The relaxed friendliness and prices of a diner, the food quality of a fine restaurant.
This has become my favorite place for breakfast, although it is a 15 minute drive for me. Notice that almost all the negative reviews focus on slow service. This is not the place to go if you are in a hurry, but good food is worth waiting for. The chef cooks the food for each order completely from scratch. You won't see a pile of home fries or bacon on the griddle like you will at a diner. I have experienced nothing but prompt, attentive, and very friendly service from the wait staff. To paraphrase Alan Watts, you cannot save time, you can only spend it, and MacDonald's is a horrible place to spend time; spend it a PapaGallo Cucina instead! Despite one of the reviews I read, there are good vegetarian options on the menu; perhaps they were added after that review, I don't know. I have ordered three different vegetarian breakfast items straight from the menu, including the only decent Huevos Rancheros I have yet found in Pittsburgh. $3.50 for a side may seem excessive, but the menu prices are lower than you will find at Eat -n- Park, and the quality significantly better.
