this was my first time here and I'm telling you in my “outside voice” THIS WAS THE BEST BREAKFAST ON THIS SIDE OF THE VALLEY” ?? EVERYTHING WAS FRESH! COOKED HOMEMADE, not GREASY, oh my gosh! mmm THE BACON WAS FRESH AND CRISPY like BACON SHOULD BE, the SCRAMBLED EGGS WERE FRESH AND SEASONed WITH CHEESE, and the SAUSAGE LINKS WERE BOMB!! the WAITRESS WAS AWESOME! even the COFFEE WAS FRESH!
Vegetarian options: there is a handful on the menu already but the owner/cook would be happy to substitute anything the way you want it!???
Parking: you can park in the street and if you cant get in front of the diner then you can let your loved one out in front amd park along tbe street!

Breakfast gem of the valley! We've been to the Early Bird multiple times for breakfast and always have great food and a great experience. I'd recommend a giant pancake (12"+) and the great tasting sausage links. Food comes out fast, and the staff is always friendly. Reasonable prices for a breakfast guaranteed to leave you with leftovers.

I can't say enough good things about my breakfast this morning at The Early Bird Diner. This hidden treasure is sure to be my go-to spot for breakfast every time I'm in the Mon Valley with a hankering for a veggie omelet. The staff was friendly, and the whole look of the place had a throwback vibe that filled me with nostalgia for days gone by. As I already alluded to, the veggie omelet was "fire" (as the kids would say). Speaking of kids, my girlfriend's son was blown away by the size of the pancake! It was much bigger than his head, which is proven by the picture I've provided. My girlfriend and our friend Mike are both meatheads, and they enjoyed the variety of breakfast proteins...they both commented several times on the high quality of the bacon and sausage. My compliments to the chef, as well as the entire staff who made this breakfast experience one I'll always remember. I can't wait to go back!

Love The Early Bird! I make sure to stop in every time I’m near Donora. Great food, great service. I’ll be there this Saturday♥️

Pleasant local diner whose owners have lived in the community and know it’s history.The food is good comfort food. Breakfasts and lunches are the diner standards: I highly recommend their Combination sandwich. Burgers are also solid choices (mushroom/Swiss).You will be full and content, regardless of selection.Donorans past and present will appreciate that this is on the site of the former Costas’ Restaurant.And the coffee is mild, pleasantly warm and palate-pleasing.
