    My French Toast Slam, with Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and link sausage.
    Richard D.

    Breakfast on a Saturday morning. Wait time for seating less than 10 minutes. Like most restaurants today, it's under staffed and so wait times are a little longer, but not excessively so. Our server (Natasha) was serving lots of tables and cashiering, but her service was still excellent. Dennys was refurbished a year or so ago and the interior is very modern, minimalist, and super clean, complete with a Kapolei neon sign, how cool is that. What makes Dennys special is the ability to build your own breakfast, cuz the bfast menu is extensive. I got the French Toast Slam ($17.99) that comes with three slices of Hawaiian Sweet Bread French Toast, two scrambled eggs, two link sausage and two bacon. It was very good. Wife got the Cinnamon Pancakes ($16.39) with Eggs Over Easy, bacon and seasonal fruit ($1.39). All was ver satisfying. Highly recommend Dennys for their breakfast.

    Awesome Fluffy Pancakes

    Went here yesterday to take advantage of a birthday deal. Initially it started a little off as they had a sign on the door that said they only had scrambled eggs; limited menu. But I saw that there were still a lot of people inside. I asked several people who just ate there what's happening and they mentioned that they only had one cook and that they ran out of fresh eggs, but only had powdered eggs (similar to the eggs that are served at small hotel breakfast buffets), which I didn't mind so we went in anyway. All in all, we still had a great breakfast. Service was great. The staff were very attentive and very upbeat. The food was still good. We both ordered their Everyday Value Slam (mine was birthday free) which included a choice of pancakes or French toast, a choice of meat, & scrambled eggs. Also got a side of crispy hash browns that we shared, plus coffee. Aside from the eggs issue (which were still good with ketchup), the bacon and sausages were good and surprisingly the pancakes (fluffy & moist) and the French toast were great. I would definitely come back here again.

    My favorite Denny's on the entire earth! As you notice from all the photos uploaded, we go to this particular Denny's for breakfast quite a bit. Service is always nice, my favorite berry vanilla crepe is always on point and so far has been available each time, keeping my fingers crossed xx. Mister likes the steak breakfast, must be good because it's his favorite breakfast dish to order, he has tried other dishes (eggs bene, omelette), but wasn't as pleased as with the steak. If you go on the weekends, and want to beat the early crowd, go early. Plenty of near by parking.

    From the time we walked in the staff was super friendly Kalani sat us and zen eye was our server. She rocked. Food came out fast and Annette kept my coffee and water coming. Kapolei staff gets a 10/10 from me and my fam.

    One thing about Dennys you know what to expect. After an appointment decided to fed my hungry husband breakfast. Wait staff was quick to seat us and take our order. We ordered breakfast, it was delivered to us quickly and hot. Staff were friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The interior was the usual Dennys seating.

    Okay Kapolei Denny's, here's the real scoop - my fam and I popped in to check out your freshly renovated digs (which look great, by the way - super clean and welcoming). We were greeted and seated right away and our potential server Karma was amazing - super sweet and doing her best to hold it down during what was clearly a rough night. So the good: place is shiny clean , we got our water and Karma is a gem . Now for the "wait, what?" part. We got there with no line and thought, yes, perfect timing! But once seated... crickets. No notice of delays, no orders taken, just us and our water. Fifteen minutes later we're still sipping water and wondering if we're invisible. We actually had to call Karma over just to ask if we could order..... and that's when we were told the kitchen was so backed up, they couldn't take orders yet. Meanwhile, two managers - one very noticeable in a bright orange shirt - were literally standing around chatting, while their team struggled and the kitchen fell behind. Leadership 101: when your crew is buried, you roll up your sleeves and jump in. You don't stand around seeing how long you can hold off seating people or delay orders. That's just not it, Denny's! Sadly, we gave up and left before even ordering any food. So we got water... and that's about it. Stars for Karma's attitude and the sparkling remodel. But please, Denny's Kapolei management - be the leaders your hardworking crew needs. We'd love to come back and actually eat next time! Do better for your staff and your customers will stick around.

    I don't know if it was just last night but the menu is very very limited. I wish I knew that before we sat down because the food they had listed was not great at all. The only good thing that we did have was Zesty Nachos. So heads up before you go there....limited menu!

    ALL DAY DINER DEALS !!! (7/27/23)
    Elyssa T.

    It's been a minute since we last came to Dennys so it was very refreshing to see the new changes in the menu and renovations. The restaurant was super busy and service was a bit slow. It's totally understandable because it was Mother's Day and they did their best to take care of all parties with grace. Denny's -- America's Diner for good food at a good cost feeding families every where.

The kama'aina fried rice was filled with lots of meat: bacon, spam, ham, and Portuguese sausage. It was pretty good. The pancake flight was okay. Would've been better if I could choose the pancakes. Overall, the lilikoi pancake was the best! I didn't too much favor the chocolate taro-haupia or the cookie butta lava. The Kalua pork omelette was good, but I wish there was more meat inside. All the portions were very generous. The only thing we didn't like was that everything was overloaded with onions. And I LOVE onions, but even I thought it was too much. For that reason, my family didn't care too much for their meals. Overall, we had a fair experience. Seating is a little tight, but we were still comfortable. The only inconvenience was the bathroom on the top floor, which can be difficult when you have little kids.

The GOOD: unlimited steamed lobster, snow crab, fresh poke, oysters, decent service, and lovely live music. The BAD/AVERAGE: - We were told that some of their ceiling fans weren't working so it gets pretty hot if you're seated by the pool/live music area. Our table also rocked back and forth throughout the meal. It's starting to feel outdated. -There were flies around some of food -The prime rib was the driest/overcooked I've ever had at a buffet, and the lechon was mostly dry as well with some parts were hard crispy. -Compared to previous visits, there was no sashimi station or steamed dim sum, which was a huge disappointment, especially since they had already done away with the pan-grilled lobster. -For the cooked/hot dishes, there were egg foo yung, stir fried veggies, one chicken dish, one lamb dish, and noe pasta. Also were average taste, and just very limited options compared to other brunch/lunch buffets! -There was also a whole cooked fish sitting on the opposite side of the buffet, away from the seafood station, with no label at all. It was completely untouched the entire time we were there, which honestly said a lot. -The ramen bar is a cool concept, but the broths don't taste good and had odd topping choices. -The dessert selection felt limited, and the vanilla ice cream had a strange texture that fell apart instead of being creamy. What frustrates us the most is that the price continues to increase (3-4 times), yet nothing really stood out or added to justify it. If anything, it feels like there are fewer options than before. We've been coming here since the good old days too and it's apparent that it's not as amazing as before. The unlimited lobster is really the only thing that sets this buffet apart, and while I understand you won't find that at most other buffets, it's still hard to justify $135 per person for the overall experience we had. We won't be coming back.

Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was amazing. I took off a star for pricing. We each got a drink and we shared fish and chips and our bill was $100 with tip. We felt that was a bit steep for sharing a meal and having 1 drink each. My friends who live on the Island said that other locations were way cheaper, so it's a bummer this one was more expensive. I'm assuming it's because it's across from Aulani. We noticed that the menu here was more expensive than eating at Aulani, so next time we'll probably just stay at the resort. Either way, food and experience were great but we probably won't return because of the pricing.
