My mom and I have been loyal customers of Dennys the past 5 years. We eat there sometimes ad often as 3xs a week. Friends with the waitress even bring them Christmas goodies and gifts. On Saturday 5/26/18 about 1:30 pm my mom& I went in for some lunch. I ordered the grilled chicken with broccoli. When I was served there were 5 small pieces of broccoli on my plate. I asked about it and the waitress said that wad the "New pre packaged portioned sized" She tried to talk to the chef and he said nothingb he could do. New pre portioned size. I told het no worries I was posting a picture of my plate. About that time the manager FLEW OVER to our table and said he would be paying for our meals and we were to NEVER COME INTO DENNYS EVER AGAIN!! I said because I posted a picture and he said Yes!! Unbelievable!! I thought we lived in a free country and were allowed to take pictures and post whatever we wanted!! Obviously not so in Dennys!! That's ok well eat at Cindy's and give them ALL our $$ besides their food is fresh! NOT PRE PACKAGED!! read more

Denny's - American Near Me - Oakdale, California

I ordered the Classic BLT and the bread was almost impossible to eat. It felt like I was biting into a box of nails. :/

Super accommodating! We needed to feed a party of 30 people, and the service was great even though we were a huge party. Very friendly waiters and great food. Thank you guys!! read more

Best Denny's. I have been here 3 times. 3 different servers. All were great. I have ordered three different burgers and they were all better than the picture. The only time I had to wash up before I was done with my burger. Everything was clean. Prices were great. Don't forget it is Denny's. I'll definitely be back. read more

Meh! Went to Denny's to have breakfast for dinner, ordered the Choconana pancakes, with eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns. I swear I'm not that picky, but it wasn't good at all. I took one bite of the pancakes and they were gross. Had an odd taste to them, eggs were cold, and hashbrowns I didn't even bother to try. Ate my sons left over crepes instead. When I mentioned it too a waitress she said she could "give me a discount but if they returned everything people just didn't like they would be in trouble". I didn't even take my left overs. She gave me a 15% aarp discount. Seriously? 30$ for one edible meal? I've worked at restaurants and have NEVER been somewhere that wouldn't return a meal if the customer didn't want it. Bad customer service. Also, as a side note there was 2 small tables other than us and our waitress was very vocal and obviously unhappy that she was the only waitress on the floor. Chewing out the cooks that there was 2 of them and one of her. Unprofessional. read more

Bad service food was horrible, waitress checked on us once the entire time we ate, place really went down the drain

Love, love!! The service is wonderful.. Morning time the ladies are fast, polite, and full of excitement. Night time is a bit crowded but still fast service, still full of excitement, and midnight is more relaxed and a good speed, prefect for me!! No matter the time of day you visit for a bite to eat, the staff is delightful!! The food great, and filling!! Midnight cooks are A+ in my book!! CLEAN restaurant!! Bathroom are always well kept. Coffee is hot and fresh! Raspberry tea is yummy!! 5 stars all the way!! read more

I don't usually do written reviews but we were there Saturday night. We had Nina as a server and she was amazing, and very friendly.

Service was a little on the slow side. The food gave me a stomach ache after I'm not sure why. It could just be me but I think the food tastes better at other Denny's locations. I guess if I'm in a bind and it's late at night and I need to sit down and eat I will come here but probably not read more

Food was good but service wasn't the best, took forever to take order and the refills took even longer... Also, when refiled, they wouldn't remove the used glass..... Not to happy but i would come back.. read more

We spent $78 dollars for 6 of us. Not one of us was impressed with our food. Our food was cold and sat before they brought it to our table. The hashbrowns were ok but the worse was the waffles they were delivered with cold strawberry topping and the waffles were soggy. Even the coffee had to be sent back because it was cold. I'm giving a 2 stars but that goes right to Elsa our waitress. She was nice. I think she only lacked training. I probably will never go back to this dennys read more

5 stars because kids DON'T eat free. Take the Bernie sticker off your car. Your dreams of having your entitlement fulfilled are over. We've always had great service, and we can afford to buy our kids food. Waitresses are very polite and on the ball. read more

I would do zero stars if I could. One of the old lady workers was very rude. Didn't feel welcomed at all as my party and I walked in . I was mentioning to my party that I would like a booth as I was walking to the restroom and one of the older ladies working there,rudely interrupts and says they don't have anymore booths. Come to find out after I come back from the bathroom and the whole other side of the restaurant has empty booths. We left right away. Horrible service. Never coming back. read more

