| - As I always aspire to be, I'll be fair in starting this review off with a nugget of honesty. My friend who I was eating with when I went here asked me during the meal why when asked if things were ok by the waiter/waitress and it wasn't, why we almost always reply that it is? My answer was along the lines of "Because we're Canadian and that's how Canadians do it" which due to our passive aggressive tendencies, I'm afraid is true, but I also added that if I didn't think the poor quality of a meal was an anomaly and it was due to the food being the way it was supposed to be and me simply not liking it, then I wouldn't complain because I'd never be back. I think you can see where this is going.
The service was pretty good. The waitress in our section was covering too many tables and I could tell she was tired, so I won't hold that against her and as I said, she was still friendly. I think this is a family run franchise and so I'll also say stuffing may be limited because they're trying to keep costs low. Anyhow, that's not the issue.
It's Denny's, I get it, but the Slamburger I ordered had so little flavor in it that I wondered if I had turned off my tastebuds. It seems like it should be a good combo: bacon, hash browns, egg over easy and a burger patty, but it's got nothing to it. I added salt and pepper on the patty and it was better but this was the blandest burger I'd had in awhile. The fries are okay, a weird crinkle cut steak fry but tasted okay. The rest was awful.
I didn't complain because as previously mentioned, this is how I feel it was meant to be. It's odd because the patty looked freshly made and like it would be flavorful but it wasn't. The bun was too weak to hold this much food. It had no sauce to make it tastier either.
Unless you're stuck at 4am and can't make the distance to Some other burger joint, I'd take a pass on Denny's.
