They were a bit pricey to me. I wouldn't be upset over the price if my food tasted better. The salmon tasted like dirt to me and is the worst salmon I've had. I even tried adding different seasoning and grilling it a few minutes and it still tasted like dirt. I spent like 54 dollars on my meal and my boyfriend got a burger and fries. I don't go out to eat much because I can't afford it all the time so it's really a bummer when I can't even enjoy it. I got a decent amount of salmon but threw over half of it away because I couldn't get past the taste.

This place is really good. Waffles, steak and egg plates, ALL cooked perfectly. The staff is so kind. Highly recommend. It isn't a fancy place but it's clean and cute inside.

For a hole in the wall little breakfast spot I’d have to say is amazing, this places Mexican\American style plate hit the spot! The staff here are very friendly and accommodating.
The food is very flavorful, I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito something you can’t really mess up for something so simple and this did not disappoint! The red potatoes on the side seasoned very well!
Definitely a place worth checking out!

Visited after a very long day of travel from the east coast, was met with incredible fish and chips and fast, friendly service. Perfect lunch!

Ordered a quesadillas that was very dry, didn't come with any salad, no sour cream, no guacamole, no lettuce. Just dry chicken and barely any cheese. With a watery diet coke on the side. Don't waste your money
Food: The Huevos Rancheros and Smoked Salmon were prepared to perfection. The tortilla worked very well with the beans, salsa, avocado and runny eggs. They have huge servings so it's worth the buck.
Service: Everybody was friendly, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations.
Ambiance: Family diner feel. Good for weekend brunches with friends and families with kids.
Value: Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service.

Great place to get breakfast. The food was great, but we unanimously agree the country potatoes were really good. The service was great. It’s a small place, they do have outside seating but not a lot. 3-4 people would be perfect in an environment like this. Overall a perfect spot to get coffee and a great meal to start the morning fresh.

I really try to support businesses in downtown Pittsburg. This one didn't measure up. The restaurant has a moldy smell. the food was subpar. my eggs were runny and undercooked.The bacon looked as if it had been pre-cooked earlier then served later. The waffle was fair.

I doordashed breakfast from this restaurant today and my order arrived with missing items. I ordered the waffle combo and all I got was the waffle to be exact. I did call and speak with the owner of the restaurant and although he was very apologetic and very nice It's still disappointing to order breakfast and not get what you paid for. I will say though the food was delicious.

This is a great little place with very friendly people who will greet you as a regular after your second visit. On my first visit I pointed out that they weren't making their Reuben right. They immediately researched what a Reuben was on the internet and came out to show me that they did have pastrami in the freezer and no one had taken it out. The next time I visited they had a great pastrami Reuben with sauerkraut and all the right fixings. They also have a lot of other food but I always have the Reuben. I can get it with a salad and their salads are excellent and so is the blue cheese dressing.

I ordered through Doordash. We ordered breakfast and lunch for later and everything we got was so good. The best surprise to wake up too! My new favorite.

service was fast. chorizo breakfast burrito was really disappointing, and small portion for $18 (incl tip). Side of potatoes were undercooked which made them a bit soggy. Unfortunately I wouldn’t return

Great staff and very accommodating.
The food was good. I was really happy with it.
There are some issues, however.
The coffee sucks. That is huge for me. It tastes watered down.
I changed tables once because I thought the diners at the next table had bathed in perfume. Well, no. Same smell on the opposite side of the restaurant. I’m not sure what air freshener they use, but it’s not good and I won’t return as a result. I still smell the cloying sweet odor and I don’t like it.
Finally…the silverware is insubstantial. Serious food. Serious utensils, please.
