For me, Denny's is an irresistible restaurant (not to mention the nearest where I live). I've been going to the place for the past 20+ years and the customer service and food is always great when I'm there. It's even been a great and satisfying experience for my family. Pat is always determined to make sure we have what we want and Pablo has a great sense of humor. Both of them and the rest of the team do a great job everyday and are way more prepared than even a regular customer. To be continued! read more

I was invited to join several of my friends to have (for me) a "pre thanksgiving meal " . the service was professional, friendly, and fast. (One of my friends is a regular there, since the server knew who he was ). The food/coffee was delicious/hot. and always refilled. And the restaurant was quite crowded. Just wanted to put that out to them. Thank you!!! read more

This is by far the worst Denny's ever. We went there on 12/07/14 because it was the closest Denny's to our hotel and it was a bad choice. The inside smelled bad but we were hungry so we decided to stay. The bathroom floor was dirty, the bathroom walls were dirty, the toilet was nasty and there were no seat covers. (I didn't let my 8 year old daughter use the restroom because of how nasty it was). We ordered a pitcher of OJ and it was warm, we had to get ice in order to drink it. I ordered a lumber jack with wheat toast. I received white toast, I returned it and received burnt wheat toast in return. I returned it again and ask for fruit instead and they gave me grapes. My husband's food was cold and my daughter said her food tasted bad. The waitress was nice though. They still had some Halloween decorations. We will never go there again. read more

I ordered some Burgers and Salads today for me and my girl from Dennys in Van Nuys and I got foood poison. I've ate a different Dennys before and I've always been fine, but this time I had a burger from the one in Van Nuys and not only me but my girl's stomach was feeling weird too. It was the worse I was sweating and felt horrible and like it wasn't going to go away. Well right now as I am writing this review I still feel the pain in my stomach but not as much as in the morning time when I was sweating. I've been a Denny's customer for quite a while but I am not saying that Denny's is a bad restaurant but all I am saying at this point is that I lost my appetite for Dennys completely I will never walk into any Dennys Restaurant again after today! read more

Its Denny's, you get what you pay for, Breakfast is decent, or the club sandwich. Other than that, I do not here very often. Service is pretty friendly, and parking is good. Whatever you do, do not come on graduation day, I walked out the wait was so long, even after waiting 15 mins, I still had about 40 mins more to wait. Not worth it guys, went to Millie's which I do prefer for a decent cheap breakfast. read more

This is my favorite denny's location. I honestly don't go anywhere else. I love the workers, they are so nice. I recommend this denny's out of any other. I feel welcome everytime. read more

The two stars is for the hostess and my burger wasn't bad apart from the fact that I ordered a mushroom burger and it took them 30 mins to tell me they were out of mushrooms. It's funny how the food came out right after that though. The fact that it took 30 mins to get two burgers when hardly anyone was there is also funny. I'm being sarcastic as I am not really laughing. One more thing...the mumbling waiter needs a lesson on how to speak clearly and loud enough for customers to hear as he does work in the part of food service industry that has to deal with PEOPLE. This requires you to talk to them. Yeah this is Denny's and I still expect good service at any diner. Thank you! Again, sarcasm. Ha! read more

Denny's - My mushroom burger has no shrooms on it. - American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Bad service. Coffee was cold. Waiter wasn't friendly. Maybe he was having a bad day. Hope maybe next time i get better service

I tried their Nachos and they were not good at all. I've been to other Denny's and they taste great, but not at this place. Won't be ordering Nachos here anymore. I'm giving them two stars for quick service. read more

Felt like Denny's before work and stopped by here. Parking sucks cause your have to walk all the way around just to get to the front. Service was good my waiter was nice. My food came out hot and everything tastes great... But I felt like I was eating in a library! It was so silent you can hear people chewing swallowing breathing and silverware hitting plates. Most awkward breakfast ever! read more

Denny's - New buttermilk pancakes- peanut butter cup soooo delicious - American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I came for breakfast, as my stomach was growling and I ordered the lumberjack slam and didn't realize so much food would cost under $15. The service is always good and food is great. If it wasn't for the parking situation, I would have given them 5 stars. I almost left due to the parking. Anywho. I definitely recommend the lumberjack slam to those who can really eat. read more

