Why Bacon Still Has a Grip on Restaurants Everywhere | Bon Appétit

"A nationwide diner chain whose maple bacon sundae became shorthand for the excesses of bacon mania and is cited as an example of a novelty item that some diners might now feel embarrassed to be seen eating." - ByAli Francis

Highly recommended!! Best place where i ate in honolulu! Very nice atmosphere with jazz music in the background, really kind staff and all the quality of the food is excellent, the meat is juicy and the combinations with the side dishes are excellent. I can't wait to go back!! :)

Our go to breakfast in Waikiki. Shout out to our regular waitress Alyssa (beep beep) who embodied the Aloha spirit. A bit of a hidden gem down the end of the street we could always get a table no problem. Their breakfast so delicious and filling. Perhaps underappreciated as a restaurant always available to those on the mainland. For international visitors who don't have Dennys in their country a must try! Their milkshakes also delicious and great value, refills the glass 2 to 3 times. Their dinner meals also brilliant, particularly the Bourbon skillet chicken on a bed of vegetables.

Being from Australia we don't have diners. This was like a traditional diner,like in a movie. Food was huge serves. Everyone enjoyed what they had. Nachos were very good. steak,and a club sandwich both great.

It was hard for me to eat at a Denny's while we were at the island with all this good food around. I am so glad we did. They have local foods and my day started instantly better with the outstanding service we received from our waitress Alyssa. 5 star service. What a treasure for Dennys. How somebody can serve every table, keep everything flowing smooth and still have time to communicate with the guests is beyond me. I'd eat here just for the service, but the food is always good.

I had a lovely experience at this Denny's for breakfast. Good value for us +55 folks in a very expensive atmosphere. Coffee was fresh and good. Staff was efficient. I'll be back, as I come to Honolulu about every 4 to 6 weeks at least. Keep up the good work

One of my good local friends likes eating here all the time so whenever I'm on the Island I join him and this Denny's never disappoints. Love that there's always seating available. All the staff is genuinely friendly but wanted to give a special shout out Alyssa who served us the last two times we went and always goes above and beyond :) 5 Stars for sure

Staying at the Marriott down the street, decided visit Denny’s our first morning here at Waikiki and glad we did. Place is conveniently located just a 4 minute walk away, clean and good food typical of any Denny’s. Where things stood out was with our server Alex, awesome guy, very friendly and super efficient. Order was accurate, fast, and yummy. Give Alex a raise, dude deserves it!

Hey Yelpers! Cletus here for a Denny's Waikīkī review! Sometimes breakfast for dinner can be much tastier! This is one of my favorite places to eat if I find myself in Waikiki! Dennys, located by the Honolulu Zoo has a small parking lot behind the restaurant. It's usually never full during the later hours I like to go at. Of course, parking is free! Here's what I ordered! Photos shown... Strawberry crepes, hash browns, egg whites, and bacon. Everything on this plate was amazing, so flavorful! The strawberry crepes were so creamy, and having fresh strawberries on top ties the strawberry sauce in perfectly! The bacon and eggs are standard but still very tasty and definetly tie the meal together! Finally, those hash browns! I love them! So crispy, so flavorful, I could eat the whole stock if they let me! The service is great although it can be a little slow. It seems not too many workers on the night shift. However the server I usually get is such a DOLL! She really is very friendly especially for working a night shift! Please react to my post if you Yelpers found this helpful, also looking for new friends! Thanks!

Visited while on vacation. I am ultimately disappointed. It seemed like our waiter was ignoring us, i tried to chop it up as a busy waiter but the restaurant was half empty. My food set in the window waiting for pickup. When food arrived for other family members my complaint seemed minor. The crate we order was half folded with heavy strawberry filling slapped on it. The burger was one cook short of a heartbeat. It came raw in the middle. The manager was supper sweet. Came and tried to make it right. She said she would personally redo our our order. Her actions spoke volumes.

We stoped by Dennys because it was the only restaurant open, great food. amazing crew over all-- Michael is a great hostess who greeted us with a smile & showed us to our table-- Alyssa was our server she was the best, attention to detail & very polite! Love to see the way they multiple task & work as a team! Will most definitely come back again for the food and for the great customer service!

