Dinner tonight we tried something different but my friend's toast part of it was burnt and she still brought it to us. It wasn't really busy so not sure why they gave her that. I did tell her it was burnt and she replaced it. read more

GREAT food and GREAT customer service! A person by the name of Vickie greeted & seated us, brought us coffee and was our server. She was so pleasant and refilled our coffee several times. Our breakfast was delicious and we didn't have to wait long for it at all. The place was clean, organized and everything was as it should be. I will definitely be back. This Dennys made my day. I was having a crappy morning, because our stay at Best Western was bad, 1 unacceptable thing after the next. They were out of coffee and their complimentary continental breakfast was the worst I've ever seen - yuck. SO GLAD WE WENT TO DENNYS INSTEAD! Thanks Vickie! read more

Food was sloppy, service was SLOW, and manager doesn't manger their employees. Overall, this place needs to hire new staff!!!!

We had an amazing experience at this Denny's thanks to our waitress, Asia. Our party of seven was welcomed right away, and her fun, outgoing personality kept us smiling the whole meal. We're in town briefly for a funeral, staying at the Best Western just steps away, and her kindness truly brightened our day. Outstanding service and yummy pancakes! read more

Denny's has never disappointed me. They provide great food at a reasonable price. The service is always great no matter what time of day I go. And I like that you can order breakfast all day and night. It my mom's favorite place to each out too; since she wears dentures Denny's has many choices for soft food. She chose the omelette it's has bacon, sausage and lots of veggies. My bourbon chicken was really delicious, it has mushroom, broccoli, potatoes and two pieces of chicken. I really like the bourbon sauce is amazing. The ambiance is okay, it's open and can get a bit noisy. There was a big party seating next to us with several kids making lots of noise but that expected. I would definitely recommend this place oh and the coffee is really good. read more

Food and service was great! I loved the moons over my hammy. Its was a great breakfast sandwich served with crispy hash browns.

After praising the lord I went and had breakfast at Denny's on Henderson. I was so delighted to have been attended by this young gentleman server named Albert. He made my visit so pleasant always checking to see if I needed anything even if he was busy . He was so well mannered and spoke to me with so much respect and nowadays it's hard to get such excellent customer service. Good job Albert may god bless you . read more

My mom and I ate Dinner here last night,Breakfast this morning and Dinner tonight. My aunt and uncle ate Dinner with us tonight. The food is great the waitress was very friendly. We are from Southern California. When we come up here we stay at best western and always eat at this restaurant. It is the best restaurant to eat at in Porterville. Good food. Good Service and a great staff! read more

Is only open till 10 now it was 9:40 and we got refuse service even though it says 10 you are legally required to seat anyone until the time it says they're closed I know this because I work at a restaurant and we were legally required to seat anyone until the time we close and we are required to keep the door unlocked until every person is out of the building I don't appreciate being denied service when there is 20 minutes until closing and if you don't plan on being open 24 hours don't keep a lit sign. read more

I would not recommend coming to this place due to the fact that all my food is not all the same temperature when I get it. Usually half of my food is hot and the other half is cold. I prefer my food to be hot and fresh when going out to eat. I usually have to ask for my cold food to be made fresh in which they do but again, I never get to eat all of my food at the same time. read more

This restaurant was one of my favorites because there aren't very many people. Until I went a while ago and had a bad experience when ordering and getting my drinks. It took them just about 20 minutes to get our drinks and then it took them another 20 minutes to come and ask us if we wanted a refill. At that point we were very hungry and a little upset that they hadn't even came and got our order taken yet. We just decided to leave and go have breakfast somewhere else. I have not been back to this specific restaurant since this day and I believe that they were understaffed but there were only two other tables besides us. read more

I read a couple of bad reviews about this particular Denny's and I don't understand why it was rated so low. I ordered takeout tonight because I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express, which is right next-door. I ordered the mouth watering chicken fried steak with zucchini, mashed potatoes, gravy and garlic bread. This Denny's is definitely worth the trip wherever you're coming from in the town of Porterville. read more

Waitress was really nice up until we paid for the food. She refused to give my grandmother a senior discount when my great grandmother had gotten one at the same location a month prior because we were trying to explain to her the we never ordered a side salad but simply asked to substitute the fries for a salad. Watch out for Stephanie. Got pissy at us for asking simple questions. read more

