I went to the Kelly O's in the North Hills years ago and was so NOT impressed. I tried Pamela's a month or two ago, and I was again so NOT impressed. I gave up all hope on finding diner breakfast in Pittsburgh. However, one morning I was meeting friends for breakfast, and we were looking for somewhere near work. I figured why not give the original Kelly O's a chance?
I played it safe and ordered the Don's Free Ride Omelette ($6.99) with Ham, Cheese, Tomato, and green peppers. It also came with toast so I ordered rye. I am not a potato eater and this was one of the only options without potatoes. The omelette was packed full, and the price was super fair. Our food came out quickly and service was fast but on the go friendly. This is as close as you seem to get to diner style in Pittsburgh.
Credit card minimum of $10 and there is a small parking lot where you can park for free!
