I've been coming here since I was a teenager and have never been let down. The food is awesome- delicious and massive portions for great value. My personal favourites are their reuben, thick cut peameal and their house made hot mustard. Service has always been and continues to be exceptional. Thank you guys for being a reliable and comfortable Oshawa go-to!

Had an excellent experience visiting for the first time on a breakfast date. We arrived on a snowy morning during peak hours, and despite the restaurant being quite busy, the hospitality was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere instantly stood out—warm, lively, and welcoming, with charming photos displayed throughout the space. It was a pleasant touch to be personally greeted by the chef while being shown to our table.
The coffee was excellent. We ordered the New York cut striploin steak (4/5), eggs benedict (4.5/5), and a single pancake (3.5/5). Each dish was well prepared and satisfying, with the eggs benedict being a standout.
Portion sizes were extremely generous—you definitely won’t leave hungry. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I’ll certainly be returning to try more items and would highly recommend this place to others.

You better be hungry when you go here because despite the reasonable prices, the portions are massive.
The atmosphere is great with all the photos on the wall and the staff are fun.

I've been coming here for over 30 years and I've never had a bad experience. You won't find a better breakfast in Oshawa, or probably even Durham Region. Or maybe the whole world!!!
Nothing comes out of a can or a box: real hash browns, bacon cooked to perfection, and those enormous sausages are to die for. I wasn't sure about the homemade hot mustard with breakfast, but I tried it on the ham today and it was delicious.
***An edit is needed as I forgot to mention that the Hollandaise sauce is homemade as well. That's a rarity and one of the reasons we come back there. The Eggs Benedict are the best in town!***
I've had lunch here many times as well. The giant Treehouse Club is what I usually get, and it's fantastic. And once again, from the potato family, real and delicious french fries.
Over the years, there has been changes to some of the staff, but the servers have always been excellent, friendly and always go the extra mile.
I have friends from Oshawa who've moved away but demand a Rainbow visit every time they're in town. With me! Do you realize how good something has to be to wanna hang out with me?!?!?!?
From what I understand, this started as a family business over 65 years ago, with the son Louie eventually taking over, who happens to also be the main cook.
With so many restaurants in Oshawa being taken over by new owners who either don't understand their clientele, the food they're serving, or immediately disregarding quality ingredients to save a few dollars, The Rainbow remains true to its legendary self.
The only thing that's missing is my picture on the wall. What's up with that? Maybe next time one of my traveling musician friends comes to town, we can finally make that one happen.
