Dino's Grill

Stopped by after a day at Arden farms. It was kinda empty but everything looked very clean. They didn't have any high chairs nor booster seats, just FYI.What we ordered:Pasta Alfredo with Chicken -10/10 portion was huge and the flavor was real good.Kids spaghetti - 10/10 portion was huge for a kid but it was real yummy. Greek salad - 9/10 I love when places add salt and pepper to a salad. The chicken was well seasoned too. The crumbles of feta w chunks of cut tomatoes and cucumber just really brought it together. I didn't even use the dressing because everything was so flavorful. 1 point off because the olives were not pitted, so be real careful when ordering this item.Cheesey bread - 10/10 wow this was real good!Funny thing is that each item comes with garlic bread so we had an overage but that's fine, we took it home. Really great experience and very nice workers.

Kinda strange little burger diner. Its been here a long time, so it is somewhat of a local fave. I've been here several years ago, but the food never really leaves a big imprint on me, so it was hard to write a review. Tried it a couple times more within this year, so lemme churn one out before it fades in my memory. Very classic diner lookin', checkerboard tile floors with white tables. Straight counter service where you order everything first, but the food does get brought out to your table. I've noticed a few times that old timers of the town like to hold little gatherings out in the parking lot where they showcase each other's vintage cars. I'm not into that sort of thing but I find good community value there. Now even though this is mostly a burger joint, they also do a lot of basic pasta dishes. But it is very suburban pasta dishes to me so it is just kinda meh. I'll elaborate a tad more in a bit. Lasagna ($13/4*) This was actually quite decent and a good slab of a portion. The layers are substantial and the proportioning of meat to sauce to cheese to pasta is very good. I'm not a fan when there is too much of any of those, we don't have that here. Came out super hot too but pretty sure they just microwave the portion as there were spots that seemed to have gotten too blasted, ya know kinda tough/hard spots. But nothing to get worried about. I did have to season it a bit at the table but I pretty much woof'd this down one chilly afternoon.Italian Burger ($16/3*) Again good portions, nothing will be skimpy here. This is a smallish cheeseburger in between garlic bread. No garnishments just burger and buttery garlic bread. And it is served with pasta in a basic meat/tomato sauce instead of fries. The burger part was alright, fresh burger served hot and melty. Not seasoned so again a little shaker action at the table. The garlic bread is quite rich and quite garlic-y which I applaud. But the bread to me is just to soft and squishy which made me go against most American breads as I grew up. Straight up grocery mass produced bread.The pasta part is a generous serving, I packed half for another meal. They use spaghetti and rigatoni together which you don't see often. The sauce is on the light side and very bland to me. Very little salt and couldn't really taste any herbage like oregano/basil. Even the tomato flavor is very muted. I think if you're an old timer with dietary restrictions then this may be your jam. But for me unfortunately left me hanging. They do serve a very unique soda from a local soda company so no Coke or Pepsi products here. I think it's from Alameda Soda Co and I found it delicious. I only drink sodas very rarely so I don't mind in indulging in a good quality soda occasionally. I tried sips of the rootbeer and the black cherry and both were solid. I bet they don't use high fructose corn syrup. So even though I didn't love it, I most certainly didn't hate it. If running errands in this part of town, I wouldn't rule out getting their lasagna again or maybe trying their mushroom burger.

Dino's has a great small menu that is all homemade but diverse enough to meet the needs of many. Whether it's pasta, burgers or gyro the taste is always amazing. We have only eaten on site a few times; it is a bright 50's style period place more suited for a fun lunch than dinner. Dino's Grill is our go to Grubhub at home order. It arrives quickly, packed well and hot. A family of five can order multiple times per week and still choose to eat a variety of delicious meals. The prices are a bit on the high side as expected.

Dino's has been a staple of food comfort for years. The service is impeccable and greeted with a friendly smile. The food is always on point and served hot and fresh. If you love pasta, delicious salads or a fantastic chicken sammy then you don't not want to miss out. Make Dino's your go to when not ready to, cook at home that is.

I enjoy this place when I want a plate of simple comfort food. It boasts a retro 50's vibe with bright reds and blacks. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. Service has been friendly every time I've gone. We love that they offer soda from a local company based in Oakland in their soda fountain. This time we got the California chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger. Both were tasty and served with very very hot crispy fries. I've also tried their fettuccini alfredo- it was creamy and comforting. I believe they make their own pasta. Prices are reasonable and good comes out quickly.

Certainly appreciate the family run business . I also liked the pan heated sauces and pasta entrees.However, I found my chicken Parmesan to be a bit overdone and the sauce to be a little plain. I'm always on the hunt for a good lunch spot and had some high expectations. I will certainly give this place another try as the service was very friendly. I'm thinking I might want to try something else on the menu.

Was craving some Dino's yesterday and ordered to go. Dino's is a staple in Newark and has been serving this community for quite some time. The family that runs this business is friendly and is more like family to everyone. I ordered the fettuccini Athenian - chicken and veggies in a white sauce. The portion size was pretty big and can feed up to 2 people. It comes cooked to order so it's piping at hot. It served with a side of garlic bread to dip into the sauce. I enjoyed my food and enjoy this place every time i come and visit.

Burger and pasta at its finest period !!! Glad the soda machine is back up and running. :).The meat sauce here goes well with everything and if you crave lasagna, better call ahead to make sure they some. If you ever feel the food is not up to par, just let them know and they will make it right for sure. Been going here for years now and we miss mama walking around behind the counter. :) Italian Burger is a must !

I love supporting mom & pops and this place is it! I came in here the other evening for the first time on a whirlwind and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I ordered a house salad and a beef gyro. The salad was fresh and the gyro was delish & filling. I stopped by again this evening and the quality of food and service were still on point. Today, I ordered a chicken gyro and fries with a salad and mozzarella sticks. I'm realizing I ordered a little too much for myself, but the food was incredible. With the rising costs in the Bay Area, I find their prices are reasonable while offering quality food and a quality dining experience. I'll am now a returning customer.

At first glance Dino's Grill may appear to be an average American Restaurant. But for those who know- you know! Dino's is comfort food city! As others have already noted, it's diner food done right- burgers, pasta, chicken, salad; it's one of the best places to go for lunch or (early) dinner in the area for sure. My go-tos are the gyro (sometimes with extra meat, extra tzatziki on the side), the French Burger, or the SF (which comes on grilled sourdough). Good food, large portions, good prices, friendly service- need I say more? The restaurant has a fair amount of seating but it can get busy if there a lot of teams coming in for lunch, so heads up. Man, getting hungry writing this all out. Thank you Team DG!
