“This is one of the loveliest breakfast settings in Merced. The space has lots of natural light and is beautifully appointed. It's not fancy or formal in my opinion. But it does feel rather elegant, at the same time. It has lots of natural light. Service was not slow, and most attentive. Food was great, with an interesting menu. From avocado toast to chocolate chip pancakes (that was on the children's menu) to bacon and eggs. Highly recommended.“

“Update** I came back about a year and a half later and it was a great experience. They seated us right away and asked us if we'd like to eat inside or outside. We picked outside and they sat us next to this cute little waterfall. The waitress was very kind and the food was amazing. I got the country benedict and my sister got the biscuits and gravy combo. We both loved our food and it was filling. Overall wonderful experience and I would love to come back sometime.“

“I love this Denny’s I’ve been going here with my family ever since I was little and the service is great. It takes some time to make the food but it turns out amazing. I love their T-Bone steak and the classic cheeseburger I get. The chicken tenders are amazing to. The fruits are fresh and taste great. When people leave the employees clean right away and wash the dishes. It’s also a good environment to eat in. I would definitely recommend this place!

Kid-friendliness: The menu for the kids I love! They have different sides which are good. They are cheap as well and taste amazing.“
