What a little surprise. This is one of the only restaurants in an overly industrial area. Walking in, I was immediately taken by the cozy diner atmosphere. The burger I had was great and the tea was strong and fresh brewed. A fun find and while this isn't an area I am often in, I would come back here in an instant when I am next in the area. read more

Our favorite local breakfast spot. Service is always quick, food is always delicious - what more could you want! We love their breakfast generally, but lunch is great too. We've enjoyed all of our meals here over the years from omelettes to pancakes to ham & cheese sandwiches. It's got a cozy, classic diner feel, and they are accommodating to families and have high chairs. Booths are a bit small but can comfortably fit a family of 4. Please don't ever change, Frank & Shirley's read more

I have always wanted to stop here but I fly right past it until today. The staff is friendly and welcoming and this is an old school diner. I stopped by for breakfast and saw the pancakes and they looked amazing. I ordered a Philly mixed grill omelette. Comes with grilled peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Side of homefries and toast. All for$13.50. There were only three tables when I was there but the order took a little longer than I thought it should have been. But amazing so very good and filling. A must go. read more

The food is a 4 or 5 but the staff has been less helpful on multiple occasions. The website says they close at 4:00 on Sunday so I start calling at 3:15 for a take out order. I called 3 different times but the phone just rang and rang. Since no one answered, I drove there and arrived at 3:35. The waitress that didn't answer the phone was quick to tell me they're closed and quit taking take out orders at 3:30. She could care less which is annoying because I'm sure the owners aren't like that. If you go there, the food is pretty good, but good luck with the staff... read more

Service was good. Food was typical diner fare. It met my expectations upon viewing the restaurant. The place seems run down and could use a refresh. read more

I have been to Frank& Shirley a few times now, and it never disappoints.. My niece was visiting from Ann Arbor, and when she & I went there for lunch, she said" I could eat here everyday if I lived here" read more

We haven't eaten here in years, but were happy to find it open when we needed a quick lunch. The outside is not very inviting, but the inside is diner fashion and appeared very clean. They, like many establishments, are short on help. We didn't wait too long and they kindly brewed us a pot of decaf. The menu has lots of breakfast items, as well as sandwiches and entrees. There are also daily specials posted on the board. I was happy to see a hot Turkey sandwich as I had been craving one. We didn't wait long and our food was out and was hot. As soon as I saw it, I was disappointed. It wasn't real Turkey, but deli meat. The Turkey gravy was brown, not like Turkey/chicken gravy. I should have asked before I ordered. I am not a fan of deli meat. I muddled through it and enjoyed the mashed potatoes, but really wished I had gotten something else. Service was good throughout and prices are decent. read more

I dont know how anyone could review this place anything less than 4/5 stars. Sure it's busy & there's a wait sometimes but that's because good service & food take time & they are working with limited space & staff. I have never had a bad meal here. It's very homey feeling, welcoming & a nice step back from the modern reality of the ever changing food industry. Such a good price on everything and no matter what I get it's done in a timely manner & exactly how I like it. The over easy eggs are perfect, by far the best in the city out of all the breakfast places I've been, potatoes perfect, toast with butter perfect, staff is so nice even when extremely busy. If you haven't been here CHECK IT OUT, I'll drive a half hour & wait another 1/2 just to get my breakfast here. Coming from a perfectionist that calculates my time for the day everyday,that's saying something. read more

Frank & Shirley's - Bagels French toast eggs toast bacon. A solid 5star breakfast. - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite little diner in the South Hills area. I really love the calm atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of chain diners. They let you choose where you want to sit, are quick to take your order, and we have always gotten our food in less than 10 minutes. The staff is quite friendly and all of the prices are very reasonable (all breakfast dishes are less than $10). I have only been here each time for breakfast but they also serve lunch and dinner. There isn't anything bad to say about this diner. They are well known and respected within the community as well. The food was excellent for my son and I this past Saturday morning. It added a great touch to our day. Our waitress even offered my son some candy. It is just the greatest little place that even though its well known in our area, it still doesn't get enough credit. read more

