“Best place on the beltline let alone downtown to get cheap beer and tacos. Draft beer for $4 Tacos for $5.25 Plus the home boys running it are top notch! Much respect, would come every day if I had the time!“

“We LOVE coming to this restaurant and visit every couple of weeks because the food and drinks are always outstanding. That’s why I was so disappointed with our experience at lunch today.

Our server was friendly, but service felt very rushed and inattentive. We never received a quality check after our food arrived, and we ended up having to ask the host for a knife and two waters in two different interactions because we couldn’t get our server’s attention and one of the water glasses we were given had a crack in it, which was concerning. While I understand that restaurants get busy, it was frustrating to feel forgotten as guests.

As someone who works in the service industry myself, I completely understand that not every shift goes perfectly. However, checking on your tables at least once after food is delivered is a basic part of service. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen during our visit.

We’ll definitely be back because we’ve always had great experiences here, but this visit fell well below the standard we’ve come to expect from a restaurant we normally enjoy so much.“

“My best friend and I occasionally meet up at the Crowfoot Denny’s for breakfast. This was a similar occasion and as always the breakfast was excellent, that goes as well for the service. Karen was very attentive when it came to making sure we had enough coffee and getting our breakfast to the table in a timely manner. She was very polite, and professional. Denny’s at Crowfoor is a great place to meet up with friends for excellent food and great conversation.“

“West Springs strEATS has great food selection as well as prompt and friendly service. The variety on the menu is great as both my husband and I like different food and we can both get what we want without compromising. Highly recommend trying the Mango Shrimp Tacos and Perogy Poutine at this location!“

“Milica is amazing!!! She’s warm and very kind!! Absolutely wonderful service! She deserves a raise!!! Best service I have experienced so far!! She deserved every penny of our tip!!

Food was also great as usual!! This Denny’s is a favourite of ours!!“

“Denny's was delicious today (as usual) had incredible service by Genet B. She was awesome, friendly and didn't allow me to feel like a fool when I spilled my coffee at the end of my meal. Very nice and refreshing to have such a happy sunny server. Big smile and super gracious.“

“Great meal, terrific staff always stop here after a visit to east Calgary“

“Food was pretty good. Standard 'elevated' fare. I gave 4 instead of 5 because the double patty was more like the size of 1.10-1.25 restaurant patties. It tasted great though. The burger sauce was good, and I liked the fries. The tacos were also totally what I was looking for, and the chicken fingers were classic higher quality pieces. I'll eat from here again for sure. It was $75 total for the items I got.“

“so flipping tasty food was delicious. staff very friendly“

“Thanks for yummy Fish and Chips. Great Service“

“Pleasantly surprised and I would certainly come back. The front desk staff were helpful and the bistro had amazing food. After king fought delays I was able to relax have a good night sleep and carry on my journey“

“The view was beautiful and the pistou pasta was one of the most delicious pasta dishes we’ve ever had. The space is beautiful and modern with a lovely view from the floor to ceiling windows. There’s also a private dining room for parties.
High chairs and kids menu available. The kids menu is better than most with healthy options as well as the standard kid fare. The kid’s portion was generous too. We ordered the kid’s salmon with broccolini, mash potatoes and veggies. The pricing was good too.

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kids menu available. The kids menu is better than most with healthy options as well as the standard kid fare. The kid’s portion was generous too.“

“Celebrated my son’s birthday last night and the service and food were great! We had onion rings, tacos, fish and chips, steak, salmon and crème brûlée and chocolate cake. For drinks we had ginger beer and peacock lager. Great all around! And great ambience“

“Great food and super service!“

“Absolutely love this place. We have been going here for years and have tried pretty much everything on the menu. Love the scotch broth soup, club Sandwich, Reuben, Monte cristo and salmon. Their bakery is amazing as well. We love their challah bread.“

“This place was great. Came here with some work colleagues and had a great time. The bread is fantastic and the unlimited soup and salad are better than Olive Garden for sure. Our server Jovelyn was superb, dealt with 7 hungry co workers very well. Definitely will be back.“

“We’ve been coming here for year, the food is always great, the drinks are always spot on and their feature drinks are unique and flavourful. The patio is also private feeling and very well decorated with a beautiful view.
We keep coming back to this location mostly because of the service! Kaylee is AMAZING. Super attentive, friendly and efficient - can’t rave enough about her.“

“Denny's Calgary Barlow Trail Mohini was great making sure everything was good. At some Denny's I have had problems getting coffee refills but not today the coffee kept coming.“
