    As a Pittsburgh native, every trip back home means a guaranteed stop at Gab & Eat- a true must for breakfast and beyond. Carrie, along with the incredible team of Dallas, Chef Mike (now retired pictured middle in orange shirt), Suzy and Abby consistently go above and beyond, delivering not just fantastic food, but an experience that feels like family. This place is a community staple, where home-style atmosphere makes every visit unforgettable. Thank you all for the incredible memories- seeing our NB sticker on the vent and 2019 family picture on your wall was simply awesome. You all are the best.

    My friend and I went to this place as I was visiting her in Pittsburgh. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how small and congested it was. We were placed in a booth in the very back of the establishment. Everyone who had to go to the bathroom walked by our table. (Very close.) We each watched as people were seated and served as we waited and waited and waited. We were frequently asked if we wanted drink refills while waiting. We were finally served almost 45 minutes or more after being seated. It seemed like a long wait for some scrambled eggs, potatoes and toast. There didn't seem to be so many people there to warrant the wait either. (It was a Saturday so maybe they were busier than usual.) I ordered a "mixed grill" with side of raisin toast. The food was hot and tasted pretty good.

    Good breakfast.

    I don't get here often enough. I was treated by a pleasant waitress that told me to sit wherever I wanted. I was waited on promptly & my food was delivered piping hot. Bacon wasn't much of a flavor but I loved it all. For the cost to oh so get a lot of food. I never seen my waitress again until she dropped the check. I did need more tea for awhile but another waitress noticed & got me refilled. As a single diner I felt comfortable too.

    Was in the area and was in the mood for breakfast. Gab & Eat was highly recommended on Yelp. I decide to give it a shot. The staff where super friendly and very nice and super efficient. I ordered 2 eggs over easy, bacon & home fries and white toast. The eggs where a bit runny ad the bacon not cooked enough and the toast had way too much butter on it. Although the food was just ok the service was outstanding. The waitress was super efficient asked how meal was obviously I lied. Also she stayed on top of each person she was taking care of. That is definitely one of the key things that I review when eating somewhere is the service. The food did taste ok but normally i would give it 2-3 stars the service was definitely 5 stars all the way. It was tough decision but give them 4 stars overall and if in the area I would go again.

    Home fries and scrambled eggs with cheese

    Their website says "like Cheers without the alcohol" and that is exactly how I felt when I sat down at the counter. The waitstaff knew all the morning regulars and their menu is beautiful in its simplicity. It is an older-style diner atmosphere the walls practically covered in art, stickers, posters, plaques, you name it. You'll feel at home here!

    Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel with a side of breakfast potatoes
    J E.

    I stopped in for breakfast on a weekday, around 7AM and they were moderately busy. It's the typical diner style joint in a plaza here in the Pittsburgh area. They offer great service (with a smile), keep your coffee topped off, and they have all the usual suspects on their breakfast menu. Their bacon, egg and cheese bagel was excellent! I got it with tomato and it came out perfect, with a large slab of egg on it and perfectly cooked bacon. Their breakfast potatoes are just OK, they need to be seasoned to make them taste decent. I'd definitely return for breakfast!

    Looked at several Yelp reviews for breakfast and luckily stumbled upon this place. It is located on a strip mall. Plenty of parking available. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and you get bang for your buck! I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted bagel with a side of home fries! My husband ordered the homemade hot sausage with toast and two eggs. We both enjoyed our breakfast. Lunch is also available here.

    Poor Boy, onion rings and Hot Italian
    Aja J.

    My mom gets very excited when she has a restaurant recommendation based on something she heard on Pittsburgh Today Live. Yesterday's lunch rec is thanks to Celina Pompeani, and it's a BIG thank you. Gab & Eat doesn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as I stepped inside, I could tell the food was going to be good. Nothing fancy here, but kind service, quick food, and a cheap bill. I ordered the Poor Boy - a steak/cheese/egg sandwich with the freshest lettuce I've seen in a restaurant. Mumsie ordered the Hot Italian (no comment) and she was equally enamored. We shared an order of onion rings -- the best onion rings I think I've EVER had (hot tip - order the half size. The whole size is CRAZY big), and left with a $26 bill, including tip. Gab & Eat is only open for breakfast/lunch, so do yourself a favor and work it into your workday. You can thank me (and Celina) later.

