| - A Pittsburgh staple. They're so family-friendly, their mascot (see, they have a mascot - totally family friendly) is a smiling cookie.
Most recently, I was here for brunch after church, though I've been coming here for years. The servers are always friendly, it's usually pretty clean, and the buffet is normally well-stocked. I love their new, health-conscious approach to their menu; they still have the classics, like the breakfast smile with full fat and grease or the smart breakfast smile, with less fat and grease. Fresh fruit instead of bacon was actually a refreshing change (and I love me some bacon) and my egg-beater-like egg white substitute really did taste good and egg-y. My father had the same thing, but the original version. Those hashbrowns they have are like fried gold - always the first thing that gets eaten.
Our server was always quick with the coffee. Even though she had other tables, she'd take care of us first so as to allow time to chat with her regulars. I can appreciate that; it makes you want to be a regular.
Pros: relatively quick service (it's been faster, but it was Sunday), fresh take on the menu, servers take care of the regulars
Cons: this time the food delivery was really lagging (no fault of the server, the kitchen must have been slammed), booths weren't fully clean before we sat down
