OK, so the spot has been open for a minute in Carrick, which is only like 2 miles from my home and I've been dying to try it. And let me tell you it does not disappoint. We got there early because I always see a line after like 11 AM so we got there a somewhere between 10 and 1030. We gave our name to the hostess and she let us know. It would be like a 20 minute wait you have to wait outside in your car or on the street due to the space restrictions inside which is no big deal. I don't even think we waited a full 20 minutes for our table to be ready. In the interim of waiting, we looked at the menu so we would know sort of what we wanted and when we sat down our server, Tia, I believe that was her name came over with the best energy, my brother and I both like we wanna start our day with her every day because she just was killing it. She offered feedback on menu items. She even suggested that I could get aside of something I was wanting, but I also knew that it would be too much and so I ended up getting the Philly cheesesteak omelette with a side of home fries, and she suggested that I get the side pancake up sold to the strawberry shortcake version which I didn't even know it was possible, but she was like no totally doable. My brother got the meat lovers omelette with a side of fries and a side of corned beef hash. Everything was hot. Everything was delicious. The flavors of everything just killed. And I would go back and scarfed down a whole plate of their strawberry shortcake pancakes, but for the fact that it would be too much food. If you haven't been you need to go this is like a cannot miss breakfast spot. Now I have to go back for lunch because they do wings and waffles (together!) they also offer sandwiches and other items. breakfast was just the tip of the iceberg. 10/10 read more

This post is a little different. It was a delivery order and not dine-in so I cant comment on service or atmosphere. Last weekend I was in the hospital and my wife asked if I wanted her to bring me something when she visited me. I had always wanted to try the food here, becasue it looks so amazing online, so I we agreed The Breakfast Spot was the place! I ordered the Reeses Pancakes while she ordered the French Toast Flight. That is where the fun stopped. When she arrived, I opened my container and was immediately disappointed. Not only was there barely any chocolate on the pancakes, but there wasnt any peanut butter. I was starving so I figured I will still give them a go. After a few bites, I honestly threw them in the trash and ate the hospital food. Almost no chocolate, no peanut butter and the driest I had ever eaten. The french toast flight was, at best, mediocre. The toast wasnt dry, however the toppings were flavorless and placed in one small lump in the middle of the bread. I was so excited to try this place but I couldn't have been more disappointed. Maybe take-out orders are just carelessly made? Maybe the food would be really good and they would make it properly if I ate it in the restaurant? Honestly, I dont want to risk wasting my money and time to try. I recommend avoiding this restaurant, especially for take-out. I dont want you to be disappointed like me. read more

It's a cute spot We were excited to try They have a counter They have booths and tables We had a booth Our waitress was awesome friendly and spot on with timing The pancakes were tasty Oreo,strawberry and fruity pebbles The French toast flight was strawberry short cake banana pudding and cinnamon A side of sausage and potatoes Our iced coffees were cookie butter Its was ok not blow away 50 dollars for all A bit pricey considering the size of the flights We easy found metered parking on the street read more

The Breakfast Spot - Pancake flight and French toast flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Here I had a mixed experience . For starters I ordered steak and eggs and then we sat for about 10-15 minutes. Our waitress comes back and says I'm sorry but we don't have any steak for the steak and eggs. Okay, she brings me a menu I order the Crack of Dawn (home fries, sausage, grits, eggs and a waffle). Eggs and sausage delicious, home fries had peppers and onions in it but it all tasted bland, grits I just didn't like personally (texture) and it was grits all down two sides of the bowl it came in , and that waffle was the star of the meal. Fluffy with a little crunch on the outside and just the right amount of powdered sugar to me. At some point we wrap up we ask for the check and one box. I sat in the booth for 15 minutes, she brings me the box no check, I politely ask for the check a second time. Another 20 minutes goes by and she walks past my table and looks at me square in the face and asked me if she had forgot anything. Aggravated I said my check. I think she sensed I was annoyed because she went straight to grab it and checked me out. The seating arrangement isn't bad but the dining area isn't very big either. Music played in the back which was nice during the waits. I would return but I would probably do take out only. read more

Stop searching for breakfast!!! Get here now!! Even their "dessert" like breakfast wasn't overly sweet. We ordered the French toast sliders with sausage, French toast flight, Philly cheesesteak omelette, full order banana pudding pancakes and full order of cinnamon swirl pancakes (we're bodybuilders, don't judge) basic coffee was good too. Jasmine did an amazing job! We asked for our sliders and flights to come out first which didn't exactly happen, but she jumped on our order once she realized our stuff didn't come out as planned. Service was amazing and so friendly! It was a perfect breakfast and perfect experience! Thank you breakfast spot! read more

