Denny's - Lounge Room - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

Our order was delicious (a shout out for the french toast) and the Staff, Cynthia was super friendly.

This Denny's looks great and the service is impeccable. I went here today and we were seated right away in one of the two-seat blue booths. It was really cold - felt like A/C was blowing on us. I really wanted a waffle combo. Please do not get the waffles!! It came with two small waffles and they were super dense and doughy and were gritty and grainy. They were the worst waffles I have ever had. I would be ashamed and embarrassed serving those. The coffee was great, the eggs were good, the bacon was okay, the sausage links tasted off - like they were turning. I have been to this location several times; always fast friendly service and very clean. Please fix the waffles or remove them from the menu!! I took two small bites of waffle and I could not eat them so I basically paid $17 for 2 eggs, 2 small bacon, and 2 small sausage links. The only reason I gave 3 stars were because the waffles were that bad; otherwise it would be a 4 or 5 star review. read more

Came to Denny's on Hesperian for the first time tonight. This location is beautiful. Went in at night and had the pleasure of being served by Jose. He really made our night. We were a large group (10 of us) and Jose absolutely crushed it! He was very friendly and even though they were short staffed, made sure that we all had our food in a timely manner. He is an asset to this location. I was surprised to find out that he is not a manager. I've worked the restaurant business before and he definitely has manager potential. Food came out hot and to me tasted better than I've had at my local Denny's. When back in the area, I will definitely visit again. read more

Came hear on a prior visit and wasn't too impressed however I'd like to say that the young lady working New Year's Eve had the best attitude when we walked in, greeted us, got out seat ready and I must say it was one of the best experiences I've had with an employee that took care of not just myself but everyone, the drinks came out first, then the food, delicious. She was doing things as though she was in our shoes, everything from the extra napkins to the main dish itself. Great job, a tip well earned and I must say Dennys hiring manager needs more employees such as this. I apologize I didn't remember her name. We walked in around 9-10. I think her name started with a Y. read more

Denny's - Strawberry Stuffed French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

Denny's (510) 962-4574 25010 Hesperian Blvd Hayward, CA 94545 https://locations.dennys.com/CA/HAYWARD/249621 December 11, 2022. *WHAT! I did not know there was a Denny's in Hayward. And I live in San Leandro. Passed by it on our way to Black Bear, so illegal U-turn and Denny's we are going. *Being that it's a Sunday morning, yes parking will be a challenged. BUT it's God's Day so practice practice patience. It was a 25 min wait but again Sunday morning and the Sunday brunch crowd. *I will have to UPDATE this review soon, being that I was excited, and the tummies took priority over the camera. *This will be my new go to location for Denny's; I have not been a fan of the San Leandro location for a while now. Both the service and the foods seemed to have gone downhill. Which is said being that I love supporting local businesses. read more

Luc was out server and she was wonderful she made sure our food came on time and was very hot

I am very disappointed in the service . We have been patronizing Dennys for over 40 years. I always order pancakes with warm syrup. They always accommodate my requests to have the syrup warmed. However, for the first time in over 40 years, our server said she could not do this for me. I would never have stopped at this location had I known! I will definitely never come back. I am a server myself, and I always go above and beyond to make my customers happy!!!!! read more

I'm only giving 2 stars for the esthetics. Inside it was clean and nice. Now let's move forward to the service. No greeting when entered fine, the lady that took me to my table. Rude. The waitress (Luz) seemed like she had a lot going on so I was trying to accommodate her by being a little bit more patient and understanding. However, when I received my check, I noticed that she had overcharged me on 2 drinks that I had sent back because the orange juice was so watered down. I wasn't willing to pay $5 a glass. When I asked her to remove them because I had sent it back, she yanked it out of my hand and when she came back to give me the new receipt, I had my hand out to grab it and she slammed it on the table. I initially left her a $10 tip on a $40 bill. Because I felt bad and she seemed busy and was doing the best. She could, but after she did that, I took that 10 dollar tip and put it back in my wallet where it belongs. You need to earn a tip correct. By the way, u service people and this service just sucked. Also food had a weird stale taste. Maybe I came on a bad day but I don't think I will be back to find out. read more

