if they need more people but it seems like it . read more

Great service today at dennys. The super slam is a great deal. My server Andrea L was very kind and patient with my son. 5stars xx

This is a place I always pass by after dropping my son in school. Place is clean, staff nice but it could take too long to wait for take home orders. Parking is ample. Food is cheap too and their pancakes are just so fluffy, I don't have to go and wait longer in IHOP. read more

Andreas had great customer service. Everything is excellence. I would definitely recommend people to come and check out the place. Best customer service so far me. read more

This place used to be good... Service is horrible Wait is even worst Quality is bad Anytime you come here be ready to wait!!! Last 3 times I decided to come one with friends or family it's been a horrible. Wait for drinks at least 30-45 minutes and then food another 30- -60 minutes. On one of those 3 visits we walked out after an hours of waiting and not even getting water.... read more

Came here around 1-2am and everything went pretty smoothly. We were seated right away and our waitress, Josefina, did not take too long to take our orders either. I ordered a big Dipper (I think that was the name) and it was pretty good. The food came out at a reasonable time and the order was correct. Josefina was friendly. I really have no complaints about this Denny's other than there might be some people outside asking for spare change. I'm not sure what it's like here during the day but I'd come back here for some late night food. read more

Our waitress Jessica was really nice gave us great service food was really yummy would definitely come again

I would not recommend this place to a pig. Service shit waiters r dyslexic. Food js like prison

Went For Breakfast This Morning before 10. I was greeted and seated promptly It was a bit busy, My server (Sarajni) promptly greeted me said she would be right with me and she was, she took my order brought me my drink and it seemed like minutes I got my Breakfast, she checked on me several times which I appreciated. Overall I Had a Great Experience -The only Thing I can offer is to say I'd like to see the Parking lot spruced up . Repave and Add some Trees around perimeter . read more

WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!! We get here and they hand us our menus- one of which is sticky and dirty. We let it slide and order two hot chocolates, my cup comes out with a lipstick stain on it(I wasnt wearing any lipstick) Which i didnt even notice until I was half way done and my husband pointed it out to me. At this point we were starting to get upset. Finally after about 20min they brought our food and my burger was-you guessed it-COMPLETELY WRONG!! Of course the waitress got it wrong TWO MORE TIMES. Finally I had enough and asked to speak to the manager who had to personally take my order because it was not getting through to the waitress.The waitress was named Sarojni, if you get her quickly ask for another server! read more

I made the mistake of coming here to use a gift card. I arrived at 12:37 and didn't get soup or sandwich until 1:33. Didn't get water for over 40 minutes while the adults at the tables nearby with many squealing children seemed to think spilling drink cups and squirting ketchup onto the floor would help expedite their order. The soup was supposed to be vegetable but I got beef barley and since I'm already complaining, the sandwich was on the small side, with broken toast. Took action by harassing a manager to bring my bill. Unlikely to return. read more

By far the worst breakfast I have ever had ! Bacon was like plastic , eggs were wet and smothered in cheese! I love cheese but this was not good ! Sausage was good and that's about it ! read more

terrible, waited an hour for the T-Bone Steak Dinner and ended up getting a raw steak instead, also my fries weren't warm at all. The worst part was my father and I had to wait 20 minutes to pay because of register malfunctions. read more

6/23/19: This is the Denny's I usually come to because it is the closest to my house. Summer has started, so one night around 8:30PM, a group of 4 other friends and I came into this Denny's for a meal. The service was smooth and as fast as could be expected. I ordered a CAKE BATTER MILKSHAKE (my brother got a STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE). Their Cake Batter Milkshake is unexpectedly good. I could not stop myself from drinking this, it was sweet but not too sweet. I also ordered a side of EGGS, cooked OVER EASY. My brother and I decided to split the NEW GARLIC PEPPERCORN SIRLOIN STEAK And we got two sides of the CREAMED CORN with JALAPEÑOS. For dessert, we wanted SALTED CARAMEL AND BANANA CREAM PANCAKES but since they ran out of banana, they replaced it with STRAWBERRIES, which was even better. At the end we ordered another two sides of creamed corn. I love this place, but maybe I should eat less next time haha. read more

Great Denny's location. Friendly staff. Fast service. Server Andrea is wonderful. Kind manager Onkar.

If you aren't Hispanic don't go here. We walked in got seated. Got ignored multiple times. We had to ask the server to order. She said she didn't know where the other server was that apparently we were supposed to have. When the whole time we were there we never saw another server. Not a good dennys the food was good and it was clean. There were 3 tables of customers when we got there and we were the 4th. But totally ignored. read more

While eating my food, I felt something crawling on the side of the booth and come to find out. It was a ROACH! I will not be returning, it moved to fast to capture a picture... GROSS read more

Can't believe I'm reviewing another Denny's, but this one deserves some love. The service here was very fast and their breakfast slams were pretty good. Also, they didn't skimp on portions like some of the other Denny's I've been to, so extra points for that. Get the Southern Chicken slam, it is such a good deal! read more

Beverly was super nice and friendly she offered me a refund but i just wanted the food re-made. I will definitely go back if she was working. Im also a General Manager so i understand her stress. She was very easy to talk to & apologetic about her rude employee that didnt have any customer service skills. My rave is only for Beverly, not the food or other staff. read more
