Our server Nereida, was nice and checked on us a few times. Our food was luke warm, and my scramble eggs were a little runny! My husband's omelette did not look appetizing, we didn't like how they just put a slice of cheese in the omelette! Definitely did not enjoy our breakfast! We went to this particular Denny's because it showed to be 3 1/2 start a little higher than other Denny's in the area. We would not return to this Denny's. read more

So four of us had finished a meeting and decided to go get something to eat. We settled on Denny's since it was close. The server Julius was very attentive from the start and came back often to check on us. Everything we asked for he was able to provide. The restaurant had the usual diner ambiance but the server more than made up for it. We will be back. read more

Independently owned Denny's. 6/28/2019. Friday morning. Went here with my daughter. Lots of parking in the rear. Good job to our server Susan & other staff for taking care of us. Choose our breakfast from the Value Menu. Note: There are other menus with plenty of choices. One of the best deals in town. $2 for 2 pancakes (for my daughter). $4.79 for Biscuits & gravy for me. Susan ensured my coffee mug was topped off & checked if we needed anything. The other gentleman took the plates & silverware when we were done (which I like). Overall, it was a great experience. We will be back again. Thank you! Salute. read more

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once. There were tons of fun brunch drinks listed on a cute, record-shaped acrylic menu, although the coffee options were pretty limited. The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

Books & Records Delivers Live Jazz, Standout Cocktails, and Exceptional Happy Hour Bites…read moreAs a fan of Common Stock, expectations were high for its Bankers Hill sister spot, Books & Records--and it easily delivered. The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.

This Dennys has got the be the worst one ever! The service is slow and the old Manager lady.. I'm guessing her name is Tanya from what I've seen in previous posts. I was here with my bf and our family eating and I speficially asked for the regular size BLT and not the bacon lovers which I have gotten form other dennys and this one plenty of times. The guy who was taking our order said ok, then as we were placing our other orders I heard him mention he was new. I was like ok well then we can't be too mad at this guy for the mistakes. But when I got the bill it was surley the more expensive BLT which I speficially asked for it to be the regular size BLT and the sandwhich itself was not full of bacon so I thought nothing of it plus I added avacado and there was like a little sliver on each half, that's it. The old lady came over adn asked us how everything was and I told her I had an issue with my bill. Told her I speficially ordered a regular size BLT with avacado and she told me well that's not possible we only have the one sieze. I told her I have been to multiple dennys and this one which I ordered the regular size blt for 6.49 with no problems. She then said I'm sorry but that's not true. I told her yes it is and she refused to change it and I told her well I'll be sure to NEVER eat here agin since you false advertise and todl her the waiter should have told me that when I ORDERED! I don't care if he's new plus that should have been a reason to change the bill in itself. This olf lady need to get off her fat butt and do her job. So many losers who work in hospitlaity shouldn't be there and this jerk is one of them. Haven't you ever heard the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!! An I wasn't even lying!! This lady needs to be stripped of her job and have some other person run this show because the service is slow the waiters don;'t know the menu and it's super tiny. When we first came she tried to give a half booth and we have 3 teenage boys with us my man, his mother and I.. Are you kidding me then when I said that table doesn't look big enough she gave me a dirty look as if I was an idiot for asking. I tell you when I'll take over the franchise and we'll see a big turn around.I work in hospitality so I know good and bad service when I see it! read more

Unfortunately, I will only provide 1 Star (because it is required to post review), due to feelings and disappointment!! My most recent visit today on father's day, inspired me to remove this past review and mention how this location has totally changed their emphasis on pricing and making money with total disregard to the customers who keep this Dennys in business, especially to me as a customer for over 27 years at this same Dennys location 2445 El Cajon Blvd. San Diego, CA 92104. They totally removed the 55+ (Seniors) Selection on the menu, while we Seniors have limited incomes and spending privileges! They also, abolished the 2,4,6,8 Dollar menu, which again, is most favorable for low income folks, young and old!! I have been told by employees there on several occasions during my visits, these changes are mandated by Dennys Corporate! So, I contacted Dennys Corporate via emails and found their statements not to be fully substantiated! So, to be fair, I informed at least three (3), of the employees today, that know me, that I will frequent the other San Diego Dennys, that I can count on to provide fair pricing that customers look forward to receive!! Long time Customer here at this Dennys on El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92104. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Denny's and I must say, the experience was delightful from start to finish. The restaurant had a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met promptly. The menu offered a wide variety of options, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. I opted for the classic Grand Slam breakfast, and it did not disappoint. The pancakes were fluffy, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous, providing excellent value for the price. What truly stood out to me was the quality of the food and the speed of service. Despite being quite busy, our meals were served hot and fresh in a timely manner. The coffee was consistently refilled, and the waitstaff checked in regularly to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Overall, my visit to Denny's was exceptional.

