i could probably count on one hand the number of times that i've waited in line to eat at a place with fluorescent lights. this is one of them.
we waited in line outside next to the "best breakfast in pittsburgh" sign for about 30 minutes before being seated. the wait was partly due to today being labor day, and partially due to our showing up at 11:30am. was the wait worth it? every minute of it.
+1 for a menu FULL of wonderful breakfast items. most items are non-traditional. deluca's has many non-standard items that are locally well-known.
+1 for friendly service amidst the demands of 100+ hungry people.
+1 for a great location. strip district.
+1 for relatively quick service.
+1 for the best (and largest) omelet i've ever had, named the "bionic omelet".
+1 for the best overall breakfast i've ever had.
-1 for cash only.
highly recommended. favorite of both locals and tourists. i will likely return. come early to avoid any lines.
