We came here during a really busy night the other week, every table was packed. But we really appreciated that our waitress (I believe her name was Lucy?) worked really hard and seemed to be doing about 30 things at once!! We got our desserts fairly quickly despite how busy it was, and it was yum!
The best curly fries in Auckland and pretty cheap for the portion size as well. Their portions are huge and their dessert menu is pretty good. Not a big fan of their vegetarian mains.
Loved the dessert.....yum. We went at 3am its open 24 hours good crowd and amazing place to hangout.
Visited Denny's with a work colleague for lunch. Nice atmosphere nice food and friendly waitress. The seating was comfortable with a lovely city view out the window. Reasonable price too. Will come back again for sure.
We went here for breakfast, and it was actually really good. Had bacon and eggs with a hash brown. Generous serving size. The hash browns are the flat type (not the compressed slab type), and they were made just right. The coffee was good too. It’s got that American diner vibe, but with a Kiwi touch. The staff seemed a bit over it, but I probably would be too!
This place was very pleasant to eat at, the staff were nice and kind and the food was so delicious. Served piping hot and huge portion for the prices
Another feed after a night out!
It was surprisingly good for the low expectations I had. The bangers and mash were good and the cheese toastie had heaps of cheese where the cheese was oozing out.
The lady that served us was nice and I honestly don’t know why this place has such a bad rating:(
It’s Denny’s not a fancy restaurant and I think they serve pretty good comfort food for what it is!

This Denny’s been here for like forever!! Good late night eatery in the CBD. Personally we don’t have any complaints about their food or service yet, touch wood. Its diner kinda food, so dont expect top notch service. They do loyalty points as well and have underground carpark. We usually order their chicken wings, surf&turf and curly fries.
Nice little booths! I'm always attracted by the breakfast menus but I decided to try a meat lovers skillet, the curly fries as always and a banana split! The portion was really big as per usual! A bit too much cream on the banana split but had several hearty scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice scream! The skillet had roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese and little cut bits of bacon and sausage. Although they weren't amazingly seasoned, they were still hearty pieces of meat goodness which I appreciate. The curly fries are always a winner for me though! Denny's will always be my go to for a meal when I'm looking to eat my heart out and not wanna risk getting a tiny expensive meal.
Not sure why this place has such a low rating. I think people’s expectations are too high when it comes to a 24/7 diner 😂 They have a high turnover of waitpersons so it’s best to be direct with what you want, where you want to sit etc. because chances are, the person serving you is new. Their food fills you up, tastes alright, however the main meals do cost a bit too much. I normally just settle for a burger or toasted sandwich. I highly recommend the salted caramel banana pancakes they are really good 👍🏼 will always visit dennys for a late night feed, love the chill/quiet/unsnobby atmosphere - which is rare to find in the city.
Came here and had chocolate mud cakes for dessert one night. Thoroughly enjoyed the dessert and found the service and cleanliness of the restaurant to be good. Would recommend it as a good omace for dessert.
Our expert was good, service from friend staff who took our order was great. Because we wanted our food to come out altogether waiting time wasn’t too long which was good. Friendly staff members apart from a certain someone, However we enjoyed our meal & service.
I really like the burgers here. They’re not oily, and the mushroom burger comes with nice crispy vegetables. The chips were also light, not oily. The pizza crusts are light, and we asked for cheese on top. The cheese was a generous amount, and I liked it a lot, it also came with a good amount of mushrooms. You also get an option to make your own pizza.
We tried 9$ lunch menu and butter&bread pudding, the butter bread pudding was amazing and the rest of the food was ok. Their services were great too :)
Will come agian
Unlimited brewed coffee is one of my favorites! I always order the pancake & bacon breakfast meal and never able to finish it since the serving is huge. Pancake taste is 6/10. The top seller for me though is the curly fries and its dipping sauce and of course the hot fudge cake!

The place is equipped with very friendly staffs, and the best thing I had there was the hot chocolate fudge, must try it! And also the millennium burger 😋😋 pretty good ambience as well..😊
I like that this place has some form of parking but if you have never been to the parking before you may get lost and confused. It is a small walk from the restaurant but no problems at all.
First impressions were that it was nice and clean and plenty of seating to chose from even though it was quite busy. We did arrive at about 10pm so be aware that this place is busy all day at any time. The waitress was very polite and straight to the point which I liked.
The food was good, you get what you pay for amd the portion size is huge. It also came out hot and fast.
Ordered the pork chop, chicken stirfry and a breakfast.
Curly Fries - highly recommended!
I had the Vegetarian Breakfast, it was good. Husband had the Chicken Fajitas and said it was okay!
Their dessert menu was tempting but we were already full with the food we ordered so didn't have anything. But I am looking forward to try something from it next time I go there.
The service was alright and I like that they are open 24 hours!
Gotta love a good 4am dennys run after a night in town. First time having the hot fudge cake and it was revolutionary honestly so yummy and curly fries were so good too
My first time back in months, lovely staff, casually Dennys, nothing has changed. Menu has been updated just a bit which was nice to see. Wasn't busy the night that we went, which made waiting time for food a lot less. Ordered a Cobb Salad which was new and was absolutely yummy, left full for the first time and not feeling yuck full lol
Was apprehensive initially given the reviews but recommended by mates and must say the burger and curly fries was amazing. 10/ 10, thanks Denny's

