| - What can I tell you? I'm a big Denny's fan. I've done my gourmet brunch places and breakfast chain restaurant thing and I think Denny's will always have a soft spot in my heart. No, this is not your aunties and uncles, petite dejeuner, swan...etc, people. Nor is this your Cora's or Sunset grill chains, either. It's your simple, down-to-earth breakfast for families at a reasonable price kinda place. Hooray to that!
I like the fact that their no non-sense breakfast menu is so extensive that you feel like a kid in a candy store. When you go out for breakfast/brunch with kids, I find that variety and price is key to satisfaction and Denny's definitely knows how to deliver in both departments.
I've tried their Calgary & Whitby locations as well as this one in Mississauga, and as it should be at well-run chain restaurants, quality of food/presentation/price/service is completely within expectation. I hate how places like Cora's, Eggsmart, Eggspectation...etc try to pass themselves off as higher end than what they really are by having fancy fruit decorations and charging $13+ for a plate of breakfast combos. No, Denny's will serve you the same quality of food, larger portions for much less.
We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids (4 & 7). We ordered coffee/juice/milk, the adults had 2, lumberjack breakfasts, Moons-over-my-hammy breakfast sandwich combo, blueberry pancake meal and 2, children's pancake meal ($3.29 includes 3 generous kids size pancakes with a sausage and a strip of bacon). With a very generous tip to our hard-working server, the bill came to $90 which is ridiculously reasonable by any Sunday brunch standards. We left the restaurant with full bellies and a happy wallet. What more could you ask for??
