dena's home cookin'

a hidden gem.. seriously....amazing in a town of inflated prices. i had eggs benedict, and coffee. $10!!!! i'll dream about this breakfast, it was that good

excellent food and great atmosphere. always feel welcome and service is amazing. you wont find a better place for quality and quantity vs. price. i would give dena's a 5star rating!!

best breakfast every single time we go! it's my husbands and my favorite little nook. the food is delicious and the staff is so friendly and kind

my boyfriend and i were striving after taking a long flight to get to tornto and then drive to niagara falls. we found this family owned restaurant online and it was the best decision, we ordered the gyro wrap and steak sandiwch. the prices are condoreably cheap since they include sides and the plates are enormous. friendly staff!

loved, loved this place! it's a small local breakfast nook run by a couple - dena & harry. they cook the food themselves and its worth the wait.. it's a tiny nook, packed with locals and people who really love eating food that tastes like home. we had to wait a bit for an empty table but the breakfast made up for the wait time. we had the specials for the day - farmer's sausage & eggs, big breakfast and small version of the same for the kid. portion sizes are very good and the price is even better. coffee is refilled regularly by the server. overall loved the home cooked breakfast. didn't miss home one bit. will definitely drop by next time we are in niagara. do try!

i went here on labour day weekend and it was a awesome experience and will always go back when im in niagara falls. great service, good people and oh did i mention the food is amazing. price is so good you cant afford not coming here and if you don't you are missing out. try the raison cinnamon french toast its to die for!!!

great place. amazing service and food. don't think twice about it. go and enjoy the food. loved it. came here based on other reviews. lots of
locals eating here. always a good sign.

my boyfriend and i were in niagara falls and looking for a place for breakfast. when i saw the reviews for dena's home cooking, we thought we found the perfect place for breakfast. when we arrived the place looked closed, as i was looking for a new place we saw people starting to arrive. we went in, we were seated right away, i started to look around and notice a couple of roach hotels on the floor one behind my boyfriend and the other behind me. we thought we would give it a try. i had the blueberry pancakes and my boyfriend had the peameal bacon with a side of mushrooms. the pancakes were so dry that no amount of syrup could moisten them. they tasted like they had been made earlier, frozen then reheated. my boyfriend breakfast peameal bacon was partial raw eggs over salted, mushrooms were cold and greasy. we could barely eat the food we just paid and left the only good thing i could say was that it was not to expensive.

great food, fast service, this little gem made my morning leaving niagara falls. prices are amazing for the quantity and flavor of food, ladies you outdo yourselves. i would go all the time if i lived here!!!

i very much enjoyed my breakfast here. it's a small place and family run. dena is nice and will likely be the one taking your order. the food came out super fast and was flavourful. some of the best home fries i've had in a long time and i love the mushrooms and tomato that come out with the meal. i had blueberry pancakes. if you aren't a big eater don't be a hero, just get the junior size. but my favorite part was the peameal. thick cut slices. grilled perfect so they were still tender and juicy. overall a really good breakfast at a really good price and supporting a local business to boot.

had a great breakfast with the family and parents today. beware the portions are huge and most of us had to ask for the balance to be packed for take out ;) very well priced, family oriented and great great taste and value for money. a must visit for a hearty breakfast before you start you hectic day roaming the niagara streets :)

the best of the best!!!. our experience at dena's was one we soon won't forget! we were served promptly by dena herself. right from the get go we felt welcomed, as if we had been regulars for years. the menu consisted of a wide variety of different pallets to fit even the pickiest kid out there! (a.k.a. my 3 year old) lots of vegetarian options (the roasted red pepper and feta omelet is to die for) as well as plates heaping with sausage, bacon, ham, back bacon for the carnivor in the family! (a.k.a my husband). real home fries, texas toast... even fresh tomato, fried mushrooms and fresh fruit! the coffee and tea is included in the price of your breakfast. in place like niagara falls, where you have to pretty much re-mortgage your house to find a decent meal, dena's is a breath of fresh air. so much awesome all in one tiny restaurant, i promise you will regret not coming sooner!

worst meal ever.... my family stopped at dena's for lunch after reading great reviews. we pulled up and the location is not much, but we thought we had found a hidden gem. were we ever wrong. we arrived just after 1:30, not knowing that they close at 2. we offered to leave because the woman serving us was obviously annoyed we had arrived close to closing. she told us to stay and so we started to order. my husband ordered the hungry man burger, my daughter had the pierogies and i had a salad with greek dressing. we knew we were in trouble when she reached into the chest freezer at the front of the restaurant and passed walmart frozen pierogies and fries to the kitchen. the burger was a formed patty that was so bad my husband just left it. the fries were those awful sort of breaded things. my daughter's pierogies weren't cooked through and the onions on the plate were burned and the bacon had been deep fried. my salad had a weird, thick dressing that was supposed to be greek. it was so bad i scraped it off everything. some of the lettuce was starting to rot as well. we really wanted to like this restaurant. maybe it's because we didn't order breakfast but it was honestly one of the worst meals we've ever had. the man doing the cooking was very pleasant but other than that the experience was awful. we will never go back again.

'out of towners'..it's worth the stop over. found this place through a random google search and i am so happy i came. nothing beats a good ol' home cooked meal and this place surely satisfies that need! the best part of it was that my meal (for 2) was $17 with tax! can't get this quality of cooking anywhere else. thanks to linda, dena, and the jolly gentleman in the kitchen for making our visit to niagara worth the drive....

amazing. a great find for tourists. we all enjoyed our meals and i could not rave enough about the home cooked food which was absolutely delicious (pumpkin pancakes to die for). the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. the chef walked around and said hi to everyone and you can just tell how much he loved cooking for everyone there. the people themselves is enough reason to try it out! 100% will be back the next time we are in the falls. thank you to everyone there.
