Such a great location right off the 101! The staff is attentive, fast, and friendly. We came for a quick bite before we get back on the 101 and they were fast. We were in and out of there. We got seated and got our drink and order taken right away. They have lots of seating for both big and small groups. They also have a few claw machines which is a nice little touch! read more

The staff here were friendlier than other Denny's, which is why I even gave 3 stars, though it took a couple minutes of standing there waiting at the counter with multiple workers walking by avoiding eye contact before even being acknowledged of my existence. I Ordered on the app, one single kids meal, and it took 40 minutes. It was the middle of the week in BETWEEN rush hours so it seems like it shouldn't have been so long with how little people were there. Food tasted mid as always, but I was expecting a cheap fast meal out of desperation. Nothing exciting in the slightest, just...'edible'. Again, the 3 stars were because AFTER the waiting there, being walked by as if I didn't exist for a few minutes, once they were "ready" to acknowledge costumers again they were actually friendly. If they weren't friendly, this entire experience would have been negative stars. read more

The reviews were not good but my visit was surprisingly good. My friend had the nachos and she said they were great. I got the turkey dinner. It was really good. The turkey was juicy, mashed potatoes were spot on and that garlic toast was crunchy and flavorful. The service wasn't great tho. There was one girl at the counter who was having an issue with something about the customer trying to pay. We stood there for more than five minutes and finally my friend asked if we could be seated. I understand she was busy with someone, but there should be someone else who can step in and seat us. Once we sat down, we waited another five or 10 minutes for someone to come take our order. We almost got up and left, but I'm glad we didn't. Once we ordered the food came fast and it was really good. If you are traveling and want to stop for a a bite consider this Denny's read more

So I go into Denny's on my way to other celebration for my birthday activities for the day. I asked the guy server if he would tell me which meal is included with the grand slam birthday breakfast he said that they don't do that anymore unless I have a coupon so I looked on my app and he looked up my app and found my coupon so I ordered my food. The skies energy level is at a one the girl that's bouncing all over the rest of the restaurant has a nice high energy. Glad to see what can I give you? How can I add to your breakfast, she gave the gentleman in a $.99 ad on something that I probably could've used instead of a $4.99 sourdough order extra to dip my eggs in which when I got my eggs, they were flipped over easy however they were raw still in the middle of both. I switched that out for a scrambled egg which by then my taste buds were already off. I just have to say that this visit to Denny's on Main Street in Santa Maria was a sad birthday meal. read more

We look forward to coming her every week. read more

Went for breakfast this past weekend. Around 7 am.Since I wanted French Toast , I ordered from the regular menu. ( NOT the Sr Menu) There were only three other customers at the time. So, don't get why my food was cold. The sausages were on the cold side.Hash browns lukewarm and French toast the same. Sausages are like Tootsie rolls. And the Bacon is the THIN already pre- made style. I know about the bacon, as I use it occasionally . They cooked a replacement breakfast which was better. *** Also don't understand why they give you three plates for this breakfast. Awkward to eat from. Cost at $23. 4 stars as food was cold, but fixed. Dennys has been my favorite for many years for Breakfast, at other cities that I have lived. Just going to stick to the Sr Breakfasts, less pricey. read more

I always order the chicken skillet when I go to any Denny's. I didn't like this skillet it wasn't as good as usual. it did have enough juice and it needed more flavor. I liked the chicken and size, I liked the amount of broccoli, mushrooms and maybe it was too many potatoes, but not bad. it wasn't sweet enough either. read more

I absolutely love this place. I work odd hours and appreciate that I can get a steak n egg dinner late at night or very early in the morning. The food quality is consistently good and the staff is always so kind to me. It's always a pleasant environment in my experience. read more

Monica was an amazing server and had a lively personality! 10/10. She was very attentive and met all our needs.

Still polite and quick service with a casual ambiance and though many wouldn't think it since we don't expect it, some of the best burgers in town. I know I used to always think of them for their breakfast foods or more sit down diner foods. Their Smash burgers are crispy and juicy with awesome variety (bourbon, classic etc.) You can also order with them thru door dash as either Denny's or the burger den. read more

I ordered the Loaded Veggies Omelet with hash browns and pancakes. It was an enjoyable meal from sit down to paying the associate. Just like I was here 30 years ago. I guess I miss nostalgia. I guess too being in the pandemic you miss things. Service was excellent, I loved the hash browns and catchup best. Vegetables was savory in every bite along with the cheese and egg, I should of ordered links on the side. I need to go out more. read more

Haven't visited a Denny's in years. They used to be a solid place to have a decent breakfast or burger. My wife discovered that they offer a free birthday Value Grand Slam breakfast on your birthday. So I printed out the QR certificate & went to my local Santa Maria Denny's. Fortunately, there were no homeless hanging about. The Value Grand Slam is a very slim at best breakfast priced at $6.99. 2 eggs, bread or biscuit/gravy, and 2 sausage or bacon. Maybe enough for a small child. You can add hash browns for $3. So even though my meal was free, I had to write this review. I am a retired old guy who has lost patience with the degradation of business models, horrific franchisees, and product quality. The product here is just awfull. I asked the server (who was quite nice) about their biscuit and gravy. Was it "sausage gravy"? The reply was "yes". So I ordered biscuit & gravy, sausage links, and scrambled eggs easy. Not real complex. My breakfast plate is delivered to my table & I notice right off that the 2 sausages are 2-2.5" long ... smallest links I have ever seen with no taste. The eggs are cooked medium. But the worst part is that the gravy is the absolute worst I have ever tasted. I was not expecting much, but drywall mud is tastier. Their were small chunks of some meat in the gravy, but definitely not real sausage. Makes a Mc donalds breakfast look legit. I left a tip for the server and wonder how Denny's stays in business. Very sad America. read more

