    Eggs, home fries, and hot sausage
    Larry P.

    We had a great breakfast at Deluca's. I had eggs, sausage, and home fries. Very good. My wife had raisin french toast. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was very good and I like the classic diner atmosphere there. We've been there several times and we've always been seated and served quickly. We'll be going back soon. You should try it!

    4.5 stars. DeLuca's Diner has two locations: this one in Robinson Township and another, original location in the Strip District. Both locations sell breakfast foods, sandwiches, salads, milkshakes, etc. Please see my attached photos for the menu in July 2024. In the past couple of years, my husband and I have been customers of this restaurant in Robinson several times. Our seating hostesses and waitresses have always promptly and courteously served us, so I rate them as 5 stars. Here are my reviews for the foods that we ate during our breakfasts and lunches: Egg's Benedict - 4 stars - My husband liked the taste of this eggs Benedict, but he said that it included a lot of sauce. The potatoes on the side tasted OK. Denver omelette - 4 stars - This omelette was a large size and was filled with ham, peppers, onions, and cheese. My husband seemed to like it, and he ate all of it. Banana-split crepe - 4 stars - This crepe contained fresh bananas, strawberries, blueberries, hot fudge, caramel, and pecans. The taste was very sweet. Malibu burger - 4 stars - This burger was very large, and it contained mushrooms, bacon, Swiss cheese, avocado, red peppers, and honey-mustard mayonnaise. Sweet-potato fries - 4.5 stars - These waffle fries were flavorful and crispy. Triple-decker turkey club sandwich - 5 stars - This sandwich was very tall and tasted DELICIOUS! The sourdough bread was perfectly buttered and toasted, and my husband and I greatly enjoyed the flavors of the turkey, crispy bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, and mayonnaise (no tomato at my husband's request). This sandwich is my husband's favorite go-to menu item. Banana-split waffle sundae - 5 stars - This large entree would usually contain hotcakes, but I replaced them with a blueberry waffle. The toppings were ice cream, bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, and walnuts. I enjoyed these fruity flavors very much. Tossed salad - 4 stars - This side salad contained fresh lettuce, cheese, etcetera. It was simple but good. Bacon - 5 stars - This bacon was cooked well and was perfectly crispy. Fruit bowl - 4 stars - I enjoyed the cantaloupe and blueberries, but the strawberries were a little too ripe. Strawberry milkshake - 5 stars - I liked the sweet flavor and the consistency of this milkshake. Chocolate milkshake - 5 stars - My husband drank all of this milkshake and seemed to enjoy it. Root-beer float - 5 stars - My husband drank this float, and he liked it. Cherry-lemonade soda - 5 stars - This soda was a unique and enjoyable combination of cherry and lemonade.

    Delucas never disappoints! Hearty portions, always filling, always delicious! A great omelet is always the way to start a day. Today, I got the Bionic Omelet, 6 Egg Omelet w/Sweet & Hot Sausage, Bacon, Ham, Onions, Cheddar, American & Provolone. Loved it, with a side of home fries, and Sourdough toast. If you love breakfast, this is the place!

    Deluca's is my "go to greasy spoon" breakfast joint when in the Pittsburgh area. This diner is located near the Robinson Town Centre with plenty of parking. There's another location at the Strip but we've only visited this site. The interior has your classic dinner atmosphere and there's usually a line to get in the door. That said, I've never waited longer than 15 minutes to be seated with parties of 4 or less. Staff are always on it, happy to give you their take on the menu and I've always enjoyed visiting with them. Deluca's is all about the omelets. There are various options and they are a little pricey ($10-$20) per plate depending on your selection. My go to is the banana pepper omelet with hot sausage. This thing is big, the sausage is delicious and I love their in-house enchilada sauce they spread over the omelet. This dish comes with home fries and Mancini's fresh baked bread (toast). Mancini's Bread Co. is another Pittsburgh staple that's worth checking out (try the pepperoni rolls). I've also enjoyed the country fried chicken and biscuits. On a recent visit my wife got a burger and it was huge. This place is Pittsburgh!

    We've stopped in numerous times for breakfast while in the Robinson Area and have been happy each time. Service is typically fast and friendly. You know what you're getting at a classic diner for lunch or all day breakfast. During our most recent stop we decided to try a couple different items from our usual picks. I had the corn beef hash breakfast. I would suggest to ask for it well done and crispy which upped the flavor ten fold. My son had the French Toast which was beautiful to look at but tough to cut through. A steak knife may have helped, but it was still a struggle. We will be back again but the classic pancakes will be back on the menu for us. Tip: If it's cold out, skip the first two booths if you can. When they open the door, it's a straight shot of cold air aimed at your table. We moved and so did a few other people while we were there.