Two stars because I believe in customer service! The food is just food. It was super busy at the time I get it, but our server claims she was new, I get it! Josie seems to be having a bad day! My wife wanted eggs Benny but wanted the English muffin on the side and she just looked like we asked for something that wasn't on the menu... she then went to the back to ask if possible and yelled " I have a backwards order" lol, wtf! She then leaned in to two other employees to tell them how my wife wanted her order. Very unprofessional Josie... Not to mention my order didn't have the toast, no coffee refills and waited almost 30 minutes just to get our bill to pay! Just an awful experience! Place was packed when we arrived but was clean.

Awesome affordable late night food spot with a very large selection of dishes. There are two Dennys locations in Waikiki. I often gravitate towards this one due to the easier and more straight forward parking. I have been to this Dennys several times and have had very different experiences. My most recent time dining in at Dennys (related to the images attached below), my experience had its ups and downs. When we walked in it seemed like the waitresses were trying to pass us onto someone else, one was telling another to take us while the other one was hesitant. Not off to the best start. We got to our table and tried to decide on what to order, I was indecisive so it took a while and it seemed to slightly upset my waitress despite warning her that I may take a bit to decide. The ambiance is like a nice American dining establishment. Nothing stood out, good or bad. The food was awesome, we all got something quite indulgent for the night and devoured it all. - Mac & Cheese Brisket Skillet: Delicious, the mac n cheese was creamy tasted like the boxed but no one complained. The brisket was good as well, slightly less tender than we had hoped for but the dish was overall very good. - Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger: I replaced the regular bacon with turkey bacon and the whole burger was as sooo delicious. The bun was perfectly toasted and buttery and the patty was very juicy as well. The most recent time I've been to Denny's was for takeout only. The cashier was super sweet and nice, not only conversing with us but other customers going in and out of the establishment. Other dishes I ordered on TAKEOUT on another day: - Wild Alaskan Salmon x2: SO GOOD, never thought DENNYS out of all places would have such a good fish dish, probably my go to now if I was to come back and isn't craving something too heavy. Me and my partner both destroyed this in a heartbeat. - Zesty Nachos: Mediocre, my partner was CRAVING some nachos and ordered this. Craving was satisfied according to him but I just felt like it was just lacking flavor, not enough meat for SURE. Overall, would go back again when I am craving a late night bite and is near. I would recommend having a general idea of what your order might be so you don't test the patience of the waitresses HAH, especially with the large menu, it could be quite overwhelming.

I forgot how great a Denny's breakfast can be. Took my dad here for a late breakfast. We got a table in less than 5 minutes. My dad got the moons over my hammy, which is a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. It was a huge portion and my dad could only eat half. I got eggs, over easy, redskin potatoes, and 4 slices of turkey bacon. Paired it with a cup of coffee. Today's breakfast was simple, but hit the spot for both of us. Our server, Alyssa, was great too! We'll be back.

Went for lunch yesterday. We got the mozzarella sticks, the berry waffles, my son got Mac and cheese with a side of bacon and my brother and I Ordered the smash burger. He got a double and I added avocado. I took a couple bites of the smash burger and noticed there wasn't any avocado. I opened up the burger and made sure. When the server comes back to check If everything was ok I told her my burger doesn't have avocado but that's ok but to make sure I'm not charged for it. She asked if I was sure and offers to bring the burger back so they can add the avocado but I declined and then she says she can bring the avocado out and I tell her that's ok. She later comes back with the avocado and says her boss tells her to bring it out. I thank her and we enjoy the rest of our meal. My son really loved the mozzarella sticks and my brother and I really liked the berry waffles. It had so much flavor. The burgers were also good. I get the check and she charged me for the avocado. I was annoyed but didn't say anything cause it was only 1.79 to add on. BUT the fact is when she offered it I declined twice telling her it was ok and to just make sure I wasn't charged. And she brought it out anyway "because my boss told me to bring it out."

Absolutely butt fuckery of a place. Got the Smoked brisket mac and cheese skillet, it was like 5 bites of mac and cheese and 5 pieces of rough hard brisket. Almost as if they sifted out the big pieces of corned beef in the can and grilled it for an hour. waited about half an hour for it and paid 22 dollars for this absolute mess and pile of garbage. Would not recommend anyone to get this. wasn't a mistake because my friend next to me got the exact same thing and received the same food said same exact thing.

