Came in for a quick bite with my husband. The food was delicious, by far one of the best Denny’s I’ve been to. This location seemed much nicer and cleaner than others I’ve been to in the past. Robert was fantastic. A++ service! He took great care of us, and his recommendations were on point. Ask for Robert the next time you’re in, he’ll take good care of you!

This place is sort of a hidden gem. Auburn and Watt not the best of places one who knows not would assume but of all the Sacramento Denny’s this one is our very favorite. Yana was an A++. Representing what customer service used to be. Attentive, customer oriented and knowledgeable about her Dennys menu this lady ROCKED IT. Not to mention friendly to the perfect degree. No fake smiles here with her. Just super cool laid back, top notch service. If you love or even like Denny’s with good service this is your joint. Sacs best Dennys by quite alot.

Five stars for our server, Mackayla! She was an overall amazing server and we will be coming back to this specific Denny's just for her service. She was so sweet and had an amazing bubbly positive attitude the entire time. She knew the menu inside and out and made wonderful recommendations. She came to check on us multiple times and was very engaging. Overall great experience.

Came in the other day for the birthday slam, could not have been more impressed with the service and quality of food. Robert recommended some biscuits and gravy and an orange juice to go with it. Ended up getting a slice of cheese cake at the end. Nice atmosphere too, friendly staff. If you’re ever passing by definitely a place to stop

When dining in on my lunch break Yana delivered exceptional top notch quality service. Bringing joy and comfort to my dining experience. Even being her last table to serve before ending her shift she still delivered fantastic service. I 100 percent Recommend dining at this location with Yana as your server.
