Our Story

More than Just Great Food

Teddy's Restaurant & Deli is a true gem in the heart of Oshawa. Founded by Chris and Ted Tzogas in 1980, the restaurant quickly became a staple for family-friendly dining within the community. Since switching hands in 2019 to Bill and James Panos, Teddy's has continued to serve comforting, homemade meals.  For over 40 years, guests have come from all over the Greater Toronto Area to sample our delicious, made in-house items or chat with our friendly staff, many of whom have worked at our restaurant for 20+ years!


At Teddy’s, family and community are at the centre of everything we do. Our staff are the backbone, heart and soul of our restaurant and we are proud to have a team of dedicated professionals who share our passion for great food and exceptional service. Our goal has been to create a dining experience that customers love to visit, not only because of the great food, but also as a place they feel valued. With three generations of families having worked here over the years, we strive to make every guest feel like they are part of the extended family.


Teddy's Restaurant & Deli is more than just a place to eat. It is an establishment where everyone can come together. We take pride in our locally-owned and family-operated business and strive to continue to provide our customers with the same warm and friendly atmosphere that has kept them coming back for decades. We are proud to share our rich history with you and excited to welcome you into the Teddy’s family tradition!

Heritage

Serving Greatness Since 1980

Founded on Family Values

Originally owned by brothers Ted and Chris, father and son team Bill and James continue the family-owned and operated tradition. 

You can taste the difference a family-run business makes.

We are dedicated to fostering a welcoming environment where everyone can feel like
part of the family.

Comfort Food at its Finest

Teddy’s offers a wide selection of dishes that not only satisfy your hunger, but evoke a
sense of comfort. 

We pride ourselves on our simple yet delicious recipes that have stood
the test of time. 

No matter what you order,
when you dine with us you’ll experience the nostalgic delights only comfort food can provide.

Fresh is Best

At our restaurant,
food is prepared fresh daily:

Our famous deli meat is cooked in house and sliced-to-order, our burger patties are freshly ground, and our dressings, sauces and soups are made with the same recipes used over 40 years ago!

Guests crave our
handmade coconut cream
and strawberry pies!