Labor Day brunch at Denny's, lez go... Came here almost 2pm, greeted upon entering & seated immediately. They're not that busy so things went smoothly. Food: Loaded Veggie Omelette - typical American breakfast and I enjoyed it sm! The mushrooms, tomato, roasted bell pepper, Swiss cheese and spinach all there and making my omelette extra special. Egg is cooked just right and perfectly paired with biscuit. Got a side of seasonal fruit & I am glad that they're cut fresh and no molds at all. Buttermilk Pancakes - been a while since I have buttermilk pancakes and I didn't realize how I missed it so much.m until I have my first bite. It was served hot. It was buttery and fluffy, really really good and I enjoyed it. T'was a simple dish yet it gives me happiness while I was eating it! Strawberry Pancake Puppies - yummy ender! They're bland tbh but the dipping sauce makes it taste good. It was sweet and at that time I like it. It has a good crunch outside but a bit tough from the inside. It may not be the best dessert but still good enough to have something sweet at the end. Strawberry Banana Smoothie - PERFECTION! This is the only thing I am excited for. Lol. I don't know, since I have it from the first time I felt in love with it. So without a second thought, this smoothie is two thumbs up for me! Overall the experience was great. Alex our wonderful server was so nice and patience. Though they forgot to serve the butter for our toast & biscuit, t'was all still good. I will surely be back for my smoothie here! Lol Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!

I ordered food from this location. Moons over my hammy. Had it delivered. I literally got three bites of hash browns. I literally paid $30. Never again.

very rude waiters and slow service. 0/10 for the fact that she gave us attitude and did not give us almost any of the things we asked for. Not busy and yet still somehow mad, ridiculous.

I came to have a grand slam since I had a coupon for a discounted grand slam. There were people coming and going. The food took a long time to come out of the kitchen. The waitress for the booth behind me kept apologizing for the long wait. It wasn't that full. I was seated quickly but it took a while for my order to be taken. When the food arrived only one bacon was crispy and it was joined to the second bacon that was not crispy at all. It even bent in half when I held one end. I asked for crispy bacon but I guess it's a difficult request. The over easy eggs were half over easy. One egg the yolk looked partially like a hard boiled egg. The yolk was a lighter yellow. The sausage was tasty and the pancakes were nice and light. I heard a waiter yell out for someone not to take his order. Maybe that's what happened to my order. It wasn't as good as I would have liked since they are known for breakfast. At least I was able to find a space to park.

I'm not a huge fan of Denny's, but since it was literally around the corner from where our hotel was, why not. Our server that evening was lost. She almost forgot our drinks, miscounted the silverware that was needed, and also wasn't comprehending what our orders were after having to explain it 3 times. When our sampler was brought out, it would have been nice to be informed that they ran out of onion rings that evening, instead of just replacing it with more fries and then admitting to us that she forgot to order the extra tenders we had to explain to her about 3 times. Overall the food was okay. Very salty and a reminder as to why I don't come to Denny's in the first place.

I've had good experiences with this dennys in the past. Serving staff are fantastic, but the quality of the food was awful. Ordered a T-Bone steak and eggs, steak was RAW. Had an okay sear, but the steak was RAW. Also ordered a moons over my hammy sandwich, potatoes on the side, potatoes were damp, overcooked, and very disappointing. Also ordered a sampler platter, and the mozzarella sticks were not completely fried. The cheese inside was completely solid. 0/10 dining experience

Free pancakes from the T-Mobile Tuesdays app... T-Mobile is very good to their customers because each week, we get free schwag, discounts from certain companies, and free food and drinks from different restaurants. Sometimes, the restaurants or businesses such as Tropical Smoothie and Atom Tickets (for discounted movies) aren't available in the 50th State. That's why I jumped on these pancakes! This past week, we had an offer for a free short stack of "It's Bananas" Salted Caramel Pancakes. It's an offer that I couldn't refuse because we have Denny's in Hawaii. I always wanted to go to the Denny's on the busy corner of Kuhio Avenue and Kapahulu Avenue in Waikiki. I've driven past it many times - and I noticed the free parking lot (enter from Kuhio Avenue). As expected, this Denny's was VERY busy. There was only one parking spot left in the lot. Even though it was a bit rainy, the reception area was full. So many customers were paying their separate checks and a large family was waiting to be seated. After a few minutes, the manager (I think she was a manager) showed me to a table, brought me a glass of iced water and a menu. Wow... So many options! I thought that I should get a side of bacon to balance the sweetness of the pancakes. Haha! She offered me a choice of two or four pieces of bacon... Two, please! It was a wonderful breakfast! I enjoyed the crunchy toppings on the pancakes and fresh banana slices, combined with a fluffy marshmallow type of sauce. The pancakes were moist and bouncy - yum! I wouldn't mind returning to this Denny's! I liked the Hawaiian pictures on the wall and the local Aloha-style service at this "American Diner". Thanks to Denny's and T-Mobile Tuesdays! P.S. I saw rice on the menu!

