| - Nothing but rave reviews for this spot. Looks a bit like a dive from the outside but when you step inside the staff are friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is delicious. It's a neighborhood diner where literally everyone knows your name. I felt a little like the odd man out because no one knew my name but everyone was so friendly that the feeling didn't last long. It's a small place with a handful of tables and a lunch counter with stools. It can get crowded but they work quickly to get everyone seated. Also, I saw the owner, Lisa, bringing coffee to those who were sitting waiting which I thought was a really thoughtful touch to ease the wait time.
On both visits, I went for the Light Breakfast of sorts which was one pancake with a fried egg on top and then ordered a side of home fries. On the second visit I upgraded the regular pancake for a banana and chocolate chip pancake. That decision was definitely NOT a mistake! Well, maybe a mistake for my waistline but not my taste buds. Everything on the menu looks great and you get a ton of food for a great price. I love, love, love the home fries.
I also really want to emphasize how clean this place was. No dust on any of the decorations or shelves, no crusted and dried residue on the ketchup and hot sauce bottle on the tables, a clean floor, etc. You can tell the owners really take pride in their business.
It may be out of the way from downtown Pittsburgh but I recommend making the trip!
