    55 scramble.

    I stopped at this Denny's because they have charging for the Tesla's in the back. The service here was good and the food came out nice and hot prepared just as I ordered. There were a few tables that needed to be wiped off, but besides that it was a pretty decent place. If you need to charge your car and want to grab a bite, this is a perfect place to go.

    This location outdid themselves from our previous visit. We were a party of fourteen over the holidays. No reservations are taken, so we arrived at 9 on a Sunday, and they set up tables for us in the back annex area where there is also a small meeting space. We were all happy since we had 4 toddlers that they accommodated with kids' menus that have games on the backside-crayon provided, plus baby seats. Everyone in the nice main dining area appreciated that we were off on our own because we are a boisterous bunch. Service was helpful, accommodating and friendly. They provided us their holiday menu complete with cute Rudolph pancakes. I had fresh fruit along with perfect pancakes, my husband had their cheesy egg scramble. One family member had a tasty looking chicken salad. All the kids ate more than they normally do, so it was a big hit for everybody.

    Www.dennys.com imw Denny's at your ashwood and telegraph location in Ventura California and unfortunately it was bad enough that it deserves attention from corporate instead of just being brushed off as one of those nights the overall atmosphere ing Nicki Nicki Nicki no good there seem to be a complete lack of urgency communication and professionalism orders were delayed interactions felt dismissive and the overall environment gave the impression that nobody was managing the situation or taking pride in the establishment late night customers still deserve decent service especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a dependable all hours diner people go to Denny's because they expect consistency not perfection just consistency service and staff that act like they want to be there at least a little bit this visiting it because this location has the potential to be better but somebody needs to tighten up the late night operation before more customers walk out frustrated and decide not to come back please look into the management and staffing situation during the late night shifts at this location ... The food and service were completely unexeptable... The food was burnt and no worth feeding to my dog...

    GETTING HERE: This is the old Coco's on Telegraph and Ashwood in Ventura. Parking is best accessed off Telegraph IMO. Pass the corner gas station on the corner (if you're heading West) and then turn on in. REVIEW: OK. Where do I begin? This was a good enough eating experience with their food, but their service today equates to one word: yikes. It's an OK vibe with the diner vibes. Was pretty clean and not too busy even with the lunch crowd. But there was only one (1) server visible for the entire restaurant. The entire place! She was running and running hard. Doing her best, which was nice and she was hustling hard. Food was good. My guest loved their hash browns. Loved! The eggs were a tad runny for me, but over all it was tasty food. Server disappeared (literally) right after we asked for our check. We waited and waited and waited at the entrance. Finally an older lady appeared and rung us up. She was having a rough day herself, and it showed. Sadly. Left a bad taste for my guest and I as she didn't speak ONE WORD to us. No "thank you." Not even "hi". Nothing. As we walked away I yelled rather loudly to her, "THANK YOU" because her lack of acknowledgement of us as PAYING CUSTOMERS really kind of ticked me off. She chirped right up and thanked us. I told her I hope her day gets better. She said, "Me too." Hmm. Really? Not a plus for me. I'm sorry you're obviously short-staffed but I don't need to know your woes ma'am. I came here for a respite. 2.5 star experience rounded up to 3. I guess I'm meh on the recommendation or not. Maybe you'll get here on a better day.

    We've been waiting almost an hour to get my plate. Came after work to this. It wasn't even packed. I think the fish is swimming away from them. The waiter was sweet.

    Okay, this is one of the cleanest Denny's locations I've ever been to! Normally, the Denny's locations I've gone to are dirty and give you a sketchy feeling, but this wasn't the case for this location. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately! Our waiter was friendly and very tentative! I got the strawberry stuffed French toast slam and my husband got the French toast slam! We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Very tasty and affordable. This is now our go-to Denny's location.

