OK, so the spot has been open for a minute in Carrick, which is only like 2 miles from my home and…read moreI've been dying to try it. And let me tell you it does not disappoint. We got there early because I always see a line after like 11 AM so we got there a somewhere between 10 and 1030. We gave our name to the hostess and she let us know. It would be like a 20 minute wait you have to wait outside in your car or on the street due to the space restrictions inside which is no big deal. I don't even think we waited a full 20 minutes for our table to be ready. In the interim of waiting, we looked at the menu so we would know sort of what we wanted and when we sat down our server, Tia, I believe that was her name came over with the best energy, my brother and I both like we wanna start our day with her every day because she just was killing it. She offered feedback on menu items. She even suggested that I could get aside of something I was wanting, but I also knew that it would be too much and so I ended up getting the Philly cheesesteak omelette with a side of home fries, and she suggested that I get the side pancake up sold to the strawberry shortcake version which I didn't even know it was possible, but she was like no totally doable. My brother got the meat lovers omelette with a side of fries and a side of corned beef hash. Everything was hot. Everything was delicious. The flavors of everything just killed. And I would go back and scarfed down a whole plate of their strawberry shortcake pancakes, but for the fact that it would be too much food. If you haven't been you need to go this is like a cannot miss breakfast spot. Now I have to go back for lunch because they do wings and waffles (together!) they also offer sandwiches and other items. breakfast was just the tip of the iceberg. 10/10

Last weekend I was in the hospital and my wife asked if I wanted her to bring me something when she visited me. I had always wanted to try the food here, becasue it looks so amazing online, so I we agreed The Breakfast Spot was the place! I ordered the Reeses Pancakes while she ordered the French Toast Flight. That is where the fun stopped. When she arrived, I opened my container and was immediately disappointed. Not only was there barely any chocolate on the pancakes, but there wasnt any peanut butter. I was starving so I figured I will still give them a go. After a few bites, I honestly threw them in the trash and ate the hospital food. Almost no chocolate, no peanut butter and the driest I had ever eaten. The french toast flight was, at best, mediocre. The toast wasnt dry, however the toppings were flavorless and placed in one small lump in the middle of the bread. I was so excited to try this place but I couldn't have been more disappointed. Maybe take-out orders are just carelessly made? Maybe the food would be really good and they would make it properly if I ate it in the restaurant? Honestly, I dont want to risk wasting my money and time to try. I recommend avoiding this restaurant, especially for take-out. I dont want you to be disappointed like me.

Our usual go to breakfast chain has been so disappointing recently so we decided to give Trolley…read moreBarn a try and were pleasantly surprised. We weren't quite sure about the ordering at the register process. The menu offerings are on a chalkboard behind the register and the waitress was patient with us as we looked over everything. I ordered pancakes with bacon and coffee. The pancakes were just what you'd want when you think of pancakes. Good size, fluffy, and tasty. The three strips of bacon were cooked right, slightly crispy with a little chewy bite. The coffee was hot and kept hot with a frequent topper. Trolley Barn is exactly what you'd expect from a neighborhood place, everyone seemed to be regulars, and the decorating is very much a taste of a bygone era in a good way. Not really a diner, but definitely a casual place to get some good food. Staff was friendly, and my husband and I have definitely added Trolley Barn to our list of good places to get breakfast.

Welcome to the Friendship Perk & Brew! The best neighborhood coffee shop, restaurant and pre-covid…read morecommunity enter in Friendship, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Diane, the restaurant mgr. greeted me warmly at 8 am on a chilly Nov. morning. She must've thought, "who is this jaggoff?", as I walked in wearing my fuzzy corgi onesie (w/ matching corgi backpack) and my signature Hopper grin :o3 I bellied up to the counter, received a menu and we started chatting. Diane smiled at me and immediately asked me if I was a cook (I do agree that I have that vibe about me...). "I run a tight ship, but we take care of our cooks real good. I trust them and don't go back there to check on em'", Diane said in a kind, but surly manner. I could tell she had kids and probably grandkids, in the best way. They're also still looking for an additional cook so if any of this sounds good to you, come join the family! After the classic small talk, we started to get into the real topics at hand. I mentioned that I've been in recovery and just moved next door and was so gratefúl to have this place next door. Diane mentioned the owner, Nick Redondo, lost his son to an overdose the day after Thanksgiving in 2020 and pointed to the wall behind me. I turned around and saw the gallery wall of Nick's family photos, including his eldest, Nick Jr. Redondo, who we lost after his battle with drug addiction. His son was gorgeous, looking straight out of a vogue cover; classically handsome and fit, with a smoldering gaze. Diane mentioned Nick Sr., runs an outreach program regarding substance misuse and addiction called the "Fentanyl Fathers" and that he would be coming in with the morning pastries any time now. I knew this is where I was meant to be, I was home. Just as I finished that thought, Nick cruised in the back door with an absurdly large box of pastries in hand (Patty Cakes!!!) muttering about something that needed fixing. Diane and Nick shared quips about their mornings, the latest building news and how the batteries in the the milk frother just went out. I smiled as I eavesdropped, I could tell Nick and Diane were long-term friends. My breakfast burrito arrived, as Nick and Diane continued to exchange suggestions regarding fixing a pipe, but I tuned them out at this point, gazing at the perfectly crisp, browned potatoes and spectacular cross-section of this breakfast burrito specimen. I ordered a dirty chai latte, which was served in a mug, and a breakfast burrito with extra crispy bacon (obvi). Full disclosure, I'm somewhat of a breakfast burrito snop being from LA but let me tell you, it was perfect. The tortilla was grilled on both sides Each bite had the perfect egg, bacon, guac, pico and cheese ratio. The combination of the dirty chai and hearty burrito was like a little slice of heaven on this cold, dreary day.

