Reviews of Denny's Manukau Restaurant
M.I was invited to go here recently and even though I didn't really want to, I did end up going. The food was a lot more expensive than what I would have thought given their reputation. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, and I could easily get similar value for less somewhere else. For some weird reason we had to ask several times for water (and the food is quite salty, so it was needed) and when it did come we got 6 glasses for 8 people and only a pitchers' worth. It wasn't a horrible experience but it did reinforce my original impression of Denny's. If I got invited back I'd likely go, but I probably wouldn't choose to come here.
L.Hadn't been to Dennys for a few years, but enjoyed my meal there on 9.1.2022. I had a satay roll then chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert plus a mango smoothie. They were all fresh and delicious and we didn't have to wait long for our food. My sister had a pancake stack with butter, some spring rolls, a chocolate milk shake and a coke. She didn't complain so it must have been delicious.
K.Breakfast was great..
My husband and I would have preferred real glasses to drink from rather than plastic one's though.
There was no freshly squeezed orange juice which was ashame I thought, but over all the service was wonderful. The waitresses were very friendly and checked in on us both frequently to see if we needed anything..
Loved the bottom less coffee on offer also ❤✌
R.Went to Denny’s after bowls for some dinner. It’s had a bit of renovation since I was there last. My steak was great, I had to ask for dressing for my salad. My partners shank was luke warm but she was hungry so she ate it anyway. Wasn’t as tender as she was hoping but ok. Parking is good, staff was busy friendly and helpful. I’d go again.
I went back and had a surf and turf, I was a bit disappointed with what I got. Very bland and wouldn’t order that again.
L.Customer service is decent but on our latest visit was a little meh. Food comes hot which is an advantage 😊 really love their mushroom cheese burger.
The one instance the food wasn’t properly cooked we were given that meal free so props to them for being willing to keep customers pleased.
W.Dennys curly fries are the best, they still are decades later! A little disappointed it no longer comes with aoili but it was damn delicious. However, their other items are well below par. The steaks, burgers, sandwiches, appetizers. Most appetizers are frozen seafood you find in the supermarket. I do appreciate they have tried updating their menu and added some more fusion meals. But the quality is not great for the price. All i can say is, I only come here for the curly fries, the only place I would make a trip for just for the fries yum!
V.Great customer service, pork ribs stake with salad was yummy yummy. Love there Buffalo chicken wings delicious. The atmosphere was great. Waiting time for our mains only take 10mins. If you're looking for a good meal, I recommend this place for lunch. Thanks to all the staff. Awesome service.
C.Never been to Dennys before. Went with a dear friend. Loved it so much I'll be going back. The prices were very reasonable. Awesome food. Awesome time. Highly recommend Dennys Manukau.
L.As a well traveled restauranteur, I have eaten at many fine establishments around the world. I’d like to say, none of them compare to Denny’s Manakau. With open arms you are welcomed through the lobby and your senses are driven to euphoria. Dazzled by the ambient canary fluorescent lights, and soothed by the soft crooning of Robbie williams, allow the esteemed wait staff to escort you to your luxury private booth lined with rare Italian leather from Tuscany. The varied yet curated selection of the finest food and drink sourced from artisan global suppliers leaves nothing to be desired. An intimate view of the open kitchen allows you a view of the chefs at work, crafting the finest of delights. The sweet lingering aromas of the deep fryers tantalise your nostrils as you begin to salivate in anticipation of the culinary journey you are poised to undertake. The food itself? Words simply cannot describe. I invite you to indulge yourself in an otherworldly experience. This is not to be missed. There are not enough stars in the sky to give this establishment the praise it deserves. Bon apetit.
K.I've been coming to this Denny's since I was a kid. The food's also been above-average for diner-style food, and the place itself is always clean. They also keep the toilets nice and neat, which is a big deal when eating out somewhere.
Whether it's an early morning breakfast, mid-week lunch or a late-night dessert run, you can't go wrong with Denny's. I recommend the Snowball (deep-fried ice cream).
A.Very busy night took 45mins for our main meals to arrive and they forgot to bring our friends meal out which finally arrived once we almost finishing eating. The hot fudge cake dessert was tasty and worth the wait though. Not bad for first experience considering how packed the restaurant was. The staff looked very busy and tired.
K.The whole place has been renovated with new parking and everything. Heaps of room inside and outside. Very bright and airy inside. Definite improvement. Menu was good and the food too. Service was slow despite having alot of staff. Could do with better management.
C.We had a messup where our food was late due to the table number being used twice, but the staff were very good about solving it and despite the hour wait the food was really good and i really want to thank the staff for making sure we got all our food fast after that issue was solved. Dennys food is always great
S.This place has history. The first in all of Aotearoa. Breakfast is ok. Coffee is bitter. Hard to reach by foot. Easy to reach by vehicle.
A.Order Denny Benedict, very satisfied with the meal, brought a friend who had never been before, is prepared to recommend to others when they visit Auckland as I am 🤩 sorry I didn't take pics
M.No booking required.Place is nice and clean, had great service. Ordered surf and turf, sticky date pudding and 2 rtds, great dinner
S.So great! came here at past 12am and the place was packed. The kitchen was busy and although the bar had closed, was able to get a good feed. Definitely a great spot for a late-night snack. easy-going family restaurant with booths you can sit in and chat, have a meal/snacks. There's american style and other random styles, asian, italian and such in the menu too.
