I love this place. The food is good. The price is right. There is parking in the back. The location is classic Wilkinsburg. Nancy's is always busy when I've gone on weekend mornings. Yum! I can't recommend this greasy spoon enough. The ambiance is old diner on a low budget and the look hasn't changed in years. read more

What an incredible dive find! Trust the yelp reviews- this place is a MUST HIT for breakfast! Walking in, it's your typical dinner until you see the hand written chalk sign of all the local vendors, farmers and butchers. A true surprise! Greeted by your friendly 'yinzer, we were seated at a booth and quickly looked over the menu while being served hot, local roasted coffee. We settled on splitting the "Fat Cat" and a side of the homemade biscuits and gravy - fantastic choice! Everything was perfectly cooked and incredibly seasoned. The local farm fresh eggs and sausage couldn't be beat! Do your self a favor and try this place out, you will be glad you did! read more

Been enjoying the food here, especially breakfast for years and years. Great bacon and eggs and coffee. A cross section of East End eats there - you should too. Not fancy but clean. read more

Nothing quite like some corned beef hash. Corned beef and potats are a match made in pure heaven. The saltiness of the corned beef and buttery tatos just compliment each other so well. I'm so used to corned beef hash being finely ground that it was a nice change to have bigger pieces of corned beef throughout. I've said it before but Nancy's Revival is a diamond in the rough. It's that classic diner feel, small, homey. But the food is great. #GOUDapproved for sure.

Old school ambiance with the best French Toast. Quick and attentive service. Good prices

Food was good! Service was good to be as busy as they were... Breakfast of the chain!!!! read more

This is my kind of diner! Old-fashioned booths, cooks with hairnets and quick waitresses who know everything about the menu and everything about you after the third visit. I love it when someone asks me, "Your usual?" and they remember what I got before. Don't go to Nancy's Revival expecting Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee or scones with lemon curd. Nancy's isn't that type of place. But if you want some delicious basic diner food, come here! Their bacon is outstanding, for one thing. No anemic thin sliced bacon scented slices here. Real deal, thick sliced bacon and lots of it! You want pancakes? Nancy's got them and they're super thin and reminiscent of another local joint's pancakes and just as good. Southern style fried fish and grits? Yes sir! Nancy's has them and they're delicious! I'm not sure what type of fish that they serve, but whatever seasoning and fish they serve is dee-lish-us! Sausage? Oh yeah! They've got sausage and their potatoes are right tasty! Corned Beef Hash with real corned beef? Yeah, baby! Yeah! This place isn't fancy and don't look too closely at the barely existent decor. Breakfast and lunch is what they serve here and it's good! Everyone should have a Nancy's Revival in their neck of the woods! read more

So weird... I know I left a review YEARS ago (Nancy's East End Diner) and then again a couple years ago when it was purchased by the new owner, Jordan. Anyway, when I lived in Regent Square this was my go-to. I have loved this place forever. And you know what? It only got better and keeps getting better. I'm never surprised by how delicious and fresh all of the offerings are. This is the way a diner should be. The staff are incredible. Seriously they totally seem to love being here. The food is some of the best I've ever had in my life. The havarti and apple grilled cheese is kind-blowing. I've had almost everything on the menu and there isn't one bad thing on it. read more

The service was amazing!! The food was so good! I got an omelet- make your own. Had ham, pepper jack cheese, onions, and peppers! The eggs were so fluffy and delicious along with Bite of ham and cheese goodness in every bite! Potatoes were perfectly done old style chunked home fries!! Guess what not 1 raw potato at all!! This little dinner has the community welcome good feeling! When I am in the area I will be going here! Should have taken pictures but I ate it to quickly!! read more

A real authentic down to earth diner! So glad it has been Revived! It's a combo of traditional diner food and some contemporary updates. Good prices. Ambiance is "comfortable diner", but a bit cluttered. They are popular in the community. I see people picking up takeout. Good service. Try it. read more

Amazing diner! I got the country fried steak and eggs with grits and everything was fire! My wife got a buffalo chicken wrap and was extremely happy! Great coffee, amazing food, superior customer service! Over all great experience! read more

Reluctantly stating that this should be thee place for breakfast in the Burgh (all respect to Pamela's) but I doubt many of yinz will venture across the tracks. You should. Maybe for the coffee alone. But certainly for the care and attention and damn good viddles. They use local purveyors and it shows. It's a steal at these prices compared to the usual suspects read more

