Gab & Eat GOOD: Wonderful local, Carnegie business. A fun diner vibe with amazing breakfast, vibrant staff and fair prices BAD: Nothing much, they close early (230ish) and pot coffee is on the expense side (2.99) But they do grind their beans and I enjoyed a cup to go. Gab & Eat is right up my alley. I love diners, especially quirky places with top notch breakfast. Gab & Eat is all that and more. The staff clearly enjoys their jobs and the locals. If you sit at the counter you get to watch the skilled cooking action. As a Carnegie visitor, I went 2x - a tell right there. Day one was a great omelet, day 2 a superb bagel sandwich. My servers were great and friendly. If you're in the neighborhood, starting your day here is a wise move. read more

Such a great place for breakfast or lunch. Have been coming here for so long. It is a long somewhat worn place, a true diner. Some neat trivia questions on the wall. Homemade sausage and fresh cut fries. Service is friendly. On recent visits have eaten the mixed grill which is great, get the half unless you are super hungry. The bacon smashed burger is so tasty. The sandwiches are good too and you can Hey Ray it if you are in the mood. read more

As a Pittsburgh native, every trip back home means a guaranteed stop at Gab & Eat- a true must for breakfast and beyond. Carrie, along with the incredible team of Dallas, Chef Mike (now retired pictured middle in orange shirt), Suzy and Abby consistently go above and beyond, delivering not just fantastic food, but an experience that feels like family. This place is a community staple, where home-style atmosphere makes every visit unforgettable. Thank you all for the incredible memories- seeing our NB sticker on the vent and 2019 family picture on your wall was simply awesome. You all are the best. read more

My friend and I went to this place as I was visiting her in Pittsburgh. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how small and congested it was. We were placed in a booth in the very back of the establishment. Everyone who had to go to the bathroom walked by our table. (Very close.) We each watched as people were seated and served as we waited and waited and waited. We were frequently asked if we wanted drink refills while waiting. We were finally served almost 45 minutes or more after being seated. It seemed like a long wait for some scrambled eggs, potatoes and toast. There didn't seem to be so many people there to warrant the wait either. (It was a Saturday so maybe they were busier than usual.) I ordered a "mixed grill" with side of raisin toast. The food was hot and tasted pretty good. read more

Food, service and friendly staff, easy to find, ample parking, seating area small, but cozy, very busy early am

I don't get here often enough. I was treated by a pleasant waitress that told me to sit wherever I wanted. I was waited on promptly & my food was delivered piping hot. Bacon wasn't much of a flavor but I loved it all. For the cost to oh so get a lot of food. I never seen my waitress again until she dropped the check. I did need more tea for awhile but another waitress noticed & got me refilled. As a single diner I felt comfortable too. read more

Their website says "like Cheers without the alcohol" and that is exactly how I felt when I sat down at the counter. The waitstaff knew all the morning regulars and their menu is beautiful in its simplicity. It is an older-style diner atmosphere the walls practically covered in art, stickers, posters, plaques, you name it. You'll feel at home here! read more

Gab & Eat - Home fries and scrambled eggs with cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Was in the area and was in the mood for breakfast. Gab & Eat was highly recommended on Yelp. I decide to give it a shot. The staff where super friendly and very nice and super efficient. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, bacon & home fries and white toast. The eggs where a bit runny ad the bacon not cooked enough and the toast had way too much butter on it. Although the food was just ok the service was outstanding. The waitress was super efficient asked how meal was obviously I lied. Also she stayed on top of each person she was taking care of. That is definitely one of the key things that I review when eating somewhere is the service. The food did taste ok but normally i would give it 2-3 stars the service was definitely 5 stars all the way. It was tough decision but give them 4 stars overall and if in the area I would go again. read more

I loved the fantastic warm family oriented service coming from my waitress & excellent historical ambiance but after I saw how teenie tiny my micro. ham & cheese omellete was this Wounded Warrior Retired War Vet. felt somewhat slapped in the face. It cost be a twenty dollar bill for an omelette a 1/3 to a 1/4 of the size that they used to be here just a few years ago. I was so excited to get my omellete and experience the Pittsburgh's famous Gab & Eat that Michael Keaton had eaten at just to leave there still hungry!! ...and Im a li'l man damn near built like a horse jocket at 160 lbs. tisk tisk tisk Miniature Omelletes Make Me Sad. : ( Id expect them to at least bring the price down some for such a tiny small omelette. I guess Gab & Eat lost that lovin' feeling when it coles to egg omelettes. I shall m"never get anything egg here for now on !!! read more

