If you are not "brown", you will not get waited on. We left after the waitress in our section only waited on those that spoke Spanish. We wasted 20 minutes of our morning to try to get breakfast before heading to the airport. Highly disappointed. read more

Good burger. Good sides. The bourbon sauce was a bit too sweet. Oh, and no straws. Go to disposable cups if you're not going to use straws. read more

Denny's - It's Dennys. Without straws. What else to say? - American Near Me - San Jose, California

The food was great service was ok restaurant needs to be updated. Was close to the hotel I was staying at

Went to Dennys in San Jose on 08/28/2022 at 12:15 AM. So many mistakes. Let's begin. #1. I ordered the kids Chicken Strips and Fries. Got the Chocolate Chip Pancakes instead. #2. I ordered the Senior Starter. No Pancake included. #3. Ordered regular Grand Slam. Toast was burnt. #4. About 5 minutes before my food was ready I asked the host for hot sauce and sugar free syrup. Took my meal to my hotel and no hot sauce (Cholula). Also, this is classic, I checked the bag before I left and it only had regular syrup. The host then went to the end of the counter and there was no sugar free syrup. A couple walked in and he told them "I'll be with you in a second" He had so much trouble opening up the bottle then another couple walked in and the host said "I'll be with you".....then another guy walked in. "I'll be with you"..........the phone kept ringing....and ringing...... read more

I would give it 0 stars if I could. We waited about 1.5 hours to get our food which was incomplete because they 'ran out of ingredients'. They didn't want to substitute the missing items for anything else. The young waiter was extremely rude. We should've gone to McDonald's since these were the only two restaurants open at midnight. read more

Was my First time to eat at this location, not only the weather is good but DENNYS was even better. The manager Chona was very kind and friendly and the server RED was amazing, made sure our food was delicious and the place was clean and I will definitely come back again when I visit San Jose. read more

The food is way too grease and no horrible and it takes 45 minutes for 2 cheeseburgers and we paid 18 dollars

Denny's by the airport! We hardly ever go to one, but hey this Denny's makes a perfect omelette and the eggs over medium cooked right. Service was spot on. I'm saying this is the best Denny's ever. read more

Food was fine, but service was very slow. Was the staff playing instead of working? Oh, no...someone really messed up the schedule and left ONE waitress for the entire place when they were expecting a party of twenty in addition to the rest of us who just wanted a quick dinner. The waitress was nice, but you could tell she was rattled. read more

It all started with a waiter names "Jose". I love coming to Dennys, but since the moment I stepped into the restaurant, joses bad energy just consumed the whole place. I was not feeling comfortable my stay at all. Jose needs training in service, customer service, waiter skills, professional on the job attitude. Jose needs a lot of work, I have never seen him here before, most be new, hope he gets the training he needs. He can go places if he only puts his arrogant personality away from the job. read more

Soooooooooooooooo.................I:00 this afternoon I stop by for some soup again (close to work) They are completely out of soup during lunch time. The girl says I can wait while they make some more so I ask how long that will take, she says an hour......very snippy and very different from my experience last week! Seriously 1:00 on a cold day at lunch time and already out of soup!!!! read more

If I could give zero stars I would and on top of that I'm not even one to really write reviews but this is hands-down the worst Denny's I have been to Food was just throwing together ranch is water down then my order was wrong and the lady tried to tell me I had to pay for something that I didn't even order when I ordered over the phone she asked me and I told her specifically what I want and then the order was still wrong and she told me because she couldn't take it off that I had to pay for it it was just a big whole thing like the workers in there are just really young they are not really doing their job They look at you crazy when you ask for something I just would never be returning to this Denny's And the sad part is I actually eat Denny's a lot next time I'm in town I will be driving out my way to a different one before returning here smh read more

I'm a fan of Denny's going way back. Glad to see this one did not disappoint. Service was great, and the food was pretty decent. One minor irritation is the menu has become overly complicated, plus there's a secret value menu on the back of the dessert menu. The build-your-own slam option is pretty straight forward, and it has been brought to my attention that I'm just easily annoyed. read more

Friendly staff but very distracted. Food and drinks took a very long time to get to us.

