Dino's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Fremont

Update: after coming back a few times, this place, within only a span of weeks, has gone down the shitter. I think patrons are noticing, too, because the place was almost empty in a Sunday morning; used to have to wait for hours for a table. The cheery, professional servers are nowhere to be seen. Now ask that area left are the ones who apparently never learned to smile, and moving at a snails pace might be giving them too much credit. The eggs have been overcooked every time and not flavored in the slightest, as if the cooks are allergic to salt. Adding cheese to an omelette to them is literally dropping over processed cold Velveeta on top of the burnt eggs on its way to the table. I also noticed that the butter that goes on everybody's bread, comes from a 5 lb chunk of solid butter that sits on the counter. Everyone shares the same knife, the butter is left uncovered in the warm air next to the heat lamps, and it's in the aisle where all the servers walk through. So it's likely just festering with all kinds of bacteria. One time here I remember getting actual mushrooms, but the last three times they've clearly been out of a can. If you're going to use canned produce, make sure you wash the crap out of it so it doesn't taste like the can still. Just a note for the cooks.

The pavement in the parking lot desperately needs to get patched and upgraded, it's like walking through the lunar surface. For those of us who are disabled makes it very difficult. Not to mention the two doors getting into the restaurant slam like Thor's hammer if you let go of them, also making it very difficult for those who have difficulty with doors. I strongly recommend cutting down on your dinosaur portion sizes, and focus just on a better quality product. Think you'll be able to call yourself a decent restaurant again.

Oh and one more time for the people in the back: lower the heat on your cooking surfaces and for the love of everything holy... learn how to season your food.

Old review: Very straightforward, diner-style restaurant. Expect a solid meal with good portions, but don't look for anything new...

One of the few places I have been with great service, top to bottom. When we were walking in, there was someone sweeping outside that gave us a warm greeting. Hostess was also very friendly and professional when she seated us and took our drink orders. Our waiter was also friendly, professional, and curious and checked in periodically.

To all the people working the front, thank you for being warm and friendly. An extra big thank you to those that maybe where not having the best day, but still got to work and made it a great experience for our visit on Father's Day.

The food came out fast, like drive threw fast and they didn't compromise on the quality. To the people working in the kitchen making the food, thank you.

The small milkshake looked like a large. All the portions for that matter were hefty, and it definitely felt like we got our money's worth.

In a nutshell it's a clean, cozy/nostalgic family dinner with a team that operates like they work at a Michelin rated restaurant. Goes without saying we will be coming back.

Thank you for everyone working today and making my Father's...

There’s nothing more nostalgic than having brunch at a diner, where everyone treats you like family. If you love that old school friendly diner’s vibe, then Dino’s got you! 😯They have been in business for more than 45 years! Dino’s reminded me of my childhood, a place where my mom and dad would take us for Sunday Brunch.

Everything we ordered was delicious!! The child in me loved the Strawberry Nutella Pancakes so much that I didn’t want to share. Their NY steak was cooked perfectly “medium rare”, and their “WE-DARE-YOU-TO-TRY BURGER” 🍔 was huge and juicy! I ordered a side of fresh fruits, and it was so good.

Oh, don’t forget their milk shakes and lattes! We ordered their Strawberry Oreo Milkshake and Iced Caramel Latte, it was so yummy!

If you're in Fremont and looking for a spot to enjoy brunch with reasonable prices, generous portions, and exceptional service, Dino’s should be at the top...
