    The Big G Special

    Had an outstanding experience this afternoon- ordered the can slam- added home fries and grits- others in the family ordered wake up special, the big g special and breakfast sandwich- all exceptional!!! The service was wonderful.

    Looking for a hidden gem in the Pittsburgh Hill District? Welcome to Grandma B's! Amazing service and delicious food. Darian is a friendly and personable chef that aims to please. Everything we tasted exceeded our expectations.

    To know this little gem is nestled in my neck of the woods brings my heart delight. I had the pleasure of dining in for Saturday morning breakfast with my family. The vibe of Grandma B's is so relaxing & comfortable that you feel like your sitting in your own kitchen reminiscing & kicking back with your own family. You feel welcomed by everyone the moment that you enter. (I must warn you that this is a very busy establishment with that said; the wait time is impeccable for one person to maintain. It's actually fun to watch how he does it, while being engaging in conversation & laughter with the customers) Now let's get into the heart of the review....THE FOOD! Incredible & delicious is an understatement....I can see myself returning frequently to experience the full menu. Everything I had was completely scrumptious. If you want that "down home country breakfast" this is certainly your place. Sidenote: If you're coming with a crowd of more than 5 you may have a wait because the front end can only accommodate around 15 or so comfortably. They also offer take out as an option. Either way you can't go wrong.

    This is a hot spot for breakfast and all my friends kept telling me to try it. The hours on Yelp and Google are posted wrong, because when I arrived they said they close at 1:30p on Sundays and 2:30p Monday through Saturday. Although I arrived at closing time, they were nice enough to take our order as the last order of the day, since I drove 30 minutes to get here. This is a cash only spot, so keep that in mind when ordering. Man....I ate this food so fast I did not have a chance to take a picture. The "AL special" gives you a chance to experience a fulfilling breakfast of pancakes, cheese eggs, potatoes, and turkey bacon. I ordered the French Toast. They gave me three pieces which were perfectly cooked throughout and topped with butter and powder sugar. I honestly did not need much syrup, if any. Overall, this is one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while, outside of my own. I will come back, but next time I will call ahead for pick up.

    Wonderful breakfast spot. Maybe you saw it featured on Anthony Boudain's Parts Unknown? A real community place where everyone is friendly and the portions are generous. It's a small room where the kitchen is front and center. Although the sign says "Don't distract the chef," the chef was jumping in on conversation and greeting customers. Everything we tried was delicious. There are some unusual dishes, such as Fish, Grits and Eggs with Cheese. A unique place and lots of fun.

    Philly cheesesteak

    I stopped by while visiting Pittsburgh and ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and I would definitely go back for it. It's hard to find good halal places like this. While the man was making my food he offered to throw in some fries, just so I can try them since he said they were really good. I said no, only because I wasn't that hungry, and didn't want them going to waste. Next time I'm in town I'll try them for sure. The place is definitely a hole in the wall, and sort of a bad location, in the middle of nowhere, on a pretty empty block. It looks like one of the old school burger joints; big bar counter and a few tables. The brothers who worked there were super pleasant and made me feel comfortable in a room full of dudes. They do close for Jummah on Fridays, around noon, so make sure you call ahead if you plan on going around that time.

    Great small owned business to support. The guys are super cool and the food is delicious. I have been there twice for breakfast. First time I got the Big Al's special with hot cakes, turkey bacon, eggs and potatoes. The young man who was working encouraged me to get the tea and it was bomb . Second time I got the French toast plus meats (with sausage and bacon). The French toasts were my favorite of the two visits. I also got 2 teas the second time cause that was too good I needed more for later. They are popular so it does take 20-30min for your order so order ahead and know that it's cash only. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good breakfast spot in Pittsburgh.

    Grandma B's is a pretty small restaurant, but a lot of people either come alone or with a friend/significant other. They also have a couple larger tables toward the back of the restaurant that seat around 4 people each. My boyfriend and I shared a Philly cheesesteak with fries and a breakfast plate with pancakes, sausage, potatoes, and an egg. Their Philly cheesesteak by default came with a few toppings that aren't normally on a Philly cheesesteak (lettuce, tomatoes, mayo). I personally thought this made the cheesesteak better, but my boyfriend didn't agree and took them off. Fries were delicious. The sausage on the breakfast plate seemed overcooked and the egg was definitely overfried. The pancakes and potatoes were fine. Although I wish our food came out faster (took about 25 minutes total), the kindness of the owners made up for it. Taste | 3.5-4 Atmosphere | 3 Presentation | 3 Service | 3.5 OVERALL | 3.5-4

We were going to try the sweet crepes too, but were stuffed after the kachapuri. There were many vegetarian options. The waiter was helpful and nice and we didn't wait long for the food to come out.

Kavsar is a family-owned restaurant that feels like a hidden local gem and a great escape if you want to try something new. This was my first time having Uzbek food and I really enjoyed it. I ordered the Lagman with beef, Samsa beef, the Kavsar boat with chicken, and a bottle of water. It was definitely a lot of food for one person, but I wanted to try a little of everything and I'm glad I did. Everything tasted fresh, hearty, and homemade. One tip: don't get too full on the main dishes. Save room for the Honey Cake for dessert. It's absolutely worth it and something you don't want to miss. If you're in Pittsburgh and want a cozy spot with great food and welcoming vibes, Kavsar is a fantastic place to check out.

    Food:5/5 Before…read moreHanadi, most Mediterranean restaurants tasted pretty similar to me--similar herbs, spices, and sauces. I realized, I was definitely missing out. Though the wait was long (1hr on a busy Sunday), the food came out piping hot. Each dish was flavorful. The chicken shawarma was juicy, and had the right blend of spices and sauces without being overly heavy or soggy. The rice was simple side, but had nutty buttery taste profile complimented by the parsley garnish. And the friend cauliflower reminded me a bit of Indian Dahi Wada in flavor, but was piping hot and crispy. Now Hanadi's is my standard for good Mediterranean food Reasonably priced, fair portions, and good quality ingredients. Service: 3/10 Self order, food came out 1 hour late, but worth the wait. Ambiance: 3/10 Don't go for the ambiance, it looks like a humble family restaurant. But makes up for the interior with the quality of food. It was clean and tidy,

Very convenient location on McKnight Road, although it's on the Southern end of the business strip. Lots of free parking.
