    Diner style interior
    Terry C.

    This Denny's is located just off I-5 at the CA-46, Lost Hills exit. The interior is bright, clean and inviting. It appears to be recently remodeled. There are 20 Tesla EV chargers available directly in front of, and on the side of the restaurant. Our Super Bird sandwich was well constructed and grilled to perfection. We chose the onion rings upgrade for a nominal charge, and they were excellent as well; there was no greasiness, yet the onion rings were crispy. Opting for a breakfast at lunchtime, we also chose their $6 Everyday Value Slam (choice of two buttermilk pancakes, two slices of Brioche French Toast or a biscuit & gravy -- served with 2 eggs, plus bacon strips or sausage links) off their $2-4-6-8 Value Menu. Everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. This was one of the nicer, well-cared-for Denny's we have been to.

    I mean it's Denny's, classic breakfast place to go to. The service was good. Typical Denny's setting. The restaurant was clean, except for the restroom - It could use some extra love there. The gravy from the biscuit didn't agree with my stomach and probably wouldn't get it again. The parking lot is shared with Tesla chargers. So while people are charging their cars, they're probably blowing up the restroom. Which is why their restroom is nasty.

    I love this Denny's because of it's location. When driving to the beach we can stop here before we get on the 46. It breaks up the trip and gives us a delicious break. The food is great and the service is friendly.

    We stopped here twice now as it has a Tesla charger right outside. It's convenient to dine in while the car is getting charged. A strong wave of stale musty odor hits you as soon as you walk in through the doors, you will eventually get used to it but it's uncomfortable. They need to air out the space a bit more. Food can get very heavy due to excess usage of butter and cheese. They can try to lighten it up a bit more. My veggie omlette came with a piece of bacon this time. They assured me it might be a one off case of cross contamination.

    I was on my way to Salinas and I stopped here for breakfast. The server/hostess greeted me warmly and I ordered my breakfast. It was basic, but the eggs were scrambled with cheese. The restaurant was clean and everyone was attentive and professional. I read the one star comments while I was waiting for my meal. I'm not gonna lie, I got scared. My experience was top tier, highly recommend. Note: the server will bring your check, but you go and pay at the counter. The bathroom could have used a little TLC, but it had all the things you needed. It was fine.

    Still Denny's, but the best 9-grain pancakes EVER!!! These things were tasty. We had pulled over to charge on the Tesla Supercharger out front. BTW, I'm not a big fan of EVs just yet; however, given the opportunity to test drive one instead of renting a gas burner, I jumped on it because we are currently searching for our next ride. Just about the time we had finished sharing our Hearty 9-Grain Pancake Slam, our car was charged up for the next short-ranged Tesla leg. Now you know one reason why I'm not yet a fan of electric vehicles (EV). Dennys is still Denny's. Works when you need it to. This time I needed it because it was next to an unpredictable (problem #2 with EVs) Tesla Supercharger location used throughout this 1000 mile trip. Dicks

    I used to live nearby, back in the early 80's. Not sure I ever dined here though. I learned the…read moreresort is a more casual version of the higher end restaurant. I was seated in the bar area (no choice offered), which was odd as this was mid-week and the place was far from crowded. I was attended quickly and placed an order for a Tanqueray martini. It arrived well mixed. I decided on a porterhouse after confirming with my waiter that the filet would not resemble a t-bone, but be a full filet as a porterhouse should. The steak was cooked properly, salad and sides fresh and delicious. I took off a star because my waiter gave up on me. He had checked in several times (I eat really slow these days and it was a lot of food) and the last time offered to bring me a box. I was ready to order dessert, but after a full ten minutes of an invisible waiter, I went to the hostess and offered to pay. She said she would send my waiter to my table. So, back to my table I went and waited some more. By the time he arrived, I was very unhappy. I had planned on coffee and dessert. But ended up going to the gas station next door and picking up some canned espresso and cream. Walking to my car, was an olfactory assault. If you've ever driven past Harris Ranch and the miles of cows standing under the shade structures in their own feces, you have a mild sense of what I experienced. But this was so much worse. My eyes began to water as I imagined I was walking through the feed lots. The stench of urine and cow crap was obnoxious. Some way to end an otherwise good meal. Between the service and the outdoor aroma, I doubt I'll return.

We had read that they accommodated a lot of RVs and people with U-Haul's, etc., so felt safe staying there for the night. Checked in about 9 PM. Everybody was super helpful. We have our cats with us so we were a little stressed out about how it was going to be, but they made sure that we were comfortable and we were in a really nice, large and clean room. I did think that the property is a little bit dated. They've done a good job with upkeep. The only issue I really had was that when I got out of my car there was a very strong animal smell. I asked at the front desk with that smell was, and they said that it was fertilizer that they applied to the fields that night. It was intense. We got up and we're back on the road by 5 AM. Unfortunately we did not get to try the restaurant although I heard that their steakhouse is excellent. Also, the pool looked really beautiful and clean.

Service was excellent-the waitresses were very friendly and kept the coffee coming. The diner was packed with a small line out the door, so I recommend arriving early if you want to be seated promptly. Overall, an excellent experience with fair pricing.

I honestly can't believe it took a horrible experience at a new establishment to finally bring me here. Customer service is a 10/10 Coffee is a 10/10 Cobbler is a 10/10 but I will say I enjoyed the blackberry cobbler so much more. My baby had the Chicken and Waffle 10/10. The waffle has a similar taste to a fresh waffle cone, so you don't need so much syrup. Double bacon cheese burger with veggies on the side was ordered by my teenager and I must say this is one of the BEST BURGERS BAKERSFIELD HAS TO OFFER! The fries were seasoned perfectly and the meat tasted so fresh, plus the bacon was cooked to perfection 10/10. My big boy ordered the hot links, eggs with county potatoes 10/10 We ordered over medium and they did not disappoint. We arrived a bit late because the biscuits were sold out, so he got some french toast instead 8/10. I ordered the county fried steak which I was amazed on how delicious it was and the gravy was great 10/10 I also received country potatoes and eggs 10/10. Bakersfield has resturants that offer country potatoes but unfortunately most places fall short, this place is on point with their seasoning. As you can tell by the pictures my kids left happy and full. This place is so welcoming and the interior is cute, plus their restrooms are super clean. I am such a foodie and I identify as a bigback lol So I will be making this my new go to place, because there is so much more I want to try and they didn't fail my taste buds.

I was tired of fast food on our road trip and wanted something more real. We stopped here to check it out and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted within 30 seconds even though the 3 servers on the floor were VERY busy, they got back with us within a minute, sat us, and immediately got a drink order. When they came back they asked if we were ready to order. We were in a hurry, so when the Server came back to quality check our food we ordered dessert to go and asked for the check so we could get back on the road as we were eager to get home. We were so impressed with our service and honestly, the delicious diner food, that we planned to stop here again on our way home from our yearly trip this year. We had a different server this year, but everything about the experience was identical. Wonderful, tasty, timely, kind... Thank you, Willow Ranch staff, we will certainly make you part of our plan every year! I also wanted to note that I am a career server and the details matter to me. It is so amazing when someone like myself can receive the kind of service that I am proud to give when I'm working. I also witnessed the front of house staff engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen staff and I just love that. I am also close with the team on our line and I think that makes a huge difference in the overall performance of the restaurant.
