I've driven up and down Potomac Ave for years and never noticed Fredo's which is right next door to…read morethe Dormont Theater. I had to stop into Fredo's after seeing photos from my daughter who had just spent two weeks in Bosnia. The interior of Fredo's is like stepping into a small shop you'd find in Bosnia. The yellow walls are welcoming, and cozy. There's a small variety of snacks, and beverages on one side of the shop, and a large counter where you'd place your order. There are a few tables for dining in, but I chose to take my order home. I ordered a small Cevapi and Sirnica, plus picked up some Croatian chocolate for dessert. The Cevapi were delicious skinless beef and veal sausages, that were nicely savory and well browned. A cup of chopped onions, and what I think was a yogurt sauce came with my Cevapi which added more flavor and an overall goodness to the Cevapi. A bread similar to a pita made eating Cevapi easy, and filling. The Sirnica was equally delicious. A wonderful mix of flaky, chewy phyllo pastry, and cheese baked inside the pastry. It definitely hit the spot with a nice balance of a light pastry and mild cheese. I ate the leftover half cold, and it was just as good! The lady at the counter was friendly, and patient with me. The menu is truly a deli menu full of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. If you're wanting to go for the House Specials, you won't be disappointed!

They have a couple of tables inside for dining and we chose the one closest to the coffee bar. The one employee there took our order and made our food right next to us at the counter/kitchen set up located behind the register. We did see several takeout orders get picked up while we were there. My mom had the gyro salad and I ordered an Italian with no onions or dressing. My mom was disappointed that the "greens" were actually chopped romaine and/or iceberg. The gyro meat was flavorful and had a nice crisp to the outside and the homemade dressing was delicious. The Italian was also decent. I'm picky when it comes to hoagie rolls and this baguette was soft and fresh. I typically prefer more of a crisp exterior, but this was fine. The meat and toppings were fresh and the sandwich was served with a small bag of Lay's on the side. Overall, we had a nice experience dining in the small deli, but with so many options in the Pittsburgh area, I can't say we were wowed enough to be repeat customers.

We didn't, but somehow got lucky snagging seats at the bar... which honestly turned out to be a perfect spot to eat too! The beet salad was SO good I could've easily ordered a second without hesitation. I had a self-proclaimed Reuben connoisseur with me, and he declared it the best Reuben he's ever had (second only to his own, of course ). It's not your typical version either--no standard Thousand Island overload. The corned beef was perfectly peppered and packed with flavor, and even the bread stood out. Fish tacos? Absolutely a yes. Fresh, flavorful, and just done right. We split sides--tater tots for one dish and the homemade chips for the other. Always go for the homemade chips here. WOW! They had this subtle sweetness that made them seriously addictive. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and food that lives up to the hype. Totally worth it! One quick heads up: there's a 3% fee if you use a credit card, so plan accordingly.

We arrived around 4:30pm, we had to park on the street, but there were several spots available. The restaurant is small with a casual interior. We were greeted and seated immediately. The food was good with hearty portions, but our waitress rushed us the entire time. We said we needed a few minutes, because this was our first time here, so she stood there and just... waited. She didn't offer to make any suggestions or ask whether we had any questions, she was just standing inches from the table looking at us. Finally I had to say, "oh, you don't have to wait right here, it'll be at least 5 minutes." Then she left. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, two non-alcoholic drinks, and two desserts. She never asked whether we wanted dessert, and reached to present the bill while asking if we needed any takeout boxes. I had to interject and ask if we could see a menu for dessert options. The check was placed on our table before dessert arrived, which has never happened to us before at any restaurant we've ever been to. Then, when the desserts were brought to the table, she grabbed the bill presenter and said, "are we good?" I replied, "no, I'll pay when we're done eating." It was odd because we went very early and there were only a few other tables occupied so, I had no idea why we were being rushed the entire time. They also brought my daughter's entree with the wrong side, but they fixed it right away with no fuss. I left a generous tip and didn't report our experience. She was never outright rude to us, but rushing guests at every interaction is uncomfortable and made us feel unwelcome. Overall, this place is good, but if I ever go back, I would insist on a different waitress.

I rarely write a bad review...that whole bit about nothing nice to say and all, but the food was exceptionally nasty. It wasn't busy when we went in so we were seated quickly and our server was good. To start, our silverware was disgusting and it seems like other people had similar misfortune here. My fork and knife had old crusty food on them. We got new silver and ordered. I will say the coffee is slightly better than diner average. I ordered a ham and cheese crepe. It had a few sad, greasy strands of shredded Kraft cheddar cheese and a single slice of deli ham that tasted kinda off. The crepe itself was drenched in oil and tasted microwaved. It was inedible. My husband had a bland, cold omlette with soggy flavorless potatoes. I don't see this place lasting honestly. read more

Hadn't been here in a minute and thought of this place right across from Brentwood Towne Center. They get pretty busy on weekends and it's clear they have a lot of regulars, which always speaks well of a place. We happened to hit it at just the right time before it got too crowded. JT's name remains on the place but it now seems to be run by Sam whose name is added on the menus and inside. We had a funny experience when parking on the street as I was checking the app to see if payment was required on Sundays, and Sam happened to be outside and called over to us to make sure not to pay today. It set just the right start to this homey family diner experience. The space inside is modest and feels like you are eating at a family member's home, complete with kitschy little framed sayings on the walls. There is a television on and patrons chat with the staff and one another. There are maybe 10 tables of varying sizes and a counter, and today we had one server working hard to take care of everyone, the owner and a couple of cooks in the back. The menu is two pages, almost entirely breakfast items such as egg combination dishes, omelettes, French toast and pancakes. There are a few specials posted each day. You might think that a breakfast item is a breakfast item, but they really do it well here. First is a focus on high-quality ingredients from local providers like Weiss Meats and Mancini's Bread. There are creative items like my veggie jumbot, which was sort of an egg scramble including mushrooms, green peppers, onions and cheese, and it was delicious. Their potato pancakes remind me of the most I've had of a friend's who used to make authentic Eastern European ones. You can substitute one of these for your potato side and I highly recommend doing so. Even my companion's relatively simple breakfast of eggs, bacon and potato pancake was a huge hit for being perfectly prepared, because "no one ever flips the over-easy eggs just right." This is an under-the-radar spot, but locals know about it, and you should too.
