We were on our way to Disneyland and as we always do on family trips we stopped at a Denny's, this time in Lodi. We were seated quickly and our order was taken and delivered promptly. Our server had a wonderful attitude and asked us frequently if we needed anything else. The food was what you'd expect from Denny's, which is good if it's consistent. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this Denny's when you travel. read more

just got back from eating here. Bottom line for this review is that there was a piece of glass in my food. while eating my blueberry pancakes I felt an unusually hard texture, I thought it was going to be something gross like a fingernail, I spit it out and tapped on it and it was a piece of glass. It looked like a piece from one of the water glasses had chipped off. the server responded appropriately and notified staff. The service was good, despite other reviews and the food up to that point was good. They took the pancakes off the bill, I paid for the hashbrowns which were good. Unfortunately I won't be eating there again, since glass doesn't belong in pancakes. read more

Denny's - Glass found in my pancake, staff thought it must have been from a broken glass in the dishwasher. - American Near Me - Lodi, California

Yesterday, my wife and I had two separate dishes, both of which were unsatisfactory. Her burger was tasteless, and my supposed nachos plate was a disaster. I could go into detail, but why bother? Several years ago, Denny's had markedly improved its fare, but, now, their meals are not worth wasting money upon. The restaurant has lost our business.... read more

So I walked in and this lady gave me the stank eye. Gave me a dirty table to start and I had give her the look of a thousand deaths for her to finally come get my order. Good looks good though. read more

I had stopped eating here a while back. I figured things may have changed by now. I bought a burger last week there is no mayonnaise and no ketchup so when I got back to my office I had a plain burger and nothing for my fries. The burger was good. I told my co-worker we decided to go today. So I tell the young lady I just want to check and make sure there's ketchup and things and explain to her what happened at my last visit. What they did do was give me two tubs of ranch I did not ask for. So today my coworker said she wanted Ranch. So I asked young lady for some ranch she charged me $0.96 for it. So I told her that's fine... Looks like it'll be a long break again before I go back in there. Getting an attitude is not cool it's reasonable to ask if there's ketchup and mustard and mayonnaise. read more

Server was great! Cook needs to be fired. Was yelling at the server constantly and kept messing up all the order. Belittled her and made her upset. The cook who needs to be fired has a bald spot and weighs atleast 350 pounds. Shame on you. read more

After i got done eating i seen roach very discating. I didnt get my meal for free. Very bad customers services.

Oh no! Ended up at this Denny's again. We waited about 15 minutes, then I realized we were here last year. People need to stop going there. Then maybe they will get there shit together. It's really sad to see Denny's this way. read more

ZERO STARS if it was an option. Every time I've eaten here the food is overly greasy and customer service is hit or miss sometimes good usual bad. But I created a yelp account just so I could leave this review because tonight I tried to do a call in order for pick up and I've spent literally the last 15 minutes trying to get through. I've called from two different phones and it just rings and rings and it after 11:30pm no reason they are so busy they can't answer the phone for nearly 20 minutes straight. Worst Denny's I've ever seen by far! read more

Eating at this Denny's for breakfast was an absolutely amazing decision. We ended up eating a "pick your own grand slam", and it took no more than 5 minutes from walking into Denny's to get our drinks, and no more than another 10 for all of our food. It all had an excellent taste and I was pleasantly surprised to have such a wonderful morning with Denny's. I'll tell you this, monday mornings here at Denny's is perfect. Could not have gone better. read more

They added extra stuff (cheese in eggs, jalapeños, etc) in our meals without asking. No wonder why the bill was so high. So sneaky... Not going there again. read more

Always slow service, rude waitresses. When asking for a refill on a drink or extra napkins I am made to feel like an inconvenience.

