Ok there is one word that I can use to sum up this place AUTHENTIC... If there is a master class on what the sole of a diner is this place would be the master study. A diner should make you feel comfortable the food should be delicious and plentiful and the price should be reasonable. The servers should take good care of you but at the same time you know a fiesty "kiss my grits Mel" might come out. This place is small. the front facade says child of the 60's you go in and the main galley is curved giving it the quintessential dining car feel the customer sitting at the counter with a porcelain subway tile wall behind and the cook working on the other side of the counter on a stainless steel diner line. It's the original style diner not the 50's chromed jukebox diner the 30's porcelain railcar working class diner and the food? well.... have you ever gotten a breakfast and the sausage patty is a perfectly round puck you know the same as you buy frozen in a pack from the grocery store. well that's unflavorful and boring but this diner gives you a large hand made patty you know an AUTHENTIC sausage patty. The French toast is sour dough the slab beacon the home fries are not all perfectly cubed chunks of potato they have abnormal shapes. AUTHENTIC. The coffee is good and the cup is bottomless. AUTHENTIC. it's a diner that time forgot in a corner of Pittsburgh that time forgot give it a try and trust me you will love the place. And like me planning on going back as often as possible.
