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!
