It’s Denny’s. At this one I once found public hair in my fruit salad. Manager at the time offered me more fruit. I declined. It’s gotten better but the servers still look ready to kill everyone. As a former Denny’s server I can sympathize.

The Crane Game can’t be beat! By that I mean that it is impossible to win… That said, they have a crane game! Denny’s is awesome. :) Awesome for the best food of your life? Not a chance. They’re awesome because they provide a tonne of variety and consistently consistent meals, regardless of the sobriety level of their all-hours clientele. Need a 3am burger? This is your spot! 17 year old looking for a night time place to hang out and drink milkshakes? Also your spot. Hungover because you couldn’t get here for that 3am burger? Do up some Denny’s Grand Slams for breakfast, yo! Fun games to play at Denny’s: Um, Could I Get A Booth Please? — to play this game, ask your server if they have any booths available. Extra points if they show you to your seat and then you ask«Actually, could I get a booth?» Why it’s fun: Denny’s ONLY has booths. Just A Full Cup — when your server comes to fill your coffee, say«oh, just a full cup please» while waving your open hand in a signalling fashion toward your coffee cup. Hilarity ensues. Either that, or you’ll be wearing your Java.

Overall i would say this is your average dennys and i have eaten at plenty to know it is pretty hard to find a perfect dennys there is something usually not up to standards. The service i found was pretty good polite and efficient. The fodd was not bad but definatley not great the eggs benedict i ordered was suppose to be sofy and came out medium as well there was about three times to much hollandaise sauce even after the bennys were gone and soaked up as much as i could with my hashbrowns there was about a half a cup s5ill on my plate. My daughters chocolate chip pancakes were good but its pretty hard to mess pancakes up even for a dennys cook. Not so certain i would return.

Horribly slow and rude servers… Food was cold and not adequately prepared. Worst Denny’s in Calgary for sure

I always seem to end up at this Denny’s. It was Comic Expo weekend so it was a 45 minute wait just to get into any brunch establishment. I am not a huge fan of franchised restaurants, unfortunately this one was not my choice. There was NO parking available and where this restaurant is situated, there is no street parking available either. That being said — it was 45 minutes to be seated at our table, it took forever to get our drinks. Two of the meals were messed up and one was returned untouched. The food was«meh» at best. The only reason I am giving the three stars was because of our server. She went out of her way to try and correct the kitchen’s mistakes and spoke to the manager to have the bill discounted because of all the hassles. We came, we ate, we left.

This is the worst place I’ve had breakfast, had to wait and ask for service, the dishes were so old they were stained and chipped, I had a dirty fork at my table, parking was a challenge, the menu selection wasn’t very good. Once was enough.

Denny’s is a great chain for breakfast and this location does not disappoint. I’ve always been a fan of Denny’s for breakfast or brunch. They have a ton of options allowing you to order almost anything you could want. If you’re not sure what to go for, I’m a big fan of their pancakes and their omelettes. Both are served to you in huge portions, so there’s no way you’ll be leaving hungry. This location also has great service and will keep your coffee cup full. Good food at very reasonable prices.

I normally really like Denny’s but the servers seemed like they did not want to be there the food took quite some time to arrive and when it did(I had ordered medium well t-bone steak and overeasy eggs) the hashbrowns werent brown and tasted raw, the steak was cooked to be very well and the eggs came sunny side up. Not my greatest experience at Denny’s. This particular one is 2 for 2 now, next time I will be going to a different location(if this is the one by Mcmahon Stadium)

Wow. I’ve been to some Denny’s, and don’t get me wrong, some of them are awesome… but THIS Denny’s, in the Sandman Calgary West Hotel, is TOTALLYAWESOME. Ok, so tonight, I had a prime rib, sizzling stirfry, with mashed potatoes, cheese, bacon, broccoli and sour cream. Oh my God, wow!!! I thought Denny’s was just supposed to be a place that is open late. The food here totally changes everything. It’s REALLY good. That’s the thing, I’ve eaten at really expensive places before, and I don’t get it. I had that meal tonight, with an orange juice AND a slice of yummy chocolate cake for under $ 20. Like, how is that possible? I can’t go to the supermarkert and buy that stuff, uncooked, and cook it myself for anything close to that price, and it certainly would not taste awesome like it does at Denny’s. Ok, I also had the grand slam for breakfast, and wow, was it good. Like that’s the thing… there are so many choices on the Grand Slam, it’s basically ‘build your own breakfast’, any way you want. I sometimes got pancakes(especially the awesome pumpkin pie pancakes they had over the holidays), with whipped cream, sausages, bacon. Lately, like today, I’ve been getting oatmeal, with brown sugar, bacon, sausages(can you tell I like bacon and sausages?), warm buttermilk biscuits with butter, and usually orange juice to go with it. Everything is totally awesome, but the buttermilk biscuits… oh my God, they’re just too good. I mean, I COULD probably eat about six of them, but I usually try to limit my daily intake to two. :) I had two bowls of oatmeal this morning because I was off to the gym for a few hours, and even though I went through 8 excercises, 45 minutes of cardio and maybe 20 minutes of yoga, I wasn’t hungry at all by the time Ieft the gym. That’s the thing… the breakfast, well actually, all the food here is really healthy. I don’t put garbage in my body, so that’s why I eat at Denny’s. I like the ‘Livestrong’ idea of eating before and after a workout, and Denny’s has really healthy food. My breakfast was about $ 13, which is unbelievable. I have a feeling I might be eating at Denny’s a lot more often. Now I really want to mention the staff. A place doesn’t get 5 stars on food alone. Yeah, the food is awesome, but the people that work here are really nice. They remember my name, they ask me how I am, they talk and joke with me, and they even remember what I like to eat. I’ve tried lots of things on the menu… the delicious roast(yeah, I know, roast, I can’t believe it either), the awesome fish, the prime rib or chicken sizzling stirfry’s, like, everything was really good. What I don’t get is, how do they remember everything? They don’t even seem to write it down. Whoa, that’s good. Like, on the weekends, people sometimes stop here on their way to the mountains, or on their way to Canada Olympic Park. Sometimes the place has been kind of busy when I’ve been here, but the staff are still friendly. I know I would be frazzled if I had to deal with so many people, or I’d be running away, yet they’re joking with me and are really friendly. The manager makes time to stop by and say hi. If it’s not too busy, and even when it’s moderately busy, I can choose pretty much where I want to sit, and they always seem to have the day’s paper. I’ve even had it brought to me a few times. Wow, now that’s awesome. This place gets 5 stars because the people AND the food are totally awesome. Thank you for so many awesome meals. You guys rock.

