Ham and cheese omelet
Harvey G.

Seat yourself place. Restaurant was relatively clean. Waitress came around soon after I was seated and took my drink order. Came back with coffee and water and took my food order. Omelet and pancake came out quickly after. Omelet was more like a ham and cheese scramble which was fine by me. I ordered a pancake on the side, it's almost as big as the plate. Once the food was delivered the waitress stopped by and asked if everything was ok, and that's the last I saw of her. A family came in with a stroller and they made accommodations for the stroller right away. Owner came out as I was finishing and asked if I wanted more coffee. Overall good experience.

French toast, home fries, & turkey bacon.

My food was really good. It's small on the inside. The food came out pretty quickly. I had no issues at all.

Fluffy waffle
Michael B.

This is a solid diner joint in downtown Pittsburgh, aptly described by others as "no frills." It's basic breakfast and lunch dishes - nothing fancy but food is decent. I ordered the "fluffy waffles" with whipped cream and strawberries. The fruit isn't really fresh so much as it's like the canned / syrupy fruit. But the waffle with the toppings was good, and the lady Lisa was so nice and took good care of me, so not bad service. Would have given it 3.5 stars but will bump up for service and affordability.

My friend and I came to Cherries Diner for breakfast. Upon arriving, there was a line out the door; this got me excited as surely this meant the food here was fantastic. Sadly, that was not the case. I ordered an omelette but was disappointed that it was overcooked and somewhat burnt. I'm a fan of diners, and compared to most other diners, the food here was slightly below average. Nevertheless, the service here was quite good. Despite an entirely packed restaurant, the service speed was appropriate and well-paced, and we didn't have a long wait for our food.

I was in Market Square and I was starving. Cherries is a cute little restaurant in the square. I ordered the early bird special. It consists of 2 eggs bacon home fries and a large pancake. every thing was cooked great and the staff where very friendly. I was in and out in 5-8 minutes. Take out only so I ate in my car. Breakfast was very tasty and hit the spot. If I am in the area again and in need of breakfastI will definitely stop in again.

Early Bird Special.

Cherrie's diner is right down the street from our hotel. They have good reviews on Yelp, so we decided to try it out. I arrived shortly after it opened, and there were already several people at tables on a Saturday. I sat down at a table, and a server gave me a glass of water and said someone would be by to take my order. After 10 minutes, the server came to my table and I told him that I wanted to place an order for take away. He then took away my water and told me I would have to place my order at the window. I waited at the window for another 5 minutes and they finally took my order. I ordered two Early Bird Specials with over hard eggs, ham, and rye toast. I also ordered the cherry bomb pancake. It took about 20 minutes to receive my order. The Early Bird special was ok. The ham was very good, but the eggs were a mess. I'm not even sure I receive two whole eggs. Make sure you skip the cherry bomb pancake. It is a pancake with cherry pie filling dumped in the middle and folded over. It is supposed to have strawberries and blueberries, but I struggled to find more than one "mini-me" sized strawberry. Overall, Cherries Diner is an average diner, with menu descriptions that do not match what you will receive.

Cherries makes basic American breakfasts and lunches. A diner right off Market Square they work on the volume theory: sit down, order, eat, pay and get on with your day. The staff is courteous but not there to entertain you. The waitress goes around the room in a circle and takes care of needs as she goes. My Early Bird Special was correctly prepared and promptly served. Good, filling and value priced.

It was a typical retro-vintage stop inside, and I was forewarned by the veteran waitress they were open only for the next half-hour. I reassured her I was not planning to stay long. It must've been the end of a long shift for her because she was grumbling to the busboy about the other waitress who decided to leave early. This other woman, clearly the 'Kiss Mah Grits' type, alienated me by calling me Mr. Miyagi and cackling about it to the rest of the staff. I thought I might be expected to recite lines from "The Karate Kid". Instead I ordered the $11.25 Grilled Meatloaf Melt, which came with quite a slice covered in fried onions and melted Swiss cheese barely held together by the toasted rye bread. It was on the greasy side, and the fries were dried out (Photo 10). What would Mr. Miyagi say? FOOD - 3 stars...meatloaf and fries on the middling side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...classic diner with naugahyde SERVICE - 3 stars...a step back in time TOTAL - 3 stars...if you're in the mood for a greasy spoon RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

I had mentioned a nearby diner to a fan I met at the game the night before and he scoffed at me and told me all about DeLuca's. He was passionate about the hot sausage and the griddle toasted Italian bread and I knew we would give it a shot! Turns out, he was absolutely right! DeLuca's is exactly what I'm looking for in a diner! Old school place, seating was comfortable, and our waitress made us feel right at home! I went with the Steel City and that included everything! Pancakes (which our lovely waitress added complimentary bananas to), hot sausage, bacon, home fries, eggs, and Italian bread toast. Everything was cooked perfectly! Hot sausage and eggs made a perfect sandwich on that bread! My wife had a delicious omelette. Such a wonderful send off from Pittsburgh!

That's what I love about this awesome nostalgic diner. If you're in the strip district, you must come and visit!!!

From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was so charming and nostalgic, right down to the unbelievably reasonable prices. It's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and keeps you entertained the entire time you're there. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away with coffee and water while we looked over the menu. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the food being prepared right in front of us - the entire vibe of the room felt lively, authentic, and honestly hilarious at times. Between the conversations, the energy behind the counter, and the overall ambiance, it genuinely felt like dinner and a comedy show wrapped into one. We ordered the vegetable omelet and the pancake special, and both came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and comforting in the way classic breakfast spots should. You can tell this place has character, heart, and a loyal following for a reason. This is truly one of those spots that deserves way more attention and is 100% worth stopping into if you're in the area. And if you're a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you definitely need to check this place out!
