I had requested the ice cream be left on the side ( so it would t melt ) and I received melted cream soup with apple crisp on the bottom:/ massive fail ppl read more

Poor Service. Was told 10 minute wait with an actual wait time an hour and 30 min, Was seated and waited another 30 minutes without acknowledgment. Manger was at a table behind us and was apologized to them and said" Some got good service and some got bad service." he also stated when he goes to other restaurants he gets bad service and. maybe it's just his luck. Decided to leave after a totally of 2 hours and still NO acknowledgement. If you advertise in the supportof veterans, acknowledgement goes along way that I might of even waited longer for them to take my order. This is how one of our veterans was treated. #OEF#OIF#ARMY#CAV#EOD read more

Very busy, no management, plan to wait long, get your own coffee and pray your order is correctish....

Great Food terrible customer service. The MANAGER named José FELIX was very arrogant & by mistake he Charge us extra gratuity rather to apply on our BILL. When we notice the mistake he DID NOT TRY TO fix it. He wanted to take care of the Next customer on line. He should KNOW that customer is King. Customer is always right. HE NEVER APOLOGISE TO US OR TURN TO HEAR OUR CLAIMS. I was waiting ON the bench for 30 minutes and never return to take care of us. . He doesnt deserve a even a star. read more

Came here and waited for 30 minutes to get a table for four and it took our waitress 10minies to give us our drinks and didn't come back to get our order we were waiting for another 30minutes.... my husband had to come to her to our waitress and tell her we are ready to order... the manager came to us and took our order... waited another 45 minutes until the food came........... read more

I went yesterday to get a refund for a transaction they charged me twice in error which is fine it happens and i understand places can get busy and short staffed at times but i showed up and stood at the counter and made numerous eye contact with all the employees and no one acknowledged my presence, i asked who handles the cash register and an employee cleaning some dishes just pointed at the waiter who looked at me as i was asking and proceeded to walk around me, i gave it 5 more minutes before leaving but i will be back at much earlier time because i still need my money back, horrible service tho, a simple "I'll be with you in a moment" would have been more than sufficient. read more

I came to this Dennys alone and sat at the little bar area. It took 10 minutes for me to get a menu and 15 minutes more for someone to take my order. Eventually the manager took my order when he saw how pissed I was. The food was mildly cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. They were good about refilling my coffee. read more

Clean, Friendly staff. Great place to stop to eat before heading to shop at the outlets nearby.

Went here with a group of ten (mostly kids) when first asked how many and how many kids menus we needed, we were very surprised to hear the word awesome! Wow really? Never once have we heard that after they know how many kids menus we need haha! Food was good, proportions were big, only downside is even for us this place was too noisy... Even for us, but then again we got a awesome from the begining! So big crowds with lots of kids, you might fit in, date night not so much... read more

I ordered online and received less items than requested. It was an inconvenience receiving less items and paying a lot for my food

Food was bad. Service was okay... you cant ask any better from a denny's... just a tip for the cooks, put more effort into plaiting. The meals look like frozen food. It took them 25 mins to sit a party of 3 and there was atleast 8 tables open. read more

Service and food was good except for the uninvited flies, that were on the window and the 2 that decided to dive into the open (the bottle,had no lid) syrup bottle. When I told the waitress she just gave me a look, like really. Then when our food came and we were brought another no lid syrup bottle, said no fly in this one. I didn't use it... read more

Great Denny's :) I like the food from here pretty good deals :) portions are super good for the price. I love the waffles and the strawberry milkshake! The nachos are amazing same as he mozzarella sticks! The chicken avocado Cesar salad is fabulous! And my server was great! Yesenia gave us an aMaZing services && recommendations of what to order with a smile on her face all the time :) read more

Showed up starving and exhausted on a Saturday morning, got seated way at the back corner of the restaurant. It made us feel like we were forgotten, which it seemed we were as evidenced by the fact that no one came to take our order let alone acknowledge us for well over 10 minutes. It's not like it was too busy as half the Denny's is empty. I Wasn't expecting much but this particular Denny's has more than confirmed the 2 star yelp rating. Our waiter was so so but the only saving grace was our server, he was great our food came out quick and he was extremely courteous but other than that I'd think twice about coming here. read more

My server was very nice he was super busy and did everything possible to get everything we needed. He is the guy in the morning shift. He deserves a raise! read more

Amazing service!! I ordered from grubhub and was charged, but since the restaurant isn't doing that anymore, the manager sent over my food to my location. Ty for going out the way and bringing my food. I really appreciated that!! read more

First time coming to this Denny's and service was good, they took our order fast brought out our drinks. We didn't have to wait long for our food. Only thing I didn't like was there was no one to sit us or greet us at the entrance. read more

Denny's - Strawberry Lemonade is a must have. - American Near Me - San Ysidro, California

