Finally off the road and ready to explore new parts of Pittsburgh! This was as good of a breakfast as I've ever had! Legit not a bad bite on the plate, the hot sausage wasn't some unfrozen lifeless link, it was super tasty. The waiter was hilarious and on everything, and the inside of the spot was friendly and nice looking. Seemed like everyone knew each other. 10/10 will be back. read more

We love Breakfast at Shelly's. Just the place you want to go and enjoy breakfast lunch or brunch. We like to sit right at the counter and enjoy some great food and hot coffee FYI bathroom is downstairs- old school convenient location, on street parking read more

Got really lucky and had this place recommended to my hubs and I the other night (by the amazing bartenders at the super cool Bottle Rocket Social Hall) - for the wonderful Allentown Night Market. They opened for the 1st time for the market. The place is on the main drag and a bit quirky inside - there appear to be far fewer tables than the place could hold with huge open floor space near the front. We grabbed a couple stools at the old fashioned counter. The servers are such a treat here! Kathy waited on us and kept us entertained the entire time! She felt like a friend by the time we left. Her niece is the manager - and equally fun. It's a family atmosphere. We decided to get a Rachel (me) & a Reuben (hubs). Mine was in Texas toast (no calories spared! ) with a good amount of deli turkey and a mild sauce. My husband declared the Reuben "good, though I wouldn't rush back to get another." (He's kind of a Reuben aficionado!). But the real star on both our plates was the *fresh* real French fries. (Mine were a wee bit undercooked for me - but still good!); the potato-y taste quite yummy. We'll definitely be back for breakfast!! read more

I ordered this for delivery, so I cannot speak on the service or inside of the establishment. BUT, the Hot Sausage Breakfast Sandwich was phenomenal! The sausage is some of the best I've had. Fresh with lots of flavor. The home fries were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The star of the show for me was the dutch crunch roll. Soooo soft & fluffy! Delicious! read more

Amazing neighborhood diner with an old-school feel. Food was delicious and service was great. I got Cali's Delight I believe it was called, which was a breakfast sandwich with french toast as the bread. The home fries were amazing and everything was super affordable. We loved it and will definitely be returning. read more

service was great! food was good and decent price. definitely recommend and will return. Was decorated cute for valentine's day.

My wife & I were pleased w our order and the wait staff were friendly. The meals were tasty and came quickly. Diner-like motif.

I loved everything I saw when I walked in but after an hour and a half of waiting for my food, watching people come and go long after I had arrived and ordered, it became too much and I can't give them the review I wanted to. An hour and a half to make breakfast food?! Seriously?! It was not by any means busy but how long does it take to cook bacon seriously? I wasn't even going to write this review but when other customers came up to me asking if I was STILL waiting, I felt like that was a sign. The reason for 2 stars is because when I did eat the bacon I ordered, it was actually decent. read more

Everything about this place is great. Delicious home fries and omelette for $10. Service was superb. Bathrooms are However Down a long steep staircase. Street parking only. It a classic diner Kind of feel. Food came quick and Perfect, despite a fairly good sized crowd on a Saturday around noon. Pubes on men's bathroom sink was slightly disturbing. Although I assume it was a customer. I used the bathroom before I ate and after I ate and they were there the whole time. I also think people are smoking in the bathrooms, again I'm assuming these are customers that don't have the highest respect for other people. I would definitely eat here again though. And yes, I washed my hands both times I used the bathroom before I walked out of it. read more

Absolutely our favorite place to hit every-time we come into town. We live in WV and talk about this place all the time and how we wish we could visit more. The service was great. Food spot on per usual. Love the whole vibe they have going on there read more

We are from Indianapolis and this breakfast spot did not disappoint. The service was super friendly and fast, and the food was SOOO good. The menu prices are VERY affordable as well. The loaded home fries were my favorite. The old style diner vibe was cute too. read more

What a great find, Dana's daughter dis a Door Dash a couple of weeks ago and loved the food. Today stopped by on the way back from dropping of people at airport. Street parking out front and truly a diner atmosphere with red stools around bar eating and tables along the wall. I had Carnivore Omelette and home fries, & coffee - $14.99 - outstanding. A must go to if you love diner food done right Only open til 2:45 daily. read more

The best breakfast experience ever! Food was great. Shelley and Kathy are rockstars!!!

We are in town for a family trip to see the Steelers and pigeons. We searched for a couple hours to find breakfast and found this gem. Kathy was awesome and the food was great. This was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this spot. You can't do wrong with this place. Thank you so much Kathy for the great experience. read more

I discovered this spot during the pandemic & it quickly became my go to. I'd order to-go nearly daily and the staff even had my order memorized when they recognized my voice over the phone. It's a lost gem in Pittsburgh's breakfast scene and deserves so much more credit. The staff is so kind and attentive. Their to-go orders are just as fabulous as their dine in orders, which is a huge plus in my opinion. Fair prices for awesome food! read more

Went here for breakfast with little sister. There were no seats left so we ordered take out. Was told it would take 15 minutes, we waited an hour. Also $3.00 if you order take out then decide to dine is is ridiculous. I understand if kitchen is backed up, I've worked in restaurants my entire life but at least tell us it'll be a little bit longer. No one said anything the entire time we waited. Don't recommend. read more

