Denny's Drive-In — Restaurant in Lambton Shores

Update - August 24, 2021 Updated from 3-star to 5-star The owner ensured our order was perfect. There were six in our party. So glad we returned. Thank you Val and the team at Denny's.

We will be returning!

Update - July 14th, 2021 My review has been updated from 2-star to 3-star. After my initial review the owner of Denny's contacted me promptly and offered a gift certificate. I received it within one week of her email. Doing what you say you will do is a definite customer service win. We will be returning to the Grand Bend area in August and will give them another shot.

I mostly enjoyed my foot-long dog. I asked for onions and cheese, but they forgot the cheese. I asked for extra mustard but only received three small packages for two foot-longs. There was also a spot of mould on my bun. I picked it off and continued eating. The hot dog and fries tasted good, but these three missteps will prevent my return. Sad to see an iconic Grand Bend eatery...

I'm pretty sure this poutine would be illegal in Quebec

came for lunch and we ordered a cheeseburger with a poutine and a 2 piece fish and chips. the food came out quickly and at a great temperature. they also have a great dog friendly patio to sit on while you eat.

we love poutine and usually always order it. I don't think I've ever gotten poutine that was just "okay". imagine our surprise when we laid our eyes on it for the very first time and realized what we ordered was a lie—where's the cheese curds? who puts shredded cheese on gravy fries and calls it a poutine?

now the fish and chips. the fish was that generic premade frozen fish that comes in a suspiciously perfect shape. and if you want coleslaw for your fish and chips you have to order it separately 💔

the fries and gravy were okay. I'm pretty sure it's premade gravy. and the burger was okay, nothing crazy happening there if you know...

Cute enough place that could be a goldmine. With that said, one goes here for the food correct? "Just ok" was the collective statement from our group. I ordered fish and chips, eating one bite of the haddock as it had some overly fishy kind of perch taste to it. The fries were ok. Hot dog (I got one as I was still hungry and my daughter had one) were kind of anemic looking and oddly chewy. My son thought his burger was ok... My wife got some Thai dish that ended up more like a soup than anything else. We ended up here as the initial destination Cahoonas was not open until 4:30 and everyone was starving. Honestly everyone said "we should have waited". If you want to know what a "legendary drive in type restaurant" is like, try Hutch's in Hamilton on the beach strip. Sorry guys, this...