I stopped in for breakfast on a weekday, around 7AM and they were moderately busy. It's the typical diner style joint in a plaza here in the Pittsburgh area. They offer great service (with a smile), keep your coffee topped off, and they have all the usual suspects on their breakfast menu. Their bacon, egg and cheese bagel was excellent! I got it with tomato and it came out perfect, with a large slab of egg on it and perfectly cooked bacon. Their breakfast potatoes are just OK, they need to be seasoned to make them taste decent. I'd definitely return for breakfast! read more

We were in the area so I thought we'd swing by for some local color. It was packed and a little dingy but we figured why not? The place is a small narrow room. The servers all seemed nice and came right away to get our drink and food orders. But..... good lord- it took 40 mins to get our food!! During this time there was a guy in PJ pants limping back and forth from the dishwashing room/ pantry bringing dishes/ bread etc and hauling dirty dishes back in a nasty tub. There was barely enough room for him to get by the servers and booths. He would go up and down cussing and grumbling. The servers were eating donuts and coffee in between serving. The whole arrangement just didn't look very clean. We finally got our food, and it was ok- not awful. They have these big homemade sausage patties which i thought were pretty good. Anyway- we got done and didn't get sick. It was an experience- probably one we won't repeat. read more

Looked at several Yelp reviews for breakfast and luckily stumbled upon this place. It is located on a strip mall. Plenty of parking available. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and you get bang for your buck! I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted bagel with a side of home fries! My husband ordered the homemade hot sausage with toast and two eggs. We both enjoyed our breakfast. Lunch is also available here. read more

My mom gets very excited when she has a restaurant recommendation based on something she heard on Pittsburgh Today Live. Yesterday's lunch rec is thanks to Celina Pompeani, and it's a BIG thank you. Gab & Eat doesn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as I stepped inside, I could tell the food was going to be good. Nothing fancy here, but kind service, quick food, and a cheap bill. I ordered the Poor Boy - a steak/cheese/egg sandwich with the freshest lettuce I've seen in a restaurant. Mumsie ordered the Hot Italian (no comment) and she was equally enamored. We shared an order of onion rings -- the best onion rings I think I've EVER had (hot tip - order the half size. The whole size is CRAZY big), and left with a $26 bill, including tip. Gab & Eat is only open for breakfast/lunch, so do yourself a favor and work it into your workday. You can thank me (and Celina) later. read more

Gab & Eat - Poor Boy, onion rings and Hot Italian - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Very popular and crowded greasy spoon joint that has been around for a long time. Nothing much to complain about here as they have solid breakfast with just a time or I had some undercooked potatoes (home fries) but not a big deal. It is a seat yourself style unless someone is waiting. I normally order the steak and eggs and it is satisfactory for the price. Bacon is thick, english muffin buttery, eggs cooked to order. Service is speedy and efficient. read more

The portion size is very large, the service is great, price is very good and the food is delicious !!!!

Friendly staff and pretty good food. We were told we could seat ourselves, we sat down and soon we were greeted and offered waters. The table itself had different local companies - giving a true mom and pop ambiance. Even though the bacon tasted like the grill needs to be cleaned and I personally didn't care for the potatoes, the homemade sausage was great, the eggs were alright and the toast was perfect! I will be honest, I'm picky but my friend ate every bite! read more

We loved this place! Coffee was amazing. Great service; we were in and out in 45 minutes on a weekday morning. I like the open kitchen where you can see them cook. The mushroom and Swiss omelette was great. I would gave preferred fresh mushrooms vs canned though. Home fries were on point! You can tell they get a lot of regular customers. Highly recommend!! read more

Perfect breakfast stop with that home sweet home small town vibe. Food is tasty and at a reasonably inexpensive price. One of my fave bfast places anywhere in Pgh. Highly recommended. It's a crammed narrow restaurant so either be prepared to wait or become buddies with someone. read more

I decided today this is my number 1 breakfast spot in Pittsburgh. I've been to a lot in and around Pittsburgh area so I've done my homewor. today I sat at the counter and watched the flow of all the cooks work together in harmony and they were so busy but not one second of stress or overwhelming showed on any of them. Every employee was friendly, everyone! so great to see. what a great start to a day! one side note is if you're on a diet you may not like this. otherwise it's awesome! read more

I've eaten at the Gab and Eat multiple times over the course of the last 15 years. If you are looking for high end, you are in the wrong place. This is a solid coffee shop that is cash only. My go to is the two eggs over medium with sausage, Italian toast and a half order of home fries. Depending on what time I have that. I usually don't eat again until dinner. Waitress are solid, food is always above average. Highly recommend. You won't go away hungry. read more

Food was perfect. Had a ham and cheese omlet with Mancini toast . Yum! Tasted the waffle and it was crisp and delicious.

