Loved the service tonight!!! Management was great, service was to our liking, atmosphere was balanced between leaving the house and not...LoL after lockdown it was sooooooo right!! Shared a beautiful meal with friends, food was hot, fresh, on time and delicious 😋
Because it’s Samoa 🇼🇸 language week.... Fa’afetai fa’afetai lava 👌🏽
The quality of the food here really is more than you’re money’s worth. Service was great, food came quite quickly and staff were attentive. Enjoyed everything I ate, and will most definitely be back.
Best things: breakfast menu, milkshakes, dessert menu and curly fries.
Got the French slam which had yummy sausages, bacon and eggs but the French toast was dry and stale even with the maple syrup. The buffalo wings with sour cream and sweet chili sauce are pricier but a really good portion. First few bites were nice but after a while the sweet chili becomes too overwhelming. Curly fries are the best for $7.50 and massive, be prepared for a takeaway box. And the milkshakes are so creamy, thick and yummy. Generous amounts of ice creams used, never watered down!
Staff were INCREDIBLY nice and prompt. Great conversation and they looked like hard workers. Food was lovely as well. This place is recommended🌟🌟
Love Denny's wairau valley since school days, open 24 hours and you can order anything anytime except alcohol. A great choice if you just want a low key,quick family breakie,lunch or dinner. One of my favs for sure

I can see there are lots of bad reviews with this Denny’s but ‘touch-wood’ our experiences have always been a positive one. We are always seated immediately, food served as ordered and the family is a happy-tummy. This place offers a free meal on your birthday and also open late which is quite a rarity. Food is great value, big portions. Their curly fries is massive and it’s only $7. I think if you don’t expect too much, you would be surprised.
Was there tonight for a catch up with friends. Was not that busy, but the waitress is really in the job, checked our table 3 times during our stay for 1 hour around. The new Berry Smoothie is really yummy and my friend tried the Hot Fudge Cake, really good. Liked it. Place is very clean and relax feel. Sad we came early and didn't get their buy 3 burger get 1 burger free deal after 8pm. Maybe try next time. Thank you!
I and my children spent a lovely time in Denny's during school holidays. We enjoyed the environment. It was fresh, clean and tidy. The staff representatives were very polite and friendly. The pizzas were amazing, and the kids really liked them. We highly appreciate the staff's attention and the professional service provided as well as the delicious food. Undoubtedly, I would visit Denny's again with my family :)
Much better than Dennys in Manukau, menu almost identical but Wairau Valley has a few different options to choose from, meals came out quickly, staff were polite, store was clean & tidy, nice location too, ask for a window seat & you can watch the swans & ducks while you wait, I'd recommend the seasoned wedges with bacon & sour cream, big serving size & enough for 2 people.
Came for dessert.
Was clean and quite busy which is a good way to start!
Ordered a macaroon brownie and soda pop.
The soda pop wasn’t great, the macaroon brownie came swimming in sauce and had a really weird texture to it.
Will probably stick to a choc fudge brownie next time.
Good food but not open 24/7. Nice place to come. Staffs was ok. I love the way they made with potatoes. Prices maybe a little higher with the qualities.
Fantastic family restaurant we got the hot fudge brownie, Lovely service and always great food. Waitress Veronika was amazing!! Such a homely feel.
Went there with my mates as my mate and I had never been before so expectation in the middle was a bit of a wait but it's usual when it's busy. Food was pretty good and desert was as well :)
Depending on what you order, some of their food can be quite hit and miss. A rare steak will be a medium and sometimes the price can be a little high. But they do have really good service, friendly staff and a lovely view out over the lake if you can manage to get a booth next to the window. I'd highly recommend their honey chicken, absolutely delicious every time I've ordered it.
Appalled to see so many bad reviews for this place. really ?
I've been here over 30 times whilst living in NZ and have never had a bad experience!
The menu is varied and has plenty to chose, they mix a great Whiskey and coke, and they have the BEST deserts menu in the country. We've gone in just for desert at random hours of the day many times. 24/7 access to pancakes and cream? yes please.
