    The lobby before Hamilton!

    So I visited for the first time with a kid and first time since the pandemic began and I was pleasantly surprised how excellently this experience went for our kid! The kids' menu is great: picking an entree and a side (or two!) went rather well as the kid could point to pictures of desired items. The crayons for colouring were brand name Crayola, and the kids' menu included milkshakes so my toddler had a very first milkshake too! The kid even ate pretty much everything ordered which is impressive for a toddler... so this Denny's comes toddler-approved! It even has high chairs and booster seats (though the kid used the high chair). Denny's is one of the only restaurants I know of that still offers a free birthday meal with ID, no email list sign up or loyalty program required, which was a huge reason why we visited at this point in the pandemic, as one of our group had a birthday to celebrate. And they implement it as either a free build your own grand slam or a discount that you can apply to any menu item which is great! I didn't know they did that! As for how it handled the pandemic, they were consistently applying the current restrictions and checking ID. We were happy to be seated far away from others in the restaurant and there were barriers in between booths. I could tell that a number of students were lingering there to study or otherwise and the server who was handling basically the whole restaurant (or at least the whole part that was in use) was doing his best to keep up. It wasn't super busy as we were there on a weekday evening but it wasn't slow either with a trickle of people coming in and out. All the patrons seemed to be abiding by masking rules very well though as were staff. Food service was a bit slow but the food (and milkshakes) really hit the spot. I was exceptionally impressed that the server dissuaded me from ordering an item because people frequently complain that it is too salty and steered me toward ordering something I really enjoyed. It really helped making our experience wonderful! I've visited this location on and off over the years with middling results but this experience definitely encourages me to come back more in the future: it really was a great family dining experience on this occasion and the pandemic is being handled well. Parking is ample (though it is a bit challenging to navigate the parking lot if unfamiliar), and there is great transit accessibility here.

    Great Denny's location in downtown Edmonton, across from Grant MacEwan University. 24 hrs Friday and Saturday. Service was excellent!

    The eggs were so uncooked and black unknown substance on the eggs

    worst food I've ever had, the food was uncooked and honestly think a kid would be able to cook better eggs. NEVER COMING BACK!

    Oh Dennys's I love coming to you for Sunday Brunch but you disappoint me this time :( Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday, after making a reservation the table for our group of 10 which was not ready (there were not additional seat or tables available so we had to cozy up), the beverages too very long and they were NEVER refill as our waitress was really busy on here area. We all order and it took 45min for the food to arrive! Not kidding. They did also forgot the order of the birthday girl!!! What?!!! Oh yes they did. Other 15min for wait for her food to have a very overcooked Salmon. Denny's you didn't even offer a 5% discount for the birthday girl on her special day. We would think twice before coming to celebrate another birthday here.

    A decent bowl of spaghetti w/ garlic toast, a great serving of red skinned hash browns, along with a tasty Oreo milkshake to wash it down!

    I just came here the other night to hang out with a friend for a nice, late night meal. Our server Joyce was a sweetheart and very attentive from start to finish. There was hardly any wait time for our meals, and they turned out to be pretty good! I must give credit to whoever whipped up my red skinned cubed hash browns: Denny's makes some of the best hash browns in Edmonton in my opinion! The Oreo milkshake I had as well was a great treat to tie it all off. Oh and PS: the people watching around here late at night can be quite the treat too. You'll see a lot of interesting characters come around this location to say the very least. If you're in the Grant MacEwan area and everywhere else is closed or doesn't appeal to you, look no further than right here!

    Trying a new item on the menu- orange cream cheese pancakes with raisins, scrambled eggs, sausage.
    Maya D.

    I wish I knew how huge the portion would be- what was I thinking. The pancakes were fluffy, the raisins were a great addition and so was the orange cream cheese frosting. I kinda wished the raisins were throughout and not only in the center. The scrambled eggs were sort of rubbery and dry, the sausages were good. I ordered breakfast tea thinking it would come in a pot just like the coffee my husband ordered. Instead, I was offered a Lipton teabag, a cup and a half worth of hot water, honey but I wasn't offered any milk or cream. It was a so so experience. The waitress was pleasant!

