Large selection of great breakfast and brunch foods, wonderfully served by smiling, friendly waitresses in cozy surroundings. We've never been disappointed when eating there! Delicious pancakes and FRENCH TOAST, served with not-your-average bacon. So good. We highly recommend trying this restaurant for a happy ;-) FULLfilling experience! read more

The Crack'd Egg - Pancakes with this pecan syrup was worth the trip alone - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

I have lived two miles from this place and never been. It's quaint and small town diner feeling. While I was there, a regular was talking about his visits and he's there on Sundays. The servers all knew him by name. They sat us quickly. They have a delightful menu and I want to go back to try the corn beef and hash! I got the egg combo and with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and cheesy potatoes. It was delicious. I can't wait to sample more of the menu. The only downside, I missed photos! Next time. read more

Food was phenomenal , atmosphere was great, the service was spot on our server was Amy she was absolutely wonderful great personality. Would highly recommend this establishment and we will be going back. We would like to try more things on the menu. This was our first time ever going. The prices for the food are extremely reasonable for the portions that you get most places you go and you're paying 1/3 more for this amount of food. Our total bill with taxes was $43.83. That also includes an appetizer that we got we were both very full and both of us were extremely satisfied. read more

There's a few police vehicles outside, but unless you can arrest this place for great taste (in both food and decor) and friendly attentive service, it looks like they're just here to get a good meal like the rest of us. And with portion sizes this big at these prices, I'd be emotionally cuffed to this place too. We took a booth for two, my companion requesting a coffee (that was promptly topped off) and water (with ice and a straw in a mason cup) for myself, we took time looking over the menu, struggling to narrow things down. You have plenty choice of customizations, which I banked on when ordering my 3 egg omelet. I skipped the meat and cheese and went straight for veggie loading. This thing was jacked up with an impressive mount of salty black olives (no additional seasoning needed), caramel tinged onions and large slices of cooked mushroom. It was buttery without being drenched in the flavor, letting the ample egg fill my belly. I couldnt even manage to poke at my 3 extra large pierogies or my double slices of marbled rye with a butter sheen, which made it into a to go box. My companion got the pecan banana French toast. It came with decently sized bacon, in that sweet spot of crispy. The sweet level of the star itself was pleasureful without being cavity inducing. The thick bread wasn't overly eggy, rather buttery, layered with slices of banana between and on top. The caramel sauce had the right viscosity and quantity, holding the nuts. It was topped with whipped cream, a really solid showing. She tapped out about halfway through, also taking a to go box because this place does not play around (yet somehow manages to come off as playful all the same.) The leftovers will carry us the rest of the way on our long journey back home where we will mourn our lack of The Crack'd Egg, who are entirely what they are cracked up to be. read more

The service was quick and friendly and the food was great! Portions sizes were good as well.

Food was good and service was good I loved the corn beef hash ! It was very different and amazing! The candied bacon was also awesome!

Looking for Eggs Benedict...? Stopped in for breakfast on Monday, around 11:00. Good music playing, we were seated immediately, and the server came right over with menus. We requested coffee's & ice waters. He gave us a few minutes to review the menu and brought our drinks. Kim ordered the Cracked Arnold ($9.99) and I ordered the Loaded Crack'd Fries ($6.99). The food came out nice & quick and was DELICIOUS! We would each order the same thing again... but their menu has lots more to offer. read more

I'm always looking for a fresh breakfast/brunch spot especially in Pittsburgh. While bottomless mimosas are really my thing, places like this still get the job done even when I can't live my limitless mimosa dream. The area where Crack'd Egg is located is super cute and quaint. The street in Brentwood has a small town, old-fashioned vibe with hints of modern culture with the GameStop across the street. We went on a Sunday late morning, and the wait time was approximately 20 minutes for two. There was a bit of line. When you walk in, the space is much larger than it appears from the outside. We were seated just under 20 minutes in the middle of the dining room. The noise level is quite moderate. Be careful of the floor, I almost slipped twice wearing my booties. The decor and atmosphere carries a comfy and homey vibe which is refreshing especially on a Sunday morning. I ordered the Spiced Pumpkin Coffee off their seasonal menu; the homemade cream was excellent! I savored it for the entirety of my meal. The menu is unique with the names of meals. For example, I ordered the Olive Oyl which is simply a tomato, spinach, mozzarella and olive omelette. It was good and made traditionally. My partner ordered the Steak and Eggs which he admitted needed A1 sauce. He still enjoyed it even though the flavor was slightly lacking. Overall, we found the food delicious even if needed a little more flavor. The staff was busy but very hospitable and helpful. The space and location are charming. Give this place a try for breakfast one morning; I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

