Denny's 1019 East Main Street, Santa Maria, CA 93454

"Denny's is a staple for a quick breakfast or a meal. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served here. The food is mediocre at best, and the same in all Denny's restaurants. Today, we went for breakfast at the Santa Maria location. The menu is vast, filled with all sorts of combinations to the point where it gets confusing. I wanted a pancake with eggs and a sausage. Seemed like a simple request, but this combination comes in more than ten ways with various prices. I almost ordered the items separately because I did not want all the extras for $17. The waiter showed me a simple breakfast menu where they serve two pancakes, two eggs, sausages, and hash browns for $7.49. When the bill came, I was charged the $17. Which only the manager could rectify. Time waster. In fact, after we were seated, it took a while to place our order. Then, after 40 minutes and guests who arrived after us were being served, we had to locate the server and ask about our order. I believe he never put it in because it took another 15 minutes before we were served. We had to find our server again to ask for our check, which was wrong as mentioned. It took us just under two hours for a quick mediocre breakfast. Very upsetting. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. The sausage and hash browns were good. My friends omelet was very basic and not warm. My other friend had a breakfast sandwich with lacked the "breakfast" part and was also served not warm. The coffee was good, and I liked that they provided a small metal pot at the table, enabling the customer to pour their own refills. I think the server may have had some problems, which is why our order took so long and why he never checked on us or wrote up our order correctly. The restaurant was clean. There were many customers inside the restaurant and several customers picking up to-go orders. There was adequate parking. The employees were well presented, just not on top of customer service or helping each other out."

"Our visit to this Danny's Restaurant was amazing. Great costumer service, and the food was prepared in a timely manner. The food was prepared well and tasted great. We highly recommend this restaurant to all our friends and family."

"Horrendous wait times. Food is very basic here. Simple and overpriced. Coffee was ok got chocolate chip pancakes, side of greasy hash browns."

"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 and more like a sponge. The hash browns were perfectly cooked! The bacon was obviously pre-cooked and not hot or crisp. The orange juice was very good."