    Food is good but they charge extra for franks red hot and their tabasco has the consistency of being watered down.

I love their cinnamon buns but this time I did not order one. My friend and I came here for supper. It was delicous. I had the Red Curry Laksa with prawns, PEI mussels, bok choy, carrots, bell peppers, red onions, vermicelli noodles, red coconut curry sauce, and cilantro. My friend had the falafel and fries. I loved my Red Curry Laksa. It was fresh and rich. Loved the red coconut curry sauce. The seafood was a decent portion. My friend liked her falafal but it definately wasn't the best she has had and was eyeing up my curry. Service was OK. I feel like because we didn't order alcoholic beverages, we didn't get service as much as the tables that did. That won't prevent me from coming here again.

Both were so very tasty, and did not disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant is different than many places I've gone to. Being close to the University of Alberta main campus, many young students compose the clientele of Sugarbowl, but not limited to. The decor is very nice - brick walls and posters, and hand written beer menu, to name a few. Service was very good, professional, and friendly!! Overall good experience, and will return again in the future.

Brunch is offered on Saturday and Sunday, otherwise they open for lunch (closed Mondays). Epic Market is huge. This will be a very popular place for the Whyte Avenue crowd as there are so many options available depending on which floor you enter. We were on the second floor today for brunch but the first floor, which has a similar look and feel, has a Mexican menu. It opens for lunch at 11:30am. It's a unique concept for Edmonton. The server said that they've opened similar restaurants in larger cities like Toronto but Edmonton is their first venture into a "smaller market". The brunch menu was interesting with some unique features and some typical offerings. I had the Pork Bennie, for $18.00 in 2024. The prices are quite reasonable for the type and quantity of the food. My bennie was good. My only criticism is that a special house ketchup would have been a nice touch. The service was excellent and we had a nice view of Gateway Blvd out the window. The coffee includes endless refills which is good because the cups were not very large. I'm sure the vibe is much different for dinner than brunch, but based on our experience, I'll definitely return.

My wife and I both ordered the Chandru Special for $17.50. It's a crepe with bacon and eggs inside plus some cheese slices melted on top. There was a side of fresh fruit. The presentation was somewhat lacking as the cheese slices made it look like something you find at your children's birthday party. The dish definitely needed some sauce to help it down. At least the fruit was good. Our server was very skilled at tunnel vision as she didn't see us even when walking right by our table. Eventually we caught her and got a refill for our coffee. She was pleasent enough when she arrived but definitely didn't want to do refills. On a more positive note, my friend ordered an omelet which came with potatoes that looked like thick potato chips. They looked good and he liked them. If I return it will be because I am in the area and can't find a better place. In other words, three stars out of five.

We would go back in a heartbeat, just need to sleep off the food coma for a while. It's bright and airy in spite of the smallish space and the amount of booths and tables, oh and you can sit at the counter. The walls and ceiling are covered in memorabilia, concert banners and what not. The place was absolutely hopping at 12:45 PM, but we were sat in a booth right away. Waters dropped moments later, asked if we needed coffee, tea or whatever else you wanted to drink. Our server was fantastic, explaining and educating us as we were first timers. The food came out piping hot very quickly and our tea ordered after the food was dropped came in a large teapot and hot just like at home. The clubhouse, which I did not have, has house made ham and turkey according to our server. My corn beef had slices of corn beef that did not taste house made, but the sheer volume of meat I couldn't finish, the eggs were cooked perfectly. K's Mexicasa omelette was excellent with the Mexican meat the star. I know why the place is consistently full, it's that good. Definite redo when back in West Edmonton

The corned beef has had mashed potatoes which is different from what I'm used to but it was tasty nonetheless. My husband substituted the pancakes in his meal for pan fried potatoes. The place was super busy even though it was around 2pm and was still packed when we left. They seated us quickly as we were willing to sit at a table but we could've waited for a booth. The servers were friendly and fast which was perfect for us as I needed to get to an appointment. It's a relatively small restaurant with many patrons. It's definitely got that old diner vibe which is always fun once in a while. If you're looking for a solid, traditional diner experience, you can't for wrong with Rockin' Robyn's.