So. FREAKING. Good!!! I'm normally really not a fan of getting breakfast delivered, but this was awesome! Just so good, delivered on time, good price for the portion sizes, etc. read more

Breakfast At Shelly's - Bacon egg Bacon Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Another hidden treasures on the Hilltop! Every meal feels like it's made with love. You can sit at the classic dinner counter and watch an early Steelers game on Sundays or just enjoy quiet company in a booth. I've never had a bad meal at Shelly's. The French toast roll-ups are to die for and if you add a side of cheesy grits, your taste buds won't regret it. The breakfast burrito is an easy favorite of mine. Street parking is pretty easy and the staff makes you feel like family. Just remember to bring cash, this place is cash only but they do have an ATM on site. Extra trip: always ask about the daily specials and don't forget it's BYOB! read more

The food was good. We got the French toast roll ups, steak sandwich, peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes, and breakfast burritos. The portion was generous and prices really reasonable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The only thing is it took really long before we got our food. They're definitely understaffed. We went sat morning and it wasn't super crowded. There is also a greasy smell at the place. I would consider coming back if I lived closer. The food was good but it wasn't good enough to make the trek up the slopes. read more

What a nice place ! Food was great ! The staff was so fun ! Personable and welcoming. We will be back

POOR! In every respect. Was cold and snowing, beautiful sight outside we were able to watch from the window. Were seated closest to the door and farthest from their kitchen area. Food was average for a breakfast diner, service was horrible from the server, a black haired rather tall lady. Had to ask six separate times for coffee, Sweet and Low, napkins and sour cream. Once she brought the check it took forever for her to process payment. Not returning ever. There are plenty diners in Pittsburgh. Most are great...Eggs R Us on Noblestown Rd is superior. In food and service. Lindo's is unbeatable! Why go to Shelly's? read more

This gives a really local, down-to-earth diner feel. Not the place if you want something fancy or upscale for the environment. However, if you're looking for a low-key place, this is for you! The quality of food is higher than the price. The food is excellent and very well priced. My friend and I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage. The homefries on the side are awesome - super filling and savory. Only a docked star because wait is a little long and seems to be understaffed. The restaurant isn't super clean. read more

Old school diner vibe. When we went there were not a lot of people so it was an easy in and out. The food was great and the staff were friendly. Great home fries. Definitely recommend. read more

Breakfast was phenomenal! Service was great! Portions were huge! Highly recommend! Keep up the good work!

My fiancé and I stopped at Breakfast at Shelly's Sunday morning around 10am. Much to our surprise, the place was empty! It quickly became clear that they do a lot of business through grubhub. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with hot sausage and home fries (my go to) and my fiancé ordered the standard #2 (2 eggs over easy, sausage, home fries, and toast). The sandwich came on a Dutch crunch bun which was delish. The sausage wasn't your standard patty or link, it was hand formed and grilled to perfection. Neither the fried egg nor the sausage was overly greasy which made the sandwich that much better. The home fries were cooked nicely with a seasoning blend that sets them apart from all the other diners. Overall, the only thing lacking was that diner "feel." We will likely return! read more

This place is awesome. Solid and delicious breakfasts - we had only used delivery and finally came in for dine in and YES! Super classic diner. Awesome owner. Had a veggie scramble with an everything bagel. My husband had a chicken sandwich and liked it lots. I think they are unrecognized because there's not a ton of foot traffic but this place should be PACKED on the weekends. Will be back! read more

Wonderful place! The staff were very friendly and the food came out quickly. I ordered the spinach, feta, and tomato omelette it was delicious! read more

I had breakfast with Shelly's on my visit to Pittsburgh this time around. Am sure Pamela will be upset when she reads this, but you gotta do what makes you happy. This is a new business at a location that previously housed a dinner for decades. The interiors are unassuming and call out Steelers only, but the owner and servers are really very friendly. There are tables for large groups and comfy bar stools. I ordered spinach feta tomato omelette, they delivered exactly what it says, nothin more nothin less. The portion sizes are right and the food is not as greasy as the other more popular spots. The home fries are probably how I would make them at my home. Do bring cash as they do not accept cards here. Touchdown for me...definitely would come singing for the potato and omelette ...brown and yellow, brown and yellow, brown and yellow read more

Breakfast At Shelly's - Great omelette ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

i called at 10. i got 1 omelette w/ home fries. they said 10 minutes. i get there 10 min later & wait inside for 30 min all the while there's really not that many people in there at all. :/ the food looks good in the photos but it's pretty bland. not coming here again. thought it would be a quick cheap option but it was more trouble than it was worth. BUT! on my way home i found a free trampoline on the side of the road which was great - hence the 2 stars lol read more

Don't let the location discourage you, during the daytime anyways. :) Does very well for all of your standard diner fare, not anything as far as especially appetizing ingredients at least on the breakfast items. read more

The hot breath omelet lives up to its name. The hot sausage is made in house and you can definitely tell. The toast options were a little disappointing (no Italian and all bagged bread), but I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a greasy diner option for breakfast. read more
