The customer service here was amazing. food was fresh and delicious and very nice waitresses! I do recommend visiting this Denny's!

My husband and I came in just as the restaurant was about to close, and our receipt said "Chrissy" -- I wish I had asked her name directly! She had such amazing customer service and made us feel so welcome, even though we came in late after a long day of traveling. We truly appreciated her kindness and patience. She absolutely deserves recognition (and a raise!) for her wonderful attitude and hospitality. :) read more

I was traveling on Interstate 5 near Lodi, CA and Thornton Rd. "Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again!" Ok, not really stuck... just wanted to make that Creedence Clearwater Revival song reference. Me and my traveling companions stopped on onto the Flying J truck stop for a potty break.We spied the Dennys inside the adjoining building. We were in the mood for a sit down meal before we hit the road again. So we popped on into this Denny's. The place was clean and modern. The decor, lighting fixtures, and wall decorations were all pretty new looking. It was the prettiest looking Denny's I have seen in awhile and I just dined in one a few weeks ago. They had booth, table, or counter seating options. I got the $8.99 endless breakfast special. It was not on the menu, I just saw it on the Yelp app and asked our server. So a pro tip, check out the Yelp app or Dennys website for additional meal discounts & specials. This special had scrambled eggs, pancakes, and hash browns. Each serving is 2 eggs and 2 pancakes with hash browns. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. Golden brown. Buttery goodness with a mesmerizing vanilla scent . Mmmm. The hash browns were grilled with a slight crisp to it. Yum. The coffee was ok. Hey it's a Dennys... you're not getting single origin here. It runs around $3.60 and it's bottomless. Our waitress made sure of that. I never saw the bottom of my mug. She was awesome! Darn I forgot her name. If there was an Olympics for waitressing, she would have medaled. Even though my order was endless, I only ordered one. I normally would have ordered another, I know ya all probably thinking... another!? LOL. But my traveling companions gave me the cross eye. Our waitress said the kitchen was understaffed and warned us after we ordered that the food may take awhile to come out. I appreciated that she warned us and gave us the opportunity to bail right then and there. I noticed some tables took her up on that. We took our chances and stayed. Surprisingly it didn't take long at all. read more

We came in here at about midnight on a Friday evening. There was one server and one cook. Ofcourse everyone else also wanted Denny's at the same time so there was a bit of a wait. The server did the best she could and really did an excellent job for how much work she had. She was also bussing and cleaning all of the tables. We ordered two nachos, one Oreo shake, and one strawberry pancake puppy. All of the food was fresh and delicious. The nachos and pancake puppies were the perfect temperature. Although the service was a bit rough I rated them 4 stars because it wasn't the servers fault and honestly the world is just understaffed right now. We would come back here without hesitation. read more

Food was good on this visit, but I was off-put by the fact that it's 6 pm on a Sunday, and the waitress wants to claim that they "ran out" of soup. I happen to know that they use a kit for the soup. Not likely they ran out, more likely the servers just don't want the extra hassle of serving more than one course. Disappointing. The menu says soup is available from 11am to 11 pm. Management should be aware of this: This never seems to happen when Liz is on. Other servers need to step up their game. read more

I drive thru here twice a month and this is one dennys that I will give a 5 star, food is always nice and warm service with Cristina was great, restaurants are thinning out with these fast food chains & Professional OTR Trucker's are on the lookout for restaurants with good food and Service, try this one out, read more

It was extremely busy and they only had two servers. But Julie stepped up while working the counter and came over and seated us. Then she assisted In making sure our food was served and our drinks were refilled. Julie had a positive attitude and gave us service with a smile. Christina was our server and made our dining experience great. The menu gave us a huge selection to choose from. The restaurant was clean and inviting and the food was delicious. Try the crepes with fresh strawberries. Yummy. Dennys is fortunate to have these two women as employees!! read more

By far my favourite Denny's in the area! Always clean, great food, friendly staff, and Karyn is the best!