Lots of people complain about the service, mainly racist people with really bigoted opinions of people.
The staff here have done an excellent job bringing our food, busy or not. they have Never mixed up an order (and given the 100+ orders my friends and family have made here that's impressive.)
I personally order the lamb shanks, grand slam or one of the burgers when i go, often too full for desert due to meal size and taste, but if i could squeeze one in it would be lava cakes, or chocolate brownie.
Don't be fooled, this place is cheap in price only.
The spicy chicken was not spicy which caught me off guard a little because on the menu it says it's spicy. The chocolate mousse looked out of this world. Literally

For a Denneys this one is not too bad. The service is excellent and if you are craving American style food this is probably as good as it gets on the North Shore
Argh Denny's cheap n cheerful but can't quite replace Cob n Co, got good service from the staff but the older lady who takes your money well she could do with some hospitality training but she probably owns it. Decor a bit shabby but who cares when your hungry right.
A good ol Dennys breakfast is just what you need on a Sunday morning. This Dennys has delicious smoothies and yummy fast food breakfasts. It is very basic, but sometimes basic is great!

A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!! Went to Denny's North Shore last night to celebrate Father's Day with hubby & our 3 teenage sons, although it was busy as you can imagine...after waiting maybe 5mins we were seated at our table. We found the total experience from start to finish excellent & an enjoyable night to remember. Our waitress was attentive & patient as we all took a little while to make up our minds from an absolute delicious & variety in menu. I went with the Nasi Goreng (like a light fried rice dish with shrimp & chicken) gorgeous! Hubby had the Salmon Dinner- the Salmon was cooked to perfection & also a lovely shrimp cocktail. Sons 1. a Fettucine Bolongaise & a BLT- both of which looked & he said tasted great! must have been there was nothing left behind on those plates Lol..Son 2. had the Millenium Burger& fries which looked & again must've tasted great! Son 3. had the Chicken Curry which came with side salad/rice & a really yummy chrsipy bread which complimented well, oh & plus a chicken burger, which again looked amazing. We also had the curly fries & the Sampler- plate of crumbed deep fried chicken/seafood/onion rings/wedges, all the food was excellent & served hot & all within the same time with another waiters assistance which was amazing!!!Yes! we kinda went all out on this visit & it was so worth it..there was extra food left over from our side orders which we were able to take home and given food containers a plastic bag to take them in. 2 Deserts- Hot Fudge Cake & the Pancake Mone both left the boys with even bigger smiles on their dials Lol. A tip was given to our waitress when we left, we were so happy with our service from all staff involved on this evening. This was our first time dining out at Denny's apart from an early morning visit to the Manukau branch with my hubby after a big night out on the town, around 19yrs ago when we were visiting from Wgtn. We used vouchers as partial payment on this visit received from hubby's employer, no problems there, I did let the waitress know about this before we dined. 5 Stars..Cheers Denny's NS thanks for the great & enjoyable evening!!! : ))
We go to Denny's regularly for dessert. We always order the hot fudge cake, and I get the choc brownie thing with peanut butter in the middle. Their desserts are consistent and good, for a cheap dessert.
Can't comment on their food, as we never eat here other than dessert, but too be honest probably won't ever eat a meal here.
Went to Dennys North Shore on Valentines Day for dinner. Wow, it was super busy, and after only a 10 minute wait we were seated.
The only sour note was the lack of a fork for myself, and no help from the wait staff.
The food was excellent, the service, apart from that one hiccup, was awesome, and we had a great night.
On Saturday night 28/06/14 I went with my family to Denny's for the first time, it was really busy, the food was a bit late but it was cooked well and tasted very nice. My son was being naughty due to the time we had to wait but a lady which appeared to be the manager brought over a activity sheet with a pencil to keep him busy, she also asked if we wanted the kids meal first which was excellent! When I went to pay our bill, I offered a $10 tip to her for her excellent customer service but she refused to take it and she said the best tip you can give me is if you come back to our restaurant again. I promised her I will return with my family again.......Excellent customer service and I would highly recommend this restaurant to every one - 5 Star service -

We went there for dessert and chips and had a lovely time. It was quiet enough to have a good catch-up, yet it was quite busy as well. We were seated quickly. Our server was helpful. The restaurant is located at the bottom of Wairau Park and includes lots of parking, which is handy. When looking out the huge windows, we looked out onto a duck pond.
