Reviews for Denny's in Santa Maria, CA
I can always count on Denny's for a good meal regardless of the city I'm in. This was a work trip to Santa Maria. We decided on... Denny's. Atmosphere was great. Service was great. Only one minor flaw... Parts of the TBone Steak was a little tough. But theparts that were good were excellent, as was the rest of the meal. Read more
We visited in the evening on a weekday after several months of staying away due to horrible service/food/cleanliness well my... wife and I were EXTREMELY SURPRISED/IMPRESSED with this visit... Firstly with the service, our waitress was the recently hiredNew manager and she was the best hands down ever. I feel horrible for not being able to remember her name, but will definitelybe calling to find it out/goingwhen she's on duty. Secondly, the quantity/quality of food was wonderfully shocking and tasty. Idon't know if the cook was changed or not but I do hope this new way/look continues on every time we visit, which normally wouldbe few times a month... Read more
This diner in Santa Maria is always pretty busy and I like how the service here is always pretty fast trying their best to give... the customer a good fast service. The food is delicious and I like how they have the fall flavors like pumpkin pancakes andtheir fall shakes. This is a great place to experience the fall flavors and have a good meal. Read more
Had breakfast today and ordered the 55+ starter: 1 egg 1 bacon and hash browns and toast. The toast was pitiful. Not toasted... evenly at all and a spray of butter in the middle but not spread across the bread evenly. The scrambled egg was really dry andmore like a sponge. The hash browns were perfectly cooked! The bacon was obviously pre-cooked and not hot or crisp. The orangejuice was very good. Read more
Denny's is a generous supporter of veterans on Veterans Day! I found out from my friend that Denny's was giving a free... breakfast to all veterans on Veterans Day so I drive over to eat. As I arrived, Denny's on Main Street was even more busy thanusual. I was able to park and walk in seated fairly quickly at the counter. I was greeted by a smiling waitress asking I I wasa veteran and showed me the flyer with the special Grand Slam menu for the day. I was able to pick any item for a Grand Slam. I selected my favorites and chatted with other veterans near me. It was very fun! 3 other wait person's came up to me and saidthank you for my service. They were all smiling and so sincere I felt great! The manager, Brenda, came up and thanked me andwished me a happy Veterans Day! Although she was busy, she spent a few minutes chatting with me about the rush of vets in therestaurant. I told her I didn't often think of my service in the Marines, but Denny's made the day great and I reallyappreciated what they were doing! By the way, the breakfast was great - the hash browns were cooked perfectly and the pancakeswere fluffy and light! Thank you Brenda and everyone at Denny's. You are All-American in my book! Read more
The service was BAD! the pancake had sooo much cinnamon/sugar it wss gaggy. U can see in the picture what i scrapped off! And... the waitress seemed not to see us even though she was serving the table behind us! When she brought the bill was when i was ableto ask for more water but by then i felt sick! All the tables who spoke Spanish she was quick and good but she did a little asshe could for us. I won't go back Read more
I've gone to many Denny's throughout California and they have provided exceptional service, however this diner failed to live up... to that standard. Upon entering, my family and I were told to wait for about 20-30 minutes and we waited. I understood, it wasthe weekend and we weren't the only families in town. Soon enough, it had been 45 minutes and still nothing. Finally, about 5minutes before the hour passed, one of my family members went inside and asked what happened. They said the table was cleanedand we were seated. We were greeted by one of the nicest waitresses there, sadly I forgot her name. She took our drinks andarrived on time (although she forgot my water but it was okay, it was the weekend and it was only a drink). The food though,this was the problem. My food was completely cold, had no cheese, and had tasted completely bland. My brother recieved his hashbrowns burnt and his eggs were WAY too wet. Read more
I love Denny's special Slam breakfast menu. Yummy eggs, English muffin with bacon and sausage. Great coffee today.
