Denny’s

Had an awesome time at Dennys yesterday. Their menu is pretty extensive but always includes new limited edition items like the independence day grand slam which was absolutely delicious. This is the kind of place where everyone in your party will find something they like in the menu. Our server was on the ball and was super nice and efficient. All of us really enjoyed our meals and we were impressed that food made at midnight didn’t taste awful or look less than appetizing. I never really ventured into Dennys before but I most certainly will come back and be a loyal customer! I love their pancakes!

Total rip off and sub-​par food in my opinion!
Went here for breakfast and discovered the birthday free deal is on the «original grand slam» which is eggs, sausage, beacon and pancake only. A cup of coffee was almost three bucks! Add my son’s french toast, milk and juice — and $ 3.69 extra charge for my hash brown the total came to $$ 39.71 before b-​day discount. With discount the breakfast came to $ 28.08 after tax.
Now this rant isn’t so much about the outrageous bill as it is about how much I had to paid for a sub par meal. For the after discount $ I would have had a better meal at Cora’s, Sunset Grill or Fran’s. Holy crap.
Spoke to the manager who I could barely understand (his English) but that just amounted to me having cent of my surprise and frustration.
I was a fan of Denny’s (back when I lived in Vancouver) but this sucky experience means no love for the chain from now on.
I recommend going to the other places I mentioned above instead, well before stepping into a Denny’s in Toronto.

I came here on Good Friday for brunch it wasn’t packed or anything. We were seated almost immediately.
I ordered the classic eggs Benny and the eggs were poached to perfection. The hollandaise sauce however I found it to be a little bit too salty but I liked the thick texture. I wished they would service it with fruits tho.
Overall, it was an average experience but I will revisit this chain again. This place is more pleasant than Fran’s. The atmosphere is more relaxing whereas I felt the environment at Fran’s to be really chaotic and less privacy between tables.

It’s a Denny’s. Don’t compare it to some fancy brunch place by Liberty Village, or that nice diner you found on some posh little street in Yorkville, it’s a DENNY’S. It’s open 24-​hours and they serve their full menu for the entire duration — it’s a place you generally eat at for convenience, and some days you just want to feel bad for yourself and stuff yourself with greasy food that’s bad for your health. This place is perfect for those occasions.
It’s only fair to compare Denny’s to similar diners that offer a similar 24-​hour service — so compared to Fran’s and Golden Griddle, Denny’s comes out on top. Not the very top of diner chains though, because it doesn’t beat IHOP. Mmm… IHOP.
Anyway, I dropped by on a Tuesday for lunch after having a crummy day and left feeling a lot better. My server was friendly and full of smiles, which was nice because I was feeling like shit. My food came out quickly and it tasted exactly like the way it looked, full of grease, full of meat, and full of calories. It was the perfect remedy to my mood.
For me the best time to binge on this kind of food is after a night of making poor life choices, because going to Denny’s is a good choice in that context. Going to Fran’s on the other hand makes me feel like I’ve just made another bad choice and I just feel worse coming out than I did going in, so I’m glad to see that I now have more options to choose from. For now, Denny’s will be my go-​to for late-​night diners — you’ll probably see me there at 3AM on the weekends.

A free Birthday Slam on your birthday, just show government ID. Yay Denny’s!
Consists of:
— Pancakes
— Bacon & Sausage
— Two eggs
Our server was amazing — very nice sweet filipina lady.

Came back today for another Original Grand Slam because of their anniversary promotion. The bacon and sausage were cooked from frozen so there was no problem there but the eggs were disappointing. I ordered my eggs scrambled this time instead of poached and they came out tough and cold. The pancakes were alright — not the fluffiest but not a bad texture either.

Denny’s Denny’s Denny’s can’t you see… sometimes your breakfast just hypnotizes me. This place is great. I am so glad they opened up a Denny’s downtown because it is the ultimate go to place before heading over to the Eaton Center to get some shopping done. I usually get their big breakfast which includes, eggs, hashbrowns, 2 pancakes and 2 pieces of bacon. Although it isn’t big portions they are very filling and their hashbrowns do hit the spot!
If Frans is full and you are near the downtown core, definitely pop by Dennys. The service is amazing as their waiters and waitresses are very attentive and make sure your tables are clean before sitting down at it. The only thing is you have to ask them for their Wifi Password and their arent outlets to fuel up your cellphone!