I've been to my share of Dennys and always know to expect less than service and food. But was i pleasantly surprised at this Location. We ordered blueberry pancakes(fresh blueberries wow!),Spaghetti, grilled chicken sandwich, kids chicken on a stick and everything was delicious! No complaints here, only empty dishes! And freshly brewed coffee nice and hot!! Major kudos to our waiter "Red" and staff, everything came out fast, hot and delicious! Definitely will return when in San Jose! read more

See all

Very good to have a hot chocolate at midnight~ Stay here for a while and feel free~ Ok~Find a warm place in winter~ read more

Denny's - American Near Me - San Jose, California

The smell just about knocked me out when we walked in. Overpowering stench! Don't know what it was. Like, a combo of stale, mildewy air and bad body odor. Wonder if they have mold? It was gushing rain out or I would have told my sweetie we had to go somewhere else. I just didn't feel like getting drenched again, but that was a decision I ended up regretting. Sure wish I could give more than two stars because the server, Manuel, was so nice. But according to Yelp, three stars means "A-ok" and the food wasn't. My eggs were undercooked, and the toast was burnt. I couldn't finish my eggs and barely ate any toast. Ordinarily I'd have sent it back, but I didn't want to keep sitting through that smell. My partner enjoyed his food and the smell didn't bother him much. I can say that my hash browns were wonderful. It was not crowded for breakfast on a weekend morning, but maybe that was because it was pouring rain out. I don't know how it usually is. This was our first visit to this location in years. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Just walked out of this Denny's. We were seated right away, however we seen a few people get seated and got their drinks before us. We waited 15-20 minutes and nobody ever came to at least get our drink order. Never again will I come to this Denny's. Poor service and nobody even noticed we left. All of the employees seemed to be standing around talking to each other!! read more

You can't go wrong with Denny's - consistently decent, no-frills food at wallet-friendly prices. I always go for their breakfast menu - everything is good, and cooked exactly to order. Coffee is above average too. The service may not be overly friendly, but in my experience it is always prompt and efficient. It's a shame there isn't a Denny's closer to where I live : / PS I wish the bacon had choked you to death, you bastard. read more

If I could choose ZERO stars, I would. Leaving the establishment now, September 8, 2018 at 10:50AM. My boyfriend & I waited for 30 MINUTES to have our order taken. He had even went up to the front to remind them that we were ready. NO ONE came to serve us. We felt INVISIBLE. Bad form! Terrible customer service! The worst Denny's we've ever been to! read more

4 stars...but 4 stars on the Denny's scale. Not comparable to other restaurants, really. There are few restaurants open late night (at least that I know of) so Denny's is kind of a default location. The Denny's menu...always disappointing. Especially for a vegetarian; every single breakfast item comes with bacon and sausage. They did sub pancakes for me though, so I got exactly what I wanted. Our server tonight was particularly good. He brought hot sauce to the table without a request, and brought my friend numerous refills of the Fusion drinks...which we were under the impression did not come with refills. It may be Denny's, but it blows the IHOP down the street out of the water. read more

The server was a nice guy and apologetic for how slow it was. I think his name was Sid. Juan working the cash register was in his own world. Slow, unresponsive, and really shouldn't we seating or taking money. First and last impressions are important. The manager or lead was even worse. read more

You never know what you are going to get as far as customer service. Our server Jose came and greeted us at the door and took us to our seats. He asked us how we were and took our drink order! He was amazing! Incredible customer service that will definitely bring us back!!!!! The manager that was on duty was awesome too! People don't realize how important customer service is, but today at this Denny's that was the priority! Thank you for giving us a smile & a great start to our 8 hr drive home!!!!!!! & the food was incredible too!!!!! Delicious!!!! read more

The staff here are super nice. I love coming to this Denny's because my favorite servers are here. Shruti and Humira are the best! They really take care of you here, as well as take care of their restaurant. It's so clean here compared to other Denny's I've been to. The location is great too because its right next to the airport. Great spot to go to before or after a flight, especially since it's open 24hrs. read more

This is probably the worst dennys I have ever stepped foot in. The service was slow. My group was more than patient. It took 30 minutes for them to take our orders and another 50 before we left for Jack in the Box. Our water did not even come out. I decided to take matters into my own hands and get water. I walked to the back, grabbed a couple glasses and filled them with water and fucking waited on myself. Ignacio our server was nowhere to be found. The kitchen was quiet and had no one leading the service. No one was talking or communicating. Our group had enough and just left. I am in the car right now enjoying my fucking jack in the box. Does it seriously take over an hour to cook some fucking eggs and bacon? read more

Decent food. Coffee is stronger than typical diner coffee so that is a plus. Service was prompt and attentive. Food quality was mediocre which is what I expect from a Denny's. Edible food plus strong coffee, what more do you need? read more

This Denny's is ... weird. I went in the other day for something I consider an excellent dish, the $8 "cowboy chopped steak" thing that has onion rings on top, with two sides, always order spinach and broccoli. A fairly healthy meal at Denny's, how about that? So I went in, the waiter sat me right next to a family with noisy young kids (restaurant was almost empty) I re-seated myself further away, and ask for the dish and the waiter looked at me oddly and said, "We don't do that any more". I got up and looked at the front of the place, Yep the $2, $4, $6, $8 banner is still across the front window, doesn't take much time to scrape the paint off either. But ... "We really don't do that any more". Uhh, OK. I walked out. Maybe only "participating" restaurants do the promotional deals, I dunno. It was just weird. read more