Loved the bacon pancakes with ice cream and extra bacon!!!! Cant wait to come back again. Amazing service as always. Love how its relaxing atmosphere and can enjoy a nice meal with friends.
Their hot fudge is the best😍 do try the hot fudge as well as the chocolate lava. Dennys have the best desserts and their pizza is obviously a hoot.
I like that they open 24 hrs and that they have tabasco sauce available even for a takeaway :) good to try if you're sick of other franchise fast food joints
Nothing ordinary though with my breakfast. Pancakes were fluffy and soft. Just the right amount of texture and thickness. It was served hot and fresh off of the pan. With that, my breakfast was amazing!
The customer ratings (between 1 and 5 stars) here on Zomato made us curious, so we had dinner there on Wednesday evening and gave it a try. We ordered Garlic Bread, Bangers and Mash, Pork Loin Steak and Hot Fudge Cake. The service was friendly, the atmosphere is okay, the food was okay too. We didn't like the thick dark instant gravy but apart from that, the meals were quite satisfying. It's not a restaurant we would like to visit three times a week but for to pop in once in a while it's a nice variety.
The food were very pricey considering. We loved the curly price. My friends go here for their fries.
The staff were friendly and accommodating.
The ambience is wonderful like what these chains are expected of.
Late night sweet fix. Gooey chocolate fudge cake with ice cream. So good when the Aussies come over they go looking for it. My Aussies that it ;-) great for anyone with pregnancy cravings I'm sure!
Denny's is always a reliable place to get some good food, it might not be the best looking place to walk into but the food is good and its 24 hours which is handy.

Been here few times after leaving from work at 4 am morning the bset part about Denny's is its open 24/7 and serves big portion of american food. Food was ok.. Staff was friendly. Ordered burger it was good and tasty came with a large portion of fries overall it was worth for a money and it was a good experience .
Great service and restaurant very clean/tidy as well
Ordered Millennium burger which was good,fries with that were nice and crispy
Curly fries were delicious..
Hot Fudge cake was a great end to a great night 😊
The was so great I bought more than I should have. The burgers were and so was the pizza. Wouldn't mind coming back for another time with some friends.
Is okay. Dont like their steamed veges! Sort of gross. I love the buffallo wings and satay chicken. Also the molten mud pudding is delicious. The strawberry milkshake too sweet. Fanta float is awsome. Curly fries rock. Nachos yummy
Danny's doesn't offer that much in terms of variation but the food is nice enough. I often get an Oreo Shake cause those are soooo yum. I've ordered a variety of things but their fries of all sorts are pretty much always good. Pizzas are nice and the burger I last ordered was pretty good! They have nice desserts too! Restaurant is huge so often we come here just because it's convenient
There was a lovely boy starting with A i think. He seemed like he was learning the ropes but his customer service skills were great. Impeccable smile and polite manner will definitely come back for that.
The food was good. I loved the wings and almost all the apps we ordered. Staff were nice but they took quite awhile to serve us our food. Overall still a good experience.
We went here to eat dinner because we were so hungry and we were at sky city so might as well. We celebrated my friend's birthday and got her the free meal for our dinner. The food was really good. Service was average.
Been there late night as its 24 hours open. Nice and well organized inside. Food taste was good. Service good. Parking is a issue here. They have space back little bit ahead.
Evening stop over after a concert. Ordered the breakfast menu, pizza bread to share was delicious. My two buddies went hard out with other delicious food from the menu. Atmosphere was kool, at ease and good amount of people. Apple pie is to die for, love it
Food was good. Service was good. Waiting time was okay for the amount of people there at the time. Staff was kind and took all orders correctly.
Went there with the families after 11pm.it was a good experience...food was ok .their service was good overall not a bad place to dine in or lunch
Best place for cheap eats, any time of the day or night! The food quality is fitting for what you pay for and the serving sizes are very generous! Hot fudge cake is my most highly recommended 😋
Even with Denny's reputation, we've always had a decent feed and pretty good service. The food is nothing spectacular but if you stick to desserts or sides you can't go wrong. Good for a late night lounge and somewhere to sit. You can enjoy a coffee or hot drink here till the early mornings without having to go to a bar.
This Denny's has a lot of seating room so even though there's not much ambience, you can get a bit of privacy and space while you dine.
Been there after exam with friends to celebrate, their service is really nice, friendly staff and good presentation of food with fast delivery to table after being ordered
Denny's is a great place to go in the middle of the night or when you're drunk.
It's a 24 hour diner so you can't set really high standards. But for the food and time they're available you can't be upset.
The prices are a bit too high imo but damn that macaroon brownie THO.
I must say i have just finshed my break fast in demmy's auckland seriously the quality and quantity of food is mind blowing the space and place is very nice and comfortable the thing which i like the most that it is open 24x7 and the staff is well mannerd and properly trained.... cheers...!! Would like to visit again and again ...!!!
Went with my partner yesterday, just to have a late lunch before shopping... And it both made us real full. Good service and great food. Food was served fast and properly.
This is probably the best dennys in auckland. The service was amazing they always checked on me. Parking was a bit of a mission as you had to go down this driveway and were unsure of how to operate the gates. The food came out in record time only 10mins and it was so good. For the first time I was happy with my meal.
Denny's is American styled cafe which also offers Asian and Italian dishes. Denny's is 24 hours operating cafe, good place to have late night eats. Location is very convenient and easy to find, which is just opposite to sky city building. Food is very tasty and also the desserts. I have tried almost all their deserts. Price of the food is very reasonable. If you think of late night eats with your friends, then this is the place to look out for.

