Found this place passing by; the Steak bagel was amazing & one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had!

I ordered off of Grub Hub and the food was just ok. I had the sausage wrapped in French toast. What i was hoping for and what I got were two different things. The sausages were tiny and the toast was tasteless. I had to drown it in syrup to tolerate it. I also had a side of home fries, which were pretty good. I wouldn't recommend my order, but i might give it another shot...just a different meal. read more

Best breakfast sandwich I've had in a while. Place is small and quaint, everyone is very nice, and they play great music. Food took a little while, but that's about the only complaint I can think of. Highly recommend making the trek up the hill for this one. read more

Great place for breakfast as long as you aren't picky about how your eggs are cooked. Asked for sunny side up and got over hard, then asked for a replacement of sunny side up eggs and got over easy. Wasn't even busy in there. But the food itself was good. I've tried multiple sandwiches there, all great. Try anything on a Dutch crunch roll and you won't be disappointed. read more

Those three French toast roll ups for $8.50, each roll is smaller (slightly) than a 7-11 taquito. Plus mine didn't come with powdered sugar. I also got a veggie omelette ($10) and two or three cuts of veggies were still raw. The veggies weren't embedded in to the egg at all (you could take all the veggies out of the omelette while keeping the omelette completely intact) so everything would just fall out. The potatoes weren't seasoned. The white toast was good thankfully. This place wasn't bad, food is still edible and decent. I just expected more for $18.50 read more

The atmosphere is retro-darling, clean and attentive. The food is great and they keep your coffee filled. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Ridiculously long wait times for delivery app orders. I recommend customers don't order from here if they want their food in a timely manner. I've informed with Uber Eats that this is a consistent problem with this restaurant. Zero sense of urgency. read more

This wasn't just the best breakfast, but the BEST meal we've had period in such a long time. We got a bacon breakfast burrito, a hot sausage egg dish that had homefries(THE BEST HOMEFRIES) mixed in, french toast breakfast sausage wraps and of course 1 pancake. The homemade mango salsa for the burrito was absolutely delicious. I can not wait to order from here again, that's how much we loved it. This made our lockdown so much better and put smiles on our faces. Thank you Stacey's!!! read more

We stumbled on this out of the way place. It was really nice with friendly staff and patrons. Food was good too. read more

Absolutely the best home fries of anywhere we have tried! Great service and food. PS - we have been in here many Sunday's and have seen app orders ready, waiting for pickup by drivers that are running behind - not Shelly's fault for long delivery time read more

The food was so good! The pancakes are light and pair perfectly with the combo breakfasts. Today's special was cheesy grits with bacon and they were awesome. Not much seating, though. Definitely not suited for parties bigger than 4. There's one table that looks like it would fit 8 but it's tight. And don't forget cash only! read more

Breakfast was phenomenal. Service was great. The omelet was made to perfection with the peppers being fresh. The home fries were something to write home about! read more

I tried this place today and wasn't sure how it was gonna be but glad I did, this place isn't anything fancy or even true to be its a nice little diner with a nice full deli, nice to see small businesses in the area and seems to do very well. I had the breakfast burrito with a choice of meat inside it was huge, very good. Nice service and I will definitely return to try other items so hard to choose the first time there. read more

Extremely SLOW SERVICE (((. Kitchen received order 40 min ago and it's still not ready . Won't come back to this place

Food is great, and the waitress service leaves you smiling the entire time and beyond. Great menu, fresh, delicious food. If you're in the area, don't pass this one up. read more

This is a GREAT little place for breakfast! Breakfast at Shelly's has great food and at a great price. When i was there the music was great and Shelly was awesome! This is my new favorite breakfast spot! The only downside, if this is one, is that it is cash only but they have an ATM on the premises. read more

Food is a great and the atmosphere is pleasant. The real story is the owner, who works waiting tables and makes everyone feel welcome. Awesome place for breakfast and I will certainly be back again. read more

Shelly's is a great neighborhood diner with good, straightforward breakfast food. There's also a lunch menu, butI haven't checked it out yet. As a bonus, pick up some soup or lunchmeat on your way out at the deli! read more

Great owner ! Great service !! You gotta love small family oriented breakfast spots, and Shelly's is definitely one of these paces !

