Things started out very nice; comfortable, good food, good service, etc then some customers started blasting their own music (with foul language etc) and gambling with dice. Made it difficult for others to converse and get work done on their devices. Waiter refused to address the issue. read more

Just wanted to take my time of day to come here and rant a little about my dining experience here at this specific Dennys location. To start off the wait time during the week are not as long as the Weekend's and the servers working here are all nice and very attentive, as well as the manager Christian he's a very nice gentleman and has a great personality/customer service. The food was excellent nice and hot and I was able to make any substitutions I wanted on my Alaska salmon bc I would rather have the healthier options and i appreciate that they did not turn me down. When it comes to the ambience/the place itself it's pretty good tbh the place is kept nice and tidy and all tables are cleaned right after someone leaves. There are no unwanted interactions and definitely no homeless walking inside the building. Bathrooms are kept nice and clean and if for any particular reason they're not you can just let the manager know and something will be done. Don't hesitate to stop by this iconic Dennys location where Nvidia was founded and later became to be a trillion-dollar company. read more

Horrible service they took our name, we were waiting to be seated. We were waiting for a while then another group came they waited for a bit a then they sat them down, while we were still waiting. Never going back because this isn't the 1st time this happens. read more

This was by far the worst Dennys I've ever been too. They only had one waiter working & so he was running around trying to get to everyone & not having time to pay attention to anything. Including orders. He brought us a grand slam when we ordered a grilled cheese. It took 10 minutes to get his attention to tell him. Finally we told him it was the wrong order & then he brought the sandwich we ordered. It was cut in half & one side had no cheese at all. We tried to get his attention, but couldnt. He was too overwhemed. I had had it by then so we left read more

We came here on New Year's Day and we were very pleased with our experience at this location. The servers were so friendly here and ensured that we received everything we ordered. One of the servers even apologized for the wait but made sure we got seated and placed our order as soon as she came by our table. Maria was super friendly as well as we exchanged a pleasant conversation. Food was delicious. They even cooked my eggs perfectly of how I liked them; over-hard. Will be coming to this location again! read more

food is so good and the service is excellent! The price is reasonable and everyone is very friendly. Thank you Denny's for nice experience!

Good, mediocre food when you just need somewhere to sit. Everything tasted quite average and cold, but the server was really nice and sweet. The pancakes were a little tough and cold but the butter on top was nice. It was cool just eating it with maple syrup but it wasn't the most tastiest. The bacon and egg combo was also alright. It was also a bit cold but it was enough. The plate my brother got tasted ok but the fruit salad had strange composition. Overall it was a very average experience. I also ordered a tea and it was nice drinking it and sitting there. Our waitress was really cool though. The total came out to be around 50 bucks for two plates of food and two drinks + taxes/tip. Overall I'd recommend Redding's one and only Blackbear if you're down for a further drive. read more

I have been occasionally eating dinner at this Berryessa location for about a year. The hispanic waiter that works in the early evening is unfriendly, rude, unwelcoming and extremely slow. I went there this evening around 5:00PM. There were two other tables with customers. We weren't seated for several minutes and we had to request menus. Once seated, we waited for over 10 minutes and this waiter never came to our table to take our order. Again, there were only 2 other tables that had people seated. So, we chose to leave and Denny's lost a sale and a customer. I have decided to never eat at this Denny's again. This waiter must hate his job as evident by his regular poor and unfriendly attitude. I don't know how this person keeps his job because he is clearly the worst waiter I have experience in my life. I have read several of the other reviews on this location and some are good buy many state similar issues to what we have experenced. I WOULD AVOID GOING TO THIS LOCATION ! read more

I wish i could give zero stars. This place is disgusting. Workers r rude and give attitude. They took nearly two hours to get us our food and once we got it was cold. The plate came w broccoli stained pieces read more

Getting seated is an adventure. It always takes at least five minutes even when there are plenty of tables available. The reason is that this Dennys is always understaffed. You have one, maybe two servers running themselves into the ground, trying to keep up with all the tables they have. The service is decent though, the servers are friendly and helpful but everything takes a long time so don't come here if you're in a rush. The food is standard Dennys fare, diner food that is a step below a mom and pop operation but good enough. Inside, you'll probably have a harmless, unhoused (homeless) person walking around aimlessly, but that's expected for the area. read more

The food was very good. My salad was really fresh. The store manager gave me a good service. Food was served quickly.

