Denny's Monterey Reviews
We had a great experience at this Dennys our server Rosalba was so kind and our breakfast was delicious!
Thanks to Maria and her excellent service I enjoyed my meal without any doubts. She made sure I had everything I ordered and provided amazing customer service. Her positive attitude made the experience very welcoming and comfortable. I appreciate how often she checked on our table to make sure we weren’t missing anything.
Denny's: You know how it is. One does not go to Denny's, one typically ends up at a Denny's, undoubtedly as a result of alcohol, hard drugs, bad company or some combination of those factors. Denny's is a 2am bad decision, viewed through the fog of cheap cigarette smoke and surrounded by the most suspect people. This Denny's is actually really nice! I had an all-American slam with a side of pancakes, with coffee and OJ. The food was brought out fresh, and I swear the portion sizes were larger than normal. The coffee was hot and fresh, and my cup was refilled regularly. The service was so nice, I could almost envision a white linen tablecloth, if it weren't for the claw-machine game right next to my booth. Let you think I didn't have a true Denny's experience, don't worry: When I first arrived, the guy behind the counter apologetically told me he couldn't seat me because he didn't have a cook, then stopped abruptly, pointed behind him toward a motorized piece of rust that had just pulled up and said "never mind! That's our manager!" There was also the guy in camo, with an 8" hunting knife on his belt. 10/10 for a boujee Denny's experience.
Jaime took such great care of us this morning. He was super attentive and got us everything we needed with a smile even while the restaurant was super busy. The food was a standard Denny’s experience but the service made the trip extra good.
Love my experience! The food was so good and the staff was really nice!
Very nice, the food was very very good and the server, Maria, was very kind and made us feel very welcomed!
Rosalbr provided tremendous service. Can't wait to come again
Maria was an excellent waitress. Place was very clean.
After picking up my son from science camp, we came in to eat and had the pleasure of being served by Carrie. She was incredibly thoughtful, asked about his trip, and made us feel genuinely welcome. She checked on us often and made sure everything was perfect while we sat and talked. Service like hers really makes a difference — thank you for such a great experience!
Amazing. Absolutely. Amazing. 10/10. All of our plates were fully picked clean by the time we finished. Our server Jaime was 10/10 service, extra drink checks, extra napkins, checked in on us at the perfect times, made sure our orders were right. What else could you want? Also, the kitchen staff made our orders so perfect and delicious, knocked it out of the park. Grand SLAM! Big compliments to the cook Joseph. The burger, the breakfasts, the steak, the eggs, the hash browns, everything was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to eat here again. Left satisfied like it was a dream! Not even joking.
Went to eat morning breakfast to cure my hangover with my friends and the food was amazingly perfect and the waitress Rosalba was very friendly and attentive!
Maria… oh Maria did an amazing job attending us. she went above and beyond. she made it feel like dennys when i was a child, and the years felt like 2016. amazing simply astonishing. in all seriousness she did great 👍
Server Olivia was so thoughtful and efficient. As we started to sit she saw the freshly cleaned table was still a bit wet and promptly wiped it dry. She brought us a craft of coffee so we were set plus she gave us plenty of creamers in the exact kinds we asked for. Very very pleasant! Food was hot, plated appropriately and good. A very clean well ram Dennys!
Whenever we go on road trips, Denny’s is our go-to stop. The food is always delicious, with plenty of options to satisfy everyone in the family. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It’s a reliable, enjoyable place to take a break and grab a great meal.
I recently visited Dennys and had the pleasure of being served by Maria.She absolutely fantastic! So kind, polite, and attentive throughout our entire meal. The service was top-notch, and Maria made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!
Maria, the cleanest most amazing server ever. Number 1. Driving home in my Bugatti never felt better after eating here.
Amazing food very clean also very nice custmer service for maria the waiter
My husband and I dined in yesterday morning for some late breakfast and had the privilege of having Olivia as our server. She was very attentive, kind, and communicative. I got the fit slam, which was delicious, while my husband got the country fried steak breakfast that he devoured. We also shared a small stack of chocolate chip pancakes that absolutely hit the spot. I don’t usually choose Denny’s but this breakfast experience has opened me up to choosing it more often!