L.Good ambience but quite crowded. Delicious food and good service
P.New renovations are great so is the food. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Always full & still has plenty of parking. Fresh ingredients and cooked to the perfection. Can see the chef's cooking. Great table service. Been going there for years but new interiors makes it more interesting now. Highly recommended.
A.great food very generous portions, Great value family friendly venue.
The staff are lovely. Great service very accommodating. Keep up the great work
E.The food was cooked well and it was delicious. The service was excellent the girls Mele, Rinee & Easter always smiled and were very easy to approach. Thank you for a great dining experience Denny's Manukau!
P.930 pm day after new years, place was nearly full. Got a table straight away luckily. Service was good and reasonably friendly. Between my partner and I we had a garlic bread, a wine and a beer, the salmon filet skillet and the chicken skillet, veges were good, luckily my favs, broccoli, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, roast potatoes. Salmon had a nice light hollandaise sauce, was a little overcooked and the skin wasnt crispy but nice piece of salmon and no bones. The chicken was moist. Was about $70 so not that cheap for what we got. As I expected the food was ok but certainly lacked the skill of cooking and seasoning you would expect from a good restaurant, servings were large though and provides lunch for the next day. Recommended for something a step up from coffee club or valentines with enough variety on the menu to keep everyone happy.
R.Lovely renovated with bright yellow. Able to seat more people with better use of space.
Menus has new added treats in all categories. Vegetarian options, breakfast options. Great place to go to catch up with friends and family
M.Meh....Very Paru taste in the kai.
5 stars for being unhygienic.
5 stars for who owns this place.
5 stars for never again.
O.I ate the premium burger, it had great cooked meat, AMAZING MUSHROOMS, a great toasted bun and vegies. The fries and curly fries came hot. The renovation was so cool. The restaraunt appealed to my eye.
I highly recommend visiting this restaraunt. The food didn't take long which was a big plus.
l.Service with a smile, always helpful. A great place to be with family and relax. Best curly fries ever.
T.Loved the food. The setting was ideal for our party. Service was great too.
V.Love the food and the staff are the best, would definitely go back with my whole family.
L.Loved it, easy parking, not crowded for our large family for breakfast. Being from out of town we think it was reasonably priced for what we ordered. No complaints from any of our group. Our meal was very good value and clean not fatty and a decent size. Very enjoyable.
b.good food menu open 24hours had a burger couldn't finish the chips very filling. well setup dinning
N.Dennys reminds me a lot of the american shows where there's this local dinner and they serve massive portions and feed you right. I had a great time they did mess up the birthday surprise, but maybe I wasn't clear? Doesn't matter the desert was great and the staff were absolutely lovely. Looking forward to coming back 😋
W.Exact copy of the USA franchise. The menu is a little bit changed to the NZ taste. We tried the salmon and lamb. Both delicious and served by a friendly waitress. The restaurant was packed this Thursday so I recommend reservation on busy days. Like my review below
T.Pretty mediocre food, but the waiters are amazingly nice.
C.There was no fault from the staff working that night, they worked exceptionally, but were quite badly understaffed.
It was a very long wait of over an hour from ordering to receiving our food, in which time, I somehow got a crunchy pancake in my grandslam. Fortunately the food was still good quality.
The rating would be lower if not for seeing the reasons why it was taking so long, 3 chefs working nearly non stop, and only a handful of wait staff for a full restaurant.
P.Great place to have a casual meal at any time it is open 24-7. Great verity on the menu which is very reasonably priced for a restaurant and hope you are hungry because you get an awesome amount on your plate. Try the curly chips as a side for something different regarding chips. Very nice fresh food well worth visiting. Has wheel chair access although one side could be a little bit of a long climb nothing to serious and is manageable. Whenever we are in Auckland it will be Denny's at least once as it is very down to earth and good friendly service top top it all off.
R.I like the food but I really dislike the grated potato as opposed to the hash browns that every other place sells.
K.Denny's Manukau is always busy so i would recommend that you make a booking, a great place for a small family or group, i wouldn't recommend a group of 8+ as the seating for large groups is usually placed down the middle which can be a bit awkward for patrons. Also they need to put up some sort of partitioning wall in front of the restroom entrance so customers dont get toilet air on their food. The food is copacetic to say the least.
M.Best curly fries, burgers 🍔 milkshakes and hot fudge sundaes 😬😋
K.Food was good. Service was slow. Entrees and main arrived together so some people had cold mains after eating their entree. My meal was delayed at the table to almost everyone else was finished eating. The baby high chairs looked quite unclean. Our table wasn't cleared for quite some time. We needed space for a birthday cake and had to ask for the table to be cleared, even though we were all clearly finished eating. There is a ramp, but it ends in a few stairs. Doors very heavy to move so may be difficult for the aged or disabled. Toilets on premises. Allows online ordering. Large servings of everything.
