Meet the owner

A vital member of Oshawa's restaurant scene, Dines Family Restaurant first opened their doors for business in 1964. Current owner Mike Hamdan offers patrons generous portions of quality homestyle food at the beloved spot, which is best known for its all-day breakfast and hearty steak on a kaiser.

“My partners and I decided to buy into the business because of its history in Oshawa,” says Mike. “We offer American and Canadian food, everything is fresh and made in the kitchen here. Nothing is out of a can and everything is made from scratch. You really feel like you’re eating at home when you come to Dines Family Restaurant.”

Dines an Oshawa staple. However I beleive the quality has diminished through the years, my last visit was a real disappointment. I ordered souvlaki dinner it was much too salty and the greek salad was bland and watery. not enough chicken either almost $13 with tax was a bit much, I wouldnt mind if the quality was better I guess for people in oshawa its better than kraft mac and cheese though

Having visited so many disappointing Oshawa...

Having visited so many disappointing Oshawa Breakfast restaurants in the past 5 months since moving here, it is nice to finally find a passable one. The food is regular breakfast food, but unlike my other breakfast experiences, you get what you order and you aren't overpaying. The staff is nice, and you can watch as your food is made. Very "Diner" esque

My Weekly Breakfast

I get up at 07:00 on Saturday, out the door with my daughter by 08:00. Stop at a local magazine shop and pick up my not so lucky 649 tickets. 09:00 Meet my buddy at Dines and we all order Breakfast! The point...It is a fun "greasy spoon" with excellent food and service. I have been doing this for the past 2 years. The staff are so nice to my daughter and know her by her first name. My plan...I hope when I am 60, I will still be meeting my daughter for breakfast at Dines on a Saturday morning! Da Food Man From Bowmanville!

Pretty good!

Food was good overall, nothing special though! I'd go back, maybe try something different. Service wasn't bad, but again, not super friendly or impressive!