TL;DR service was slow, food was cold and dried. I was surprised to see how poor the service was here, but my main complaint is on the food. The food came out separately and was all plated poorly. The flavor was very bland, especially compared to other Dennys. We came as a party of 5 and the food came out all at once. However, they forgot one of my friend's meals and the food was all cold and gross when it came out. If you've ever had chicken fried steak before with gravy.. you'll know that the gravy is only good warm, or else it coagulates and ruins the meal. Not only this, but the presentation and everything with the meal was only half effort. Definitely do not recommend coming here.

Stopped by after a show at 11:00 pm, this place is hopping! No parking in the small lot, but we easily found parking on Kapahulu Ave. Our server was friendly and professional, and taking care of lots of tables at once. Food came out hot, and exactly what we expected. Great value for good food. Casual vibes, and everyone was so patient in the restaurant. We will be back for sure!

Dennys Visited 30 December 2022, just after 1pm The dinner is strategically located on the corner right across from the zoo, not too far from the beach, and a short walk from some major hotels. We visited after our trip to the zoo. Everything was going well. Our party of 4 were greeted and seated promptly. We each ordered and when it was time for my mother to order, the waitress, Jehanna, informed her that she can order from the 55+ menu, which would be smaller portions at a cheaper rate. My mother opted for this option. The food came out in a timely manner. However, this is when everything else soured. Three of the four orders were correct: philly cheese steak omlet, half zesty Nachos, and chicken fried chicken with 2 eggs. My mother ordered salmon but got what looked like Mahi-mahi or chicken instead. When she informed the waitress of the error, she just stated "oh I didn't know" and walked away. So, we assumed she was going to correct the order. But, it was strange that she left the wrong plate in place. After about 10 minutes she had not brought the salmon plate so we had to flag her down. Again, when we asked if she put in the order for the salmon, she said "oh" and wanted to leave the plate with the sides that were now cold. My mother asked her to take the plate since she wanted hot sides when the salmon came out. From the time our food came out to when she came to take the incorrect order, she did not check on the rest of us. It seems like she was avoiding our table at this point. She never came back to our table to check on us until she brought out the new order with salmon. We also ordered a t-bone steak dinner to-go, which came shortly afterwards. At this point she asked if we were interested in desert. We were not so we just asked for our bill. Hopefully this is an isolated incident and the waitress doesn't just disregard other guest's orders like ours was.

Look, coming here on vacation with a toddler is hard, even harder when they consider themselves the world's pickiest eater. As parents, we are extremely thankful that we can walk across the street from our hotel & get what our toddler eats - macaroni and cheese with fruit. It's straight to the point & she ate it all. I picked up a chicken Cobb with honey mustard dressing for myself & it did NOT disappoint. The dressing is sooooo good. The salad was huge, and yes I devoured it all. The women at the counter were super sweet & welcoming. The oldies music while we waited for our takeout order was top notch. They were playing songs featured on Fallout (the Prime series) Thank you guys for having a location here for those who need food options that we could easily find in the mainland- sometimes it's needed.

