Was a Tuesday night about 8.30pm, easy to get a table. Should be a sign to say all day breakfast menu as looked yummy. But what i ordered there were no complaints here.
Peter Green, 2 months agoSadly, our dine-in experience at Denny’s was not great. We visited around 9:40 pm, after the dinner rush, yet my pulled pork burger arrived cold. I didn’t complain at the time because I was hungry, but the pork didn’t seem like pulled pork at all—more like minced meat. The curly fries were okay, but overall I don’t think I’ll be back.
T J, 8 months agoThe service was ok, food came out quickly and nothing on our order was wrong. The food was mediocre at best. The surf & Turf steak was still cold in the middle and the prawns like rubber, thankfully someone else at my table ordered a T bone that comes with a hot plate so I was able to somewhat heat it up. Probably wouldn't eat here again
