| - While on a weekend trip in the 'Burgh, we ended up on Mt. Washington around brunch time on a Sunday. There seemed to be an endless amount of bars on Shiloh St., but not many establishments open around 10am. I'm generally a fan of diners, and this one ended up meeting my expectations. The breakfast food was your typical eggs, omlettes, breakfast sandwich, pancakes kind of fare, and the food was decently priced. I had a cheese omlette, which came with a side of toast and diced red skin potatoes. I was hoping for hashbrowns, but I'm pro-potato of any kind and they were perfectly prepared. My other half got the basic breakfast (eggs, sausage, toast, potatoes) and an order of pancakes. How do diners get their pancakes so fluffy?? It must be magic, because theirs were perfect.
The decor was minimal and the space was small, but it was clean and unassuming. I liked that the kitchen space was open to view. Also, we must have caught the end of the pre-church rush, as there was only one table for two available. There are probably around 10 tables here, max, so I can see how there might be issues getting a table during a busy time. Our server was really friendly and attentive, and brought me a water with my coffee without me asking! The only negative was that my toast didn't come with any kind of jam/jelly, and there wasn't any on the table. I'm sure I could have asked for some, but I was so full of pancakes that I didn't really need my toast!
This is a great place for breakfast if you end up on Mt. Washington and it's too early for a beer!
