    This was the last resort for a meal as everything in Pismo basically closes by 9pm. There's plenty of parking which is always a good thing. It didn't take long to get a table. Ian, I believe that was his name was our server. Very friendly and sweet. Seemed like he was the only one working both section tonight. Maybe there was other staff but it looked like he was the one doing everything. Normally if I'm here it always tends to be breakfast as a meal. Regardless day or night. It's been a long time since I was in Denny's so menu may have some new items. I'm not quite sure. Breakfast still looked pretty much the same though. Went with the lumberjack meal and an add on of the red white and blue pancakes. Blueberry pancakes with strawberries and icing. Breakfast, hash browns were a little too crunchy. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and ham steak was all pretty decent. Also build our own omelette with a side of fruit. Both meal came with toast which was a little overdone. Overall, it did the trick. Can't really expect too much. Service was good, Ian took good care of us even though he was pretty busy. Still managed to come and check up on us and refilled drinks. I don't know if it was a manger or what, but when I asked him for the check he seemed a bit standoff. Like it wasn't his job. But did ended up getting it for us. Besides that, it was ok.

    So It is Xmas 2024, me and my mom need a vacation. It is almost becoming a tradition now that me and her doing road trips together at least one a year. We are back to Pismo Beach. Our experience from last year was great, so here we are. This time, we decided to go easy on the food. We picked Denny's as our main dining option. We know the menu quite well and the pricing is fine. We had dinner for 2 nights here and had good experience for both times. Our waiter, Bryan, was quick, friendly and attentive. Our food was good. Dining area are well kept. I like it here at bit better because it has some old school feel. All the newly built Denny's in our area doesnt offer the same feeling. Overall, it is a 5 stars from me.

    It's Denny's! Not "The Meltdown"!!! I'm out of town, 10pm, decide to DoorDash, find some good looking food, order online through DoorDash. It doesn't give me options to add ketchup and ranch, so I click on pick it up. Click on the app map and off I go. Here's the big problem. I'm looking for a restaurant called "The Meltdown" that's who I ordered from, that's who I paid online. I followed the map 2 miles down the road and I end up at Denny's. I think the map Must be wrong. Denny's is definitely Denny's not a place called The Meltdown". I stop at the gas station next door, ask the guy if he knows of "The Meltdown" he says it's probably further down the road where the nice restaurants are. I drive over there, looking around, not here either. Long story short, I go back to Denny's and ask if they have heard of a place called The Meltdown. She says sure that's us, we also go by ??? Burrito and The Burger Den and some other place. WTF??????? Why???????? Now I'm 20 min late to pick up my cold food that's supposed to be hot and I'm pissed off! AYFKM???? The food was of course terrible! The ambiance is disturbing. Looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years. Crack heads outside with vicious pit bulls and no leashes. It's a mess. Don't go to this place. Look at my food pics. How about that mess, all cold for $28. Gross. Greg's going to love this review.

    My earlier comment was removed. I have since downgraded my opinion of this location. The General manager, Beatrice, and her wait staff are horrible. Listening to them disparage customers by talking about them behind their back within hearing distance of me and other customers is so unprofessional. I couldn't get their attention for more coffee whilst they chatted away behind the counter. The night manager, however, is very nice and professional. It seems the only customers who keep this location going are the take-out or delivery orders. The chefs are also not to blame for this downgrade. I might add that a lot of cops patrol their parking lot and I suspect there could be drug deals taking place outside which isn't safe. Hope my review doesn't get removed again.

    Yummy breakfast

    Hello Dennys, my first visit to this location. It's 5am, I'm waiting for a ride at 7, I have my sunglasses on and it's dark out. So WoW, Dennys has a "new" bacon, it's like real bacon. Not the pre cooked, paper thin, prefab strips of the past. Yea! So I have a long ride today and I'm goin' for the breakfast this morning. Denver Omelet, no hashers fruit. The fruit was fresh seasonal and plentiful. The bacon side order made it on the check too. This really was an exceptional breakfast something the foodguy would never say about Denny's but hey thats where the credit was due today. Not sure if it's my lucky day but it's certainly off to a very good start. Maybe we'll see you here on morning. Foodguy-Martin

    Stopped by Holy Belly on a Friday morning--more brunch time than breakfast--but we still went with…read morebreakfast, and I'm glad we did. I had the La Royale, which I'd describe as a decadent French toast sandwich loaded with thinly sliced grilled ham and gooey Swiss cheese. It was excellent. We also tried the ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote, which were equally delicious--light, flavorful, and a great complement to the savory La Royale. Prices were very reasonable, service was friendly and attentive, and the location was convenient with easy parking. Holy Belly is definitely going on our list of go-to breakfast and brunch spots the next time we're in town. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

    There's a lot better breakfast, places in town, like pennies or honeymoon Café…read more I got eggs, Benedict with bacon instead of Canadian bacon. The English muffin is all doughy and not toasted. I shouldn't have to ask them to toast an English muffin. That's just common sense. The eggs were very runny and the bacon was mostly fat and not crispy and it was too salty to eat. The hollandaise sauce is very salty as well and to much on top. They are not flexible or accommodating to a customer's requests. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. No thanks. (That's one way to lose business.) The lights are very low and strange. You have to adjust your eyes. Way too dark in there. Parking is not easy. We won't be back.

The server offered up some of their homemade green salsa from the back, which packed a major punch (and I say this as a spicy-seeker). Overall, the name of this dish was 100% spot on as it was messy as hell. It was a super generous serving and definitely covered two meals for me, which was impressive. It also came with a choice of more-different-carb, so I opted for a biscuit. It was surprisingly crispy on the outside and made for a nice contrast-y dessert bite when topped with their homemade jam. I recommend checking the spot out, and try to nab a seat outside.

We usually stay near the pier, and this place is less than a 30-second walk, which makes it perfect for a quick morning coffee run. Both times we've been here, the coffee has been excellent. On our first visit, we got iced coffees, and they were great. They offer a wide variety of milk options, creamers, and syrups, along with the usual sugars and sugar substitutes, so you can customize your drink pretty much however you want. They also have a full menu beyond coffee, including iced tea, lattes, chai, hot cocoa, and Americanos. For food, they offer pastries, Belgian waffles, avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos. I haven't personally tried the food yet, but everything I've seen coming out looks really good. On this most recent visit, we tried their affogatos, and they did not disappoint. We both went with vanilla, and it was exactly what you'd expect. The espresso was made fresh, and the balance between the hot espresso and cold ice cream was perfect. Seating inside is limited to a few bar stools, but if you walk just outside and around the corner, there's a breezeway seating area with comfortable chairs and a nice coastal breeze. It's a great spot to sit and relax for a bit. Overall, this is a great coffee spot in Pismo Beach. Consistently good drinks, quick service, and a convenient location. We'll definitely keep coming back.
