    Came to this Denny's in San Diego as a backup spot after we missed the 3pm breakfast cutoff at the place we originally planned, and honestly... we were pleasantly surprised. Denny's really does one thing consistently right and that's breakfast. My girlfriend was craving breakfast bad and the pancakes absolutely delivered. We tried the new Banana Caramel pancakes and the Cinnamon Roll pancakes and both hit the spot. Sweet, warm, and exactly the kind of comfort food you want when you're trying to cure a random afternoon breakfast craving. Those were easily the stars of the meal. On my end I got the Crispy Bacon Ranch sandwich and it was pretty decent. They definitely didn't skimp on the sauce which I appreciated, and it tasted better than I expected for a Dennys sandwich. I added a side salad too... it was fine, nothing to write home about. My girlfriend also grabbed a Super Slam to go with her pancakes, and between everything we left satisfied. The place was clean, which matters especially for a quick stop like this. Service was a little aloof, but that's kind of what you sign up for at Denny's. You're not coming here for a five star hospitality experience. Overall it got the job done. If you want a reliable breakfast fix, especially pancakes this spot will come through. 3 stars for the overall experience but those pancakes were a win.

    Cobb Salad (No longer on the Menu)

    I stopped in at the Denny's on Coronado Avenue late on a Saturday night after a concert, and I was really impressed with both the service and the food. We were seated quickly, and our server, Anis, was absolutely wonderful, so kind, attentive, and professional. My daughter had her heart set on a Cobb Salad that we found out that night was no longer on the menu, and it was the entire reason we drove there. Anis went above and beyond to have the kitchen recreate it, which we both truly appreciated. The salad came out great, and my chicken bites and fries were delicious too, fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked. It's not often you get that level of care and service at a late night stop, but Anis made the whole experience genuinely pleasant. Great service, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere, I'll definitely be back! I would also like to add that Elmer is amazing as well. Even though we didn't have him this night, Elmer has been our server many times before & he"s excellent with customer service. I didn't want to leave him out, he deserves a shout out too.

    Charged for ranch when while you eat they never charge which was not an issue then I get home and my food is gross! Fries should not be this dark and burnt just because I said to go!

    Great service, quick turn around, and clean! Food was great, and Alejandra was lovely.

    I just want to give a big shoutout to our waiter, Elmer. Super friendly, fast, and really made sure we were taken care of the whole time. You don't always get that kind of good energy and attention nowadays, but he went above and beyond. Food was great, service was even better -- thanks Elmer, you made the visit awesome and the ambience was great too.

    This was how the food was given to my son, (cold when I live 2 minutes away) thrown together and hash browns portion was only 1/2

    It's my sons 7th year old birthday on July 16th Friday. Does he get a Grand Slam plate/meal? I would like to Come and see if it's really true or not because I've never known…

    He gets a free triple double slam with his choice of either two pancakes, one slice of French toast, or one biscuit with gravy, as well as two eggs and two piece meat choice.

The burger was a 10 out of 10 and they even gave us some extra fries. So nice. The gnocchi is not a standard type of thing. It was good but the texture is more like whipped potatoes. We asked for the plates to be split in the back and they did. So nice. Made it so much easier. Thank you. The tuna tartar for the app always also outstanding. Always. Delight.

    Saint James has quite a tasty happy hour menu…read more We frequented Saint James on a Monday and they were surprisingly empty. Their happy hour menu was quite diverse. The white wine of the day was Chardonnay and the cocktail of the day was an agave spritz. Our server was kind enough to tell us that the burgers did not come with fries, just in case we felt like the portions weren't sufficient. Our server was quick with our drinks and refills. The food took a bit longer to come out. *Agave Spritz: a fragrant take on a spritz. I actually appreciated how it was not overly carbonated nor sugary. This was a refreshing pairing with all the fried items we ordered. *Pommes Frites: classically crispy and fluffy. Came with a choice of ketchup or aioli. *Croquettes: came with five airy and crispy balls on a pool of mornay sauce. The menu mentioned an aioli, but my order did not come with any. Thankfully, the balls were flavorful themselves. The mornay sauce was on the thicker side and there was some clumpiness, but it added pleasant creaminess. *Burger Parisienne: my preferred burger of the two offered. The bordelaise was done well, and the red wine added a complex sweetness to the burger. The patty was thick and the toppings made the overall flavor similar to an In-N-Out burger. *Burger Americaine: a classic American burger that resembled In-N-Out, but with a thicker patty. Good thing I enjoy both. The vegetables were fresh, but I would have liked a bit more of the special sauce. *Little Gems: a rather acidic and simple dressing. The little gems lettuce was cleaned well and was crispy. The radish offered some crunch and the herbs were fragrant. I would have cut the herbs a bit more though. This was quite a satisfying happy hour experience, although nothing was exceptional besides the croquettes. I would like to return to try their breakfast options, and Saint James does offer some interesting dishes that others do not. The pricing was fair for the quality we received.
