Today was my spouse’s birthday. We went to this branch, and despite being busy, they treated us patiently and with a pleasant attitude. After a short wait, we were able to get a window-side table, which was great for us. My spouse enjoyed their complimentary birthday breakfast, and I ordered breakfast as well, which was excellent. All the staff were professional and energetic, and the food was amazing.

Not always a big fan of some of Denny's food (sausages, french toast) but this Denny's atmosphere and lay out was one of the best I've been at. Service was amazing and the cold brew was made perfectly not too sweet. If you're gonna go to a Denny's this is definitely the one.

My first experience and an awesome time. A chilled atmosphere with a welcome service and a vast menu. The food was lovely and filling. It's certainly worth a visit.

I am pleased to say this is my first visit to the Denny's in Colwood. I was alone, my mail arrived quickly pretty much shocking that's how quick it was. The quality was good. The atmosphere was quite spacious and bright. I really liked the overhead roof glass ceiling. The staff were friendly, my coffee cup was never empty, if this is the kind of service Denny's provides on a regular basis at this location I will be back. Great job today look forward to seeing you again.

My waitress was the best part of my Dennys visit today! She was so nice, checked in on me because I was alone, gave me a really sweet compliment! I left feeling 10x better than when I came in! Not to mention her effort to make me a custom mimosa! Love you dennys!

Pretty excited to dine with Dennys as it was our first time eating here on the island. As we entered the door, the male staff (could be the manager)hardly acknowledged our presence, asked how many persons eating and for no apparent reason told us to wait by the front area and sounds straight up rude overall. All other guests that came after us were greeted enthusiastically and were seated at the window seats whereas we were taken to the table near the stairs with a used napkin where the condiments are at. The male server was very nice, asked us how we were and was doing a fantastic job overall. The food was great and we loved it. The male staff by the receiving area could do better in making guests feel welcome rather than making them feel discriminated upon especially when all other guests that came before us were seated according to preference and greeted nicely.

Maria was our server for the evening. Delightful person, expedient service. We ordered the roast turkey dinner which came with brown gravy. It was tasty and exactly what my friend and and I were both looking for, the signature Dennys comfort food. A lovely cup of tea and a piece of pie afterwards hit the spot. The only photo I could attach would be that of empty plates, so we wont bother.

Atmosphere was good. Thats why we come. Food was good. Tracy was an awesome waitress. Only one bad thing. Your survey is ridiculous. It doesnt cover what we had for breakfast. Doesnt give us a place to put it and when I go back to edit it completely erases everything. Give your head a shake. You want a proper survey. Do your job properly Parking: Good location close to the building. Well accessible.
