Plumbing and slab work for a new Denny’s restaurant was completed in the past week, and walls are going up quickly, but don’t flip your pancakes yet.

“At this time, we do not have a tentative opening date available,” Denny’s representative Jillian Hutwagner said.

However, Denny’s has put out the call for job applicants.

The property at 21195 N. John Wayne Parkway has been under construction since September. Halabu Development and Construction is building a 4,041-square-foot diner near the southeast corner of John Wayne Parkway and Smith-Enke Road.

The owner of the property is Camden Holdings.