Probably the best service I've had in a restaurant in years! Maria was amazing. Had out drinks out right away, the food out shortly after it was all really good. <3
Came in after a long shift with my coworkers. We were greeted with the nicest smile and most amazing service from Maria! Thank you Maria for making our night. :)
We really enjoyed our visit to this place..the food was delicious and Carrie our server was very attentive and fast .. thank you!
I had a such a great experiencia Dennys thanks to my waitress María. She was friendly,attentive, and made sure my table had everything I need without I ever having having to ask twice.
Went for lunch with a coworker- Fast service- Good food- The price was right! Our server, Maria, was polite, professional, and fast! Thank you!
I love always coming to this Denny’s late night with my friends for food. David is usually always our server when we come in and he is such a great server. He never gets our orders wrong & has the best patience with us, very professional even when we tend to get rowdy sometimes! He was polite and attentive to the tables needs. Our food is always off the chain so thank you to the cooks as well. This Denny’s usually has the best staff and we will keep continuing to come dining there!
Maria was sweet and helped us in everything we needed ! Great staff clean restaurant and food was better !
Great place, the waiting time was very good they attended my family very fast and the waiters were very friendly especially Olivia would come back again.
Maria is such a good server. She is so busy and works so hard. She finds time to make a good chat while working, made the normal dennys experience worth it. I’m definitely coming back because of her!
What a fantastic dinning experince! From dennys completley blew us away every datailwas thougtfully executed ,from warm and welcoming staff to the beautiful plate dishes qnd our server abdullqh just fantastic
Maria and her customer service was top-notch. She greeted me and my party with a friendly smile and took the time to listen to our needs, making us feel valued right away.
I had an incredible dining experience at Denny’s, made all the more memorable by our outstanding waitress, Olivia. From the moment we were seated, Olivia greeted us with a warm smile and provided the kind of attentive, genuine service that truly elevates a meal. She anticipated our needs before we even asked, offered great menu recommendations, and made sure our coffee cups were never empty. The food came out hot, fresh, and delicious — classic Denny’s comfort done right. Olivia’s friendliness, professionalism, and upbeat attitude turned a simple meal into a delightful experience, and we will definitely be returning because of her exceptional service.
Me and my family of 5 had a wonderful experience here this locations Dennys, our waiter Rosalba was the best. She took our order quick and offered great customer service. Definitely will be coming back here to eat when im back in town to visit again
I can honestly say when it comes to food, Denny’s is usually not my first pick when choosing to find somewhere to eat. But, we happened to be in the area at the time & I wanted to sit down with my son and grab some lunch. Carrie was our server and she was so kind & helpful towards us. My youngest son has autism, so she was very patient and understanding while taking our orders. It was such a relief to deal with service that was so understanding to our situation. She made sure we were comfortable and constantly checked on us to see if we needed anything. My son of course enjoyed his food & we were both happy with everything. Carrie took care of us in the best way and I am very grateful for her kindness towards us. Give that girl a raise! 😊
I admire the service at this location. Waiter and waitress,( elder guys)were so nice and sweet. Attentive and friendly. Usually Dennys in my town is not as nice as here in Monterey bay im glad and definitely coming back here.
Olivia is such a fantastic server! I appreciate her kind service every time I come and love sitting in her section!
I rarely write reviews, but Maria at Denny’s absolutely deserves the spotlight. From the moment we walked in, she treated us like family. Her energy was warm, genuine, and exactly what you hope for when you’re grabbing a comforting meal. She greeted us with a huge smile, made real conversation, and remembered our names by the end of the meal—how rare is that? Maria moved through the dining room like a pro—checking on every table without ever seeming rushed. She got our complicated order perfect (including my weird no-syrup, extra-crispy hash brown request), and she kept the coffee flowing before we even had to ask. It’s like she had a sixth sense for service. What really stood out, though, was her kindness. She made everyone in the restaurant feel seen—talking to the kids like they were the most important people in the room, making jokes with the older couple next to us, and treating every customer with patience and care. Denny’s, if you’re reading this, Maria is a gem. She turns a simple meal into an experience. She’s the kind of employee that makes people want to come back—not just for the food, but for the heart
I have had an amazing experience with Maria she is very sweet and attentive. She always takes care of me and has such an outgoing personality. my experience at dennys wouldn’t be the sane without her.