I've driven past this place a million times and it always catches my eye, but I've never stopped. Well I finally did and I was not disappointed! This is an old diner and makes you feel like you've gone into a time warp. They even have a cigarette machine out front by the door. Anyways, the place was very clean and we were greeted and told to find a seat as soon as we walked in. It seemed like it was a one woman show there. The woman who greeted us was also our waitress, and seemed to be the only waitress there. Not that it was a bad thing because she was amazing and dealt with everything very well. The menu was pretty standard for a diner so I went with the hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. My boyfriend ordered the bacon cheese burger with fries. My meal was delicious. The gravy was very good and the turkey was nice and thick, not that lunch meat turkey some places serve. The mashed potatoes were made from scratch and not instant potatoes, yum! My boyfriend loved his burger and said everything was very fresh. He kept saying how good the fries were too. You can see from the picture how huge his burger was! He could barely fit it in his mouth, but somehow managed to eat every last bite. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. If you get the chance give this place a try! read more

If you are looking for a 5 star restaurant this is not the place. If you are looking for an American Diner in the Pittsburgh tradition this is my go to spot! Excellent diner menu with great specials and solid standby's like breakfast all day. Service is excellent especially after they get to know you. Ambiance, for local folks this place was one of the original Eat'n Parks they tell me. read more

Boy has this place gone downhill since Frank and Shirley are no longer owners. I don't even know where to start. The service is horrible. The service is slow. The servers are grossly incompetent. The servers are lazy. The servers also have an uncanny ability to be clueless about how to efficiently work in a fast paced environment. Lastly, I asked to add peaches to my pancakes and the server stated that it would be an additional $8. She had to charge me for a full order of pancakes. Whatever. But with all that being said, the atmosphere of the diner is pretty neat. And the food is pretty good. However, pretty good food only goes so far before people get annoyed and fed up.... read more

I have been here so many times I in my life I can't begin to count. Typical diner feel and look. Decent breakfast and a mean cup of coffee. Lots of characters in this joint including the employees. I usually order scrambled eggs and toast. It's exactly what you expect from an All-American diner. read more

Everything is Awesome and they are so very friendly too. It's a Regular Diner that is always Great and affordable

Did you know that this building was the first and original Eat'N Park that opened in June 5, 1949? Frank and Shirley's have good food, the service was great, sweet server. I came here early one morning, passed by, didn't even know what kind of food I'd be eating. They give you a lot of food. I wish I could come here more often, but it's out of my way. read more

This was once a favorite spot for weekend brunch but will never be patronized by me or my family again following the horrible treatment two of our family friends received. Over an hour after being seated, only a few of the ordered items had been served and no explanation was given until our friend went to pay for the items received and to leave. Others had been seated. Others had been served. Others had paid and left. Our friends were the only people of color in the restaurant. Our friends were the only people who speak English as a second language. When the woman at the cashier was asked: "Why hasn't my food been brought to my table?" the only explanation given was that the kitchen is so busy. Unacceptable. Disgusting. Disheartening. Not surprising. I will not support any establishment that discriminated against anyone. Spread the Word. Frank & Shirley's does not deserve our patronage. read more

I was asked to join a friend here for lunch so both my husband and I went. The place was packed when we arrived but fortunately for us our friend was able to get us a booth. Seating area is small. You can barely fit 4 to a booth but doable. Like most diners you will find advertising written all over the table. We were given a menu. Prices are very reasonable and you can get either a good breakfast or lunch sandwich for under $10.00. They also have a kid's and senior menu combined for aged 55 and up if you aren't that hungry. WiFi is available here. Since I had eaten breakfast earlier I looked at the lunch sandwiches. I inquired about the chicken and learned that it is actually a patty and comes with French Fries. Along with the fish sandwich those are the only two items served with fries. The rest are served with potato chips. Our friend got his usual ham with two eggs over easy, breakfast potatoes and toast. My husband opted for a turkey club. While I love omelets I noticed that they didn't offer egg whites. Time did not permit me to ask about that because the omelets are made with 3 eggs along with breakfast potatoes and toast of your choice. The food came out piping hot and I was amazed at the size of my chicken patty. It was placed in a six inch hoagie roll. Needless to say it was very good and quite filling. The others told me they enjoyed their dishes as well. Our waitress tried her best to be attentive to our needs but with a packed house which I would imagine comes from the after church crowd it can get to be hectic. When it is time to pay the waitress will give you your check and then you go to the register to pay. I don't get to Overbrook that often but have passed by this restaurant a number of times while heading downtown. Located on Saw Mill Run Blvd past the juncture of Rt 88 as you head towards town they have their own private parking lot. read more