Open 24/7, located in Motel Village in the NW, Denny’s is a great place to eat when you’re feeling hungry just because. My sister and I are from a small town in Manitoba so Denny’s is SOCOOL to us. I lived here for about 4 years and my little sister just moved here in September. She has never been to Denny’s before, but heard about it. After the fair at Sunridge, it was about 10:15pm and we were craving sushi. but most places close at 11pm and we feel bad for coming in late so we pondered for another place to eat. «Have you been to Denny’s?» my sister asks. I told her I have, but haven’t in a looong time… «Its open 24⁄7 and has breakfast, lunch and dinner on the menu!!» I said. SOLD! Denny’s it was. When we arrived, the front parking lot was full, but I remembered there was a parking lot in the back. We got sat immediately and started looking at the menu. «COOL! BREAKFAST!!» my sister says. Its funny how some people can be so amazed that places serve breakfast any time of the day! I, myself think its awesome too! So I ordered the classic benedict, half and it comes with a side of potatoes. My sister ordered a choose your own, and she chose sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs and grated potatoes. The food was very mediocre, but I mean what do we expect? The sausages were dry and the bacon was solid. But my benedict was not so bad! :) So pretty much… Its Denny’s, honestly. what do you expect? Its not the greatest but its A-OK!

On a day off from work I went to this location of Denny’s for breakfast with my Husband. It is located near a bunch of hotels, it is definitely convenient for anyone staying near by. Even at 10 am on a Wednesday it was a pretty busy place, always a good sign. We were greeted quickly and didn’t have to wait for a table. The benches at our table were quite dirty, so we swept them off with out napkins. Our server Micheal came, greeted us and took our drink order. The menu has changed, they now have a breakfast that you can choose 4 items from 10 or so choices for $ 8.99 and you can even add on extras for a couple dollars. Even though that was very tempting, I decided to go for the heartland scramble, which you also get bacon, sausage, pancakes and hashbrowns with. All for $ 10! Micheal returned with my hot chocolate and took our food order. My favorite thing about this place is that you get free refills on hot chocolate! So I took full advantage. Micheal popped by once to refill our drinks, while we waited for our food. Our orders were out quite quickly, my food wasn’t all that hot though. Nonetheless it was a lot of food and it was all really good! I got another refill on my hot chocolate while I tired to stuff all the food into my mouth. When we were finished our dishes were cleared promptly. Micheal brought us our bill but told us there was no hurry. When we were ready he brought the debit machine to our table, chatting with us while we paid. Our huge breakfasts and my numerous hot chocolates only cost $ 26 for the 2 of us! Overall I was very happy with the service at this Denny’s! The food was delicious! I will definitely return to this restaurant for my breakfast cravings!

Ah, Denny’s. What can you say? The last resort late at night for a decent meal. We came here one night after a large win at a local casino and spent some of our winnings on their all day breakfasts. It was pretty standard except for the potato/hash brown/shreddings. Had I known they would serve me shredded potatoes, I would have called for something different. What is the deal with these things in this province, anyway? Every breakfast house tries to pawn these off on their customers. It’s like eating dirt. Why can’t we have the old fashioned potato wedges cooked and grilled the old fashioned way? There was nothing wrong with that way. It must be cheaper for them to shred the things. That way we don’t know if they’re good potatoes or not. We can’t really taste them when they’re chopped into little sheets of what should be potatoes. I hope Denny’s takes a leadership role here and brings back the old way and makes it standard on all their breakfast dishes. Even late at night after a few beers, we can tell the difference. Other than that our server, who has one of the worst serving gigs in town, handled everyone at the place with great patience. I think these poor women are abused more than not by surly loners late at night, but she handled it well and it was a good experience. Except for the potatoes…
