It's Denny's right? Typical food. But horrendous service. Took forever and a day and the restaurant only had a hand full of tables occupied. I was impressed with their new fizz drinks where they are getting creative in mixing sprite with other juices. Their new flavored iced teas are decent too. But they still do not make up for the extremely slow slow service. While the food was ok, the bill was not for what you get. read more

the food was aight nothing out of the ordinary but the cook was very loud and rude calling me & my mom's names in Spanish, we are Spanish decent of course we know all the bad words!! they were all gathered in front of the window where the cook puts the plates when they are ready to be served talking shit as soon as I walked in the door. like they do not value or appreciate their job or something. the dennys staff at this specific location is not at all like the staff at the San luis obispo or Santa Maria location I'd recommend those over this place cuz they people rhat work here or pretty much dicks. I had the waitress scream at me before cuz she was touching my plates of food with the same hands that she was wringing iut the mop with only.mkments before and, no, she did not wash her hands at all between, before, or after touching the mop & mop water, or handling cash, or handling food!! the time before this that I came here to eat cuz nothing else was open the waitress had gotten a really long strange of her hair through NY pale of food and seemed like we were making a big stink by pointing it out to her. idk I think the people rhat work here should really take a customer service class as well as a food handling class for sure. oh yeah in their defense they could've just been giving the server shit cuz he was referring to him as joto but I don't think the cooks from Mexico sooo I doubt he meant his assistant pretty sure he meant the derogatory meaning. read more

I come here all the time with my theater pals. I was even able to download this yelp app and create my own account, all using their free Wi-Fi! Love the $2 endless pancake deal, hot tea, free water, and late night service and hospitality. read more

Denny's - Yelp's camera extension is not that good - Diners Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

I wish I could give more stars.... I had three breakfasts the last three days. All were good except the sausage and bacon. Always cold. Eggs, hash browns were hot. read more

Wow They are great and friendly . they have menus if you do not want to spend a lot of money and just enjoy the friendly service and nice atmosphere. DR.ED,DC read more

It is what it is. If you want an honest breakfast and stick to basics, it's a more than reliable place for eggs, bacon and toast and potatoes. It's when you go for the weird stuff like mexican omlettes or whatever that you'll regret. And you'll regret the calories too which are packed in those items. Stick to the basic breakfast and you're good to go. read more

Terrible experience. One waiter for entire restaurant. He brought the wrong drink & then took forever to come back & take our order. When we finally got our food it was cold. We talked to the manager who had our order redone. It was pretty good except that bacon & sausage were still cold. We didn't pay. I doubt we will go back here for awhile. read more

GREAT experience!! Gino was very attentive and helpful! Best Denny's I have been too hands down

Just an average place with average food. They seemed to know many of the people who came to eat. I won't go out of my way to return

Bad service. Edible food. Waitress not good. Filthy menus. Why am I here???????? The kids' pancakes arrived without butter. The lady just told me 'we don't put butter on the kids' meal'. Then she walked away. No butter ever came. Totally strange. And how dirty can a place be? There is a filth path leading out the door onto the sidewalk. The menus. Oh, wow. Please get this place cleaned up. Scary. read more

Their is A Waitress that has been their along time that works 3/Rd Shift. She is a Rip Off Artist. Right before her shift is over she says the Credit Card Machine doesn't work. Makes you pay cash and pockets the money. She is also Rude And Crud and Needs to be Reported to Corporate... I believe the whole . read more

Every year on our trip to Pismo Beach we eat breaksfast here at least once. Well not this year. There was a 20 minute wait for a table. After 10 minutes of being seated no one came to take our drink order so we left. The staff was walking around in a daze..maybe looking for Pokeman? We won't be coming back to this Denny's. We went down the street to Huckleberry's and was seated and waited on within 15 minutes. read more

i was at Denny's very early this morning. I cannot believe on an early Saturday morning there was only 1 server for the entire restaurant. This waitress, whose name is Cinnamon, hustled her tail off! She was amazingly pleasant for the amount of stress she undoubtedly was feeling. Take it from someone that used to work the bar crowd and early morning restaurant shifts, this waitress rocked. I asked if someone called in sick or something and was told no, this is how it was scheduled. For Cinnamon I give a 5 star rating, for the manager -1 star. read more