They've had a rough ride these last few months with low staff numbers, so service has often been slow and queues long. However, staff cannot be faulted for their care of diners. We visit often as they have the variety to support a picky family's eating requests and to support local. They never fault in greeting us, taking care of our needs and asking for feedback at the end. Although the pricing seems to have increased, this is usual for most businesses nowadays and I cannot fault their food either. We went again yesterday and was happy to see the Birthday Meal Deal still offered - yay!! Keep up the great work Denny's - you're 5star in my book! Sorry no photos, food doesn't last long enough in front of my gob - maybe next time!.. LOL
Can we take a moment to check out the huge size of the pork ribs for $35. I mean its huge compared to a few more places. They have the best food and the quantity is fare according to a person.
Dont forget to try their milkshakes and desserts.
Got a pretty basic ambience with ling tables and a poolside view. Staff is friendly and nice to communicate with.
A definite to go
Nice and good there. Parking is a problem there. As the car yard next door is taking over all available parking. And the car yard has very very big cars. I came out and found my car was blocked in by another car. It was parked mm meters away from me. I had to go to the car yard to ask them to move thier car.
It is not easy to park there now
Been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kids absolutely love it. I always have the salmon skillet. Desserts are great. It's a low key place, easy going.
For the price vs amount of food and being open at all hours, the restaurant is pretty standout. Only reason I give a 4 on food and service was my waiter couldn't answer/didn't understand my question about the size of the nuggets or burger I asked about. The manager and chef made up for it with politeness and a warm goodbye.
It's my first time to visit Denny's family restaurant. I was attracted by the ad on the roadside that $9 special lunch Monday to Friday.
I have the BLT with curly fries and its wonderful. Fresh ingredients with yummy sauce. I personally don't like the fries but I'm sure other may love it.
Banana smoothes is wonderful too.
Staff are very friendly.
Very good environment, next to the pond.
Saturday 4pm. Partner and I rocked up hungry as. Despite being sceptical from our last experience eating here about year ago. we decided to give it another chance.
Customer service was excellent, warmly greeted and seated as soon as we arrived, by friendly female staff. didn't have to wait long for order to be taken.
Food came out hot and almost correct. Staff apologized and bring out the missing egg from my premium burger. Didn't mind, glad they were transparent and communicated this with me.
Curly fries were cooked to perfection, golden, crispy n crunchy. partner ordered the chicken Melt which was crunchy, tasty an delicious.
Atmosphere was a little cold,. Could either turn ac off or up as it's already cold an was making customers cough n sneeze.
We enjoyed our food and our dining experience. I would recommend this Denny's for anyone looking for a nice hot delicious burger or toastie,
who knows we could potentially be back for another meal.
Denny’s food is my absolute favourite. The burgers are nice and juicy. Their curlie fries are full of flavours and the texture is bang on for me. For all chocolate lovers, I strongly recommend their hot chocolate fudge cake and sticky toffee pudding! Service, ambiance and hygiene is very professional.
I've been going to Dennys in Wairau Road since about the age of 3.
The restaurant itself although it has been updated since then needs another overhaul but if you want middle of the road good tucker then this is your place.
Came here for my birthday and the meat was rather tough, not a happy evening 😒
Tried a Veggie burger and My Colleague had a lamb burger🍔enjoyed with crispy fries🍟so overall good meal for us☺️☺️
Favourite restaurant ever, been coming since i was a child. My go to order is their fettuccine carbonara and macaroon brownie for dessert, I 100% recommend.
fast efficient friendly service food cooked perfectly....lovely waitress we all enjoyed our meals thank you dennys wairau park.