M.The staff were very helpful there was also a limited seniors menu avabilable
G.Food was delicious and service was good would recommend 100%
C.Food was ok, service was slow. Got our drinks we ordered after our meals when they suppose to come out first 🤦🏽♀️
L.Another nice place to dine and eat although no staff noticed us standing there, until I had to call a staff member to the side if me and my kids could sit at a table as there were lots of empty seats. Apart from this staff girl was nice she cleaned up our table we were seated at. Service was good. Food was yummy az kids enjoyed it all. My favorite was the wedges and toasted Sammy I had was nice 😊 and for us all our favorite was the desert chocolate mud pudding with ice cream Yom! 😋😋😋 Will be back again.
M.Great for families, casual ,food is good and its kid friendly. Make sure you order this tasty dish, they're finger licking good 😋😋
C.Goodness me...my salmon was amazing! Service for the drinks and meal was a little slow but it was busy too...my meal was huge and I couldn't eat it all...luckily because two of the people I was with ordered tortellini and theirs were small so they were happy to finish mine!
w.Was Allgood. Nice and friendly staff. Good meals as well.
T.The meals are big and priced well/cheap for the size meals. Venue has been painted and is tidy. Bathrooms could of done with a clean. Dessert is awesome, hot fuge cake was huge. Good for families, it is always really busy but you don't wait to long for your order.
R.The food is pretty average as you would expect but it wasn't bad and it hit the spot for a few hungry souls in the wee hours of Sunday morning last weekend. The customer service was good too, the staff who were on that night/morning were very efficient 👌
M.We were there between 7pm to 10pm. Big group for a farewell dinner. I arrived 7:20pm (one of the last to arrive). We ordered around 7:45pm, orders came out 35-ish mins later in drips. A few minor hiccups but they were nothing compared to the fabulous food that we had. Comfort food and desserts, for all ages, so delicious.
M.Food is always reliable and good value. The best thing was the great selection of vegetarian food: a whole section in the middle of the menu. Service was friendly, and the manager took control of the situation when there was a problem with our order not arriving. I hadn’t been here for a long time, as I’d moved out of the area but it was great to see so many families enjoying their night out.
J.Denny's always coming back here when i visit. Great breakfast huge servings...
The millennium burger is delicious... chips always beautiful.... usually have pancakes but this time they weren't that great... but still love the place.
J.As good time management and keeps up with healthy eating and delicious also health policies
R.Food is ok. Very bland and pricey. Not what it used to be.
L.Great for the family
P.Service was fast, clean & friendly.. the Juicest, fattyest Premium Burger i have ever tasted.. delissimo! will return again
d.Good dessert options and Food portion is very satisfying.
S.Great food great prices free on your birthday with purchase
T.Excellent food as always very good customer service
L.We had a great time, the food was nice but the waitress was very slow to take our orders for dinner and dessert. Other than that it was our first time there. Yes we will be back. Hopefully our service will be better.
K.Best Dennys in Ack hands down! Chicken satay roll was massive, shared with a friend. Great cooks!
T.Family Breakfast @ Denny's for our son's birthday was surprisingly a great experience overall food was timely, tasty, portion size very generous, (2) staff members who waited our table were both lovely to deal with.
M.Had an excellent lunch here. Arrived just after 1pm and the restaurant was about 2/3 full. Prices had risen since we last went to a Denny's, portions were still generous. Service was good and food came out quickly and reminded me of our travels across the US and their typical cuisine, cheese burgers and fries. Pity they don't have free soda refills like in the US.
M.Great food but took a long time to receive it ( almost 45minutes) even though we were in before lunch rush. Staff were friendly though.
n.Place is great for family and couples and all sorts of families. Nice food,be warned when ordering mains and desserts as well,they come in big sizes,so ask for smaller portions before ordering.
Only downsize is the decor could do with a clean especially the seating for their cubicles.
Other than that very good food and service is ok.
F.A nice and friendly restaurant for a basic good meal. Some day's they have an action for a second (children)meal for free.
S.Love the vibe and service by smiling staff! I did mention at the cashier counter about having very less vegan choices on the menu and she replied she's sorry! The falafel platter and the veggie breakfast sans eggs are the only ones I could find
D.Haven't been to this Denny's in a while. Was very busy at 1.40pm but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table for 3. Meals were great, took a while for drinks so we reminded them, as i said they were very busy, so that was fine. Our biggest disappointment was that after asking 3 staff about our deserts, it took 1hour to get desert, by now its 4.20pm. We enjoyed all the meals and desserts, we did notice a staff change and thats why we asked 3 times to different staff. We would of given a 5 star otherwise.
S.Had dinner here with my family last week Saturday 8th February and it was busy. We were greeted and seated straight away, went through the menu, so many dishes to choose from but we got there in the end. While we waited and waited for our meals, couldn't help but noticed that there were a lot of staff yet we had patience. Service was slow but our meals were worth the wait. Pricing is reasonable. Atmosphere was good, a lot of families with their children, friendly staff but just slow.
T.Love Denny's everything's yummy😍Had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch here.
C.Was ok, chairs were a little sticky and food squashed into the floor. Staff were nice but just the booth could've done with a quick tidy before we were told to sit. But that was all food was good.
