    I ordered through uber eats on 3/17. I ordered a cobb salad with crispy chicken and i received my salad with a very long hair in my food. Very disturbing and gross, and wa

    When in Waikiki and you want to save a few bucks just stop in at Denny's. The food is solid and if you're 55+ take a look at the 55+ menu. It's where we found the chicken fried steak with gravy, and two sides. All for $9.99. The chicken fried steak was actually pretty good, a smaller lunch portion which is appreciated, and it tasted well. I chose the steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, add gravy, and it all was great. There are other items on the 55+ menu including some breakfast items, so it's a deal that's hard to beat especially here.

    Breakfast!

    Come here daily for breakfast daily while in Hawaii and wasn't disappointed. I was on here for Honeymoon week and our hotel, while in a nice area, did not have free breakfast or any breakfast of any type. Because we had to wake up early for excursions and couldn't be stuck behind lines for some of the other breakfast options, this was our go-to spot. By the end of the week, most of the staff knew who we were. Service was great and the food is fresh. Normally I wouldn't be a Denny's fan, but the food was just really good. They gave coffee to go daily too. The only negative is the high prices, but that is Hawaii for you.

    Trio had visited this location three times for breakfast. Each time we've had a different server and sat in a different area either at a table or booth. We may have to wait at least 15 to 30 minutes on weekends or holidays. At this location, write your name and number of people in your party on sign in sheet clipboard located on counter. There's a section of cushioned seats in the waiting area. If lobby is full, wait outside. If waiting outiside, I highly recommend checking sign in sheet periodically so you don't miss your turn. I was super hungry and ordered Southwestern Benny Breakfast. Chorizo hidden inside the perfectly made eggs Benedict delivered spicy. Hold off the Tapatio. Not necessary. Creaminess from egg yolk soothed spicy palate and complemented crispy hash browns. I ate everything. I also craved for sweet and asked for Ala Carte Strawberry Stuffed French Toast. SIightly crispy on the edges. Structure held up and coated well with egg batter. Coconut syrup around edges, sliced strawberries, strawberry syrup and powder sugar paired well with French toast. Stuffed on outside. Not on inside. I was only able to eat one since my tummy felt satisfied and full. I took the second French toast home in a to go container.

    Ramona was the sweetest waitress ever! She remembered all of her customers and our orders we went there 3 times and every time she was almost more sweet than the day before.

    After a salad dinner, Dessert!  Short stack pancakes and Brioche French Toast; we asked for sugar free syrup to make it somehow OK

    This is a good Denny's! Went here on my last night in Hawaii as an alternate choice. Had reservations at Outrigger Reef's Monkeypod but it was crazy loud! Dueling music with classic live Hawaiian music at the hotel's Grill near the pool but music was at volume 10 (how folks could eat listenin to a show at that volume?) but it was competing with the private promotional event (invite only) playing house music next door before Monkeypod...oh my head and my hearing! Forget having any good dinner conversation so we escaped and spied this Denny's across the street! Roy's was also across the street but pancakes were calling to us. Place was clean, had families, and service was attentive enough even though only 1 waiter. Food was actually good, well-done diner food. Did I tell you this location is 24/7?!! It was a great choice with no regrets!

    I feel like I haven't been to Denny's in forever. It's been that long. The T-Mobile Tuesday app had an offer of 70% off their Original Grand Slam. Alright, they got me and I decided to go. Our server was Cierra (sp), she told me her name but didn't have a name tag on. She was the best and told me that that location was the only one on the island open 24 hrs. I got a strawberry shake to go with my grand slam. The Original Grand Slam comes with two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pieces of sausage and two pancakes. Everything was on point. My over easy eggs were perfect and my bacon was crispy. The pancakes were light and fluffy. I didn't have high hopes for the milkshake, but that came out perfect as well. They even brought me the leftover that couldn't fit in the glass in a metal cup. I wasn't expecting that. I'm not sure how other items taste at Denny's, but it's five stars for my grand slam and milkshake. It's also five stars for the service I got. Cierra was on top of everything.

    Do they have gluten free pancakes?

    Do they have a new promotion on the eggs Benedict?

    Good question.....I know they have a bigger menu, so they might have a new promotion on Eggs Benedict :)

    Do they have a bar do they serve beer?

    No bar, no alcohol served, no alcohol allowed in the restaurant

    Is the $8.99 steak and eggs good? Is it US meat or from Brazil?

    Not sure... I didn't check the cows' passport before I ate it.

    Is there parking?

    Unfortunately, no.

    Little overdue of a review but here we go lol…read more. Diners has been a staple for my family & I , and I'm sure many other families on island for YEARS. Our family's go to was always Cheeseburger and yellow sauce with fries! As time and society evolved , so did Diners, since they became "Upscale" and added more things to their menu. I have tried their Grilled lobster plate more than once from their Upscale menu in the past and I think during that time it was $15? Not sure if it's still that price, but for that price it was a winner! Lobster + salad and rice ? What more can you ask for since that's basically a steal in today's economy. Anyway , I was in the area recently and decided on diners for dinner. I was really craving ahi katsu, unfortunately my go to spot was already closed since I decided on dinner a little after 8pm ish? So I thought .. well diners has ahi katsu supposedly .. why not give it a try. I wasn't expecting much since it was Diner's BUT needless to say.. their ahi katsu is DELICIOUS. Seasoned well and cooked to perfection! I love the sauce they drizzle on the katsu. I should've asked for extra sauce on the side had I known it was gonna be yummy! But that's something to keep note of on my next visit in the future. I definitely would order this plate again! And continue to adventure out on their menu lol. A tip to keep in mind : they do have signs posted by their windows to be patient when ordering because they do take a bit to make and give you your order since they are always short staffed. And there's normally alot of people waiting or ordering since lots come to this establishment right after work or in between work or just simply there for a bite to grab. So prepare to wait .. but sometimes you can be lucky where it doesn't take as long. It does truly depend on time and the day I guess. Also one last thing, my personal opinion , I think Diners is worth grabbing food from. Whether you're hungry , in the area or wanting to grind. Some people have mixed reviews or bad experiences but me personally , I always had a good outcome. Oh also before I forget their steak is delicious too (LOL) , never ordered it for myself but I shared some of it with one of my relatives who ordered their steak before. Give this place a shot!

    This morning stopped to have a quick breakfast at the old Diners in Kalihi . It's now called…read moreUpscale Hawaii . It's funny the new name it's the same old Diners . Maybe the menu change a little but same ordering counter limited tables with the cement seating like I remembered over 20years ago lol . I had their breakfast special not bad @ $9.95 2 eggs, rice, choice of meats , I decided on Vienna sausage and they gave 7 pieces very generous I've been to places they either gave between 4-5 . Service was like usual pretty slow the lady at the counter was getting the phone orders and the live customers orders mix up . So it took awhile with only 2 customers in front of me . Support local when possible