This restaurant has gone so far downhill it's not worth going to anymore. They send you emails promoting their value menu then when you go there to order something they say you have to buy something off the regular menu to get something off the value menu. So now if I want an everyday slam I have to buy a regular breakfast first. Oh and don't try on the weekend... you can't order off the value menu on the weekend. What a bunch of jokers. Hey Dennys, if you're going to promote your "value menu" maybe you should actually allow your customers to order something off it. But they will give you an everyday slam if it's your birthday! I'm not kidding...this is what they say to you. Cheapskates! Offering a value menu you really can't order off of. Rinky dink embarrassing outfit! Oh and their $3.99 for a cup of coffee is pretty steep but if it's hot and fresh you don't mind because it really is very good. But again 4 out of the last 5 times I ordered coffee it was lukewarm, old, burnt, or just plain disgusting. Dennys if you're gonna charge $3.99 for a cup of coffee, it better be a good cup of coffee NOT the crap you serve your customers. Good bye forever LOSERS!

Was out walking around and decided to hit dennys for dinner. It was over all a bad experience. Larger parties seated after myself got there food right away I had to wait like 15 mins longer than expected. Then when I got my appetizers the boneless Buffalo wings had one little drop of sauce on one of the 5 wings, all the other wings were sauceless. Then our entrées showed up and they both seemed pretty over cooked the waffles were hard and the brisket Mac I got them as really gross. Meat was like a burnt rock and there wasn't much Mac like the menu was showing. Overall waste of 65$, staff didn't seem to care about the situation. I'd expect this from a restaurant that was busy but it was dead. Definitely not going back to this location.

Service is good, staff friendly as they are dealing with a lot of tourists. The prices are not too high priced and it's like comfort food. Lots of combos to choose from. The place is well lit and right across from the Honolulu Zoo so you can sit and relax after seeing the zoo or the beach.

You can rely on Denny's - it is usually consistent and tasty. So we knew pretty much what we would get when we walked in the door... Moons Over My Hammy is such a classic, but the selection was so extensive I decided to get chicken fried steak with two sides from the 55 and older menu. A total bargain! In addition, the gentleman who seated us was very friendly, and our server was also. In fact, we were so pleased we agreed that it might be our best meal of the trip so far. The restaurant was clean and comfortable.

19 January 2024 (Waikiki Denny's) So, I order a Denver omelette and a glass of water. I noticed the glass looked a little frosty. It wasn't until I quickly drank the water that I noticed it wasn't frost but gunk!!! I let the manager know and he thanks me for informing him. Don't eat here!!! If I get sick, I'm definitly pressing charges.

The new menu is very descriptive....I ordered the super bird, and notice the picture comes with onion rings. When our waitress took our order, I asked if I can get just regular wavy fries. She said it was an additional cost, and I was like watever I wanted fries. When she delivered our order, I saw the onions rings and I was like I asked for fries. And she was like will I already charge you, and you'll love it. I'm not criticizing the service, but it was lacking. I will almost I should of read the menu more closely. So just be careful when you order at Denny, cause now they are just trying to trivet you.

Not sure how this location would get 5 stars, but from my direct experience... it's not something that would be deserving. You know it's bad, if I walked out after dealing with management that personally picked me out of a large group that I was with. Idk if the manager just had a terrible day and was off his game, but personal or work issues should be set aside when dealing with customers. I will never come back or suggest this location. Hopefully, they would have customer service training more geared towards resolving issues fairly.

TL;DR: NO. Just no. Until they really reevaluate and make legit changes. Please save yourself the disappointment, take your money and throw it off the balcony instead---------- Y'all know that Cyndi Lauper song? Time after time. This Denny be disappointing me ALL THE TIME, TIME AFTER TIME. Like braaaaaaaah. I've tried my best to be non-biased and reevaluate my beliefs in the integrity on the quality of food here. We've order from here a few more times after that first horrendous incident I wrote about previously. Most recently the dude and I ordered a mobile 'take-out for pick-up' order at this location. To save ourselves the crazy 30+ minute wait in store (experienced before, when we went in store to order take-out). The good part about mobile order is that it gives you an "estimated time" of when the food is finished. Then you can go pick it up when it's ready. I have concluded the hash browns here are complete trash. I always imagine 'crispy and golden' hash browns. Ideally, a reasonable person would argue this is how hash browns are meant to be, right? The ones from here are cooked on such a high temperature that they were nearly burnt on the outside. And not done on the inside. The innards were soggy and raw potatoe-y. The "cooked looking" outside was just for show, because more than 70% was uncooked. LOL. "Hey Bixby, can someone die from eating raw potatoes left in the temperature 'danger zone'?" Cause my boy Jon Taffer on Bar Rescue advocates for FOOD SAFETY all the time. DON'T GET PEOPLE SICK! It's a big ask here... kinda sad right? Then my dude likes dem 'Zesty Nachos' from here. And each time we ordered them, they came out different. Like missing integral parts of the ingredients listed in the item description. This isn't exclusive to just the nachos, every menu item can experience this, indiscriminately. LMFAO. WHAT IS QUALITY CONTROL? FOLLOWING MENU DESCRIPTIONS WHERE? Cause we don't know here sis *sassy girl hands emoji* So these nachos, they're s u p p o s e d to be comprised of 1) tortilla chips, 2) pepper jack queso, 3) cheddar cheese, 4) seasoned nacho meat, 5) pico de gallo, and 6) sour cream. That's six ingredients I'm counting listed from the description on the Denny's website. Our orders have came missing the seasoned nacho meat or the sour cream. Looking at all the other reviews made recently, I don't see this location of Denny's changing for the better any time soon. Don't order from here. You're welcome :)

