You may want to call first because even though the internet said they were open 24 hours, they randomly were closed between 12 and 2am in the morning when we stopped by. Just to be aware

The charm here is off the charts—luminous, squeaky-clean, and humming with that timeless diner spirit, every surface practically sparkles. The servers excel, pointing you to pancakes and bacon that the cooks deliver hot and swift—pillowy pancakes with a toasty edge and bacon that crackles, landing fresh and steaming fast. The flawless space and the staff’s friendly, quick pace make this Denny’s a hit, and I’m already singing its praises. It’s the kind of joint you keep revisiting—tasty grub and a stellar vibe in spades!

This Denny's is a masterclass in what a diner should be
— walking in, you're hit with a warm, buzzing atmosphere, cozy booths, and a spotless shine that's everywhere, from gleaming tables to pristine floors. The team here is unreal: Jen and Karla greet you with smiles that light up the room, Stephanie charms families with crayons and care, and Eddie's friendly hustle makes every visit a breeze. The food comes out hot and fast, thanks to the kitchen wizards — Juan's pancakes and bacon are fluffy and crisp perfection, Luis's Moons Over My Hammy is a cheesy, grilled dream, Selvin's steak tips and mashed potatoes are tender and creamy, Eucevio's bacon crackles with every bite, and Geronimo's French toast is thick, custardy bliss. It's all delivered to your table in minutes, steaming and fresh, in a space so clean it feels like they polish it hourly. This is the kind of place that keeps guests grinning and coming back for more.
I can't overstate how this Denny's nails every detail - every server's got that personal touch, making you feel like a regular, while the cooks churn out plates that hit all the right spots, fast and flawless. The atmosphere hums with that classic diner energy, but it's elevated by a cleanliness and care you don't always find. Whether I'm craving pancakes, a hearty sandwich, or a family meal, it's consistently amazing-hot off the grill, served with a smile, and wrapped in a vibe that's impossible to resist. I'm already spreading the word to friends and planning my next stop. The whole staff from GM to the busser-they run a tight ship that's built to win, driving loyalty and packing the house. It's not just a Denny's; it's the Denny's

This location has a clean environment however the night shift's customer service was very unpleasant and unwelcoming. As soon as my family entered the door instead of a warm welcome we were told the restaurant would be closing in 30mins and advised not to place an order as dine in was not an option. There's no supervision or trained leader on site after hours to assist issues or complaints. Definitely suggest the main street location for a better experience

This Denny’s in El Cajon, CA, on Mollison Ave, is pure joy—the atmosphere glows with a lively, feel-good buzz, and it’s so clean you’d think it’s brand new, with every surface shining bright. The servers are fantastic, suggesting pancakes and bacon that the cooks crank out hot and swift—fluffy stacks with a golden crunch and bacon that snaps, hitting your table fresh and fast. The seamless service and dazzling cleanliness elevate the whole experience, making it a spot I’m already raving about to friends. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more!
