dena's home cookin'

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 verygoodand 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,goodpeople and oh did i mention the food is amazing. price is sogoodyou 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 agoodsign.

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 onlygoodthing i could say was that it was not to expensive.

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 reallygoodbreakfast at a reallygoodprice and supporting a local business to boot.

'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 agoodol' 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....

loved this place! like going home and seeing my mom! the entire staff hovered over us and were so friendly! breaakfast was amazing! jay had cabbage rolls and they were gone in a blink!justgoodole home cooking! highly recommend this quaint little spot!

soooooooooo good. my husband and i have been to dena's home cookin' quite a few times. the food and service is always phenomenal! the food is so delicious and the portions are huge. whenever we go for breakfast or lunch it is difficult deciding on what we want to eat because everything on the menu is soooooooogood. dena is always welcoming and friendly to all her customers. it is like eating with family. harry prepares the most fabulous dishes with love and care. i will mention again that the portions are out of this world! it is also nice to see that he comes out and personally greets his customers to make sure they are satisfied with their meal. if you want to have a fabulous eating experience dena's home cookin' is a must!

awesome place. came for march break with the kids. didn't want to over pay for industrial franchise food like the ihop and had enough of eating at tim's and ending up hungry after an hour. read the
reviews and decided to give it a try. it was great. delicious food, big portions everything was delicious and tasted homemade but better than i could ever make it.
my wife had the vegetable omelet and i had the big mans breakfast. each kid had the classic breakfast and a glass of juice. everything tasted sogoodincluding the coffee and the place had all local customers who were regulars by the greetings that were going back and forth. we felt very welcomed and cozy. 2 adults and 4 kids eat and drank well (and took leftover's) for $55 after tax and a tip for the excellent service.
you have to try dena's!

delicious!! :). my parents, boyfriend and i just got back from a lovely breakfast a dena's. we arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes before they closed, and they graciously let us in and served us absolutely delicious meals. the omelettes were massive and had large chunks ofgoodquality meat and fresh vegetables. the home fries were fresh and flavourful, everything was wonderful and the portions were generous for a very reasonable price. we enjoyed the company of both dena and harry (owners),who had interesting stories to tell. dena's has a great family atmosphere. we will most certainly be back. :)