If you come at lunch they may or may not have lunch food lol. We were here at 11:30am but they could not offer the lunch menu due to short staff. They actually couldn't even offer the entire breakfast menu lol. We couldn't even order flavored pancakes. Only the original plain pancakes were available lol. It was pretty sad but no issues with my meal. The food was hot and came out pretty fast. I was impressed with that considering they were short staffed in the kitchen.

Every single time we want a late night meal, we always head to this Denny's first! Not only is the food spot on each time... our server Christina is what makes the entire meal! She is always welcoming, warm, and treats each interaction with care to ensure that we get the best service that we can. Highly recommend coming to get late night grindz and good vibes overall!

Came on a Sunday morning about 10. Got seated right away. Got our orders in right away. We had the country fried steak, Denver omelet, and the stuffed strawberry French toast. Coffees and chocolate milk came and soon after our food. Our food was hot. The omelet was a bit overstuffed with the ham and such but we will just bring it home for leftovers. Hashbrown wasn't as brown as we're used to, but that's okay too. We really appreciated the service. Always makes for a better experience.

It's a long wait (after ordering) for food that's been sitting a while. In other words, the service is lousy.

I have been a follower of Denny's for years and when the Denny's at the Corner of Kuhio Avenue and Kapahalulu Avenue opened up, I got really excited about it. Unfortunately, they struggled for a long time on getting their ACT together in every aspect. Last month, I visited them again and I must say, they are doing much, much better. The quality of food is great, the place is kept clean and organized and the servers are finally well trained to the point that one does not have to remind them to bring forks and knives. I highly recommend it and I hope they continue on this path of great service, great food and great ambiance. Thumbs up!

This is a very different experience! Super awesome waitress Christina! Friendly the moment we walked into the door! Greeted us, brought water, and served is well! Food was good. Wish the breakfast sausage was better. We'll be back. Mahalo

Best hashbrowns ever. Chris makes them almost perfect but today TRIMA made them extra crunching (I asked) and they were! Also a server we hadn't seen before and she gets 100%. We told her what we wanted and she gave us a choice of potatoes. Didn't know that was an option.

Everyday value slam is not on the menu but you get it free for your birthday if you get the app! They used to only give it to you on your actual birthday but now you can go any time during the month! You get 2 eggs, bacon, sausage and your choice of pancakes, biscuit and gravy, or french toast. I usually get pancakes, but I wanted to try their french toast and it was great! Nice and moist with a nice cinnamon egg batter. I didn't think I would finish it all but I did! Guess I was hungrier than I thought! Service was very friendly and fast. Will be back! Parking lot is in the back with a few stalls. Don't come during breakfast or you will be waiting a long time!

DO NOT EAT THEIR EGGS! Big thumbs down! Not impressed at all but like what else do you expect from a Dennys? I'm scarred from eating eggs at any diner now ! I ordered the most basic scramble eggs and cheddar breakfast and just got a complete stomachache right after eating. I had to miss two days of work after the fact !! That's just the food... The service was even worse. I get being in Waikiki and being busy, but it's nice to acknowledge a customer with needs. The wait time was slow and the food was slower ! I got up to take photos after my meal of the restaurant and the middle age woman host continued to shout at me to stop taking photos when I was clearly trying to just get pictures of the restaurant and not others. 0 /10 don't recommend
