Tables are a bit jammed in there, but it's a good neighborhood diner. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. There's a parking lot just down the block, so you don't have to park on the street. Be aware that they're CASH ONLY. I haven't heard of that in a restaurant - especially post-pandemic. Fortunately, my dad noticed that on their website. read more

Joe's Rusty Nail knows how to do breakfast right! We stopped by last Saturday, and the food was fantastic, but the real star of the show was Bonnie. She was on top of everything, keeping our drinks full, checking in at just the right moments, and making us feel truly welcome. Service like that is rare! I had a little bit of everything breakfast wise, and it was all phenomenal, hearty portions, great prices, and full of flavor. Plus, we even got to sit in Mr. McFeely's legendary seat! I do have to go back and try the Reuben because I saw a number of people eating it and it looked really good. Some diners are slipping, but not Joe's Rusty Nail! If you want great food, great vibes and amazing service, go see Bonnie at ajoes crusty Nail, you won't regret it! read more

If you're not from the North Hills area chances are you probably never heard of this spot. It's on Lincoln street right across from the Lincoln Bakery. It's cash only and seating is limited so if you're going for breakfast, go early. Don't worry they serve breakfast all day. It had a very homie atmosphere, the whole staff was so friendly and the prices were SOLID. Everything we got with a tip came out to $55 The star of the show for us was two things we didn't expect. The ham on the eggs benny and the chili. Everything else was a top tier quality for us when looking for a diner breakfast. Omelette wasn't skimping in filling, biscuits homemade with that love, pancakes very fluffy and didn't need syrup, potatoes cooked perfect with awesomely sautéed onions, and that hollandaise sauce... one of if not best I've had. This currently sits at #1 for my girlfriend's and I for traditional diners and we will be visiting again without a doubt !! read more

This place was cute the service and the food was great the French toast was fantastic The wait staff was very helpful and very pleasant with the bottomless coffee refilling It's a cash only with an ATM in the back of the place would highly recommend this place for a solid breakfast read more

It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Places simply don't exist like this, at least not in Washington county. So good my wife had the Tuna Melt, which she said was amazing. It also just flat out looked good. I took a bite and liked it as well. I had the Swiss Melt, it was awesome. Nice and simple. My only gripe is that the burger could've used some more seasoning, and that's minor I asked our server how the chicken salad was and if she liked it. She said she doesn't eat it because she likes the Tuna Salad so much...so she brought me a sample of it! It was good too! I also liked walking into yesteryear. The ambiance was what I was looking for. Simple and good. It delivered and we can't wait to go back. read more

Classic diner inside and out. Thankful to live so close to here. It does get pretty busy on the weekends after church lets out, but don't let that deter you. The service here is fantastic, everyone is friendly, exactly what you'd expect from a family diner. The food has all been good, from pancakes to french toast, eggs, etc... Taken family & friends here a few times. Will definitely be back! Best breakfast spot in Bellevue. read more

I love the food here. Portions are huge. I never can finish a meal. The food is really tasty and its like being at home for dinner your mom or grandpa cooked. Every special they have is delicious. They have breakfast thru dinner and vice versa. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this weekend & immediately the staff was super friendly & eager to have us. It's a small cute diner with great food and even better prices. We both ordered the same thing, I ordered the country breakfast with French toast & she ordered it with pancakes. There was SO much food I couldn't finish my plates & I was absolutely stuffed! I forgot about this place for a while but I will definitely be coming back more often! read more

An excellent place for a traditional breakfast. It is a bit cramped inside, but the servers are very friendly and attentive. I got the French toast special with bacon and it was a steal in today's world at only $6.99. Others in our group got the country breakfast which was enough to eat for a day! read more

Hubby and I stopped here for a late lunch and the Steeler's game (with sound!) on 2 televisions. Parking was free on the street because it was a Sunday. The menu is extensive (4 kinds of Devonshires!), the staff are nice, and the kitchen is fast. I had a truly delicious tuna melt and hubby's tangy coleslaw (standard issue), while he had a burger (on Texas toast?!) and the fries. We aren't big eaters and each only ate half of our sandwiches and took the rest for lunch the next day. They also do take out. We would eat here again if we were in the area. read more

