9 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Finleyville

“Must have passed by this place a thousand times. Neighbors told us that they heard it was really good so we made a point to stop in. Glad we did. This is the kind of neighborhood diner we miss. It's open for breakfasts and lunches only; it's clearly run by a family and friends; it focuses on what they can produce; and the portions are huge for the prices you pay!We went in for lunch so we got the spicy chicken wrap and the trio salads. Neither were finished and came home in a doggie bag. The wrap does not come with any sides, although you can order them separately, I did not. Good thing I did not since I could not finish the wrap. "Spice" was provided by the banana peppers and the pepper jack cheese, so if you are a real chili-head, this will not impress you. I asked for a hot sauce and was offered Frank's Hot and also saw some Tabasco laying around. The wrap itself was a 12 inch tortilla and this was generously stuffed!The trio salad was three huge mounds of chicken, tuna and egg salads along with slices of tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, pickles, lettuce, and green peppers. Enough for three meals!The place was busy and many of the people we saw were regulars. Staff was clearly family and there was a lot of kidding around - which did not mean that they were not professional - they took care of everything as they should. The place is cash only, so bring real money. Prices are moderate, and even inexpensive when you consider how much food they give you.They have two menus: A lunch and a breakfast one. Both are very large. While we had lunch, we noticed many of the other tables were eating breakfast. Those offerings looked good so we will probably make a point of coming back some day to try some of those as well.“

“Today, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for brunch. We were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional customer service and high-quality food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the meat lovers omelette, while I was not particularly fond of the pancakes, but the waffles were absolutely delicious.“

“Food and quantity was good. Place was packed at 11. Have to wait for some time to be seated. Think pancakes, sausage was nice and spicy, waffles were really good. Hot chocolate was not good and too sugary ended up dumping. The service was courteous. Parking if you get the spot behind it's good. Otherwise street parking only.“

“This was a really nice First Watch location! Very open atmosphere and a good amount of seating. Service was quick and the food came out fast as well! Definitely recommend their salads here but everything we have had here has been top notch! We will be back “

“What a wonderful place! The service was great. The food was amazing! We had lunch. My burger was delicious but the potato pancakes side stole the show. I also tried some of my Aunt's quesadilla and it was wonderful too. Will go back many times in the future. Highly recommend.“

“Best food, best service, awesome vibe. My new favorite breakfast place. Picky teenager approved also!*Have to edit* for some reason it didn’t have an option for the eggs Benedict on the reviews but it should be!!! Best traditional eggs Benedict I’ve ever had!!!“

“JT's is the real deal. A proper neighborhood diner with tons of charm. Last weekend I took my sister there for lunch on Saturday. I had the fried bologna sandwich that also had Islam's Chip Chopped Ham on it. It was insaneley good, with fresh grilled banna peppers and melted cheese. It was such a supremely Pittsburgh sandwich that the fries/coleslaw brothers would have blushed. I also had a bowl of the lentil soup, which was so flavorful it was definitely homemade. Lunch was so good, I went back with a friend for breakfast the next day and had a mixed grill breakfast dish with spicey sausage. It was amazing. And we shared some potato pancakes that were veryy tasty with excellent soft in the middle texture. This is a must stop when you're in Brentwood.“

“While they’ve been in Upper St. Clair for a while, and as a chain, have six outposts now, we’ve never been to one of these locations, so we drove in on a weekday. At first, we were not even sure it was open as there were no cars in the parking lot! The lights were on though, so we parked and walked in. Turns out that they only open at 8 AM and we got there at 8:02, so we were the first ones there. I find that somewhat strange for a breakfast and lunch place, as I would have expected to have opened earlier, but what do I know?The menu is quite comprehensive with lots of options and variety of breakfast and brunch offerings. Check out both sides of the menu! On the coffee side, they offer one coffee, but do have an espresso machine so you can get all kinds of espresso drinks, if you so desire. We tried their regular coffee and it come in a small 4 Ounce mug – which they did refill upon request.For our first time, we selected the Breakfast Magic waffle, and the Country Mile. The waffle comes with green onions, bacon crumbles, and cheddar cheese crumbles and an egg on top. The menu states the batter also contains the green onions, bacon and cheese, but we did not detect them. A plop of sour cream accompanies this. The waffle was fluffy enough, but we felt it was pretty ordinary in flavor.The Country mile is a mushroom cheese omelet folded on top of a sausage patty which is then placed between two slices of Italian bread. It is supposed to have a spicy Mayo as well. What we got tasted like Russian dressing. Ordinarily, it comes with a side of potato chips, but we asked for a swap to their home fries, which they did – for an upcharge. Unfortunately, the potatoes were super salty! I took a closeup picture of the and attached it, you can see the salt crystals!I gave this place a four-star rating because the food was decent – although super salty – and the selection is large. Getting in and out of their parking lot in the morning can only be done from one direction which is a hassle. The staff was incredibly nice (which increased the rating!) but overall, it was just OK…“

“Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid-friendly. There is a dedicated kids menu with crayons and activities. The food selections are fairly good. Most of them involve eggs, understandably, but if your child has egg allergies they're limited to pancakes or a waffle.“