R.Food was good but cleanliness is lacking a bit
J.Mean as munch... plenty variety... only fault... coffee and mocca cold... just saying
G.Ordered the Sizzling Roast Beef. Was sausage meat chopped up with what seemed like stir fry veges and way too much onions.
The missus ordered the Cajun chicken salad, which pretty good.
Pro tip: If ordering desserts at the start, make sure to tell them to bring it later, or you will get it before your meal.
F.Didn't really enjoy dining here. Not only was the wait long (thete weren't that many people the day we went) but I also ordered a meal apricot chicken with curly fries and asked for cheese sauce on the side. They out cheese sauce on my chicken. Left the salad out and forgot maple syrup for my husbands order. The customer service was average not that great. Compared to their other branches. New Lynn and Highland Park branches servive and food is a little better then manukau branch.
m.Yummy food. Great service. 24hrs open. Yeah 😆
n.Great staff - very attentive and friendly. The food isn't very tasty. Great if you like your food plain. Served with masses of chips. The place looked clean from a distance but I looked down and there were hairs and crumbs down the side of the chair. The place could do with a good vacuum.
E.Great place some times you got to wait awhile for your meals. But certain waiters will attend to what you need. So great service so far. I have had no problems while dining there. However wish the waffles on dessert meal would be a bigger portion if your only there for dessert.
B.I go there for a cheap feed. Really fills me up if i get the big breakfast, coffee and a smoothie!
P.Lovely place, lovely staff, you do have to wait a bit for your order if its really busy. They just forgot my aoli sauce with curly fries but allgood just ask for it.
N.Way better potion then any other Denny's. The waiting time for food about 15mins and again a better time than any other Denny's. If you're ordering buffalo wings reassure them not to make them dry or over cook them. Apart from that great service 😉👍
G.A bit difficult to find. Clean inside and toilets were very clean. Food up to Denny's usual standard -quite good. Large portions. Service was very slow.
The milk jug and teapot leaked all over the table when used .The staff seemed to keep behind the scenes and didn't venture out to take orders or clear away regularly. However new customers were greeted and seated well enough.
J.Wow awesome service yummy food. First time I have had pork ribs like that compliments to the chef, thank you for the wonderful food and the smiles from all the server's 👍
G.Food was nice but we didn't have a waiting staff coming over to our tables to take orders.
F.The food here is ok but not great. The service was friendly however, my order was not taken down properly leaving me not feeling satisfied. Very expensive meal for mistakes.
T.Awesome customer service and attitude went there with family will go back there again
I.Service a bit slow but otherwise very good
T.Food is ok, service is good. Didn't like how they forgot to serve some of the food that was ordered. Otherwise It's a nice place to sit down and have a meal!
M.My family loved it will defs be going back again!
C.My parents like going to this branch as it's close to them, but i don't like it. You wait far too long to be given a menu and then even longer for them to return to your table to take your order! They also always seem to get one of the food orders wrong so you end up sitting there waiting while everyone else is eating. The staff are friendly enough, i just think they need better training. Waiting over 15min to have your order taken is just wrong!
L.Always has the best sized breakfast omelette to eat.
M.Love Denny's always yummy food was really packed so be prepared to wait for seating but the takeaway order I ordered was pretty fast considering the amount of people in the restaurant
N.Busy. Clean. Service was good the waiter checked on our table often but not too often. Would love it if they had the option of serving soft drinks in jugs. Also noted there was a sign at reception that stated with large group orders they would not accept multiple transactions meaning one transaction per group.
B.I have frequented this particular restaurant often as it is open 24/7 so always handy. Decor is dated and not very clean. Everything feels greasy but probably from the high turn over of patrons. The menu has constantly changed and there seems to be less and less selection. There is always plenty of staff and it depends on who you get as to the service you receive. Food is simple but I have never had problems with quality, only order mishaps. The toilets have looked the same for many, many years and it smells like it. Even though the manager assures me it has just been cleaned. Good for seating big groups.
T.It was a busy morning trade while we were there. The service was quick and they had unlimited coffee with my crack a jack breakfast. The omlet was nice, but while I was there a lot of people were ordering the burgers and they looked amazing. I believe it a one set menu for all day breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.
D.Over priced, but yummy food. Staff a bit ditsy and messed up our order 3 times but were only too happy to sort it out each time.
c.Was pretty busy, the Saturday we went into the restaurant. Ordered Satay Chicken and Garlic Chicken with fries and Salad, curly fries and spring rolls. Both chicken dishes were over cooked - 0the chicken was very dry.
G.Monday morning breakfast before attending a course. Denny provides a convenient quick breakfast - Eggs Benedict and a flat white @$20 is good value.
There was stuff on the floor - it could do with a clean but overall it was good with clean eating surfaces.
H.I love the phone order pick up option, so nice to have one of yr Spicy Chicken Salads in the comfort of home . Not sure many people are aware you can do that! It's great.
M.Generally nice but simple food although it depends who is cooking. Faded 80s decor. Only show in town though if you want dinner in the middle of the night.
H.Took our Kids & Mokos for lunch, family restaurant with kids menu.