I was in the area and wanted some eggs and potatoes. I saw that the Joe's Rusty Nail had good reviews. The place was about average size and had adequate seating. The staff where nice and friendly. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with home fires and bacon. The eggs where cooked perfect and the home fries where delicious. I was happy with the overall service and food. It was not the best breakfast i have ever had but it was ok and I would go again if I was in the area. read more

Haven't been here for years but visited because we were on the northside hiking the steps and got hungry. I remembered Rusty Nail from way back: good food, friendly servers, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. Sho'nuff it's still the same. I was surprised to learn our server has been at Rusty Nail 40+ years; the server who brought our drinks, 34+ years. Unbelievable !! We got meatloaf, baked potato, coleslaw and western omelet with toast. Coffee was hot and strong. A great experience and I look forward to coming back read more

We ordered takeout from the rusty nail one morning. We walked in and we're greeted by staff immediately. They gave us a menu, took our order, and said it would be ready in about 20 minutes. We walked around Bellevue for a bit and then circled back to pay and pick up our food. (Note: they are cash only). Everything that we tried was so good! The portions are also very generous. We'll definitely be back! read more

First time here, orange juice came in a mason jar. Omelette I had was delicious and huge! Always refilled my coffee too! The staff was incredible and beyond sweet! Can't beat the price either. Was able to get a seat no problem at 1030am. They are cash only, but no worries, there's in atm right inside. Highly recommend, can never go wrong with their breakfast! Loved it! read more

Best breakfast in town great service Joe. The food is delicious. You nailed this place

Wonderful service, tasty burgers . Very homey atmosphere and decor. Would definitely return.....

I'm gonna be honest with you here. I thought this place was a bar and passed it by on multiple occasions. I mean with a name that has 'rusty nail' in it, you kind of get a bar image. Was I ever delighted when it turned out that I was wrong. Looking for food after an exhausting day I was basically tired and found myself in front of here. When I looked in the window I found a dining room with tables rather than a bar filled with people standing. While looking in the window I also noticed daily specials. These change from day to day. So if you don't want something on the menu, you can choose one of the daily specials. On this particular night we went with the specials. I went in and asked for a menu. I was offered a seat, but I declined since I knew I was taking it with me. After looking of the menu quickly I went with the specials. I ordered the stuffed pork chops for my better half and then for myself I got the stuffed chicken breast. While it was being prepared I was once again offered a seat and a drink. I again declined. Once the food was prepared I was surprised by the amount that came out, it was definitely a dinner. Just so everyone knows, cash only. If you don't have enough cash on you, there is an ATM inside to help you. Once I got the food home I was floored. The amount is overwhelming and will fill you up for sure. You get a salad with your meal as well, and bread. Two big slices of fresh Italian bread which accompanies your meal quite nicely. I can't speak to the pork chops, but that chicken breast was huge and filled to the brim with some amazing stuffing. Covered in gravy which gives you a nice blend of flavors. The mashed potatoes were equally amazing and that gravy continued there. The broccoli was great as well. I can tell you that I cleaned my plate that night and had a happy belly. Definitely a place I will stop back at once again. read more

Joe's Rusty Nail - Dinner special tonight. Stuffed chicken breast, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad and bread. Not a bad deal. - American Near Me - Bellevue, Pennsylvania

A friend and I stopped in last Saturday to catch up. We did not have to wait long to be seated and our server was on top of our table. We both got the French toast and I got an order of home fries which were delicious !! (We did not take pictures, just living in the moment) but we really enjoyed stopping in. We will definitely be stopping in again in the future. read more

The food and ambiance just work! Everything is so good and priced well! Go and check it out!

We've visited Joes twice for breakfast and have nothing but wonderful things to say. For starters, it's delicious! Nothing fancy or whacky, but the classics done right. Next, it's a great value. I almost can't believe how low their prices are! Lastly, it really feels like family. Everyone who works here is just so kind! They take your order and ask about your day. Anyway, I love it. Give it a go if you're nearby. read more

We had lunch here over the weekend and I can't believe we haven't been here sooner. Food was great, and the service was wonderful. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was nice too, good lighting that wasn't too bright, and typical diner type atmosphere but plenty of room for each table and there was a table or two outside as well. We will definitely be back soon! read more

If you're looking for old Pittsburgh (in all its good ways), this is a place where you'll find it. Traditional Pittsburgh fare done well and served with a friendly smile. Great and hearty breakfast; a gem and a constant in the Bellevue neighborhood. read more

