Denny’s

Denny’s is basic food available any time. This location is as good as any Denny’s I’ve been to. Basic meal and prompt friendly service

Possibly the last time I ever set foot in here again. Front desk management of who gets seated in what order is abysmal. ABYSMAL. Just walked out of there on a DEAD Saturday night while the front desk was dealing with a «crisis». No problem. I was patient. I waited. And then a waitress came from the back and sat the people in line behind me first. UNBELIEVABLY RUDE.
Not the first time this has happened. It’s a chronic problem. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is paying attention to shovelled on or in what order. People don’t mind waiting but the system has to be fair and people have to know that they will be seated in the order they arrive… not from some waitress from $!&@ that runs up tip the front desk, looks at everybody and says «who’s next?». As I said, maybe mistakes can be forgiven when they are slammed but this was ridiculous, the restaurant was EMPTY.

Denny’s is a place to grab a quick breakfast, as you most likely know, and this West end location is no different. It’s usually pretty busy here, and there isn’t much privacy from the other customers.
Our server was very friendly, but my food was not great (I didn’t finish my ‘Moon-​Over-​My-​Hammy’ sandwich), and the coffee was actually more expensive than Starbucks!
To be honest, by the time I was out of there, I wished we had just gone to a fast food joint instead.
I Heart Edmonton,

Honestly, I’ve always really liked Denny’s for breakfast or late night eats. I used to go to the one across from Grant MacEwan almost every night because I worked until two or three a.m. when I was single.
I like this location for the same reason I liked the other one… Consistently good food and good service at decent prices. My coffee cup is never dry and I definitely feel I’m getting more food for my money.
For the record, I had a Grandslamwich on my last visit. The bread was grilled and the sandwich itself was pretty packed with egg, ham, cheese, etc. – really hardy and thick. Yes, it came with those dehydrated hashbrown shreds. I like them! I think it’s clever prep work and I’d rather eat those than over-​processed tater tots any day. The only disappointment was that the ham was a little too sweet. It had a heavy maple glaze.
Other favorites I’ve had there are the Fajitas and the Grandslam breakfast. Both are perfect examples of getting a lot for your money. The plates are HUGE!

We have been here twice recently on a Sat. for breakfast. This location seems to be very busy as the entrance is always crowded with people waiting for a table. Both times we arrived around 10:30 a.m. and waited about 15 minutes for a table so considering how busy it was, we found that quick.
The host staff offer quick service with leading us to our table and handing us the menu. The waitress came right away to ask what we wanted for beverages, she was also funny instead of serious and grumpy as you would think since the restaurant has probably been non-​stop since early morning. I’ve ordered the Ultimate Skillet twice since I liked it so much. It was a bit greasy the second time I had it. My husband likes prime rib so anything with that in it he will order. The first time he had the Philly Cheesesteak omelette which he really enjoyed. The second time he tried the Bennies. He also enjoyed it but I thought it looked a bit dry and the hollandaise sauce was a bit skimpy.
The portions were just right for breakfast and I think they have great prices. We don’t eat lunch when we come here for breakfast. When we are on vacation, we usually look for a Denny’s since we are on the go and we know we won’t need to stop for lunch.

This place is always packed with people during the day. Food are always out fast and hot whereas service is mostly friendly, accurate and fast. My favourite breakfast item is the Salsa Sensation (poached medium eggs on breakfast muffins with salsa mix in the middle and shredded hash browns to top it all off. It never fails to satisfy my palate and I did have it anytime of the day. Been in and out here during the day and night — one thing I know from experience is that the service aren’t that great during the night time.
The restaurant was awfully dirty for a middle of the night service — the server even had the cheek to put down dirty glasses on the table where me and my partner were not even half way through our food. Lack of consideration by the server was shocking. Other than that, I even had to get out of my seat to ask for a bigger glass of water when we couldn’t find any opportunity to grab our server’s attention. Never had any issues with the day servers except for the unfortunate night ones. Doubt I’ll even consider coming here again during my night cravings.

Denny’s food is consistent. Tasty with a bit of grease:) The fit fare menu is a good option although a slightly larger serving option would be nice.
This Denny’s was average. Good service. Good food. Last visit we had was not amazing. The restaurant could use a scrub.

cold food
slow service
no refills on the soda
took forever to cash out

My husband, son and I went to Dennys for lunch, service was non existent till I asked for service. Finally, waitress showed up with our beverage. Then we had to wait to give our order, again asked for service, Finally, order taken, then waited for our meal. It finally arrived. Son had to rush thru his meal, as he only had 1 hour for lunch. I wrote and emailed the restaurant after complaining about the service, and was told by the manager that he thought I was complaining because I wanted a free meal. Told them we were regular cutomers and that they were not exactly a high end restaurant. The coupons for specials for their rewards club? Non existant now.