    I'm not one to usually leave reviews on major chain restaurants as i figured most people have been to them and know what to expect BUT this location simply has the best service and quick consistent food and service that I figured they needed a special kudos. This Dennys is a little ways from the freeway which is why I believe it's always less crowded then your typical Dennys. Don't get me wrong they do major business but thankfully I've never had to wait here even when coming at rush hours. That's why I really love this Dennys because it's easy in and out. The food is no frills classic Dennys, nothing I could tell you that you wouldn't already know. So I'll focus on service. I dined here this morning on 10/2/22 around 10am and I was so beyond impressed with the staff and overall flow of this restaurant. I nerd out on a well managed team given my early years in the food industry so forgive me. "Those who get it, get it, those who don't, don't." The restaurant was well stocked with staff to accommodate the morning rush. Everyone working was all smiles and super helpful. They had two gentlemen behind the counters cashing out orders, what looked to be a full kitchen, plenty of servers, and the efficient manager gal helping out. Here's what I loved: 1. I saw staff constantly sanitizing their hands behind the counter and keeping a clean workspace. 2. The manager was constantly praising her staff and saying "good job guys" and keeping the pace/standards. It was so refreshing to hear someone leading their staff and creating a positive praising work environment. Working in the food industry is hard and definitely staff at chains don't get enough credit but I was so pleased with the good vibes this morning. Sorry for the rant but I felt todays experience (and my past experiences here) warranted a good review as I'd come to this location above most others.

There is something about this place that immediately lifts your mood the moment you walk inside. The atmosphere feels warm lively and full of personality in a way that teenagers naturally connect with. It has that comfortable playful energy where you can sit down talk with someone enjoy your food and feel like you are part of a fun little world without any pressure at all. I did not expect it to feel that youthful and inviting but it absolutely did. One thing that stood out to me more than anything else was the garlic bread. Busy Bee Cafe is the only location I know that has garlic bread with a taste I genuinely love. I do not even know if they sell that exact garlic bread online and honestly that mystery makes it feel even more special. The flavor is warm buttery and rich in a way that hits you instantly. It is the kind of garlic bread that teenagers would enjoy a lot especially if they are hanging out with friends and looking for something comforting and delicious to share. It is rare to find something so simple that leaves such a strong impression. While I was there I noticed a lot of teenagers enjoying the space and it made perfect sense. The cafe has a classic retro charm that feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. It is the kind of place where teenagers can take pictures enjoy the decor and feel completely at ease. The environment supports creativity and fun without trying too hard. I appreciated that same feeling myself. It reminded me of how easy it can be to enjoy a place when the atmosphere naturally encourages you to relax and be present. I have only visited Busy Bee Cafe once in my life before writing this review but that one visit was more than enough to make it memorable. It is rare to find a place that feels relaxed and exciting at the same time but this cafe manages to do that effortlessly. The garlic bread alone makes me want to return but the overall experience is what stays with you. It is playful welcoming and full of life in a way that makes you feel mentally sharp youthful and connected to the moment. I would highly recommend that teenagers go to Busy Bee Cafe in Ventura. It gives them a place to enjoy great food take pictures hang out with friends and feel creative and energized. It is one of the most enjoyable and unexpectedly fun spots I have been to in a long time and I am glad I got to experience it the way I did.

It wasn't much fun working there as a kid, but I've always liked their "authentic" diner food all the many times I've gone back--I don't think it's changed its basic meals since it was Warren's! Good old food, with expected adequate service, a standard for over 55 years (that I at least) have been going in there. I can't help it, I just like old-time, anachronistic places like Busy Bee.

They open at 7:00 on a Saturday and customer number two was not there until 8:00 so already it's my kind of place LOL. The patio outside is nice and you get a nice look at the marina. So I ordered the Ventura omelette which comes with bacon mushrooms olives sour cream and avocados. To my delight also includes a generous portion of hash browns. All this costs $23 no drink tax and tip included. Now for the downlow: As much as I wanted to give a higher rating to these typa small businesses, can't for a couple of reasons. First of all the hash browns although texture-wise was cooked perfectly, it had a very heavy frying /cooking oil taste like it hadn't been changed for awhile. I never like to nit-pick but it was overwhelming. Second, the omelette had a very funny taste to it almost as if the pan was used for something else and then this was cooked on/after it so I couldn't quite identify what it was but it just didn't taste right. It had some bacon in it but it was fatty and undercooked too. so although the presentation and portion was nice and the price was right, didn't really inspire me to come back unfortunately. It wasn't terrible by any means but enough to not want to try something else. Almost forgot the biscuit which is optional instead of toast was pretty good. 3 stars and really 2.5 rounding up for good service.