What an incredible meal. The server was amazing she recommended the Crackin' which gave us the opportunity to try their yummy pancakes and the delicious bacon, corn beef, and kielbasa. It was worth the travel from Beaver, PA there for brunch! read more

I forgot to take a photo of the menu which I usually always do. :( Anyway, my son always wanted to try it here and we have lived literally a block down the road for almost 7 years yet this was our first visit this past Saturday morning. The only other time we have been here was when Mrs. Claus comes to the restaurant for the Brentwood Christmas festivities. The service here is just great - very attentive and friendly. I don't have a thing bad to say - we didn't have to ask for anything, he brought us everything we needed. I just wish we came sooner. The breakfast that my son got was the funfetti pancakes with sausage patties ($3.99). I had the 2 egg combo with sausage patties, fried potatoes, and toast ($6.99). My son had a large glass of orange juice which was pretty big compared to other diners - I was surprised. The coffee was delicious as I tend to judge breakfast places based on their coffee and breakfast meats. The meals were made just right (and came out at the appropriate time maybe only 15 minutes after we ordered) with the perfect portions that leave you satisfied and not overstuffed. The inside of the restaurant gives off a comfortable feel as if you are in your own dining room. There are a few tables to sit outside (and even water dishes for dogs!) - really cute home-y decor. I like the small tabletop trash cans for little trash items from sugar, milk, jelly etc - makes for a smooth cleanup for the staff. All of their prices were very reasonable. We often frequent First Watch but this restaurant is probably the nicest little diner in our community and I look forward to many more visits as I prefer to support locally. We really enjoyed our breakfast and even my 7 year old said - "this place is really cool." read more

I stopped in looking for a late breakfast/brunch. I got the breakfast burrito and some coffee. My wife got a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Everything tasted great and staff was very friendly and everything is priced fairly. However, you must know that they let you know real quick that they are very right wing. From the patriotic work wear to the Christian imagery in the decor to the anti mask merchandise for sale in the back, they hit you over the head with it in a hurry. The badazzled "I Will Not Comply" t shirt is notable item. Whatever your beliefs are, this just too much and unnecessary. I just want some coffee and eggs. This country has enough propaganda on every corner. Do in need it at brunch? I submit that I do not. However I will say I'm glad we ask Americans can mostly agree on importance of great breakfast food. At least there's that. read more

Who is giving this place less than 5 stars!?!? Do me a favor, order the Steakhouse Omlette, and try to tell me that's not the best steak and eggs you have ever had! Absolutely phenomenal breakfast!! Comes out piping hot, and the flavor is delicious! Melty cheese and mushrooms! I can't get enough! Always very friendly staff! Fast service! Come enjoy the best breakfast in Brentwood/Pittsburgh by far!! read more

I had an excellent breakfast meal with my coworker at the Crack'd Egg. This was my first time here. I loved the unique layout of the restaurant. We had our suspicions that they were understaffed but we still experienced good service. I had the waffle and sausage patties. I would definitely come back and try some more on their menu. My son got a breakfast meal which included their potato pancakes and they were very yummy also. read more

I so enjoyed the Cracked egg! I came here this past Sunday for breakfast while out and about the South hills area. Small diner with a cozy feel and awesome comfort food. I got the chicken or the egg breakfast with 2 chicken tenders with gravy, eggs over easy, toast and the best home fries I ever did have! ... so satisfying. I saw that they have a BYOB Bloody Mary situation on Saturdays and Sundays. The only time I wish I had a spare bottle of Tito's on me!!!!! Will be embarking on this at a later date ;) read more

Now based on honest reviews am being harassed and threatened. The hypocrisy is laughable based on the reviews of the other user, and the lack of spine by commenting to me then blocking each time after. To be fair, I gave the restaurant a 3 star review as to not let this user affect it even more negatively. read more

The Crack'd Egg - This is what I receive after posting an honest review. Lol. - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. The decor is a mismatch of items. I feel like it's a personal and family type place. There is definitely some political statements on the shirts and merch which could be off putting to anyone on the opposite side of the view. I had a breakfast burrito. It was hot and big. I would prefer home made salsa rather than the store bought pre optioned pack. But not deducting points for that. I was full when I left and not unsatisfied read more

Great service, poor food and diarrhea! I was excited to try this place only to be met with impossible parking and terrible food. So dissapointed! I ordered the Eggs Benetict over Corned Beef hash with a side of wheat toast. The hash was pulled beef of unknowned origin mashed with potatoes. The hash was gooey and served at room temperature. Additional order was biscuits and gravy brought to my table cold. When I asked to have it it warmed they said "We don't have a microwave", but I can put it under a heat lamp. read more