I ordered breakfast through a mobile ordering app after being tempted for several days now. I ordered pancakes (3 come in an order) and a sausage omelette that came with home fries and toast. The order was still at a nice temperature and fresh. The pancakes were excellent! The syrup they serve goes nicely with them too. The omelette was good. I didn't like the sausage used so next time I would probably just get a cheese omelette. Toast comes dry, not pre buttered like other places do and the home fries were tasty. Pretty nice breakfast overall and close to home! read more

Ordered breakfast.....cream cheese was expired and smelled terrible. The grits were very bland and tasted more like cornmeal. They also were not hot or even warm. The French toast - said was Texas toast - but was very thin and floppy. The breakfast burrito's ends were hard and crumbly like the burrito was old and not fresh. Spent almost $50 and was disappointed. I would not recommend this place. read more

I came here with a few friends for breakfast on a Friday and though it's not in the most "tourist-y" area, it was a pleasant experience! We seated ourselves and were greeted immediately. Our drinks were brought to us in a timely manner and shortly after ordering, our delicious breakfast arrived! I personally think you can never go wrong with breakfast because it's the most important and BEST meal of the day.. Anyway, the food was delicious. Tasted fresh and we were served pretty big portions! You definitely get bang for your buck here. There was parking along the street outside. They accept cash only though! There's an ATM inside but make sure you bring some cash so you don't get charged the service fee. read more

Scenario: you woke up, belly's rumblin', your fridge is empty and cupboard is out of coffee. You really only have one choice, Shelly's. Best breakfast in the city, situated in historic Allentown. But don't take my word for it, try it yourself and become a believer. read more

Food was excellent. Service was exceptional. The decor and feel of the restaurant. Reflected a charming 50's diner. The location was not the best, but overall it was a pleasant experience. Would definitely visit again, but probably won't. read more

The breakfast was excellent. My cheese omelette was done just right and everything else was quite pleasantly satisfying to my tastebuds :)

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.My husband and I make a point to eat there at least once a week. You can always tell when a person loves what they chose to do in life. It shows in the absolutely delicious food served at Shellys. The people who work there are delightful. It's a new business, they even offer half price meals for police officers. Their prices are already low. Please come in and have the best breakfast/ lunch money can buy. Then tell your friends.Cash only at this time. read more

Terrible, ordered this off of grub hub and ordered the protein packer and calis breakfast sandwich. Calis sandwich was not a sandwich they just threw all the ingredients into the box. The protein packed had barely any chicken and was very small for the price. Would not order from here again. I could have made this better. read more

Went there last week with a friend and was at first wondering if the place was open.i guess they're still finding they're place.the service was great ,very friendly waitresses who told us it was pretty much a family affair as far as the workers.i ordered a burger which was the special for 7.00.My burger was great ,juicy and seven on what they call a Dutch roll (I think)to me it was a cibatta bread roll and was great.Fresh cut fries were ok.My friend had a steak hoagie and fries,he said was excellent.i couldn't believe the place was empty.Someone did pickup a to go order and didn't bother to tip by the way.I suggested they maybe open earlier for breakfast and promote to the potential customers at the nearby police station and port authority garage.I will go back soon and often read more

Great diner! Food tastes fresh and portions are large. They have a basic breakfast and lunch menu that they do very well (instead of a huge menu where everything is so-so), but the gold star goes to their breakfast burritos. Huge and packed with good stuff! Prices are very reasonable and staff is friendly, but not hovering. It's never been super-busy when we've been there. It looks like they've made some improvements to the dining area since last time we were in - it seemed a lot brighter. The neighborhood is undergoing a bit of revitalization, but don't let that keep you away. It's just a few minutes off Route 51 or Arlington Ave and located on a main road. Parking is very close and easy on the side streets. There's a good mix of locals, but you don't get that "outsider" feeling. Really hope this place stays around for awhile. read more

