Here's a combo that you'll rarely find:
-Family owned and operated
-Homemade (and delicious) food
-Nutritional Information for the entire menu
There's something special about interacting with the same person who came up with the original recipes. If you happen to order Nellie's rice, you'll have a pretty good chance of Nellie serving it to you (or packing up your order).
The prices are on par with just about any quick-service restaurant down-town, but the quality and care are quite a bit more. You can eat out, affordably, enjoy plenty of flavor and an ample amount of food...without smelling like a garlic bomb or like you need to take a nap.
They're a PGH Sustainable Restaurant and there menu has plenty to please any type of dietary requirement.
This is a routine stop for me when I'm looking to pick up a late lunch, or early dinner especially when I'm down-town.
