Recently visited again and dined in. I was very happy with the service we received. Bryan at the front, Samantha our server, and Izzy the manager were all great. They all were very friendly, welcoming, and a true pleasure to be helped by. Great job to the team here. As a result I am updating the review. read more

Came here with a group of people for dinner. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived at 6:00. We ordered a burger and fries and a salmon with broccoli. Everyone in the group was served their meals and we kept waiting and waiting for ours. At last about 15 minutes later our food finally came out. The salmon was inedible as it was overcooked and dry. I could not eat it! Okay okay ...you are probably asking why would anyone order seafood at Denny's?!?!? You're probably right but I was trying to eat healthy. I think Dennys may be better suited for breakfast because I figure how can you go wrong with pancakes and waffles?? read more

We were craving for pancakes this late afternoon so decided to do breakfast for dinner at Denny's. We haven't been to Denny's for 100 years. :) Since I didn't want a lot of foods, I ordered the pancakes with 2 eggs and sausage. The pancakes were fluffy and had a nice chewy texture. I don't usually like sausages but they make them perfectly golden brown and tasted good. Hubby had the bigger meal with pancakes, 2 eggs, sausage, bacon, and hash browns. Everything was yummy. Denny's has gone a long way. The restaurant was clean and fairly large. Service was very good. The two associates were polite and quick to attend, take orders, and checked on us often. Only thing that was incorrect was our eggs. We asked for over medium and we both got over easy instead. But that was still good. read more

First timer at this location! Called in on a Saturday evening to see if they could accommodate our large party and thankfully they were able to within minutes! Lots of parking. Friendly staff. Our server, Kimberly, was SO nice and SO helpful. She made our visit very pleasant. We were all satisfied with our meal. read more

Denny's - I got the New Salted Caramel Banana Pancake Slam. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I went here on thanksgiving morning and got the grand slam. Everything was just okay. I am giving this one star because there were about 15 ants on my table that i killed during my meal. I let the waitress know and she said she was sorry and that they would get the table cleaned up after we were done...probably not going to come back read more

Be cautious with this location! They do not accept rewards or coupons from the Denny's app, which was very disappointing. The food quality is not great -- everything is overly sweet. The waffle was way too sugary, and I don't want to end up with diabetes from just one meal. Not planning to return. read more

This Denny's customer service was spot on the Waiter we had was very friendly and helpful and very professional. Our orders were taken quickly and our wait time was very fast. read more

They are extremely understaffed. The wait is horrible . Even to pay for your meal you have to wait for someone to man the register. Plus they made a mistake on the order gave the correct order, but charged for higher priced different order . Just bad. This is the. Second time w have experienced the poor service. And again it is mostly do to understaffing , otherwise when they do get to you, they are good. read more

coming from work at 3am , I stopped by to buy breakfast at Denny's . I was the only one in the restaurant. The place was clean and there were only 2 employees working . Service was quick eventhough it was soo early and everyone looks tired including myself. Food was great and I had it TO GO. After arriving my place, I devoured the French toasts, eggs,bacons and sausages . French toasts were light and fluffy with light dusting of powdered sugar, bacon were crispy , and the rests were cooked to my liking. It sure hit the spot. Thanks Dennys! read more

Food was great service was amazing and very clean place waiter and server were very friendly. Been coming in for years and everyone I come in makes me feel at home. read more

Aloha All Had a doctor's appointment in the area and decided to stop at Denny's for lunch. I ordered a buffalo wings with 2 ranch dressings and a Lunber Jack Breakfast with 6 carafes of butter. I'll keep you posted once everything gets going, I got here about 11:30am, so see you in a bit As expected, all good delivered at once, Buffalo Wings, dry and over cooked, I would dare to say old even. Tasted exactly how I mentioned and terrible to the test buds. Eggs were okay, substituted ham and bacon for sausage,that was okay, I received my wheat toast and extra butter I requested but no jelly?!! Nor was there an offer for some. I have to say my favorite part of my meal was my pancakes, how pathetic is that. Out of all the things that could have been great! Just my pancakes. The server did his job, he did tell the manager on duty what happened with meal, he did remove the buffalo wings even though I insisted on paying. My meal came to $22. + Change, gave the rest to the server as tip out of $30.00, he could have checked more often, but he didn't cook the food. Don't go here if Denny's is what you're looking for, but, if want to be disappointed, then by all means, have fun, not enjoying your meal. read more

The food is good but keep in mind this location doesn't except The AARP discount like all the other locations do.