Ok, this was weird. Our waitress was kinda strange and made us uncomfortable. But he?/she? was nice enough and did a decent job. The food was basic Denny's. Bathrooms were extremely filthy. read more

Stopped here last night for a quick bite after work. We shared a plate of nachos, and thought they were flavourful. The place is clean, staff is friendly, although a little oblivious. Our waitress couldn't remember the name of the soups, and was unsure how big the nacho plate was. When I asked if she was new, she said she's worked there for a quite a while. All in all, it was a good experience for a stop along the way place. read more

Been at this location for 30 min before getting my drinks and order being taken. Then a total of 50 mins of being here to eat. This place was terrible. We wanted to walk out so many times. Don't come here. read more

We have been waiting here and have not been acknowledged on just waiting here while everyone is being served. It is pretty obvious that we are the only table without food on our table. Next time we are going somewhere different. They do not even greet you when you walk in. read more

The food is good and service is average. It's okay, just don't expect much.

Stopped and had breakfast on my way to Modesto. Service was fabulous & my food was great.

Food arrived partially heated. Had to track down waitress to get it fixed. Coffee refill was slow.

no kids eat free. Long wait times for food. go somewhere else until this place can learn to appreciate their customers

It's Denny's... Good in a crunch... Affordable... The new diner special menu they have here is very good and cheap with a lot of food... The service is usually good and have never had a bad experience that would warrant not wanting to come back.... read more

Dear god don't waste ur time or money. We were greeted promptly seated to a sticky unbussed table. After that shaky beginning it started to improve. Our waitress was polite and efficient. (This is the only reason we gave 2 stars). We ordered bourbon chicken skillet and (new and improved - what the menu said) chicken strips. Holly molly if those were improved they really must have sucked before. Without question the worst chicken strips every. 3 of them were still clumped together meaning cooked outside raw and soggy inside where they were stuck together tthe other 2 were cold and left over. The skillet had so much sauce on it it was more like a stew. Really sweet and salty. The cook did not have his heart in it. Yuck on both accounts. All of this came with a 35$ price tag with drinks. Sorry but can't recommend and even suggest fast (yuck) food alternatives over this Denny's. Very poor and mediocre for an expensive price. read more

Was seated at last booth next to restrooms. The smell of sewer was so bad and we counted 6 flies buzzing around table and window. We asked to be moved before we ordered. They moved us one booth further away from restroom. The smell a little better and not quite as many flies. The waitress never smiled and the food was hot, but not the best tasting. I will not be going back to this restaurant any time soon! read more

Very clean, great service, prices low. food was very good! We didn't wait long for our food and never needed to ask for anything. the pie was amazing ! read more

Patricia is an amazing waiter always great to help, always glad to help us with our food and Defiantly always a great wait to have!

Best dennys experience ever! Usually I go and everyone is rude and the food is sloppily thrown together. This dennys crew was all friendly. We got multiple refills on coffee and water. Food was hot and delicious. Jenni our swrver was great. The manager funny and nice, as well as the bus girl! Loved it. read more

I love coming to Denny's on Sunday. No mess to clean up no dishes to wash. But I had the worst customer service this morning. My server was Corelli. I don't eat bacon or anything to do with pigs. She brought me bacon. Instead of telling me I'll take it right back she stared at me like I didn't know what I was talking about and asked me "are you sure you didn't order bacon" umm yes I am sure. She walked away and then brought me something else. Didn't say a word. Another thing that bugged me is that the little old lady behind me didn't like her pancakes and she told her "well you shouldn't have ordered that" I was in shock. Worst server ever. read more

One of the worst places to visit. The waitress was very rude to the customers in the adjacent table prompting her customers with only "what do you want!!!". As for our table of 7, she brought water and drinks but didn't return for orders. After more than half an hour, we left paying only for the 2 soft drinks. The establishment wasn't crowded and therefore, under staffing wasn't the issue. I've been to many Denny's and this waitress is just an example of extremely poor performance. Unorganized, rude, unprofessional. read more