Okay let me start off by saying I don't think I have ever given a 1 star rating. My son and I were staying at a near by hotel on a visit to Pismo we decided we wanted to grab some pancakes it was 10:30pm but we checked the hours and it said open 24 hours. So we walked over from our hotel and their were a few people eating in the restaurant however the host said excuse me we are closed!! I was a bit confused as it looked like the kitchen was open and all the lights were on. Anyhow, with that said if they were really "closed" at 10:30pm then the hours posted should not say open 24 hours and the host didn't have to be so rude. Just an FYI if you are hungry and its after 10pm I would not trust the hours posted. :) read more

Ken, Shauna, and Marissa are the best servers ever! I never thought breakfast at Dennys could be so enjoyable :)

I actually made a yelp account specifically for this. To preface this, I was a manager at a Denny's for five years. I'm a firm believer in tipping. I wasn't greeted. The manager sat me. I was given coffee and asked my order within a minute of sitting down. When I said to management I need about two minutes it turned into 40. First, I waited patiently. I sipped my coffee. Around 10 minutes I started playing some game on my phone. 15 minutes in I realized I was done with my coffee. I tried to flag down a server. Nope. Three people ordered. In the same area as I was. At 25 minutes I finished my coffee and decided to see how long this really would take. As I approached 40, I decided an hour of my life wasn't worth it, and I was draining my phone battery. To my surprise the kid up front couldn't find my order. So, I asked him if I had to pay for the coffee that never got a refill. He looked at me blankly. Then asked if I had anything else, and I politely informed him, "I really wanted to order but never got the chance." More blank stares, and 2.38$ exactly later, I turned and walked away. Will I ever come back? No. That's my tip to you, too. I'll drive 30 minutes to Santa Maria instead. read more

Service took forever our waiter always got us mixed up with another table. We had to continuously get up to ask for something and one of the t-bone was bloody it just wasn't a good visit.. read more

Had breakfast here this morning Worst breakfast ever! Ordered two poached eggs they were hard boiled! Toast was cold, sausage was cold and dry The hash browns were ok Service was good read more

Went here on 4/23/19, probably about 9:30 to 10:00 PM. We entered and the host was on a personnel call. We looked at each other while she chose to talk on the phone rather than put them on hold while she seated us. When she finished she took us to an area South of her spot where there was food all over the floor and told us there was kids there before us. After 15 minutes of waiting for anybody we left and went to In and Out and had a great meal. If we are starving, we wont come back here. Waited to write this because when I tried the next day I was unable to, it wouldn't let me. read more

I like Denny's, they seem pretty healthy with many choices. I luv hash browns and ask them not to use butter. They brought out greasy hash browns with butter. So either they just ignore your requests or they don't know how to make them any other way. Probably won't be back unless for a salad. read more

Worst Denny's ever. Food here was horrible. The bread on my burger just kept ripping apart because it was old. The food should Atleast makeup for the horrible service. read more

Horrible place!!! If I could put no star, I would. But it's okay, I'm giving the 1 star to CJ, since he was super nice and smiling all the time. Only thing is since he was waiting on us, he's supposed to follow up on our orders. We're visiting pismo and decided to go to Denny's since it was very late and that's the only one open. We came in around 11, all tired and hungry. We didn't get our food till 1156pm. That was a long wait for a dennys. And there were not a lot of people in there. Half our group of 8 were already passed out on the table for the long wait. And of course it's not the best food but the usual order we get is just really bad at this place. We still ate them coz we're just too hungry to complain and wait even more. My order was the chicken quesadilla and it's so greasy and bland, I tried to eat it but no can do. My husband asked the waitress to switch to maybe half order of nachos so it'll be fast and the waitress was so nice to take it back and say "no problem". So that was nice... until everybody was finished eating and I already paid (with the quesadilla charged on us) and the nachos are still nowhere in sight. We called in CJ to ask about it and this time, I'm about ready to strangle someone (cmon I'm hungry and sleeping on the table). Come to find out, the waitress took the plate back but did not put in the nachos order. What!!!!!!!! CJ was apologetic and had the nachos to go and ready in 3 minutes. Too bad by the time we got back to the hotel, I don't feel like eating anymore and just went to bed. So yeah... such horrible experience. read more