This review is purely on service. I can't stand this dennys. I've gone here 5 times and had problems every time. And I don't snap back at them or anything when I'm there. I challenge sometimes because of what other dennys do for me that this one doesn't. So the second time time I went the server wouldn't let me order something off the value menu. I wanted the French toast slam, and to order the extra two French toast for $2 and he said it will be $4.99 this last time I went he said they don't do the value menu, and I was literally in a different dennys the day before and told him, and he said well it's only mornings that I can order off that value menu. I got up and went to the Dennys 5 minutes away. The other three times had them over charging me, and I ask them to correct it and it's like it's a problem. When I eat, I'm super respectful, i keep to myself, throw a headphone in, and when I'm done always tip at least 6 bucks despite my breakfast being between $10 and $18. But I cannot stand when certain servers make their own rules, especially when it's . I spend quite a bit of money at different Dennys, and I never have problems anywhere else the way that I do at this one. I'm also not one to complain on here unless I'm really frustrated. read more

Three of us had breakfast. It was fabulous. The food was hot and fresh tasted great, the service was excellent. Everything was served all at once, and the price was great! Here's a restaurant I haven't been to in 15 years and I'm gonna start coming back. Thank you, Denny's!! read more

Grew up with Denny's being one of those places where we either had breakfast with the family, or late night grub with the friends. Nowadays, I order lunch from Denny's and have it delivered because I can. And is it me, or did their burgers improve? Anyway... THE FOODS | American diner food. I ordered... - Build Your Own Burger | So, mushroom swiss burgers aren't on the menu, so I built my own burger with the following: beef patty, swiss cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, caramelized onions, mayonnaise, and sautéed mushrooms (+$1.49). It's juicy, savory, cheesy, and spicy all at once! They grill the bun in butter to give it a little crunch on the edges while the butter adds more flavor to the burger. Overall, a great burger with a side of wavy cut french fries to complete this dish. Highly recommend! WOULD I COME BACK? | Yes, I enjoy their burgers and fries the most and will keep coming back for that same dish. read more

Denny's - Build Your Own Burger. It's a mushroom swiss burger with jalapeños. Deliciously flavored and spicy. Wavy cut fries are nice and crispy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Always awesome and service is the best been coming here for years with our motorcycle group

Stopped by Denny's and it totally hit the spot! The pancakes were fluffy, the coffee was strong, and everything came out faster than I expected. Our server (Samantha) was upbeat and checked in just the right amount -- not too much, not too little. What I love most is that you can count on Denny's for that classic diner feel no matter what time of day you show up. It's reliable, tasty, and always welcoming. read more

Does not "participate" or "honor" any promotions or coupons including the free birthday breakfast slam.

Went here today for brunch and surprise! They have the breakfast deals back! They used to have 2 4 6 and 8 dollar menu I loved and now They have 10 under $10 menu with 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches on it. I got the super slam breakfast and my hubby got the chorizo omelette. Tasty food! Also great service from Julio and Ivonne. They were attentive and always smiling. i will definitely be back at this location. Awesome employees! read more

They don't participate in the 1 dollar grand slam deal and they don't honor the birthday free meal. Lame and won't come here. Okay, maybe it's a franchise thing but all i can say is the owner who owns this one, el toro and sand canyon all won't honor these deals read more

funny I'm saying this thing about the grand slam buy one get one free and the only thing I seen was 3799 a family deal and then I just called them and like oh no we don't honor that and it's televised on TV. This is the one in Mission Viejo, where I live places a joke. I ate there a few times before the food is horrible. They're horrible. You guys go there enjoy. Go to Molly's whole lot better. read more

For lack of better word, to say I'm disappointed isn't even it. I have been to this Dennys several times through the years as it's local to my residence and have never been impressed. I know, I know so why even try it out again. I'll tell you because I really wasn't in the mood to drive out to another Dennys as I have learned just because they carry the same name they are by no means function or service equally. My go to thick girl treat is the Apple crisp, I have ordered this more than I can count. Again at many different Dennys restaurants ordered for pickup, also dinning in. Today I order 3 apple crisps online for pickup as my girls and I were lounging at my place. Ran over there, ran back home and we couldn't wait to rip open the bag and dig in. I couldn't believe someone actually closed these containers and sent them off as they did. Where's the crisp in these measly apples???! The containers are literally practically empty. I have never seen such a thing. I was so embarrassed, though this was not on me, clearly. I called and spoke with Juan and he was so professional & kind. However, there was nothing he can do as there was no manager on-site at the time and I definitely was not going to drive back. I'll just say, that was definitely the last chance I'll be giving that particular Dennys. It's worth the drive out. read more

It was good service. Saturday around 10:30 I would say. Waiting of about 5 minutes before getting seated. The seats in our booth had food and what looked like water but it was sticky. We asked the host for some napkins or rags, he brought napkins and left. So we cleaned up our own seats. Maggi was our waitress!! She was very friendly, professional, and helpful. She greeted us nicely, and took our orders promptly. Maggi checked up on us regularly. Food was ready quickly and it was good, not great, but it was good. We enjoyed our time in there. Noise level was average. read more