One of the nicest looking Denny's around. Fully remodeled and very inviting. Party lights and lounge chairs up front set the fun, positive mood. Fully remodeled and clean. Wow the Chabot college students across the street are in luck. They can choose between this place or the Blackbear diner practically next door. How convenient to jump across the street for a lunch beak for something decent. Fresh and crisp. Fully remodeled from top to bottom. It could possibly be a new build from the ground up - I'm not familiar with what this could have been before if anything. Party lights over green turf and lounge chairs. If you have little kids or goofy friends they will enjoy hanging up front for a bit. Some people might not think of Denny's for their good food... but I like it. Tends to be fresh and brought out quickly by diligent young energetic servers. This location is no different. Prices are better than elsewhere and who doesn't like a good value. Sometimes I think of a sad holiday movie where two people are eating at a Denny's on Chritmas. Was it that movie Bad Santa? But I'd like to point out that its incredible that you can count on Denny's to be open on most holidays so that we can have this option. Sometimes sweating over the stove is a bit overrated - I personally would look forward to coming here to celebrate any holiday. If I had to have one criticism I'd have to say the only thing I could complain about is its too clean... yeah thats right. I remember smelling some cleaning chemicals as I waited near the bathrooms - likely coming from there - usually when I walk into a Dennys the first thing I smell is food :) read more

The hubby and I came in late for pancakes and coffee. Since it's a new facility, the decor is pretty awesome. We were not sure who are server was at first, but after about 15 minutes we were helped. We ordered then waiting for another 20 minutes. When the pancakes finally arrived, we had to tell the server we needed syrup, extra napkins, and coffee refills. They were tasty, but after having our fill, we waiting another 20 minutes for our check. No one came so we just got up and paid at the front. Fortunately, the person at the register knew our order. Despite having good pancakes, the service was not good or should I say absent. read more

Denny's - Chocolate chip and banana pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

Service is poor. Food comes out undercooked and greasy. A silver fish (bug) climbed across our table. Servers are not knowledgable of the menu or trained in being a server. After giving this location several opportunities for change, they've completely missed the mark each time. I wasn't a big fan of Denny's to begin with, but was hopeful that this would be a great location because it's brand new and competing with Black Bear. Unfortunately, both places suck and we won't return to either. read more

Denny's - Social stars - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hayward, California

My wife and I had lunch here on 9/30. We have been married for 16 years now (yes, an anniversary meal at Denny's is as romantic as it gets). This location opened exactly 5 weeks ago. It replaced Celia's Mexican Restaurant (my wife was a fan, but I never got to eat there). The parking lot could be bigger, and my wife had to be careful not to run two goofballs over when we arrived (they were seated at the other end of the room, but the older man was so loud that it was easy to hear him). We were promptly seated (we were even asked if the particular booth that we were brought to was okay). Then, after we ordered, all of our food was brought to us within 4 minutes. There are 3 rooms, but the restaurant is still on the small side (we were in the main room, which seats about 50). It was bright inside because the blinds were all up (Celia's was dark inside because the blinds were constantly down). The restrooms are right by the entrance. Our server was friendly and quick, but she didn't hear me when I ordered my meal (I wanted ham, but I received 2 orders of sausage crumbles). We also received our bill too soon (she did the same thing with another table). Telling us that there was no hurry didn't make me feel better about it (I thought that her shift had ended, but that was not the case- my wife left a solid tip). A young man helped me when I paid at the front. He was very polite and thorough. Note: All prices include tax. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=9Nrqt_Qhnx3gd0HkiC6xKg: 22 oz. soft drinks are $3.98. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=dvHW0M_DOWEYWEXffasApA: Build Your Own Sampler ($13.50): 7/10. They tasted fine, but the onion rings and mozzarella cheese sticks could have been cooked a little longer. In general, I got the sense that our food was rushed out. Our chicken tenders were soft and tasty, but when you build your own sampler, you're only going to receive 2. Smaller bowls could be used. We could have drenched our bodies in the sauces that were left over (ranch; marinara; bbq). Loaded Veggie Omelette ($14.94): 8/10. "Three-egg omelette with fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, fire-roasted bell peppers & onions, tomatoes and Swiss cheese. Served with hash browns and choice of bread." My wife received a good amount of food, and she was pleased with it. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dennys-hayward-2?select=QAXPMega3B1rc-S_3AbjkQ: Build Your Own Omelette ($16.49): 8/10. The hash browns were too crunchy, but not bad. My English muffin was kind of average, and it was weird that I had to ask for butter (so did someone else). My wife's toast was buttered already. My omelette was great (the chorizo sausage dominated, but I enjoyed the spicy kick that it provided), but I was annoyed at the mistake (small tablets are used, and it's possible that the server just pressed the wrong thing when I asked for ham). The sausage crumbles were good, and the omelette was only somewhat greasy despite all the meat that it had. The eggs and Swiss cheese were like background singers, but they stood out enough. Our total was $52.88. The food is too pricy here, but my wife and I still had a nice experience overall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEgyZEP52hM&ab_channel=FannyDekeyzer-Topic read more