I came with my family for some breakfast and it was great!!! The waitress was nice and always checked up on us if we needed anything. The food was great also!!!
I must commend Maria highly. Maria was so gracious, welcoming and efficient. She made my dining experience really pleasant and comfortable. The standard and quality of the food I ordered at this Denny’s location in Monterey is excellent. Stepping into this Denny’s with Maria there, is like stepping into someone’s home with a gracious warm host. It is rare these days to find people like Maria. I highly recommend this Denny’s and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to experience the graciousness of Maria when you dine there. Excellent, thank you Maria!
The workers are always working hard and are welcoming to me and the cook's also very hard working employees making lit food at 2:22 A.M Sheeet
I had an excellent experience here! My server, Rosalba was extremely friendly and courteous. I look forward to returning here.
Food: hit the late night spot on the dot. Service: wouldn't really think I'd be writing about the service at a Dennys, but I have to this time for how good it was. Maria was my server and she was awesome. Highly satisfied!
I am a regular here at this location. At this Dennys, you will find superb service, notably Juan. He is heartwarming, welcoming, kind souled, passionate. The amazing service I receive every trip is astounding, they even have in store entertainment with an amazing claw machine. (worth it!) The food and drinks here our out of this world, try the strawberry banana smoothie! Best thing to drink in Monterey, and at good price. Every time in Dennys is a good time, as every time is a new experience. If you’re in Monterey, stop by Dennys, you won’t regret it.
Maria and Jaime were great. They both did a fantastic job at taking care of our party of three. Even if we were a bit loud. After coming from the bar. We felt very welcome and did not feel alone while dining
Maria was a very excellent staff member very respectful and attentive the inside was very clean and well organized I would recommend this Dennys and to ask for the server Maria she is the best
I had the pleasure of being served by Maria at Denny’s, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly kind. She made sure our food was just the way we wanted it, checked in at just the right times, and had a great attitude the whole time. You can tell she really cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Maria, for making our meal feel more like a visit with a friend. We’ll definitely be back!
Never disappointed. Good service and friendly staff. Won't break the bank either like most eatery's in town.
Morning breakfast was absolutely on point, everything cooked perfectly and our server Rosalba was extremely friendly and gave an outstanding service
Olivia our serverwas awesome!she was very friendly and helpful. The serving were great . We enjoyed the food and had a great time thank you so much
The google reviews made me speculate if it was worth the visit but thought I would give it a try since we lived close by and I’m glad I wasn’t disappointed. We ordered the southwestern Benny breakfast and the pancakes. Both of them tasted really good. I suggest you all give this a try and don’t be disheartened by the low review score.
Great classic breakfast spot! Ordered eggs with bacon, added hash browns and a pancake; everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was extraordinary; Rosa was just amazing and made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a solid, satisfying breakfast.
We stopped in one evening late while in the area it was good food and good service. We stopped in the next morning as well and same thing great food and great service
Excellence service by our server Maria ! Quick and on top of everything. The food was and is always good here. Sometimes the wait times are a little long but never too bad. Will be coming back
Came into dennys hungry and I left happy. Fuud was fresh ,portions were solid and everything tasted great service was great service was friendly and quick ,no complains always a good go-to spot when you want classic comfort food would definitely come back!
Denny's has brought back reasonable prices for versions of the Grand Slam...good job. An old favorite with fast friendly service. Hope this brings Dennys back to many locations they left.
Rafael is an amazing server! Every time I come in, he always takes great care of me. I always order the bourbon skillet, and he makes the experience even better with his excellent service. Highly recommend asking for him!!!
I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Carrie at Denny’s! She was so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. My best friend, her newborn baby, and I were just trying to enjoy some much-needed girl time and catch up, and Carrie made sure we had a wonderful, comfortable experience. She checked on us regularly, made sure we had everything we needed, and was so patient and sweet with the baby. It truly made our visit extra special. Thank you, Carrie, for going above and beyond!