You know those times when you crave for certain dishes and make sure you remember spots for an instant fix? Danny's is my place for pancakes, chicken stir fry and awesome, rich hot chocolate. Period!

Imagine hubby Harold and mine surprise to find that Denny's had finally opened a location in New Zealand!
After my husband nearly scratched the corolla, claiming "that's what bumpers are for" the morning was not off to a great start.
Arriving at reception only to be told we needed to go back out the building across the road and down back into someone else's basement to leave a Denny's docket on the dashboard (I made hubby do it, it was rather windy and he is a good sort when it comes to these things) my expectations for anything resembling a good review were remarkably low.
First up was the all American filter coffee. We were pleasantly surprised to find an authenticity in the luke warm watery brown beverage it instantly transported us back to our 1987 "road trip" through the Nevada desert where we enjoyed a grand slam or two and drank our weight in coffee.
The service was average but the food came out quickly.
Hubby and I both selected the budget breakfast which consisted of hash browns (excellent "American style" (shaved potato)) scrambled eggs (a little too realistic, not the powdered version we recalled from the good old U S of A but they did get the rubbery texture bang on!) and toast with grape "jelly" (American for jam).
We also ordered French toast to share. This wasn't as thickly sliced as we recalled. Hubby and I debated at length as to how they achieved such perfection in those spherical little globes of butter. We do like to share. There were no Spaghetti moments as such but watching Harold, a glint in his eye, lovingly drizzle Syrup all down that toast sure did build anticipation for the delights my mouth was about to receive. The toast was not excellent, but did the trick.
The free refills of coffee were a pleasant surprise and topped off what all in all can only be described as a pleasant nostalgic trip down memory lane.
We shall definitely return.
I have been a regular customer of Denny's for the past years. During my visits, the customer services and food has been not up to par. But recently staff and management has changed and the food and service has come up again, lots of friendly helpful staff. I hope that Denny's continue this way.
Have been there several times now.
It's great for somewhere to go, the food is reasonably priced and the staff are friendly enough.
The food is not too bad for the price that you pay.
It's a place that I will continue to go.
I've been to Denny's Hobson Street a few times now, and I have to say it's my favourite of the Auckland Denny's. The staff are polite and friendly - although there's still some room for improvement, but not much - and the food is well-prepared.
It's nice to see Denny's staff who can actually speak English; the one time fluency in our country's default language was a problem turned out to be our waitress' first day on the job. Mark and Pam seem like good managers with their heads on their shoulders and I look forward to visiting again.
Dennys Auckland CBD, well, me and my friends used it a lot, it's a cool place, it's bigger than some Dennys, the food is better than most Dennys, and some of the staff are cool.
This Dennys has a Dennys feel about it, and it probably has one of the best locations of a Dennys I have been to.
I've never felt it was a bad place, the service I got was good, and sometimes better than what I expected. it's 24 hours which is always good in the CBD, and I managed to get some Canadian "Poutine" fries there, a lot more than once.
Went on my birthday in March 2011, and it was awesome.
I like it, and I miss 24hrs Dennys since there are none here in Wellington.
Dennys Auckland CBD is a good Dennys from my experiences with them.
Went for breakfast very affordable, not particularly exquisite food, just a good hearty breakfast with everything you'd expect and free coffee and refills would eat here again for sure
Great place for brunch! Not amazing but good; the service was nice the only time I`ve been there and the food was decent at a decent price as well. Not fancy dining but good for comfort food.
This is hands-down the best Denny's. We're possibly talking worldwide here, as even in America, nothing could compare to this CBD chain store (IHOP is the only way to go in the US).
You gotta order it: Garlic bread, curly fries with aioli, add curly fries to any combo for $2, eggs benedict, cheese toastie, did I say garlic bread?
You gotta order it (dessert edition): Raspberry soda pop, Hot Fudge Cake
The prices are right, and the staff are pretty good. The only downside is that you can't order from the children's menu, and that really grinds my gears.
If you missed the Hobbit special menu....you missed out on something special, wow. Never mind! Just order something else. It's all good!
Bonus: The bathroom is big and clean, two of my favourite things in a bathroom.

