I usually come here between the times of 11pm and 3am. Great service for a place that is open 24hrs. Employees are always welcoming. Very recently they have taken all their peanut butter items off their menu. No big deal at all considering many allergies are present. They have added new menu items that are nice and fresh! Such as my strawberries and cream pancakes read more

Love coming here after a night of fun filled boozing! I love the variety of spread such as peanut butter, orange jam and etc. Their cinnamon pancake is a must. Absolutely delicious. Their service is slow sometimes. I love coming here for their hash home fries. read more

You snobby Vaughan ppl need to relax and realize Dennys isn't a 5 star restaurant like the Keg. This is an American Diner, understand you are eating how Americans eat, which is everything cooked in grease !!! Duhh :/ Anyways, I had a good experience here. Been here over 5 times. Everything my table ordered came out perfect. It all depends on your server for good service & if your food is taking time to come out that means it's the kitchens fault NOT THE SERVERS FAULT !! So don't yell or be pissed at them, just kindly ask to talk to the managers. I know this bc I've personally worked in this industry. Also a worker told me this place only has 1 blender. Therefore ppl need to also be patient when the whole damn table orders different milkshake and smoothies. At least my server let my table know that our blended drinks will be at least 5-10 mins and that they have to personally make the drinks and desserts themselves along with trying to make their 3-6 tables happy & satisfied. I feel these servers pain, it looks like their always under pressure with that small kitchen their working in. Parents with kids. I know this is a family place to eat but like seriously if you read the reviews and you know there's a chance of ur food taking long, prepare ur annoying brats for the wait. For example, use the free wifi and keep them busy on a device or bring some snacks to keep them busy. You guys put the most stress on the servers, I see it every time I eat here. Last time I came here, this table across the room made a bigggg scene crying over their kids burger looking like it got step on bc it was on a bigger bun because they ran out of kids buns. Like get a life. I felt bad for the kids lol. So embarrassing when parents act up and turn red at a restaurant. Smh read more

I work close to here so lunch at Denny's isn't sooo bad after all; service is unpredictable and food is unpredictable for some parts as well but this particular post goes to the massive Prime Roast Cobb Salad that I altered for some reason with chicken strips instead. . The portion was stellar, the salad itself was super fresh, the chicken strips were more than plentiful for lunch. . so I can't say if it's always like this but for the time being Denny's get an awesome 4 Star's for a salad welll done. . Huge Fresh and Yummy. . Paired with some hot sauce & plum sauce for the chicken strips.... you won't have time to talk to anyone lol read more

This new 24-hour Denny's location opened earlier this week (Feb 1)and clearly a lot of people were anxiously waiting for it to open. There was a line up shortly after we got there and the restaurant quickly filled up by 8:30 am. The restaurant is medium sized with a small breakfast bar at the front. The seating arrangement is fairly comfortable, although it is difficult to get around when the restaurant is packed. Booths surround the restaurant walls and tables and chairs fill in the rest of the space. The decor is pleasant and the restaurant is family-friendly. We were seated right away but did not like the location (by the restrooms) so we asked to be moved. They graciously accommodated us. They took our drink order and left us to look over the menu, which was very plentiful. It was more elaborate than we expected. The options are not the usual breakfast items you see at other restaurants, like Cora's; it's super fancy and the prices reflect that. It's definitely pricer then other places. More like $$$. I ordered the breakfast special of eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancakes. The eggs were ok as were the bacon and hash browns. But the blueberry pancakes were AMAZING!! They were properly cooked and fluffy and filled with delicious blueberries. I would go back just for the pancakes!! I will go back to try the lunch and dinner items and slip in a blueberry pancake. One last thing - the staff are friendly enough but it's clear they need more practice and time to handle the volume of customers. The couple behind us was complaining about how slow they were in coming around to top up coffees or check in on how they were doing. They were also slow in cleaning up recently vacated tables. Hopefully this will get better with time. read more

Visited this morning and service was stellar. Kudos to our male server Jacky, who was outstanding. We arrived at 9:45am and were seated right away (amazing for a Sunday). We ordered and food was in front of us in about 10 minutes. Great portion size for the price. New buttermilk pancakes tasted great, although their syrup is way too sweet for my liking. We were seated in a booth in an area that was very cool (the air blew across the ceiling and down the wall). As we were next to the wall...it blew on us and was quite cool...so much so that our food cooled faster than it should have. This was the only hic-cup in our visit. Huge improvement.....great service, great food, great turnover of tables. read more

The food was fresh and the service was good. The only downfall was having to wait over 1 and half hour to get a table but once we placed our order, the orders came out quick. read more