Cassi was our waitress. We were shown to a seats right away, after being offered the choice of booth or table. The computers were down, but all of the patrons were being served and the cashier was actually doing a pretty good job of keeping things moving anyway. Cassi took our order. I ordered the t bone well done. it came out perfectly with the sides i asked for. I thought it looked like the fried vegetables was too small a portion, but when i had eaten my fill of everything, i still had a sizable chunk of steak in my Togo box. Our birthday boy ordered chicken strips and salad. The strips arrived before the salad. Cassi apologized and said that it was entirely her fault that the salad was late. She did not even try to blame it on the computer problems. Instead she asked if there was anything else we needed and our birthday boy asked for more tomatoes. Now i HATE those red poison tasting things, but he likes them, and Cassi not only brought out more of them for him, but also some extra cucumbers and extra dressing. Our bithday boy was very happy. The third member of our party ordered breakfast. He is a teenager, but ate almost all of his meal and a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake. He wanted an Oreo shake, but they were out of vanilla. Cassi suggested that she could make the peanut butter shake with chocolate and he said yes. It sounded so good our birthday boy added the same type of shake to his order. It was our birthday boy's 32 birthday. It was Cassi's birthday too. And even though she was spending it working at Denny's with a broken computer system instead of being home with her 2 year old, she was smiling and pleasant the whole time. If i was younger, i could have proposed to her. The only real complaint i have is that the birthday boy did not get a free meal. Long ago, we only had to show an id proving it was our birthday to get a free meal at Denny's, but now you have to sign up and get their postcard. Even so, it was only $15 per person for a very good meal, some entertainment, and left over T Bone. read more

Shoutout To Hector, He Did A Really Good Job Today!! It Was Really Packed.! The Servers Aren't Really Good With Customers Very Bad Service. My Friend In The Other Hand Was Almost Chocking With A Fry. And She Didn't Ask For Any Refills. Hector Came Out Here And Clean All The Mess That The Servers Couldn't Do. read more

i've come to this place a couple times because its on the way to our cabin. every single time our orders are screwed up. the service is terrible and i still dont know whay we go back here. read more

Was on hold thanks for putting me on hold and forgot.karma is a.need of new staff

When you hike back to Happy Isles at 10:30pm long after the last shuttle has left, you know it's going to be a long night. Of course, there are no good options still open at Curry Village or anywhere in Yosemite. So that means a trip to Denny's in Oakdale for a hot meal on the way home. I've found the graveyard staff to be welcoming and energetic. And you won't forget how bleh Denny's food is when you are hungry and tired after a late hike. Those crispy hash browns will taste like a Chef Ramsey 5 star special. read more

We stopped at Denny's on a return trip to the Bay Area from Yosemite about 1:30 in the afternoon. Being 68 & having not been to any Denny's in over 30 years after being nearly a regular in my single days in Oregon, this was my first chance to order from the senior menu. I've been a vegetarian for nearly 25 years, so I relished eating the vegetarian omlette on the back page. A small one was serve to me with an equally small portion of hash browns. About 1/4 way through the omlette I discovered 1/8 inch squares of what I thought might be fried onions. My wife tasted them & confirmed to my dismay that indeed I was eating bacon. The waitress realized the mistake & had the short order cook replace it with a huge vegetarian omlette that even had green & yellow zucchini in it and an enormous new serving of hash browns. Having just hiked Yosemite for three days, I had no trouble devouring both the omlette and the potatoes. My wife enjoyed her hamburger, but I ended up on the toilet from eating bacon for the first time in over 24 years. The bill came to twenty something & I paid it without question, but a good waitress should have told the manager to comp my portion of the meal. Needless to say, I should have taken my wife's advice & found a better place to have an afternoon meal. Sorry, Denny's. I won't be back. read more

Disgusting! Flies EVERYWHERE!! I did not see the flies when I first arrived, as I used the restroom before sitting, but I returned to two flies sitting on my coffee cup. I counted 13 flies total at our table. Should not be allowed to serve food! Plus, the staff is rude. I don't know why Denny's feels the need to employ tweakers. Can there not be at least one waitress with teeth?? I'd drive a few more miles & find a Denny's in Modesto or go elsewhere. Nasty! read more

To say the service was excellent would be an understatement. My waitress, Kendra, was rapid with her service and exceptional with taking orders and being patient for myself and my friends taking forever to order. When we ordered, the food came out in ten minutes or less and was exponentially delicious. Ernie, the manager, was kind with a fantastic sense of humor and a welcoming personality, they both deserve some kind of praise. I would probably drive from Modesto to Oakdale just for this beautifully ran Denny's, 5/5! read more
