O'Leary's - Diners Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I live 1.5 hours away from Pittsburgh, so I don't get out this way often. But I tried this place for the first time today. And while it was my first time here, the staff treated me like I was a regular. Everyone was so friendly. I had the Meat Eater Omelet (sausage, bacon, ham, cheese) with home fries, toast, and ordered a single side pancake with chocolate chips & peanut butter chips. Added a few dashes of hot sauce to the omelet and potatoes, and it was great! The pancake was so good, I didn't even add any syrup. Highly recommend this place when you're in the area. Only con - it's cash-only here, but there is an ATM inside. read more

Second round here this week. Really dig this spot. Nothing fancy just good food and really friendly staff. I had a steak omelette that was served with home fries and toast. My companion had a sausage egg and cheese sandwich and loaded home fries. Every thing was cook and seasoned perfectly. The crazy part. $18 dollars total for the bill?!! You can't beat that. Just moved back here after 25 years in DC. Think this will be a regular spot. Can't say enough about the welcoming staff and great food. Yinz gotta check it out read more

Small spot with homemade style breakfast and nice service. Good menu and reasonably priced . I recommend

When I'm in the mood for breakfast for lunch during the week I walk to O'Leary's. It's a bit of a greasy spoon but the food is really filling. I enjoy watching them prepare the meal on the grill a few steps away from the booths. Reminder - it's cash only. read more

O'Leary's - Three-meat omelet with breakfast potatoes and rye toast - Diners Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Was in town over the weekend and passed by Saturday while walking and thought smelled so good. Our buddy from the area suggested let's get breakfast Sunday before we left and this was his recommendation since we had Airbnb not far. This place is small but makes some business. I will stress don't expect to be in and out fast regardless if eating in or taking out. I will say this was a great breakfast. Love the choices they have and takes me back to the local greasy spoon that was around the corner from where I grew up. The ladies running the place are constantly on the go. Ordered ice tea and came on cardboard container which really made me feel old but was delicious. read more

This little mom and pop hole in the wall on Carson is just what you need to get your weekend started! The staff is so friendly and the people make this place a neighborhood charm!! We even got a cold beer on the house after our meal to start off St. Pattys day. The food was decent - nothing to write home about, but quick - cheap and left us with full bellies. read more

O'Leary's - Breakfast - Diners Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Wife Daughter & I went here yesterday for late breakfast. O'Leary's is a true looking old style diner. The place is on the small side but does have a good amount of seating as long as it does not get too busy. We got a table right away in a great big booth big enough for 6 people. The table was cleaned spotless and the waitress came right over and got drink orders. Waitress brought our drink orders and took our orders. I had a #2 special 2 eggs over easy and bacon and home fries well done with white toast and to drink I had a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whip cream. The service was fantastic and waitress was very friendly. My food was delicious and eggs cooked perfectly. The prices are really good compared to other diners. If you are in the area I highly recommend O'Leary's. I will definitely be coming back again read more

The best old school diner I've been to in any city in many years. A great greasy spoon with excellent prices and vibe. Cash only.

Very nice breakfast location. Cute downtown area with many shops close by. Family owned and operated and very sweet vibe. Many local ppl seemed to be regulars. Our food was good and prepared when ordered. Pancake was very nice and so was the staff. read more

This place screams Pittsburgh. Walked in to a small cramped space with Pittsburghesque murals and an old school diner motif. I ordered an egg kielbasa sandwich with spicy mustard on Texas toast. At first I was hesitant but the waitress taking my order assured me it was good. She was right. It was delicious. May not have been the healthiest but who cares. What stood out to me the most, however, was how busy and hardworking all of the staff were. They were constantly moving around and in the middle of something. What was even more remarkable, and bear with me as I am writing this review at least a week later, was that I do not at all recall the place being dirty. You'd think there would be food spilled on the ground given how busy the staff were but that was not the case. In summary, I loved the old school straight-up unpretentious local Pittsburgh neighborhood vibe, the closed intimate space, the hustle and bustle of the staff who deserve accolades for working hard yet remaining friendly and pleasant, and last but not least, my tasty sandwich. read more

I stopped in on 8/20/23 in the am for breakfast with my grandniece. Everything was good with the food until the head person screamed infront of me get off your phone and eat i dont serve it hot to sit there while your on the phone. So at that point i did not feel like eating. Back story here.. Iam a past head and neck cancer patient it takes me 40 minutes to eat no matter what. the phone helps me pass the time. I hope she reads this. She knows who i am. i politely got up and paid and left. Chuck B. read more

Great food and people. Love their breakfast. Parking right in front of the building. Room to stay and eat.

