Denny’s

First time to this location will never come back. Very poor service and quality of food. Very disappointed !

Server Thanh did not smile or introduce herself, she asked my companion if he would like a drink and not myself, then she was loud talking at a customer on another table and her exact words were «Did you watch the game last night? What the hell was that they were bullying Calgary» When she went to our table to get our order my companion says he is not ready but I was and I was giving her my order and she cut me off and says «Well if I put your order now your orders wont be at the same time «, When we were ready to order we had to repeat ourselves three times and she still got one order wrong.

I have been pleased overall with my visits here. I special ordered one of those skillet breakfasts to share with my breakfast partner. The waitress was very receptive to taking a special order. After she returned to see if everything was alright I explained to her that the special order part had been overlooked. She had the order corrected quite quickly and it was then brought to us by the manager who sincerely apologized and made further offers of goodwill.
I have been back a couple of times since and no mistakes, good serving size — easily able to share it between two and steady coffee refills.
I will go back again for certain.

I felt the need to update my review. I have been to this Denny’s since writing the review. Things have definitely improved. The staff seem to have figured out the place, and have it running much more efficiently. Its a busy Denny’s, no doubt because of the location.
When I was in recently, I built my own veggie burger and I have to say it was very good. I chose a Cheddar Cheese bun which was delicious. The veggie patty, although not particularly special was a good one. The toppings I chose were fresh and tasty. The seasoned fries were VERY good,. Crispy, tasty and slightly greasy (which made them tastier I think).
Our server was friendly and efficient. I like that at this Denny’s they have no problem with special orders, largely due to the fact that you can create a multitude of breakfasts from the a la carte menu. Only downside to this visit. They had 2 women wandering around the restaurant selling coupon books that benefited breast cancer. The coupon books were for Denny’s, so I see the tie in, but I don’t think that diners should be solicited at the table while eating. Other than that, though Dennys is a pretty straightforward, what you see is what you get kind of place. Reasonably priced, and predictable.

I would have to agree with a few other posters, 1 from the states stating the portion sizes were a little small and both also saying the décor, although new and very nice, feels like one is in a supermarket.
Bright? I’ll say!
First thing one notices about this Denny’s in particular, is, if they got the lightbulbs any brighter, it would be a competitor for the Luxor in Las Vegas.
Tip to management, um, guys, chill out on the wattage will ya? It’s not a laboratory! Either pull some light bulbs or turn down the dimmer a bit!
I have been there with a partner on a few times, and the food, is good consistent Denny’s benchmark every time, along with all the other Denny’s. One knows what one is going to get.
BUT! It’s either inflation, cost of materials, wages, business operating costs etc, as the portion sizes overall on most of the Denny’s all over Calgary have started to border on miserly.
They have been shrinking these last several years. Back in 2004, when I first moved to Canada, it was a good amount. Now, a handful of fries.
Sure, inflation makes businesses adjust things. But how come Denny’s in the US are still ginourmous portions?
And guys, what’s with the agressive rap and hip hop at this location? Really? It’s a restaurant, not a bump n grind club.
The final last straw for me not visiting Denny’s if I can help it moment? Many (if not all) have TV’s now.
Yes, really. Which genius thought of that? I’d like to meet him/​her.
Sigh. And to think at one point, one could have a haven after a tough night shift for a quiet cup of coffee and wind down with ones work buddies.
Nope. Hockey on the TV, (oooh, like you cant see it ANYWHERE else right?!?) superstore lighting levels and drunken idiots crashing in at 1am at some restaurants.
The idiot lantern is slowly ruining everything.
Avoid.
Thank god for Humpty’s and Perkins.

After a horrific experience at the Macleod Trail Denny’s. I went straight here for a late night breakfast. All I can say, while the place was ½ empty and there was only 1 server, he managed to cover the entire place, was attentive and fast. Breakfast was about average for any Denny’s, but I knew what I was expecting too.
I would say, if you really want a Denny’s experience, go here. Way more relaxed.

Grabbed a quick breafast here since we’d received a giftcard from an online promotion.
Clean and bright. We were seated promptly.
Food took a long while to arrive considering the restaurant was largely empty.
Server was surly, but I suppose I might be surly working at Denny’s as well.
Received a plain omelet when egg white was ordered; Let it go since we were in a hurry.
«Seasonal» fruit cup was one slice of a banana, grapes and some honey dew. Since when are bananas, grapes or honeydew a seasonal fruit in May?
Toast already came buttered/​greased.
Food was exceedingly small-​portioned given the prices.
Haven’t been in a Denny’s in a long while, but if that’s what any indication of the food or service is like typically… then it’ll again be a long while…
The only plus is they take AMEX.
Would recommend any local greasy spoon over Denny’s.