Good Denny's and all but there's a lot they need to work on. The little short guy with the glasses is a complete jerk. I came in here one time and I had him as my server. Talk about the worst service ever. He avoided pretty much every request I ever asked him. Now the other servers were gr8 but this guy was by far the WORST. I definitely did like Edwin the server who worked overnights. read more

Service was good Food sucks over cooked and to Top it off the food had a hair never going back my hash brown was burnt that i could pick it up like a tostada read more

Very good service and fast serving! Have been coming here for years. Place is well maintained and clean. It is small but very welcoming. Recommend it ! read more

Probably the most dirtiest Denny's I've ever been to. The service was alright, some of the staff did not look so friendly but our server was quite nice. I had to tell them to refill my drink though. I don't expect A+ service from a chain like this but at least teach employees to look friendly to customers. The place just did not look cleaned up at all. Food all over the carpet. Dusty. 2 stars for the convenience at the time and stomach filling and that's probably the only reason why I'm ever gonna come back to this Denny's. read more

Man listen, the crew I came in on did the damn thing...food was excellent, service was pleasant and the the atmosphere matched...I didn't feel like cooking so I came out...glad I chose Denny's...job well done... read more

Great food and fast service only problem was one of the country fried steak was a little under cooked

It was mine and my best friends bday and we decided to go visit san ysidro. I am a huge Dennys fan and decided to eat there never have been to this location. It was me and my 3 kids and her and her 1 kid. We were seated quickly. It wasn't busy at all. Manager Ruben seated us. Our waiter came and took our order and brought us our drinks. Again we had just came to shop and walk around it was a 45 min drive and kids were hungry. After 30 mins my kids start asking about their food so i tell my friend to go check. the waiter at this point says oh yes let me go check and puts down the bucket of silverware he was carrying. 15 mins pass and he has not returned. So now i get up to check and see him serving the plates in the kitchen. I don't approach him since i see him working on bringing it. Let me just say i have worked 4 yrs in a kitchen really busy one too and know what its like, but than again it was not busy. Finally !!!! food has arrived and i go to take a bite and everything is cold not warm cold. I literally wanted to get up and just leave the food there and walk out but we were hungry. I call over the waiter and tell him that how is it that i just saw him serve it and its cold. He explains that something had happened and the manager let the cook go home due to emergency, but what i don't get is why was my food cold was it sitting there and they just served it. He called the Manager over and explained the story and asked if id like it warmed up at this point its been a hr and a half, and i just want to eat and leave i tell him no and he apologizes and tells me he would apply a discount. At this point i just want to get up and go. The Manager was very rude and took 20 mins to check us out and treated the waiter like it was his fault when the waiter was not at fault. If he was a good manager he would have jumped in the kitchen and done his job making sure everything was done right and customers were happy. At this point i tell him if he thinks this is ok behavior and explain that it was his responsibility to run the kitchen and have back up ready before letting his cook go and or let us know not have us wait over a hr for food and get the food served cold. As soon as i paid the amount due he told me that he didn't have time to argue with me and told me to leave. That shows no interest in customer service. The waiter came outside to apologize for the horrible service and how he had asked manager to not charge me since i did wait over a hr and the food was cold, but he said no how em i not going to charge them. I told him it was fine but that i honestly would never return. My daughter got diarrhea the next day and so did i, honestly who knows how long the food was there waiting, and i am sure he didn't care about food handling safety. I will be calling corporate and hoping they can talk him into being a little more caring about the clients. read more

This is becoming my "go-to" Denny's of the few close by me: clean, new, always friendly, attentive staff. Tonight had the turkey+stuffing+side/cranberry. Excellent! Was expecting salty, it wasn't. The turkey was moist and a good amount (had the 55+), stuffing flavorful, not mushy, cranberry was great quality, mash potato fresh, light, broccoli fresh. I had pulled in thinking "I'd love turkey and stuffing but they probably don't have it" but BINGO, t'is the season! Score. April was great, and I asked her to thank chef for me. read more

25 mins to get a small plate !!!! Wow how frustrating!!! HORRIBLE SERVICE. Just stopped by for a quick bite..never again

Great and fast service, waitress offered specials when ordering food. Food came fast and was very good.