Great service. Friendly staff, and well prepared breakfast. Had the strawberry crepes and over easy eggs, hash browns, and extra crispy bacon. They got the order right on the first time. My dad had the $10 special super slam. Great experience. Five stars read more

I love coming to Denny's for breakfast. My family and I always usually get the super slam for a great price and good amount of food. The service is always so welcoming and attentive. We've also had dinner before but would recommend more visiting during breakfast. Although food and place is amazing, the restroom always need a lil more maintenance. Only reason why I'm not giving it a 5 star. read more

Absolutely wonderful food and service, Laura was very helpful and checked in with us plenty!

Ordered breakfast it was raw, then I just ate it to be done with it. Stay away go to Huckleberry it is better.

4/5 stars only because our waitress was busy and we had to wait a bit longer for our ticket at the end of our meal, and we were tired and wanted to go home and go to bed. Wednesday @ 10:30pm Party of 4 We were seated immediately and our drink order taken within 5 minutes. We ordered food: pancakes, salads, and a one sandwich. Food arrived in an appropriate amount of time and tasted just like you would expect from Denny's. The salads were fresh and HUGE. During the meal our drinks were refreshed often either by our own waitress or another that was close by. The next weekend my husband and I came to this Denny's for breakfast on a Sunday at 10:00am. We decided to sit at the counter instead of getting put on the waiting list and waiting for 15-20 minutes. The waitress at the counter just happened to be the same one that waited on us the last time we were here! read more

I drive a friend to medical appointments near the hospital, and when the appointments are through my friend wants to go to Dennys. While this is not a restaurant I would select for myself, I find myself pleasantly surprised with the quality of the service and the food. Since I'm not a big breakfast eater, I opt for the California Clubhouse with Seasoned Fries. My breakfast companion enjoys perfect pancakes! The pancakes are 8" across with precise formation. If you're a pancake lover, this place is for you! The coffee is always fresh and hot. The staff members are exceedingly friendly and the restaurant is always clean. 4 Stars for the Employees 4 Stars for the Coffee 4 Stars for the Pancakes 3 Stars for the California Club 4 Stars for Cleanliness read more

Mood- Extreme Hunger After working 6 days in a row and the days begin to just roll one into the next you become hungry. Hangry even. In this city, things shut down early and this was a quick option for us as we had to be back up at 5am to do it all over again. Upon entering was quickly greeted and sat down. Drink order was taken immediately as the server could see that we were cold. We laughed as she said " Oh you arent from here" Goodness being from Vegas where it is 114 degrees when I left, and going to work where it is 58 degrees, yes that was a shocker to the body. The server got us all fixed up with hot teas. We opted for 2 All American Slams, and a Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. Everything was very well prepared and brought out quickly.My water was refilled for my tea. I was highly please with how prompt she was. Interior is pretty big. There are 2 sides. Staff were wearing masks to ensure good ol Covid safety protocols. Music was playing in the background. Everything was very clean. Would def recommend this location. - pricing is typical for a Dennys. Staff was very courteous and hospitable. I love great customer service. Location is Main/ HWY 101 - ample parking read more

Very clean, great service and food was good but alittle skimpy. We went to the one in king city, ca

I rarely eat here, but I've been craving their moons over my hammy sandwich. It was very good as usual, and I'm really not an egg person. My son got the same thing and he really liked it too. He did get some mozzarella sticks that were really good also. The waitress was really nice which made it a great experience. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is the hash browns coals have been cooked more. read more

1. Kids Eat Free - the offer advertised on their menu states "2 free kids meals per 1 entree". It is not true. We were told that they're not a participating restaurant for this, despite their big sign on the front of their restaurant advertising they are! 2. We ordered simple meals. A family of 4 came in after us, ordered after us, and got their food nearly 10mins before us. 3. The nachos were soggy (probably sat under the warming lights for too long). They replaced them. 4. Asked for a refill on my soda. 5mins later, still waiting for the refill while our waitress was cleaning tables. 5. Manager comp'd the nachos, which was kind of her. But I honestly didn't care about getting a free adult meal - all I wanted was for our food to be out on time, and the way we ordered it. Was a tough visit read more

This was the absolute worst Denny's I have ever been to. It was Christmas night, and there was a good amount of people there. The silverware was dirty, and the food was not edible. I ordered scrambled eggs and toast. The eggs were not cooked enough, and the toast was cold, and butter not melted. I sent it back. My son had a sandwich and fries. He couldn't eat it either. It was cold, meat tasted old, fries were not cooked. He sent it back. His milkshake was good. My husband had the turkey plate, and he said it was ok. What has happened to Denny's? read more

Service was good, however my pancakes were completely raw and the hash browns were also half cooked.

Service was not the best. They brought out my pumpkin pie in the box. My friend said the water had a weird taste. My other friend said the tea was good. My friend's utensil looked dirty. read more

Wow it was my first time at Denny's and I was not disappointed. Denny's pancakes are so soft and delicious.

So I really try not to complain about stupid shit but we entered this Denny's in Santa Maria and were required to put on masks before they would seat us. The issue was the next people that came in were asked to put on masks but claimed they didn't have masks with so the "manager" look d around and the seated these people without masks. If you're going to have rules stick to them. read more