I hoped this would be my Toronto’s equivalent of the Montréal’s ²⁴⁄₇ Dunn’s for a late night meal… but it will not…
Place was almost empty, but food took too long to come and was not even exactly what I ordered (the waiter acknowledged right away and returned the plate to the kitchen… why didn’t he notice himself before bringing the plate… and 5 minutes more to wait to have half my plate replaced, while the other half cooled down…). Bland but likely safe food.

After driving down from Toronto early in the morning in which I decided to skip breakfast. I saw this Denny’s near the casino and falls. We decided to get some grub and it’s your standard breakfast fare. Nothing special about it. The service was meh. The portions to price ratio wasn’t good. What we got wasn’t worth what we paid. Maybe it was because we were in a very touristy location? I don’t know. Wasn’t impressed.

Really bad. This was my first visit and I would not go back. I am learning that Denny’s is really low-​end junk food. Generally, the food is very oily and soggy with grease. They are a breakfast place that is sold all day. Really, a waste.

Very nice burgers, and the cran apple salad is a must try
Nice and cozy atmosphere and good friendly service

Came here on a Sunday morning around 7:30am and there was a table or two dining. Service was welcoming, quick, and attentive. Coffee was okay and you get free refills. I got the All-​American Slam. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were scrambled well. Their hash brown wasn’t crispy enough, or maybe this is just how it is with this style of hashbrown — can’t say I am a fan of it, I much prefer Eggspectation potatos or Mcdonald’s hashbrowns. My friend said her omelette was delicious and can’t wait to come back!

I am a Denny’s fan but this one has been the worse experience ever. Food was bland and despite ordering a well cooked egg it came runny, I asked for it to be properly cooked and when it came back it was fine but the rest of the plate was cold, not to mention it took forever to get the food in the first place.
Service was almost non existent and the server would disappear for long times as well despite the place not being busy.

Went here on a whim was it was one of the restaurants opened late that served a huge variety of finger foods, snacks, desserts, drinks without going over budget. Even getting just the appetizers were filling enough. My most to least favourite:
Nachos (Pepper Jack queso, shredded Cheddar Cheese, Meat, Pico de Gallo, and Sour Cream) ~$ 11 — more of a warm treat and all the flavours blended nicely together; it didn’t have any specific tangy or zesty taste (from tomatoes or lime) to which I do prefer with my nachos.
Chicken Strips (served with Celery & Sweet & Tangy BBQ sauce) — a standard craving fulfilled. Wish there was more though!
Cheese & Sausage Quesadillas (Grilled Chicken Breast, Crumbled Sausage, Fire-​Roasted Bell Peppers and Onions, Cheese, Pico de Gallo Tortilla & Ranch Dressing) ~$ 8 — It’s nice if you’re into a lot of flavour, but it was extremely heavy and filling.
It’s worth it considering the price I’m paying for. A lot of them did have a similar base to it so I felt like I was eating different versions of the same flavours. The staff is friendly and the food is served hot and fresh. I’ll definitely come back to try more of the menu :)

Terrible service
Terrible!!!
I ordered takeout (steak sirloin) and when i got home i opened my plate and got eggs and sausages. I called and they told me there was nothing they could do. Also another time i went there i ordered a drink with my meal for takeout and never got the drink. I will never return here again just wasted my money. They should fire the hostess at the front desk she’s the person that made this mistake twice.

Generally, I love Denny’s! In this review I DO NOT love Denny’s! I have been to Denny’s all over North America and this one left me wanting much more. I had a Coke and the All-​American Slam. Toast was good, hash browns were soggy and under-​browned, scrambled eggs were browned. Sausage was okay and bacon was perfectly done. Boyfriend had the avocado bacon burger. He said it was underwhelming and lacking in flavour.
I love me some Denny’s but this location has to step up its game. Denny’s could be so much more than a 2 star!

