| - I had heard good things from a co-worker, but didn't believe the hype. This is as good as it gets for breakfast food in the Pittsburgh area. We came in on a Saturday around 11 am. The place was unbelieveably packed, but we had a table within 2 minutes. They were quickly cleaning and seating like a well-oiled machine. Our waiter arrived seconds later. It's rather loud inside, but he was polite and quick to lean in to hear to make sure that he got our order correct.
We both started with water and then I ordered the big fat greek omelet with french fries, rye bread and no tomatoes. J ordered the club sandwich also with fries.
Both items came out super fast and very hot. My omelet was huge - filled with gyro meat (which was delicious and not greasy), onions, feta cheese with a glob of almost spicy tatziki sauce, brimming with cucumbers. The toast was slathered with butter and toasted to a crisp perfection. But what really blew my mind were the fries. The fries were perfection. Crispy, not greasy, potato-y - all in all, they might be the BEST french fries ever. These beat the fancy fries with truffle oil and parmesan. They beat the double-fries Belgian frites (in fact, these might be double-fried). All in all, the massive, and I mean, massive pile disappeared before my eyes. J's club had hand-carved turkey that had been freshly roasted, fresh tomatoes and lettuce and delicious bread.
As we were sitting and munching through our meal, I saw the list go up for the dinner specials. Leg of lamb? Pastitsio? Moussaka? Stuffed pork chops? I am honestly not kidding when I say that we were considering going back for dinner.
We will be returning soon!
(And they have a full bar and desserts that look to die for!)
