Would totally dine here again.

I have always liked Dennys for the fact it’s cheap, easy and you can pick reflectively healthy options on the menu rather than some fat riddled burger from MCDonalds. Dennys customer service was pretty good except from an indian man that took our plates away from us when we had barely finished….but apart from that it was pretty good!! GO DENNYS!!!

On the 23rd November I thought I would take my Lady out for dinner. I chose Denny’s as I was impressed with their service and food from their restaurants overseas.
Well we waited a while to be noticed and was the greeted and taken to a table. We then ordered our drinks and then our meal. The wine arrived and I noticed that the glass was dirty. When the young lad appreciated I showed him and asked him not to put the wine into a clean glass but change the glass and wine. He snapped at me asked me if I though that he was stupid. Anyway when the food arrived my meat was so badly overcooked I could no eat it. My partner’s food was not nice and she left half of it. Well pudding at that point was out of the question. We went to pay and it took nine minutes to pay as the woman at the till was so useless at her job. I must say this is the worst place I have eaten at in Christchurch and will never go back. It is sad to say the the service and food at MacDonalds is a million times better that Denny’s Restaurant. Shame on you Dennys for your bad service and bad food.

My family’s experience here was a.o.k. I found the service here great and so was the food. We only ordered dessert for our child (she’s a very fussy eater so we can only usually find her something on the dessert menu) and the staff had enough initiative to bring it out with our mains without me telling them too as I forgot – well done! Most restaurants if I don’t tell them, they don’t. I would dine here again.

After a very long & busy day & night last Saturday my husband & I being quite hungry decided to go to your restaurant for a bite to eat, I ordered a shrimp cocktail & a surf ‘n’ turf for my main, we were both very disappointed not only in our disgusting meals but also the service, the whole thing was an absolute waste of our time and money and we will not be eating there again and will be letting people know of the service or lack of we experienced while there.

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.