We came for a late lunch in a Saturday. It was recommended to me by the barista at Black Forge Coffee, who is also a server at Shellys. The building has a great feel, definitely not fancy, but very comfortable and clean. All of our food was very good, and fairly priced. We will be returning here. read more

My husband and I stopped after church this past Sunday. It was the first time for us since it became Shelly's. The restaurant was clean, the food is very good and the people that work there are friendly and helpful. Oh, and the price is right too! We will be going back for sure! read more

Attempted to order takeout today at 2:40 and was told they were closed after walking in the front door. The door was unlocked and the sign on the door says they close at 3:00pm. Will not be coming back here since they do not want the business. read more

I just had to review Breakfast at Shelly's...first of all I have never been to this neighborhood in my whole life...there was plenty of parking around so that made it easy. So we got there and, although it took a little while to get drinks and to order, it was made up for 10 times over by the food! I had a huge breakfast which was incredible and my son did as well, and he said the spicy sausage was one of the best he has ever had. Our waitress may have been new and we didn't mind...she was polite and welcoming. I will go back for sure! read more

My husband and I quickly became regulars at this joint. I think we've had most of the items on the menu. Being a breakfast and lunch diner, they became a weekend destination. It has a very friendly atmosphere and normally has something funny on the board outside. There is normally a ton of parking on the street and if there is not, there is a parking lot a block or so down. That area of the city is quickly changing with some little stores so go have some breakfast or lunch and walk around a bit. Remember, they are cash only still. read more

Great spot for a delicious, affordable and filling meal! I go at least a couple times a month, and my favorites are the breakfast burrito, spinach and feta omelet or chicken quesadilla. If the kitchen runs a Reuben special you should not pass it up, they have the best around. The home fries and french fries are fresh, not frozen, and you can tell. The staff is friendly and will get to know your name and order, which is totally my kind of place! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in today for breakfast and this was our first time here and definitely will not be our last! And it started off with a very rude and irate customer that was upset for no reason at all and probably just wanted to make a scene so she got her bill comped. The staff handled it perfectly and after the episode the manager came out to apologize even tho there was no reason to but I respected that very much! Our waitress was verbally assaulted by this women but took our order right after and she was so sweet and I felt bad she had to deal with that! She seemed to take her job and customer service very serious and I could tell she was effected by the rudeness of the customer. Hats off to the staff, manager and waitress and you have a life long customer now:) oh and by the way, it was the best breakfast food I've had in years and best home fries I ever had be back very soon read more

When I walked into this place I thought I was sent back in time. It reminded me of all the small luncheonettes and diners I remembered growing up in N.Y. (only bigger). I wound up owning my own luncheonette for 9.5 years. The breakfast my family and I had was wonderful. Fresh ground Columbian coffee was a nice start. All the eggs and omelets we had were cooked just the way we asked for them. Very nice portions and the waitress was AWESOME. Every time I go back to Pitt this will be my breakfast spot. read more

Stop for lunch during work service was horrible and after waiting 35 mins on my break the server came up to me and said the cook lost the order so I get to wait until night time to eat today. :) read more

The food was bad. The restaurant was cold. The wait was long. We arrived at about 11:00am on a Thursday. There were 2 other people there who had walked in moment before us. My fiancée ordered a waffle and one egg scrambled. I ordered their Special #2 ( 2 eggs over easy; home fries; bacon; toast). It took about 25 minutes to get our food.The waffle was burnt on the bottom. Like literally black, no exaggeration. The top wasn't burnt it was sprinkled with powdered sugar and looked amazing. But he took a bite and it tasted like it was burnt and it was...SMH. Like why would you still serve this, just remake it. The egg was subpar. My eggs over easy cake out over cooked, not even eggs over medium consistency like completely cooked through..SMH. The bacon was good (you can't really mess up bacon..IJS). The home fries not good at all. Maybe this is a Pittsburgh dish and it's an acquired taste but if not then these were just down right nasty. Then to top it all off I threw up after eating the edibles parts of this dish. Eat at your own risk. There was quite a bit of traffic around 12 so maybe this is an acquired taste but me and my Midwest- tastebuds do not agree with this place. The one star is for the easy parking and the cheap prices (13 bucks for everything listed above). read more
