Very good hamburger, the fish (fish and chips) was overcooked and dry. The waitress did ask how the hamburger, and the fish was, and we didn't complain about the fish. Likely she would have offered a solution. The waitress was top-notch. Attentive but not overly so. The restaurant was clean. read more

We went in with for some quick breakfast. Tobias was our waiter . He was extremely welcoming, courteous, and overall made our Dennys experience even more enjoyable than I expected (it's been years since i've visited a Dennys) . Pancakes were delicious and fluffy. my kids all ordered from the kids menu. He was very attentive when taking our order. All Dennys should have a Tobias, Because of his service I will be sure to return to this Denny for my next Yosemite trip. read more

The service was friendly and fast, which was amazing - we were starving after a day hiking in Yosemite. We were the only ones there when we arrived at 5:30 pm on Sunday, and the restaurant was not clean, dirty tables, dish bins in the serving area, ants on the booth they tried to sit us in! Even when we paid, greasy dirty finger prints on the counter. My burger was good, no complaints, but my daughter's chicken tenders were way overcooked. The mac and cheese was excellent though. This experience wouldn't keep me from going to Denny's in the future, but I don't think I'd visit this Denny's again. read more

everytime I go to this Denny's, they are always hustling. Laura (our waiter) was awesome. she was on her own, killing it and serving every table with a smile. I respect having to work food service, a do way more then is required under a your job title. thank you laura for being amazing. read more

Tasha was the best! Though it was busy she made our experience a great one. The wait was worth it. We loved her acknowledgment and her hustle. Definitely made our night :) read more

The cooks and servers tried desperately to make this a better place for Oakhurst. It takes many years to establish a dependable restaurant. I hope more people give Dennis a second and third chance.. if people are traveling, they might want to try the Dennys on state College Boulevard in Anaheim across from Angel Stadium. Or the Dennys in Pismo Beach or the Dennis in Paso Robles.. They make staffing priority and the employees pass on how they're treated to you. read more

Denny's - Diners Near Me - Oakhurst, California

The lady on shift this morning I believe Laura who claims she's the manager (but I've never seen her before this week) has an awful attitude she sent all her employees home and then it got busy and it took almost 30 minutes for our food to come out and it was just sitting in the window the whole time. If a manager can't handle a restaurant by herself maybe she should have kept some of her staff. Also I thought Denny's managers weren't allowed to steal tips and tables from their staff who probably need it more. I've had good experiences lately until she came along you guys were improving but as long as she's there you guys will sink again be better Denny's. Restaurant was dirty dishes everywhere just her in sight on her phone smh. Food was still delicious so thank you chef ! It wasn't your fault it was cold. read more

Denny's - Bourbon Bacon Burger - Diners Near Me - Oakhurst, California

We arrived at the restaurant and it was busy but we were seated immediately. It quickly became apparent they were extremely understaffed and our server was managing 10 tables. Despite being pulled in many directions Laura was incredibly attentive, extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good but it was really our amazing server that made the experience so great. Thanks! read more

I am giving this place a 1 star. As the place was very busy with only 1 server and 1 hostess that was working. I had asked ( I believe her name was Britney) he's was running around like a chicken with its head cut off (sorry to say it like this). I give her 5 stars for her service and showing a smile all the time. She was doing her job as much as she could. I asked where was the manager, and she said that they opened up this morning and left and left the place short staff. I could not believe that the manager didn't try to make sure that there was a staff to fill a Saturday night shift leaving the place short staffed. The men's bathroom is in need of repair. read more

Toby was super friendly and we had a great experience at Dennys in Yosemite. He put extra care into our order, gave suggestions that were specific to our preferences, and also accomodated all our requests. would come back again for breakfast! read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! I had an Uber Eats order for desserts for one of each of the following (6 items): Lava cookie skillet Apple pie crisp Brownie sundae with Oreo pieces Strawberry shake Chocolate shake Oreo milkshake I tracked the driver so I know he was there exactly when the order was ready and came directly to our house to drop it off so the desserts looking like this was definitely not his fault. First of all, there were NO shakes whatsoever! Just scoops of ice cream on a plate! The other 3 desserts just looked like crap and unappetizing. I can't imagine what the food they serve looks like if they mess up dessert this bad! I guess their numerous 1 star reviews say it all. read more

