service was great! prices are good as well, food came out quick and was delicious. A small spot but definitely recommend if you want some great breakfast.

Downtown combo French toast

Continues to be a great place for breakfast or lunch. Many selections, absolutely great service. Very friendly and accommodating.

Downtown Cafe's Manager (green shirt), and waitress (in black). And an empty restaurant, for seemingly obvious reasons.

Second time going, after the first experience felt lacking; both due to the food preparation, and service. But since there aren't many family style restaurants in the area -- I decided to give the spot another try about (4) months later. Regretful decision. Orded a simple mixed-berry waffle combo & asked that my eggs be prepared "fried hard". Why were the eggs literally jiggling, as the waitress set the plate down? She even noticed, but tried to walk away anyhow. I politely requested the eggs be prepped correctly, but kept the waffle. BTW: there's a $2 upcharge for fruit (which is common). But, why did my plate only come with EXACTLY (8) blueberries and the equivalent of 1.5 sliced strawberries?? To make matters worse, the waitress returned my plate with still runny egg yolks -- which I didn't eat, as I don't eat runny eggs. The biggest issue, besides the ill-prepared simple breakfast, was the attitude of the heavily-tattooed flamboyant guy managing the place. As the waitress explained to him why I was sending my plate back, he would look over at me / my table -- flailing his hands with a look of disgust. And at this point, I was the only one on that side of the little restaurant, so there was no mistaking the vibes. To cap it off, he later comes over to my table, literally leaning over my plate to arrogantly explain the 'fruity issue' (pun intended). I'd had enough, and asked him to give me some space, the bill, and a 'to go' box. A mild argument ensued, where he tried to belittle me by asking how long I've been in California, to not understand the price of fruit -- claiming "I've been here for (7) years, so even I know..." Buddy: I'm born & raised "Cali". But your attitude, lack of professionalism, and an inability to get a simple breakfast right are the real issues. I explained how this was my 2nd--and likely, last--time coming; to which he arrogantly suggested it should be. (If we were 'on the streets' this is the kind of behavior that might get you smacked in the mouth.) My suggestion: go to the Lighthouse Cafe (literally only a block away) for your Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, snacks...whatever. But "Caveat emptor" (may the buyer beware) if you choose to eat at this establishment. Not only is the food prep an issue, but the flamboyant arrogance of the little manager guy officially ensured I'll never patronize the Downtown Cafe EVER again. Interesting enough: I also haven't had a conflict with anyone regarding services--for at least (4+) years. Way to go, guy. No wonder the place was almost empty, when there's already very few eateries around.

Steak and egg very flavorful
Yanira A.

Food never disappoints me, good food and great service . Ambience very good as well this is the spot for good food

Mean breakfast items

Well my first time here. Pittsburgh's a little bit out of the way but I like to go to some nearby places sometimes.. nice little downtown area. Comfortable atmosphere relaxed. First of all probably the best coffee I've had anywhere very delicious I don't know what kind it is but I like it I wanted to get some more to go Was initially disappointed because it didn't have biscuits and gravy, the only thing that had gravy was the chicken fried steak and I wasn't going to try that it looked a little bit too heavy. I had the bacon and eggs with a country potatoes. The potatoes were delicious perfect cooked right. The eggs were okay bacon nice portions I like mine cooked a little more though. I asked for sourdough bread toast and it wasn't toasted so I was a little bit curious about that. But it worked. Staff was nice and attentive and I like the ambiance Have a nice diverse menu a lot of selections for a place that small I would recommend it

Decided to get out for some breakfast and tried the new cafe. You seat yourself & wait. The server was engaged in convo w/the cook & closing a tab so it took a couple mins to get a menu. There's quite a bit to choose from. I went w/a waffle combo. Waffle was fluffy & moist inside but could have used some crunch on the exterior. The berries were good. Over-medium eggs were cooked nicely, a minute longer would've been perfect for me. I asked for bacon but also got a sausage. The bacon was cooked nicely but it had that off aftertaste found in some bacon. It didn't ruin the meal, it's just one of those things that you get from time to time. Overall it was a good meal.

Grilled Tuna Melt
Dana R.

OMG! If you want great service and a great meal that won't break you bank, this is the spot in downtown Pittsburg. The Bistro Burger had my husband humming a tune and the Tuna melt was flavorful and the sourdough toast was crunchy but did not hurt the top of my mouth.(If you know you know). The place is clean, the kitchen is an open concept and the service was super friendly and attentive. 10/10.

Lourdes B.

The food was good. The service was great. Our server/waiter was very friendly. He was fun to talk to! The place is not so big but it is very homey and clean including the restroom! I would definitely go back there...

The French toast was under cooked which sent to the toilet when I got home. Consuming unlocked eggs and milk is not a good combination.