This review should have happened a couple years ago but I forgot about it until recently. I was on a traveling construction team that had a overnight job in the Pittsburgh area . My crew of workers picked your establishment for a quick to go breakfast because we had gotten off to a late start from the hotel . I opted for the chicken salad pita and the crack'd fries . My coworker Mitch opted for a eggs over easy with home fries, sausage , bacon and three orders of toasted white bread and I believe he ordered a 1/2 gallon or extra large chocolate milk and a breakfast danish or something that resembled a danish We arrived at the job site 10 minutes late ( traffic issues) and went straight to a job site foreman meeting. Half way through the meeting Mitch started to burp and release what I refer to as SBV ( silent but violent ) toxic gas from the rumbling interior of his stomach , I could tell he wasn't going email it to the Joh Johnny that were stationed about 3 city blocks from the superintendents trailer . Needless to say Mitch prairie dogged the first 175 yards then came to a sudden stop !! He wasn't going to make it to the provided job site bathrooms , he knew it , I know it and the 60 or so hired contractors that were on the job site that day knew it . Mitch ended up relieving his bowels in the middle of a dirty , muddy jobsite filled with construction vehicles !! Due to the breakfast Mitch consumed at your establishment I am inclined to give you one star due to the embo, ridicule and shame that a Mitch feels whenever we work at the same job sites . read more

This was my first time here for breakfast. The food was fresh, the menu names creative and the server very personable! I knew it would be a good experience when our server just gave us four quarters for the parking meter and told us about the street behind the restaurant to park next time. The coffee was hot and not your typical water downed breakfast java. It was bold and delicious. They offer three different kinds of potatoes; cheesy, home fries and crispy potato pancakes. We had the latter two and they were both full of flavor. The toast options were more extensive than most as well. An added bonus included in the jelly selection orange marmalade and apple butter... again outside of the norm. I had the chicken and the egg. Two homemade chicken tenders smothered in a very yummy homemade gravy, two eggs (mine over medium for a little dippy action), home fries and two thick pieces of marble rye toast. My daughter had the Eastwood which was a stuffed omelet with all kinds of goodness. My only lack of five stars was the price. For two of us with tip $30 for breakfast. A bit steep. But you pay for the ambience and the quality food. Don't worry. I will be back! Well done!!! UPDATE I was here again a few times. Since my first visit I have eliminated carbs for the most part, in my life. I wanted an omelette but I did not care for the toast and potatoes (so many choices)! I asked to substitute a small side salad for the potatoes and toast.....they said yes for no extra charge!!! They have come through again. So if you are a KETO eater .... give em a try. read more

Stopped in for a quick B-fast to meet a friend who really liked the Crack'd Egg. Liked the service and friendliness of the staff. The menu has some creative takes on some old standbys. My Capri Benedict is two eggs on two thick sliced tomatoes with some Motz cheese, Hollandaise, and Balsamic Reduction and some great home fries. Really a nice B-fast. read more

I had herd about the Crack'd Egg and many raving reviews. My daughter and I went there for breakfast today. Th waitress came over and gave us menus and took drink orders immediately. Waitress was extremely friendly. I had 2 eggs over easy with well done bacon and home fries and white toast. The bacon was the best part of the meal unfortunately. The home fries were very good as well, But it was like a half a portion??? The eggs which should of been over easy where not cooked correctly not left on 2nd side long enough to cook it correctly. the yolk was fine but the whites were watery? / whites not cooked properly. If it was not for the fantastic and friendly service I would of given them 1-2 stars only. I give them 3 stars as the service was exceptional, But the food not. I do not think I would go there again as I generally eat the same thing all the time and to get half an order of home fries and eggs that are not cooked correctly I do not need to travel that distance. The place is very nice and very cozy. And as I stated the waitress was super friendly and nice. Unfortunately I can not recommend the Crack'd Egg. read more

This is our new go-to for breakfast and brunch!! You absolutely cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I love getting takeout, but the restaurant is pretty cool for dining in too. My favorite is probably the chicken and the egg, which has chicken tenders, gravy, eggs, potato and toast. Their gravy is so good! If the chicken and the egg sounds like too much, you've got to try the gravy and get the biscuits and gravy. We order takeout here probably every weekend. Food is prepared fast, it's good, and very affordable! read more

Cute little place on Brownsville near the Giant Eagle. Street parking. Mostly indoor but few outdoor seating options. Restaurant has always been clean and servers friendly. Good breakfast options. Gets busy on weekends during prime breakfast/brunch times as you could expect. They offer specials in addition to regular menu. I've enjoyed the avocado toast and inlets. Have not tried lunch menu. I will be back! read more