Hii! I come here weekly with my friend and Rosalba is always here to greet us! Great server and would come back here again. (As I have many times, lol)
This Denny’s in Monterey, CA is truly a delightful, heartwarming, and wonderfully uplifting place to dine, thanks to its incredibly attentive, caring, and genuinely friendly staff who go above and beyond to meet every guest’s needs. Their sincere desire to warm each guest’s heart and create a memorable, welcoming experience makes every visit feel special, inviting, and deeply appreciated. The atmosphere is vibrant and cheerful, with great music that adds to the joyful, relaxing vibe, and the food is consistently delicious, satisfying, and full of comforting flavors. Overall, this location delivers an outstanding, positive, and truly unforgettable experience that makes you want to return again and again.
Came in late night. I have not been to Denny's in years. It was quiet, not busy at all. We were seated right away. The server was cool. Very laid back. I ordered the French toast. It was so very good. Very cinnamonny. I also ordered a hot chocolate. Just right!! The atmosphere was cool. There were about 2 drifters inside, but they were quiet and kept to themselves. One was sleeping. I mean, it's Denny's. IYKYK. I may go back again.
My experience at the Denny’s on Monterey at 300 Fremont St. was nothing short of exceptional. The first thing I noticed was how clean and well-kept the entire restaurant was. Every table, surface, and walkway was spotless, and the attention to detail truly made the dining area feel welcoming and comfortable. It’s clear that this team takes pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests. The service here is absolutely outstanding. The team works together seamlessly, always attentive without being intrusive. Whether it was checking on drink refills, offering recommendations, or delivering meals promptly, every staff member I interacted with was warm, efficient, and genuinely friendly. Their professionalism makes the dining experience feel effortless and relaxing. The continued hospitality from the manager is another major highlight. You can tell that their leadership sets the tone for the entire restaurant. They consistently make an effort to check in with guests, make sure everyone is satisfied, and create an atmosphere where people feel truly valued. That kind of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. And of course, the food was incredible. The crepes were honestly the best I’ve had outside of France—light, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The salmon was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious with every bite. To top it all off, this location also offers KEF seven days a week from 4pm–10pm, making it an even better spot for families. With exceptional food, top-tier service, and impeccable management, this Denny’s is easily one of the best in the area.
I had a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Maria. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Her warm attitude and professionalism made us feel truly welcomed.
The food is delicious! We go every week and Rafael always treats us very well. He is very friendly and helpful. It's something we value a lot and one of the reasons we are always here. Thank you, Rafael, for doing such a great job.
Denny's is one of the smartest restaurants America invented! Budget efficiency and good quality with delicious freshness makes this place worth dining in for. I personally suggest it for travellers who have no desire to self cook or serve. Quick and easy and filling. Tripple A cards get you a senior discount if your over 50. Enjoy Denny's, America's favorite breakfast place 🥞!
Maria provided excellent service during my visit. She was attentive, polite, and made the experience enjoyable. The Denny’s was very clean and welcoming, and the food was fresh and delicious. Overall, a great experience thanks to Maria and the team
Wow what an experience I was so hungry this was the right place to come I didn't want the usual bacon and eggs. So my waitress Olivia suggest the Lumberjack slam, what a meal ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, toast and pancakes, YUM! Although I wasn't interested in the pancakes, so Olivia suggested to up my pancakes to French Toast. I didn't know you could this, it was a little extra money but that was fine with me, it was worth it. My meal was the best ever. Thank you Oliva for this exceptional service I will be back for sure.
I had such a great experience at Denny’s thanks to Maria! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcome. She was attentive without being overbearing, always checking in at the right time to make sure I had everything I needed.

We all ordered breakfast it was good coffee was good service was excelllent.
It was cold! The server said the heater works when it wants to. The server was friendly and accommodating.
Good variety across the menu, cooked well and served with a smile with unlimited coffee and open 24hrs a day. Highly recommend the pumpkin pancakes that are currently on the menu!
Restaurant was nice and clean. Our waitress was kind and attentive. The Santa Fe skillet I ordered was mediocre and filled with grease. Not enough potatoes to balance the savory from the chorizo. The vegetables were to overcooked. Unsurprisingly, the portions seemed to have gotten smaller. Service saved our trip here.

I want to give it a 5 star for the service provided by the GM, the waitress Maria not so good. She was rude and unfriendly. I told her if she could exchange some waffles because I am diabetic and they sprinkle them with powdered sugar, she ended up saying well its your fault for not telling me.. I said I was unawared they serve them like this since its my first time here. But the GM was able to make it right. Hes the real help and knows how to serve and understand people.