G.Meal was awesome service was ok until we waited for the dessert menu for the waitress to finish talking to her mates. We waited 10 mins & had enough & paid & left without pudding
D.After visiting Denny's 16 yrs ago, I thought I'd try it out again as my previous experience was amazing. We were a family of 5 and walked in off the street. We were greeted with a friendly smiling face and seated promptly. The waitress we had was awesome, my family enjoyed their food and we didn't have to wait long. Sticky date pudding was very nice as was the hot fudge cake. If you're on a budget there are some meals on the menu that may interest you like most restaurants it can be expensive. But we were happy to pay for our meals. Thanks Denny's Manukau.
F.the service was very good food very nice
C.Place has been newly refurbished looks great but not sure if the changes are at all practical. Maybe they should have gone with easy to clean fabric for the seats as over time I can see the suede-is material getting rather grotty. And the tables should've been built more stable to last longer. Price of food is ok I guess but I wish they would bring back the $6 pies!!!! Usually the service here is ok but this particular day service was terrible! I understand we had a rather large group but that's what their pen and pads are for. The waitress looked totally un-interested and looked rather annoyed when making changes and didnt even write things down properly which concluded in a few missed meals and one of our kids waiting ages for pancakes 🤦♀️ Wish I had taken her name down but we were so annoyed afterwards we left promptly. Usually a good go-to last minute place to have a quick meal but today must've been an off day.
J.A wonderful place to sit and spend a lot of time with your significant other...❤️ You have a range of choices from seafoods to lamb..👌🏽 And the deserts are like Wow... 💯👌🏽
A.Hallo Dennys if you enjoyed this meal 😋if with my daddy and us going on Sunday 930am to doctor and first covld infection and on Sunday if
p.Good service. Nice food.
P.Simple the best stop before going for a long drive
J.It is fantastic for what it is - a 24 hour diner style restaurant. Great variety of breakfasts, entrees, mains and desserts. We recommend the pancakes for breakfast, the super bird sandwich for lunch and chicken fajitas for dinner. Way too many desserts to pick from. All food is reasonably priced but there are also super cheap budget options. Plenty of parking, friendly staff and clean bathrooms. Just a really great casual dining experience.
J.Restaurant looks pretty flash, looks to have undergone some renovations recently.
Service wasn't quite so awesome. Although the place appeared fully staffed (approx. 7 servers on), it took about 35mins and asking twice to receive drinks.
Food came about 20mins after, no complaints about that - Same quality food you get at other Denny's across Auckland
T.Quality is definitely dropped. Had salmon hotplate which was very dry and OVERcooked not as enjoyable as it used to be.
C.The place has been remodeled not that long ago so it is brighter and cleaner. Big booths and tables means it's great for groups. The menu has expanded slightly, especially the vegetarian and kids sections, so there are more options for everyone. I would love if they brought back the Grand Slam-wich.
Staff are friendly and polite, but seemed to be overwhelmed - maybe they are new?
E.food is soso..not bad!
F.Food was good, excellent service by Ashlyn. First time in a while someone has come by and asked if everything was going okay. Just what we need 😊
D.They make great burgers. Their premium burger was super juicy & massive. You get heaps of chips with it aswell.....kids eat for free Monday to Wednesday when you purchase an adult value meal. Great value for money.
H.Ate the eggs Benedict with salmon. It was okay but good for the price. It was the only place open where we could dine in so that's very nice. The service was very good and food qaa average. Have eaten the burgers before and those are quite nice.
C.Denny's is my go-to place for delicious food. The surf & turf here is my fave. I visited on my birthday so the extra bonus of eating for free was awesome.
C.The entree was delicious. My husband got a steak which was cooked perfectly but was dished up cold chips. My main was chicken fettuccine chicken. It was bland and the sauce was very liquidy. Which I didn't eat. The deserts were delicious.
S.This place is so much better now. They are generous servings, well cooked and a nice atmosphere. The restaurant has been well renovated and the staff are attentive and friendly. So much nicer than it used to be.
C.Great food good prices and the employees are lovely. May get busy which means noise. Bathroom was messy and no T.P
R.Food was great. Service was ok but we had to wait sooooo long for a waiter to come and take our order and it wasn't even that busy.
B.Good food and service, but the attention to detail around cleaning would bring this to a 5 star rating.
L.It was a 3am dine in which we can understand how tired and pressured the staff is, but overall it was good, the waitresses were very kind and thorough taking our orders, my buffalo wings were not bad, a bit dry and hard, but our other meals were delicious awesome hospitality, till we meet again cool😋😎👍🏼❤️
J.Always enjoy the food here. The wait time for someone to take your order can be quite long. Customer service is ok, some friendly and some not so much. Their new renovations look nice, overall good experiences.
R.Nice n hot food and lovely dessert 🍰
R.My family came in after 4pm Sunday n it wasn't busy. The place needs abit of updating.Food was yummy but service was a bit slow had to wave for their attention but other then that my family was happy n full.It open 24 hours. Prices are reasonable. They have promotion Free birthday meal or kids eat free must check their website page for more information. Plenty carparks. Our meals were like $25 or less. Happy to go back coz I enjoy their curly fries n aioli sauce.