We love this Denny's, and are always happy to see the Manager Michelle. She is cheerful and always greets us with a smile. On the rare occasion of an unhappy customer, Michelle carries herself with Grace and Dignity, and tries her hardest to resolve the issue and have happy customers at the same time. Michelle and her staff are the reason for the success of this Denny's. Lastly, our server Cinnamon was as wonderful as her name. She is a capable and equipped server well trained in customer service. You will be happy visiting this restaurant! read more

Decided to drive into town yesterday to go to dennys around 11am and the place was crowded. No worries though, usually Sundays are packed. I waited in line to tell the waitress how many were in my party and the person right before me had trouble using their Denny's gift card. The waitress seemed to have trouble figuring out how to use it too so i stepped in to help. All parties were happy and really no conflict was being made until another employee, named Stacy , came to "assist." Stacy seemed quite bothered and just angrilly snatched the gift card out of the cutomers hands and without saying a word to the coworker that she was tarining and went to the back. The other employee then happily helped us to the best of her ability. Then she asked her bratty co worker Stacy to help her with something and in front of me and my party she said "I'm not here to teach you how to do things here, I am only here to assist you." The most stuck up, brattiest employee I've seen in a while. I feel bad for the co worker she was "assisting." Even though the waiter took our name down for thw wait my party and I decided not to stay and go to Coco's because we felt uncomfortable due to Stacy's hostility. Coco's served us very well. read more

We decided to have a family dinner tonight and chose to go to Denny's since it was close and the kids like the food. As soon as we got there we were greeted with an aroma similar to the county dump. As the smell dissipated we were welcomed with a welcome to Denny's that more so came across that we were a bother than a welcome guest. The manager on duty sat us in the back corner by the restroom and brought us our drinks. To describe his personality and the way he treated us, I would have to say it came across as someone who hated their job and talking to people in general. Once we had our drinks our server came by roughly ten minutes later and took our food order, his personality and communication skills were lacking the personality and communication aspect. We waited for refills and someone from the table called the front counter since us waiving the manager and server down didn't do anything. When the Call was made and they explained the situation they were placed on hold for about 5 minutes before hanging up. Some of us ordered a salad with our meal to come first and they never came until the rest of the food came, which was over an hour since we sat. We stated that the salads were no longer wanted as they were meant to be served before the meal. They said since they made them they will be on our bill anyways and continued to say he has 5 tables so there's a wait and that's that. Then told us we ordered the wrong food when they brought out the wrong dish and rolled their eyes as they finally admitted they entered it wrong and we ordered it right. We then asked for refills on our drinks that were empty for 30 mins as well as silverware and the manager rolled their eyes and came back with it. I wanted to be sure they were remaking the correct food and the manager was rude and rushing as we were trying to resolve it. We then decided to just leave and the manager said ok and walked away. As we walked out the employees, which I reluctantly call them, pointed at us and spoke about us in a circle. This was the worst experience at a Denny's that I've ever have and I've been going to various locations for over 30 years. I Even worked at one in High School before joining the Army. To say we are dissatisfied is an understatement. We felt like we were nothing but a bother and not welcomed there. If I could give them negative stars I would. read more

My fiance and I came here on our way back out of town, and although we enjoyed our experience, it was less than ideal. We came on a Friday morning and waited about 20 minutes to be seated, and another 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged. The food was delicious once we got it, and despite the subpar experience, we enjoyed our visit. Would recommend, but service could be hit or miss! read more

The 2 stars is for the cleanliness only. I had to kill an ant before it took a bite out of my mozzarella sticks before I did. Table was dirty. Service was fine, food was good. read more

In terms of service (did not eat the food), One of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. We arrived and were asked to wait for 15 mins when the restaurant was half empty. Folks arriving after us were seated before us . After being seated, sensing that the service will be delayed if I don't order soon, I proceeded to say that we are ready to order and the waiter replied that another table is still waiting to order . The other party was there way before we arrived . Heard them complaining too. We just decided to leave . read more

This review is strictly for the employee JJ, he handled my to go order and was so thorough with it. He brought out my food and went over everything with me to make sure everything was there and I was happy with it and even came out to my car to bring me an ice cream we bought forgot about service with a smile for sure, he's an awesome employee:) read more

You stand here forever. They take forever to serve you. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes waiting just to get some water. Corporation needs to look at this Denny's and make it more efficient because people are here late at night and they do not handle the customers read more

Waiting in line for 20 min to pay our bill is ridiculous! Waiter Joshua was awsome and very kind!!