My dad loves Frank & Shirley's and he wanted to take me out to lunch so that's where we went. We both decided on breakfast for lunch. I got their fresh banana pancakes. They actually rolled the pancake around the banana and topped it with whipped cream. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. This was soooo good! Just writing this review I would like some more. I also wanted some home fries and they were also very good. Big portion for a side so I didn't finish them. This is a small diner and the employees take pride in their service. I enjoyed my lunch with my dad and I know I'll be back at some point again. read more

Great service, great food and great price! have been there numerous times, and always consistently good!

Excellent food for the staff not normally a long wait, they also give you a decent amount of food for the price

If you've ever been to Gab and Eat in Carnegie, the interior and atmosphere at Frank and Shirley's is similar. The food isn't quite as good or filling though. When we got there around 10:30 on a Sunday morning there was only one open table and they seemed pretty busy. But they keep the line moving incredibly quickly. We were seated, drinks delivered and order taken with five minutes. Our food came five minutes later, and we were out the door in about 20 minutes total. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet and my wife ordered poached eggs, extra hard. The omelet was OK; nothing special. It was actually on the small side and instead of freshly cut ham off the bone it was prepackaged ham cubes. My wife's eggs came out very runny, aka the opposite of how she asked for them. I gave it three stars though because while it wasn't the best, the eggs still had flavor and the whole process was very quick and efficient. But sometimes, at least at breakfast, we kind of like waiting and relaxing. read more

My job is right up the road from this restaurant and my co workers always rave about it, especially about their breakfast. I finally decided to give it a whirl. I tried calling in to place an order to go, but I was on hold forever. I hung up and tried again a few minutes later, and was on hold a long time again. Being that I was at work, and didn't have much time, I preferred to place an order ahead of time so that I could be in and out. Again, I tried and now the line was busy. I gave up on it and went there. When I got there, I saw the phone off the hook. I am not sure if they were overwhelmed, but it wasnt that busy in there. There were a lot of open tables. Anyways, I placed an order for takeout. I got the omelete and home fries. While waiting, there was a very sweet young lady who worked there that chatted with me. She even gave me a free soda while waiting. I made sure to tip her because she was so kind. The food didn't take long to come out....thank goodness! I got back to work and went to town on the food. It was a huge portion, and tasted amazing. I was very happy with my food and the amount of time it took. The only recommendation is to get better with taking to go orders over the phone. read more

I can't believe this place gets the stars it does. We've only gone here when our favorite diner we go to for breakfast is closed. The couple of times that we did go here there is only ONE WAITRESS. The food is your basic breakfast. Nothing out of the ordinary. Of course we waited quite a while for our order to be taken. The LAST time, and I mean LAST because we will never be going again, there was a young girl who came over to us and offered us drinks. We got them from her. The ONE & ONLY WAITRESS is constantly taking orders from the people who come in the back door and are placing to go orders. We waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order. This place is in no way worth waiting 20 minutes for someone to take my order. I can't really say that there is anywhere worth that wait let alone a side of the road diner!! read more

The food wasn't bad. We went in because we saw a review that indicated that the food would be good. We were the only blacks in the restaurant and got stares......of course. The service provided by the initial young lady that took our drinks was great. She was nice and welcoming. The older lady that took our food order seemed to be flustered as she was the only waitress. The ambiance was that of a diner. Nothing to write home about. Overall, we made it out alive and the food wasn't bad. read more

