| - Man, EFF Deluca's. I was jonesing for an omelet on Monday so we drove down to the Strip hoping to get breakfast only to be greeted by a line of 35 or more people. Normally I would have waited but It was way too damn hot to stand outside on this particular day. So we drove to Squirrel Hill since we were going to the movies afterwards anyway. My husband remembered that Smallman Street Deli had breakfast.
There was ZERO wait in the place, which I was happy to see. I ordered an omelet with mushrooms, cheese, and bacon. Husband got the crunchy French toast. My meal was excellent. A hearty sized omelet, well-seasoned and lots of filling. The home fries are made from red skin potatoes and well-seasoned where most places just give you plain potatoes with no salt or anything. Very tasty. Mr.'s French toast was sweet, hearty, and had a satisfying crunchy coating. I was a little put off by the packets of Smucker's syrup though...they could spring for some syrup in a pourer or at least a bottle.
I like the service setup...you order at the counter, they bring your food, you get your own drinks. It's low-key and you don't have to worry about waiting around for a server to refill your beverage or being rushed out the door.
So like I said, eff Deluca's and their long lines. This place was just as delicious, if not more so, the prices are about the same, and there was no wait, so this is my new breakfast place.
