We’ve been regulars at this location for years. This is the best Denny’s in the Bay Area. The manager and staff is friendly and inviting, and the food always comes out hot and quick, regardless of how busy they are. The crew keeps this place clean, and we’ve never felt rushed to get out of here. One of their lead servers, Israel, is always super accommodating and greets us with a smile! The building has spaced out seating and lots of natural light coming through the big windows during the day.

See you in a week or two, Israel and the crew!

(For dinner, go check out Pupusa Taco Mix just 4 miles away. Owned and operated by Israel’s family, they make the best pupusas and horchata in town!)

This location has the best staff!! The manager here is helpful and kind. Israel, our favorite waiter, is the friendliest guy and always goes above and beyond with the service!! (Make sure to try his restaurant Pupusa Taco Mix for delicious food too!!) Been coming here for years now and the food is always great, coffee’s always hot, and the staff is always amazing! Best Denny’s in the Bay, hands down!

My partner and I always enjoy our food here. My favorite item is the coffee—there's something about Denny's coffee that I like. The staff is friendly, and my order never takes long to arrive. So far my favorite Denny's.

I had breakfast at the Denny’s on Hillsdale Ave in San Jose, and it was a great experience. The service stood out right away—quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. My food came out hot and fast, just the way you want it in the morning. It’s exactly what I expect from a classic diner breakfast—simple, satisfying, and affordable. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Perfect for a casual bite to start the day. I’ll definitely be coming back

Great service. Israel is like family. He supports veterans allowing us to use the conference room to do breakfast and support one another.