    Pancake eggs and kielbasa. Apple waffle.
    Pablo M.

    Great experience. Funky diner with great service and good food. The local kielbasa was grilled perfectly and a nice surprise. It's touristy but there were locals there too. Will come again.

    While staying nearby I came here for breakfast to try one of their Mexican breakfast options... I asked the server which was best between the breakfast burrito and the huevos rancheros - she said it was a tough choice, but go with the burrito, which I did. I was sitting at the counter and could watch the kitchen work, which was nice... it was clean, they were in sync back there and though the restaurant was rather busy, being half packed, they were very quick to make my order, all very freshly made! When this thing cae out, it was HUGE! It was served on a platter! My comment about how big it was, was met with, "the MOAB - Mother of all Burritos is bigger!" WOW!! Good thing I went for the basic breakfast burrito then!! It tasted great! The flavor of their sauce on top was excellent and the refried beans inside really rounded out the flavors. They make it with any choice of proteins and I opted for their chorizo, which tasted like a nicely-done chili. I was full by the time I ate half, but I had a few more bites before giving up. Definitely would recommend stopping in here... This is one of the best breakfasts I've had in my many many visits to this area!

    Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich Breakfast

    My favorite Pittsburgh diner! Service is always friendly and quick. Food always hits the spot. Even on weekend mornings, I've never waited more than 20 minutes for a table. There's a counter if you're alone or in a pair. The decor is a classic retro diner (including red booths). Don't go here if you're expecting trendy ingredients or presentation - come hungry for delicious greasy diner food!

    Turkey sandwich
    Keith R.

    Omg...Super yummy. Super fast. Excellent service. Great teamwork but the entire staff. Very fair prices and very generous portions. It's a diner. It's fits the mold of a classic American dinner (in a strip mall). Absolutely will return. I understand they have more than just this location, and I hope they others are just as good.

    Great wall art mirrors their fantastic service!
    Lynnann W.

    This is a quintessential hometown Diner. It bustled with locals who know where to go for great affordable food and employees that treat you like one of their own. We were sat almost immediately despite how busy it was; they truly work hard. We ordered various omelettes with lots of sides included. Being from California, I got a puzzled look when I asked for salsa but Melinda didn't miss a beat and came out with some red sauce that worked perfectly. The plates were gigantic, the food appeared quickly, and the place has great atmosphere. It's just plain fun to be there. The price is right, the food tasted homemade delicious and our waitress Melinda was fantastic! I'm a Veteran and stories were shared about her own daughter in the Air Force. You come as a customer and leave like family. Highly recommend this place for an awesome Diner experience like days of old!

    Our stay at the Kimpton was completely overshadowed by an unacceptable experience that began the…read moremoment we arrived. When we pulled up to the hotel, we parked in an area that the front desk later confirmed was not valet parking and that we were fully permitted to use. Despite this, a man wearing a plain black shirt with no name tag, hotel logo, or other identification immediately approached us and aggressively demanded, "You need to give me your keys now." He never introduced himself, never identified himself as a hotel employee or valet attendant, and never welcomed us to the hotel. Instead, he immediately became confrontational. When I explained that I was not comfortable handing my vehicle keys to an unidentified stranger, he escalated the situation by repeatedly yelling, "Bro, bro, you're not going to disrespect me." We attempted to walk away and continue with check-in, but the harassment did not stop. After checking in, we returned outside to unload our luggage, and he immediately confronted us again. This time, he threatened that if I did not hand over my keys, "there would be consequences." No guest should ever be threatened simply for asking reasonable questions or wanting to verify the identity of someone requesting possession of their vehicle. The front desk staff later confirmed that we had parked in the correct location and acknowledged that this employee's behavior was inappropriate. While I appreciated their honesty, that did not change what had already occurred or the fact that the individual continued to work the front entrance. Unfortunately, the situation only worsened throughout the remainder of our stay. Every time we entered or exited the hotel, this valet employee continued making comments about my group to his coworkers. He would smirk, laugh, and make remarks within earshot of us, often in front of the front desk staff. Rather than feeling welcomed as paying guests, we felt uncomfortable and uneasy every time we walked through the lobby. The hostility that began upon our arrival never truly ended. As an IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite member who spends more than 200 nights each year almost exclusively at IHG properties, I have always chosen IHG because of the professionalism, hospitality, and consistency I have experienced across its brands. Unfortunately, this stay was unlike anything I have ever encountered. In all my years of traveling, I have never felt so disrespected, singled out, isolated, or unwelcome at a hotel. IHG promotes its hotels as places where every guest should feel safe, respected, and valued. That was not my experience at this property. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, I felt that our concerns were dismissed, and the behavior of this employee created an environment where we no longer felt comfortable. This was, without question, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. It has caused me to seriously reconsider my loyalty to IHG after spending hundreds of nights each year with the brand. I hope hotel management and IHG Corporate conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, address the conduct of the employee involved, and ensure that no future guest has to experience the same treatment we did.

