Food was the standard Denny's breakfast. Several people who had drinks somewhere else came in and ordered. Place was clean, bathrooms were clean. Here's where things get twisted. Waitress from India stopped at our table and stated when you want to order close your menus. Like we have never been in place to eat before, she was rude, crude. I ordered the milkshake and she said it's ice cream, well no &$it Sherlock. Well then I was asked to pay for our meal before the food came, she said it was new policy . I didn't see any other table have to pay. Will not come back here to eat don't recommend this place. read more

Came here for lunch on my wife's birthday. Denny's is our go to spot because you get a free Grand Slam (or equivalent) on your birthday. It's been awhile since we've been back at this location though. There is plenty of parking. Inside is your typical Denny's. My wife got the Grand Slam and I settled on the Chicken Fingers. Food was really good on this day. We like Denny's and have been to a few and the food here is really good. What really tips the scale though is our server Anjali. She was super awesome. Super friendly and attentive. She came around multiple times to see if we needed anything. She seemed to generally care that we came in on this day. When you have a server like that it not only makes the meal that much better but it set up the rest of the day to be great. So thank you! read more

The staff, Jennifer and Anjali were very nice. My poutine was hot and fresh and overall a fun experience.

The food here is amazing and so is the service! One of the waitresses May was so sweet and was very attentive to our table! The ambiance is nice too with the old retro diner feel! Would recommend this place over the Denny's in deerfoot by ikea. read more

Beautiful location for a Denny's. I liked the atmosphere. I went there today and the food was delicious and the staff were very kind. Our server was May, she was incredibly kind and gave great service overall. They came by to check up on us and kept asking if we needed anything I would recommend going here! read more

There was a special....the grandslam was $3.99. I've never had it before and never been to Dennys before, even though I lived right behind the restaurant. But always wanted to try...well never again. I feel gross now . read more

Denny's Restaurant Macleod Trail - Strawberry banana smoothie is worth 6.49$ - American Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The Caesar's are literally just Clamato with vodka, no rim, no Tabasco or Worcestershire sauce. I couldn't even drink mine. The food was not good and when asked how it was we said it wasn't good and the host didn't even acknowledge us saying it was bad. And it cost over $50 for two people for the most disappointing breakfast ever. Can't believe I just paid $50 for bacon and eggs and Clamato juice. read more

Denny's Restaurant Macleod Trail - a man holding a cell phone and a glass of juice - American Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

We had an awesome family get together together. Service was fast and fully respectful of Covid rules. I provided my name and phone number. My strawberry pancakes were served with eggs and hash browns, the bacon I gave to my son. My wife had the cinnamon pancakes and enjoyed it. I found it a bit too sweet for my tastes but she enjoyed it. Parking was easy and service was very good in this place. I noticed a guy cleaning up the booth ahead of us, while we were eating so yes they do clean in between clients. The syrup was plenty, not any extra charge. read more

A sausage, a sausage, my kingdom for a sausage! As I sit here relishing in the delicacies of a long forgotten spoken word, one cannot stop to think of the true meaning to truthfully enjoy the scrumptious idea of a sit down meal; dusk or dawn, day or night, clear headed or inebriated, Dennys may be that long lost friend we so deeply require at dire times in ones life. I quote the great scripture of Shakespeare only to remind ones self that we to are immortal when we relinquish the great guilt of cunning obesity in the eyes of the beholder, or such is, a lonesome thought that once struck flame. I was greeted by a ravishing young maiden. Not a day over 53. Fair skinned, stout and full of life she guided me to a booth fit for a king, yet built for a utilitarian conquest of a devotion so deep for the glut of sausage and pancakes the great Alan Humsby would not save a grace for he, and only he, knows how to crumb with the best.

After taking a friend to the airport before sunrise, I needed someone to have breakfast before work. Unfortunately not many places are open at 5:30am. Disgruntally I decided to go to Denny's. That being said I was pleasantly surprised. Denny's is what it is, and you always know what you are getting. But my classic Benny was really good. Eggs were cooked perfectly, hollaindase was just right. The kitchen had even fried up the hame so it was warm and crispy - not what I was expecting. Potatoes were freshly cooked and just the right crispy. Service was prompt and friendly. I was reading my book too, so when I was done, after about 15 minutes the waiteress came by and put my bill down letting me know I was welcome to stay as long as I liked and no need to rush. Something small, but a really nice gesture. Had asked for a refill on the hot water for my tea which came promptly too. Maybe it is just because I walked in with lower expectations, but I was really impressed. So impressed that I will absolutely stop in at this Denny's again for breakfast. Thanks to the great staff and cooks for making a ridiculously early start to my day so much better. read more

