Can't believe this cost almost $15. I did not ask for the 4 bacon to be super double over crispy, but it happens. Wasn't too busy Sunday afternoon, a few tables per server. Took about 15 mins for ordering to get food, server Khan was nice. Great if it's your birthday you get original grand slam free but otherwise Would not recommend , probably won't return. read more

Denny's - Build your own grand slam: 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2X 2 slice bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It's Denny's! What do you expect! The food is cheap, filling, and of course, overly sweet. I came here for the free grand slam on my birthday but have been here a couple of times before. The service is usually quick, not the most attentive but they have quite a large space with little corners to work around. Everything said, it's decent breakfast food, nothing spectacular but I think that's what they aim for. read more

Denny's - Birthday grand slam! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Denny's is a great place to go at anytime of the day. It's open 24/7 everyday. They make breakfast, lunch, and dinner food items and they are amazing! I wish they had more vegetarian options but they do have a few. I definitely like the customizable veggie burger. The food is not too bad. I've had better but it it's not bad or horrible. It's notThe menu is full of desserts, appetizers and main meals! The food is relatively decently priced. The place is spacious and the waiters are friendly. It's also clean and very organized. read more

the last time i went to Denny's was a number of years ago when i lived in Vancouver , At the time it was average. I just completed another trip to Toronto this past weekend and I was craving breakfast at 12 noon so I decided to drop it since it was close to my hotel. It seems they have changed their menu for the better. I decided to get their grand slam but i upgraded the pancakes to double berry pancakes and got the turkey bacon along with hashbrowns and a fruit cup with coffee and orange juice. It was really good. the fruit cup was fresh and added an extra dimension to the berry pancakes hash browns were fine turkey bacon was a bit dry though. the coffee was replenished very quickly. I wanted to give a special kudos to my server Sakshi, i believe her name was. She was very pleasant , polite and patience with as i was going through the menu . Service was impeccable!!. I will be stopping by again on my next trip to Toronto. I hear that Denny's will be getting a franchise in Barrie soon so i'm looking forward to it read more

We went to Denny's to celebrate my husband's birthday, with family and friends. Jhanvi, our waitress, was very kind and courteous and always had a smile on her face. Even though she was very busy, she was pleasant and friendly. read more

We needed a sit down place for early breakfast so there were not a lot of options to choose from. I had veggie omelette which was disappointing for the price. The egg part and veggies part were not well integrated together; felt like I was eating egg with some veggies in the side. Coffee was kinda disappointing as well read more

First of all, the service is horrible! The waiters never come to you unless you make eye contact and basically make it seem like you need something. The food is okay, pretty pricey for breakfast! The eggs and sausages were well done and tasted really good. Portions were small. Two stars only because the food was good and the place was pretty clean, however I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Denny's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food was excellent, but the service was slow. The waitress got upset when I ordered hash browns without cheese and onions and it came with cheese and onions! I'm willing to pay extra for the cheese and onions, though, because that's what I was served, and that's fair. However, my friends wanted extra gravy on their dishes and it took FOREVER for the sauces to come! And one server dropped and broke a gravy dish! It also took time for her to get one friend a fork! She explained that she was on her own. However, I saw other staff that could have helped her out by waiting on us and other patrons, but didn't do much in the dining area. She needs help; management should have done more to assist us. We complained to management. They gave us coupons to make up for their mess, so all is well now. Which is a good thing, since their food is just SO GOOD! read more

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. read more

I'm a bit biased, because I adore Denny's for its personal nostalgic value, but I still think it's such a great place for greasy spoon breakfast! We came to this location and both ordered pretty traditional breakfasts. I got the American Slam, which comes with scrambled eggs topped with melted cheddar, sausage and bacon. There was also the option of sour dough toast, which was a delicious surprise! The food came quickly, was piping hot, and as consistently delicious as I remember. Only knocking it down one star since our server didn't bother removing any of our MANY dirty plates, and took 15 minutes to give us our bill after asking. We also listened to another staffer chat with her friend on her phone while polishing silverware for at least half an hour, then say she was going to "supervise" a busboy who was cleaning up broken glass. read more

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. read more

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. read more

My review is based on the birthday deal. A free meal on your birthday. The free deal consists of 2 eggs ( cooked to your liking), 2 sausages, 2 bacon pieces, and 3 pancakes. Honestly for a free meal that's really good. At a sit down restaurant with a glass of water. The server was nice. I told her about the deal and asked if she would like to see my id she said it's fine. When I was done I thought I had to pay for taxes . She said nope that's it, have a great day. No purchase necessary an awesome deal if you ask me. read more

