I was in Pittsburgh for 4 days and I ate here two of those days. The hot cakes are what brought me back. The first time, I got the strawberry ones. Fresh, cold strawberries smothered with brown sugar and freshly made whipped cream wrapped in a buttery, fluffy, and slightly salty hot cake. So. Freaking. Good.
Round 2: Fresh bananas smothered in chocolate and wrapped in a buttery, fluffy, and slightly salty hot cake. So. Freaking. Good.
It was a bit hectic going in the morning -- they have an early bird special which has really good deals until like 8am or something. But the second time I went, I went at around 2pm and it was super empty. The service at 2pm was good though -- super friendly people. Highly recommended!
