For more than 65 years Denny's has been bringing people together over great food. It's the place where people can relax and be themselves; where they can enjoy classic American comfort food and everyday value. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Here, you ca

We typically stop here on the way through town in the later evening (after 7:00 pm) so typically do not have any issues being seated, or having to wait. The service is typically very good and they will check in often, the food is always hot, fresh, and good, about what you would expect to get at a Denny's, they do have a good menu selection and we can usually find something that we want (Breakfast, Burger, Sandwich, or a special). Decent prices for the meals, and they have the $2, $4, $6, and $8 dollar menu as well. Since we typically are stopping later in the evening, we have Salad, Burger, or Sandwich. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out.

Another dependable stop for fast food that is fresh and made to order. The amazing thing about Subway is the process of walking along the line and selecting the ingredients yourself. Makes the eating even better.

My wife had an Sirloin w/ grilled Avocado & Fresco Salad, which was a great-tasting light dinner. I had Sirloin w/ grilled Shrimp, w/ a sweet Ancho Chili sauce, which tasted great. We both remarked that our steaks were more tender than some Steakhouses. The dinner plate wasn't as light as my wife's, but I liked the "loaded" mashed potatoes and asparagus. I also had a $5 Presidente Margarita (Thursdays), as I wasn't driving the rest of the way home. The service was a tad slow; but it was still dinner-rush with some birthday parties going on.

About $6 gets you smaller portion breakfast before 8a. This is about 1/2 regular portion breakfast. Not bad deal. Food is pretty good. Nice service, family kind of place. Coffee was ok, small cups.

We stopped off in Los Banos looking for somewhere to eat and stumbled across this diner, which is part of a drugstore. The staff and customers were all super friendly and the food and drinks were plentiful. Probably the best thing in Los Banos!

I've eaten at one other Black Bear Diner, in Colorado Springs one year ago. When I saw a Black Bear in Los Banos, I was shocked, and happy at the same time!Went in for breakfast with family. Had eggs, sausage, hash browns, toast, and grits. Wow, so much to eat, but I did! Loved it, and I when I return to Los Banos, CA., I'll be there again!
2. Hot City Barbeque & Bistro

My husband and I shared a fantastic Tri-Tip supper here and highly recommend Hot City! The tender moist slices of tri-tip were generous and nicely seasoned by themselves, though we did experiment with the Original and Hot BBQ sauces, which were complex and very good. The homemade coleslaw served with this dish was really wonderful, artisan-cut cabbage with a mild, not-too-sweet dressing, and the seasoned cowboy beans on the side were also wonderful. We added a baked potato to this dish, which we split, and it was served with a generous side of sour cream, which made the meal complete. We had sun tea with our dinner and it was nicely done, as well. We were honestly pretty full sharing this one meal, but wow, if you had leftovers, that wouldnât be a problem, would it?!

This place is a delight! From Montana here and traveling I-5 heading south to Oxnard, we spent the night at the Best Western then stopped at Eddieâs for breakfast on our way back to the freeway. Our energetic, joyful, 51 yo waitress delivered our morning meal with a smile and the best Chicken Fried Steak my husband has ever had. We will definitely return on our next Pass through Los Banos.
