Denny’s

Mistake #1 was ordering a steak at Dennys. The menu shows a picture of a delicious sirloin. When my plate was handed to me my reaction was simply «what the f – k is this». It looked like a piece of meat standing up on my plate in the shape of the letter V.
And it tasted like a tire patch.
Waitresses very polite thus the 2 stars.

We looked on Unilocal to start our search for Dennys, and picked this one because the reviews. We were greeted and seated promptly. The carpet had bits on it, figured there busy all day, so no big deal.
We got menu’s and ordered our food, our usual.
The food was hot and yummy.
Our server was very polite and pleasant.

I love this Dennys, they are so nine to me and take good care of me. Tell food is hot and have a great taste.

Went for a late night dinner, had the chicken fried steak, eggs and potatoes. Everything was cooked perfect. The server was very friendly. They may have improved cause I don’t have a clue what the 1 – 3 star reviews are talking about.

Felt clannish. Waitresses weren’t rude but had unorthodox waiting etiquette. Weird people loitering there, seemed to be a friend of the wait staff that simply didn’t have anything better to do on a Friday night

Just burned $ 10 at the World’s Dirtiest Denny’s. This place needs to be torched. Rotten cabinets, just nasty, period. Food was so oily, I didn’t eat. Just wanted to get out of there! One star is for service. At least they were nice.

Went to Denny’s tonight (October 19, 2015) for my sons bday dinner. It wasn’t too busy inside but I noticed they only had 2 waitress’, my son wanted it so we decided to stay. The waitress sat us down at 530. My daughter and I went to the restroom and the entire back room smelled of urine! The bathroom was also filthy! We came back to our table and sat down. We then waited 15 minutes and still no one came to take our drink or food order. As we are waiting we keep getting a wiff of sewer coming from the kitchen. Smelled like straight shit!!! My son said it smelled and wanted to leave. I was right there with him, I can not eat with the smell of sewer right by our table. I don’t know how the other customers did it. Not to mention it was hot as hell in there!!! We got up and left and still no waitress noticed us! This Denny’s location needs to get their act together as there is no decent places to sit and have breakfast for dinner in Barstow. I will not be returning and I urge everyone not too as well! (And they wonder why we don’t give Barstow our business)

My boyfriend and my kids n I have been here several time within the past year and I have to say that each time got progressively worse, last night was the final straw. EVERY waitress that works there is lazy. They don’t care about the customers. Either they ignore you or are rude. There was 3 waitresses there last night, a white girl with blonde hair, a Mexican with black hair, and a black chick with a high pitched voice. The restaurant was dead, so dead 2 of the waitresses could’ve been sent home. They people cooking the food can care less also. The food is never presentable, burnt, or has been sitting under a heat lamp for way too long. Last night we left feeling nauseous and grossed out. We will never go there again and I suggest other people reading this do the same.

Denny’s standard fare… Its the staff that made this a worthwhile stop from the madness of bumper to bumper traffic! Oldies music made it enjoyable too. Slow down from the hurry up and wait! Just what we needed to calm our nerves. Thanks to the Barstow staff!

Do not stop here if your life depends on it
We had our truck broken into during a lunch stop, and they stole our luggage. Then our credit card was used 40 times after we left Denny’s. Found out this morning because they declined my credit card. By pass Barstow !!! Nothing but crooks around that area.

Just arrived here with a group of 10 bikers riding between Vegas and Victorville. Temperature was 115, 1:30 in the afternoon. Our entire group was near heat exhaustion and we needed to cool off. We were seated quickly and asked for water, but after begging 4 staff we still were waiting, fanning ourselves with menus and sweating, some of us close to passing out. We kept begging for water, no one would serve us. A bus boy started bringing glasses of water, we asked for some pitchers which he said he’d bring us, but the supervisor stopped him and said no pitchers were allowed at the table. I explained we were suffering from heat exhaustion but she still refused. We quickly drank the water we had, then immediately asked for refills. I took ice from my cup and started using it to cool down my face and arms, still begging for more water. Finally the supervisor relented and brought out carafes of water for our tables. The attitude of the staff towards us was so incredibly appalling. If we weren’t seriously in need of water and a cool place to rest right now, we would have left immediately.

