Denny's — Restaurant in Merced

I recently went last night on Valentine's day with my 4 children and they were packed! The hostess was very polite she continuously kept asking everyone did they check in just to make sure she didn't miss anyone. She asked if we wanted a booth with a smaller table or if I wanted to wait longer so she was very attentive to our needs. I had to change my to infants and they had a changing table in both the men's and women's restroom and the reason I know this is because I accidentally went into the men's restroom thinking it was a unisex restroom I didn't read the sign I was too focused on my baby! LOL! Both the bathrooms were very clean and very presentable. There's a lot of seating space in the resturant and tables that can be combined for larger parties and that's where I sat in the very back I carefully watched all the staff and every one of them were smiling they were friendly to one another they were polite to the Cooks in the back and they were very attentive and friendly to the needs of their customers we placed our order right away and our food took no more than 15 minutes to wait for the food was large portions even the kids food where large portions. The tables and the floor was really clean.. even the busser he was on top of it.. each table that was vacant he quickly started cleaning it and sweeping for the next customer. There are high chairs and booster seats for the kids there is also a toy vending machine for the kids to play and candy machines. My family had a great experience and the prices were excellent and the food was really good staff is polite quick and attentive..I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large family and to all my friends and I will surely go again great...

This is up there with the best diners around, everything from the food to the service to the bathrooms is just about as good as it gets.

The host was very friendly and polite both when showing us to our table and when we paid for our food, overall a great host.

The waitress was also very friendly and attentive to the orders, she also brought out our food (many plates) in an excellent fashion.

The most important part of the experience, the food, was also great. I personally had the tenders with mac n cheese and fries. The tenders were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading that was constructed well to not be too sticky nor too loose on the tenders, there was no cartilage or bones to speak of, overall excellent tenders. The mac n cheese side was also great with a good amount of cheese and well sized loops, nothing too noteworthy but a good side regardless. The fries were also good but nothing noteworthy, perhaps a little damp but other than that the dinner was amazing, my friends seemed to also enjoy all their dinners with no issues. One thing that may be cause for concern though is the mashed potatoes, they aren't the best and I recommend avoiding them, Denny's in general doesn't do mashed potatoes well and this one isn't any different.

The bathrooms are also great, they are very clean, I did not see anything wrong with anything in there, it's definitely a good place to wash up after a good meal.

I would definitely recommend Denny's to anyone wanting a breakfast, lunch or...

I came here to work late night on my computer (like I usually do when in town) and I couldn’t connect to WiFi. I asked for assistance, the male manager with grey hair and glasses came over. He was showing me how it was working on his device explaining the basic steps of selecting WiFi and how the service portal pops up for him so there’s no problem. (The whole point was- this was not working for me, the portal wouldn’t pop up) so I replied “I hear you, respectfully, what I’m trying to explain is the portal doesn’t pop up for me” he walks away without saying a word, and so I asked as he walked away “you’re just going to walk away? I was just trying to tell you that the portal isn’t working” so which he replied “I was trynna show you but it’s cool” in a super hostile manner, then when I told the server how he was towards me and how it made me uncomfortable she apologized for him, and said she didn’t want to say anything because she may get in trouble by him…. So basically created a hostile environment for i don’t even know what reason…fragile ego? Super weird. I hope corporate reads this. You guys can do better than him in...
