It was a typical retro-vintage stop inside, and I was forewarned by the veteran waitress they were open only for the next half-hour. I reassured her I was not planning to stay long. It must've been the end of a long shift for her because she was grumbling to the busboy about the other waitress who decided to leave early. This other woman, clearly the 'Kiss Mah Grits' type, alienated me by calling me Mr. Miyagi and cackling about it to the rest of the staff. I thought I might be expected to recite lines from "The Karate Kid". Instead I ordered the $11.25 Grilled Meatloaf Melt, which came with quite a slice covered in fried onions and melted Swiss cheese barely held together by the toasted rye bread. It was on the greasy side, and the fries were dried out (Photo 10). What would Mr. Miyagi say? FOOD - 3 stars...meatloaf and fries on the middling side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...classic diner with naugahyde SERVICE - 3 stars...a step back in time TOTAL - 3 stars...if you're in the mood for a greasy spoon RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

By the way, when I say no-nonsense, it's no joke...food is served on paper plates. This beer & shot dive bar is as old school Pittsburgh as you can get. Service is no-nonsense, old school, and good.

One night recently when undecided of where to have dinner my wife said hey we've been wanting to try Nadine's so let's go. When we pulled up it lived up I was pleased to see they had their own parking lot. First impression of outside and inside was that it was definitely a dive bar, but that's not a bad thing. It's a tiny little place, long and narrow. It seemed like most of the patrons were local regulars. The menu was bigger than I expected and was surprised to see that they even offer breakfast service. We sat at the bar and we were quickly greeted. I decided to try the soup of the day which was lasagna soup. It wasn't bad, but not amazing. It could have had a little more seasoning. I then ordered a Reuben and my wife had a cheesesteak. The food was cooked right in front of us on a tiny little griddle behind the bar. It didn't take long for the food to arrive. It was all pretty solid. My wife seemed to enjoy her sandwich as did I. I should have asked for more Russian dressing for my Reuben but it was good.

I had mentioned a nearby diner to a fan I met at the game the night before and he scoffed at me and told me all about DeLuca's. He was passionate about the hot sausage and the griddle toasted Italian bread and I knew we would give it a shot! Turns out, he was absolutely right! DeLuca's is exactly what I'm looking for in a diner! Old school place, seating was comfortable, and our waitress made us feel right at home! I went with the Steel City and that included everything! Pancakes (which our lovely waitress added complimentary bananas to), hot sausage, bacon, home fries, eggs, and Italian bread toast. Everything was cooked perfectly! Hot sausage and eggs made a perfect sandwich on that bread! My wife had a delicious omelette. Such a wonderful send off from Pittsburgh!

The deluxe shakshuka was the best shakshuka I've had so far. I picked the lamb and beef sausage, which was delicious, and the sourdough bread that came with it was excellent. I also like that they have decaf coffee with free refills. Prices were affordable, and the portions were just right. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back. As a side note, on-street parking can take some time to find since Squirrel Hill tends to be busy, but we eventually find one that's a block away.

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!

From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was so charming and nostalgic, right down to the unbelievably reasonable prices. It's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and keeps you entertained the entire time you're there. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away with coffee and water while we looked over the menu. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the food being prepared right in front of us - the entire vibe of the room felt lively, authentic, and honestly hilarious at times. Between the conversations, the energy behind the counter, and the overall ambiance, it genuinely felt like dinner and a comedy show wrapped into one. We ordered the vegetable omelet and the pancake special, and both came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and comforting in the way classic breakfast spots should. You can tell this place has character, heart, and a loyal following for a reason. This is truly one of those spots that deserves way more attention and is 100% worth stopping into if you're in the area. And if you're a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you definitely need to check this place out!
