It's not like I was looking for a greasy spoon, but the weather was so frosty and my energy level…read morediminished by a long day of driving in the Laurel Highlands, that this became a convenient dining stop close to my hotel. It was a typical retro-vintage stop inside, and I was forewarned by the veteran waitress they were open only for the next half-hour. I reassured her I was not planning to stay long. It must've been the end of a long shift for her because she was grumbling to the busboy about the other waitress who decided to leave early. This other woman, clearly the 'Kiss Mah Grits' type, alienated me by calling me Mr. Miyagi and cackling about it to the rest of the staff. I thought I might be expected to recite lines from "The Karate Kid". Instead I ordered the $11.25 Grilled Meatloaf Melt, which came with quite a slice covered in fried onions and melted Swiss cheese barely held together by the toasted rye bread. It was on the greasy side, and the fries were dried out (Photo 10). What would Mr. Miyagi say? FOOD - 3 stars...meatloaf and fries on the middling side AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...classic diner with naugahyde SERVICE - 3 stars...a step back in time TOTAL - 3 stars...if you're in the mood for a greasy spoon RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

A delicious return visit…read more I'd eaten at Pamela's before and was thrilled to go back, and it was as good as I remember. I was taken care of by Colleen and she was lovely. Kept the drink full, had good recommendations, and was nit overly attentive, just like I like it. I had the Tex-Mex Omelet and goodness the chorizo was delicious I almost ordered a second one. It also came out so fast, the kitchen was on fire. I can't wait to go back again.

Walked in for brunch, the place appears to be busy but it has plenty of sitting area to accompany…read morebig groups. It also has outside seating. Parking was challenging, this was in the strip district so it's a busy area and it's always pay parking. It is also across the TERMINAL which is the huge strip of food court. We were seated right away, staff was friendly and orders came in quick. We tried the Pittsburgh Hash and Corned beef Hash and a side of their crepe style hotcakes. The hashes were decent, but its overwhelmingly loaded with potatoes and my Pittsburgh hash little meat. The hotcakes were good, thin with crispy edges. The other thing though was our server only checked up on us once and never refilled our coffee.. Still happy tummy..

By the way, when I say no-nonsense, it's no joke...food is served on paper plates. This beer & shot dive bar is as old school Pittsburgh as you can get. Service is no-nonsense, old school, and good.

My wife and I were clearing out of town after an excellent first visit to Pittsburgh. We needed the…read moreperfect place to fill up before a day of driving. I had mentioned a nearby diner to a fan I met at the game the night before and he scoffed at me and told me all about DeLuca's. He was passionate about the hot sausage and the griddle toasted Italian bread and I knew we would give it a shot! Turns out, he was absolutely right! DeLuca's is exactly what I'm looking for in a diner! Old school place, seating was comfortable, and our waitress made us feel right at home! I went with the Steel City and that included everything! Pancakes (which our lovely waitress added complimentary bananas to), hot sausage, bacon, home fries, eggs, and Italian bread toast. Everything was cooked perfectly! Hot sausage and eggs made a perfect sandwich on that bread! My wife had a delicious omelette. Such a wonderful send off from Pittsburgh!

The service is fun and pleasant, the surrounding is just like a diner…read moreshould ever be....loud, fun, fast paced, neighborhood feel and good people watching.... lol you name it- it's HERE. My first time was on a busy weekend, and my second time is during the week. Both times we have the same waitress, and each time she was delighting, funny, and head stories. That's what I love about this awesome nostalgic diner. If you're in the strip district, you must come and visit!!!

Came for breakfast on a Friday. Not too busy and service was great!…read more Got the salmon toast and it was delicious. Everything on the menu looked great. Would love to come back.

Very disappointed with my experience at Upstreet Diner. I ordered the "El Turco" omelet platter…read moreexpecting an actual chorizo omelet, but instead got what was basically a red pepper paste with tiny traces of meat. There was no real chorizo or actual meat in the omelet at all. I even asked if they forgot the chorizo, and they told me it was "under the avocado." They brought out a small extra side, and that's when I realized they considered that red paste with barely any meat to be the chorizo. Overall, a very mediocre plate and not what was advertised or expected. I don't think I'll be eating here again, and if I do, I definitely won't order this again.

There's a parking lot just down the block, so you don't have to park on the street. Be aware that they're CASH ONLY. I haven't heard of that in a restaurant - especially post-pandemic. Fortunately, my dad noticed that on their website.

Joe's Rusty Nail knows how to do breakfast right! We stopped by last Saturday, and the food was…read morefantastic, but the real star of the show was Bonnie. She was on top of everything, keeping our drinks full, checking in at just the right moments, and making us feel truly welcome. Service like that is rare! I had a little bit of everything breakfast wise, and it was all phenomenal, hearty portions, great prices, and full of flavor. Plus, we even got to sit in Mr. McFeely's legendary seat! I do have to go back and try the Reuben because I saw a number of people eating it and it looked really good. Some diners are slipping, but not Joe's Rusty Nail! If you want great food, great vibes and amazing service, go see Bonnie at ajoes crusty Nail, you won't regret it!

Wow - what an absolute hidden gem! This place is such an incredible little find in the Northside…read moreand honestly feels like stepping into another era in the best possible way. From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was so charming and nostalgic, right down to the unbelievably reasonable prices. It's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and keeps you entertained the entire time you're there. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away with coffee and water while we looked over the menu. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the food being prepared right in front of us - the entire vibe of the room felt lively, authentic, and honestly hilarious at times. Between the conversations, the energy behind the counter, and the overall ambiance, it genuinely felt like dinner and a comedy show wrapped into one. We ordered the vegetable omelet and the pancake special, and both came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and comforting in the way classic breakfast spots should. You can tell this place has character, heart, and a loyal following for a reason. This is truly one of those spots that deserves way more attention and is 100% worth stopping into if you're in the area. And if you're a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you definitely need to check this place out!
