    Flyin' Hawaiian: Serrano ham, pineapple, burrata, and a poached egg on sourdough. YUM!
    Melissa C.

    Coffee: STRONG Service: Friendly! Ambiance: Easy-breezy Food: Tasty and plentiful Terrific breakfast spot. Bright and cheerful, laid-back vibe. Great selection of coffees (cortado, cappuccino, latte, etc.) and STRONG drip. All our breakfasts-Flyin' Hawaiian toast, I Am Kazaam (similar to a shakshuka), and straight-up old-school eggs and home fries--were delicious and ample. Sela, our server, was Johnny-on-the-spot with coffees and was a delight. After a late night of music downtown, this was just what the doctor ordered.

    Went to Speckled Egg without reservation on a Sunday morning! I saw that they switched reservation systems and are now on Tock!?? I saw Tock was showing open tables and so I thought I'd hit Speckled Egg and REI next door, and sure enough, they seated me immediately as their counter spaces were mostly empty. This South Side Works location has a clean, crisp, bright ambiance vs the other location that has a very different feel because of its old fancy building vibes. The counter seats I am afraid are a real pain in the butt... some of the most uncomfortable ones I've found anywhere and they're too high for people who aren't tall. I'd suggest regular tables... Saw no wifi of their own. I had the Hen's Hash, which was great and came with a generous helping of well cooked delicious potatoes. I've previously had their version of the shakshuka (I am Kazaam), which is also nice. I appreciate it when restaurants have decent hot sauces. They had tabasco, which is a pretty low bar but they had this in-house fancy drizzle, which was great... but it wasn't hot at all. Friendly attentive server at the bar there. No issues!

    Very friendly and attentive staff! I did have a bit of a wait before being seated, but that's expected for a Saturday in Pittsburgh (especially one with nice weather!). :) The food was INCREDIBLE and beautiful platted! The atmosphere is cheery and bustling with people! I highly recommend The Speckled Egg South Side location! It's much bigger than the downtown location, and I love that it's connected to a coffee shop! Parking is VERY easy too (at least two parking lots nearby, and street parking)!

    I went out to breakfast with my wife. We decided on The Speckled Egg. I have to say The speckled Egg is one of the best breakfast spots I have been to in Pittsburgh. The staff were fantastic and super friendly. The waitress was super friendly and nice and did an amazing job. I had 2 eggs over easy and toast, bacon and home fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. I would 100% recommend this place and it is definitely a must goto breakfast spot. I will definitely be going back for more.

    We were in Pittsburgh for a few hours and asked around for brunch recommendations. The Speckled Egg came up multiple times and it did not disappoint! It was easy to park and we were seated promptly. The restaurant is spacious and decorated with egg-themed pieces. You could tell from how the kitchen operated that they cared a lot about quality and freshness. We got a breakfast sando, aloha pudding, and a breakfast plate with eggs, sausage, and toast. The pudding was incredible and made me question why I don't try to make chia seed pudding more often! Really delicious toppings of chopped nuts, fresh fruit, toasted oats. The sausage was the best sausage I've ever had for brunch. I also tried one of their fresh squeezed juices and also felt that was high quality. Definitely try this place out!

    Stopped at The Speckled Egg In SSW for brunch before the Steelers game. I would recommend reservations on the weekends, especially flea market days or other SSW event days. I heard great things about their cocktails, but was disappointed in the pumpkin spice espresso martini, something was off and tasted a bit sour. Other than that, everything was excellent and my grilled cheese was to die for! I have always had a great meal here.

    The BEST!! This is my favorite brunch spot in Pittsburgh. It never disappoints. Everything is always delicious, the cocktails are beautiful, and the service is so friendly. My favorite order is either the breakfast sandwich or the pattys melt. I think the Patty's melt is literally the best thing they make. Seriously everyone needs to try!!!

    Stopped by for brunch earlier today at the southside location. Nice restaurant n lovely ambience and friendly staff. We did not make reservations n couldn't get a table so sat by the counters in front of kitchen which was not bad. Had the hens hash w sunny side up tuna melt n pattys melt. Generous portions. The hens hash was v good n flavorful w mushrooms, Brussels sprout n sweet potato. Tuna melt tasted good n the portions were way generous. And so was the patty melt. Thank you for a great brunch. My go to place next time I'm in south side flats.