I had my bridal shower at Friendship Perk & Brew. The space is cute and the event itself turned out…read morenice, but that was entirely thanks to my host and guests--not the ownership. Planning was frustrating from the start. Nothing was put in writing, and key details kept changing, sometimes with the owners acting like previous conversations never happened. We were originally told there would be a cook on-site to make sandwiches, then later they claimed that was never offered. They raised the rental price from the original quote and later added a $175 cleaning fee that hadn't been discussed--we ended up taking all the garbage with us to avoid that charge. There was also a clear disconnect in communication between the owners. Nick was pleasant and would tell us one thing, but his wife would contradict him and seemed annoyed. Overall, they didn't seem happy to have us there, which added unnecessary stress to what should have been a celebratory experience. They also threw out a bowl my hostess left behind (and inquired about quickly after) and were not apologetic. The shower turned out lovely, but that was in spite of the venue's management. I wouldn't recommend booking private events here unless communication and professionalism improve significantly.

I can't give this place a high enough rating. 1 billion trillion gagillion out of 5 if possible…read more My brother and I came here saturday morning after a run since it's been on the hitlist for a while. Possibly best decision we made all year. We literally came back and spun the block for round 2 sunday morning to show our dad, the kind staff can attest to this! The first day we went with the brisket sandwich on a plain biscuit, and sausage on an everything. Both were 10/10, and both of us thought we had the better sandwich and made it a competition to prove each other wrong somehow. We both had a bite of each and thought these could quite easily be the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had. They are genuinely that good. Now, onto the even crazier parts (the cinnamon roll). We got a box of pastries of course. The fluffernutter roll, cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookie, and the zucchini chocolate chip loaf. Best cinni roll we've ever had, hands down Fluffernutter was as good as it sounds, also a 10/10 As a chocolate chip cookie veteran, this one is decent. 6-7/10, I'd stick with getting the rolls personally The little zucchini loaf joint was good too, I've never had anything like that and it was like a good banana bread kinda deal (this probably isn't that helpful but all I know is that it tasted good man) Literally the next morning we ran it back to show Dad. Brother and I had to try the Bacon on plain next, and dad got the sausage. Again, best breakfast sandwich ever. Never had a biscuit this good, it's genuinely ridiculous. Got straight cinni rolls and the sticky bun this time. All hits no misses (that's for the married folks) I shall return with a vengeance

Examples of menu items are salads, bagels, crepes, pancakes, French toasts, waffles, omelettes, croissants, paninis and other sandwiches, and coffees. My husband and I ate one breakfast here on a Saturday morning. An employee immediately and courteously greeted us and seated us at a clean and spacious table. Soon she took our order and brought out our drinks and foods. At the end of the meal, she promptly processed our payment and thanked us. Here are my ratings for what my husband and I ate: Turkish Plate - 4.5 stars - I think that Gino might be Turkish, and this entree was one of the few Turkish menu items. It consisted of scrambled eggs, black olives, two cheeses, sliced tomato and cucumber, French fries, toasted bread, jelly, honey, and butter. Fruit Tea Waffle - 5 stars - A waffle was topped with Nutella, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar. The fruits were very fresh, abundant, and sweet. On the side was whipped cream. Egg-bacon Omelet - 4 stars - My husband ate this omelet, and he thought that it tasted good. It was a good size, and it contained bacon, onions, and mozzarella cheese. On the side were three plain pancakes. Orange juice - 4.5 stars - This orange juice contained some purple and tasted fresh.
