Hello Im 16 I came into dennys with my dad food was good nothing wrong with anything our server was amazing but these two other employees were extremely gross and unprofessional the boy was singing loudly and dancing around tables and sitting down with customers and singing into a broom stick like a microphone... The girl was following the boy around and coughing into her hands and wiping her nose every 2 minutes i never saw her wash her hands they were making gross comments about unprofessional topics. This is your JOB they need to act like it this is not a playground take your airpods out and do your job this makes me embarrassed to be apart of this generation if you have a job do your job kids.

We love this Denny's location and grab breakfast there regularly. Dana, the manager, and the rest of the crew are friendly and do a great job. The restaurant is clean and has a nostalgic feeling. If you get their senior omelette, they let you swap your toast for pancakes for no extra charge.

Gross ass place. I took my boyfriend here for breakfast and they gave him a dirty ass coffee cup. They really should be shutdown for how unclean they are at this Denny's. We never went back.

Food was decent but manager on shift took it upon himself to explain to us why global warming isn't real for about 10 min. Didn't come to breakfast to get lectured to.

While on a recent vacation, my husband had eaten breakfast two days in a row at Denny's on Madonna Rd. in San Luis Obispo and had raved about the great service Angel gave him. However, on our way back home, we both stopped in for breakfast and my husband decided we should sit at the counter, which is unusually high for a Denny's. The stools are also very high. As I attempted to move my stool out to sit down, it topped over onto me causing me to loose my balance and fall straight back onto the hard, clay tile floor. My head whiplashed back crashing into the floor. The female manager with lots of arm tattoos, asked if she should call 911. I said no. With customers yelling not to move me she had my 76-year-old husband help me stand up and then sit down in a nearby booth. Angel, the waiter came by several times showing concern for my well being as several customers also who witnessed the incident, checked on me. The manager did nothing. When the bill came for my husband's $10 breakfast, the manager started to ring it up. My husband said, "I can't believe you are going to charge me after my wife was seriously injured." She seemed very confused. I did have to go to Urgent Care that day after developing a large bump on my head, a severe headache, stiff neck, and numerous bruises including a 7 inch bruise on my back. I had a CT scan, arm, back, and rib x-rays. Three days later I am still very bruised and my head is very tender and throbs. The manager definitely needs some training in showing compassion to Denny's customers, maybe she should take lessons from Angel.

We went for lunch on Friday a little before 2 pm and they were washing the floors on one side of the restaurant (with people sitting there eating). At first we thought they were closed because we stood by the open door looking in and the staff standing on the inside just looking back at us without saying a word. After a couple os minutes staring at each other I asked if they were open and they said yes, so we moved the cone blocking the door and walked in. They sat us down on the opposite side from where they were cleaning the floor. The lady that sat us took our drink order. The waiter showed up once to take our food order and he did not come back around someone else delivered our food. We asked the waitress from the table next to us for more water. After a while the waitress that brought us more water left the check on our table. We asked her for dessert she brought us dessert . When we started eating dessert the started washing the floor in the section right behind us. The smell of bleach was really bad it made us want to vomit. We couldn't finish the dessert. our waiter showed up with the check. I looked at the check and told him the dessert was missing. Without a word he took the check and came back with the new one. I wanted to use the restroom and the manager asked me if I could wait because she was doing the final mop on the floor. Ten minutes later I asked if I could use the restroom and she walked over to check the restroom and said yes. We were ready to go went up to the front to pay and our waiter charged us. No thanks for coming, have a nice day. Not a word. Needless to say his tip was only 15%. Horrible service.

Food was good. Bathrooms were clean. Service was prompt. Bourbon chicken skillet and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich were delicious

Look.... It's Denny's. You're here because you are either cheating on your diet or you're too lazy to cook a meal in the middle of the night and all your friends/kids are starving. This is not food you Uber to the house either. Get up, put your slippers and hoodie on and go grub out. If you have been drinking just Uber to Denny's and sober up!

Great convenient stop next to our motel which we had for dinner and brunch the following morning. Classic American diner feel which we were keen to try out and glad we managed to enjoy. Awesome breakfast in particular with a huge range of options. Good value too. Perfect stop on our coastal road trip.

Bland food, terrible service. Other Denny's serve tasty biscuits and gravy with sausage gravy and good flavor, this particular Denny's uses just flour for gravy, bland and plain. Ordered water, got and was charged $3.69 for coffee, that I did not drink or touch. Poor service, poor food. Will never go back to this Denny's.

It was the only thing open after a late baseball game. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean and the food was decent and served very quickly.
