I have to say that I have never been as happy as I was when I saw that there was a Denny's in this town as the other eating establishments were even worse looking!

Typical Denny's. I am on a low carb diet so it's hard to find good food here. I was greeted at the door by the host who wished me a "Good Morning" (I was there for dinner). My response: "Good morning?", Host: "Yes, it's always a good morning at Denny's". Some great marketing campaign there...

After perusing the Carb laden menu I decided to get the grilled chicken breast with rice replaced by extra vegetables. The food arrived quickly. The chicken had a pool of cooking grease in the middle. Yum! All this while I was able to watch a Flatscreen TV hanging from the ceiling with the "Denny's" channel. Does Denny's really need to bring one of the worst habits in America of eating in front of the TV into the Dining Room?

I came back for breakfast. I was looking forward to the "Good Morning" greeting as it would actually make sense! Or, would they wish me a "Good Evening" to push their dinner menu? Neither it turns out. Just a simple "Hi".

Sat down and was able to find a good low-carb omelet (thank goodness for Breakfast). The TV was cranking out a fitness program encouraging the audience to "get into it". Uh, Denny's, have you looked at your target market? Suffered through decent coffee and headed off to Starbucks for a follow-up.

Good service though...

Wow, I thought for sure I was going to be the first to review this place!

Stopped here on my way to Long Beach for a cruise the family and I were taking. We thought this would be okay as Denny's are generic and the food would be okay. The food was okay; however, the service was horrible. We must have been 1 of 4 tables that were seated and it took over 20 minutes to get drinks and another 20 for them to take our order. I understand that things don't move as fast here as they do in San Jose, but damn, they were sllllllloooowwwwwwww!

I wouldn't stop here again. There is an IHOP the next exit or two and we stopped there on the way back. Food and Service were 100x better.

Yucky icky.  Understaffed, unspectacular food, and cramped restrooms.  Use this if you must.

I always drop by whenever I travel from northern to southern California (and vice versa). Service was a bit slow last time I went there but that's just because it was really busy. Or at least that's what the waitress said. Food is great. My cappuccino was very tasty.

3 stars because of the wait & the food was a little above average

My dad is a personal GSP unit when it comes to Denny's. He knows the locations of them all. So, naturally, when we needed to decide where to stop on the 5 between LA a& SF, he steered us toward Button willow's Denny's.
The wait staff was exceptionally patient and accommodating, considering my family is crazy when alone individually and just unbearable when together. It took very little time to get seated. There was a crowd as it was the end of UC Berkeley's spring break week, but turnover was high.
The food was just fine. I had the Lumberjack Slam. It was tasty enough for me to be satisfied, but not too tasty that I felt I had to eat more than half of this plate of fat. I always forget that the default at Denny's is to butter toast to high heaven.
The parking lot is not to terribly packed. There are gas stations all over for your car to refuel after you do. The restrooms are not clean, but they are better than the gas station options.  If you are too timid to try the mom 'n' pops in the area, this Denny's is a fairly safe bet.