Came all the way from Manitoba to visit some family, went here for a little late night bite to eat and grant was our server the other servers sat around doing nothing well grant stressed himself out and was clearly frustrated as he was taking his frustration out on all his customers, well taking our order we asked if we could subside hash browns for a poutine he immediately let out a loud angry huff and skipped our table and waited until we asked him to come over for us to get our food and bills. NEEDS NEW SERVERS THAT DO THEIR JOB!! Not servers that sit on their ass read more

Went to Denny's to start our day with quite filling breakfast while on our way to Banff. It was really close to our hotel. We ordered: Breakfast Menu: Supreme Sizzlin' skillet: Spinach, Sausage, fire-roasted bell peppers, grape tomatoes, onions and mushroom, paired with red skinned potatoes and topped with cheddar cheese and 2 eggs. Santa Fe Sizzlin' Skillet: Both the skillets were kind of same. This skillet had chorizo sausage with the same combination of seasoned and red potatoes topped with cheddar cheese and eggs. Peanut Butter Banana shake: Enjoyed each and every sip of this calorie loaded shake. Vanilla sprinkling Shake: I found this thick creamy sprinkling shake average. Rating: Ambience: 3.5/5 Taste: 4/5 Service: 4/5 (Courteous and Prompt) Value for Money: 4/5 read more

There was two of us, we sat down and had May as our server, she was lovely and was super nice to talk to! Food was great and came out fast. The whole process took maybe 20 min total from sitting to getting the food. read more

I had two hours to kill while my vehicle was being serviced and a hungry stomach to feed. My server May C was very pleasant and understanding of my need to kill time. The food was great (Philly Cheese Steak omelette) and the service, outstanding. Keep up the great work and you'll get more and more folks coming in now that we're at the end of this pandemic. read more

Great service, and great food. Went with the moon skillet and it was delicious! Thanks very much to Letty (server) for her great service! read more

When's the last time you took a late night Denny's trip sober? Never?! I'm not surprised. Nobody does that; nobody except this guy! Why on earth would I succumb to this? Well for starters, if you're looking for a spot to hang out in the area after 2am, this is it. Secondly, with Denny's at 2am you get both dinner AND a show! A very colourful, very very drunk show as put on by the other patrons. If you're in need of either of these 2 things, you fine. If not, you'll probably have better luck going anywhere else. We were straight up with out server that we were here to watch the drunk people; he showed us to our booth and said "I think you will enjoy your view from here and as you can see this booth comes equipped with a safety glass railing to keep you at a close distance while still keeping you safe. Now, if you look to your left that's the table you want to keep you eye on. Please remember to keep your hands inside the booth at all times and to not feed the animals. Leave that to us - we're trained professionals." He was so attentive and so funny the whole night I can honestly overlook how terrible my stomach felt the next morning for attempting to eat Denny's food without any alcohol in my system to soak it up. What was I thinking? Also, the Mozza sticks give me an immediate nostalgia flashback to when Denny's was my high school hang out. 2-stars for food and 4-stars for semi-disgruntled yet hilarious Denny's servers. Can't wait to come back another night after several rounds of tequila and get emotional over the crane game. read more

Don't know what is there to say about Denny's..."the only thing open past 2 am" pretty much sums it up. Everything is as expected....a plate of blah with a hint of blah...but I've been here quite often so i don;t know what that says about me lol! But lately Denny's has been the stickiest of the icky! I think Angelo T. getting a a fat slice of raw chicken burger is what sealed the deal for me. If your in dire need of late night sustenance I suggest heading down to China town or Sun's on centre street....but if your not feeling late night Asian cuisine at the moment why not whip up your own American Slam breakfast at home cause i guarantee it will outdo Denny's on the best of days! Peace brother! read more

There is really no justification for coming to eat at Denny's, other than being open 24 hours. Come late enough and you can put up with obnoxiously drunk boors shouting at each other; early enough and you can put up with screaming fat children running amok; rest of the time you can put up with creepers at the "bar" sipping on coffee and giving you the shifty eye; and through all that, you can get a combination of the bad and the worse, all for wildly inflated prices with mediocre service, and a case of the runs to boot. I have learned from Angelo's experience - when they serve you a raw chicken burger, and they recompense you with a free sundae, you are at the lowest of the low. AVOID. read more

