| - Was visiting Pittsburgh to bring my daughter as an incoming freshman to Duquesne University. Was staying at the Wyndham Grand downtown and all I wanted was a traditional diner breakfast. Found Cherries at Market Square and I got excited. Went in there and all the employees were sitting down watching tv. Lady came over to me to take my order but sounded like a high efficiency robot. Came off extremely rude the way she was in such a hurry. She looked at me crazy when I said I wanted my bacon deep fried. Where I'm from (south central PA) this is common to get bacon truly crispy. Anyway, I got the special for $6.99. 2 eggs, homefries, bacon, and 1 pc of French toast. Everything was prepared ok but the potatoes. They were chunky, soggy, and greasy, probably were sitting awhile. Stuff was not made to order but the eggs...I waited like 5 min. for my entire order. Maybe I'm spoiled. I grew up on diner food because my mom was a server. This diner was not anything I was used to. Not to mention, where I live, you can get 2 eggs, homefries, and toast for $1.99. So a breakfast like this would be far less. But still not a bad price for downtown Pittsburgh, just overall, not entirely pleased. That's why just 2 stars...