A great old fashioned diner and a fantastic local spot in general. The prices are so great and the portions are quite good as well. It's cool they do delivery through Uber Eats as well. I ordered a la carte and got one pancake and one piece of French Toast (not too hungry). I'm glad I didn't order too much because that pancake was pretty huge! I've heard that they are very crispy on the outside usually, but since I got delivery, the crispness wasn't as noticeable. Still, the texture was great. They gave me some complimentary butter and maple syrup to pour on top of this giant pancake. Good stuff! The French toast costs the same, but the portion was significantly smaller. It was quality French toast, that was nice and sweet even without pouring any maple syrup, but not as great as the pancake. All in all, this is a nice breakfast spot in the Wilkinsburg area. Portions are great and so are the prices. Nothing too fancy or out of the ordinary, but good. I definitely prefer the pancake over the French toast. read more

I was a little disappointed overall in Nancy's Revival. I saw such great reviews and expected a lot. The store was a bit rundown and did not look like much. Old hard benches for seats. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with bacon and hash browns. The eggs where fine roughly the same as any other place. The bacon was ok nothing special and the hash browns where terrible totally greasy and tasted terrible. I would not go again. I would not recommend Nancy's Revival. read more

Awesome breakfast!!! Had an egg shell on my eggs but other than that everything was perfect and that was nothing, picked it off! Awesome and delicious local ingredients! Supports local businesses. Yes, this place looks older it's been around since the 1970s!! People commenting rude things on the appearance of the place need to understand- it's an older classic diner restaurant with great food, fair prices, and kind workers! Loved this place a lot and can't wait to go back! The menu is also a good size. They have the best country fried steak. They use steak not chicken which I loved! The employees were as sweet as could be. They were short staffed and everything was still done in a quick and efficient matter, with a smile on their faces. 10/10 read more

Made me sick food taste like it's been sitting in oil all day vomiting all day very bad experience all day

My family stopped here randomized for breakfast after leaving Pittsburgh. Don't worry about the looks of the place. We had an excellent breakfast. My husband had the southwestern omelette and loved it. And he is very picky about his omelettes. The French toast was great and I left with my pile of bacon for the road. I was too stuffed to eat it. My son had the crepe style pancakes. Not what he was used to but nevertheless he ate the whole plate. He even liked the sausage which I was very surprised. The place was packed and had a line out the door. That's exactly what you want to see at a breakfast joint. All the staff that we spoke to were very friendly. If I lived close by, I would eat there every Sunday. It had a very eclectic customer base and we felt right at home. read more

Delicious, hearty, reasonable try the biscuits and gravy (even if you think you don't like them- you'll like these!!)

One word Cornbread waffle So good Nancy's is a fantastic breakfast spot We came on a Thursday morning around 10 place was popping always a good sign Nice hot coffee to start Super duper server right on his game We had waffles eggs hot cakes sausage biscuits Each item better then the other Little booths and tables It's cozy and cute Wilkinsburg Reminds me of Bedford falls from it's a beautiful life but time has taken its toll it's run down shabby with many empty buildings Look past it all go to Nancy's there is a metered lot in back read more

They suck a big ol' D. Classic case of " Only Game In Town". Hard pass The service is sooooo bad I thought it might be a parody- like dining theater reenactment of bad service. But this place is real- it's actually a dinner but the service and food is so bad it felt like a SNL skit. read more

Nancy's revival is a hidden gem in Wilkinsburg. Although they have sit down dining inside they decided to forgo it and make it a takeout and delivery place only. They operate a food truck called "Revival chili" which happened to be on the premises during our visit to veg fest. Since there was an ordering line we decided to try their food from Revival chili. A handsome and suave fellow named Pete waited on us and took our orders. My husband had which was filled with rice, grains, and protein while I decided to go with their signature chili. The chili comes with a choice of three toppings and you can have a base of either rice or cornbread. I decided to go with the cornbread and topped it with green onions, mangos, and cheese. Both dishes were served piping hot and when we got it home hardly needed reheating. My chili was very good and had a bit of a "kick" to it. I tasted my husband's burrito and it was also delicious. The chili comes in two sizes and I opted for the smaller which was just enough for me. Since this was veg fest they were only offering vegan versions of their entrees but they did not disappoint. I glanced at their breakfast menu in the window and they do seem to have a good variety of things to choose from. I'm glad I finally got the opportunity to try out this spot and hope to try their breakfast sometime in the future when they reopen their doors to indoor dining. They have a metered parking lot off to the side of the premises. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars. There is simply no other rating. My husband discovered this place because you can see it from the busway in Wilkinsburg. We went this morning and there is meter parking in the lot. Cost me 25 cents for 1.5 hours. Im not sure where else in this city you can get that kind of deal. Inside it looks like a true diner. It was clean and the staff were friendly. I ordered the southwestern omelette and my hubby got the italian scramble. Literally one of the best omelette's I have ever eaten in my life and super filling. I feel like a beached whale right now. Lets not forget that this pace is actually reasonably priced too. $17 for two of us. Yep we will be returning. read more

