    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a beautiful sunny morning to enjoy an outside brunch with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was one of a couple open earlier in the morning to grab a bite to eat after a 5k. We lucked out and were promptly seated. It was interesting that the food came out quicker than the cappuccino I ordered. The brisket and poached eggs were fantastic. I thought my breakfast overall was high value for the actual price.

    My friend and I checked out Sally Ann's for brunch on a Saturday. I was able to make a reservation online. When we arrived, we were seated right away. I started with a chai latte, which was delicious! They offer a variety of drink options including: coffee (boozy and non boozy), tea, house cocktails, n/a beverages, wine, and beer. For brunch, I ordered a version of eggs Benedict. It was a hearty meal. I also ordered a slice of coffee cake to go. It tasted different than what I am used to. It had a strong molasses flavor that I wasn't a fan of. But overall, we had a good experience and I would come back again.

    Sally Ann's is named after restauranteur Richard DeShantz's mother, and it serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual setting. Through the Resy app, I made a reservation for breakfast for my husband and me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon our arrival, the seating hostess promptly seated us at a small, clean table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant's interior design looked colorful and interesting. The lighting was dim (so I used my cell phone's light to read the menu!).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The breakfast menu listed foods such as coffee cake, banana foster bread pudding, biscuit and gravy, salmon toast, eggs Benedict, brisket hash, and sandwiches and beverages such as coffees, teas, cocktails, juices, beers, and wines. Our waitress provided courteous service, although she decided to bring out my main course as our shared appetizer and brought our drinks a bit later. Here are my reviews for what we ate: Caramel Apple French Toast - 4 stars - This French toast had two layers--a bottom one that was plain and a top one that had toppings of roasted apples, almond brittle (hard and crunchy), and caramel. Quiche Lorraine - 3.5 stars - This quiche was taller than quiches that we have seen at other restaurants. The egg custard was in the top and middle, and the bacon, onions, and cheese were on the very bottom. We would have preferred that these ingredients be mixed in, and my husband did not eat the plain egg in the top. He did like the side salad that had a not-heavy dressing. Giant Cinnamon Bun - 4.5 stars - This dessert is served only on Saturdays and Sundays and is similar to a cinnamon roll. It was a large almond streusel topped with a good amount of cream-cheese icing. My husband said that he liked it, and so did I. Hot Chocolate - 4 stars - This 12-ounce hot chocolate tasted very good. Chai Latte - 4 stars - This 12-ounce chai latte tasted very good. The total price for this meal was $56 plus sales tax, a 3% operating fee, and a tip.

    Enjoyed lunch at Sally Ann's with my husband today. Fish Friday!!! The Pittsburgher, cod beer batter deep fired with fries and coleslaw was delicious, always a local favorite. The Bahn Mi, cod blackened with crunchy pickled vegetables , cilantro and jalapeño was a fantastic modern take. If you're craving fish today, I highly recommend this nostalgic restaurant.

    Our waitress was a little slow. The food came out fast but was not as good as I expected. The breakfast potatoes were a little burned but still good. The banana bread was good. Everything was just.. good but not great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cool place for brunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fantastic and food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building is decorated with cool art and repurposed doors and things.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kind of looks like a converted barn.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom sink is weird, its a large tub that is shared between the men's and women's room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check my pics to see!

    Nice place for brunch. They do have different items in the menu depending on the time so I wish I was aware of that. Otherwise nice selection of dishes. Service was great, server was attentive and food came out in reasonable time. Salmon toast was aesthetically pleasing. The piping of the cream cheese was a bit heavy but other than that delicious dish. The side smashed potatoes were heavenly.

    Before we saw Wicked, we stopped here for brunch. It is so conveniently located in the cultural district. We had a large party of 13 and they accommodated us perfectly (we did make reservations). Our server was on top of everything! We had great service and the food was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved the vibe of the place and the music was excellent. The whole place gives off positive vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Corned beef Benedict
    Altaf A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like Sally Ann's for its vibe; however, the menu and service always fall short of making it great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is always hopping busy so make sure you have a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really love the decor of this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I find the menu has fairly heavy food and leaves me wanting a something in the middle between their light and hearty options. Ultimately, we went for the the corned beef benedict and the avocado toast. We tried the hash browns as a side and it came in fun square cubes. Our table didn't have a menu for the fancier coffee drinks, which we might have gone for had we seen the menu. I had a regular coffee, and it was really hard getting coffee refills or the server's attention. Service is a weird recurring issue. I've often sat at the counter, waiting for 15-20 minutes for them to give me drip coffee: and was told it's the same line as prepared coffee drinks, so we'll give it to you when the time comes... while there's a brewed pot right there. I have come here many times and will do so again, but I wish it was a bit more than it is.

