I've eaten here and at the place on the strip multiple times. I will sum it up like this. breakfast doesn't have to be greasy, sugary and disgustingly bad for you. It doesn't. You can get great potatoes without having to have your heart stop. Even the eggs come out swimming in fat. The bottom of my plate is just one big oil slick every time I go there. The pancakes are thin because they're weighed down by 1000g of fat and again swimming in fat on your plate. They're heavy, rich and just not necessary unless you're ordering them for desert and then I would serve 1/2 an order. Nothing they make that I have tried is prepared with any care or finesse. It's all over the top and it's not funny anymore. Buy quality ingredients, prepare them properly without too much fat or sugar, season them properly and let them sing.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. I should really start a Yelp list of some of my favorite places come to think of it. I'm always sorry I ate here every time I get sucked in. By the way, do something to filter your water because it tastes awful and is probably why the coffee is so bad. Probably one of the better breakfasts in the Pittsburgh area if you're comparing regions which tells you about the quality of the food here. I think Deluca's does a better job if you insist on eating out for breakfast in the 'burgh.
