Tip: Get a free original grand slam or build your own grand slam on your birthday…read more My first Denny's dining experience happened in Winnipeg. There used to be a Denny's on Ellice Avenue at St. James Street. I went there often when I lived in this city. I recall saying to my friend that we needed to go to Denny's for dinner. I liked the alliteration. That location has since closed for good. However, this Denny's isn't too far away from it. This eatery is a part of the Sandman Hotel and is near the airport. I came here on my birthday for lunch. You can choose from a free original grand slam or build your own grand slam on your birthday. There was lots of parking in front of the hotel. I found an available spot to park my vehicle and walked in. It didn't take long for someone to greet me and lead me to a booth. Nancy was my server. She was efficient, friendly, and exceptionally competent. I let her know that it was my birthday. She smiled and nodded. She didn't ask for proof, which was refreshing. She let me know what my options were. I kept it simple and ordered the original grand slam. My original grand slam consisted of these items: - Scrambled eggs - Bacon - Sausage - Pancakes The only item that I paid for was a Diet Coke. I got unlimited refills. Nancy was attentive, making sure that I always had Diet Coke. It was cold and fizzy. My food was delicious. The scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly. I loved having bacon and sausage. I didn't have to decide. I got both! They were yummy. I loved my pancakes. They were fluffy with butter on top. I got a bottle of maple syrup, which I happily used. Perfect! I paid for my drink and tipped generously at the table. I paid with a credit card. Done! I used the washroom before I headed down to the south end of the city. It was clean. No complaints! It was great visiting this Denny's. I had a memorable experience on my birthday. I'll be back when I'm in Winnipeg again. (284)

The inside is pretty big. Lots of TVs were on and all of them were tuned into the World Cup match on. Our server was Kateryne, who I believe was also tending the bar. She helped us navigate the menu and also pointed out that they served brunch every day until 3 which was a nice surprise. She was friendly, helpful and professional. She pointed out a few items that were popular but I chose to go with the Spanish hash, which was two poached eggs on top of onions, hash browns, and chorizo. Came with a side of ketchup but I asked for hot sauce and it made the dish kick nicely. We got refills whenever we wanted, and spent a couple hours working here. Didn't feel rushed and to be honest, I was surprised it wasn't busier for the early game. Hopefully when Canada was on at 5 today it got better. Support small owned businesses! My thanks to the kitchen and staff (esp Kateryne) for the help and service today!

I noticed this recently and the fries with chilli my wife and my favourite in the city are greasy as hell now. Also the guy at the front is rude and condescending typical spoiled brat vibe and they do not serve in order she waited and my wife has heart issues so standing their waiting for our order. I can not stand long because of a disability so she went in and immediately mention the counter guys attitude which surprised me as my wife is a super bubbly friendly person who treats everyone around her with respect she avoids confrontation at any cost so i was not happy when i heard and saw how shaken she was!!!! She watched everyone get their food ahead of her and she ordered before all of them plus gave them a 15 percent tip when she paid. We will not be going back again after going their for over 60 years this was our last visit. Ever since the old Italian guys sold it it has gone down hill ! Between the attitude of the server who acts like he is doing you a favour by serving you i mean i noticed it once before i went by myself and was not busy they really need to move him to the back or i am worried someone might clean his clock his attitude screams please punch my face type of guy. The hot dogs now seem to be of a much lower quality then before. They must have changed their supplier before they snapped when you bit into them like European style hot dogs like before when they were served everywhere when Winnipeg was a much more European type of place with a European influenced culture being the most dominant. Now they taste like maple leaf crap that's the reason so many people loved them because not as many places had that style of hot dog anymore and the once incredible fry and chilli is becoming a gross greasy mess!! I do not mind a little grease but when its a 1 inch soup at the bottom of a plastic container soaking through the bag its in that's when i have a issue with it this and many other things including the high prices. This was always a blue collar place a place where a working man could afford to take his family on a Saturday drive for ice cream and burgers and still have some change left in his pockets. Many still go they are always busy some of this i believe is based on nostalgia but if things do not change they will start to lose business. I hope they read this and take it as constructive criticism coming from a long long time customer who supports local businesses religiously who has been going like i said to this place since 1965!! Please make the changes because its a Winnipeg institution one i hope goes on forever as Winnipeg has lost so many great family restaurants over the last 15-20 years so many really great places that served great Canadian and British food like great prime rib and Yorkshire pudding at The Beefeater a typical Canadian Sunday dinner when i grew up here Alycia's C Kelekis the Paladin so many great Ukraine and Italian where as now its all East Indian and Chinese stuff!!! Your chilli is still good but is missing something that it had before plus we could do without the the excessive grease soup at the bottom never had that issue with the former owners that just shows lack of caring about what your serving the paying customer and the burgers are still good and so are the plain Frys but they used to be great and they can be again sometimes success ruins something special and i see it coming with this place. Please go back to the old hot dog supplier or deep fry them for a second or two like you used to the old Italian guys knew best and make sure to drain excessive grease off customers fry and chilli and please get someone taking payments who can deal with the public that is a nice personable likable person not someone with a smarmy passive aggressive attitude . Hire someone who enjoys this type of interaction with the public not some rude angry guy with a chip on his shoulder . I understand that it can be difficult at times people can be jerks but if you treat nice people like that even in a passive aggressive manner smart people can feel it and recognize it and that is enough to lose them as customers. Dairy Whip deservers someone who can handle it professionally and its loyal customers should be treated with respect many have been customers since it opened in the late 50s!!!!! Without them you can not operate a profitable business. My father in-law who is not a fussy eater complained last year when we took him here as he lives out of town and wanted to try his teenage favorite place he was so disappointed and it was out of character for him as he will eat almost anything and be grateful for it!!! At the time i just shrugged it off but i finally had to call it out .I hate to have to write this review but in doing so i hope it will help Dairy Whip get back on track as one of the best drive inns in Winnipeg again!!!

The pea, rice and bean patty sounded healthy and interesting but when I bit into my burger I was disappointed. I didn't see any traces of peas, rice or bean in the patty. In fact it tasted like a soy patty at a fast food place. My friend's French fries were very lightly salted. They were okay. We were the only customers for an hour or so and the waitress didn't ask if we wanted to refill our drinks.

If I had breakfast earlier in the day I probably would've went for the burger too, but I was definitely satisfied with my meal too. Service was great too, and there were definitely many regulars there judging by how the employees knew several of them. Certainly a place I'll return, and this time I'll definitely have a burger.
