This diner is sort of a landmark in Pittsburgh. How do I know that? The server could not tell me me more about it but she said - what I know is that President Obama liked our hot cakes very much.
I can testify that President Obama has a good taste because hot cakes were delicious. They were melting in my mouth and had a right balance of fluffiness and consistency. The other stuff was good but I would go back for hot cakes every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
For me, it was like a breakfast version of DC's the Tombs (see my review of the Tombs) since there are many students working and patronizing it.