My family's experience at the Denny's in Oakhurst was amazing today and that started with Laura who represented the business so well! We were greeted with a smile and honest expectations were set in a very respectful way that the restaurant was happy to seat us but that they were short staffed so it may take longer than normal. With kids this is very helpful information! Laura checked in with our table frequently and was so attentive she caught toppings that were missing from my salad that I didn't catch myself. She jumped in the kitchen herself to help get our table of 7's food out quickly and even found the time to check back in with us at the end of our meal. Traveling from a big city in Texas I wish there were more people who took pride in their jobs the way Laura does! read more

A POORLY managed restaurant. Watched 3 different sets of customers walk out. Nobody at cashiers. Nobody at host stand. Not very many people seated. read more

Server was nice and friendly. The food was very good and came out quickly. Will dine here again on my next visit.

I would rate the night shift workers as great. They work their butts off! Evenings get busy with the tourists but the Owners do not allow enough employees to work at night to take care of everything. Sunday night I was there and more than half of the tables were occupied but the Owners only had one waiter and a cook. That is terrible. (around 7 or 7:30 a second Server started working) The Server was working fast and hard to take care of all the tables. He is a great Server, friendly, knows what he is doing. I feel sorry for these employees. They are over worked and I'm sure under paid. The food is cooked well. So far everything I've ate was cooked well. I would suggest to anyone that is going to eat there, please be patient because it is Not the employees fault. Complain about the Owners, not the employees. read more

Firing a few of the troublemakers might give the good employees a chance to shine and restore some order to this place. It's not fair to those who are genuinely trying to make it work. Gentleman waiter was great. Woman supervisor genuinely was trying her best to keep things in order in a very difficult position. read more

Food was good but took a while to come out, the men's bathroom is my main complaint. That is the worst smelling bathroom I have ever smells and it's not close. It don't think they have ever cleaned it based off the smell. It is far worse than any bar bathroom I've ever been to. Truly impressive that a restaurant bathroom can produce that smell. Please for the love of god clean the men's bathroom. read more

Five stars for the waitress that knew my friend was high af but didn't say anything Five stars for the salty chicken tenders Five stars for the restroom handle coming off Five stars for the extra ham in a non ham sandwich Five stars for Dennys not closing at 8:30 like the rest of the town Five stars for the child chef. I love Denny adventures read more

Nina was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. Our drinks stayed full, the food came out quickly, and she checked in at just the right times without ever being overbearing. You can tell she really cares about her customers and takes pride in her service. She made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you're stopping by Denny's in Oakhurst, definitely ask for Nina -- she'll take great care of you! read more

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews because our experience was absolutely above and beyond. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server ,Jeffrey went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of, which made the whole experience even better. This place exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be coming back. Sometimes people are quicker to complain than to appreciate great service,this spot deserves more credit. read more

The servers here need to have a better attitude! Never have I ever had this kind of rude attitude from any Dennys servers anywhere in the US! Hire better staff read more

They did their best with what they have service was quick and friendly. They check on us several times to ensure we had what we needed. read more

Wait time was not great, maybe 20 - 25 minutes. Utensils did not come with our plates, we had to get it ourselves. Asked for a medium cooked stake but it was more like well-done, bit too salty as well but I tore it up anyway. Many annoyances but waiter was apologetic. Couldn't find the waiter at the end to pay, had to look around to find them. Ambiance is fine, floors are dirty, wet and sticky though. Overall, eh. Will only come in a pinch. read more

This place is amazing!!! We can late at night and Britney was awesome!! Great customer service and food came out fast.

Great service this morning. And a good value for the portion size. Very consistent basic breakfast food.

Nina was absolutely delightful she brought our food and drinks out fast and was helpful the Whole time !!!! 10/10 service read more

