Denny's never disappoints the t bone sizzling steak is Amazing milkshakes are do die for truly a remarkable
Experience
I highly recommend the Oreo shake with the hot fudge cake ���
As usual, the ambiance is nice. For the main course, I highly recommend their Meat Lovers Pizza and their famous Oreo shake.
For sides, try the curly fries. They are lightly seasoned and you get the aioli dip as well.
The dining area and the restrooms are clean and tidy.
Danny's has changed so much! The foods actually gotten better!! I went in for a quick brunch yesterday with the fam and honestly the food was so good! I really didn't like their hash browns before but now they're so good!! I had to eat my partners one too hehe 😁 Danny's definitely have made a huge improvement! Everything was so lovely and waiters definitely made us feel welcome! Thanks guys!
First time coming here and was amazing! Friendly service, our waitress was helpful with reccomendations for me. My daughter looooves the mac and cheese. Was alot bigger then expected. Only downfall was my lamb was done well done when i asked for medium. But im not going to let that damper our visit :) will definatly be back!!!!
We dined at dennys on the 28th may 2017 there were 12 of us we found the atmosphere very pleasant our waitress very friendly and polite and took our orders about 5 to 10 mins after seating us. we waited no more than 15mins for all our meals to arrive and we found the meals to be of a good standard. remember this is a diner not a restaurant so don't go expecting high end food then you won't be disappointed. we were ok with the price for me and my wife it was $65 for 2 mains 2 milkshakes and 2 deserts , all I can say to all the haters is that we will return.
This is a nice family orientated restaurant its underrated and i think people forget it is Porirua and it is Denny's ... its an american diner not a "high end" restaurant ... i really enjoy Denny's and the kids meals are on point it didnt get a 5 because last time we went we had to wait a very long time for food in a pretty empty restaurant but we have been there plenty of times to know these things dont happen all the time :-) ... Also free meal on your birthday !!!
Just deleted my review from last year so I could post another one. Last year service was terrible.
We went again in Feb - our child's choice for her birthday - and the service was great. The food was nice and we left full and satisfied. Thanks Denny's for getting it back together.

I go to Denny's often - and did just this last weekend. It's the place I go when I'm feeling really hungry but am not quite sure what I feel like - the menu is huge so there is plenty of choice (photo of Buffalo Winger added). Now with pizza which pretty much completes it. I don't expect much more than what I get there - it's not fine dining - it's just a place to go for a good feed on a rainy weekend that is slightly cheaper than most other diners. It's simple, hearty food that lacks finesse, but it is generally always satisfying despite the tendency of some staff to be inattentive at times (ie: the waitress who seated us just walked off when we got to the table, but the one who took our order was awesome). The burgers are quite good and have an American diner feel to them, especially the mushroom cheeseburger - I can't help but re-enact the diner scene from "Pulp Fiction" when there! You get a good portion of shrimps in the shrimp cocktail (with bog-standard shredded lettuce & thousand island sauce); the steaks are fairly good for a restaurant of this type - they come with choices of veges, salad, fries or potato); the pizzas can be a bit wizzened at times & there is only a choice of two. Pancakes - superb! My breakfast item of choice is the Crackerjack (real fried grated potato hash brown, sausages, eggs the way you want them, tomato, mushrooms, bacon & toast with spreads all included). It used to include a small pot of tea, but that's now extra. I asked for maple syrup to go on my bacon and a jug was provided at no extra charge. Always a good experience. The toilets are starting to look old and used - the lock on the door of the one I used was busted. The bathroom was 'clean' but smelled 'unfresh'.
December 2013: Returned to Denny's a few days ago to try the Hobbit meals - there isn't really much about them that is specifically Hobbity, but they are quaint. I had the 'Dwarves Roast Turkey Dinner' which consisted of slices of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potato & gravy, broccoli, carrots & stuffing (you had the choice of potato/gravy & veges or salad & chips), served with a garlic bread roll. It wasn't any different from any other roast dinner but was very nice & filling. I also had the Bard's Pumpkin Pie milkshake - sounds terrible but was delicious (photo added). The Hobbit menu includes a Build Your Own Hobbit Slam that has choices of Honey Cake French Toast, Sweet Potato Pecan Pancakes and a Hearty Breakfast Sandwich. There’s a spicy Smaug’s Fire Burger, and Radagast’s Red Velvet Pancake Puppies. There is also the Hobbit Hole Breakfast, Bilbo's Breakfast Feast & Bowman's Brew Pumpkin Pie coffee. I'll comment on these if/as I try them. The novelty of it appeals to me but it could be done a lot better.

Earlier this month, I visited Denny's Porirua for the first time since late 2011. The staff, including the manager, warmly welcomed my party of two on a cold, grey, wet, Monday morning. Our meals were fresh and tasty, and the staff were able to perform other tasks while still giving us the service we needed.
My only complaint would be the ten-minute wait for a cup of filter coffee. I knew they weren't brewing a fresh batch, because I could see a full pot on top of the dripolator behind the bar. I'm assuming there was plenty of top-up/restocking to do in the bar/dessert area, hence the delay.
Finally, a more streamlined system for those where some are eating from the breakfast buffet and others are choosing from the menu would be nice. I understand it would be very easy for customers to wolf down huge amounts of buffet food and then disappear without paying, but unless everyone in the group is there for the buffet, this 'pay for the buffet now and the rest later' thing creates unneccessary bottlenecks at the front door.
found this place when we did the ‘rock to wellington’ concert in 08,(breaky)have to say the service was above average, the food was quick and delicious and there were quite a few diners looking quite content with their visit.
i, with friends and/or family have had lunch here several times, we have always found the service and food to be good, cheap and cheerful, much better than fastfood places but with similar prices,(and the food is a lot better!) would recommend it to anyone who wants a tidy,cheap place to eat,
Food was great. Service excellent.
Everything was just as I expected
Came here for dinner tonight and the food was incredible!! Staff were nice the food was definitely the highlight! My partner and I had the honey chicken and garlic and her chicken with chips and salad the chicken was juicy and fresh, chips were delicious and not oily! When visiting Wellington next time we will definitely pop in! Wish we had of came in sooner before our trip was over would have loved to try more items on their menu!
Excellent meal, friendly staff and restaurant was clean and tidy.
Great service. Food was good as well.
I always enjoy the food at Denny's, many times came here and have never been disappointed. Huge portions, tasty food, and good services.
Place looks a bit bland, but the food was great. A bit pricy but the service, and the meal was worth it.
Surprisingly excellent food. Everything was sooo delicious! It brought back a lot of memories of eating at an American diner.
Having not been there for several years, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, can I say I was happy with the food ,service, and the atmosphere that had a lovely surf and turf followed by a yummy dessert
In the past we've found this Denny's to be hit and miss but the place has improved immensely over the past couple of years. There is something on the menu for everyone from vegetarian options, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, Gold Card specials, kids and more! It's pretty good value for money if you have a large group.
Good food, milkshake was pretty good. Decent service we will definitely be back again