Food is great. Pancakes are always good and can't beat $2 stacks. Eggs in a basket $6.00 my favorite. Today I add bananas and strawberries!!! read more

Great food and fast but excellent service . They will take special request or modify certain things if you ask. Always have a good experience here. The service is great read more

1st off the service at this place was horrible and if it wasn't for the Hostess Maribell i wouldn't have anything positive to say it just sucks that good employees like her have to work in such a poorly managed estalishment . needlesstosay, she could sense that we were beyond frustrated because after we had been sitting down for several mins and not being served or asked what wed like to drink . She walked over from the front register to ask if anyone had came to help us we told her no (as a manager was right next to us the whole time drying of utensils) she then offered to help us out and got us some orange juice and was surprised herself that no one had been to help us so she even took our order and put it in the system right in front of us . All while a manager and other servers/workers crowded around the bar area talking and waiting for the chefs to finish their orders ,not one thinking to ask us how we were or if we needed anything . I could tell the place was poorly managed when i could over hear one of the employees tell another "see this is why i want to transfer to the bonita dennys" i was extremely let down by this place and if it wasn't for MARIBELL stepping in and assisting us i would have got up and left . If visiting this dennys good luck the service isnt up to par read more

See all

I have been to Denny's all over the place... from Cali to Texas and the best service has been here at this Denny's!! A man who's name for the life of me I can not remember was the best waiter!! I finished up my coffee and by the time i set the cup at the edge of the table it was full again. He had a pleasant smile also. He is tall, thin, Mexican, bold and had perfect teeth. The food was served fast hot and tasty!!! read more

This is by far the worst Denny's I've ever been in. It looks dirty and I was sat in front of the kitchen entrance where I could hear and see the dishwasher doing the dishes and the wet messy floor. The table was sticky and it smelled bad as if it was wiped with a dirty cloth. There was a dead fly on the window and lots of dust. I ended up here because I went to visit my cousin who works at American Eagle in Plaza Las Americas, but I wont be going back ever again. Please save your time and money and drive somewhere else this place isn't worth it. read more

Gross, absolutely gross. The carpet hasn't been changed in 100years and it contains the dirt of every patron that's walked on it. The seats are sticky. The atmosphere itself is just gross. Now let me just point out that the service was great. Sean was amazing. But I can't get over the fact that it's disgustingly gross. If we weren't hungry after a 5hr drive I'd go get Taco Bell across the street. Seriously Denny's get your act together. read more

You should have 0 stars! Well I have only wrote two reviews on this but I have to put I have lived in San Ysidro for 20 years! And have gone to the same Denny restaurant since I lived here every time we have gone in the last year or two we have always Encountered issues. This is my story for tonight or restaurant server actually did a good job at first. The it went from dinner and I asked for water and she brought the water then never came back! As my family finished eating they were deciding on dessert? Well 20 minutes no one came we decided to leave went to counter and we see the girl "M" won't mention name and the manager well I guess manager he had a blue shirt? I said to her you never came back we was waiting to get dessert and she said the manager pulled me from the floors and I said who was suppose to check on us? She said the manager? So while the manager was ringing us up I said why did you not check on us we wanted to order dessert he said me (manager Luis) I don't do tables I am a manager of that was the case I would not need workers! In a shocked gaze I said really manager? There should not be any one in higher position that feels like that this Denny has always had problems with getto workers that do not take pride in customer service this saddens me for me and my family are in restaurant and hotel business my daughter is a server hostess and would have never! She was with me and said mom who manages them? I will leave it at that who ever is in charge you really need to spend more time in your business! And to top it they charged us the wrong ticket And Luis that is what he said his name was was in a hurry to get us out. The cooks and dish washers had nothing to do with this the food was good! After reading all the other reviews no one answers Thea bad comments even worse! read more

Denny's - The wrong check ! - American Near Me - San Ysidro, California

This is a great location for a Denny's. Everyone is so friendly and the food is delicious. There is a large parking lot, free WiFi, and lots of seating. read more

We came to try some of the gluten free foods. We decided on the cobb salad really good a it really fills you up. It was really busy for a Monday and it was more of a rush. Not as attentive as other times. read more

SLOW...... Slowest service I have ever received at a Dennys. It took a long time to get menus, drinks, my food and the check. My husband had to actually go up to a server and ask for the check, it was taking so long. My coffee and my food were NOT HOT or even Warm. The server spilled coffee all over the side of my husbands cup and didn't bother to clean it up. The CUSTOMER SERVICE was not good. My silverware and water glass were DIRTY!!! read more

Came in to get out of the noise from the truck. Good service, clean and quiet. Very, very bad wifi, oh well:-/

This was my husband's hang out for early morning paper and breakfast when we were staying at the Motel 6. Also we ate there the night we arrived from a long drive tired and hungry. We had the sweetest waitress in the world and a manager (at least I thought he was a manager) that was wonderful with directions on how to get to the border and where the closest BofA ATM was. The food was okay. Typical Denny's but what did we expect? read more

This is your typical Denny's food that you would get at any other Denny's. This is definitely an interesting location as 70% of the cars in the lot are from Baja, and its easy to forget you are in the US. The waiters will speak to you in Spanish primarily, so its a good opportunity to brush up on those 3 years of Spanish from high school that you've more or less forgotten completely. read more