On a quiet saturday evening with a half empty restaurant and quite over-staffed facility, we were hoping for a good breakfast fix. Wasn't served from the moment we sat down until I asked a waitress. After placing an order she never came back. After 45 minutes had to walk to the front to see if my order was put in. After the manager apologized, our order came out barely done, very rushed, and forgetting both sausage and toast. I only ever got the sausage. she forgot the toast again and coffee. They also served me about 20 pancake puppies... I ordered 6. I know it's still new but that was a terrible experience. Horrible horrible service and food. Dennys is my favourite place and this location ruined it both in quality of service and food. read more

There was a hype for this restaurant and I decided to go and try it with my family for breakfast. It was very busy when we walked it, the place was bustling with people ordering, talking, and eating their food. The servers seemed like they were in a rush to get things done. My family and I ordered but they got our order messed up. So we had to wait a lot longer, but the food was warm when it was given to us so I guess that's pretty good. The food was alright, it wasn't anything special. There's free wifi, so when you enter make sure to look at the password placed at the front desk. Overall I would come back again but it's not at the top of the list for a breakfast place. read more

Probably the worst Denny's Ive ever been to. We had to wait an hour for seating and then on top of that another hour for our food. We ordered pancakes and they charged us an extra $3 for tiny little sorry pieces of strawberries even a baby would be mad to see! And on top of that when the food arrived, it was cold, like it took a trip to Antartica and back. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs and the sauce was so heavy, clumpy and thick! Made my stomach scream! Although, the waiter was kind but looked very lost. There was a family sitting across from us who were also upset about the same problems I was having. Won't ever step foot into this location again, ridiculous! read more

This is your classic Dennys. Typical of those you may see in the USA. The best part is that it is the only one in the local area of Vaughan and one of just a handful in the GTA. Good prices and reasonable food. read more

I drop by this restaurant with my husband for a quick late dinner since nothing else is open at 1am besides Timmy's and McD's. The restaurant was not busy and we were the only one at the front waiting to be seated. Not sure if it is protocol to have only two waiters working at night but we were told to wait a second so we did. As we waited for the person to come seat us down with the menu, 6 more customers came and waited as well. The diners that were already seated were waiting to pay for their bill and a few were waiting for food. The waiter came by and said to give him some more time and we were okay. The total waiting time was around 25 minutes. The second waiter came to rush us to place our order so we quickly chose one order of wedges with a siracha burger and my husband opted for a breakfast plate with a side order of pancakes. Surprisingly the food came within 10mins but the plates kind of gross me out being all dirty and greasy. The breakfast had nothing to write home about but I will give them a star for a hot plate of fries and burger which is a good thing. The burger tasted fine, better than most places that specializes in burgers only. Will I return to give this restaurant a try? Probably not, this is my second visit and I have tried the breakfast in the morning before and not much difference in terms of service. Dennys specializes in making breakfast but it is always serve cold and flavorless, at least the dinner portion is not bad. read more

Good place for early/ late breakfast? Okay service but I understand where it's coming from when you see many drunk people Saturday/ Sunday morning coming from night clubs etc. Food is good, served fast. read more

Had their signature breakfast and it arrived cold, the scrambled eggs were clumpy and bland, the bacon way over cooked and the hash browns thrown on the plate The plate was thrown together, not a care about presentation At the end of it all for the cost you can go to many other places on the area for the money and have a much better breakfast Don't think I'll be going back read more

So, I probably should have expected that Denny's wouldn't meet the 5-star "Yelpian" standards but what they lack in quality they usually make up for in quantity. We ordered reeses peanut butter cup pancakes and do you think they put the blessed cups in the pancakes...nope...they lathered on peanut butter and some weird mix of chocolate and nutella... tasty but not what we wanted...the only redeeming factors were our awesome waitress and the free wifi. Yes, our waitress was on point. She remembered every detail of our order and jumped at every request. I just wish I could remember her name and give a shout out. Besides that, they come to your table every 5 minutes offering free coffee refills. Meh. read more

Been at this location twice already, first time It was an easy 4 star, second time a solid 2. Food - always decent, I was never disappointed from their food in the past as well, some things are really good and some are OK but never less than that. Service - first time was a really great service, we were a big group of people and we got top notch service, the second time the service was an absolute disaster!! It took them 10 min to get our order for drinks and she refused to take our order for food claiming she is coming back in a sec. I called her multiple times and she only came back to our table after about 15 min ( I thought it was an hour really). I was really hungry and this wait made me craaaazy mad... You know how it is. read more

The Belgian Waffle Slam was a bunt at best. I was still hungry after the meal and the waffles were dense as if the batter was watered down to stretch it out. Server was super friendly and food came out quick. read more

I am a Denny's lover. Their food is always so tasty and appealing! This is a pretty new location, couldn't pay with my Denny's app the server seemed to know nothing about this option, but he was amazing and patient with us. We were served quicly and our breakfast was excellent as usual! read more