New to Toronto .. definitely could do better. Service is slow, very slow. Food was disappointing. I've been to many Denny's and if this one doesn't step up the game they're closing down for sure. All their Foursquare tips were complaints. My salmon and t-bone steak was half the size an flavour of what I'd imagine and shown on menu. I've never had to add ketchup to my fish before because it lacks that much taste. However the hashbrowns were the same as what I expected. The garlic bread was also not bad. But that's really it. The manager Joe did come at the beginnibg to see if we've been taken care of but never came back as promised after we finished eating. This is a 5/10 experience. For a franchise ... this was done ao poorly .. I hope they get better soon .... read more

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. read more

Denny's - Probably should've taken a picture before I put on the hot sauce... Oh well. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So.many. staff. Doing. Nothing!!! A long wait for service and we ha to ask for a server. Our waitress Melissa who was very busy waiting on others was great! Seemed all of the young men( my friend counted 10) hanging and chatting behind the counter and doing nothing else. I guess no manager on duty. Food was typical Denny's pretty good. read more

TLDR: Probably better when you're not sober. Prices are fair. Service was alright. Food wasn't that great. To be honest I'm not sure what I expected when I went to Denny's. I went here for lunch and I ordered the Pot Roast Sandwich. It was extremely greasy but there was a decent amount of meat in it. The oil or grease or whatever was literally soaking through the top and bottom of the bun. The beef was really tender and seasoned well and it tasted like it was slow-cooked like a good pot roast should. It was a bit salty however, as were the fries. The fries were a bit over-fried and were extremely greasy as well. In the moment it was pretty good but I felt absolutely disgusting afterwards. I can't quite pinpoint the feeling but it was definitely worse than going on a McDonald's or fast-food binge. The people that I went here with shared similar sentiments (one ordered the standard breakfast and another had a stack of pancakes). I think everything here is just overloaded with sugar or salt - or both. The service was alright and the price-point was fair. However I don't think I will come back here ever again because the food just wasn't that great and if I wanted to eat something greasy and feel not-as-bad I would just go to McDs. read more

The service is pretty good and prompt. The food is okay, nothing special. Actually I really liked side bread...it was freshly baked and well presented. Btw there was too many small flies near my table..I caught 5 of them but still annoyed my meal. I am not sure and worried about restaurant cleanness. read more

Denny's - Food was okAy than i expected - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

As I always aspire to be, I'll be fair in starting this review off with a nugget of honesty. My friend who I was eating with when I went here asked me during the meal why when asked if things were ok by the waiter/waitress and it wasn't, why we almost always reply that it is? My answer was along the lines of "Because we're Canadian and that's how Canadians do it" which due to our passive aggressive tendencies, I'm afraid is true, but I also added that if I didn't think the poor quality of a meal was an anomaly and it was due to the food being the way it was supposed to be and me simply not liking it, then I wouldn't complain because I'd never be back. I think you can see where this is going. The service was pretty good. The waitress in our section was covering too many tables and I could tell she was tired, so I won't hold that against her and as I said, she was still friendly. I think this is a family run franchise and so I'll also say stuffing may be limited because they're trying to keep costs low. Anyhow, that's not the issue. It's Denny's, I get it, but the Slamburger I ordered had so little flavor in it that I wondered if I had turned off my tastebuds. It seems like it should be a good combo: bacon, hash browns, egg over easy and a burger patty, but it's got nothing to it. I added salt and pepper on the patty and it was better but this was the blandest burger I'd had in awhile. The fries are okay, a weird crinkle cut steak fry but tasted okay. The rest was awful. I didn't complain because as previously mentioned, this is how I feel it was meant to be. It's odd because the patty looked freshly made and like it would be flavorful but it wasn't. The bun was too weak to hold this much food. It had no sauce to make it tastier either. Unless you're stuck at 4am and can't make the distance to Some other burger joint, I'd take a pass on Denny's. read more

We ordered two cups of coffee, "Fit Slam", and "Honey Jalapeño Bacon Slam". What I find very unfortunate when it comes to these brunch/breakfast places is that they often overlook the importance of good coffee. Sadly, Denny's wasn't an exception. It was over $2 for each cup of hot black water. Food was not bad but not exceptionally good either. Fit Slam's scrambled egg was really soft but a bit bland, but I guess that's what comes with healthy-labeled food. Pancake that came with Honey Jalapeño Bacon Slam was really fluffy and nice! Jalapeño Bacon was also interesting in a very positive way. Staffs were nice and I'd say service was great, considering how they were also open on boxing day! read more

