I visited Denny’s recently for a casual meal, and overall it was a fairly satisfying experience. The steak I ordered had decent flavor, though the doneness wasn’t handled as accurately as I expected — it came out slightly overcooked compared to what I requested. While the main dish wasn’t perfect, the sides and drinks were consistent with what you’d expect from a classic American diner.
What makes Denny’s appealing is its reliability and convenience. Being open 24 hours is a huge advantage, especially for travelers, night owls, or anyone looking for a warm meal outside typical dining hours. The menu offers a wide range of breakfast items, burgers, pancakes, and comfort food staples, so it’s easy to find something suitable regardless of your preference.
The dining environment is relaxed, with a typical diner-style interior that feels casual and welcoming. Service was acceptable — not exceptionally fast, but friendly enough and attentive when needed. The drink I ordered was refreshing, and the portion sizes were generous.
While Denny’s may not deliver gourmet-level dishes, it remains a dependable choice for a straightforward breakfast or late-night meal. If you’re looking for convenience and variety, this location is still one of the better options in the area.

Overall, the experience was nice, but prices went up since the last time I visited Denny’s, plus the vibe of the “60’s American dinner”which I liked, has definitely died now. (Design wise).
Other than that, food was overall decent. Denny’s is definitely not a place to eat meat , but I will suggest come to Dennys for American breakfast.
Our waitress (I don’t know her name, sorry)
A Black female with short blonde hair, was overall okay but did have a bit of an attitude and said some things that were out of place. I wasn’t offended but some costumers might would have.
Not sure I’ll be back soon or maybe I’ll try a different Denny’s . 3/5 overall experience.

We came in late so no line, we got seated immediately by a window. Food was served quickly. We both had hamburgers which were very good, fries were ok. I asked for no pickles, my husband asked for no tomatoes or lettuce – they were in there but we just pulled them out. There was a noisy customer in the next booth but …..

Jennifer and Hunter were absolutely amazing and fantastic. To be completely honest, this was my first time at Denny’s and the hospitality blew me away. The food was tasty, drink was refreshing, and the service is what made my experience here special. I came here to study with my friends for finals week in college, and they helped us to get our coffee and food all ready to help fuel our study session, and the friendliness made me enjoy my experience. I would love to come back, and I am sure to come back.

Our server was great, lots of various dishes on the menu, milkshakes used to be served with the metal tin with extra milkshake in it, not this place

Friendly staff. Nice and clean restaurant. Was seated next to noisy entrance and almost no window view. It would have been nice with a little quieter seat and a window view. A little long wait for the food which however tasted good. A little more attention from the waiter would have been nice as I ran out of coffee and my mug wasn’t replenished. Maybe it was their way of telling me that I overstayed my welcome and it was time to leave however they weren’t busy at all. Very few customers.

Everybody knows Denny’s, so nothing here is a surprise. And pretty much every Denny’s here are very similar to each other. Even ones that I have seen overseas are pretty much the same too. They have a mixed menu of breakfast items and dinner entrées and a handful of appetizers. Everything they have is reasonably tasty, although not necessarily super healthy. The service is sometimes a little iffy, but the one huge plus is that it’s open all day, every day. And in Berkeley, unlike a lot of other places that are open late, but for whatever reason, leave their doors open, so it’s freezing cold, it’s actually warm inside. That alone is enough to give this the edge on most other places.

The staff here dont know what to do when a blind person comes to eat by themselves. A lady pointed and said “go over there” which means nothing to me. After I explained that, she tried to grab my cane to pull me to a table. I asked where the restroom was and another lady just said ” back there,” then walked away. Oh well. The food was decent.

JENNY!!! She is the most amazing sweetest kindest server ! She deserves a raise, she treated us like family! As for the other very rude server black woman with short blonde hair, she scared a few customers away because she was so rude and mean. I don’t know how Jenny puts up with her on top of being an amazing human being. We loved her!