Our server was very friendly and helpful. It was not busy. It was on the way to our hotel. Food was plentiful and good. Prices are great.
Our server was very friendly and helpful. It was not busy. It was on the way to our hotel. Food was plentiful and good. prices are great.
This was a very disappointing visit. Possibly because the restaurant physical area is large, and they had only two servers, the service was subpar. The server was difficult to reach and the food did not arrive in a timely manner. When the food did arrive, it was lukewarm which hints to it being left to wait on a counter for an extended period. The floor of the restaurant was wet and slippery. The bathroom was dirty. The dirt seemed to have been there for a long time. That dirt was not just the daily accumulation, but more like weeks accumulation in places.
Only appeared to be 2 servers. Very full of clients. Burger, the bread was soggy. Meat was very bland. Asked for 2nd cup of coffee. Never came total was just over 80$ for poor tasting food. Other clients returned their meal while we were there.
When I arrived and they put me on my table, it took 30 minutes to take my order and they were not busy
This place is a joke. Said 20 minutes, took more than 20 minutes. Forgot an entire meal and a milkshake. Food was cold and we had to keep walking back because of their dumb mistakes.

Placed an order through their website to pick up after working all night, go immediately after work only to find them closed with one guy inside ignoring me when I was trying to see what was going on. Called the store a total of 6 times, with each time someone passing me to another number that just rang until it hung up until the 7th time, someone finally told me there are no managers at night. I'm still waiting on my refund on my order. This is disappointing.
Honestly what a bad experience I had waited like 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge me. After they did the Hispanic lady that took us to the table her name starts with a M I asked her if we could get a booth. She told us” please this is the only spot to sit. Either take it or get out” so we took her word and got out. Idk if that’s part of dennys training on customer service
Would have given 5 stars if I could have had good service. I arrived at 11:20 am. Not to long of a wait before I was seated. Denny's was not very busy, yet took almost 20 minutes before I could order. Food came promptly. That is the only part that was good. Now at 1::04 pm, I finally received my check.
I ordered a medium-rare steak, but it was served well-done. Additionally, I requested to substitute the hash browns with fruit. The server confirmed it was fine, but I was later charged an extra fee without being informed of the additional cost upfront.
I rarely give 1 star but this place deserves it.... I ordered the "Crazy Spicy Skillet" requested in caps lock font "NO CHORIZO or I will have to return it". It came with CHORIZO, I Cannot consume pork for health and religious reasons, then attempted to call the location for over 30 minutes and no one picked up.... This level of service is unacceptable and I will never eat at this location again, the lack of respect toward customers is unacceptable. And now I have to be hungry all night after not eating after 12 noon because of their egregious negligence. Not even a chance to correct it if the location doesn't answer the phone.
I had ordered something small to start off with and when they came for empty dish, i said i would be ready to get my other item in about 10 mins or less. I waited over 30 mins for someone to even come to my table and i told him i had been waiting and wanted to order something else and he said, "its ok" then walked away and didnt come back. 10 mins later and im having to flag the other guy down so i can finally order. 40+ minutes just tor order one more item. The service here is terrible. They dont even care that you waited forever. There needs to be better management. When i worked at Denny's my managers would never have allowed us to treat customers that way.
The waiter kept getting things wrong. To begin with he didn't bring us our drinks. We wanted seasoned fries as a substitute but he brought regular fries and then tried to charge us for the extra seasoned fries he brought to us. My biscuit and gravy did not have enough gravy which made it dry. My girlfriend's omelette didn't have bacon on it but the picture showed it with bacon. And all the food was just on the plate nothing special
One of my daughters was dining this evening with her classmates. I asked her to order a big nachos. When she arrived t home with the food, we were sad to see how little there was and not all the ingredients. While we mixed the food around hoping to see the rest of the ingredients in the bottom; our surprise was even devastating. We found a huge napkin within the food. I have called the store four times; the first two people told me to wait but the call dropped every time. I requested to speak with a manager but nothing! This is extremely disgusting and unsanitary. Our stomachs are hurting (unfortunately we took a couple of bites before we found the napkin. Honestly, our serving looks like it was made of leftovers from other customers! I wanted to post a video of my serving but it looks like this website won’t allow me!
