| - I really can't believe I've never made it here! And I went on the worst possible time too, during the holidays! But the wait wasn't too too bad, even if it was out in the cold for about 15 minutes. Totally worth it once you're warm inside and a hot plate of breakfast food is staring at you!
I'm going to do the thing you shouldn't do but everyone does, compare it to Pamela's. I mean, it's one of the most popular breakfast spots in Pittsburgh, how can I not!? And happily I'd say it was totally on par. Would I say it's better? Probably the same, but for different reasons.
They looked to have a bigger menu than Pamela's, serving hotcakes (what Pamela's is famous for) and regular pancakes. Although I'm a huge pancake fan and most of the options looked amazing, I really wanted a regular down home eggs, homefires, sausage and toast breakfast.
And with an expanded menu they have so many choices beyond the menu! When I asked for sausage she was like, patty, turkey, hot, veggie... the list went on! I had to hear them twice! My homefries were good, I added onion and pepper to the mix, I just wish they would have been a tad crispier.
The place really does have it's own identity, with the red vinyl booths and memorabilia on the walls. Service was friendly, but remember they are CASH ONLY!
