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 ago > Sadly, 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 ago > The 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, Kinsey Hall, 10 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5402695&lon=172.6392053) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5402695,172.6392053,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Denny's) - [Sydenham](https://www.chch.live/sydenham), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/101539517), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Denny's?** An American restaurant in Sydenham, Christchurch. **Where is Denny's?** 382 Moorhouse Avenue, Sydenham, on [Moorhouse Avenue](https://www.chch.live/street/sydenham/moorhouse-avenue).
