I'm a breakfast cook in a VERY busy restaurant and I try to not be too critical of other spots but this was, without question the WORST breakfast I've had maybe ever! Sign in front says, "Voted best breakfast in the city". Has almost 5 star reviews. Advertises Charcoal Grilled steak and eggs. The steak looked like a piece of gristle that had lost a hatchet fight, was coated in raw dry oregano flakes and was definitely NO WHERE NEAR a charcoal grill. I couldn't even find my potatoes under all the spices they were soaked in. 1 bite was all I could swallow. The people were very nice, the eggs were ok and the toast wasn't burnt. That's all the good there was. NEVER AGAIN!

Unassuming diner with food that generally exceeded expectations. Great home fries and pancakes. Primary negatives are that it's cash-only (ATM available) and they only serve "hard" fried eggs.

My first trip to Pittsburgh and looking for breakfast I come upon this little cafe On Forbes Ave. A charming little nook open Monday-Friday and only for breakfast and lunch. They only accept cash so have some handy or use the ATM that is will be directly behind you when placing your order. The nicest, friendliest staff and great food. For the breakfast and lunch rush the have an upstairs area otherwise you are on the main floor. Prices are very reasonable as they cater to their many regulars at the courthouse and nearby businesses ( this means you won't get shafted by tourist prices). I opted for the Western Omelette with potatoes, toast, and tea that cost $10.95 and worth every penny. Definitely making the stop on any return trips.

The owner is atrocious. Very unprofessional and just plain rude. The food is ok and wait staff is great. However the owner makes this a place I never want to visit again!

Loved it here! Just a cozy little place that has a delicious breakfast menu. I am glad we chose to go here, I got the western omelet and it was so good!
Not the place to take a date, lol. Almost a cafeteria-type "establishment." Food was ok. Nothing special, but it was very cheap. Unless you're looking for cheap eats, I'd skip it.

I didn't have high hopes for this spot but was pleasantly surprised! The Rueben was really good. It was pretty standard with nothing really special about it but it was tasty. The prices were good for downtown. The ladies working there seemed to know everyone by name. I will surely be going back to try more. It being cash only is makes it difficult for those of us who don't have cash and don't want to pay an ATM fee.
