Were all dinosaurs reptiles?

No way! There were thousands of species of reptiles that lived both during, before, and after the dinosaurs lived on earth. There were the synapsid reptiles, as well as the anapsid reptiles, which were mostly gone when the dinosaurs arrived. There were also many diapsid reptiles that lived during the time the dinosaurs did. Such species include deinosuchus, dimetrodon, gorgonops, Quetzalcoatlus, and rutiodon.

Are all dinosaurs reptiles?

All reptiles are diapsids. Mammals (like you and I) are, in contrast, synapsids. So in that respect all reptiles are alike. However, I would not say they were all alike. Snakes are reptiles but lack limbs. Alligators are also reptiles, as are lizards. Tuatara, gavials, amphisbaenids, and tortoises each represent one of the four main modern orders of reptiles. They share some characteristics--just as you and I do, but I would not say they were all alike.