Had a great welcome and customer service at the Porterville Denny's off Hwy 199 next to Best Western Hotel. I also like the once in a while email coupons sent and honoring AARP members and others read more

Me and my friends ordered around 7am the place was dead took a while for us to even get serviced and it took what seemed like an hour to get my appetizer. And when I finally got my orders my "Zesty Nachos" came with no tortilla chips? I was left with a soup of sour cream and chilli! Horrible horrible service not to mention they made me miss a important meeting with their outrageous waiting time read more

We went out to dinner to Dennys the other night. And our waitress was really good and she was really fast at bringing our food. My kids got chocolate milk with whip cream on top. Her service was overall very friendly and fast if you are in town you should definitely eat here and ask for Asia she is a great server. read more

So tonight i ordered the french toast , eggs, and bacon with biscuits and gravy on the side. The bacon is burnt like crunchier then a potato chip and the biscuits and gravy taste like water. Literally no flavor. The picture of the gravy shows there's sasuasge in it bit mine was just plain white gravy with no flavor. We definitely won't be ordering from this Denny's again. If i could give 0 stars i would. read more

Absolutely the worst Dennys I've ever been too. Cold food, undercooked, manager was so disrespectful and rude. Even after telling her how our food was she refused to offer any solution. Will never eat here again. read more

Worst Dennys I have ever been too STAY AWAY!! Horrible service despite the manager being our server. Had a similar party of 8 sat 15 minutes after us placing our order & they received food before us. My daughter ordered chicken strips with mash potatoes & they brought out mash potatoes 10 minutes before bringing her chicken strips. Save your money & avoid at all cost! read more

It's Dennys but not all Dennys are equal. Not sure why this has such poor reviews. My food was good, hot and timely. The service was great and friendly. Great experience, better than expected. I would eat here again. read more

Great service and our gorgeous waitress Stephanie always had a smile and was very prompt with our food and the other staff made sure we had refills very promptly. Food was excellent and they were even willing to customize a milkshake for me (blueberry milkshake) which was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to returning to this Dennys the next time I am in town. Make sure to ask for Stephanie trust me you will be happy you did. She is the best waitress I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, trust me you won't regret it. read more

Dec 2 2022 Family celebration. ( 5 of us). We were told upfront there was a 45 minute wait.... which actually was only about 10 minutes. Eventually drinks were ordered. Then food orders. And we waited....& Waited...& Waited. When our food finally came it was COLD. Sent it all back & order was resubmitted. And we waited...& Waited. Couple of items not as hot as should have been. Waitress was nice & apologized. But we were never asked about drink refills. Apologies to us but never offered to compensate for the meal. I will never eat at our local Denny's again. read more

This location today gets one because the gentleman who sat us down was very nice and cordial. On the other hand his coworkers not so much cordial, respectful, and unorganized. They were literally standing around while there were 4 different parties waiting to be seated. We were sat probably on the furthest table put and we were able to hear their chatter from the kitchen and obnoxious laughter. It appeared that they were upset about a confrontation with another customer and apparently they whole restaurant needed to know. Foul language was annoying from the servers. Food was cold. Overall just a bad experience, unfortunately. Safe to say my family and I will not be returning to this location. Crew at this location needs to do better and be better. I guess they just show up up secure a check. ‍ read more

Clearly the 2 waitresses were fueding and the manager wasn't anywhere to be found. Had they worked for me they would have been fired. 15 minutes waiting to be seated , there were at least 10 tables and booths clean. I walked out. Can't stand stupidity or lazy people. I live locally but will never go back as long as management isn't changed. read more

I don't expect much from a "chain" franchise like Denny's or IHOP, but getting someone to listen to a basic order should be fairly common - - - not at this Denny's in Porterville. My wife and I each ordered a breakfast meal this morning - her order was pretty basic - the "Ultimate" omelet - please remove tomatoes and peppers as my wife is allergic to some peppers. Of course the omelet came with both peppers and tomatoes and chedder cheese instead of the swiss cheese we asked for and paid extra for. In addition, we had multiple conversations with the person we ordered from that we didn't want ketchup or jelly packets because we would not use them and we would just throw them away - - - there was an inordinate amount of both jelly and ketchup packets at the bottom of the bag, which was thrown away. Anyway, I will never go back to this Denny's and while we don't expect a lot from these types of franchises we expect that they get a few moderate requests right - in this case, they got none of them right. In terms of how the food was? My three eggs. steak and hashbrowns were fine - we don't know about my wife's order because she had to share mine because she couldn't eat hers. if i could give this restaurant a "0" score I would!!!! Don't go here!!! read more