It's hard to eat food when they are playing antiAmerican garbage from CNN the most hated propaganda network on thier TV's in the background... SCRATCH THAT! As the waitress pointed out there are two TV side by side each several feet apart, one playing FOX News and the other playing Americas most corrupt incompetent netowrk CNN... At first I was pissed and thinking about leaving for Arby's. Yuk! But after seeing the inginious and commical effort this Denys is making to remain or at least apper to remain nutral I started to laugh. It was as if they were saying wait, we just want to make you breakfast lunch and dinner! Ok, I'll have the a coffee, the scrambled eggs, butter milk biscuits and a doulde die of well done hash browns thank you.. Food was good, service was great. Thank you. Make serving good food and being treated with respect by corporations in American Great Again... MAGA.... read more

Parked near front door. Greeted right away; then seated. Erica B. was our waitress and she hustled and did a great job, plus the food was "Denny's good!" :-) Give that gal a raise! Good job to all your friendly staff! read more

Hit and miss at this place. Today was horrible. If you want to get sick. This is your place. I guess what do you expect from Dennys. Rotten salad and odd colored cucumbers. Told the waitress and her reply was I could get you more? Bring Imodium A.D. read more

After visiting this Denny's it is safe to say we will not be returning. Even if I'm starving to death I would rather go into the flying saying and purchase a bag of chips then sit down to a meal at this place. Due to covid 19, all businesses, especially restaurants, are required to sanitize after each customer. I watch them "sanitize" my table. They didn't bother with the seats. Go figure. She then picked up the things that were on the table prior to sanitizing and just place them back down. After sitting down she brought over utensils with napkins wrapped around them. I think up the utensils because the table was still wet from whatever they used to wipe it with. Looking at the napkin there was a disgusting looking yellow film. The you attach to this you will show you what they were using God only knows what it was. It was sticky and smelled bad. The rag been used on many tables without being cleaned or changed. When I brought this to her attention and asked for different utensils because the napkins were covered in yellow film, she grabbed the utensils, rolled her eyes and walked away. She came back with new utensils and tossed them on the table, yes... tossed. The food was standard Denny's food, however 5 onion rings... come on people. Unfortunately the waitresses were too busy talking about their shift, their feet and what was on her toes... gross! Not to mention their personal lives to really take care of the consumer. I don't need to hear your man troubles "Karen". So again, no thank you... not returning. read more

I pulled off I-5 to eat at Country Market, but found Denny's here instead. The hostess, Linda, informed us that Denny's took over two years ago. This seems to have been a blessing as Its predecessor wasn't making the grade. Linda was very friendly, energetic and seemed genuinely happy to be working here. You could sense the pride in her upbeat attitude. Amy was our server. She was helpful, happy and friendly. I couldn't help but notice the lisp in her voice, but then noticed that it was probably due to her pierced tongue. We ordered the Super Bird and the Grand Slam Slugger. When I was just a wee lad, I remember ordering the Super Bird all the time. We ordered it today for nostalgic reasons, only to be disappointed by the soggy bottom pieces of bread. I didn't remember it like that. My SLAM was ordinary probably because it was on the Value menu. The portions were smallish and I would most likely order two in the future to satisfy my tummy. Good thing I had that soggy Super Bird as backup. Overall the experience was 3-Star due to the staff. read more

went in to this location at exactly 11:21 PM On Tuesday Sep. 2 2024 and was greeted with hi I can do a quick to go order if you like I'm closing in just a few !!!!! It's 11:21 PM What damn Dennys AT A BUSY TRUCK STOP NO LESS CLOSES AT 11:20-11:30???? not only was this stop a total waste of time I have stopped here in the past only to have them closed at 1AM, this location is a total JOKE, I don't know how the Franchise of this location gets away with this crap, it also hurts Flying J truck stop as well because I'll never stop here again !! read more

Location Location Location Food is average to above average. Great spot to take a break off Hwy 5. We're full time RVers from Oregon and always stop here to fuel the truck and our stomachs. The skillets are always very good. Some of the tables have plugs to charge your phones and electronics read more

I love coming to this place but why DONT they ever have CELERY with my wings and I still have to pay the full price why?

