| - Some friends and I decided to get brunch this Sunday. We decided on Eggs R Us. As soon as we walked in we saw a packed diner. The waitress offered to seat us but told us up front that they had a few call offs and were really behind. We were in no hurry so we were seated and took our time to chat and hang aht. 0ur drink orders were filled and then we put our order in about 15 min after the last person in our party arrived. Each of us ordered something different. I ordered the Western omelet and it was fricken delicious. The ham is thick slices of what tastes like Christmas ham. The eggs were fluffy and perfect. And the veggies tasted fresh and cooked just right. I am a huge fan of the home fries at ERU. And once again, they did not disappoint.
We had a long wait, but it seemed like the entire restaurant was sympathetic to the staff who was busting their asses to pick up the slack caused by the call offs. There were people who didn't want to wait, but they weren't assholes about it, and I credit the very apologetic server who communicated to everyone what they were up against.
0ur food was great. Simple, unpretentious, plentiful, inexpensive and most importantly DELICI0US!
Eggs R Us is a greasy spoon, ma & pap, locally owned/operated, Pittsburgh gem. And the Pittsburghers who patiently waited while the kitchen staff, servers, and owner held it together make me proud to call this place home.
