★★★★★ 4.9 (21)

"How many times have you been on the go and all you want to eat is a breakfast sammy? Well us GF folk had ZERO options for a drive thru in the burgh that offers one until now.

They also offer Vegan Egg & Cheese options!Pumpkin Spice Latte with Oat Milk Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Gluten Free Bread(Not pictured) Bacon, Plant Based Egg & Cheese on a bagel for my passenger"

Tapville Social - Wexford

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (95)

"3.5 stars. Tapville Social has locations across the U.S., and this one is locally owned and operated. The restaurant and bar serves foods, beers, wines, and other beverages. My husband and I ate brunch at this location in Wexford one time, and we had an overall "OK" experience. Please see my attached photos for the menus in August 2024. I had made a reservation through OpenTable, but we did not need it because many tables were available. An employee held a door open for us and courteously greeted us. Another employee was our waitress, and she provided timely and friendly service.They had given us a "Pour Pass" that we could use with our table-top tablet/kiosk to order, but instead the waitress took our order for beverages and foods.Here are my ratings for our foods and beverages:Mimosa flight - 4 stars - I received four flavors: classic, rose (my favorite because it was very sweet), mango, and blueberry. Lemon-ricotta pancakes - 4 stars - Five pancakes were topped with some syrup, cream, and blueberries. I would recommend adding more syrup, but I did enjoy the flavors.Bacon - 4.5 stars - These few slices of bacon were crispy.Fruit - 4 stars - The blueberries, strawberries, and orange slices were fresh. Loaded nacho tower - 2 stars - My husband ate these nachos. He described them as "cheap" and "suck." Please note that he requested no tomatoes. He would have preferred that more cheese be added and that the nachos be served warm rather than cold. I took a few bites, and I thought that they were OK. We did not use the self-pour taps, but dozens of beers, ciders, wines, etcetera were available."

Upstreet Diner

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $$

"Upstreet Diner is a delightful culinary gem in Pittsburgh, nestled in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood, around the corner from both my son and daughter. We all met here for our final breakfast after a week's visit and it was a treat with outstanding food and staff. They offer a unique and inviting atmosphere, a fusion of American and Turkish cuisine, and an array of mouthwatering dishes. Since its opening in 2021, this cozy establishment has quickly become a local favorite, attracting patrons with its great breakfast, brunch, and lunch options.Upstreet Diner was founded by chef and owner Emre Ozen, whos goal was to create a welcoming eatery that combined his passion for food with his love for the Pittsburgh community. After obtaining degrees in hotel management and culinary arts, Ozen brought his extensive experience to the Steel City, ultimately choosing Squirrel Hill as the perfect location for his first restaurant venture, and he nailed it. Upon entering Upstreet Diner, we were greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance that reflects the restaurant's friendly, neighborhood vibe. The space has cozy seating arrangements, natural light streaming in through large windows, and tasteful decor. Indeed their menu is a testament to Chef Ozen's diverse culinary background, offering a delightful fusion of American and Turkish flavors serving breakfast, brunch, and lunch seven days a week. While every dish we had was a delight, some standout items, according to others, have become fast favorites:* Deluxe-shuka: Two eggs, cevapi, and potato in house-made tomato sauce, topped with sheep feta, green onions, and harissa, served with a side of toast.* Avocado Toast: A flavorful combination of avocado, pickled red onions, and feta cheese atop toasted sourdough bread.* Salmon Omelette: A delicate and satisfying omelette filled with smoked salmon, spinach, and cream cheese, served with a side salad.On our visit my daughter really enjoyed the Ben-eddict-ive with eight layers of thin dough cheese pastry topped with mortadella overeasy egg, and hollandaise aioli, side of Israeli salad. My son-in-law thought the Deluxe-shuka with two eggs, cevapi, and potato in house-madetomato sauce, topped with sheep feta, green onions, and harissa side of toast. My honey very much enjoyed the Spanish feta omelette with baby spinach, sun-dried tomato, and sheep feta omelet, topped with horseradish & chive cheddar cheese, she remarked on how light and fresh it was. My son and I had the simple Scramble which is scrambled eggs, green onion,  side of Sujuk which is a mildly spicy breakfast sausage that's%100 beef, and amazing, with  homefries and toast. It was tasty and fresh but the was the star! Bottom line: This place is very trendy, clean, and comfortable with a very attentive and delightful staff that serve up some 5 star fresh food at a reasonable price that is a great spot in Squirrel Hill. Highly recommend!!!! Upstreet Diner is open seven days a week: Monday - Sunday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PMVisit their website at www.upstreetdiner.com for more information, or connect with them on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/upstreetdiner."