The bar room was offered and based on our experience of a live band or good music we chose of our area. Unfortunately, the service ( if there was any) was non existent . We sat there for more than 10 minutes. No one asked us a question. Came to check on us or anything. They watched us. Do you have a food return to the dining room with menus and hand and no one attempted to see what was going on There were only two other couples sitting in the room. It was almost empty. We wound up moving back to the dining area because we plan to have tea and coffee. Once we or seated in the main dining area, the service was stellar. They checked on its regularly. We got water immediately. They took our order within 3 to 5 minutes that continue to check on us throughout the meal refilled our beverages. It is regularly crowded there the beautiful world that room is covered by direct sunlight from the windows that show you the waterfront there's plenty of seating, the music is loud enough to enjoy but low enough to have conversation and enjoy your meal simply perfect I got my favorite the crab sand, which is at market price and delicious. My husband had a jumbo shrimp scrambled that comes with bacon and avocado, and it was delicious. I adore this restaurant and I really enjoy the fact that they've started covering the outdoor patio area so you don't have direct Son. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good Saturday or Sunday brunch with friends and family. It's always have fun. How am full of live with people enjoying their meal Except to spam $50-$75 a person depending on what you choose to eat from the menu and what type of beverage you have and that only includes one beverage Your average brunch scramble or omelette runs about 30 bucks. Anything seafood will be 40 bucks plus coffee and $3.75 and refillable which I love and I can't really show you the cost of a cocktail. It's been a minute.

The coffee was cold, the service was slow, and the food was lukewarm at best. They took over 10 minutes to even get us started on drinks, then it took 30 minutes to get the food. Once I got my plate, nothing was close to warm, and tasted oily because everything was cold. They took the plate back and offered to remake it, but after how long it took, I passed. I won't be back again.

Every time I visit home I try to stop by Lumpy's to get this bad boy but they're always sold out. So this time around I came prepared. On Friday morning I called right when they opened at 7:00 AM to place a pre-order for 3 Pittsburgers ($25.17). The woman I spoke to on the phone said they're made around 9:45 AM, so I came back around 9:30 to pick them up. They were piping hot when I got them but unfortunately we ate them about 2 hours later because we brought them to an Alcatraz tour. These seem different from the ones I had when I went to PHS. They're definitely bigger and don't remember them being so dense (then again I haven't had one in ages). It's basically a Sloppy Joe with ground beef, a lot of ketchup, onions, cheese, and bread. Very simple ingredients but a ton of nostalgia. Anyone who went to PHS would say they adored the Pittsburger, so if you're feeling nostalgic on a Friday morning, definitely order one.

I've been here so many times but this was my mother's first time. She loved everything about it. It can be a bit noisy, especially for her due to her using hearing aids, but we managed. Overall though, Lumpy's will always be one of my go-tos. From the food, to the service, to the old school feel, Lumpy's in Pittsburg is one of my favorites.

Spur of the moment decision to come here…read more There was plenty of seating and parking (off street and street), so that's definitely a plus. I've been here a few times and there has always been parking available. The inside is pretty small but they also have exterior seating, which on a nice day can absolutely be incredible. Our server was good, maybe on the slower side, but there were only two of them taking care of all the tables. He was friendly, and responsive when we made a request. I had the Philly Cheesesteak which was flavored well. My only complaint was the meat was a little dry. The bread was good but maybe if it was toasted could have elevated it just a bit. The daughter had the shrimp Alfredo. Different story. It was absolutely amazing! They gave 6 fairly descent size shrimp which was cooked well. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the Alfredo sauce was YUMMY! I will definitely go back and order the Alfredo pasta next time. Overall recommend this place. It's a local business that I would say is above average.

Would be wanting a bit more sausages though. Fish Tacos was too simple - lightly fried fish placed on the tortilla with tiny spoonful of red salsa. Was hoping it would have some taste bling like coleslaw of mango or something to compete with other places. I ended up just eating the fish with the salad, defaulted the purpose of tortilla. My best is the spicy mango margarita - so tasty and refreshing and just the right spicy for me. A passerby asked about it and reported its excellent taste! Service was excellent - very attentive. Interestingly, they separated our bills. I like the foresight. It can always happen to a group of people - for us - 3 pax. Ambiance is perfect. Outdoor seating is pleasant as you are viewing some beautiful yachts and friendly people walking and biking.

So, it's a pleasure to recommend a good fish restaurant with a good view of the water. Our visits to Smith's Landing have always been a pleasure. The food is a tad pricey but always excellent, with a decently sized and varied menu. The building itself is large, comfortable, clean, and appealing. The atmosphere is generally quiet (for a restaurant of its size) and relaxing. And the view from any of the inside window tables or the outside tables is downright spectacular. You can see clearly the harbor and the river, offering an appropriate setting for the excellence of the food. In all, I'd give the place an A-, subtracting only for the slightly above-average price of the food, which is made up for in both quality and quantity. You won't go away dissatisfied or hungry. Currently, it's the best restaurant on the river.
