| - In recent months, I wrote about a comparison between The Dor-Stop and Pamela's, two popular breakfast diners here in the Pittsburgh region. I have been hearing good things about Kelly O's in Pittsburgh's Strip District and invited my aunt for a Sunday gab session.
We were off to a good start at 9:30 and had a seat as soon as we arrived. Promptly, a coffee was served and within 5 minutes our order was placed. Then... it got super busy and people were seated all around us. That is good, right? Well, they also received their food before us even when our order was BEFORE theirs. This went on for 25 minutes. My aunt and I had a lot of catching up to do, so we were enjoying the outing. However, we were getting hungry and this needed to be addressed. The server immediately checked and mentioned that our order was submitted but somehow half of it disappeared off the handwritten slip. The waitress was nice, but the excuse did not seem to make sense. Regardless, our orders were placed again "on the fly" and we received them within 5 minutes of the complaint.
Now, the actual food. I had a steak and cheese omelette which was good, served with potatoes (onions and peppers added for an extra cost). It was extremely good and not overly greasy like some diner food can be at times.
In closing, it was a shame that the order fell through the cracks because the saving moment was that the quality of the food spoke for itself. As we departed the extremely cute stand-alone building, there was a line out the door. In my mind I thought, these folks will get a quality breakfast and everyone makes a few mistakes. I will give this place a chance again, especially since they have a lunch menu that looked delicious.