Alex was a great server!!! It was my daughter's birthday and he brought out the crew to sing to her and made her feel special!!

This is my third review of this Denny's! We live nearby so it is convenient and with my 15% Chabot student discount-and their senior menu-it is super affordable. The five stars this time are for the service-Alejandro M was our server and he was terrific. Thank you Alejandro. Our order came so quickly we were shocked. BUT...I ordered a waffle...and THAT was a mistake. This is a plea to Denny's management at this location and across the country. PLEASE take waffles OFF YOUR MENU unless they can be made fresh. This "waffle" was clearly frozen and either cooked in a microwave or a toaster. It was absolutely inedible. I mentioned this to staff and they said yes, the waffles....are not the best. Stick to what you do well, Denny's and don't have WAFFLES on your menu unless they can be cooked in a waffle iron! I had been craving a fresh waffle for a while, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This was literally like a piece of tough cardboard so it was really disappointing. It was flat out embarrassing to have something like that put on a plate. I should have sent it back but didn't want to bother our waiter with it who was already super busy and doing an amazing job even though there were only two servers working the entire restaurant. My husband shared his French toast with me so I didn't go hungry. One other message to management; please find a way to clean out the coffee carafes if you are going to serve hot tea in them. The coffee flavor/odor lingers in them and ruins the tea. Other better option; have SEPARATE CARAFES for tea and coffee please! read more

Yarely's service is amazing definitely ask for her she'll take care of you ! Food is bombbb

New Hayward Dennys across the street from Chabot College opened today. Very nice location with lots of local Hayward flair and pictures from the area. The restaurant is clean and fresh really nice to have a 24 hour restaurant in the area. Takes me back to my childhood from going to Dennys as a kid and late night as a teenager. Stop in and get some grub anytime because "Dennys is always open." read more

I decided to order food since I had a 3 hour commute home. Placed an order for Moons over my hammy with fries, a side of ranch and ketchup. Maybe 20 minutes into my drive, I decided to eat. This is when I discovered I did NOT get moons over my hammy. Instead I got an over cooked egg and not scrambled eggs, no cheese, but it's suppose to come with cheese, no ham, but instead got these small pieces of burnt meat of some sort, no ranch or ketchup, but got thousands islands. Like what the hell did they do to my food? I was so pissed!! Called twice and no answer. Called again and a girl answered but it was too loud to even explain what happened. I want my $20 refund ASAP!' read more

I don't plan to be back to this Denny's read more

A few months ago, I asked for hot water during my meal. I noticed that the Hot water tasted like pool water. I mentioned this to my server. I asked him to try the. Hot water for himself. I doubt seriously if he ever took me up on this. This is why I am not motivated to come back to Dennys. My simple request is to use "Filtered water" for your hot water. Water should not have a taste. My cell is 510 427 2034 if Dennys is seriously about listening to a customers concern. read more

Cynthia - very amazing server - outgoing and a light to serving. Had a great time with a party of 8. Will definitely come back

Inosencia was a great server who served us fresh coffee and excellent meals. This Dennys is highly recommended.

The Hayward Denny's across from Chabot College has a nice ambiance. The greeters are welcoming and accommodating. LUZ is an especially good server. I ask for her whenever possible. The senior salmon entree is tasty, nutritious, and a good value$$. The vegetables were deliciously grilled. I avoid sugar, so I can't comment on the dessert menu. Don't wait as long as I did to visit this Denny's site. read more
