Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Planning a family meal usually comes down to three questions: is it open, is there something for the kids, and what will it cost. This page answers those from what each place publishes about itself, and nothing more.
There are six places here, in and around Oakleigh. Five have Oakleigh addresses, four of them on or near Eaton Mall and Portman Street. One, Temperance Society, is a cafe in Hughesdale. We only call a place family-friendly where its own site or a named listing uses that kind of word, and we say which one.

The Hunk is $15.50 with a beef patty, cheese, onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato and HD burger sauce, and the Hunky Hot Chick is $15 with southern fried chicken, pickles and slaw.

Pack: The chain site prints one menu headed “Select location for correct menu” and says prices are correct as of June 2026. We could not select Oakleigh, so check store pricing before you rely on these figures.
Melissa Oakleigh — 5 Eaton Mall, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Melissa’s site says it is open 7 days a week, from 8 am till late. Its breakfast menu runs until 1PM, and woodfire pizza is listed from 5PM. The kids’ lines it prints are “KIDS BREKKIE (UNDER 12)” and “KIDS (UNDER 12)”.

- EGGS YOUR WAY: $16
- BACON AND EGGS: $19

Pack: Budget for the 10% weekend surcharge the breakfast menu prints, and read the kids’ lines on the current menu because we copied no kids’ prices.
Greca Street — 66 Portman Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
Greca Street’s site lists a “Kids Menu 12 Years & Under” and Greca Banquets available for groups of 3 or more. It describes itself as Greek food and wine and says it is fully licensed, with no BYO. The listed hours are Wednesday and Thursday 12.00pm - 9.00pm, Friday and Saturday 12.00pm - 9.30pm, and Sunday 12.00pm - 9.00pm. Monday and Tuesday show as closed.

- MIXED DIPS: $24

Pack: The restaurant lists Monday and Tuesday as closed, and its prices are bare numbers on the menu page, so confirm the dollar amounts when you book.
Oakleigh Carnegie RSL and Community Club (Oakleigh Music Hall) — 95-97 Drummond Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166
The club’s site describes itself as “Family friendly and community focused since 1922” and lists a Members Bar, Bistro, Beer Garden and Memorial Hall. It says the bistro is open for lunch and dinner from Thursday to Saturday, and for lunch on Sunday, and the opening-hours page lists Thursday to Sunday from 12pm to close. The site also says it is licensed only, with no gaming.
Gig tickets for the Oakleigh Music Hall are priced separately on the event listing, so they are not bistro prices. We could not read the bistro menu as text, so we are not quoting a meal price for it.
Pack: Ask the club for the current bistro menu before you go, since gig tickets are not the same as kids’ meals.
Temperance Society — 127 Kangaroo Road, Hughesdale VIC 3166
Temperance Society is in Hughesdale, not Oakleigh. The Australian Good Food Guide tags it “Child Friendly”, “Pet Friendly” and “Alfresco Dining”. Those are the listing’s feature tags, not statements from the cafe itself.
The AGFG hours line reads Monday to Friday 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM. The same page prints a second, different hours line, so confirm before you go. We found no menu or price list to read, so there are no prices here.
Pack: Check the opening hours directly, because the listing contradicts itself.