Update: Just had a visit here. Service spot on. Not long of a wait and food taste and presentation stepped up. A good and promising sign. Will be back again to see if things really are better! Older review: I don't know man. We got so excited when Denny's was opening up near our home. I've been there three times and every time was a horrible experience. Presentation of food has been awful at times. Had their steak which was like eating cardboard. One slice of toast buttered while the other is not. Had a grilled skillet and the seasoning wasn't distributed properly so there were chunks of salt randomly throughout it. Etc. Etc. VERY slow service each time also. The same complaints are being echoed by friends and family that have been to this new location. I've also heard from people that have been there that the management is horrible and borderline abusive to their staff. Seems the problem with this location starts from the very top. Very disappointed. Will be going to my regular breakfast places in the area. This location is nothing compared to other Denny's locations. A shame because this one has such a beautiful modern design. read more

Denny's has been open for a while now at this location and the anticipation of this chain restaurant from the US was huge. It's safe to say now that the hype did not follow Denny's to Canada. It's just ok. Our first choice was Mcdonalds but the parking lot was a mess so Denny's was the second choice. Came here for a very late weekend evening and it was PACKED. If it wasn't for our waiter Felix this review would've definitely been a 2 star, shoutouts to him. In a nutshell, it took 1 hour to complete ordering, 15 minute to finish eating and then another 30 minutes to wrap everything up. With Denny's being a 24-hour breakfast destination, go if you must but don't be prepared to be blown away. read more

If i could give 0 stars I would, this place is trash. The host did not seat us at all, we waited 20 mins. You lost money pal

Fantastic experience! We were in the area and decided to visit this location on a whim. We're so glad we did! Our server (I believe her name is Roxanne) was extremely attentive and went above and beyond our expectations. Our meals were cooked to perfection, and everything was priced reasonably. Definitely worth the trip, especially since it's open 24 hours! read more

Breakfast started off well. Lorna was friendly and attentive. Quick to bring out water, coffee, and our meals when they were ready. Although the eggs are somewhat cold (the cheese on the eggs doesn't even melt) and the toast barely buttered, that's pretty much the standard at Denny's. But that's where our service ended. No check-ins to see how the meal was, no water or coffee refills. In fact, once we were long done our meals, we noticed we hadn't seen Lorna in quite a while. After about half an hour passed, sitting with our empty glasses and plates, we looked outside and saw her walking back inside from her car. She walked over, smelling like smoke, and asked if we wanted refills. I said no, just the bill please. Lorna went back behind the counter and never came back to our table. Another server came over with the machine about 10 minutes later and remarked, "where's your bill?" ... I would love to know! She left and came back with our bill so we could finally leave. Very weird. We also noticed Lorna's car/smoking room was parked in one of the 10 spots right in front. Nice to make your customers walk around from the far spots in the back. read more

Denny's is notorious for taking forever for bringing your food out. The waiter was extremely rude to my friend with a severe peanut allergy. She inquired about asking the kitchen to cook her meal separately from ones containing traces of peanuts and the waiter basically laughed and said he'd try but they can't do anything. I think it's extremely unfortunate for restaurants to not accommodate such a frequent and severe dietary restriction. read more

I've been to many Denny's but this one is closest to my house. I'll make it short, the food just tastes average, the prices are high for what they are, but my god, the service everytime. The most recent time, I JUST got seated and the server asked what I wanted. Like excuse me, I didn't even open the damn menu yet. The place was dead so it's not like she had other tables to attend to. She kept coming every minute asking what I wanted. The hot chocolate is powdered and worse than the ones you can get at the grocery stores. The skillet I got was burned and bone dry. Eggs tasted like water. She was literally hovering over me as I was paying, expecting a tip. Well guess what she didn't get. Go to another location, they will treat you better with better food. read more

On the plus side, the service gets an A+ ... the staff were like holdovers from a bygone era of helpfulness. Great variety on the menu as well. Unfortunately, the food is greasy and disappointing. read more

I was so happy this location open! Means I didnt have to travel far to have Denny's, however, I was not impressed. We went on a night where it was not busy at all. Our server was not friendly with us in the beginning. And just asked for our drinks, not even a hello, can I take your drink order? I kind of felt she was kind of rude. Then, we got our drinks and took us five mins to placed our order. We waited for like ten mins before our food came. On the bright side, the food was good. Could be a warmer though. Love the design of the place. Probably will come back. read more

I was really concerned that Canadian Denny's was going to be as disappointing as Target was when it came to Canada. I was pleasantly surprised that the experience very closely resembled Denny's in the US. Our server, Roxann, was amazing, the portions were very generous and the food was served hot. All in all, we had a very positive experience. I found the qualify of the food and portions to be a much better value than the Sunset chain of restaurants of which I am not a big fan. read more

Do not go here. Terrible management. Terrible service. Cold food. Manager does not attend to any customers and when we finally got his attention he was not very polite. Server took our orders, did not bring our drink until we got our food and we had to remind her that we ordered beverages. The food came out cold. There was no further service after we got our food until we asked for our bill. Disorganized restaurant overall. read more

Do not come here ! Horrible service and very rude people. Extremely unprofessional will never return.

