The ultimate breakfast spot in Pittsburgh. Make sure to check out their hotcakes (a favorite of President Obama). Also, remember to get there early and bring cash.- Mandy, Marketing Coordinator

We travel and eat a lot! local family insisted we go here for bfast . The strawberry hot cakes are incredible! Lyonnaise potatoes I could eat daily, as I think they are seasoned with magic :)

Awesome place for a sumptuous brunch , and worth the wait to be seated. Had a Tex-Mex omelette , which I enjoyed (see photo) ...And bring cash - no credit cards accepted.

The croissant French toast and corned beef and Swiss omelette are delicious! Look for a piece of paper to sign your name and party number, so you have a place in line (no host). Cash only . Worth it.