If I could give NO STARS, I would. My family & I came here instead of going to the nearest drive thru bc it was close by and we figured let's sit down and eat before our 3hr drive back home. Boy, oh, boy did we regret it. Although we were sited within mins of entering, the service was super slow. We waited nearly 20mins to get our drinks placed (I knew bc my son watched four short Mickey episodes) and was ready to order but it appears she wasn't. We watched as others around us getting waited by other waitress get they're menu, utensils, and drinks. Our table and the high chair for my child was filthy. I literally had to wipe it down with Clorox wipes (thank God I had them in my bag). & we're not going to speak about the restrooms....yuccckkkk is a kind statement to say the least. Long story short, it wasn't a pleasant experience. I will NEVER come back. 2hrs wasted and it wasn't even on eating but more on waiting.... read more

Oh my god! This place is sooo nasty. All the eating stuff as in plates, cups, and utensils were all filthy. Couldn't get anything right on our orders. 3 people at the table, wanted pancakes, French toast and some coffees. Brought wrong meals then argued about what we ordered. Like huh I've never had a server argue with me about what I ordered but she lost my ticket anyway so she just let it go. And the bathroom was crawling in bugs and mold. Save yourself a trip and go elsewhere. read more

This was probably one of the worst Denny's locations I've been to. We stopped here during a road trip to monterrey. There was no one at the welcome desk to seat us. After waiting a few minutes, we were seated. The waiter came to ask for our drink order. He brought those out and we were ready to order. He told us he would be right back, but we waited another 10 min. After ordering, it took 30 min to get our food. We were also missing 2 sets of utensils for our party of 5. My step dad and brother ordered crispy hash browns and they were slightly undercooked. Overall it was a bad experience. Thankfully, I was hungry walking in. Otherwise, I would have starved. read more

Walked into an almost empty restaurant before 730pm. We stood there for 5 minutes without anybody asking us if we needed any help. The few servers they had just kept looking over at us without acknowledging us and just kept going about their business. After 5 minutes of nothing, we decided to walk out because the restaurant looked dirty too & if they can't even seat us, how long will we wait for our food. This place is nasty! read more

This is a good Dennys. I ate there with my family twice this past week. The service was good. All the employees were friendly and quick to respond to any request. They have all the same policies and menus that other Dennys have, which is really important to me. That is really the reason we go to Denny's when we need an inexpensive decent meal for our family while traveling, we want to know what to expect. Some Denny's do not honor all the discounts or coupons still. We use the AARP discount and this Denny's honors that on everything like they are supposed to. We did have to wait a long for our food but again that is typical and you have to go in expecting that. read more

Great service. Manager was checking on everyone and even helping to bus tables. Waiter was attentive and even added fresh lemon wedges in my drink refill! Super friendly and food came out fast and was yummy. Good job!!! read more

If you are craving pancakes, the Pismo Denny's is the place to go. Rene is the master pancake maker. Plus their prices are so reasonable...$2 for 2 big delicious pancakes! The early morning crew is friendly & efficient which keeps me coming back for more! read more

Terrible service, very cold food, wrong order, this place is worse than a Dollar Tree breakfast. The bathrooms were worse than a gas station bathroom. read more

Great customer service here! they serve beer. before this i have never seen any Dennys sell beer. none of the ones here in sacramento do i guess. food was good and all our orders were correct. our server was real nice and we were joking around with her and she played along. made our visit more fun. they have alot of things, good things, on their menus that ive never seen at any other dennys. good clean restaurant will probably go here again next time im in Pismo. read more
