Its our go to place every weekend at 3am when all the resto are shut down. Yummy pizzas and the best varieties of desserts served here.
Denny's is in Auckland near highland park. I ordered a choice of bread and that was very nice. The ketchup was brought together, everything waa just perfect.

Very welcoming & friendly staff. Clean tidy place. Superb menu easy to read, pictures & prices clearly marked. Made it very easy to choose. Chose their BLT & my top favorite at Dennys- their Curly fries! Always enjoyed their Curly fries & perfectly done every time. Very pleased. Was offered a choice of bread & that was very nice. Courteous staff were knowledgeable & easily guided me to the best choice including drinks menu. Meal order was presented perfectly, drinks first & in a short while afterwards the lunch item arrived. Meal was at best temperature, sauces & meats we're perfectly combined. The ketchup was brought together, everything was just perfect. Very pleased to see the paper napkin was a truly generous size & not tiny at all. Bonus points to Dennys just on that minor but really important detail. The tables were neat clean & tidily arranged with menus, etc. An excellent experience to have an afternoon lunch at Dennys once again. Very good value for money, excellent Chef & staff very pleased to see you maintaining the standard so we'll. Yes the washroom was also very clean & tidy. Overall just perfect! You deserve full praise for a well maintained superbly run operation. Well done Dennys.
Polite & friendly staff. Food was above average but way better than Manukau Denny’s. As a local, I do enjoy a nice grub after a night out and this is the place to go.
Had dinner here with my partner. Great service, good family atmosphere. The sizzling chicken had alot of onions in the dish but overall was good. Big portions as well. I personally liked the sandwich the most.
The service is amazing! Every time we come here, the waitresses are lovely and very helpful. The strawberry milkshake and curly fries are also super delicious ❤
We came here Thursday night because Manukau had a ridiculously long queue. We were attended to and immediately seated by the staff. We ordered food was great and staff were friendly, apart from waiting for the steak knife for the steak was a great experience. Manager was always checking with patrons if they were ok! Awesome!
Denny’s highlands park is cool :) the staff is very friendly and responsive. As per my date their oreo shake is the best. Loved the food. The salad dressing on the other hand (not a big fan) i wont rate down a restaurant just cuz of a salad dressing though :) still a great family restaurant overall. Compliments to the chefs and the floor staff :)
I like coming here to be served its so friendly the staff. Greet u seat u and not long after take yr order bring out drinks all in a timely manner then before uno it foods on its way out they check on u ask u how's the food if you need anything else and dessert 🍰 🍧🍨🍩🍦🍮is always a treat I like it at Dennys worth the money 💵
My husband and I go to Dennys regularly for breakfast. On a weekday you can't beat $10 for the good start breakfast or the french toast (including hot drinks).The portions are large and we struggle to finish each time. The bottomless filled coffee is also great value. Service is always attentive and friendly. Decor does need a bit of an update but it's Dennys; it has been here forever and is almost an icon. You get what you pay for, you're not expecting a champagne breakfast at the Hilton when you come here. Thank you Dennys for being consistent in my books!
This is a go to place for my best friend and I. The food offers a good alternative for mc Donald's ect however it is overpriced. However their curly fries are always made perfectly, almost makes it worth the extra $2.60. I had the mushroom burger and my favourite dessert ever is their peanut butter chocolate lava! It's honestly the greatest. Moist chocolate cake with gooey peanut butter in the centre all served with a generous amount of vanilla ice cream. I could really eat this stuff everyday I love it.
However the customer service could use some work, the waitress seemed to pay more attention to her co-workers than to her customers, and her attitude spoke louder than her words, she looked very unimpressed and uninterested is the people she was serving
I Really look forward to Dinning here every Week,.... Truly I Do,...I Just wish I could Dine here Every Night,-I Love the place.,- I jump out of a Line Hual Drive,Knowing I dont have to prepare,nor clean up afterwards!...and its Soooooo Easy,with So Much Variety,the simplest eats to the Super Premo cooked Scotch or T-Bone Steak's,Super Deserts, Coffees, and Juices,- Excellent Staff Spoil Me to Pieces,...- Thank You-Reena, Joanne,- Mess
I went there with my friend. We ordered the millennium burgers and Vanilla ice cream with chocolate brownie. My friend was really liked them, for me not so much.
Denny's is a classic. I can't say it's my favourite place to go for dinner but it certainly offers a unique diner option that Auckland ever so lacks.
The star of the show however is their Hot Fudge Cake. It's a crime to visit this place and not order the aforementioned blessing.
Two moist chocolate cake pieces filled with a generous amount of classic vanilla ice cream and this sweet sandwich is drizzled with chocolate sauce. Accompanied with whipped cream and cherries, this dessert is a must do on every visit.
