    Bloody Mary, well loved
    Rob J.

    I was in Pittsburgh for a few days to watch the Kings/Pens hockey game. This was a poppin breakfast spot. There was a wait for a table, but we got right in at the counter. I had the I Am...Kaazam! I added avocado and it would outstanding. I should have added one more slice of toast to balance it out. My hockey pal/drinking buddy had the Lox'd & Loaded. He said it was the best lox he's had. They said they make it in house. If you like hot sauce, ask for their pineapple version. It is almost clear, like it was distilled. It was a fabulous addition. For drinks, we had water. I had a mimosa and my pal had a bloody Mary. Drinking buddy even added the pineapple hot sauce to his drink. It was a great way to start the day before watching the Kings beat the Penguins.

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

    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.

    The interior was very metallic and millennial. I liked the big windows and we sat near them. Staff was lovely and helped us with our order. The drip coffee was a star. The goat omelette was really good but dry, it kind of was crumbling. Taste was great though. The hen's hash was weird-why did they put in brussel sprouts? And both yellow and sweet potatoes? It did not go together at all, but I think if they tweak it overall will be a star.

    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!

    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.

    Patty's Melt
    Rachel W.

    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!!!

    Hen's Hash, Iced Tea and a fruit cup!

    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)!

    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.

    3.5 stars. The Finch is a rooftop bar and restaurant that is named after the Joseph S. Finch &…read moreCompany's distillery that was located in the building in the late 1800s. The bar serves cocktails, wines, beers, and mocktails. For dinner and late-night bites, the restaurant focuses mostly on small plates and shareables, including charcuterie, chicken wings, pizzetta, steak, and salmon. They also have a Sunday brunch that serves lox bagel, shrimp and grits, French toast, mimosa, bloody Mary, etcetera. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The best aspect of The Finch was its beautiful views of downtown Pittsburgh's skyscrapers, Monongahela River, and subway trains. The foods and drink were a mixture of quality, and my husband called them "garbage" (eek!). Here are my ratings for them. Berry Mint Spritz - 4 stars - This mocktail (I could have ordered it with alcohol to turn it into a cocktail) contained strawberries, mint, lemon, syrup, and soda water. All of the flavor had settled on the bottom of the glass, so I could have used a straw to mix the drink, but I did enjoy the flavors. Summer Crab Cakes - 2 stars - I received two crab cakes, and they were some of the worst crab cakes that I have ever received anywhere. They contained too much breading and too little meat. I did not even like the flavor of the cherry tomatoes on the side. I usually love crab cakes, but with these ones, I could take only a couple of bites, and then I had the waitress throw away the rest. Hawaiian Pizzetta - 4 stars - This small pizza consisted of four slices that had cheese but no gooey cheese-pull. Other toppings were BBQ sauce drizzle, pineapple, ham, and red pepper. I thought that it tasted good. Ember Steak Skewers - 4 stars - My husband said that the steak was not the highest quality. At least the chunks of steak, peppers, onions, and mushroom (we counted one piece of mushroom!) were marinated and seasoned nicely. The total cost for this one mocktail, three foods, and one soda was $79 *plus* a 3% credit-card surcharge, tax, and a minimum tip of 18%. We asked the waitress for a receipt, but she did not bring us one, so we walked up to her to ask for it again, and we did receive it.

Our 8yo had the margherita pizza-- she enjoyed it, didnt complain about any burnt-ness on the crust-- phew! For cocktails, husb had the Midnight Library & he loved it. A very balanced tart & sweet drink. I had my cosmo- it's usually a hit or miss but this was one of the best from this bartender-- I hope she's always there. For meals: husband ordered the smash burger- he said it was moist& juicy-- it wasn't weighed down w/ so much meat. I had the Library Steakhouse sandwich-- sooooo good!! The steak wasnt tough thank goodness & I felt the horseradish go through all my sinuses-- they could've lessened it a bit on the s/w but overall great w/ the caramelized onions & the pepper sauce. I will order this again. In the past we've tried all the pizzas ((except buff)) & I'll say they ARE good, seconded by the hubby. Our go to for date night- cocktails & a pizza.. you can't beat that! I've tried The Great Gatsby cocktail, Black Beauty, Atmosphere, lookin' to try Curious George next. They were all great!! Husb has tried The Catcher in the Rye, War & Peace, Bridgerton& he gives positive reviews, but he still sticks to Midnight Library. Also, they have happy hr Mon-Fri: 4-7p. Great place, must come.

I got a side of Caesar which was just what I needed. For my entree, I got the craft blend smash burger and truffle fries, which were absolutely delish. My second drink was the Heated Rivalry (rum, strawberry puree, lime, hot honey, simple syrup) which was unfortunately a little too sweet for my liking, but still refreshing. Incredible name though! Overall I'm impressed! Two of my friends got pizza, and one got the steak frites, and it all looked so good and they were satisfied! Loved the book decor/dark library aesthetic so much. Our server was really sweet and on top of everything.