    Brisket hash
    Kristine S.

    Decided to do brunch here and so glad we did. We sat at the bar and received the best service from Aus, the cocktail genius. She made a delicious old fashioned and a unique mimosa. The food was amazing. I had the Pittsburgh Nasty, which is a homemade biscuit with sausage gravy, chicken and an egg. So good! My husband had the brisket hash and thought it was tasty and would get it again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a cool vibe and lively energy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't wait to go back!

    While visiting Pittsburgh for the Steelers game, we went to Sally Ann's for breakfast our first morning here. We arrived shortly after opening, it was pretty empty and we were seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was so cute and our service was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was delicious, my husband got an egg sandwich and I got the salmon toast. The potatoes that came with my husband's sandwich were perfectly crispy, they were sooo good. My salmon toast was delicious, it was huge I only ate half. We both got caramel iced lattes that were amazing. Would highly recommend when visiting Pittsburgh!

    Seating
    Gina A.

    Listen, just get here! Seriously... a wonderful spot to grab breakfast that is so incredibly beautiful and welcoming. The decor is amazing and the seating is great. They have a large table for bigger parties, a bar area with lots of seating, high tops, private booths and various table/chair options as well. It is obvious that someone with loads of talent decorated this space with your comfort in mind. Super cool vibes. Not form this area so not sure of the parking situation. We were able to walk here from a nearby hotel. Well worth every single step!! Every single employee was beyond friendly and welcoming. Our server was very attentive. It is clear that they enjoy being there and believe in this team of people who are sharing their passion and commitment to delivering delicious food to guests. The quality of the food is fantastic! We ordered avocado toast, grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches, chicken and waffles along with coffee. I would say that we all enjoyed our meal and would highly recommend all of what was ordered. You cannot make a bad decision off of this menu. This place has it all - the vibes, the service and the food! A true gem of a place.

    Michael F.

    We walked into the place as a complete accident. Winner! Big night? This is the breakfast you need. In particular, a Bloody Mary and the Pittsburgh Nasty (fried chicken, biscuit, gravy, and an over easy egg). While my choice was amazing, it was hard to pick, what an awesome menu. Great and friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of families and groups seem to congregate here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Odd note, don't forget to use the restroom and check out the VERY unique sink[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The Speckled Egg provided the upscale and elevated breakfast, that was a nice contrast to the rustic and local breakfast we had the next day. Our waitress was friendly and professional. After some deliberation, I went with a bowl that included eggs, chicken sausage, sweet potatoes and a nice garnish of dill. The dill surprisingly elevated the whole dish. My wife enjoyed an omelette. Coffee was also quite good! Nice start to a day of sightseeing! (The restaurant staff gave great advice about the nearby tourist attractions)

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).

Plenty of seating inside & out. clean bathrooms, self-service kiosks but they also have a register if you are lazy like me. Parking can be a little challenging, but there are several nearby garages that make it manageable. 10/10 experience. So grateful we got the chance to try smashed waffles.

Amazing flavors. My daughter got the croissant avocado toast which she loved. I also got a pistachio latte and was pleasantly surprised to see the used pistachio butter and not a syrup.

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.

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.

The cool vibe restaurant is tucked away up a short flight of stairs on Filbert Street. It gives the place a cozy, hideaway feel with brick walls and murals.

She appeared overwhelmed by her role and was not warm. We were actually told by the waiters that "she is serious about her list". Which would be great if she managed it effectively. When I brought concerns that we had been pushed down the list 3 times for other parties. She responded "well, how do you know that" to which I responded "we watched you take their names down after ours and sit them before us". Her response was to shoo me off and tell me to go find a table myself; to which I did. But what a poor way to manage your stress, responsibility, and consumers. On the bright side my waiter/waitress was awesome per usual.