    I enjoy this spot a lot. It's always a great experience and the food is so good. Lots of indoor seating and there is also outdoor seating available. The server was good.

    The Speckled Egg is a local brunch restaurant that has two locations--this one in the South Side and another one in downtown. The menu lists foods such as quiches, toasts, pancakes, salads, and sandwiches. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available. My husband and I recently ate breakfast at this restaurant. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Orange juice - 4.5 stars - This orange juice tasted very fresh and contained some pulp. Chai latte - 5 stars - This chai latte had a delicious spicy flavor. Quiche for a Cause - 5 stars - My husband ate this quiche. It contained ham and potatoes. On the side was a salad, and my husband said that he really liked the in-house vinaigrette dressing. Please note that the ingredients are seasonal. Brown-Butter French Toast - 4.5 stars - Slices of French toast were topped with very sweet strawberry-cardamom jam, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and butter. Millennial Toast with Crab - 5 stars - This toast was topped with avocado and a generous amount of crab meat.

    Outstanding breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Really good food. Super friendly service. Nice, quiet part of the city

    Good breakfast the other morning - popped in during the handmade market. We easily got seats at the pretty bar. The service there was great - very attentive. My husband got the Rachel Ray - not sure why the name, but it's basically a Reuben w/ Turkey. He got it on marble rye. He wasn't super impressed, but it was tasty. I got the breakfast sando--- the 2 "broke yolks" weren't broke, but I like em runny. I added avocado. That was a nice addition, otherwise the sammie's a little low on flavor. Overall, though, it was breakfast. The vibe is a nice hipster chic. We didn't get coffee - but it seemed popular. We'll be back.

    This is such a cute brunch spot with lots of items on the menu, so if you like a variety then this is the place to go!! They also have a bar area with lots of alcoholic bevs as well. Their lox and loaded bagel was one of the best lox bagels I've had! It's def ez to make at home but I wanted to treat myself with a fancier version of it and this spot rlly hit it well. My friend got their grilled chicken biscuit and the chicken was super tender and crunchy. We came during a busy Sunday, but we got seated within 10 minutes and our server was super attentive and making sure we were satisfied with our food and service!

The place has a wide open and welcoming environment. Sure it gets busy, but you never feel without space to stretch out. The bowing, the games, and the slides are all great. Lots of fun. And tons of "free" stuff to do in there. I enjoy that you can bring in outside food. I wish that they had napkins or something for you, but not a big deal! The beer variety is great and the cocktails are pretty good. Can you tell I'm eager to get to the bad? It's the service. Mainly the bar service. This is a sample size of probably 10+ times being here and without a doubt, most of the bartenders are miserable, not polite, always act as if you are inconveniencing them. It's wild. It's not always the same person. I see new bartenders all the time there and without fail, they are really bad. The woman who was working the first floor main bar on Saturday 1/17 around 1:30pm was by far the worst. She was so bad that I'm at a breaking point and I need to avoid this place for awhile. Pins Mechanical - please fix this culture of bad service. It's a shame and unnecessary.

(Sitting at the bar is the best!) We started with Bartender's choice (which is always a good idea if you're at a specialty cocktail bar), and we both loved what we got! They made me a Juliet & Romeo, which was gin, cucumber, mint, etc. they made my fiancé a Safe Return, which was bourbon, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. (didn't write down the ingredients so can't remember it all lol) I also got the classic Last Word, which was great! They didn't include the maraschino cherry garnish which made me sad, but I lived lol. I also tried the Euro Trip from their specialty menu, and it was delicious and very spicy from the ginger. They also had their own barrel select of Knob Creek, which my fiancé tried - so cool! The bartenders were super chill and the ambiance was great! A little pricey but worth it.

While technically not a true speakeasy in the sense of hidden doors and secret codes, it is amazing. You do have to "look" for it. From the street not an easy spot. But you will be so glad you found it. True craft cocktails with knowledgeable, accessible staff. We had wonderful conversation and superb drinks. I am sorry to forget our bartenders name but she was a professional (I hope she enjoyed Detroit) Not a pretentious place, just good people.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.