L.Lovely staff but service was slow and we asked for food to come out all together but we got first lot then second lot 20 minutes later. Be nice if they had cheap deals on meals. Better chef to cook steak and the mushroom sauce, was very plain. Work on taste and service.
N.Great fast service with yummy food, kids really loved the curly fries!
We were all so full we couldn't fit in dessert!
J.Prettyyyyyy average restaurant. Ordered the BBQ spare ribs and there was a looooot of sauce which was super tangy and burned the back of my throat. Will probably request for less sauce next time. Super family freidnly restaurant, definitely recommend for families. The staff were friendly and very efficient. About a 15 minute wait for food. Overall I'd give it four stars.
A.Great as usual. Good for a quick bite before concert at Vodafone Arena
L.I love Denny's. It's 24 hours. Loads of parking. 90% of the time you get a table as soon as you walk in. However if you did have to wait they have a very comfortable waiting space with a claw machine for The kids to play with. The food is good but the desert are so yummy. The snowball is my favourite. If you get coffee you can top up your cup as many times as you like but getting the waitress attention is sometimes difficult.
S.Good food, pretty good service too. Minor problem was having to wait for a long time for chips. However, the food was good. Burgers are probably good if you are on a budget, they are really big and are worth the cash. Especially the millennium burger.
P.Great meals last couple of nights at Denny's restaurant. Good friendly, quick service. Meals a good size. Good family restaurant.
Difficult to turn down desert. Price not too bad.
E.Good taste on what we ordered, and the portions are bigger than expected! And they give you your order fast.
L.Good feed from dennys today mmmmm mmmmm
s.Had dinner here with a few work friends on the weekend . Although the wait wasnt as long as i expect for a busy saturday night . We waited awhile to be greeted at the front, our order was messed up, some of us recieved our food while others waited another 20mins after we recieved ours. A lady im guessing was a duty manager (sunita) wasnt very helpful, i asked her for something and twice she said 2mins i will send a waitress over i also watched her do this to a few other customers.
The food was beautiful as always although i think the size has gotten smaller .
The place looks awesome ! Great upgrade to the restaurant!
C.Food is okay and the place is somewhat clean. Some tables were left with dirty plates for a while after people left and there was food on the floor. The staff however are friendly and served us in a timely manner
A.2021 Early, New Years eats at Denny's Restaurant. At one stage the line was snaking around then it went through the doors : ) All went well until 1am, when the sundae didn't arrive it eventually turned up onto our table at 1.45am. We left at 2am people were still arriving at Denny's in Manukau City Auckland New Zealand.
Busy busy busy!!
m.Not sure if your name is Tania , Seen your name on my receipt lastnight! But Anyways to the waitress who took me & my aunties order lastnight , Thank you so much for your kind service. So welcoming & food was great thank you. :).
S.Got breakfast here today and a coffee. This place is great. Meals were served quite quickly and tasted as expected, coffee was great, cups are of decent size. Waitress was very friendly. Plenty of parking. Recommended. 4 stars as bathrooms do need a bit of TLC.
J.Food was good. Not great. This use to be my regular spot up until 3yrs ago before I moved overseas. So nice to see alot of it hasnt changed except for the food. I also noticed a couple of upgrades with the menu and chairs. The service is excellent. I'd return on that alone. The staff are so lovely and friendly. I miss this kind of service. Why does it seem like it's becoming so hard to find...sigh. keep it up Dennys... hope you dont change too much more.
F.I keep coming back for the pork ribs. So tender and so satisfying. The all day breakfast is also unique.
d.The yummiest fastest dessert place 🥰
M.Just had a recent renovation and the place looks wonderful. Food was great and service was above average due to it being very busy. Service machines were down so had to pay manually. Good night overall. Thank you Dennys!
L.Really good! I was surprised cos I had heard bad reports. Service was curtious and great. We were there for breakfast & the variety was massive, fresh with big servings.
T.If there was a "half" i would give 2.5 stars.
Havent been here for a few years and sadly it looks worse with the outdated & tired decor, stained & ripped seats/upholstery. Indian waiter was NOT welcoming & we felt like we were an inconvenience for her having to take our orders. But another indian waiter who brought our food - she was smiley & friendly. Food was Ok, I ordered the spicy chicken tortilla which wasnt spicy at all & the "crunchy" tortilla was soft & a bit soggy.
Overall better than what I expected but I wont be returning any time soon.
T.Great food n great staff
p.Not a very Big Pork steak, disappointing
K.Average food. Average service. Not that great. Snapper and chips... Fish burnt. Garlic bread never arrived...had to remind twice. Could be better
G.First time at this Denny's. Food never disappoints, always tastes amazing. Highly recommend the Apricot Chicken. Service attendants are very friendly and work efficiently. Great restaurant for family get togethers and catchups with friends.
B.They have really upped thier game. Looks like new management. Only gripe was having to remind the waitresses that we wanted water and needed extra utensils but far better from my last visit a couple years ago.
J.Good service and good food. Will go back
A.Good quality food at a good price. My friends and I got garden salad, ribs and wedges (with cheese and bacon) and shared it between 3 for lunch. Was perfect, not too much and not too little. We split our 3 desserts too, so we could try everything. Sticky date toffee pudding was delish, no dates in sight, small, but its very sweet, so you wouldn't want more. And choc mudcake was a hit too, a huge serving. And the bread and butter pudding is yum yum yum!
