Ritter's Diner

This place is awesome!!! The staff is so nice and talks to you like family. Ruth was awesome. The food is so good. I brought friends from NJ and they absolutely loved it. The Reuben was great, the meatloaf was awesome, the omelette was delish. Even the home fries were perfect and crispy. The ambiance is great too. It's got old school vibes with the tabletop jukeboxes and the diner bar seating. Love the big space in the back too with so much light. What a gem. I can't believe it took me so long to come here. My partner used to come here all the time in college and loved it. The coffee here is so good too and usually diner coffee isn't!

Good spot for a quick meal. Cash only. Like other places they have raised prices.Just posting updated menu photos.

Classic old school diner vibe. Food is decent and service is good! No complaints.....love their breakfast

A perfect old-school diner. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Just a classic diner offering diner food exactly how you want it.

Excellent food, great "diner" atmosphere, and good service. Parking can be limited but there is street parking in addition to their lot behind the building.

Quick service and no frills - truly a classic breakfast diner. I ordered scrambled eggs with home fries, bacon, and toast. The home fries are crispy on the outside, and the bacon has the perfect amount of crunch.Note that it's cash only!

Nostalgic Pittsburgh diner. Great service and cozy atmosphere . The omelettes and pancakes hit the spot and portions are generous!

Way overrated and went WAY DOWNHILL!For perspective... it wasn't even busy, about a quarter full (empty counter but for 2 stools; about 8 empty booths.) Home fries were horribly prepared - most tasted like they were boiled, except for the charred ones which had to be cut with a knife! Toast was way undone, not cut through and butter (margerine) piled in the middle and not spread. Waitress gave no napkins but for the one with their very cheap horrible flatware. Worst breakfast I ever had there, except for the tomato juice with a nice chunk of lemon and the eggs (but ordered 3 got 2.) Be a while til I go back.

Ritter's is one of those classic Pittsburgh diners that just remind you of home and comfort. I hadn't been in years, so we decided to stop in for breakfast a few weekends ago. They have a parking lot across the street which makes it easy to park, especially in Shadyside. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and my husband ordered the corn beef hash breakfast. His came with eggs and toast. Our waitress was great and attentive. Our food came out quickly and everything tasted good. Our total bill was approx $17, so prices are great here! If you're in the mood for some nostalgia and comfort food, be sure to check out Ritter's! Ps- they are cash only, so be prepared. They do have an ATM on site as well.

Old classic diner feel and service with mediocre food and coffee. Adequate but not stellar. Seemed family owned and was happy to support just the same.