This restaurant employees are great but the manager or owner is terrible he is sarcastic and nasty when you request or complaint about something please don't go there find another Denny's he didn't care because he is the owner read more

I was not to sure what to rate this place because our server was great and felt for her but the manager and the way its run was not acceptable! I recently visited this location on Friday Night, and the server was great and went out of her way to best help serve us, but it was difficult for her as I could tell, due to the fact that it seemed she was the only one serving everyone one! I don't know if the location was short staffed, but she had way too many tables compared to all the other waiters. The young gentlemen who rung me up when I payed for my food did mention that the staff did not get along that's why their was so much chaos! Also, that the manager did not do anything. From what I can see when I was at this location, the manger was not doing anything in fact! This guy was just standing behind the cash register instead of communicating to the servers what to do and who should do what! I will not be returning to this location. I feel like the manager did not know how to run a place like a manger should. As for the waiter, I feel bad for her because she was really sweet and I could tell she is not the person to say anything. Its not right on Denny's part to allow this! read more

I love Denny's but this is the worst Denny's to come to, the manager really really sucks the worst I have every experienced when it comes to management. Pablo Garcia needs to be checked. I don't know how he is still manager I feel sorry for the employees having to work with someone like him complete trash as a person and no customer service skill as at all. Yells at you and try's to act like he's the man. read more

This particular Denny's has a staff that is on point! In the times I've been to this Denny's, they're burgers are cooked to perfection. I'm always greeted kindly with smiling faces. The restaurant it self is kept clean and the environment is a friendly atmosphere. I noticed that they have a back room for private parties and meetings. Wouldn't be a bad idea to use to host an event here. read more

Of all the Denny's I've been through, Denny's of Van Nuys is by far, my most favorite one. Exactly of what we call, a warm typical American cafe. Here's what I like: 1. The price. Besides the $2, 4, 6, 8 value menu, sometimes I receive thru the mail coupons, which further saves money & makes customers like me happy. Plus, poor customers get to experience what restaurant is like. 2. For food, here are my top suggested foods: #1. the burgers, very juicy; definitely can defeat fast food burgers anyday, they are the typical average American backyard BBQ burger--similar to homemade. #2 the soups, especially the clam chouders and other potato chouder like soups; very nice & creamy. #3 the steaks, good size meats (though minor fix, please read my "suggested improvements" below), good side dishes like mash potatoes or french fries. #4 the fish, also good size but some minor fix-up (please read suggested improvements below). 3. Ok service. 4. Clean dining place. 5. Spacious parking. Now, I do have some "suggested comments" below to help further enhance your business: 1. Your steak & fish. They're sometimes a bit too dry or too burnt. Try marinating more to keep the steak or fish nice & moist as well as tender & it'll probably taste better. 2. Few of your servicemen should try to be a bit more friendly. Overall, the rest are A-Ok. Therefore, I shall grant you 4 stars out of 5. Keep up the good work Denny's of Van Nuys. read more

If I could rate this place -zero. I would. This is the second time I watched my husband eat his food for 15 minutes without being served mine. This time I asked for the Manager, Pablo Garcia, and instead of fixing the problem professionally, he proceeded to argue with me, and come back to me several more times to challenge me and dish out ridiculous amount of attitude and disrespect. Helpful tip: do not argue with paying customers and make a fair effort to serve an entire table together in a timely manner. And lastly keep your nasty attitude to yourself. read more

Worst service ever! It took a long time for us to get our food . When we did it only 2 of us got the food . Which we send one of the orders back 2x because it was wrong. I got upset because we were still waiting on the food to the point that I got up and asked what was going on? When I did ask for it the gentleman that was helping the waitress serve said " well I asked if that was all you needed" . My thing is you see 2 other people there without food. It's common sense that we're still missing the rest of our order. We were not just going to sit there and watch them eat . Don't they have our order written down ? If we wouldn't have asked for the food we would have never gotten it. Not once did our waitress check on us to see if we needed refills or needed anything at all. To top it off it was boiling hot in there which made it really uncomfortable to eat there . Never again will I or recommend anyone to go there. read more