Ive been here a few times and I can say the food is good. Just like any other Dennys restaurant but the waiting time is quiet long too just like the Manukau Branch. Definitely would go back.
I only order the millennium burger everytime lmao
First time coming here for breakfast and it's probably a place I would go once every few months.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming, however service was a bit slow and it was not busy at all. Looking at the menu, i felt some of the meals a bit overpriced but that happens to most restaurants out there. I ordered a BLT and that comes with fries cost $10, probably a bit pricy. My mum got the $10 deal breakfast which I reckon it's worth getting and that includes a free tea/coffee, bonus 🙌
Overall it was quite good and I would be keen to come back here with some friends! I also heard good stuff about their desserts maybe I'll come again to try that out.
I've been to this Dennys quite alot of times and I keep going back as it is probably the only Dennys I like in Auckland. We are always greeted so well and seated straight away. This Dennys is very spacious and you are not sitting too close to others so you have some privacy.
The service is not to fast but when the food comes out it is hot so you knows it's freshly made. I also love Dennys selection of desserts. That is one of my most favourite meals when coming to Dennys. I definitely have a sweet tooth.
I also feel that Dennys can be a little too pricey woth some meals but that's with alot of restaurants. Overall I'm always pleased with the service here and will continue coming here whenever I'm close by.
Food (3.5/5) Service (3.5/5) Ambience (3.5/5)
This highland park Dennys is the best Dennys I've been too in Auckland! There is so much space, we get seated straight away which is great. However, waiters do come far too soon, we haven't even opened the menu yet and they're trying to take orders. There is one older man who works here that can memorise your order off the top of his head without needing a pen and paper like all other staff. The hot fudge cakes are the main reason I come. Definitely worth trying if you havent already! Food can be pricey depending what youre getting, but overall quite good! Would come back again.
Went here tonight with the girlfriend to get dessert. Awesome service - nice and quick, and the dessert was beautiful. I ordered a hot apple pie and she ordered an oreo shake. Both tasted gooood!
Best place for a late night snack/ meal/ dessert! Came here for a warm meal last night and we couldn't be happier.
Between the 4 of us we got the grand slam breakfast, curly fries, pea, pie and mash, and 2 desserts- banana fritter and choc fudge cake. The curly fries came in a huge basket! Even we struggled with it. The grand slam was good but the pancakes were an interesting addition to the rest of the savoury elements in the dish. Still good though.
That fudge cake was amazing as always. A must get dessert when you come here!
The other dishes seemed pretty good too since they were demolished quickly by my friends.
Overall, food here is always good for a late night meal and we always welcome Denny's with open arms on a cold night. The only negative is the decor, which is tacky and I'm not a big fan of their lights.
But we don't eat the decor so other than that, rock on Denny's.
First time at Denny's Highland and very impressed with the service very attentive lovely food especially the salads and moroccan lamb so succulent, will dine again!
Came on a Thursday, was relatively busy. Got a BLT about ten minutes wait. It was a good meal, chips a bit under cooked and staff weren't very attentive. But definitely not the worst meal I've had here.
Here we go... Hot fudge cake, apple pie with ice cream, curly fries, bacon bene and chilli fries...These are my top 5 favourite items from Denny's. I'm not really a big fan of the dinner mains, I mean they are okay but not worth the price as you can go somewhere a little more authentic for the same prices charged here
Pls try the hot fudge cake.. Here are some of the words that may cross your mind during each indulgent spoonful- caloric, decadent, moist, satisfying, rich, chocolatey, amazing.. :))
Always come to this Dennys as the service is great. The manager comes around every time and checks in with us and always has something to say. Food is as is, but it is not fine dining but a great meal with great service. The kiddies love it here
Dennys was quite busy then usual and the staffs were really nice and prompt but orders were misunderstood. Overall the food was great.
I'm pretty sure all the Denny's are relatively the same. Not the most extraordinary food, but yummy comfort food on those days in which you just feel like a big fat burger or something equally greasy with curly fries and dessert. The previous review is correct, it is nothing special but nevertheless still pretty tasty.
Been here quite often, service is always friendly, efficient and well mannered.
Food is what you expect from a Dennys restaurant - nothing fancy but good quality meals for what you pay for. Also good size servings (the pancakes are huge!).
Only thing keeping this back is the decor is quite dated - a bit of peeling wallpaper here and there.
Our family went to Denny's last night for dinner, and we found it was great! We were shown to our table with a smile asked if we wanted to order drinks so we did that came within 10 mins. Our food arrived bout 20 mins after that nice and hot, the meal was great the kids had a good time, waiter had a smile, so they were really friendly. We also ordered desert and that took bout 30 mins but that wasn't to bad the deserts were good so we got to Denny's at 20:00 and was out of there by 21:20 so I think everything was good! The only thing that I didn't like was they do take their time picking the dishes up and we ended up putting them on other table and then they would pick them. So apart from that our family was very happy with Denny's and are looking forward to going again!!!!!!!!