This place has, by FAR, the absolute WORST customer service of any Denny’s I’ve encountered (and I travel via motorcycle often, so I’ve seen a few). Traveling home from Vegas on Sunday June 14^th 2015, stopped here at about 1:30pm. Temperature outside was a lovely 115 degrees (no, I’m not exaggerating). My group got seated, and immediately requested waters. The waitress ignored that request until after she’d given us all silverware. It took nearly 15mins to get water served to us in glasses. We were told that they «aren’t allowed to leave pitchers of water at the tables,» which we’d requested only to save them the hassle of constantly refilling our cups. 20mins after being seated, the waitress began to take our order, only to be told that half the things we wanted weren’t available because they «sold out». Every single staff member we encountered had a disgruntled look on their face, and seemed wholly unwilling to serve us. I’ve NEVER been so irritated with the staff of a dining establishment. I understand that a large party (there were 10 of us) requires some extra work, but we eat hearty and tip well. I can say with absolute certainty that I will NEVER, EVER be a patron at this particular Denny’s again.

I used to love this place 5 yrs ago! But, this is my first time back and I can not tell which is worse the food of the service our waitress literally took our order brought us our food and NEVER RETURNED! Def my last time here! I’ll go IHop from now on

The service was ok not the best and the place was extremely dirty our waitress kept forgetting things
All we came for was desert glad we ate earlier somewhere else

We stopped in for dinner on our way home from Arizona. It was kind of late, past 8pm.
You may only think of Denny’s as your regular old fatty diner food. I happen to be a very big fan of Denny’s. Both for their regular high calorie options and their surprisingly healthier options. They also have their calorie counts listed. Always helpful.
My uncle and I both got the Prime Rib Cobb Salad. It was excellent. Big chunks of succulent beef with all the Cobb fix’ns. I was able to share the egg and meat with my baby.
We all sat in a booth that fit us comfortably with a highchair at the end of the table.
Another great feature of Denny’s, amazingly kid friendly. Always kid friendly.
The wait staff here deserves an award for how great they were. Not only were they exceptional with us but I saw one waitress, off the clock, help two foreign exchange students find a way to get a rental car so that they could make it back to LA in time for their flights home to France. Apparently someone took advantage of them and took off with their money and previous ride back to LA. This woman went above and beyond helping these poor girls who were literally left alone in the middle of nowhere. Exceptional!
If in need of any type of sit down meal I am stopping here no matter what.

We walked in. The four of us while coming back from Las Vegas. She looks at me and says «is this table okay» i said its fine and then she gave us the menus and we waited from 4:45 until 5:05 which is when we decided to leave. She never asked for our drinks. She didnt take our orders, our menus were closed. It wasnt busy maybe like 5 – 10 people in there. Very bad service but obviously because its dennys

There were pros and cons of this Denny’s.
Pro:
— food was decent, overall
— Joyce was a nice server and handled the entire room (12 tables) #likeaboss
— … It’s Denny’s
Cons:
— filthy. Looked like certain areas hadn’t been cleaned in years.
— pancakes, which are usually good at Denny’s, were not.

Not a huge fan of Denny’s but this was the best option on a late evening during a trip. My dad loves the senior menu prices and got a plate off that. I took a «lighter fair» meal of some sandwich with avocado, which is about 550 calories. That’s light? Yikes! Ice tea wasn’t too delicious but they kept filling it up. Neighborhood seemed sketchy as there were some strange people popping in looking for handouts and in the area. This has the feel of an old time diner. But it did the trick and neither of us got sick.

Extra star for service. Manager greeted me before the server and was friendly.
Then I took that extra star away for the waitress being kind of short — at the end she literally just put my check on my table without a word, leaving me to sit there for 5 minutes until I realized I pay up front.
When first walking in, it smelled kind of like wet dog. The table I was seated at had some missed food in one corner. The windows were dirty, though it seemed from the outside. Blinds were dusty.
Service prompt. All American slam with orange spice tea. Tea was really good. Orange juice refreshing. English muffin crispy. Best crispy bacon. Sausage mushy. Pretty sure it was undercooked and so I did not eat the rest. Hash browns could of been crisper, for sure — kind of tastes like boiled potato.
I did get a large slice of apple pie to go which I thoroughly enjoyed. Somehow my bill was $ 24 ???
Don’t think it was worth the $$

Of course no matter where you go, Denny’s food is the same. Only the staff is different. We stopped while traveling to Colorado. The bathrooms we’re clean, the staff friendly, the food Denny’s. Which I hate, but I’ll stop there ‘only’ because I’ve got some idea what I’m getting when I’m traveling. That’s about all I can say in the positive.
The one star is for the food not the wait staff, which end were ver nice, friendly and timely.