So I went to Denny's this morning and was served by Norma, worse person to serve us. I asked for a crepe and it was a flat retarded pancake with a bunch of nutella and vanilla creme just thrown on top. We asked for extra napkins and she brought . Never coming to this Denny's to top it off she took 45 minutes to bring pancakes.. read more

Waiter look tired! Didn't write down what we order and screwed up our order! My slillet look horrible! The skillets from the Dennys on Ventura Blvd are way better read more

I work across the street and this Denny's has always been extremely kind to us. We had a large to-go order earlier this year for a meeting and the manager, Pablo, took the time to put in very complicated orders with me for our 20 attendees. The staff packaged everything nicely and there were no complaints about the food. Today, we had an appreciation breakfast for our staff and Pablo reserved the back room for us so we could have our privacy. When I arrived, he remembered me from last time, greeted us, and brought us to the back room. Waiters/waitresses were kind and everyone enjoyed their food. Pablo kept popping into the room to check on us throughout our time there. Overall, it's always a pleasure going over there and I look forward to working with them in the future! read more

I came today in the afternoon and was greeted by a very nice waitress. She welcomed us in and immediately made us feel right at home even though things seemed quite busy. Somehow, our waitress managed to provide us with excellent service and care while also managing the another room. The food tasted better compared to the other Denny's around the area in my opinion. Compared to IHOP and Norms, the service was awesome, and the waitress makes me want to come back because she is so sweet. Overall, good service and good food. read more

I happened to be in the area of this Denny's restaurant and decided to stop in for breakfast. I was greeted kindly and seated promptly. My beverage was delivered quickly and the server was friendly. After ordering my breakfast, the food was delivered within 6 minutes. I enjoyed the meal with nothing bad to note. All in all, this was a good visit. I enjoyed it and can say that I would eat there again. read more

I want to take this opportunity to compliment the Manager Pablo at the location on 16575 Sherman Way Van Nuys CA 91406, he went over and beyond his title, he took the time to make sure my order was complete, about 2 weeks ago I ordered a breakfast and the driver forgot to bring my coffee, I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with Pablo, he apologized and assured me that if in the future I order again he will make sure that my coffee will be included with my new order, well he kept his word and he made sure I had my coffee with my order. he even sent me a text to let me know that the driver was on her way with my order and also text me again to follow up that I have received my entire order. I have never experience this kind of excellent service. If I could I would give him 10 stars instead of 5. He needs to be recognized for his excellent service. Well done Pablo! we need more people like you, specially in these times of hardship for everyone.. read more

Bad service! Waited more than 30 minutes to get my food AND after I asked the waiter for the check, he came back 30 minutes later with it. There weren't a lot of people so I don't know why it took him forever to give us our check. Definately not coming back, sorry Denny's. read more

I come here for the strictly for the pancake puppies! Everything else is pretty awful. I used to eat here a lot in my younger days but I would have an automatic stomach ache after, no questions asked. I have even gotten food poisoning once or twice so I decided to do myself the favor of not even eating here but I will not give up the pancake puppies. They are so good! I love the creamcheese dipping sauce too. Yummy! read more

Denny's - Yummy - American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Usually they are pretty fast in terms of service, and how quickly you receive your food, but this is definitely not the place for holiday meals, they are understaffed and you will be waiting around 30-45 mins to get your delicious food. Food is always on point thought. read more

Denny's - American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The food is what you'd expect from a Denny's. But the staff at this location is slow, disorganized, and RUDE. When I paid for my food the woman handed me a receipt to sign. There was no clear place to sign so I paused and started to ask "where should..." she just yelled "anywhere!" Unnecessary. Awful place. read more

This is one of the worst Denny's I've ever been to. The place is half-full and I'm only one person and I have to be on the waiting list for a table??!!?? I ordered just French toast without anything else and the waiter looked at me like I'm from Mars. Also it's hot in here. Ghetto! I have lost my faith in humanity!!! read more