Yonder diner, staff was friendly and quick and extra courteous getting the door for me when they saw the cane. Had Banana pancakes and hot breakfast sausage. Sausage was good, coffee was pretty dinerstandard. The pancakes were not great but certainly edible, I live in Squirrel Hill so I am pampered with Pamela's and Square, my opinion may be invalid when the baseline is a pancake sought out by presidents and celebrities. I appreciate a yinzerific greasy spoon and this is that kind of place and really reasonable prices. The girlfriend and I both left full and the bill was under 22 dollars with coffee read more

One of my weekly lunch or breakfast place. Good home cooked food and reasonable prices. I would avoid busy times. An Sunday mornings. The staff is limited and cannot handle the full crowd.

First time I have been there was on a Sunday for breakfast. One waitress who was not overly friendly I guess because she didn't know us. When breakfast finally came it was cold. She was too busy with a full restaurant packing takeouts. There was a takeout person so not sure why she took that a priority over all of the tables she should have been waiting on. Food was sitting in the window so I am sure that was all cold too once delivered. She never came back until she dropped off the check and I told her my breakfast was cold she said sorry and kept going. She didn't even care. Just like that was the norm. I will never go there again. The food may have been good if it was hot. Who wants cold eggs and toast. read more

Love a good diner. Went here for lunch today with my parents and 7 month old. There was just the right amount of noise for her. I ordered the ham and cheese omelet which did not disappoint. It came with potatoes and toast. The potatoes were not greasy like your typical diner potatoes. It is a very small place so I could see there being a line to wait for a table during prime times. read more

I love a good diner and Frank & Shirley's does NOT disappoint! Their pancakes are so yummy, their bacon is perfectly crisp, and the mushroom omelette... *fans self* is SO good. I grew up in Somerset and thought I'd never find something to hold a candle to my beloved Summit Diner, but Frank & Shirley's fills the void. The staff is always nice, service is quick, and you can get out the door for under $15. I've never dabbled in their lunch or dinner items, but maybe one of these days I'll give it a go. If you're looking for a classic diner without the frills, put aside your fear of driving on Route 51 (it's not that bad!!) and get here. Fun fact: it's the original Eat 'n Park location... but if you ask me, Frank & Shirley's is the place for smiles. And delicious omelettes! read more

Frank & Shirley's now accept credit cards, but unfortunately, they are no longer open 24 hours on weekends, closing up at 9PM on Fridays and Saturdays, so those who complain that there aren't enough independent late-night restaurant options in Pittsburgh have more ammunition. However, expect the same above-average diner food they've been cookin' up for as long as I've been alive. P.S. They have wi-fi too now! read more

I haven't been here in awhile, but I definitely miss it. They do hold slightly odd hours as it is a mom and pop joint and they are definitely more of a breakfast place than anything else. Their omelettes are to die for. I'm also a huge fan of their potatoes for breakfast and especially with their gravy. Yum! My boyfriend is more of a burger person but he loves their burgers and fries. They have a few breakfast specials that are just as awesome It is very small. And they do not take reservations to my knowledge. If you go on a Sunday morning you will def be waiting for a table. They never used to accept cards but to my knowledge they recently have begun taking credit cards which is a big plus. This is definitely a mom and pop place you need to try. read more

Typical American diner fare. Stopped in because I was in the area. Decent food, friendly service. While nothing stuck out to make my dining experience remarkable, I would return if it was convenient. The coolest thing is that they have a drive thru lottery booth right behind the building. If you're feeling lucky you can grab a ticket or two. read more

Get here early as there is a line. The diner itself is small so you're pretty much standing over folks while they're eating, which is hilarious. The service is hit or miss, honestly. We had one lady who was very quick and nice and kept checking on us while there was another lady that just looks mad at the world like she hates your guts for even asking for a glass of water. Food is diner food and hits the spot when you've been traveling from the DC Metro Area to a Steelers game and in need of nourishment. read more