So, I decided to go to Denny's for breakfast, yesterday. I ordered the All-American Slam breakfast. I didn't have any high expectations with this place, after all this is Denny's. I was pleasantly surprised. While the eggs, toast, sausage, and hash browns were tasty, the bacon was overly salty. The customer service was decent, and the place was clean. As I paid for my bill at the cashier, I received service with a smile. After my overall experience at this Denny's location, I will return in the future. 4 solid stars!!! read more

My parents and I love coming to this Denny's location. The service is always fantastic and so friendly. They consistently go above and beyond. Jennifer and Martin especially are so sweet and the best servers. It really makes the experience better and the Denny's nostalgia just hits. The food is always cooked well and tastes hot and fresh. It's kept very clean and we love a little vintage decor. Hands down 10/10 from a long-time Denny's lover! read more

Decided to grab brunch on the way home from an errand and hadn't been to a Denny's in a decade. The inside was clean and the booths were well kept without wear. Post-Covid, nice to see. Rosa was the perfect server, handily taking care of multiple tickets and making it look easy. My guy decided he wasn't feeling well and we had to switch to takeout. Rosa did it quickly, with a smile and once home she'd forgot nothing! So grateful that all the sides and condiments were there so I could quickly serve breakfast in bed. Despite our quick departure, this was a great experience. Additionally, even after another 30 minute ride home, the food was plentiful and delicious! read more

Went to Denny's to have breakfast. I ordered the 55+ omelette,it was A two-egg omelette with sautéed onions, bacon, diced tomatoes and shredded Cheddar cheese. I asked for a side of salsa for my omelette. For myside dish I ordered the hash Browns crispy well done They were cooked perfectly. I selected an English muffin, dry with a side of whipped butter. Served perfectly. The service was exceptional (server Rosalva). This place is definitely on my list, I will email back. read more

There is a reason there was only one table eating breakfast at 8:45 AM on a Friday. Received a free Everyday Value Slam email from Denny's for my birthday, but this location does not take any coupons or offers, even from Denny's corporate. When I asked about the email she confirmed they don't accept Denny's offers... then WHY are you a Denny's? I got up and walked out. How is this Denny's still open with one customer in for breakfast? Previous visits have been mediocre at best. There will be no future visits. read more

Went yesterday on a Sunday morning at 10 AM that probably was our first mistake - it was crowed which was fine- with a bunch of sport group people - I don't mind waiting for a table for good food . Put our name in said wait would be 15 mins for a table for 2 or 20-25 for a booth - waited for a booth due to my back - more comfortable . The review is based on service & food. The server was nice but very busy having multiple tables - asked for extra crispy bacon for both breakfasts- didn't get it - asked for over Med cooked eggs - on one - the whites were runny under cooked - not her fault but did she relate to the cook - EXTRA CRISPY BACON ? Who knows . The toast was burnt black on one order - my scrambled eggs were cold - did we say anything to her - no she was was busy so didn't need to have her take plates back but we had asked for one to a birthday slam - oh we don't except offers here we're a franchise - oh ok - you can use your AARP offer if you have it - to save some money . Ok thank you . We ordered our mom a meal for home as she already had it ordered - but when it came - no maple syrup no jelly / I asked for it when paying . I then said ok here is for the 3 meals and my AARP card / oh no we don't accept it at THIS LOCATION - what ? No birthday deals / no AARP discount here ? No we were told because they are a franchise they don't - we asked about the AARP discount when paying and he said we don't do discounts here period - now whey we were leaving we saw this sign and took this picture- would have been nice if they said due to Covid were not accepting discounts vs were a franchise we don't accept any discounts now . Ok got it it's rough times . It is always nice to be able to go out and have a bite to eat with a friend or family - never do I go out for breakfast but it's nice . The positive side is our sever was nice . read more

A great place to eat morning breakfast. The only issue I had was that they only do AARP or Military discounts between 2:00pm - 4:00pm. All being directed by the owner. The employees are not happy about either. read more

My husband and I moved to the are recently and we were unpacking boxes for 2 days and couldn't think of any good breakfast restaurant other than a good 'ol fashioned Denny's breakfast and the great coffee that's offered at Denny's. I Yelped the closest Denny's and found this location. It's a cozy feeling at this location. Ruben, our server, was very welcoming and has an upbeat happy personality. After the long move it was just what we needed to see...a smiling happy face!! The breakfast we had was cooked to perfection and very satisfying. Ruben, thank you for making our morning! We will be back soon! ;) read more