This location is extremely slow so prepare your mind. It's clean and located at Flying J truck stop. They likely need more staff. Yesterday I was eating at the subway and they closed the restaurant because the cook was on break. The staff is extremely friendly and they do apologize for being slow. They will acknowledge you. Food is great. read more

This is by far the beat Denny's I have ever eaten at! Everything comes out perfectly. I enjoy all the choices and fresh delicious food! So good! I enjoy the grand slamwhich, and you can choose hash browns, potatoes or even French fries for your sides! The build your own grand slam is really good too! So many different choices, you are sure to get the perfect breakfast combination! The spaghetti & meatballs is also really good. And the steak! Believe it or not.. perfectly cooked! Comes with a ton of sides and a great price! You won't be disappointed! Don't let the "truck stop" stop you! It's by far my favorite Denny's! read more

I don't know what's up with the quality of their food. It used to be good, but I haven't been liking it at all lately!!! The chicken avocado sandwich I ordered wasn't that good. It lacked the avocado slices that would've made it good. See the picture I took! read more

My go to place for breakfast on the road, Denny's can be hit and miss. I like chain restaurants for certain meals. Especially breakfast. It's just too early to be hunting through the menu at an unfamiliar place. My server today was Natasha. She was attentive without being annoying, friendly without being familiar. Exactly the way a professional should act. My order was correct as ordered and my coffee was never empty. I had the veggie omelet with fruit and English muffin. I always ask for the eggs to be cooked lightly, and they got it perfect. The veggie filling was hot and plentiful, the fruit was cold and fresh and the English muffin was just crunchy enough. Overall a good breakfast experience to start the day off well. read more

Stopped here for a late dinner recently. I had the Baja Quesadilla Burger..the menu says it comes with tortilla chips but the server offered me fries or onion rings so I had fries. It had avocado, shredded cheese, lettuce and pico de gallo and creamy pepper sauce..and served in a flour tortilla. This was only 6 dollars and was actually quite good. My husband had the French Toast Breakfast on the 6 dollar value menu and he ate every bite. The server was excellent and refilled our drinks without prompting. This location is spacious and clean. I don't expect gourmet food at Denny's.. But this was very acceptable for a reasonably tasty meal and service was above average. read more

Food was good, but even better the whole Dennys staff was amazing!!!! the manager Sara was busting her butt helping her staff and our waitress Karyn S was absolutely amazing!!!! This is one of the best Denny's We have been to in years!!! The hard work and efficiency they displayed, and they're worth ethic was second to none!!! read more

Oh Denny's, what happened to your homey feel and good breakfast? Our experience at other Denny's locations were always subpar but this location is by far the worst. Upon entering we were somewhat greeted by a woman counting cash by the register. We awkwardly stood there for about 5 minutes waiting to be seated. I would have been fine seating ourselves but oh well. That should have been our warning sign because everything went downhill after. 1. We were seated on a dirty table. We moved booths after realizing this. 2. Utensils and napkins were dirty. I had to grab another utensil at a different table. 3. My S/O ordered the grandslamwich and our waitress dropped a piece of bread. No biggie, she offered to replace the sliced bread... Until she came back with a whole piece with a ham just slapped on there. Lazy much? 4. S/O received the wrong order. He asked to get fries instead of hash browns. After she repeated our order twice, I figured there was an understanding that our order will come out right. Wrong! He still got hash browns. We didn't bother telling the lady since we wanted to just get out of there. Seriously, keep your money and don't bother stopping there. read more

When I'm traveling I always end up at a Denny's. Not sure why. It makes me feel like I'm at home. Endless coffee and diner ambiance. Duh. Anyway, this one in Lodi is built into a truck stop. I don't think I've ever had nicer wait staff. From the hostess to the server to the busser - so very nice. Splurged and had the cinnamon pancake and ermegherd amazing. Delicious. Couldn't finish them. It was like breakfast and dessert at 9:30pm. Felt bad for my server: it was just her and she had about 5 people at the bar and 7 tables plus me. Probably why the wait time to get my coffee refilled was a little long. Ehh that's okay. read more

2.5 stars Ordered to go & when I got there the order was ready as stated in email. Left & had to go back in because they forgot my hot chocolate. I explained to the girl I forgot I ordered hot chocolate & if I could get it. With an attitude she went to make the hot chocolate with her back turned away from me. After assuming she was finished and was going to place the lid on it. She takes my cup into the back of the kitchen. Um I'm sorry but this is sketchy af. Honestly I didnt even wanna drink it. $3 down the drain. I was polite and I even apologized stating I forgot I ordered hot chocolate, but to receive attitude for no reason is uncalled for and unprofessional. read more
