    Red, White and Berry Pancake Slam
    Frances D.

    I placed my New Berry Waffle Slam Order with Carmen for my breakfast today. My order also includes 2 scrambled egg's, hash browns and my choice of 4 slices of turkey bacon. My New Berry Slam price is $20.19. The Hash browns are $3.29. And the Signature Blend Decaf Coffee was $3.29. My total bill with tax was $29.45. Then I gave Carmen a $5.00 tip for her very friendly customer service. Carmen was very nice to me and my friend Michelle. My total bill was $34.45. This New Berry Slam includes Slices of big sweet strawberries and blueberries, 2 Belgian Waffles, This Caramel Syrup is poured onto these Belgian Waffles with Powdered Sugar. This New Berry Waffle Slam is very Filling and Yummy ! I don't need Maple Syrup. This new Berry Waffle it was sweet and very delicious! The other Grand Slam Breakfast included 2 Fluffy Scrambled Eggs, 4 Turkey Bacon and a large portion of crispy Hash Browns. I will definitely order this New Berry Grand Slam again soon. Dennys Restaurant have raised their prices on their menu. I had a good experience with Carmen my server.

    Love this place, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend it. My favorite meal is the Cobb salad and Salmon dinner . The atmosphere is great all the time.

    This might be the highest rating I've ever given a Denny's. We were the only group there on a Tuesday morning at 130am, so the service was quick, and everything came out hot. I tried the maple donuts, which unfortunately were a bit burnt and not as sweet as I expected. The syrup on the table was congealed, making it difficult to pour. One person had the Bourbon Bacon Burger which I had a bite of and I thought was fabulous. Another the Lumberjack Slam which she enjoyed for her first Denny's experience and the last had a Turkey Club which looked delicious. All of those were well-prepared and flavorful. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall experience. Because usually it's a hot mess. Overall, it was a decent meal with some minor hiccups, but still a better visit than anticipated. Parking lot was small. A few spots. Lots of street parking available. It's off of a busy street and next to Layfayette Hotel.

    With the orange it looks less black.  INEDIBLE

    Obviously, I eat crap food or I wouldn't be ordering for Denny's. But today was just an insult. I get a couple of chunks of chicken that they try to pass off as buffalo wing bites. They're black and I'm not sure what kind of "sauce" with used, but it's not like what I've had in the past. Which is tasty garbage food. This was offensively garbage food. It just makes me sad when you can no longer even get good crap food and now all of it's just plain crap (at an increased price which is apparently a straight line grid - price up, quality down). But do you have to burn the garbage you sell me? That's just insulting.

    Nothing beats a Denny's Grand Slam price. Especially if you're getting a birthday discount.

I am so sad because I can't remember the name of our waitress! She was amazing because she was so ON POINT with everything -- from knowing the details of each menu item, to knowing what "medium+" is for a steak. She was attentive and amazing and shoutout to her! The food and tiny 'tinis were delicious! The steak and fries were such a good deal for $25. I could've eaten two of them, and now that I'm writing this months later, I'm thinking about that meal again. There is also a spot where the live musician plays, which is awesome!

Once seated, though, we sat for about 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. I eventually had to flag someone down just to get water. We then waited even longer for our server to take our order. Because service was so slow, I ordered all of our drinks and food at once since I wasn't sure when we'd see our server again. What stood out even more was watching a couple seated next to us receive immediate attention. They were greeted, served water right away, and the woman was offered a purse hook. Meanwhile, we were sitting there with our purses shoved beside us and weren't offered the same courtesy. It may seem like a small detail, but combined with the lack of attention, it made us feel overlooked. The drinks came out quickly, and the chicken satay and mac and cheese were decent. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out food-wise either. The highlight of the evening was definitely the live music. The performers were fantastic and created a great atmosphere that honestly was the only enjoyable part of the evening.

I also got the sampler that has multiple different things. It was all mashed up in one box. The whipped cream melted on all the savory food. The savory food made the sweet food not great. This place has a VAST difference in service, swiftness, ambiance, and level of customer service compared to the location in Coronado. I literally LOVE the La Jolla location. The workers are always nice, always accommodating, and having common sense. Please fix this as the other location is way better. I'd rather go all the way to Coronado (I work downtown) rather than deal with the bad service and quality of experience that you receive at this location.

The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well!

I just didn't like the grass they put on top!lol The eggs were okay. I added cheese but I barely had any compared to my friends. The cantaloupe was a nice sweet treat afterwards. I tried my friend's meal and they were also good which they also enjoyed their meals overall. I also tried a one of the Bloody Mary flights which was the only tequila shot with pork skin on top. I do not like savory and spicy drinks but that particular shot was decent and was hot sauce for the pork skin. Overall, the experience was nice and the food was good especially for the value.

We put down our name and number after receiving the confirmation text, we decided to walk the market the next street over, that took 20 minutes. We came back and waited and saw other people walk up and be sat to a table instantly. We then asked how much longer it would be we were told 5 minutes. We waited, not a problem. We saw at least 5 more parties walk up and be sat down instantly (we were a party of 3 btw). We asked the hostess yet again, when will we be sat down, at this point we've been waiting for an hour we saw a table be cleaned and yet again another walk up was sat down instantly, that was a party of 4. We asked what the hold up was, one hostess said we can be seated now, we walk in and then she stopped us then asked would we like to be sat outside, we said doesn't matter at this point, she jetted outside and left us just standing there on the inside. I asked her what's going on are we being sat down? She said no wait 5 minutes for a table. At this point we're getting frustrated because why is the organization at this point TERRIBLE, but a walk up is not an issue. I then tell the hostess we've been waiting over an hour and you mean to tell me every walk up gets sat down instantly but not the people who have been waiting on the list, she answers me by saying "yes". After a table is cleared on the inside a hostess tells us to follow her to a table, she then asks how many is in my party when she was the main one who checked us in and saw us waiting the whole time. After all that time, our waiter was running behind so his manager took our order and kept apologizing to us. When we finally get our orders, the food was equivalent as to going into IHOP or Dennys. Nothing stood out, flavor was lacking. At this point we were better off going to Broken Yolk across the street. Customer service and the waitlist system seriously needs major improvement here. Simple manners and accountability lack here as well when it comes to making mistakes. Only thing I liked was my chai latte. Most likely will not come back here.

The interior is super organized, and I loved that they have a full bar area as well. We started with some mimosas, which were fantastic and the perfect kickoff to breakfast.

They were so naturally flavorful and moist that they barely even needed any maple syrup; the combination of the pistachio brittle and vegan buttercream on top was perfect on its own. My friend ordered the Shrimp and Crab Cake Benedict and loved it. He said it was packed with flavor, not dry at all, and didn't taste overly fishy; just perfect in every way. To top it all off, our server was so sweet, checked on us often, and was incredibly proactive throughout our meal. Great food, great drinks, and excellent service. I will definitely recommend to vegans and non vegans.

The atmosphere didn't feel kid-friendly at all--loud, crowded, and not really accommodating if you have children with you. On top of that, the food didn't match the hype. It looked good but the quality just wasn't there, especially for the price. What really stood out to me though was the dynamic in the restaurant. The entire dining area was filled almost exclusively with white customers, while the visible staff roles felt very segmented in a way that didn't sit right. Here's the puzzle: look around the room, look at who is being seen, look at who is serving, look at who is clearing... and then ask yourself why the only person worth looking at wasn't even part of the experience they're trying to sell. Between the atmosphere, the food quality, and that underlying vibe, it's not somewhere I'd go back to.