All-​day breakfast rules!
Anyone who is cool doesn’t get out of bed until noon. And as soon as we’re out of bed we’re hungry. It’s just too bad that Denny’s is one of the few restaurants that serve breakfast all day.
I had the build-​your-​own Grand Slam combo. I went with the «build-​my-​own» option because it was the only way that I could get a combo that didn’t come with eggs. (What in the hell do humans eat eggs for anyway?) I ordered bacon, hash browns, toast, and pancakes. The hash browns were the stringy kind. Kinda like those noodle-​type things that you can make with a Play-​Doh Fun Factory. I didn’t care for them. Everything else was okay.
Our server was a teen-​aged Annie Lennox who had travelled about 40 years into the future to serve me breakfast (at 4 PM.) At least she looked like her. I was a little concerned at first because she didn’t write down our orders as we were reciting them to her. But it turns out that she just has a really good memory because she got everything right. She was also attentive with refilling my coffee.
My only complaint about our trip here was that it was cold. If you’re seated close to the door, be prepared to freeze. People that were seated around us couldn’t change tables fast enough once a better spot opened up. Violet P and I were troopers though, we toughed out the elements. Inside.
I just come here for breakfast food.

There doesn’t seem to be enough places to have breakfast for dinner and since my husband was craving that, we ended up at Denny’s. I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast food so I opted for a clubhouse sandwich and crinkle cut fries. The food was ok but how can you have a bad clubhouse?
The service was fine and we were seated promptly. There are usually lots of families here and they also have tvs so you can catch a hockey game too. The prices are cheaper than other places but that’s to be expected for family style dining place. With all the other restaurants around, I won’t be making a special trip to Denny’s for a clubhouse sandwich. However, if I was in the mood for a big breakfast, I may be back.

«A convenient place to meet for a morning business meeting» — i guess thats what the locals might say — me, me thinks not!
I havent had Denny’s in a very long time, in fact i think this is the first time i have had it not being totally drunk at 2am. Normally i would think Denny’s was great, but now i understand it is because i have never been sober when eating it — until now!
So going there for a morning business meeting over breakfast — i had to have the grand slam breakfast. It was really disgusting! Hashbrowns were so dry i couldnt eat them without covering them in ketchup, bacon was burnt and eggs were boring. Funny thing too — we had coffee (obviously) and the waitress would literally be asking us to refill our coffee every minute! We would tell her no, then a different waitress would come by, then repeat and repeat! We found it kind of funny — but annoying at the same time.
Next time im going to suggest a morning McDonalds meeting opposed to Dennys, at least there i know what i am getting!

So I am a little weird, it was my birthday and I wanted breakfast for lunch. There were a couple of restaurants that could have fit that were close to my office, unfortunately I chose Denny’s.
I arrived at quarter past noon and they were fairly busy. I was seated very quickly and my drink order was taken (a water and a cup of coffee). Well, that was it for the good part.
Ten minutes later my waitress/​server comes over and asks if I am ready to order, I reply «I haven’t looked at the menu, I was hoping to get a beverage first, which I ordered ten minutes ago.» In a look of total shock (I should nominate her for a daytime Emmy), she replies «oh my, what was your order? I will get them right away».
5 minutes later my water and the most horrid excuse for coffee arrives. I place my order, classic eggs benedict (poached soft) with red potatoes home fries. I am asked if I want the cheese and bacon topping on my red potatoes, I figured what the heck a 600 point boost to you cholesterol is warranted on your birthday so I said sure why not. My server reinforces how delicious the topping will be.
Over the next twenty minutes, while continually adding packet after packet of sugar to my coffee trying to make it palatable, I was able to keep myself occupied with Twitter on my iPhone.
So it is now 40 minutes into my half hour lunch break and my lunch arrives with shredded hash browns not the anticipated red potatoes. My server puts it down in front of me and says «they gave you the wrong potatoes, it will only take a second to get them to change them». I think to myself «if it only takes a second and you knew they were wrong, why didn’t you just get them fixed right away?» Being the polite and starving birthday boy I say they will be fine, I just want to eat and get back to work.
I dig into my eggs Benny (poached medium — enough said) and then take a bite of the hash browns. Did you know that once you take a bite of burnt potatoes everything else after that tastes like crap too? If I didn’t know that before I do know it now. I finished off the eggs, hoping the packaged hollandaise sauce would kill the burnt taste (no such luck).
One check in on Unilocal means you’ve given them a shot, two check ins make you a regular. Bet you can guess who won’t be a regular! When can we start giving negative stars?

I adore Denny’s, I really do. Where else can I get my buffalo covered chicken fingers at 6 in the morning? Not going too lie those pancakes are fantastic as well.
BUT, here’s where I get to ranting. The bacon, hard too mess up but when it comes too my table with one piece crispy and nice and the rest raw I tend to get a little cranky. There servers are a bit of a hit and miss. I’ve had one who was hands down stellar. She even cut my boyfriends sausage pieces too look like little tasty octopus’s. Guess what it has beer now!
The coffee is alrighty, and really if your going too Denny’s I am positive you’re not going for a 4 star meal. It’s filling, it works, and open 24 hours for all those bar stars like me out there. Let’s also admit when you’re drunk Denny’s is pretty damn great. It’s like hitting the 24 hour mozza stick jack pot. SO if I was writing this inebriated it would get 5 stars and the review might look like this AKJHDKJASHF, but I am not so it’s getting 3 stars and a thank you for doing what you do Dennys.
