Service could improve some as my daughter, whom I was meeting for breakfast arrived ahead of me, told a server that she was waiting on me and the person gave another patron the next available table. We had to wait about 15 additional minutes to finally grab seats at the counter. When we ordered the server did not suggest beverages and we had to get her attention to add them to our order. Food was good though.

I went to this restaurant just a short while ago intending to grab a takeout breakfast before I go to work. Upon entrance there was a party of two waiting for food and a family of three preparing to leave. There was a family of three that walked in right behind me that the staff seemed familiar with. I ordered a French toast and an egg. The party of three ordered after me. Two more individuals walked in after me and placed their orders. Maybe 10 minutes after me. As I sat in my car. I noticed people getting served that had ordered after me. I walked in the restaurant and sat and waited 22 minutes as I watched the cook. Not yet start my food but complete all of everyone else's orders. I do not choose to State why I believe this occurred but I will say that it needs to change. I was very much the only person of my demographic in the venue at that time and to wait 22 minutes for my food to never be started. Seems a bit irrational and extreme. I myself am a chef and I would also call it unprofessional and discriminatory. Based on my own ethical understanding. There was no good reason as to why my order wasn't started at all. He didn't even attempt to grab the bread for my French toast until I said I was canceling my order. I left 26 minutes later with no food. I do not suggest this place if you are not going to fit into the demographic that they prefer to cater to. Management. No need to apologize or offer me anything. I will never return there and I'm going to advise anyone. I know of a similar demographic to myself to stay away from there

It's a nice little charming place. Unfortunately the service and food are not good at all. I got a cheeseburger for 10 dollars, doesnt come with fries or anything, and it tasted as if the meat was either old or washed with soap. The ketchup tasted like it has way too much sugar in it. The tomato was cut diagonally with 1 inch to 1/8 inch. I ate it because I was hungry not because it was good. We didn't have time to find another place close by so we just ate our food and wanted to leave fast.My gf got the breakfast special, but couldn't eat the eggs and sausage because it was too greasy. They didnt take the requested 5 bucks off for that. She's not a picky eater either. We should have left though because the server didn't give us our bill when she took the plates and then dissappeared. We were there an extra 30 minutes. I don't know how this place stays in business. If the food was cheaper I would get it. But it's not good for the price it's at. Any 5 star reviews have to be lies, people working there or friends of theirs.This place goes by 2 names as well. House of Breakfast and Olympic cafe. I'm not trying to be rude either, places like this is why it's hard to try new places.

I ignored this place for a while because of some of the reviews and wish I had not. I will eat here again and enjoyed the experience but admit it won’t be for everyone - this sure as hell ain’t ihop. The cook might scowl at you and he definitely takes his time, but the pancakes will be fluffy and fully cooked (I saw him check most fast order cooks don’t care). I watched him cooking for an hour he is patient and diligent - much respect. Hash browns looked great, rice meals looked great, eggs looked great. And being from Pittsburgh originally, I love the old cramped wood paneled atmosphere of the place. I think the bad reviews speak more of those reviewers tbh
Takes forever to get your food and they don't accept debit cards / credit only cash because they don't want to report tax I called consumer affairs

Hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop restaurant, service is not so, the food is okay, they have one cook into Mexican helpers, the place is small and rundown, an old Korean woman runs the place with a bad attitude.

I was really hungry so I stopped here at 12:30 PM. The sign and Google said they close at 1 but they wouldn't let me eat there even though there was a whole half hour left before their closing time, and there were several people sitting in there eating. I've worked in food before and I get it's annoying to have people come in close to closing, but a whole half hour before closing is not that close. I drove a little ways to come to this place too and I was really hungry so I'm very annoyed
Amazing breakfast! Highly recommend eating here if you are in the mood for a fantastic basic breakfast or even more than basic. The food was delicious and the cook was incredible!