Walked in and were not greeted or acknowledged for 10 minutes. Also had a giant "Blue Lives Matter" flag in the back. I can't speak to the food quality, it must be good considering the other reviews, but it isn't worth the terrible service and promotion of bigoted ideals. Bummer. There are other breakfast places in the city/Southside to support. read more

Good food. Good people. Always enjoy. No need to be fancy. Food speaks for itself.

Definitely a Mom and Pop's joint. Order ahead because they are always busy. Excellent food.

Great classic greasy spoon diner. Simple tasty food, cheap prices. Place is small only a couple booths and counter seating so I don't suggest coming during busy times unless you want to wait. Cash only! Place is surprisingly warm, wherever I go, I am always cold. But I ended up taking off two layers. There wasn't a booth immediately open when I got there but I waited at the counter seats then moved on over. Service staff very friendly about it. Came to take drink order once the full party was seated. I got a hot chocolate. Came with whipped cream and marshmallows. They had a sign that said chicken noodle soup was the soup of the day but they were all out when I tired to order it :( So for my meal I ended up ordering grits, cheesy home fries, and turkey bacon. It is hard to find breakfast spots with turkey bacon so once I saw that on the menu I was already excited. Everything was very delicious. Definitely a happy customer. Just a heads up when you are ready to leave, pay at the counter, they don't bring a check over. We were first timers so we didn't know. The lady at the counter apologized. It was totally okay and know we know for next time. Overall: friendly staff and cheap tasty diner food. read more

O'Leary's is an authentic Pittsburgh diner in the Southside. Crowded on weekends and for good reason. Scrumptious omelettes, atomic is a treasure. Great eggs and sides and an eclectic atmosphere. Very friendly staff and a mix of regulars and visitors. If you are close by it could become your go to spot. If you are just visiting it is somewhere to check off your bucket list. It is cash only, so put your credit cards away. Very reasonably priced. Fun place for breakfast. read more

O'Leary's - Atomic omelette - Diners Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

A tough one. Seeing someone work so hard behind the counter and serving up decent eats at a fair price, I can't give 3 stars. But then the lack of anyone else working and the incredibly dingy bathrooms keeps this place from 5 stars. I came in one morn and was pleasantly greeted by the Manager/Chef/Server/Check out girl/Prep cook and who only knows what else this lady does. She quickly gave me some coffee and asked for my order. I was killing some time, so I told her no hurry, as I glanced at the menu. A steak and egg bagel for $5. Almost too good to be true. Although weary, it was pretty great. Got some hash browns as well. Was thinking 5 stars all the way. Then I went to the bathroom. They are dealing with tight space and i get it. And as a place mostly frequented by locals, who probably just use their own. But wow, down a flight of stairs shouldn't be legal. And man it was dingy when I got down there. I just chose not to use it. Bottom line, stop in for a quick breakfast, but don't drink too much coffee. read more

What can. I say that has not been said. Coming from Toronto where food can be over priced and your hungry an hour later, not to mention staff going through the motions....O'Learys is a fantastic little greasy spoon that's family owned. Simple menu- fresh coffee, huge portions and reasonable prices. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, with bacon and home fries and toast. Bacon was enormous- perfectly crisp- eggs were cooked just right ( and I don't often find eggs done right)- Bf ordered a veggie omelette that took up half the plate with home fries and toast. It was all delicious and I kid you not we were still stuffed came lunch and only needed dinner! If you want fancy and upscale don't come here. If you only have plastic hit up an ATM. Although it was not our first choice I am really glad we ate there. And would 100% go back. read more