Denny's - American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I ordered online thru dennys.com and almost 1h30 later nothing was delivered. Called in the store and the General manager was a big a**hole telling me we didn't place the order correctly, didn't choose the delivery company and that the food was sitting there and if i wanted i could just go and pick it up. But i paid for delivery just for that not to happen! If i wanted to go i would just go in the first place. It draining hard. Corporate call center was not available on a Saturday. I went there and the manager was gone and finally my food was shipped with God knows who. Waste of time. I had to escalate the whole thing to the owner of the store who was polite and willing to work things out with us. He gave us a refund and told me, who was there at the location, to wait he was gonna place a fresh order. I waited 15 min and the order came wrong! They made the wrong burger. Had to wait another 10 for it to be fixed. Talked to the general manager again and again he was an a*hole and suggested that I created this situation to get free meals from his boss? Wtf? And almost 3 hours later here I am eating my food... STAY AWAY FROM DENNYS unless you're on the road and there's nowhere else to eat. read more

I came here since I had a birthday coupon. I like Denny's but don't come often. The service is never that great I think at any location. My hubby & I got the gram slam. It didn't take a long time to get our food but it took a while to get our order taken. The waitress barely checked on us and half the time we were out if water. It was very busy and we were literally sitting in the front near the entrance. Was loud! And our waitress kept walking right passed us. That was a little annoying. Hopefully I have s better experience next time. read more

We had a random late night craving for Denny's (emphasis on random).... Woman over the phone was nice and thorough. When we walked up there was an older homeless gentleman that asked us to buy him a coffee. We asked the same woman (small Asian woman) on the phone to prepare a coffee to which she balked "he's already had two tonight!!!". 1st: If we are paying for it and he says he wants a coffee.... Why are you even voicing your unsolicited opinion. 2nd: we are all adults.... Your loud unnecessary comment should be saved for your children 3rd: IT WAS 45 degrees outside!!! Give the man his coffee!!! We patiently waited to make sure she gave him his coffee that we paid for... We had a sense she might stiff him for it since she had such strong feelings about *GASP* three cups of hot coffee on a cold night. The food was cool.... Most random order ever: Moons over my hammy Chicken wings Club sandwich All three were yummy at 2am. read more

We love coming to this Denny's! Patt is amazing she always gets our orders perfect and gets it's out quick to us! She's great!

Went to this Denny's for breakfast , big mistake. The waitress " Irlanda " repeated our order , but when it arrived it was incorrect. I pointed out I requested two pieces of bacon , not one and one sausage. She said ok I will bring you another piece of bacon. It never happened, pancakes were dry and stuck to each other. My boyfriend ordered two pancakes and a glass of water. His pancakes were dry also , she brought him a child's size glass of water , he asked for a larger glass she said ok , It never happened either. We left most of our food , very disappointed , never easy at that location again. read more

Don't want to come here on sundays, that's for sure place is packed servers are rude and overwhelmed food comes out cold hygiene is not tip top shape.. Bin coming here for 20 years watching this place deteriorate is sad had several conversations with the owner did no good management is terrible nick and pat only reason I keep coming back read more

The waitress is very attentive. I love taking my coffee to go. Thank you kind waitress.

They get 1 star only because you have to give them stars... Waited for 45 minutes for our food and when we complained they did nothing about it. The waitress never came to our table to even check on us even though she kept walking by. Service was absolutely ridiculously horrible. read more

First time at this dennys. Reviewing as im here. Ordered the alaskan Salmon, and my side veggies were cold. Told them to take it back and they just microwaved my plate. I knew this because my salmon that was already hot was extremely hot. And my lemons that was previously cold was hot. I don't ever have high expectations for Dennys but at least be reasonable and not lazy. Also the steak looked like beef jerky when ordered medium. What a nice family dinner experience. Waited 15 minutes for the server. 20 minutes for food. Sorry but probably not likely to coming back. And never apologized for any thing after we complained. Lol read more
