23 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“My family went for lunch on Saturday, the place was absolutely packed! And for good reason, the food was absolutely delicious! And the service we received from our waiter was perfect. Elijah was very attentive and always happy to meet my toddlers many requests 😅 Also would like to add that even though they were super busy, it took them less than 10 minutes to get us seated and the food didn’t take long to come out at all. All the food was hot and fresh, even the strawberries were freshly cut. We will definitely be spending many more breakfast and lunch dates here!“

“We went this morning to eat some brunch and celebrate after my daughter Arya got a 2nd chance in life (transplant). After Alexa (our waitress) heard about our story, management came to us and said everything was on them. Definitely filled us with joy with such a kind act. Can’t wait to go again after this beautiful experience!! Look at the customer #PrayforArya!!!“

“This was probably my fourth time going to the restaurant and my waitress. Victoria was phenomenal. I still remember my first time and I forget the waitress’s name but she also was phenomenal. Very complementary just like Victoria so it makes the experience very much more personable. The food and the drinks were great. I definitely enjoy the atmosphere. It reminds me of going to a friend’s house for a meal. If you’d like a cozy intimate place I recommend here. You will be in close proximity to other patrons, however that doesn’t distract or deter from the experience, especially if you’re someone who again likes an intimate experience. I ordered the pistachio pancakes. They were amazing. If you have a nut allergen, obviously you can’t get them but if you don’t, it taste amazing. I also had an espresso martini that was super tasty and the hot chocolate is also great. I tried a new item which is the fried Elote balls which kind of reminds me of hush puppies but with a little spicy cake it has the whole corn kernel in it so I’m definitely a fan of those and I recommend trying them“

“We wanted to try something new and wow this place was amazing. What a great choice! Once I saw cevappi (delicious Balkan Sausage) in the menu, I stopped looking. You can’t get it anywhere around here. That plus the amazing home fries that were super crispy and delicious. My husband loved his chicken schwarma which was super flavorful. I loved all the sauces in it too. You must come check it out. Everyone was really friendly and wanted to make sure you were happy which is rare anymore.“

“Lindo’s is such a gem for breakfast! The food was delicious and really hit the spot. I ordered the turkey gravy sandwich, and it was comforting, flavorful, and just plain yummy. The eggs were cooked perfectly, which sounds simple, but really makes all the difference.

What made the experience even better was the staff — friendly, welcoming, and the kind of people who set the tone for a great morning. Between the tasty food and the warm service, Lindo’s is the kind of place you want to start your day at. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This place used to be Gary's. They did a very nice remodel! The place is bright an clean. The food coffee, and service are great. FINALLY someone who knows how to cook over easy eggs!“

“Best pancakes! Great service. Highly recommend!“

“Had a morning appointment on Liberty Ave. & Stopped in for breakfast after. Saw the special for 2 eggs, sausage, hash browns & toast for under $7 & had to stop in. Quite the neighborhood, yinzer, diner feel. Lil small but accommodating seating. Cozy. The wait staff was quick, efficient & personable. Rocky was cooking away & catching up with some Steeler news with the locals. Stools are a lil shorter than your usual ones which is accommodating for shorter folks. I sat at the bar & deliciously watched my food sizzle, simmer, & cook to perfection. Couple of cuppas of coffee & a hearty breakfast had me ready for the day. Everything you needed was at your bars & tables (hand sanitizer, salt, pepper, Heinz ketchup, hot sauce, sugar creamer, grape jelly). The folks were fine with chatting up about anything local & interesting, others were having a quiet breakfast scrolling through their phone feed. The menu was short and to the point. A few specials on the front, a la carte as well. Everything was reasonably and affordably priced. Tables were neat and tidy. There was also a small collection of movies & music for sale too. Couple of classics in VHS, DVD, CDs & Casset tapes.

Parking: Park in front for standard fare. Catch a side street spot if you're lucky.“

“Great food. Close to the amphitheater“

“We came to this location for our first time experience and Patrick was our server. We had the BEST breakfast experience!!!!!! Patrick was absolutely amazing, even with how insanely busy the place was he was tentatively checking in on us, being helpful, and overall just an AWESOME server. Food was absolutely lovely as well and we were in and out very quickly. We would highly recommend dining here :)“