Wunderbar Coffee and Bistro

★★★★★ 4.7 (9)

"Welcome to the neighborhood. It's my belief there can never be too many coffee/ tea spots to turn to. Love the variety each place offers. Wunderbar offers a wide menu of food and drinks. Great environment for individual or group gatherings."

Rocky's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (20) • $

"Rocky's is the kind of place my family loves, and I look at them like they are crazy. Extremely greasy, divey joints are not my thing. At all. But they dragged me here one Saturday morning, and Rocky's is what it is. No frills divey breakfast.Exceptionally greasy food makes me ill, and Rocky's succeeded at doing that. I don't eat potatoes, and every breakfast meal option came with potatoes. There is no variety, the menu has 10 things tops. To top that off, they were out of a lot of things. But you know what? Where else can you go for breakfast and eat for around $5 per person including a drink?No bathrooms. They must be grandfathered in, or they are just running a super illegal business. Either way, when you are feeling violently ill after eating a meal here or just need to pee from drinking coffee, you'll be miserable, if you are like me.Why three stars? Because my dad is watching me type this and told me that I couldn't give them two. So for my dad and the cheap prices, three stars. Bring your family members ages 50+ here. They'll appreciate it."

Kelly Os Diner - Warrendale

★★★★☆ 4.3 (71) • $$

"We just had an amazing lunch at KellyO's. We had the Pittsburgh Eggs Benedict some corn beef hash and the hot Roast Beef Sandwich. Everything was amazing as well as our server Alisha. She was so happy kind and wonderful! We love this place and definitely will return and recommend it to others."

Plaza Pantry

★★★★★ 5 (8) • $$

"The place is really small but the breakfast is really good the ultimate extreme omelette is awesome and two people can get full on it and the pancakes are very good and huge I have yet to be disappointed it is regular diner food not gourmet but I highly recommend it"

Beach House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (56) • $$

"This place is great! It's smaller and always busy so be prepared to wait. Also quick tip: They only accept cash. They do have an ATM there that you can use. We were seated right away, our waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Buffalo chicken frittata with hash browns. The serving was HUGE! It tasted really good. The hot sauce wasn't overpowering and the chicken was perfect.I'm not a big fan of eggs but this really hit the spot. My boyfriend ordered the big beach and ate the entire thing. Sometimes I don't know how he does it! He did manage to get a few words out in between bites about how delicious it was. We both really enjoyed our meals here. The breakfast is spectacular! Hope to try out the lunch menu soon."

Heggy's Candy

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"Their chocolate is locally famous and in my opinion, delicious. As for the restaurant portion: What you you see is what you get. Very dated but cozy. If you want food you can cook at home served with a smiling face, this place is for you. I've had a burger here (a bit dry and over cooked) and chicken tenders (enjoyed them, nice crust to meat ratio). This place is old-school in appearance and service. It's a place I will most likely continue to eat."

Cafe One Eleven

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"I really wanted to like this place but...they stop serving breakfast early at 10:30. We got there just minutes after so had to order from the lunch menu. I got a bacon egg sandwich just on white bread and husband had a BLT. Both sandwiches were just average and too pricey. Don't think we'll be going back."

Kelly O's Diner

★★★★☆ 4.1 (444) • $$

"This is one of my go to breakfast place in Pittsburgh. It's a classic diner vibe and you can't go wrong with almost anything on the menu. The service is quick and the staff are friendly. I often get the raisin French toast which is amazing! I'm not sure why more people don't make raisin bread into French toast... it's so good! Also I had a side of bacon which was cooked well and you get like 3-4 large bacon pieces with the side which is nice."