Well, we decided to give Denny's a try again for the first time in ten years, because of the flood of very good recent reviews that this location had received because they were "under new management." This business has occupied the old BJ's building for the last 6 years or so, and BJ's was okay so we decided what the heck? Anyway we've been sitting at our table for 30 minutes since ordering, tepid weak coffee to sip on in the meantime and making conversation about how nasty the floors under the tables are. Our server warned us there would be a long wait, because they had a few tables come in at once, but honestly, this place is empty. There's like four tables here. She told us "it's a kitchen problem" and that they "only have one cook." Well, none of that is our problem. Well, our food just showed up and I literally started laughing. The crepes were wadded up like discarded towels on the plate, and the greasy hash browns and eggs looked like they were thrown on from six feet away. The strawberries were ICE cold and they had to take them back and warm them. I should also mention we didn't have silverware at all and had to go find her to get them. My grand slam was pretty serviceable except for the bacon which tasted and looked like it had been sitting out for hours. The pancakes were great actually, lacking butter but nice and fluffy. The toppings for the crepes however were unbelievably sweet to the point of being almost inedible, the crepes themselves being a little on the tough side, but would have been fine except for the sweetness of the topping. All eggs were cooked well. In all I'd be probably give two stars, I'm giving one due to expectations from all the five star reviews, literally go anywhere else unless you want hangover food and you live nearby .I recommend Pete's place, which despite being poor after new management is still worlds better. Edit: we just got told we had to get up and pay up front lmao, because of cash back. I can't remember if this is a normal Denny's thing but it's ridiculous. read more

Wonderful service. Was not to busy on a weekday. My server Candice was great. Food was great. Definitely recommend recommend.

My sister and I went to this restaurant on Thanksgiving for dinner. We were warmly greeted by our server and waitress Valorie C. She was very attentive to our needs. What struck us was the amount of people that she was taking care of. There were many families celebrating the holiday and through it all she was both cordial and professional. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Great food and experience. The service was spot on and it was a great time. Great ambiance.

We went on 1/1/25 it was crowded, we got seated right away but it took our waiter about 30 min to even take our drink order we got water and since we waited so long we had looked at the menu so we were ready to order. So I ordered the turkey dinner and the waiter said oh yeah we are out of turkey gravy ,salmon,steak and wavy cut fries and something else . So they should have told us upon arrival they were out of all that. So I ordered the BLT slamwich with onion rings , my son got the fruit pancakes breakfast and asked to substitute the meat for fruit my grandson got some sampler with onion rings and mozzarella sticks and hubby got the grand slam and asked for tortillas on the side. We waited another 45 minutes for our food. He brought my grandsons first then about 20 min after that our food now here is my biggest issue the onion rings were so greasy yes I know there are deep fried but it was like they sat in oil and they tasted oily and like the grease hadn't been changed in a while , then he asked us was there anything else we said you forgot the tortillas and side of fruit he said ok I'll be right back with them. Then we seen him come out with plates of food and take them to another table and we waited and waited never got the tortillas or never got refills on our drinks. Now I'm taking in consideration that there was only three or 4 people working the floor and about three cooks. So they should let patrons know that 1. They were out of a lot of things 2. The wait time would be longer than normal 3. Make sure to check on your tables. We had a male waiter who didn't have a uniform on I think he might have not been working but maybe got called in or tried to help . Then when I went to pay the prices were different they fixed it they defiantly needed some read more

We decided to visit Yosemite for a weekend getaway, and my wife had a craving for something sweet. We opted to go to Denny's, conveniently located next to our hotel. We decided to purchase some Cinnamon Sugar Pancake Puppies we saw online. Despite it being years since we last ate at a Denny's, we thought, "Why not give it a try?" This review evaluates three categories: customer service, entertainment, and food. Customer service receives four stars due to communication and direction issues, although the entertainment aspect compensates for it. People-watching and observing the employees provided us with amusement during our 20-minute wait for these "Puppies." Upon finally receiving our order and returning to the hotel, we were in shock by what we found upon opening the container. Not too sure what we received but It left us imagining the state of the kitchen. Despite this, the experience gave us a good laugh, making the $6 spent worth it. It served as a reminder of why we don't choose Denny's. Customer service gets four stars, entertainment earns five, and the food receives zero. With a total of nine stars across all categories, this restaurant earns three stars from us. read more

We left after 30 min waiting to have our order taken when the waitress ran quickly to a group of people who came after us and immediately served them and took their order. He ignored us completely. The waitress also kicked a crayon on the floor to go the next table instead of picking it up and clearing the floor. I know there isn't much places to eat in this town but if you choose Dennys out of the rest, think twice. read more

Not recommended. Staff was ok...at best. We wanted waffles, they said they were out. Ordered drinks, asked for straws, they were out. Asked for soup, was told they don't make it until later in the day. Food was good but hash brown portion was small. The salad didn't have croutons but some weird shoe string potatoes. Restaurant appeared clean. Women's restroom had two stalls, one was out of order. Overall a pretty disappointing experience. read more