Fantastic service and food!Our server, Guadalupe,was fantastic She was gracious and polite;food came within 10 minutes of ordering.We will be back again! read more

This dennys was "cold" and in come cases dirty. No one had swept the floor for awhile could tell with the napkins on the floor and food stuff. We ordered and waited a long time for our food. They were short staffed. The manager , as we watched where the food was coming out, had our food in his hands and was asking our waitress who was too busy for us where the food went she did not know as she strugged her shoulders giving that indication. the manager figured it out and brought the food to us. the place was not busy. It showed little organization, no leadership making the employees accountable. the waitress passed us by not even once asking if we needed anything. read more

I was hoping for a good meal with my friends but it ended up a total disaster. The fries were crinkled and soggy, dripping with some watery liquid. We ordered a cake batter milkshake and I was the worst I've ever had, it was literally a vanilla shake with a million sprinkles that u had to chew and choke on with every sip, it was truly gross. But worse than the food is the prices, everything is so overpriced and not worth it. Never ordering there again. read more

amazing food and service. they really know how to cook pancakes. super kind and family oriented. 10/19 am coming back

Food was cooked very well compared to other days where it was very soggy, good job to the chef today. Service was alright

This place is disgusting. The food is gross, service is horrible, the menu is boring, the bath rooms are dirty, booths are uncomfortable. The list goes on if I could give negative stars I would like -10 dont waste your money, fast food taste better then the crap that comes out of here! read more

manuel is dope.... as fuck!!!!! (he's the manager) The pancakes are so fire. I hold the world record of most pancakes eaten in one sitting. I like to come here on Friday and Saturday nights to play Yu-Gi-Oh with my fellow band mates. We host Pokémon tournaments on Sundays after we praise the Lord. People are known to bring bamboo sticks as a self defense weapon. read more

Came here on Veterans Day. The Hispanic manager was extremely rude and tried to charge me for water. I understand that a lot a Veterans come here for the free complimentary meal but for you to try and nickel and dime us for something like water is just ridiculous. It's just water!! read more

I went there for breakfast with my baby daughter last week and I really did not have a good experience. I understand that I'm choosing to eat at Denny's, not a five star restaurant. But still, I hope for decent service in a clean place. The staff should take some pride in their work, even if it is 'just a Denny's'. The servers were slow and rude. They also kept saying "someone will be right with you" while I watched them take care of other tables that had been seated after us. We were sat at a dirty table (food on it from previous guests), in a dirty section (the floor and tables around us were horrible), and given a really dirty high chair for my daughter to sit in. When I asked for a cleaner high chair, the server took the dirty one in the back, and brought out one just as dirty (in fact, I have suspicion it was the same exact one). I should have just left then, but we were starving and my arms were turning to jelly after holding my daughter, purse, and baby bag for so long while waiting for a 'clean' high chair. So I just set my daughter in it and finally sat down. After waiting for what felt like forever we were finally getting our order taken. It took a very long time for my food to come out (at least 20-25 mins) and I was never even offered a refill on my coffee, I had to wave them down and ask for it after getting tired of staring at an empty cup. It wasn't very busy, so there's no explanation for the wait. I will say, I asked to make substitutions to my order, and the food came out perfectly. Just like I ordered it and it did taste good. So that's why I decided to give this review 2 stars instead of just 1. We will NOT be going back to this location. I would much rather go to the IHOP or Coco's down the street. read more

See all

We come here for there appetizers and the lady said they were out of onion rings. So we get quesadillas instead, they bring us two tiny chicken strips that look like nuggets and 4 pieces of quesadilla with hardly any cheese its pretty much just tortilla. A HUGE rip off! They asked us what dressing we would like(which is weird we would always just get all three), i know IHOP gives you all three (ranch/marinera/bbq) so i guess they are being very cheap! We ask for vanilla creamer and guess what, no vanilla just regular. They have a nasty pealed off sticker full of germs in the middle of the table. Should be reported for how unsanitary that is! Stay away from here its a HUGE mess. I feel bad for folks just getting off the 99. Ill be putting a review on google too! read more

We wanted to try a blast from the past so my wife and I picked Denny's. The place looked old and worn from the outside. Inside the restaurant was clean and newer looking. I ordered my standby the "Super Bird". It was exactly like I remembered. We also ordered the nachos for an appetizer. To our surprise, it was really good. My wife ordered a breakfast sandwich and really enjoyed it. The service was outstanding and the Manager even came to our table to check if everything was ok. read more

We went to grab a bite to eat after a long drive home. It was late (12:30 am) and the only place open to sit down, have a meal and enjoy a conversation. When we ordered our food the staff was quick to take our order but they were extremely loud, they would yell back and forth with each other and a few people eating there that they knew. It really wasn't busy and no need to be so loud. We really didn't need to know all about the waitress and and her friends business. Once we got the food we hoped to just hurry up eat and leave. We ordered 2 hamburgers, the buns and meat fell apart with just a bite. I didn't expect to have to eat a burger with a fork. Once we were eating the staff began shampooing the carpets close to where we were eating. We gave up on even being able to talk to each other. I asked for the bill and we left. Thanks for disappointing us Denny's. read more