I haven't been back to this location in years since the last experience was terrible. However, I decided to give this location another try today so I got my birthday month Free Everyday Value Slam for lunch from here. Although it is Friday, there were no wait line, parking was easy, and ordering was straight forward. I waited 12 minutes for my order and was out the door soon after. Looks like they renovated the seats as there are now high partitions in between booths. The taste of the food was as expected and enjoyable from what you would get from Denny's. I got French toast, sausage, and scrambled eggs. read more

Gerlie was an amazing waitress her service was excellent also her service of food was very fast. The ambiance superb it was clean and organized I would have never have the words to experience my time at Denny's. read more

We haven't been to Denny's in quite some time for dinner but decided to stop at this Denny's due to its convenient location. The menu has changed quite a lot and our server seemed annoyed that we didn't know that our simple requests were not available. Once our order was delivered, he seemed to avoid us, never asking how the food was or if we needed anything else. I had to go to the cash register to await my bill even though he brought checks to other tables. The restaurant was not busy. Only five booths were occupied! My wife's senior salmon was greasy along with dry roasted potatoes. She opted for the side salad which was just okay in content and size compared to previous side salads. She also had to ask for more dressing due to the minuscule amount she was given with the salad! My "melt" was okay. I've had better at other restaurants such as Holder's and Effie's. Our son had the "Grandslam" breakfast which he enjoyed. We will not be patronizing this Denny's but will continue to go to others but just for breakfast not dinner! read more

It's been a while since I've been back to Dennys! But I've been here twice this year and I had a really good experience compared to the last ones a decade ago! I usually bring my son here to have breakfast & the staff is really accommodating. I can tell management really cares about their customers :) I know it's a big fast food chain but this one feels like it's family owned & it's comforting all the same. Food was also bomb as well, no complaints there! read more

Sunny is the best server. Very attentive and hard working. Fast service and good food

Been going here the last 30 years and the service got worse and worse ... but today it was the worst ! Burnt my French toast , sent it back and the replacements wasnt even cook - thumps up to the chef for making a statment and pissing offthe customer . Worst thing is the manager knew about it and talking crap about the customer - I can hear you . Management need to have a deep review on their staff. Won't be coming back for awhile ! read more

It's my first time here at this place and I liked their service, their food is clean and delicious, I will come back again . Thank you Maria the manager of the store for your very good service with us read more

Saddest build your own grand slam ever. For $14 you'll think you'll get more bang for your buck. You can get this much at jack in the box for half the cost. I use to go to dennys in my early 20s every time in the am after the bars but times haven't changed and dennys hasn't. Sadly it's one of the only places that opens late enough for you to get a sit down meal. The service was good but that was about it. read more

I am disgusted beyond comprehension. I am here at 5 PM October 28, 2024 came in the freaking place was dirty. The tables were disgustingly dirty . I had to bring in my own sanitizer to wipe down the tables then ordered our food. I asked for my steak and eggs to be Well done came out to bloody steak, bleeding all in my eggs and all over my potatoes. I asked him to take it back and re-cook it brought it out a second time still same crap server, then apologizes and says that the Cook doesn't speak English, which is bullshit.!! I tell you what if I end up getting sick I'm suing you guys's ass. Somebody better come in here and tighten up the shit. read more

Just finished having dinner with my best friend and her boyfriend. As we arrived we got seated immediately and everything was fine at the beginning the service was ok and brought everything we asked for. I ordered the Brisket Mac and cheese and honestly this shit was fucking burnt like almost charcoal looking like pieces. The Mac and cheese was not even that good, only took a couple bites and just stopped eating it. When we notified the server and told him that the brisket was burnt, his response was "next time if you come in, this is how brisket is". Sir, there was no meat to bite into. It was literally black and I have a picture of it so please judge for yourself. The server was also rude to me and my friend when she was trying to pay. read more

Worst dennys experience ever. My family and I come after a grieving to this dennys n never had a problem. Until today. We talked in as a party and waited 40 minutes just for waters had to go up four times and watch them make the drinks. Starving kids and a rude manager. Maria is the manager who kept ignoring us and just so rude. I am a server I serve tones of parties at the same time and always brought drinks out no less than five minutes especially all water. By far never coming back and so disappointed with the way everything was handled read more