Since it's right next door to head office, I strongly suspect that the staff at Highland Park need to keep their wits about them in order to avoid being torn a new one by Denny's mean, moronic, managers (there were at least three in residence during my meal). On the day of my visit, everything seemed to be going well; I was lucky enough to avoid the lunch rush and still be in time to sample the roast of the day.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and managed to understand my request for no cheese sauce as meaning just that; no more, no less. The soup was warm and filling, and the roast was lovely, although I will say that all Denny's restaurants need to do something to make their peas softer. They should not have the same texture as unpopped corn kernels.
If I'm ever in the Highland Park/Pakuranga area again, I'll keep Denny's Highland Park in mind.
Had dinner with extended family from out of town on Saturday evening.Fantasic night had by everyone.Lovely setting,friendly staff,very good food and didnt have to wait long for food to arrive.Will definately be going back again.Great value for money.Well done.
I have been to this restaurant many times and must say that I have never been disappointed with the food. Once we did try different foods on the menu and even though it wasn't to our taste buds, the food arrived in good time, the waitress kept us up to date on how long the food was going to take and when it did arrive, it looked and tasted good. Although at times there is a waiting time for the food to arrive, if you did the staff to customer ratio, you would notice that there isn't that many staff on certain days hence the waiting time. If they could tidy this up, this restaurant would definitely be one of the best in Auckland!
Good on you Denny's, the menu is FANTASTIC!

My family and I often visit Denny's as an economical place to eat (for breakfast mainly). We have visited most of the places in Auckland, and I can't help but mention the only one we've ever returned to (frequently) is the Highland Park branch. We've had nothing but great service there - the staff were pleasant (not outragously friendly) but were fine to deal with. We were placed in a lovely clean area near the window and got our breakfasts in super quick time. We've also recently noticed that the meals have been of an excellent standard of late... the french toast was so fluffy and light as well as lovely & hot (pet-peeve luke warm food) so it's nice when the meal delivered is hot. I must say though, on several occasions we've visited, I feel very sorry for some of the staff having to put up with some of the rude customers that can't even seem to manage a 'please' or thank you' or the ability to order in a pleasant tone themselves - so I suppose (after reading some of the previous reviews) it goes both ways for good customer service.
They are always good for breakfast but would never go there for anything else, well maybe a burger, they are good too.
Every time I visit I order the Superbird Sandwich (Bacon, Turkey, Tomato, Cheese) with Fries. You can’t beat it. The restaurant is tired, but the food quality is still good.
It's ain't fine dining but it ain't kaka, very middle of the road. Probably a bit more expensive than it deserves to be but I've been to fancier places that have had worse food and service so 🤷🏾♂️
Read the reviews before coming and most said hit and miss so decided to go anyway since we were hungry and wanted something more than the usual. Our drinks came out first, followed by our food. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Ordered the satay chicken on rice, snapper & chips with Buffalo chicken. Satay chicken had lots of flavor, especially the sauce. Snapper was so fresh and tender. Great portion of golden crunchy chips. Dessert hit the spot fullfilling our chocolate and ice cream desires.
Huge portion at an affordable price. Great services. Highly Recommend
Seniors menu is good value, good quality, and tasty. My steak was nicely done and tender . $27 not bad for a good meal. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We will be back!
We visited one night for desserts, we were a large group of 15 people and the staff were quick to seat us on a large table fit for us. Went in for the classic hot fudge cake like old times… staff were prompt and got the desserts in a timely manner. The hot fudge cake was so yum 😋
Dessert was amazing~ Satay chicken, snapper and chips were great~ the Buffalo wings needed more spicy sauce to add flavour to compliment the sour cream other than that WAY BETTER THAN MANUKAU DENNYS! Staff was available to cater and best to go around 8.30pm
Love the Beef T-Bone Steak. Other dishes are great.
Highly organised place. The staff here sail through happily even when hit by a tsunami of customers on a Friday evening.
After a terrible experience at the Manukau branch it was refreshing to have a pleasant meal at the Highland Park restaurant. The staff were lovely and the food came out quickly but freshly cooked. Food quality isn’t great but not terrible either. A good meal when you just crave breakfast in the afternoon.
Haven't been to Denny's in years, but the kids really wanted some dessert after dinner. Came at 8pm on a Friday, waited 7 mins to be acknowledged and seated. The restaurant was fairly busy, so I was dreading the long wait for my dessert. Luckily it came 10 mins after ordering. The welcoming service is lacking
Excellent customer service. Delicious food , better than other outlets. Seats could be more spacious.
At the time we went it was quiet, which is probably the norm.
The burger was bigger than I thought so I was wrapped, plus the curly fries are really good.
