Possibly the worst food in all of Christchurch! Such a shame too as I believe there is only one 24-hour restaurant in Christchurch – this one! With a run, skip and hop across the road from the movies it would be so convenient if this restaurant was good, but unfortunately it wasn’t very good on my last visit! I went there a while ago admittedly, last year in fact, and haven’t been back since. But thought it was still worth writing a comment as I feel it’s important to warn future customers. I used to go there many years ago (more or less straight after they launched the branch in Christchurch) on Friday and Saturday nights and it was great! The food was consistently good and reasonably priced. Then after returning to the city from a few years away overseas, it was instantly noticeable that the restaurant had really gone downhill in a BIG way! The food was very bland and not very fresh, almost tasteless. The menu still had food particles left on it from the service before. The waitress was ok but wasn’t exactly full of life or seemingly happy to be there. I was particularly embarrassed as I had bought some of my overseas friends with me after initially telling them about the place! Everyone was noticeably disappointed. When I got up to pay and complained about my meal there was literally an argument at the counter about my perception of what I termed as being ‘bad food’, and they reluctantly applied a discount to my food bill. I have never been back since. I would really like to know if this place has improved since – if anyone feels to comment about their recent adventures to this restaurant I’d like to hear from you.

I was disapointed to find that the menu has been changed and there’s no spare ribs anymore. They were my favourite!

I had the Apricot Chicken, which I have had at Denny’s once before and it was nice on that occasion. However, the other night it was very dry indeed and not an enjoyable meal. Also, the vegetables weren’t very exciting.

I wouldn’t go there again in a hurry.
