    Choconana Pancake Slam®
    Jamie W.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious patio seating, and was able to get a table right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good, and they refilled our drinks a couple times without asking. All the food was standard to Denny's and was fresh. I feel like the sausage links have shrunk over the years, but it was still tasty. My favorite are the choconana pancakes. To my surprise, I got hard boiled eggs which were actually warm and cooked fresh, unlike the typical refrigerated eggs.

    Awesome tv setup for the world cup! The service was also super friendly! The food was good too. Thank you.

    Beautiful presentation

    Service is always wonderful, food is great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We always enjoy eating at this location.

    I'm HAPPY!

    This Denny's has excellent and friendly service. Sat a the bar and right away Mr. Mario-Manager, asked what I wish to drink . Then Alan, came and took my order. To my surprise, not only did they have the regular CHOLULA Hot Sauce but also the GREEN PEPPER one too! That made my day! Mr. Mario, hank you for having an excellent Team! Blessings to All!

    2023 Turkey meal cold but not dry

    I have been going to this Denny's for MANY yrs. Always looking forward to their holiday turkey meal. Unfortunately, last yr. & especially today was a total disappointment. I was served a couple of pieces (not slices) of dry leathery turkey which was smothered in gravy as to conceal the dryness but tough & dry when turned over. I returned it stating I'd been served beef jerky. After another long wait I was served another plate. Somewhat better in the sense that the pieces of turkey had fewer dry patches. Broccoli was cold. total dissapointment, even more so as I now realize the slice of pumpkin pie is no longer included. I'm not one to complain. However, pie aside How Pathetic!

We had the chilaquiles verdes, menudo, side of fries, kids strawberry cheesecake combo. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. It was so good in fact that we decided to add a stuffed dulce de leche French toast that we saw on the menu earlier. I was blown away. I love that it was salty and just sweet enough. It was the best thing I tried. But the the best part of the whole experience was Alma, our server! We didn't even notice we came in hour before closing, and when we did we apologized and she was so kind and told us not to worry and to enjoy our food. She was the last server there and was juggling multiple tables but still managed to be extremely attentive to us. She is so kind and has a great personality. Thank you for everything, Alma! Also big shout out to the kitchen for not closing before the restaurant! They let us add our French toast about 20 mins before closing, which is really unheard of in the restaurant culture of "last calls" 30 minutes before. I loved this place!

They were bland and are considered their best seller. I asked for spicy and they weren't. The service was terrible. No napkins, no creamer, no utensils. We had to ask her for everything. She made multiple trips back and forth which was such a waste of time for her.

Finally a couple weeks go by and we get there with the line not too busy so we wait for about 20 mins in line with only 5 people ahead of us which I felt was a bit crazy but we're already here. Finally we order and get a breakfast burrito and a torta to eat in totaling out to 35$ just between those two items, but hey if it's good who cares right. We notice that there is no assigned seating and we're told to grab a seat where ever we liked so we go to the only table available inside about 10 mins after sitting and waiting for our food one of the waiters comes up to us and tells us we can't sit at the table because it's meant for a bigger party and that there is a table all the way in the back next to the restrooms that we need to move to because they need to save this table in case a big party comes in. I told her that these were the only seats available when we got here and i'd have no problem moving if a bigger party came through however there wasn't anybody waiting in line or ordering so we were gonna continue to wait here. the waitress proceeded to tell me that she doesn't know how else to say this but we aren't allowed to sit there, and we just exchange awkward silence. she gave up after about a minute of telling us to go to the back of the restaurant. All this could be overlooked if the food was amazing so i was really hoping it would be good and then finally after about 16 mins of waiting and being told to move by staff the food comes out. the waiter drops my plate so that it clatters as it hits the table and the nail in the coffin is that the food was honestly borderline bad, burrito lacked seasoning but was smothered in salsa to attempt to hide its mediocrity, it came with two more salsas on the side and chips but the chips were cold and stale unsure if they just gave me old chips because they were upset with me not moving to the back for them or if their chips are always that stale and unsalted. won't be making a return save urself the money and go try any other Mexican place their food will be better and cheaper.

I came in with friends and ordered a pitcher along with several shots. The server, a young white male, brought the shots and only one cup of beer. I immediately told him I had ordered a pitcher, but he insisted I never said that -- even though I had already been charged. To avoid arguing, I told him to just bring a pitcher and charge me again respectfully. He refused and told me I would have to go back and wait in line if I wanted one. When I asked to speak with a manager, he said the manager was unavailable. We later noticed him walking around the patio taking pitcher requests from other customers and bringing them directly to their tables without sending them back in line. We politely asked again, and he said "okay," but repeatedly ignored us, walking past our table multiple times. When my friend followed up, he suddenly claimed he couldn't serve us and again told us to get back in line. There was no clear reason for the difference in treatment. Watching others get served while we were repeatedly refused, despite being respectful customers, made the situation feel discriminatory. As Latino customers in a predominantly Latino community, the behavior came across as biased and unacceptable. It's extremely disappointing because I've supported this place for nearly a decade and had never experienced anything like this before. Unfortunately, this interaction completely changed my view of this establishment. I would not recommend coming here if respectful and fair service matters to you.

The high ceilings, rustic exposed brick, and massive bar setup make for an electric atmosphere when it's packed out with a rowdy crowd. Even when they're slammed for game days, the kitchen holds its own. The duck fat fries are pretty much mandatory for the table--super crispy, well-seasoned, and easy to pick at while drinking. Their empanadas, lumpia, and burgers are also solid, easy crowd-pleasers to pair with a huge craft beer list or one of their whiskey cocktails. Because the energy is so high during watch parties, service can understandably take a little longer than a normal quiet lunch, but the staff handles the game-day rush really well and keeps the drinks flowing. Parking in downtown Santa Ana can be hit-or-miss with meters, but slipping into the Sycamore parking structure right across the street saves you from driving in circles.