Place was empty tonight and we still waited 30 minutes for our food. My son's burger was good but my veggie burger was so soaked in meat grease that I couldn't taste the veggie patty. All I could taste was beef. Please, please clean the grill between items because dang that was so disgusting. Also vegetarians aren't used to digesting meat which is harder to digest in general and that much meat can make us really sick. Didn't eat more than a few bites of the burger and told the cashier but she didn't really care. Won't be back to this Dennys because ick that's bad food prep. read more

Food was surprisingly not bad. Pancakes were good everything else was meh. Ambiance was eh. What do you expect it's dennys. Got the job done. Too expensive tho read more

Very disappointed because I am a Dennys fan. Rubbery crepe, overdose of horrible tasting vanilla cream, and lack of fresh strawberries. Your eggs hashbrowns and sausage always good. read more

The staff is very rude. There's a blonde woman who has been rude and short on multiple occasions. I would recommend driving the extra 5 miles to go to the Denny's on Henderson! read more

This is an average Denny's. Located next to a hotel, it was quite busy when we checked in. We had spent a couple of days in the mountains and were opting for some breakfasty grub on our way home. There is nothing special about this place nor is there any real reason to avoid it. There were very busy with a long wait on the day we stopped in. The staff was polite, the food was average. Meh. read more

Friendly staff. Clearly not enough of them. Manager (Amber?) has only one volume - loud. I could hear her yelling from the kitchen. She came out to counter and yelled. Mask under her nose or hanging from one ear. The onions on my steak were just disgusting. So salty I could not eat them. Ruined the already awful t-bone. I didn't say anything because I thought it would be an embarrassing scene. Never ever again will I eat at Denny's anywhere. This is my second awful "dining " experience. read more

It's an odd location, behind a hotel and also an odd interior. we had a bad table where every time the outside door was opened we felt a cold breeze on our legs and feet. Food took a while too.. read more

I used to love Denny's growing up as well as Perkos and Lyons but the entire diner atmosphere is dead. This place is disgusting with unclean silverware and basic breakfast items that cannot be cooked properly even after being sent back. The waitress manager was thoroughly embarrassed and I feel embarrassed for her that the level of care and management has let these places become total dumps. Save your money and goto cafe 2:12 or country cafe or black bear. The need for a good breakfast place in porterville is needed more than ever. read more

They may be open all day but they sure don't want to serve all day! I should have known better than to try to eat here as I've only heard negative comments about this particular Denny's. Was this they weren't tabling anyone for 30 minutes. It's a if they think their food is worth the wait. Ended up driving down the road, got my food and ate it within Denny's wait time for a table. Good job running customers away. read more

Stephanie is an amazing server. Thanks for your time. Best strawberry banana milkshake ever.

Privately owned; i should have known. If you insist on Dennys in Porterville, go to the other one. The wait wasnt bad but the staff had a bad case of resting bitch face. They gave us a recently washed table and laid the menus on it; it smelt of syrup and some other food. I was already upset but i wanted some soup. At 11 AM, it turns out, they didn't have any soup available yet. I told them we would be cancelling our order, she just turned away to those that would give them business; no apology; just a total cry baby attitude. I don't even know how they're still in business. read more

I would give this a zero stars if I could this place is horrible. Discrimination to the max. I don't even know where to begin. From the time I walked in to the time I walked out. Everyone rude and disrespectful I ordered ice coffee knowing they didn't have any the waitresses did. Not inform me the only restaurant in town that don't give kids crayons but gives the menus I didn't even feel welcomed the vibe SUCKS it feels dark and gloomy. We ordered and then left because another Mexican family came in and wanted to sit in a booth they white lady told her no and then when a another white family came in they sat there at the booth. That is when my family and I choose to leave we ended going to generals in porterville much better place. read more
