What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 17 reviews more than any other: the staff. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.3, so it reads as a strength.

12 of 17 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower. Behind those, speed of service is raised in 18% of reviews (4.0 average). The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (9 of 17).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (98/100) with 2 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was May 7, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 80% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited other conditions of sanitary & safe operation.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Christina is an awesome server! She was the only server when we got here and was handling 9 tables on her own and didn't even miss a beat. Kudos to her! 6/14=Very greasy vegetables in my omelet and the Belgian waffle could have been mistaken for cardboard

    I enjoyed it

  • June 13, 2026

    Honnêtement, c'est pas fou. De la bouffe américaine pleine de calories. Ça dépanne. Le milkshake a la fraise était bon.

    Didn't taste the food until I back to the hotel it was an Alaskan fried fish but for two orders this was extremely expensive it was $35 and some change it was not worth what was charged for the meal at al!!!! Now they had a man at the front taking the order his name is Virgil he was extremely engaging and charming love the conversation, the staff with very friendly but that's all I loved about this place 😞

  • June 10, 2026

    We had Angela as our waitress and she was absolutely amazing! She had an amazing attitude and made sure we were taken care of the sentiré time we were there. She was one of the best waitresses I’ve ever experienced, especially at a 24 hour Dennys. She was amazing! Highly recommend Angela!

    Our family had breakfast at 5825 International Drive Denny's today. Every member of staff we came into contact with from the Man who greeted us at the door, then the Man and lady who bought our food out to the man who collected the dishes after we had finished was excellent however the star of the show was our server Jason. What a legend and what a fab front of house server, He was so friendly and helpful and we just loved him!!!! The food was unbelievable too and at very good prices. Sadly this was the last day of our holiday otherwise we would have definitely returned again. We would definitely recommend a visit. A truly memorable breakfast and a fabulous way to end our holiday. Thank you all !!

    So the service was incredibly fast the waiter wasn’t playing she was quick. She got our order done so fast I couldn’t give less than 3 stars you can tell she has really good work ethic. I honestly wouldn’t give a review for the food it was subpar. I got a French toast slam but there’s nothing slam about the meal other than it costs 14.99 because it looks like it’s meant to be for a child. The small round French toast isn’t what it used to be they used to serve full size French toast so yeah everything was small on the plate not filling. Won’t be returning thank you!