A glorified Carrqbba's is about it. Don't go expecting the red and white checkered tablecloth with an old Italian family working behind the scenes. This is just a large room with no character or ambience. And the food was lackluster at best. About the best thing was the cannolis, and the pricing overall was modest. But if you're looking for a decent Italian meal, go somewhere else! read more

I've been wanting to go to this place for forever and I'm so happy I finally made it! I don't frequent Bellevue often but if this is what the neighborhood has to offer, then I will certainly be returning. I'm from a smaller town and this diner made me feel right at home. The decor was super homey and made me feel like I was at my grandparents house. I ordered the Texas Turkey Melt and my boyfriend ordered the Steak Supreme. I got a side of fries and honey mustard for dipping instead of the thousand island that comes with the sandwich. Everything was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back! Next time I'll have to save room for dessert. read more

If you love Fox News, this is your American bar food spot. If you don't, it isn't. Ate in and take out multiple times. Spoke with Joe who assured me the screens changed all the time. Multiple visits suggest that isn't true. Fox is just as much of a political position and statement as MSNBC. I recommend sports or some other generic programming for businesses who want customers from all beliefs. This place will blare Fox News at you and there is nowhere in the single dining room to escape it. read more

Eggs Benedict and Reuben were delicious. I would definitely order both of these items again!

I treated my mom to lunch on Saturday as this used to be a favorite spot for her years ago. We went about 3p which was the perfect time as it was not too busy. It was my first time here and it's a very cute mom and pop type feel inside. Our waitress was kind, knowledgeable and very helpful with explaining that they still do not take credit cards but do have an ATM now. My mom ordered a decaf coffee and the Waitress brewed it fresh for her with no problem. My mom ordered the spaghetti which came with a side salad; she said it was all delicious and couldn't believe the size of the meatballs! I believe she received a side of bread and butter or it was complimentary? I wasn't sure but it was very fresh. We both shared the zucchini fries as an appetizer; hot and yummy. I had the deluxe burger which was cooked to perfection, fries and a side of coke slaw. You know a place is good when they put old bay seasoning on their slaw. Portions are very large for the low price; definitely enough for 2 meals as we each brought half of ours home. Total was under $40 minus the tip. We will definitely be returning! read more

Amazing place!!! The staff is great but the breakfast makes this place the best spot in Bellevue. You must try their country breakfast. read more

The place to go to if you are hungry for a home cooked meal yet lack the time and energy to prepare it yourself. Traditional meals feature meatloaf, roast beef and are served with all the trimmings. The dining room is small with plenty of staff on hand. I noticed a good bit of warm conversations taking place among the staff and the regular customers. Probably not the place to go if you prefer having a private conversation during your meal. Cash only but there is an ATM available. read more

Joe's Rusty Nail - Pot roast sliders. Very good - American Near Me - Bellevue, Pennsylvania

I've been coming to Joe's Rusty Nail since I was a little girl - it's one of my favorite spots in Bellevue. Their breakfast is delicious, but so their dinner menu. They are a cash only restaurant, but they have an ATM on site. I was meeting my parents for dinner around 6pm - I got to the restaurant first, so I went in to get a table. Maryann (our waitress) told me to pick a table, so I picked one against the wall. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of room in between the tables - but I was able to find one where our whole party was comfortable. Each day, they have different dinner specials. They also offer a variety of foods for those young and old. I ordered the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup go start - it was so tasty! I definitely order it again. I ordered the Chicken Stuffed Breast for dinner - it was similar to a Thanksgiving dinner. Chicken stuffed with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and cranberry sauce. It was delicious!!! For dessert, I ordered a piece of the Lemon Meringue pie - it hit the spot! I will be back again soon! read more

What a great little hometown eatery! I'm not over this way often so put out the call to some locals and they all said "You have got to try Rusty Nail!" Now I am telling you the same. This is a small charming little place in Bellevue with table seating and a full menu from Salads, to Burgers to full Meals and it looks like they have some amazing Breakfast I'll be back for. I tried one of the specials which was a Jambalaya Sandwich that should be on the main menu. Yes it was that good. A Sandwich and Potato Salad for $6.99 is a heck of a deal these days. The service was great and I get the feeling the ladies have all been there for ages. They seemed to have great rapport with the regulars of which there were many. This one should not be missed! read more
