denny's

denny’s has been one of our family’s go-to restaurants in our weekday dinner as it is just a few blocks away from work and so far, i’ve been checking each item off of their menu.

the beef tapa had the right mix of salty with a littlebitof sour, the pork belly was soft with its fat that is so flavorful, and the crispy bangus belly marinated just enough to enhance the flavor of the fish partnered with their special vinegar was my idea of the perfect breakfast, all balanced with the freshness of their salsa. they also have their version of a dry but flavorful adobo. my tummy and my heart is filled.

as a caldereta lover, i tried their saucy beef caldereta. it’s not my typical kind which is a thick stew mainly with tomato sauce, liver spread, and some source of heat. the sauce of their caldereta was flowy, had some spice, and only little tomato taste. nevertheless, it was a unique experience.

they also wings and we tried their italian parmesan and buffalo wings. the italian parmesan made me kinda sneezy because of its powdery spiced batter while the buffalo wings had just a littlebitof heat and tanginess.

other items that we already checked off their menu are their chicken apple cranberry salad, lumberjack slam, chocolate lava cake, denny's share four all, salisbury steak skillet, eggplant extravaganza, pork adobo, good morning omelette, beef nachos, and grilled pork chop and egg.

we ordered the pork belly with eggs , but asked the eggs to be served on the side due to allergies, and it tasted good. the marinate is spot on and tastes exactly like a flavorful filipino barbecue. the salsa it came with was lacking but it’s quite understandable since it’s not really supposed to be part of the dish. the serving portion is big, really worth the money.

we also got the saucy beef caldereta, it was great! the meat was so tender that chewing was optional! haha. the sauce was rich and thick, just how it should be. however, i prefer mine with abitof a kick and spice. this was served with veggies that tasted good too.

we also got their chicken and waffles, the chicken strips were legit chicken which was great! the waffles were the star of the show, it’s very crispy and dense! very yummy!

we got a hash brown on the side because that’s my favorite part of any diner-sequel places. it was crispy and salty, just the way i like it!

will totally come back for more!

first time eating here at denny's, portion size was precise to the pricing of each dish, abitpricey for me, but the food was good. ambiance was spacious and chill. servers are hospitable and their service time for the food was quick.

had to get a quick breakfast before class so we headed to denny’s because it’s open 24 hours! i loved the bangus i ordered but it’s abittoo pricey relatively. they also have unlimited coffee for 75 pesos now too. if you’re planning to get a dessert, i would recommend their sweet waffles.

bright place with good ambience, wifi and environment. service is also very friendly.

food that i've tried ranges from decent to good. food tends to be abitdry, which mars otherwise good pancakes and waffles. the quesadillas, however, are excellent. coffee also is on the bitter side, even with cream, so its goodness depends on your preference.

bit pricy for the food quality, but the ambience makes up for it.

good for a relaxed, casual meal alone or with friends, but don't expect anything mind-blowing good.

i absolutely love this place!!! we have breakfast here all the time when we visit my dad’s workplace.

the food is great and they serve huge portions. it’s abitpricey though but it’s worth it 👌🏼

hallelujah to all day breakfast!!! as a tapa lover, i love how they cook their tapas. i always want the kanto-style tapa. a littlebitdry with a lot of taste and that's how i got 'em. i didn't expect them to serve it like that since i thought it's a diner. definitely coming back for this!

all day breakfast haven!! we ordered cajun shrimps, chicken walnut balsamic salad (i think), soup of the day, lemonade,,
so first of portions! madame sya lalo yung salad though uhhmm it was abitpricey, since its under italiannis , however it taste divine chicken was tender and take note! madame walnut..
cajun shrimps was ok! i like the heat.. and its ok for 2 pax unless malaki gutom mo..
will definitely try waffles next time!!!

dennys.