    Steak n eggs added bacon
    Ken L.

    Very popular and crowded greasy spoon joint that has been around for a long time. Nothing much to complain about here as they have solid breakfast with just a time or I had some undercooked potatoes (home fries) but not a big deal. It is a seat yourself style unless someone is waiting. I normally order the steak and eggs and it is satisfactory for the price. Bacon is thick, english muffin buttery, eggs cooked to order. Service is speedy and efficient.

    Jessica L.

    Friendly staff and pretty good food. We were told we could seat ourselves, we sat down and soon we were greeted and offered waters. The table itself had different local companies - giving a true mom and pop ambiance. Even though the bacon tasted like the grill needs to be cleaned and I personally didn't care for the potatoes, the homemade sausage was great, the eggs were alright and the toast was perfect! I will be honest, I'm picky but my friend ate every bite!

    Mushroom and Swiss omelette
    Katie R.

    We loved this place! Coffee was amazing. Great service; we were in and out in 45 minutes on a weekday morning. I like the open kitchen where you can see them cook. The mushroom and Swiss omelette was great. I would gave preferred fresh mushrooms vs canned though. Home fries were on point! You can tell they get a lot of regular customers. Highly recommend!!

    Absolutely delicious! DeBlaze at 131 is an Italian-American restaurant we discovered online, and…read morewe were beyond impressed by the ambiance, service, and, most importantly, the food. We made a reservation online, and upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and seated by the very kind young host. There is also a public parking lot next door that offers free parking in the evenings, which made our visit even more convenient. We were seated upstairs, where our waitress took excellent care of us throughout the evening. She was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful when answering our questions and making recommendations. After ordering our drinks, which were deliciously crafted, we were served two rolls accompanied by their homemade olive oil dip. I wish I had asked what ingredients were in the dip because it was absolutely phenomenal! For our appetizer, we chose the House Made Meatballs in their Sunday Sauce. The sauce was unlike any other, but had the perfect balance of tangy, salty, and sweet. For dinner, we ordered the Shrimp and Lobster Florentine, Carbonara, and Smoked Gouda Pierogies. Every dish came out quickly, the perfect temperature, and packed with flavor. We truly had nothing negative to say about our experience at DeBlaze at 131. We were hoping to try one, or more, of their homemade desserts, but unfortunately, we were too full. Thankfully, that's just one more reason to come back and enjoy another incredible meal!

We were seated on the porch, where we enjoyed a beautiful view and a great breeze that made the evening even more enjoyable. Between the excellent food, outstanding service, and relaxing atmosphere, it was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. We will definitely be back!

    Ordered from Doordash twice this week!…read more Food is actually really good & a great value. Prepared according to the Doordash time, and always packaged well for transport. (and the bag is sealed with a double knot so your driver doesn't help themselves to your food lol) The Steak hoagie (with a mountain of fries) was delicious! All American burger was very good, cooked well, with fresh vegetable toppings. The special sauce was a good pairing. Also comes with a mountain of fries. Their fries were really good on both occasions - they are primantis/boardwalk-style fries, nicely cooked with added seasoning and salt - they are very good. The wings I got the the first time were just okay. The sauce was good, but the wings tasted oily and pretty soggy. Both times I got the same "house salad" from the menu - the quality is good but the consistency is not there. The first time, it came in a small square takeout box (like a slice of cake would be in), but the second time I got a large plastic container with an entree portion of salad (see photo). They need to make a few tweaks for delivery consistency, but overall, I would definitely recommend the Ugly Dog, at least for takeout/delivery!

    We stopped in to see a band and a bite to eat. First off this establishing advertised in The City…read moreScene Magazine, class boouche rag, great looking high quality ad.