This Denny's cant go any higher than two I am sorry it just can't. All the poor experiences keep adding up and yet I keep going back and back again. Why you might wonder? Because its open 24 hours that's the only reason Now let's talk about the positive angles of Denny's. It's cheap, it's open all the time, the service is surprisingly quick, some of their breakfast platters are decent enough and satisfy the hungry heart. That's about all the good I can muster up. The bad? Oh golly miss Molly! Well let's start with the atmosphere at about 2 30 am on a Friday night. Basically a drunk tank with all the rowdy and tasteless characters one could ask for! Doing what they do best! Being loud, obnoxious and rude, just not knowing when to stop! Now don't get me wrong I actually enjoy the circus but when the clowns only know a few tricks I get bored fast. I have seen some fights break out! the staff is well.... they do their best I can't blame them because they seem to deal with a lot of crap. I am sure they have developed a thick callous and are better at patience than most The food, well with some exceptions it's not very good. I mean definitely the burgers and fries will hit the spot when needed. The sandwhiches do the trick when your hungry. But watch out for the chicken burger! My good pal Angelo got one once and the he took a bite and it was raw in the middle! bad bad bad! I think they gave him a milkshake to compensate. Thank goodness he didn't get sick! So if your desperate for food at 2:30 am then by all means come on down! But I have learned my lesson to many times ! I hope I never come back! Seriously go to McDonald's instead! 8/30 read more

This Denny's isn't any different from any other so you know what to expect when you come. This location is always busy on the weekends so expect a 10 minute wait at least. The good thing though is they seem to pump people through fairly fast so you shouldn't have to wait too long. read more

Denny's Restaurant Macleod Trail - American Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Denny's isn't exactly the greatest place to eat in general- but sometimes it's just convenient! We made the mistake of popping by here a few months ago for some breakfast. The service was terrible, they got the order wrong and they were plain rude. We were seated at the back of the restaurant by a door and it was freezing cold so we asked to be moved to a different table (it was not even busy) and they said no at first and finally when they agreed they basically threw our menus on the table and walked away abruptly. It took forever to get our food and it was cold by the time we did. When we went up to the till to pay the girl was SO unbelievably rude. She mumbled how we would like to pay and I didn't hear her so when I said "pardon me?" she responds with "I SAID...." in a rude tone. Then she proceeded to roll her eyes at us about 12 times. We almost never go to Denny's and we still had their rewards card so we asked what we can do with it and if there is any way to claim our points since they no longer use the card. She responds with "throw that out". I once again asked, "is there any way I can claim the points that I have?" she once again responds saying "I SAID throw that out" with such attitude. At that point I got annoyed and asked to speak with the manager to which her response was "k then". Are you serious? It gets better....when the manager came she says "that girl wants to meet with you who knows why". WHAT. Instead of explaining things to me the manager rudely tells me that instead of wasting their time I should check my email for instructions. Wasting your time? Gotcha. Seriously- this place is ridiculous. The food is terrible, the service is terrible and the management is TERRIBLE. Do yourself a favour and don't go here ever. read more

Don't care what people think about this one The food is good. Great selection always hot I like the coffee Great staff--especially a man named 'Grant' he is hilarious and always provides great entertainment Sometimes the food gets on the greasy side Overall, good! read more

The best Denny's I have been to ever. The food was amazing, I had the ultimate omelet and a side of four piece of bacon. The omelet was amazing, never tried it before but is definitely a favorite. Bacon was crispy and delicious, only complaint not enough. Definitely recommend. Staff was amazing as well. read more

This Denny's used to be one of my places of choice for late-night libations. Back in the day we'd stumble on over after a late night, laugh and talk (or shout, what with the busted eardrums from the loud music) to each other over the tables and order the cheap kind of food that was patently bad for you: nachos and wings and ice-cream and most importantly grand slam breakfasts. It was open all night, so we could stay and chat as long as we liked. It wasn't classy, it was Denny's and it was perfect. I'm just trying to put my review in perspective because I had expectations. For old times sake, after a much quieter night, we headed down. It was decently late, so we caught the post-club crowd. In the light of sober, I see how obnoxious we used to be. Minus points for atmosphere. But I could have lived with that. It could've been alright. But they had made over the late-night menu so that it was both terrible and expensive. The food was never particularly good, but the combination of cheap and greasy never fails. But they had cut down on the breakfast menu, and eliminated most of the apps. I asked to cut the fries from my burger and they took off a whopping .50 cents! The waitress did warn me, but it was a pretty bad burger and IT COST ME TEN DOLLARS. Ok, if I'm in a pub or a place with gourmet burgers, or like, not Denny's, I could be alright with it. But it WAS Denny's. All of the food ordered placed firmly in the bad-mediocre range. The service was decent but a little slow, and the joint was obnoxious. We got our bills, shared a glance and agreed that we were never coming back. Goodbye my old friend, you've changed. read more