It is Denny's. You either understand the wonder that is Denny's or you're a snob and won't let yourself love it. Other than this location being new and still working out the kinks of having a largely inexperienced staff, there are no complaints. I've been there nearly a dozen times since it opened a month ago. Never had the same meal twice, never had a bad meal. read more

This was the worst choice for breakfast. My friend and I decided it was a great place to go fir breakfast before we went to wonderland. Once we walked in we were taken care of and seated right away after that no one helped us. We sat there for 15mins contemplating leaving. Our last straw was when a group came in after use and got served right away. We then grabbed our menus and walked out. As we were walking out the manager asked if everything was okay I then told them what happen and all they could say was "whaaat". After no attempt to make us stay I put the menus where the belonged and walked out. We then went to the McDonald's down the road which I highly recommend. read more

I ordered the Steak Skewer Skillet, looks nothing like the picture. That's not real steak you get served, just something that looks like meat. There is no zucchini nor squash as advertised online and in their menu, ZERO. Everything else was mush, including the five bits of green and red peppers. The three paper thin slices of mushroom was a surprise. My wife ordered the Blackberry Pancake Breakfast. Another disappointment. Server brought out her food with no Blackberries. Just plain old pancakes. Told her they ran out. Asked her to choose another topping. That would mean it's a completely different dish. Disappointing food with bad service. read more

The best Dennys I have ever been to. This location is so clean and well maintained. The staff here are friendly and welcoming! And the food even tastes better and less greasy than the other locations- albeit I always order breakfast items, but compared to the other Dennys, this one takes the cake in taste. On weekday afternoons, this place is not that packed but during the weekends, most tables have occupants at them! read more

Nothing special. The wait time is ridiculous both when it's packed and when it's empty. The food is definitely not as tasty as it is in the States but that probably has to do with the fact that restaurants in Canada watch caloric intake and grease levels. Feel as if I could make better food at home for free. I had ordered the peanut butter and chocolate chip pancake breakfast. The waitress asked if I wanted sausage, bacon or a mix of both and I chose a mix. What a mix meant to them was one over cooked, shrivelled up piece of bacon and one baby breakfast sausage. The pancakes were overcooked and blackened on the top. Unfortunate, very much a let down. read more

Food was pretty good but the service on a busy morning was awful. We waited over 90 minutes for a table for 10 people and 3 of us didn't get what we ordered. I would suggest they start taking reservations for weekend mornings and holidays. Would have gone somewhere else because of the wait but couldn't get last minute reservations for this many people at another restaurant. read more

The Vaughan location is worst location!!! I came in tonight hoping to give it another try.. Nope a mistake. Let me start off by saying I lost my appetite there were so many flies in the restaurant. I've been to this location many times and the service is so horrible. One time we waited 45 minutes for two orders of pancakes.... Came out burnt. the older ladies that works there is so rude. They really need to trained the staff on what customer service is!!! I would not recommend this location to anyone ! Horrible service, horrible food. read more

I would give this NOT EVEN 1 STAR. My fiancé and his friend walked into Denny's Vaughan location around 1-1:30am on Sunday Aug 25 2019. They rode there on their motorcycles and had their gear on. The waitress/hostess (around 18-25 years old, blonde girl) walked by them without acknowledging them waiting for a table. There was no "hello" or "I'll be with you in a minute" just completely ignored them. That continued on for 25 min. My fiancé had to walk over to get some assistance asking to be seated ONLY to be told that there was no clean tables even though there were PLENTY of clean tables around and not in use as it was around 1am on a SUNDAY. When they were finally seated, she did not come back to take their order for another 15-20 minutes so eventually they got up and left. They tried to get her attention but she was too busy serving other tables while IGNORING the customers who had to wait 25 minutes to even be SEATED. And to have to wait another 20 min to get served? Who is management even hiring? Do they have any customer service skills at all, is she just completely oblivious or is she discriminating them based on what they looked like/wearing because they came in on motorcycles?? My fiancé and his friend both work for the city of Toronto and came in looking for a decent meal late at night and got in return NOTHING but frustration. This is absolutely RIDICULOUS behaviour and terrible customer service. There was no apologies for the long wait or any sort of acknowledgment of their existence at this establishment and this was not their first time being there. It's safe to say whoever was working there that night should have some additional training in customer service because if that's who you have serving your customers, I'm surprised you're still in business. Never again will we eat here and we will be sure to inform all our friends and family members, including the people we work with to be cautious coming to this place if at all. read more
