    Being near a military base, it was not surprising to see many young men on their weekend break having thie breakfast after leaving the base. I wish their food could have been better, but I would imagine this is similar to the mess hall, so no complaints there. However, for an average patron, it really did not make an impression on me and seemed it all could have been better. My fish and chips tasted like it was just thawed from the freeser and the french fries looked like it was squeesed mashed potatoes into a deep-fryer. I am now trying to be more particular with the trtaurants I choose...

    Breakfast with my very kind San Diego Yelp friends Arr and John. Ty so much for breakfast Art.

    This is a busy Denny's restaurant. It is located right next to our one n only Camp Pendleton and literally just off the I 5 freeway southbound. It has a big dining area. It is in an old building ( photo) and has that old school feel to it. The menu is huge. Breakfast options for weeks plus specials and also an extensive lunch menu including steaks and salads, The coffee is served hot and frequently with half and half mini containers at the table or fresh milk in a jug by the awesome, alert and very proactive Jaisa( pronounced with an H). She took really good care of us and also the four other tables in our section. It is 2025, so do expect to pay $20-$23 for a full breakfast. The restrooms, separate, are in the back and need some work and updating. This was a very nice Thursday outing. Thank you for breakfast Art.

    2 AM visit is always the best! No issues, and they always take care of the military with a solid military discount. It's been a minute since I've been back to Denny's, but when you need a late-night spot after the club, this place never disappoints. I've been coming to this location since 1995, and the service has consistently been great every time. I love the variety on the menu and the quality of the food. Was kind of hoping for some classic after-party drama on Saturday morning but nope, just good food and smooth vibes.

    Had an opportunity to meet with friends, today. It was so nice having breakfast and coffee with them. A hearty meal that included scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage and pancakes. It was a delicious way to start the day.. Our waitress, Jaisa did a wonderful job keeping our drinks topped off and kindly helped us with any additional requests we had. She provided us with outstanding service. Although the restaurant was busy, the noise level was low enough to have a conversation without having to strain to hear each other or raise our voices. The casual atmosphere made it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy time with friends.

    From the value menu: hamburger and breakfast slam.

    My breakfast was awesome. Eggs cooked nice and soft, bacon had a nice slight crisp and my sausages were good. My pancakes were golden brown. MMMMMM. Service was quick, I didn't have time to play on my phone and my food was coming out to the table.

    Pay here.  The service was very amicable and the store was clean.

One of them was the chicken shawarma, and it was so good! We were able to grab a charming spot outside near their garden, where they actually grow some of the fresh ingredients used in the dishes.

This time around, it's just the family for Mother's Day. Since I know my food, the table let me order. Fresh hand cut thick long French Fries without a ton of seasoning or oil arrived: one with a cashew cheese truffle sauce, one with no salt, and one salted as requested. My daughter loved her reuben. I loved my blt. The two Caesar salads for the table disappeared quickly because their dressing is unbelievable! Let's see .... what didn't we eat is probably smarter than what did we eat. Beet ketchup, The C Word (braised cabbage), a couple of cronic sushi rolls, and there was a special lemon creme brûlée. Everyone enjoyed everything they ate, including my almost 3 year old grandson (they brought out a specially sliced fruit bowl for him). They offered many choices for kids, but he just wanted fruit. Hope you had as wonderful a Mother's Day as I did. Yes. We appreciated eating healthy and not walking away stuffed but instead satisfied. They were selling plants. So I bought 4 and planted them today! The gift that keeps on giving! We will be back for sure! With garlic, gusto & gratitude, Chef Marian

Jacob was our server, and he was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Later, Kaitlyn brought out our butter cake, and what started as a quick interaction turned into one of those unexpected conversations that give you a different perspective and refresh that we all need every once in a while. The food was just as impressive. We started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, which was the perfect appetizer. For dinner, we ordered the Center Cut Filet, Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni, and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and something we'd happily order again. If you're thinking about dessert, do yourself a favor and order the butter cake. It absolutely lives up to the hype. What stood out most, though, was the people. Working in a restaurant can be overstimulating and exhausting. Everyone we interacted with was kind and welcoming. It's easy to enjoy a great meal, but it's the people who make you want to come back. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, the entire team is doing an incredible job. Thank you to Jacob, Kaitlyn, the manager, kitchen staff, and everyone else who made our evening so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back.