We stopped at this Denny's late at night after returning from Los Angeles, expecting a quick and reliable meal. Unfortunately, our experience was not what we hoped for. Our party of four was initially seated at a booth clearly designed for two people. When we requested a larger booth, the response from staff felt less than welcoming. We then ordered drinks, including shakes for the children. However, the shakes contained small particles that resembled sesame seeds or oatmeal. This was concerning, and the children refused to drink them. While the manager did remove the shakes from our bill, our appetite was already gone. Another concern was that our server, who was otherwise polite, had visible open wounds on his hands with partially covered bandages. This raised significant food safety and hygiene concerns. Ultimately, we decided to leave without finishing our visit. While I appreciate the manager addressing the shake issue, the overall experience left us hesitant about returning to this location. read more

To all my fellow not Americans people. Of course I had to go to a Denny's and try it since it's sooo "famous" in California. Guess what mf, during a calm and friendly night at 11pm, decided to go eat there with friends just to enjoy life because why not? You only have one life to live right? Okay coolcoolcool. So, went there, ordered fries because they sounded good, and fries are always a safe choice when people tell you Denny's make not american people sick. So, got the fries. They tasted good enough for fries and was happy to proceded to go back to the hotel to have a great night sleep in my opinion. Well well well, hell to the no! My guts just exploded and they shit themself all over the toilet. Plz, if you're an not American people, don't go there, you'll get sick and just empty your whole body until you only feel emptiness and loneliness. Sincerely, a girl who got the worst night ever and got so sick. read more

He had brown hair was pretty tall & had a very cute smile. He was very generous & kept checking on us to see how we were doing ! Will most definitely come back again. read more

This is an interesting place. A fun late-night destination, but not so late that you get all the drunks coming in, who can be quite obnoxious. The food is... well... Denny's... and the service is about the same. It's not the cleanest place, but it's not gross. Really it's just a stop for the kitsche factor. read more

This place exceeded all my expectations. The menu offers a great variety, and everything we ordered tasted outstanding. Portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. The staff clearly care about quality and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food. read more

Mimi's Cafe

From the time I started to set foot in here, up until I started to become an absolute regular, I've…read morehad nothing but good to great experiences every time I come here. The food is pretty decent if not outright DELICIOUS, the service is great, the staff is wonderful, and since there are Mimi's Cafes statewide that had already closed down en masse this year, it's really worth coming here for a nice, relatively more affordable breakfast, lunch and even dinner. They are mostly very busy during the morning, but the lunch and dinner rushes are often quiet (sometimes their lunches are packed), which is very concerning, considering the climate (not meteorological, but rather *economic*) throughout Southern California, *including San Diego proper*. They have pretty good specials, ranging from their seasonal offerings to their lunch and dinner specials. I had a helluva time enjoying their Tres Leches Pancakes whenever I'm willing, and they have some proper delicious coffee and coffee drinks. Their dessert options are also delectable, some of which are very indulgent in my book. There isn't very much to complain about, really, and I'm one to nitpick at times and also have a keen eye for the finer details. The only complaint I really have, is... well... I'll get back to you on that one. Overall, a solid 4/5 stars. I'm not sure why I'm not giving them a 5/5.

I ordered Hickory Smoked Bacon and Scrambled Eggs with Breakfast Potatoes as well as your choice of bread. Sourdough is always my choice. It goes for $17.99. This morning, I also ordered a Cookie Butter Latte. It was sweet and a great balance to all my savory breakfast items. I really enjoyed my breakfast and nothing was too try or overcooked. As usual, I ordered to go so the food was made quickly and was hot. I always appreciate friendly and fast service. The restaurant looked very clean. Mimi's Cafe also gives you a family morning breakfast place vibe that you can also get mimosas. That's on my list of things to try next from there.

Appetite has everything you need from refrigerated sandwiches, grab and go salads, yogurt cups, juices, fruit, protein bars, etc. I too, did stop by for my lunch and ordered a 1/2 sandwich 1/2 soup combo. You can choose from any of their sandwiches! I got the Steak Melt and Maryland Crab Soup. It was hearty and kept me satisfied for lunch! I think soups are popular, so some may run out after lunch. I agree this is the ultimate lunch spot for the surrounding workers in the building and area, so do expect a wait time of 15-20 minutes if you do order upfront. Great choices and a nice variety of food, energy drinks, and coffees! The staff was helpful in suggestions when I mentioned it was my first visit, and gave me a menu to take back.

Honestly it was my first time at Burger Lounge and it was pretty nice. You order at the front and…read morethey ask you if it's for here or to go. I had it "for here," and was given a number plaque card. My friends all had the different flavored lemonade so safe to say it was refreshing and worth the price. I chose the $11.80, Lounge Burger: a grass fed burger with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and Burger Lounge 1000 Island sauce. I asked for no onions. I liked that their cheddar cheese wasn't salty unlike other places. The burger was pretty good and I like that they used fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The bun, wasn't my preferred -- felt like wheat or something. But it seems like that's what their brand is going for? They have lots of options for keto friendly, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc! They actually have servers that ask you how the food is, anything else they could get for us, etc. It was surprising, but very nice. I shared some fries with my friend and the fries were delicious! I like that they kept the skin on some of them which added a nice texture while the interior was fluffy. Next time, I would make a combo for sure. It was very clean and organized at this location. I would recommend this spot, just note the prices are slightly elevated compared to a casual burger space.

The burger was greasy and ice cold; onion rings were cold. So incredibly gross, I'll never eat…read morehere again!

I was actually surprised that we were seated right away. Our waiter was friendly and took our orders pretty quickly. I ordered the Biscuits & Gravy with sausage. The biscuit was a little dry, even with the gravy, but I really enjoyed the hash browns since I requested them extra crispy. The portion was pretty big, so I ended up taking half home to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. Nothing like getting two meals out of one order. My husband ordered the burger and requested extra veggies, and he was a happy camper. Our friends also enjoyed their skillet and Eggs Benedict. Overall, we had a hearty and satisfying meal here. After a 5K, our bellies were definitely happy and refueled.

She mentioned they are now going to be open for SD Broadway now.

He then threatened to ruin the shop with his review. I'm not sure what happened prior, but nothing would prompt someone to steal a sign.
