The prices are no different than a better alternative. If I'd realized this I'd have gone to Farmer's. This said I ordered off the 55+ menu and got quite a bit of food for $8.69. It seems most customers are seniors and use this menu. I'm full and it tastes good. The service is good too.

When visiting Chico, we generally stop in to this Denny's at least once. The customer service is good, the food is also good and prepared quickly, and the prices are reasonable. My only ding would be that the entrance doors and waiting area often are not clean. That being said, I do recommend this restaurant.

Terrible service. Went last week with my wife and son, they put us in the corner of the restaurant behind where the servers are. Right next to another table with a toddler. That was okay for the time being. Up until my son dropped his car and I went to grab it and I see the car landed in a bunch of black dirt/ grime. Had an oily texture on the car so I took a photo. Made the eating a lot harder knowing we're sitting at a place that hasn't been cleaned clearly or even mopped properly. Underneath the table was the most disturbing part about it all on top of the fact that the waitress came to take our order, dropped food off, and never came back to us until the very end even though we needed boxes for my wife food and sons food. We ended up leaving the food because she never brought boxes and we didn't feel like having to continue to wait even longer. On top of that, the table next to us left, and 25minutes goes by and no one ever came to clear the table off but watched other tables get cleared and seated. But it was the corner so they didn't care.
We decided to give it another try on another day but I asked not to be seated in the corner. Lady at the counter didn't get her name but you can tell she isn't meant for customer service. Over heard here complaining to another employee about how no one made copies of the last kids menu but it seems like she is at the counter so it would be her responsibility to keep track of it. After she found a booth she told me it needed to be wiped down, we waited a minute for her to wipe the table off but when we go to sit, my side of the booth has milk on the seat. (I can't go into the booth all the way). When she was on her way back with utensils I mentioned if I could get a napkin to wipe the seat, the same lady from the beginning gave a dirty ass look like I asked her to do something crazy. I take it very serious about customer service and people having bad days but because of her overall attitude from the beginning , I told my family we were leaving because I wasn't going to deal with a dirty slimy floor again and on top of that deal with rude waitresses. I wish I could leave no stars because the people at the front are the main reason why I'll never come back to dennys. Also plan to get the DM involved with these photos I've taken. They do not clean the place or mop at all. Just wipe tables apparently. I'm not the type to do reviews but when an experience like that and I can't get the DM contact. This my only choice to prevent other families with kids to stay away from this establishment because it's not clean to eat here.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lisa L.Sandpoint, ID067105Aug 15, 2023
I can't remember the last time I've been to Dennys, I always seem to end up at one of the other breakfast spots in Chico. But today decided to take my grandson to try it out and it did not disappoint. The food came out very hot which I love and the service was wonderful. My grandson highly enjoyed it and will be bringing him back again.

This place literally served me 10 French fries with my super bird. The food portions here are very small for a lot of money. The chicken strips we ordered were burnt. The waitress also had dirty finger nails and was under the influence of some kind of narcotic. I would say meth by how she was behaving. I would stay away even when you're drunk.

$15.58 for a double cheeseburger and fries. Drink not included. Tip not included.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Aug 13, 2022Previous reviewPros:
- Customer service has improved noticeably (see Dakota F.)
- Food is well made
- Interior has been updated
Cons:
- Insane prices
- Dirty (windows, flies)
$13.99 for a double cheeseburger and fries. $14.99 if you want seasoned fries. Hope you like tap water for a drink or else you'll need to cough-up another $4.
Unfortunately I don't expect to see many Denny's in the Sacramento Valley survive unless their pricing changes.Mar 21, 2014Previous reviewPros:
- New(ish) interior is nice.
- Waitstaff is improving.
- Food is well prepared.
Cons:
- Overpriced.
- Understaffed at times (think holidays and peak hours.)
Around 2009 I stopped going to this Denny's. The food prices about doubled in a year's time, the staff was pretty bad all around, and my food was never prepared the way I ordered it. After not visiting for a few years I gave it another shot. The redesigned interior (really just the old interior with dark woods and new stuff) is a huge improvement and helps to give the place a nicer feel. The staff has been continually improving, and are usually quite friendly and competent. They're getting away from that high-turnaround that you see frequently in Chico that leaves customers to constantly deal with new employees. Finally, I've been impressed with how consistently my food is well prepared. When you add in all the coupons they email me or send in the mail ($5 off of $20, 20% off your total, etc.) it becomes an attractive choice.
It's also a good place to go to avoid the whole downtown bar scene/transient/college student mess. - Kim L.Chico, CA3351May 30, 2023
My husband and I just ate here the service was very poor. There was maybe 6 customers in the restaurant. The waitress took her sweet time getting to us for our order. Also we barely made it home and we got sick. We will never eat there again. I highly do not recommend this place even if the price is right. The place was clean but otherwise not worth the time and money.