T.Wasn't that cheap but that burger I got was beautiful. Definitely do it again if I can afford it
P.Quite pricy for the result. Only a few dollars more gets you some decent kai. But if you come here you do get the diner experience. Orders were a little mixed up and some came to the table late. But staff were happy to fix things quickly. Personally I've stopped going here but it was part of a group dinner this time.
A.Havent been to denny's in manukau in about 10 years so was pleasantly surprised when we ate there a couple nights ago. The menu has been updated so a few new dishes. Price was reasonable. Wait time for our dinner and dessert was really quick. There were 6 of us with main courses and Desserts that were all delivered in approx 20 mins even though the restaraunt was full and it was approx 10pm at night.
L.Only went there because ww had no other place to go
L.We randomly went at around 11pm on Wednesday without a booking. It was packed as but we were seated within 15mins. Staff working that night were awesomely on to it and must be the A team. Fluid workers and it seems they can pick up where anyone left off and maintain high level customer service. The food was delicious and timely. Would defz go again for a casual midnight feast!!
T.The service was lovely, food arrived fast and it was delicious. Second time in a row they had stepped up and made it an enjoyable experience. A few visits prior to these were not so great but they seemed to have improved a lot. Definitely will return 😀😁
U.15Jun17 Surprisingly good friendly service with fast cooking and delivery to our table. Our Polynesian waitress had a photographic memory. Interesting to watch our waitress in action taking orders from our table of 13 without a single fault. Even more interesting to observe our waitress correctly placing the dishes and drinks in front of our 13 diners. Good mains dishes served hot.
m.Thank you so much Michaela for the hospitality and for just being kind ,you made coming to dennys on my birthday great .😊 and to the lovely lady that made my coffee and gave us a extra sour cream to take a away lol 😊. They need more people like you in restaurants
G.A perfectly adequate family-friendly restaurant. The food is ok, the prices are ok. It's close to Rainbows End, which is convenient after a big day on the rides. It can be pretty loud if there are lots of people in, but it does also have some cool fish to look at.
It's not cuisine dining, but if you're looking to fill the gap, and even have a quiet beer with dinner, this place has got you.
T.I love Dennys, good value and consistent meal quality. The staff were a little lethargic, had trouble hearing and understanding our server she was mumbling and then she disappeared? Otherwise it was awesome
V.The food was delicious, however we waited for a while to order, one girl was cleaning up and she kept calling two others to come out and take our order but they kept talking and hugging. We're regular customers and I think they're new workers but some one needs to remind them that they're at work😁
C.Eggs benedict and hash brown wasnt too good the sauce over powers everything else on the plate however the kids grand slam was awesome!
M.Always heard of Denys in pop culture so had to give a try when i was in New Zealand recently. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. There was a good varietly of food on the menu and all our plates were cooked well and well presented. While its not going to k ock your socks of its a good feed. Maybe best at the end of a big night on the town
M.Great food and great staff. We went here for breakfast and it wasn't too crowded. They have redecorated and now its a lot more open and comfortable. Recommended for a great meal.
G.Good hearty breakfast, great staff. A regular catch up for breakfast
W.We always like to go to Dennys for a birthday meal, as if it's the day of the birthday, and the birthday person has their ID showing their birthday and is accompanied by at least one other paying person, then the lesser value mains or mains to the same value if they're the same, is free. But we usually go as a group anyway. It's very nice that they do that. Great food and excellent service. Can just walk in, as they don't take reservations, it's first in first serve. And they are 24/7. Great one Dennys!
T.Great service however you'd expect to get real butter not margarine when you pay $11 for 3 pieces of French toast. The Cracker Jack in my opinion is still the best value for money fills me up and good because it comes with the free coffee and refills👍
U.I've been going to Denny's Manukau for at least 20 years. Never had a complaint until Saturday. It took a very long time for food to arrive & my favourite dish (Chilli Fries) was warm & dry. Staff service is always exceptional though & I didn't need to pay for my Chilli Fries. Thank you for the quick remedy Denny's, I will definitely be back because of they way you handled it. Thank you !
J.We had a very nice meal here. Our meals were very large, tasted great and were also great value. Service was fast and staff were very well trained, polite and pleasent . We could not fault anything with our experience here. Thanks for a great meal Denny's :)
E.A good place to go to after hours
l.I always forget to review everytime I go here, but here goes because I don't have anything else to do/a life apparently. Manukau branch is always busy in the evenings. If there is a big concert or event happening in the area--be prepared to wait as 10 other families will have the same idea as you. Nothing wrong with that. The food's pretty average and you're after a quick bite.
Also staff need to please stop badmouthing their customers, it's unprofessional even if your reasons maybe justified. Some of us are actually fluent in Samoan and understand all the things you're saying about *insert ethnicity here* customer. Sometimes it's racist. I understand the need to vent but save that for your breaks because people know when they're being talked about even if they don't understand. You're not as subtle as you think you are.
Keep on keeping on, Denny's.