Terrible! Seated at a sticky table, after 20 minutes and several attempts to get the staff to even bring water with no results, we left. There were several other families still waiting and the staff was almost nonexistent. As we left the person standing at the cashier's station looked at us but made no attempt to speak, gesture or otherwise acknowledge our presence or departure. Appeared to be very understaffed, but maybe 1/3 capacity of customers. read more

I am starting to make this my favorite Dennys for lun check time fare. I've already been here numerous times (double digits) for lunch. Everythint is clean, ordered and the food has been just perfect. In the local area, you have options, but lunch gets busy. This Dennys has never let me down in terms of wait time, fast and efficient. Now a special shout out to the wait staff, Ener in particular. They are attentive with the coffee, bring extra napkins as needed, are there when you need them and fade into the background when you don't. I don't feel rushed here, comfortable. I can read my paper in peace and get some great service and a wonderful value for food. Don't need a $3 coffee from down the road, and a $6 sandwich, for lunch. I can come here, walk out the door relaxed and full for under $10. Great people and place. read more

In giving this Denny's 5 stars because it deserves 5 stars! As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted and sat right away. Our waitress "Ana V" was a total sweet heart and on top of her customer service. She was quick to serve and very friendly. We were first skeptical of this Denny's because of the location but it turned out to be a wonderful experience! I will be coming back no doubt! read more

Some nice folk. Never crowded. Good strawberry shakes. As for the food... Well.. It's Denny's. read more

I can't really complain about this location. This place is a regular eatery for a guys night out with the fellas. Service is friendly and food comes out pretty quickly. The food here satisfies any drunken hunger. And that's impressive with a staff working after 2am in the morning! read more

Went for breakfast on last weekend. The service was excellent at this location. I ordered the usual veggie omelette which was just OK. The vegetables inside it were oily and were fried more than necessary. Hash browns were good as always. read more

I am unfortunately staying near this Denny's and every time I go here my order gets screwed up .yesterday I ordered two everyday slams with bacon was no butter r syrup mustard and ketchup I was given also they gave me no bacon they want the customer to come back right away it's just a waste of time go to another dennys read more

I came here to eat with my mom and daughter and Jose the server was extremely nice!! He helped us order and was really helpful and was checking up on us constantly to see if we needed anything! Jose was great! read more

It's Denny's. No big deal. The service is pretty quick and the food can be better. But I usually don't expect too much. Favorite things I like to order: the Slam burger, the Country Fried steak, the Sampler, the Grand Slam and the French Toast Slam. You can't go wrong with these. The area is a bit questionable and the crowd is sometimes strange. But for a good 24 hour/ late night eatery, it pulls through. I prefer this one over others because it doesn't pack in all the drunkards straying from downtown. If only Norm's could move up North. But until then, I think Denny's will do just fine. read more

great late night spot, they have a meeting room that can fit 20-30 people works good when you have a large crowd at 3am! If Luis is still working nights there, he is the man! read more

So it's been like 4 months since I came here and I still remember our waitress' name! Anna was absolutely off the hook! She took care of our table of 8 at 12am while half of us were drunk and stupid. She was super patient and super sweet! As far as the food goes, eh well it's a Denny's and you can't really expect more than what you pay for. Thanks for the awesome experience Anna!! -the crazy group that ordered all kinds of random things NOT on the menu:) read more

WHAT can u say about Denny's? Any who complains about Denny's probably shouldn't be there in the first place! Late night eats..... early morning eats.... looking for a cheap eat or ur a cheap date... THIS is the place!!! When I order my breakfast at 7, 8, 11pm... I don't care that my bacon is small than the size of a pencil! I don't care that all the waiters are really hard to understand and can never get my order right! All I care is that it's fast... it's cheap... and if I really cared about the food I was eating at THAT moment... I would go somewhere else! This particular Denny's is never packed...even on a Sunday afternoon when all us church people are starving..... the staff is always nice and seat you fast..... hey they even have a little stuffed toy machine the sucks in alllll your dollars and quarters AND u never get a prize! Now THAT'S service!!!! ;o) (though I've won a couple time...) Shall we dine????? read more

Denny's is not my #1 choice for breakfast but since we haven't been here in awhile we thought it's a good place for breakfast as a family. We were seated promptly. Our server was attentive and courteous. The wait time for our food was OK; not super fast, but not too long either. Food was good for being Denny's. This Denny's is so much better than the other one down the street, both in service and quality. Parking is plentiful in the rear. read more