When you arrive it feels like a diner in Florida - yellow walls decorated with colorful wall art and a gray chair rail. The tapestry bar stools are a warm feeling also. The staff will happily seat you to a booth or table if you do not wish to sit at the bar. Then it is time to make decisions on what to eat. My husband got the Release the Cracken...You get to decide your egg style, 2 (two) meat selections, potato type, toast type and then you get to select pancakes - plain, blueberry, banana or chocolate chip. Everything came out perfect. It is March so I chose the Cracked Ruben which came with awesome potato pancakes. Everything was cooked to perfection. We definitely have a new South Hills favorite breakfast stop. read more

Left an honest review about a visit to this place a while ago and received a message from a Willard R. That making disparaging remarks about me. Based on other reviews I have read, the cracked egg should probably worry more about the amount of people that get sick after eating there. Then I noticed the public health warnings. Wished I had seen that before. read more

This place seems to be Brentwoods best kept secret. I have seen the front of this place almost everyday driving down Brownsville rd but never had the opportunity to go in because of their hours of operation (8am-2pm). Looking at the front, you would think this is a small breakfast diner with maybe a dozen tables. This place is deceptively large! It has a country kitchen feel to the decor and a nice laid back staff. They serve mostly breakfast food but also offer a lunch menu. They also have multiple options to pick from. Sausage, bacon, corned beef, home fries, potato patty, wheat toast, white toast, rye toast, multiple syrups, etc. This is just naming a few! The service was great, the food was great, and the overall feel of the place was great. 5 stars. read more

I wanted to give this place another shot but it's like their main objective to make food bad. Literally god made eggs perfect and they've somehow destroyed them like how? I'm almost impressed at the destruction of something that only needs a little salt to be good. read more

Just wanted to have breakfast and thought I would give it a try. Only a few people in there on a Friday morning. Employees wearing anti mask shirts ( maybe someone should tell them there hasn't been a mask mandate for quite sometime) . Picture of Governor Wolf saying he's not welcome. The only thing missing was a tRump flag. I'll spent my hard earned money elsewhere. read more

A Gem! Awesome food and atmosphere. Our first time eating here, but won't be the last for sure

The kindest word I can come up with here is DISGUSTING. The place was filthy. There was what appeared to be dirt or maybe just grime mixed through my eggs. The bacon was both limp and cold but also without flavor. The floor and bathrooms reminded me of my bar days where I would tolerate the filth for .50 drafts. Nothing about this place even moderately acceptable. Not only will I never return here inflect the need (which I rarely do) to share how HORRIBLE my experience was with the interwebs. Money is better spent on a gas station breakfast. read more

I stopped over here after my blood work "fast" to try out their breakfast. They actually serve lunch and brunch but I opted for breakfast. The place is very clean and there are tables and booths along with a bar to eat from. Upon arrival I was told I could sit anywhere I wanted. I chose a large booth and my waitress was extremely attentive to my needs. I even had a cloth napkin which held my silverware. Portion sizes appeared huge but I had a craving for an omelette. If one on the list didn't meet your expectations then you can order a "make your own" with one meat and 3 other fillings. The omelet comes with toast of your choice, and your choice of home fries or potato pancakes. Most omelets are 3 eggs so I ordered one with Swiss cheese and veggies. Everything you need is right on the table including ketchup. I got my food in a reasonable amount of time. This omelet was delicious and the rye bread that came with it was very thick! Quite filling to say the least. I had coffee-your standard type you would get in most breakfast spots but I liked the fact that the food was not greasy and believe me hard to finish. Prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. This is a very small place on Brownsville Road almost directly opposite Brentwood Towne Square. Parking however, can pose a problem. Street parking is available if you are lucky enough to find it. You cannot park in the Towne Square and walk up. Signs are there stating they will tow unless you are visiting one of those businesses. Definitely a must return to try out for lunch. 2 hour street parking is available during the day but again the spots are very limited. read more

There's nothing more that I love than breakfast. Replacing an older breakfast joint, the Crack's Egg really cracked the code to a great spot. Totally renovated and open space. The coffee is strong, hot and bottomless. I've visited twice and can't wait to go back for more. Omelettes are fluffy and full. Selections of breads to accompany and choices of potatoes makes me very happy on a Saturday AM drop-in. While I haven't (yet) tried the waffles or pancakes, from a distance they look amazing! One of these options will definitely be my next morning fill up though it will be hard to veer from my love of omelettes. Stop in and check this place out! read more

I had this delivered to my place of work on a particularly busy weekend at the hospital.