Was seated and not offered a drink until another table was seated 5 min. AFTER us, then the waitress got snotty with us. Very unprofessional service, and won't go there again! STAY AWAY!!! read more

I know Denny's is not a GREAT place to dine. It's usually for those late night, after party places but I really wanted French fries and ranch. I have to say...I love the fries but they charge now for RANCH!! BOO on them. Also if all I'm going to drink is water, they should consider giving me a bigger glass and not the tiny small one. read more

Good friendly and quick food service. The bacon was cooked to my liking and it was a great meal all around.

Wow, the waitress was rude, the chicken fried steak was cold and hard as a rocks, came here with hubby and my brother and we had to get a refund it was so horrible, will never come back here the food also made us sick later. Not gonna take that risk again, it was traumatizing! read more

This is honestly such a slow location. Waited almost 45 mins with very few guests for a burger and some French toast. Didn't get checked on and when asked for ranch took way too long although I did get a lot which made up for it. read more

Not well organized. Waited a few minutes. Staff very friendly. Food mediocre: double cheeseburger and sandwiches

The last time I ate here, it took a lil over 45 mins to get seated, coffee cup was dirty, and my plate had a piece of bacon on it. The dish I ordered was chicken and fries. It's highly against my religion to have pork of any kind, I didn't make a big deal, they were kind enough to make me a new one. If someone was allergic to pork, this would've been a massive problem. read more

It's Denny's. It's not bad for a Denny's, but it's a Denny's. Food is OK, service is decent, prices are fairly reasonable. It is always fairly clean. read more

Consistent, good food, good service! If you want good breakfast in Lodi, this is the best option by far for the price and for the quality. Many businesses in town just can't seem to either serve food the same or provide good customer service, but Denny's always does it right! read more

Worst service ever, Got soup to eat before my meal they didn't give me my soup till I asked again for it, also I was waiting for 20 minutes for someone to refill my cup of coffee. Also they lied to my face about my meal being fresh. I saw the cook put it in the microwave. Don't come here go to the one in Galt. read more

They gave me under cooked steak not once but twice and also they have questionable veggies in the omelette. Time for a new chef. I won't be returning :-) read more

So far, so good. Of course, I shy away from shoddy management in the daytime (check it out for yourself). Daytime servers are not on par with the fabulous evening and nighttime crew...it's a demeanor thing. Night staff and management - excellent no matter what - busy or not. Team players indeed. Servers know their menu! Only complaints I have about this place are the fingerprinted windows and doors (only takes 5 minutes in total to clean if one pays attention), the occasional riff-raff outside (uncontrollable, really), and being seated next to children (always an uncomfortable, noisy, barbaric situation)...although servers are more than willing to work with you on that dreaded issue. We eat here at least twice a month. Don't care to waste hard earned money on alternative 'lousy' eateries. read more

It looked like the restaurant was older but it was clean, food was good and plentiful, and waitress and manager were friendly and helpful.

Hard to relax with all the noise. It's a Denny's, and the food is what you know to expect from Denny's. But they clang a lot of pots and plates in the kitchen, then they try to cover the noise up by playing music. They should turn off the music and figure out how to cut down on the clanging. read more

Came here with some of my coworkers and we got seated quick. I ordered chicken fried steak which was over cooked, or maybe they need to change their oil. The service was okay. read more

My husband and I ate here on 6/18, the meal was fine however, the manager Manuel was horrible to the staff and very rude. He was with the cooks going over orders and was very upset about a take out order. so upset that he kept ringing the bell until she finally came forward. When he found the employee who took the order he was rude, condensending to her and loud enough that the whole restaurant heard. I told her he was very rude and unprofessional. She told me he was the manager and is always like that. When we paid our bill, another female employee told he they have made several complaints about him and nothing gets done. This is wrong and it's employee harassment. I would think a company as big as Denny's would not allow his behavior to continue. It ruined my meal and now makes me not want to eat there again because of Manuel. The lady at the counter gave me a number to call for the compliant. read more
