My husband and I decided to venture out and find a diner we hadn't been to before for breakfast. I had the West Coast Benedict and my husband got the All-American Breakfast. You shall want not for more food! The servings were great and we were out the door under $20. The kitchen is open, but it didn't bother us... More

I was recently in Pittsburgh to teach a polymer clay workshop, and my hostess asked if I would like to go out to breakfast before I returned to Texas; and boy howdy, it was breakfast and then some. This is a dinky little hole in the wall that classifies as a genuine find--no wonder that locals were packing the place... More

Breakfast and lunch, and that's it. Diner food in a fun atmosphere. Breakfast seems to be their specialty, and they have tasty specials for breakfast, that does take it beyond 'diner' food. It's a popular spot, so you may have to wait. Featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

We had hoagies for lunch and those were good but not exceptional. Most people seem to come for breakfast and had plates full of food for a cheap price. On the downside, expect to wait to be seated (30 min in our case). A true DD&D (practice the hunge)

I cannot believe that anyone would rate this place as a great place to eat. It is super over crowded and the breakfast food is average at best. It's not horrible or anything, but to call it great is simply a lie.

We had lunch at dor stop after reading the good reviews. These were completely misleading. Food was just average and very greasy. If you are looking for good american food there are many other places to be taken into consideration.

This place is great. Local, homemade, and the only place I can find that makes true potato pancakes which I love. My fiance and I have gone there several times for the great menu, and the convenient location. However, we have two problems that have honestly discouraged is from coming back. One is their tradition of bolting the door at... More

I've been here more times than I can remember and brought all of my friends from out of state to eat here and we are never disappointed! Everything is great in the menu and whatever they invent that day is great as well! The restaurant and the employees give a homey atmosphere to everyone who goes. It truly is a... More

Not disappointed. Figured it would be busy on a Sunday, so arrived about 8:30. No waiting. Quick and efficient service. Great dinner food. Sausage and egg omelette and strawberry french toast. All told, excellent value. Totally worth it.

The location and atmosphere are great. Very hometown for us. Loved the atmosphere. True Pittsburgh. We brought some friends in that were visiting from Connecticut and they loved it too. Breakfast food was really good. Home made and fresh, which we love. A Pittsburgh treasure
