    Kids eat free EVERY DAY 4PM - 10PM
    Danny S.

    Skip this Denny's!!! This was a horrible experience, and I honestly think people should avoid this Denny's. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this one feels worth sharing. We came in to celebrate my daughter after a competition because she wanted breakfast for dinner--something we've done many times at Denny's. I've eaten at Denny's 50+ times, and this was easily the worst visit. It started when we were told my daughter could only choose 2 of the 4 crayon colors because they were on their last box. Small detail, but it set the tone. The iced tea smelled and tasted spoiled and was sent back untouched. The food was bad--rubbery bacon and sausage, an overcooked, tasteless burger, watery ranch that tasted diluted, and cold, stale donut holes for dessert. The only bright spot was the Bourbon Chicken Skillet, which was actually pretty good. The kids menu says "Kids Eat Free EVERY DAY," but at checkout we were told this location only honors it Tuesday and Saturday, pointing to tiny fine print that says "varies by location". That's misleading. To top it off, we were charged for the spoiled iced tea and told to contact HR for a refund. Over $4. Not a big amount, just a strange way to handle it. We left and moved on with our night, but something is clearly wrong at this location. I'm sharing this so others don't have the same experience.

    I came here on Christmas Our waitress was super nice, my food was delicious, and we barely waited for anything. I was really hungry and I feel like I needed more food after the food I got. Besides this everything was hot and good Won't complain

    Zoraya always makes it a pleasant experience at the Denny's at College blvd. She takes the time to really listen when you are ordering. She is kind and has attention to detail. She always brings a smile to my family's face when we come in. Thank you for such beautiful service and wonderful crepes. Zoraya is a joy!

    The customer service that Angelena gave was outstanding. We felt welcomed and the food was delicious. Keep up the great work.

    This location could be a bit cleaner and more friendly. Our server could have been a bit more attentive. Food was pretty good.

    This Denny's wasn't as bad as the reviews said. It was clean, our food came out fast, and the waiter was super nice.

You can sit outside and have the ocean view with a breeze right across the street. The parking is easy in the lot behind it. Otherwise, on the narrow streets parking can be challenging. My favorite burrito so far has been the vegan one with rice! The lattes here are pretty good too. Usually, restaurants have good food, but mediocre coffee. This place has both good food and coffee. I especially like their Cubano espresso! Service is friendly and fast! My dog loves it here too! If you're looking for a simple coffee and burrito- this is the place! Love it!

From the moment we arrived, Sierra greeted us with her kindness and attentiveness. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely present, checking in at just the right moments without ever feeling intrusive. It was clear she truly cared about creating a positive experience, and that level of attentiveness made a big difference. Bryce was equally impressive in his approach. What shined was his care and attention to detail, especially when it came to accommodating my allergies. He made a point to ask questions before taking action, ensuring that everything was handled safely and thoughtfully. I appreciated how realistic and transparent he was about what could and couldn't be modified, which helped build trust and made me feel more at ease navigating the menu. His professionalism and awareness were evident throughout. Drea also made a strong impression with her calm and reassuring presence. She approached everything with a sense of patience and understanding, and I felt genuinely understood and validated in my requests and concerns. Her demeanor helped create a relaxed environment, which is especially meaningful when dealing with dietary needs. She balanced efficiency with empathy in a way that felt very natural. As for the food and drinks, my friend really enjoyed the Buccaneer smoothie and even went back for a second cup of drip coffee, which they said was smooth and satisfying. I had an avocado, egg, and tortilla burrito, and I especially liked the house brown sugar coffee, which had a rich, slightly sweet flavor that came through as a highlight for me. Overall, while navigating modifications can sometimes be challenging, the staff made the experience feel manageable and supportive. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to accommodate made a lasting impression, and it's clear that the team truly values customer care. I appreciated the window so we could order outside, sit outside, be right by the ocean and have access to restrooms.

    They open at 7 am.  We were there at 6:50. It was worth the wait.

Our servers name was Monse I believe and she was excellent. We had mimosas, an americano, lobster thermidor with cheese grits, and the steak and eggs. Out of the two entrees my favorite was the lobster thermidor which was an egg scramble with chunks of lobster and cheese. The cheesy grits were also delicious. The steak was overcooked so it wasn't doing it for me. Overall I'd say the food is pretty good for being a hotel restaurant I would dine again. The only thing with sitting outside is we saw the occasional transient person threatening patrons. We all just ignored them but it would be nice if they had a little more privacy on the patio from the street.

What's left are a few à la carte selections that were more expensive and not prepared as well as they were when we went previously, which was a couple years ago. What's super annoying is that the menu change still isn't reflected online, so we had no idea until we sat down. The avocado toast was burnt, potatoes were flavorless and unevenly cooked, and the "poached" eggs were hard in the middle. Prices are higher, service is slow, and overall it just feels like a place that exists now purely to gouge tourists in Oceanside. We won't be going back.
