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 very good and the price is even better. coffee is refilled regularly by the server. overall loved thehomecooked breakfast. didn't misshomeone bit. will definitely drop by next time we are in niagara. do try!

my boyfriend and i were in niagara falls and looking for a place for breakfast. when i saw the reviews for dena'shomecooking, 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.

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 besthomefries 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.

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). realhomefries, 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!

'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'homecooked 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 thehomecooked 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.

soooooooooo good. my husband and i have been to dena'shomecookin' 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 soooooooo good . 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'shomecookin' is a must!

greathomecooking food!. this is a gem of a place. awesomehomecooking food with great staff. this is a mom and pop shop that is truly amazing. it's a bit of a drive outside the falls area but you won't regret it. just gps the location and you'll get there no problem. will come back for sure!!!

amazing. we we're in town with a few of the guys celebrating a couple of birthdays, saw the reviews online so we thought we'd give it a try. called them as they were closing and they said they would stay open just for us!!

let me tell you this place did not disappoint one bit. we ordered off their brunch menu and it was the besthomecooking ever. the eggs benedict that i had was to die for. the owner even brought us a plate of their peameal bacon to try for those of us that didn't have it in their breakfast.

the jist: prices were very reasonable, the food amazing, the staff extremely friendly - definitely coming here again next time we're in town.

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 of good quality meat and fresh vegetables. thehomefries 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. :)
