I dont usually go to denny's but i was passing thru town at midnight (leaving shoreline and headed back to sacramento) and didnt feel like scouring for food. there was a guy sleeping in a booth, no big deal. a guy sleeping on the bench...at the counter, also no big deal. the waiter was prompt in taking our drink order, a water and a coffee. then disappeared for 20 minutes. came back to take our food order without our drinks. i ordered 2 eggs and a hash brown, my wife got the same plus a biscuit. waiter came back 30 minutes in with our drinks. waiter left for another 20 minutes and then came back, to take our order again! when we mentioned he had already taken our order he said, "oh yeah, your order will be ready soon". at this point its been 50 minutes total and were starving and getting pretty upset. at the one hour mark we get up to just leave. i try to pay for my coffee and the waiter says i have to wait for the manager. i tell him i just want to pay for my coffee and GTFO there. he says my coffee is free. i realize it's midnight in el cerrito, and i realize im at denny's. but i have no idea how it takes an HOUR for a plate of eggs and a hash brown. not a fan of leaving this kind of review but if you are passing thru town and need a late night, on your drive home snack / meal, SKIP THIS PLACE ENTIRELY and go to the jack in the box across the street.More