Great local hole in the wall spot for breakfast and brunch. Have been enjoying this place for almost 20 years....it is a GEM. Weekends and lunchtimes are very busy. Take out us a great option that I use often. Enjoy!!!! read more

This local joint has a full menu, but we went on a Friday around 1pm for a late brunch. It's a seat-yourself super casual and friendly place. I got a mushroom & cheese omelet with Italian bread. It was not what I was expecting at all - basically an egg taco filled with what looked like a mountain of canned mushrooms. It was actually pretty hilarious! The toast was so so so good though: grilled and buttery! Also - even the half portion of the mixed grille was HUUUGE! And if you decide to get onion be prepared for what appeared to be an entire spiralized cooked onion thrown in the middle. Good prices, big portions, I wouldn't get the omelet again but I'd go back! read more

Gab & Eat - Sausage egg and cheese sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carnegie, Pennsylvania

Always great food mostly very good service and the ambience, well come on it's a small very clean diner, which I frequent regularly.

I was excited to try this spot! Everyone builds so much hype on it. I didn't know what to expect so on entering you seat your self and I was greeted. On the right side there's pictures of friends and family's dining and I thought that was cool. The left side had cool trivia questions so it's fun to quiz each other at the table. For the food I ordered two eggs poached and they where cooked wonderfully. I got the homemade sausage one spicy and one regular to try both and I was impressed with how much flavor they had. Not to much spice and very balanced I put maple syrup on them and it was so mouth watering. I got Italian toast for the bread and was not impressed very thick slices and the crust was super hard but the center was soft. As for the French toast it didn't taste like it was cooked all the way and had Aton of butter on it and just like the toast the crust was super hard. Overall I'll definitely come back to try it one more time but I'm not as impressed as I was hoping for. The staff here is wonderful and made sure she checked in a few times. One big thing that I liked was the tables are pre set and the waiter makes sure to put down 2/3 napkins so there already available as needed. read more

My first trip to Pittsburgh to visit a good friend. He took me here to get a feel for the community and it was awesome. We ate breakfast here two days in a row the food was great, service spectacular and it was great watching people interact like the Cheers bar. Note this is not frilly food this is salt of the earth cooking. read more

Worth the wait! Do not be afraid of a line outside on a Saturday morning. It will move fast! This place is Not just a meal but an experience. It's so fun to watch the speed and hustle of the food being prepared on the grill. The restaraunt is no frills with mismatch plates and coffee cups but oh my is the food delicious. The breakfast sandwich with hot sausage is hands down the best I've had in the city. The potatoes with peppers and onions are huge and satisfying. The pancakes are thick and fluffy. Ample parking in a parking lot of a shopping center and easy to access from the parkway! read more

We had the misfortune to arrive at 12:43 today (a Saturday). We saw the hours on the door but no "closed" sign so we were hoping we could still be seated and have something to eat. The lady in the front said "go ahead, have a seat, you'll be the last ones", and a gentleman put the closed sign on the door. We walked back to an empty booth, only to be met by a waitress who made an angry disgusted face at us and greeted us with "We're closing in one minute" and proceeded to wipe down the seats so they would be nice and wet if we sat down. My husband said that they told us in the front that we could stay, but when he realized how offended I was, we just turned around and walked out in spite of the the waitress telling us we could stay (but she didn't apologize). WTF? They could have just told us they had forgotten to put up the closed sign and we'd have just tried to get there earlier another time. There was no need to be that rude; like, do you realize you're in the HOSPITALITY industry?! We went elsewhere, spent nearly $40 for a lovely meal, and left a 25% tip for our pleasant and competent server. We will not be trying Gab 'n' Eat again, which is sad as the food looked and smelled delicious. BTW, we were clean and well dressed and I was carrying a designer bag and had multiple diamond rings on, so it wasn't that we looked cheap or like poor tippers, as you only have one chance to make a first impression. Gab'n'Eat blew theirs.. read more