He was courteous, well spoken and friendly. We sat there for about 10-12 minutes. No one approached the table. We looked over to what appeared to be a bar area and we saw two servers standing there talking and showing each other their phones. My wife said, "With our luck, one of those two is our server." Sure enough, when they were finally done talking, one came over to our table....no smile and a big audible sigh. She asked what we wanted to drink, we gave our order and she returned with our beverages. After another 10 minute wait she came back to take our order. When asked about a certain dish, came another big sigh, eye roll and and a rote description of said dish. The food arrived and one of the orders was wrong. Another wait to get her attention. We asked for the item to be redone as we had ordered it. And she even asked how we wanted it! You got it...another eye roll and a big sigh. At least she was well oxygenated! The dish came back with the very same results. On that issue we gave up. Then came the wait for the check. Once again the two servers were chatting, no heads turned to check on their tables. My son went over to get the check. When the check arrived, it was attitude city. She accused us of picking on her because she was only a server. It's obviously how she saw herself. We then asked for the manager who was quick to side with the server. She said that nothing seemed to satisfy us and that we had a problem. IN SHARP CONTRAST. I have been to the Speckled Egg on the South Side many times. From the Host/Hostess to the servers to the bus staff, everyone had a smile, chatted with their customers, laughed and it was always a great experience. The manager came over since he recognized me from being there many times and we chatted for a minute. We are talking Night and Day. Completely two different experiences from server to management styles. To me there is only one Speckled Egg and one complete waste of time (Downtown).

We stopped by this location of Pamela's and instantly, I felt like I was transported into a retro 50s/60s diner. The multi-colored walls are decorated heavily with old-school board games. There's a veil of grease in the air that screamed the classic diner experience. SAUSAGE & CHEESE OMELETTE + Lyonnaise potatoes (side) + whole wheat bread (toast) The sausage & cheese (we asked for Swiss instead of American) omelette itself wasn't anything worth raving about as it was pretty typical. However, the Lyonnaise potatoes were phenomenal. It's that in between "hash and mash" texture, and it was seasoned incredibly well. The potatoes were definitely the highlight here, and the omelette was good protein, I guess. Definitely forgot about the whole wheat bread. BLUEBERRY HOTCAKES Soft, crepe-like wrap (a bit thicker than crepe but thiner than pancake) wrapped around blueberries and whipped cream. This was not too sweet and quire savory. They're known for their hotcakes at Pamela's and I can see why. I don't remember the individual pricing for each, but both were under $25 total. Definitely great tasting food for a phenomenal price. I highly recommend!

    Great service. Really on top of things opening for a busy morning…read more Pancakes were as advertised - tasty, super thin with crispy edges. They were the highlight of the day. Eggs and toast were good too, straightforward. Meals were served very quickly, which was a great way to start the day.

    Cafe Moulin is without a doubt my absolute breakfast/brunch/lunch place in the area. The food is…read moreexcellent (their avocado toast w/ eggs is so good I practically lick the plate when I'm done) and the atmosphere immaculate (bright and friendly without being kitschy), but the real standout is the staff. I've been a regular there since I moved in nearby, and from the start it was obvious that the people who work there sincerely care about making the experience nice. I've always been greeted with a smile, even during hectic weekend hours when the whole place is packed with a line out the door-- and even on the most full-house days, I've never been made to feel rushed. More than that, I always get the same thing there (I'm just a creature of habit-- every bite I've ever stolen from a friend's plate has also been delectable). The staff have picked up on this and will offer to get me "my usual" when I visit; it makes me feel valued and noticed, and they'll often use the time I would've spent ordering making conversation, asking about my day or the book I'm reading. I've never been to a place with such genuinely friendly staff, and I feel so lucky to live so close! Summed up: I never leave Cafe Moulin without a full stomach and a smile.

    I'm conflicted about this review…read more Came in alone and sat at counter. A waitress was really hostile and aggressive to me early on . It was uncomfortable enough that I would have left , had my food not just arrived. The owner was around and seemed nice. This would have been a great experience were it not for the waitress being so unprofessional. If she'd apologized all would have been fine. Everyone has bad days or comes on too strong sometimes. The shakshouka was excellent though. I wish that I'd been more able to enjoy it, rather than leave feeling bad about myself.