the surprise taste i had when i first went to japan, now in ph 🤤

the 24/7 diner that offers altanghap sarap hahaha

food - i dont really like bacon due to its saltiness. when i tried the breakfast side with bacon. i said "aaaah heaven is real 🤤" the pancake is creamy and super fluffy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the quesadillas is not too crunchy and not too soft. how in the world is that possible? 😊😂

service - seamless. one call to request servuce from attendant and they are right with you. awesome. i hope the competition can learn a thing or two from your service's swiftness.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ambience- just the right chill haha. they could install abitmore exhaust though to avoid food scent stick to you...i smell like the office pantry when we left. 😂😂😂

pricing - average. not all can visit this. range will be min 4-6usd depending on your order. but, servings can be for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️

disclaimer: this review may be overrated or underrated. this is solely based on my experience. enjoyability of experience is best defined by you.

we wanted to try denny's for the first time, and we remembered there was on in the nuvali area. so we decided to have dinner there.

the place was very well lit, no weird smells or anything. sometimes restaurant menus and tables stink(kind of like a rag that hasn't been rinsed in a while), but denny's didn't have that. the staff were courteous and led us to a booth. 4.5 stars for the service, minus .5 because i asked the waiter if the wrap was spicy and he said no. it was. 😂

four sampler - i forgot the name of this dish, it's not in the menu or online because i think it's new. it's an appetizer plate with their fries, pancake puppies, chicken quesadillas and chicken fingers. fries were good, nothing special, not super hot tho. quesadilla's were also nothing special. the slices of green peppers were abittoo over-powering for me. the chicken fingers were heavy, but good. as for extra bbq bourbon sauce for these, the red sauce they put in the plate didn't really go well together with the breeding. now the pancake puppies were delicious. i literally fell in love with them. they've got a crispy, brown exterior, and a light, sweet, semi-moist center. these were the star of the show. they could have added abitmore caramel dipping sauce, but it was okay.

oreo milkshake - typical milkshake made of ice cream and bits of oreos. was just a too thick, maybe not blended enough because it wasn't going up the straw anymore. yummy and big chunks of cookies.

lumberjack slam - ham, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausages, toast, hash browns, 2 eggs and 2 pancakes. everything was good, i just found it weird that one bacon strip was super crispy and the other was soggy. the hash brown was disappointing. it looked big because it was spread out, but it was really thin. it was delicious though, crispy and well-seasoned. the pancakes however, were craaaazy good! see how thick and fluffy they are? they taste as good as they look, and we like them way more that ihop's pancakes. they're not dense, or cakey.

skillet wrap - kind of like a burrito, but more in the nacho-tasting zone. it was abittoo spicy for me. again i asked kuya waiter if it was and he said no. so it kind of surprised me. the egg was a good touch and made it taste more like a breakfast burrito. the pepper jack cheese sauce, which i thought would be the spicy part, surprisingly wasn't even that spicy. it's a good dish, but after a couple of bites, you sort of get tired of the repetitive taste. definitely too heavy for me. i'd suggest this if you're super hungry and you like spicy food.

overall, it was an incredibly filling meal. my pants were too tight by the time i stood up and i fell asleep in the car ride going home. abiton the expensive side, as are ihop and friday's. it's your typical american breakfast place, expect to walk out full. try it if you're tired of ihop and you want to eat somewhere new.

i have been to denny's in california several times so i would like to see how the philippine franchise has been doing.
we ate here as a family, with this evia location fairly new, their service is actually very slow and seemed that thay were still adjusting. it was a late dinner and the place was packed so we opted to seat outdoors.

calling for the staff takes awhile, though they did apologize for their slow service. time lapsed from orders being taken to being delivered took at least 30 minutes.

i had the double patty cheeseburger, which was quite hefty, with a side serving of fries. fries was just normal, and the burger abitdry and bland, despite requesting it to be medium, i would say it had been medium-well cooked.

we had the ribeye cobb salad, hood for sharing though the bleu cheese dressing was abitoverpowering.

the original grand slam was just okay, the serving was hefty, but i thought everything looked "dry", presentation wise.

the steak and eggs were okay, but the steak portion i thought was too small for the serving. we also ordered the arroz caldo, which i thought was good., split in half but it was still filling. orange juices was also okay.

i had mixed feelings for denny's overall, i would go back but the meals were just not memorably delightful as i would rather have it elsewhere better. the service was way too slow as well, forgivable though as they were still adjusting as they said.