J.Coffee refills didn't come through often, always a great place to catch up with people, but tables too far from chair, can get a sore back of your there for hours
p.Love the coffee. Quick service too
V.Food was okay. Service is excellent 👌
S.Has recently undergone major renovations including the carpark area and is now very up to date and a pleasure to eat in.Staff are very friendly and food is tasty and well presented. .the best place to take the whole family including very little ones.
A.Great service in a busy 24hr restaurant filled with very diverse crowds -creating an easy/chill-out atmosphere.
E.This place was ok, however when you order an appetizer and a main, you would expect they would stagger the 2 courses. Not here, they brought all the dishes out at once. This was shocking and frankly disappointing!! In saying that, the food was average.
E.Good food, good prices and open all hours. Great place to take your time.
l.Decided to go there for breakfast today. Food is ok .Friendly staff. Unfortunately no sausages with one order. Still paid full price, no deduction for leaving sausages off the plate. No offer of a refund. Not good customer service at all for the Manukau branch.
b.Absolutely beautiful food great staff it was our first time as a family eating at Denny's haven't had a yummy meal like that in a long time and pricing was amazing highly recommend!!
B.Was ok.... Lots of patrons and short staff??? Food was edible but too oily/greasy. I would go back as this was 1st time experiencing sub-par food, I put it down to staff shortage and they did the best they could with what they had....
O.Partner ordered the T-bone, have never had a steak so melt in your mouth, it was incredible. I was a bit dissapointed in my pork ribs as there was more sauce than meat but overall experience was awesome
R.Awesome food ,was my birthday so my food was free,fast service ,I would go back again
M.It's the Dennys I always go to since moving here. And it's the closest one. Still could use some customer service improvement. Staff could smile a bit more and make you feel more welcomed. Definitely different from the American Dennys I am used to though. I feel awkward every time. Food is good though and inexpensive. Only reason I keep coming back.
B.Could've been better service. Not really organized with the staff working. We got two of everything we ordered because it was so un organized
E.Bangers and mash, an all time favourite was so nice after a long day of filming at a venue close by. Awesome.
j.Great service and awesome night out with my son, looking forward to another visit
L.Wow just went back last week new paint job since the covid lockdown everything has changed even inside lol so has the prices
T.Dishes are always consistent. Pretty happy to dine here with fams for a casual one.
A.The food at the spot is play.. Nothing that stands out.. The service however is world class.. I had an Irish coffee which was the very good. I recommend the place if you would like a place to re relax and away from the city
S.I think sometimes Denny's gets a bad rap because it's not flash. But I went there in the early morning at the end of a night shift and really enjoyed it, there's good value for money in the food and the portion size.
J.The food was good, but the wait was very long and cutlery was forgotten twice. Don't mind waiting, however that not great when you're with children. Waiting staff very pleasant.
M.Never been to one before. Some of the food combinations are interesting but I write enjoyed my apricot chicken. You won't go hungry here with large meal portions
R.Great meals plus it was birthday so I ate for free
m.Usually go into the Manukau restuarant after midnight, place is usually pretty pack but the staff will push everyone through pretty quick.
Good waiting staff, good timing on food arrival, quality food, no complaints in the 20 or so years I've been there.
L.Denny is good value for money restaurant. It is not fancy place for dating. It is good place catch up friends and family for early morning tea, lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner, late dine. Hamburger, fish chips, deep fried stuff, steak, lamb, chicken and Asian meals are also available, as well as nice dessert all at reasonable price. It provides free filtered coffee for all breakfast meal, available 24 hrs. Denny is open 24/7. Plenty of parkings are available. $2 public holiday surcharge apply to all customers.
A.filling experience, BUT lots of carbs! and not enough protein!!
M.Foods mediocre. Hardly come here anymore. Price doesnt much the quality of food. Only thing I'd give 5 starts is the Hot Fudge Cake.
Customer service is always always good though.
D.Such fast efficient service with a smile . Dined here 11/11 at 20.50 -Just had burgers and chips and a dessert all of which was fresh and delicious. Our order was promptly taken and served within ten minutes . Friendly staff too
P.Food and service great for the price. However when I presented my phone with my Denny's card details they told me that they have to swipe the card and cannot scan it!! Come on Denny's get your act together- technology!! Not happy about this!!!
T.Great food with great service. Would definitely come back
P.Always a go to for us.. food was out within 30mins and it was quite a busy morning.
S.Awesome wide range of food, available 24/7 . Service was okay, but not outstanding, because there we only two tables with customers at the time. Decor getting dated and needs some repairs.
R.Understaffed, so the place is always looking trashy. Staff are constantly trying their best juggling between serving customers, cleaning the restaurant and serving meals.
Food standard is the same here as it is NZ wide with Denny's. Food is good nothing fancy. It's enough to do the job. I go mainly for desert myself and the prices are a bit higher than your standard restaurant for the quality of food being served.
It's always busy at Manukau branch. The two best Denny's spots in Auckland are in New Lynn or Highland Park.
New Lynn and Highland Park Denny's are either well staffed or just aren't as busy as the Manukau branch cause they're both always looking clean, we get served right away, empty dishes being removed not long after and I feel like I'm being looked after.
Denny's in the CBD is similar to Manukau.