Ok, like Angelo T., I keep wonering why I walk in there from time to time. The breakfasts are passable, at late night the place is a zoo with some of the most unuusal animals of the Calgary streets, and I keep getting truly horrible service there (though admittedly one week day a few weeks back, I did get some kick ass service from this one asian server...but of course the breakfast was comped because I screamed murder about a REALLY bad night when a 1/2 empty restaurant with a full staff, and it took them over 45 minutes and me LEAVING the place to get noticed). I just can't find it in myself to want to give them another chance. Even though this Denny is literally 5 min walking distance, I'd much rather drive the 7-10 min to the Deerfoot Meadows Denny's. Look. I got way better service at the Denny's at Deerfoot Meadows, and the food admittedly is the same. If you really want your breakfast at a Denny's, go THERE. Still 24 hours, but not a zoo at night, much more relaxed and pleasant, and the late night staff there seems to be on the ball. read more

Went to your dinner for my wife's crazy love for seasoned fries, we usually get at your dinner. Last night we were very disappointed and frustrated by the lack of service, extra charges, the debt machine not working. My wife and I, were denied to speak to a manager to ask why we had an extra 2$ charge for hot sauce? We never paid that before till last night. read more

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews but for me personally it's been a good experience every time I have come to this Denny's with my husband and son. The customer service is good and we usually get our orders in a timely manner. The only thing I can comment on for improvement is the cleanliness of this location. While the place is generally clean it can be better for sure the washrooms need a little more attention and the tables should be wiped down with cleaner cloths as the tables tend to have wipe stains after they are wiped. Otherwise nice, friendly atmosphere to go for breakfast :) read more

This is one of the weakest Denny's in the city. I am not sure if It's just this location in particular, but this one certainly has started to gip out on the portion sizes. 2-3 years ago, the amount of fries that one received was generous, as was hash browns, or chunky potatoes. Not anymore. Maybe it's the recession, maybe they don't want to put prices up, but at the MacLeod Tr S Denny's the fries and hash brown portions are bordering on miserly. A handful or a little over. I hear that all the Dennys is owned by the same family (Mamood or Muhammed or some name like that) that also own all the Sandman hotels in town. I'm not sure about the veracity of that, so maybe dig a bit yourselves. If it is true, then the one owner chain in Calgary is inconsistent accross the city. The Denny's in the NW, at crowfoot is easily the best one. The one on trans canada bolted onto a Sandman is also rather weak. Sometimes they are even closed overnight! If you want basic, well done brekkie type food, then if all the Denny's start being miserly with the portions, then dare I say it, Humpty's (I know, not exactly sophisticated but it doesn't pretend to be anything else *cough* Joey Tomatoes *cough*) is still a good fallback, and if you can find one, Perkins. read more

Just keeps on going downhill, can't get an order right, takes forever to get the wrong order and is cold when you receive the wrong order.

Racist and nasty food!!! My sons and I went into this location this morning for breakfast, the general manager seated us. We were seated in the back seating area, when there were more than ample seating in the main dining area. Yes, were are African American, I found this very offensive. I did not say anything to him, because my oldest son said not to, that he is used to it. It is so sad that in 2016 we still have to live with this kind of racism, worst yet my son has become immune to this kind of treatment. As for the meal, it was really not great, we had powered/boxed eggs and boxed pancake and salty bacon, I will never, ever go back to this restaurant. read more

I go to Denny's sometimes after a night out with friends. Yvonne is the best server! She's super nice and friendly! It's so busy at 2-3am during the weekends but the service is still pretty fast. She is really on top of her game! read more

I used to go to this Denny's years ago and it was a decent place (for Denny's. Which translates to convenient for night people). Went here when I was back in town for the day and oh man, what happened? Worst Denny's I've ever been to. The waitress was so derpy, she just was clueless and did such a horrible job that she almost deserves an award for being terrible. I couldn't tell if she was just dumb or if she was deliberately being difficult. The food was bad even for Denny's low standards. It took forever, and the weird part is it wasn't even particularly busy when we were in there. Ugh, what happened Denny's? Really dropped the ball on that one, ugh. read more
