I ordered drinks, she was so funny, witty and attentive. I've came to this location before, I'll continue to go to her table.“

“Enjoyed an early Mother's Day celebration with my son. He had great taste choosing this location“

“Great food great service.“

“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.“

“Great all around! American/Italian style food with great taste. Along with a great and hardworking staff. Definitely your money's worth. Check them out if you haven't already!!“

“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.“

“Staying at El Capitan we walked to Mainzer and had dinner outside as we had our beagle with us. Anna (our server) was/is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, she even brought a water bowl for our pup! How considerate! The rueben is fabulous! One of the best I've ever had. Burgers are also good. Thank you for a great dining experience!“

“I had the chicken with shrimp served on some chow menu style noodles. On my second time trying them, I had their chicken and white rice. It was delicious and hearty enough to save for the next days lunch.If you feel like having chow mein, this place is a must have.UPDATE: I had to go and get some more! Love this place.“

“Such a great place! We ordered the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly. The whole atmosphere was wonderful. Service was exceptional. Had a great time. We left before the band started unfortunately but I have a feeling it would have been great too. Really need to give this place a visit if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.“