When I heard that a new Denny’s location opened up right near my friend’s apartment, we had to give it a try — have many great memories getting full at many of their American locations.
ATMOSPHERE/​SERVICE:
This location is open 24 hours a day, which makes it a perfect spot for some late night grub. Even at the late hour (around 12am), the surprisingly large and clean restaurant was still fully staffed. I was quite impressed with our waitress Lina’s personable and efficient customer service. Relatedly, I didn’t realize there were at least 10+ methods of preparing an egg until our waitress recited it for us, two times!
FOOD:
I went with the classic Grand Slam breakfast (2 sausages, 2 pieces of bacon, scrambled eggs, and hash browns). The eggs were a bit on the dry side for my taste, as I opted not to include additional cheese/​hot sauce as offered as an option. The sausages were plump and juicy, the bacon crisp but not burnt… the hash browns were actually the best I’ve had in a while, fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside mmm.
SUMMARY:
For a late night snack, you can’t beat all-​day breakfast at Denny’s. Though our visit was during a less busy time of the day, seems service here is actually pretty efficient and attentive too.

Been there twice. Service is nice, although the second time I went or food, our server actually had a sense of humour which me and my friends loved! :D
Got the Philly Omelet which is now the cause of my growling stomach thinking about it. Cheesy, and meaty. What else could you possibly want at midnight?!
This place is also open late, which is a plus for anybody who crawls downtown.
I think the service could be a bit more attentive though, no offence! Still will come back to Denny’s, nothing tastes better than cheesy meat at 12 in the morning.

Yep. That sure is Denny’s.
Look — I’m not saying it’s terrible, because two stars just means I’ve had better. And I have. I’ve had better and cheaper breakfasts all over the city, but that doesn’t mean that Denny’s isn’t for me.
There’s something charming about knowing that next time you’re at Yonge and Dundas Square at 3 in the morning, and you need to wait for the subway to come back to life at 6am, there’s a place for you. And that place is Denny’s.
The charm is that it’s always there, always open, and ready to give you a grand slam.
Also — it’s worth mentioning that their pancakes are great value. Nothing else is — you’ll leave hungry, because — Denny’s… Maybe more than four french fries on the side of that small sandwich that cost 10 bucks next time?
But man… Their pancakes are what I always want. One of the few places I’ll actually pay money for pancakes.
Go check it out for yourself.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this new location of Denny’s yet because they’ve been open for at least a month now, and they’re open 24 hours! Superwoman and I had been eyeing the sign on the door, waiting for the place to open.
I have to admit that I’m biased though — I’m a sucker for diners. And I’ve always been a fan of Denny’s in the States (though I tend to go to IHOP more, when it comes to chains I visit south of the border).
I had good experiences here. I came by one day later in the evening by myself (I think it was a week day), ravenous for pancakes. I ordered the Lumberjack Slam, which contained a lot of food. My server was really nice, and the food was great. Their pancakes were fluffy as clouds, and I like that their scrambled eggs aren’t all watered down with milk or overcooked. The sausages were alright, the bacon was super crispy (not my preference, but that’s ok), and the food came promptly. The toast was good, though I wish there were a wider variety of jams (because my beloved raspberry wasn’t available — Cora’s really sets the bar high with this). There was also a decent selection of teas.
The next time I was there for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was super busy, and the service was slower than before. Also, I ordered a cinnamon pancake breakfast and my server didn’t bother to ask what kind of meat I wanted, but she brought me bacon AND sausage so I didn’t have to choose, and I was happy about that. The cinnamon pancakes were fantastic (though not as rich as IHOP) and I didn’t need any syrup.
What I love most about Denny’s though, is that they put everything on separate plates, so you don’t have to worry about getting bacon/​sausage oil on your pancakes. Some people like to mix savoury with sweet, especially with breakfast, but I am not one of them.
I’ll be back with Superwoman, and I look forward to trying one of their skillets! (though I wish they didn’t all come with bell pepper)
ETA: Someone mentioned below that it was opened only a week or so at the time that my review was written. I walk by all the time and I’d been eyeing the sign for a long time — it felt like a month to me. Regardless, when they opened is irrelevant and it doesn’t change my experience at this place or my opinion.