Three stars for the food--the grits needed salt--five stars for the friendly, welcoming attitude. I've never had their food truck food, but I like the idea of a small business in Wilkingsburg that hires people other employers avoid (the homeless, ex-prisoners) and want them to succeed. They partner with other local enterprises, like Leona ice cream and Red Ribbon glass-bottled sodas. We tried their Fish Fry Friday menu and will probably be back for other things, since they're not a far walk from our house. There's good people-watching through the big plate-glass windows out front, or you can ogle a wall full of old photographs while you eat. The kitchen is fast, and they have free WiFi while you (don't) wait. read more

The restaurant is on the smaller side and there aren't that many seats, but there were a few empty tables so we were seated immediately at 10:30am on a Saturday. Food came out pretty fast; took about 10 minutes. I got the Fat Cat breakfast (eggs, homefries, sausage, and pancakes). I enjoyed the homefries more after seasoning it with black pepper and the pancakes were great (just wish they came out a little warmer). Boyfriend got the meat-o-rama (bacon, ham, sausage, and your choice of cheese) and thought it wasn't bad. He also ordered a BLT to go, but thought it was average when eating it a couple hours later. Overall, a solid place for brunch. The pancakes were the best part. Taste | 3.5-4 Atmosphere | 3 Presentation | 3 Service | 3.5 OVERALL | 3.5 read more

Their omelets are small (only 2 eggs) and they have a shortened menu on Sundays, but if you are looking for a true greasy spoon diner experience, Nancy's is a good place for breakfast. Just make sure you get extra napkins to wipe up the grease, and go ahead and add an extra egg to your omelet. You'll thank me later. It's worth the extra $1.50. One thing that stood out from our breakfast that was atypical of a diner was the fruit cup. Fresh watermelon, strawberries, oranges, blueberries and grapes - also well worth the up charge. read more

My husband and I came here based on its reviews, and we were blown away by how much we enjoyed our experience from start to finish. It's a great diner that's full of local color. Literally, there are photos of patrons all over the walls, and the crowd is diverse. We've made it a point to come back every other week or so ever since. Shoutout to our favorite server, Gregory! My fave dishes are the Fat Cat breakfast plate, biscuits and gravy, and their grits are on point. My husband gravitates towards their sandwiches. We love this restaurant and hope it weathers the pandemic crisis. read more

I'm always on the hunt for the next best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and Nancy's just might be the best I've had in a long time. On first glance, Nancy's appears to be your typical greasy spoon diner. The inside was packed with a bustling Sunday brunch crowd and featured kitschy teal and yellow booths. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin and it did not the disappoint. The eggs were incredibly fluffy and the combination of the salty bacon and soft muffin checked all the boxes. Despite being out of cornbread, they offered to put some batter in the waffle maker and made me a cornbread waffle. The prices were fair and experience was great! read more

first of all what happened to the fact that I am a paying customer? Customer service? the customer is always right? I asked for the transaction to be canceled and redone as cash. I was told that could not be done. I wasn't refunded, I was treated poorly and the food went into the garbage or home with the employees after I paid for it. unfair. Unfair is the treatment I received from people that were being paid to be there. It is ok, stand behind your rude, disrespectful, thieving staff. At this point I deserve more that the money that was lost. I've included proof but as I mentioned the digital receipt was not sufficient for your staff. read more

Food is okay, portion size is good too. But the customer service is non existent. Tables are dirty and old, flies inside the restaurant, loud rap music, waitress forgot about us, cups sat empty on the edge of the table for half the meal, my eggs came wrong, and they were out of fries and grits. During our meal someone tried to get a table and told the cook "i dont want my food with attitude" and left. Overall i think the health department should come to visit this place. Won't be back read more