"The Runner Stone Mill House Restaurant & Bar Coraopolis PA Wed 2/16/22©Arrived to Pittsburgh late in the evening and headed to my hotel Marriott Bonvoy, 10 minutes Uber ride from the Pittsburgh Airport, dreaming of food at the Runner Stone Mill House, I researched on the plane. Glad to learn they serve full restaurant menu at the bar till Midnight, what would we do otherwise? Met up with my associates at the lounge and had a meal at the hotel restaurant & bar. Eat, drink, and call it a day!Runner Stone Mill House Restaurant & Bar serves American fare. Chick atmosphere at the bar. I imagine dining by the large windows during daytime is very nice. Elegant ambience and convenient setting, fully approved by yours truly!My late night dinner had to be the ribs! Absolutely excellent, scrumptious plate that I have had, truly surprised me, or perhaps I was too hungry? It comes with a side of coleslaw, delicious. All food consumed pretty fast behind the conversation, as we had to put our heads together in preparation for the morning business meetings.Cocktails, wines, and local brews are available at the Mill House bar. I had old fashioned and tomato juice with my ribs. Diverse menu with seasonal ingredients will serve you well.Other food ordered were fish tacos, served with a side of house salad or Caesar salad, my colleagues immensely enjoyed. Dinner Caesar salad with grilled salmon, also fresh and a perfect meal!Runner Stone Mill House seems quite popular, there were several more groups like ours, all well distanced, immersed into their business.I've learned that breakfast is served from 6am to 10am every day. The bar is open from 5pm to 12am Sunday through Thursday & from 4pm to midnight on Fridays & Saturdays.All in all, great food and great service, very clean and comfortable atmosphere.

Famous Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (58) • $$

"Ordered on 6/2/2024Ate List:- Napoleon Omlette, Score: 7.2- Side Salad, Score: 6.5- Sourdough Toast, Score: 6Love this location in Regent Square and staff was extremely kind. Service was VERY quick.The omlette was very light. It didn't have much to it though. I'm a western omlette fan and the closest was this and it only had ham and cheese in it. Everything was cooked well but I just didn't lobe there being basically a slice of ham folded in the omlette.The Salad was good. Very plain relatively. Had a delicious dressing. But my friend got the potatoes instead as a side and I immediately regretted my decision - get those.Sourdough Toast wasn't too toasted. Was warm, not hot. Toasted but not crispy.Would recommend this spot though and would go again."

New Story Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Stopped in to this cute little coffee house for a latte 30 mins before close on a Saturday afternoon. The barista was extremely social, chatting with me the entire time he made my drink. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the co-co latte. I subbed almond milk instead of regular milk and ordered a size medium. The latte was amazing, but it cost almost $8 after tip There is a variety of seating available inside and the space is bright and inviting. I think it's a good choice for coffee in the area."

Tender and tasty roast beef with grilled onions and mushrooms between light toasted sourdough.All the menu items looked good, prices were fair, and the place was clean, not to mention excellent service.I just found out there is another location not very far from us, and rest assured we will be going there often!"

My Mom got a side with her burger, so if you're super hungry I'd go with a double burger. I can't wait to go back to try the seafood!

The surf and turf was wonderfully displayed and delicious. The crab cake stole the show! The sea bass was great as well as the smoked filets. The salmon also got a raving review.

Highly recommend! We will return!"

George's Family Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (24) • $

"If you love American diners, this is the place for you! Not much to look at but aren't you there to eat?! George has been in business at this location for 46 years. When we were there, a multigenerational family left the dinner stopping to say goodbye to George and he knew all of the from the oldest to the youngest! They do accept credit cards but the tips are to be in cash.The coffee, which is a staple in the American diner, is delicious and has no bottom! We did breakfast on our visit. I got the bacon and cheese omelet with Italian bread toast that was ENORMOUS. My husband got The George breakfast with three eggs your way, rye toast, ham, and a pancake. Everything was delicious! Lynn was our very attentive waitress where we waited for nothing. She was on top of it. The kitchen was very expedient. Beautiful thing is, they serve breakfast all day (usually open only until 3pm)!Before we left, George brought us a special surprise as it was our first visit. I'm not going to give it away but, if you go, definitely get dessert!"