Denny's is one of my all-time favorite places to eat with family. I love their American decor and diner-style layout. The seating is divided into booths with leather seats on either side of a table, rather than the standard table with 2 to 4 chairs (although the latter is available for peak periods).
The menu offers a variety of cuisines; from sandwiches, burgers, omelettes and fries to your authentic Indian, Thai, Malaysian, and other international dishes. My favorite meal is the Chicken Melt, followed by the Omelette with chicken fajitas. What I really enjoy about Dennys is the fact that they offer you a bottle of ketchup (Heinz, yum!) when you order fries. I must also mention the collection of desserts that are available at Dennys - lava cake, brownies, strawberry cheesecake, ice cream sundaes, and the list goes on. Try their Oreo Shake/Sundae; you wont find it anywhere else in New Zealand!
Dennys stores are open late daily, so if you are craving a late night snack, this is the place for it :)
There Alot of mixed reviews seen on here. Don't be expecting a fine dine experience. But you get what you pay for. With all the inflated prices around us I was pleased with what I got. It's more of a down to earth feel eating here, nothing extravagant but a hearty meal.
As always with Denny’s the food is on the pricey side but it’s a good once in a while restaurant to go to. The food was quite nice to have, I especially enjoyed the curly fries. I reckon the burger could have been a little better but not as bad as some others have been. The oreo milkshake, as always, is to die for and is well worth the $9 you have to pay for it. Great atmosphere, and great for the family (it is a family restaurant after all). However I will say it is a little difficult to get to by car, you have to make sure you are in the right most lane to not miss the turn off into the parking. I believe it’s free parking as long as you eat at Denny’s. We just parked a little further away and walked which was easier for us.
Came for breakfast. Honestly these meals are huge. You get value for money here. We took home alot of left overs and containers are easily accessible for customers.
We were promptly seated and given a nice booth. Our order was taken quickly and food arrived with no delays. Its quite busy here and I think that's really great. It's quite tired looking decor but is made up by easy parking great friendly staff and good food. Smoothies and milkshakes were YUM!
Best burger trending for me a little on the pricey side being $26 but it's well worth imo. And waffles are to die for!
It's good for a Denny's. My deep-fried snapper was full of scales though, which was a bit yuck. The food is a bit inconsistent in quality
Food was good. The curry served was indian curry. I got a shock when my fish and chips was served. The portion was big. Service was good though we waited quite a while for our food to be served. Family restaurant.
Like the other reviews here, I do think Denny's could use more staff. While the entrance (by the stairs) kind of smells like urine, and the quality of the food isn't amazing, I do think the portions are massive and you get free refillable coffees (I had 3, no regrets) with a breakfast item. Strangely enough, for whatever reason, I do enjoy coming here. It's quiet, open late night and the FOH staff are friendly. There's something about Denny's.
Nothing flash but relaxed atmosphere, lovely waitress. Food was average, as expected.
The food was tee-lee-zious 😋 Service was on point. Friendly staff. The only negative thing about my visit was the carpark (underground carpark) omg it was nek level STINK i ended up wit a super bad migrane the second we left the carpark coz of the smell. Pls team, someone needs to get down there and clean that damn carpark.
Treated my girls to late Dennys dinner and they were not disappointed. Our waiter was lovely and the food was good. Also the toilets were so clean and my youngest said they smelt good lol. was a great end to our great day out in the city.
Food was great - serving sizes are quite big. Service staff were very friendly :-)
All their dishes are good and well priced for 24x7 restaurant. Typical American ambience.. I like it. Pan cakes and those poached veggies are awesome.. but the meats are just cooked so well it doesn't taste commercial. Post drinks, always my go to place. Thanks guys 😊
It’s been about 3 years since my last visit to Denny’s in Auckland CBD. It definitely wasn’t known back then for their service but came through tonight and noticed a massive change. The customer service was exceptional! Friendly waitresses, Fast delivery of food, tables were cleared quickly and the waitresses would check in regularly. Keep it up!
This place is amazing.
You can drop by and order from an absolutely huge menu any time day or night.
Generous portions at reasonable prices.
Friendly service, roomy, comfy couches, beautiful view of sky tower.
Convenient late at night after gym.
Personal favourite is Millenium Burger, been getting it for over 15 years.