Denny's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

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. read more

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. read more

Denny's - Classic eggs Benny with hash brown. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Regrets. I'm lactose intolerant and didn't have my lactaid pills, but still ordered a milkshake, because sometimes the pain and bloated feeling are worth it. This sacrifice, however, was not worth it. The food is decently priced and the staff is friendly, but the food is very very very underwhelming. The bechamel sauce on the eggs benny had an odd consistency, the sunnyside up eggs were burned, the hashbrowns were burned, and the wheat pancakes were bland. Granted, the small bits of hashbrown that were not burned tasted great. Anyway, while I doubt I will come back, I still think Denny's has merit, since it's a 24-hour diner. If you're craving burned hashbrown at 2am, Denny's will be there for you. read more

When we went to Denny's for dinner time after our adventure from Disney, I ordered myself a steak with fries and broccoli. The steak was big and the meal portions were much bigger than in Canada. However, that did not ruin the Denny's experience. I ate my entire steak because I was starving (maybe that's why it tasted good in the moment) but the steak was a little bit fatty. They do not carve their steaks to absolute perfection like at a 5 star restaurant, because I've definitely been to one of those high class fancy restaurants. Such as A&W, but they only do burgers and not steaks so that comparison is irrelevant. The broccoli tasted fine, it was boiled which is the way of preference for me. The fries tasted excellent when dipped in the steak juice. Overall, I would give it a solid 7/10. read more

Service was slow and disrespectful. The coffee was cold by the time they brought sugar. When we asked for a fresh cup I watched them put it in the microwave. This is not the first time we have had bad service. Last time we asked for bread they brought it from someone else's table. It's really too bad, we have had good service there too and we live close by. I don't think we will be back. read more

My boyfriend and I came craving the popular American all day breakfast food chain. To our disappointment, upon arrival we waited approximately 5-8 minutes before getting seated despite being first in line and numerous empty tables around. Once seated, we were left alone for another 10 minutes meanwhile the people who were seated after us got water, and their orders taken. Finally, we got a hold of someone but they said our waitress was too busy to serve us when there were only 2 other tables she was serving. After another couple minutes we got our orders taken. We ordered the Lumberjack slam ($12.99) and Country fried steak ($13.99). Food: From our meal we enjoyed the pancakes, the country fried steak, zucchini, the hash brown (although slightly saltier than my personal preference) and the sausages from my breakfast. Everything else was quite average and on the saltier side. Verdict: The meal was enjoyable but definitely did not exceed expectations in terms of service or food quality. I would consider coming again as the service and food could be a one-off situation. However, I would not go out of my way to do so. read more

Went to Denny's last weekend. Service was great and I ended up tipping more than I ever tipped anyone because she was awesome, but sadly won't be going back. Breakfast here is by no means cheap, not even on the 55+ menu, which we ordered from. When you have an $11 meal and add a $4 coffee (ridiculous) it's an all around big no for me, but I know Denny's to be the home of the big portions so we waited eagerly for our breakfast. When we got our meal I was very disappointed. I ordered two pancakes which were huge and tasty. I also ordered two bacon, two links and two eggs. I eat eggs every morning of my life and I would swear that was not two eggs. The bacon was as thin as a piece of paper and just a little wider than a pencil? Denny's what the h__ll have you done? I could have blown that bacon off my plate with little effort? I love bacon and this was a waste of my time and money. If saving money on your product and cheapening your name was your goal, you just saved a lot because we won't be coming back until you serve real bacon again. Also that noisy robot thing you've got going on ...... not a fan. I hope the wait staff like it because I don't. I didn't get served on that but I don't want my food on a tray near the bottom of the floor where everyone is kicking up dust as they walk by and it landing on my food. Then the poor wait staff has to follow it like a slow turtle and then bend down low to pick up all the trays to serve. That is an epic fail to me. Pretty sure the kids loved it though. read more

Came here for breakfast and the food itself is horrible. Feels like you're eating rubber - tourists in the city, if your hotel is offering free breakfast - EAT THERE it will probably taste more like food than plastic. The service however was really good, me and my boyfriend had a coupon and even though we were supposed to print it out our server still gave us the discount which was very nice of him. We paid around 40$ including a tip definitely not worth it because they're literally serving grub. read more

I recently visited America's northern neighbor. I'm somewhat of a picky eater and I don't like ethnic food. With that in mind, I went to a restaurant in Canada that served American food. I ordered chicken fingers with broccoli and rice. It was so-so, nothing to write home about. The meal was slightly overpriced ($15). As I ate, I watched the pathetic Blue Jays lose yet another game. read more