(BLACK OWNED BUSINESS) Located in carrick.. I will get the salmon hash every time it's really that good! Even tho they switched from whole potatoes to shredded. The flavor profile is still there! ANYTHING BISCOFF IS FOR ME!! 10/10 The service is friendly and very accommodating! Any issues you have they'll fix expeditiously! read more

This place is always busy so that is a good sign! We were seated right away though and didn't have to wait. I wanted to get the strawberry shortcake French toast. They were tasty but they definitely added way too much topping to it so it was a bit overwhelming to eat. The iced coffee is okay...they gave me the wrong flavor but I'm not big on complaining much...it was still good just overly sweet. Staff are friendly and food comes out pretty quickly. There were many birthdays the day we were there and I like the song that they used for the guest! Very live! It's still a new place so I see a lot of potential with food being prepared better! read more

I was pooped and got pickled at the 10th Annual Picklesburgh, so my buddy's buddy took us here for a hearty breakfast before my nearly pulse-less body drove us back to where we came from. The Breakfast Spot's yinzer staff greeted us with no hesitation after we made our presence known in the dining area, and the ambience tickled me like what too much pickle juice does to my gag reflex - except pleasantly. I'd move to the Pittsburgh area in a heartbeat just to experience that hospitality again. The Western Omelette and home fries were fantabulous, and the Heinz Ketchup made me forget about the new name for the Stillers' home turf. I plan to be back before I pull a Kris Letang and miss most of my future pickle riding seasons due to a stroke. read more

This was such a cute spot for a breakfast/brunch date! My friend and I showed up around noon on a Saturday and there was only about a 10-15 min wait. There isn't much waiting room space which is a bit tough, but it's worth it! I highly suggest ordering off of their specials menu! My friend got the french toast sliders, which say bite size but they're a decent size for one person! I went with the breakfast tacos that have french toast as a shell, and I could've ate those all day! It all had a nice balance of sweet and savory, and tasted fresh. We both started out with the cinnamon swirl iced coffee that they were featuring. I was worried it was going to be overly sweet, but it was very refreshing, and the mini cinnamon roll was a nice little appetizer before the main meal! Keep in mind the space is pretty small and it doesn't seem to be air conditioned, but I don't think any of that is a deal breaker. They also have a cute little bar counter that you can eat at. Even if you don't want to eat inside, I suggest you at least order for pickup or delivery! read more

I absolutely love this place. The building is not very big and it's decorated beautifully. It's cozy, quaint, and cute. The staff is so friendly. The coffee was hot and fresh and so delicious. The food took a bit to come out but it was really good. I got a pancake flight and my only minor complaint was, they could have been warmer. My husband got a meat lovers omelet and it was one of the best he's had. We drove about 40 minutes to try this place, it's was worth it and we will definitely be back. read more

Although it was street parking, it was not a far walk. We got in and got seated almost immediately. It was very crowded, which was a good sign. We sat down and they brought our drinks out. The drinks were a little bit warm but we didn't have to wait long for the food. When we got our food we dug in right away and we're pretty pleased with what we got. It was my sisters bday and they played a song and brought her a huge pancake with sprinkles on it. The song was very upbeat. Our server was Tiarra and the service she gave was amazing. read more

The food was really good. Not a big place, but nice. I'd definitely go back. There's plenty on the menu to choose from.

For once I finally remembered to take a photo instead of diving in face and fork first! The problem with breakfast places offering a variety of toppings usually leaves one with a crucial decision of what to get. Blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes, decisions decisions. Well The Breakfast Spot fixed that, you can get whichever flavors you want when you order the pancake or french toast flight. All of it was very delicious. I thought this place was going to be overhyped but they are the hype! That is REAL banana pudding on my French toast. The sausage patty, that is exactly what I want when I order a sausage patty, it should be SPICED. Also, while I didn't get grits, they sell grits. Barely anyone sells grits for breakfast in Pittsburgh. The music playing was lovely and upbeat but did not drown us out like some places. Also, your phone won't work in there, which is good. We should be eating, enjoying the meal, and if you come with someone(s) conversing with them. The staff, omg I believe her name is Maya. She was so nice and very attentive while also leaving us alone. All of the servers were nice and helping each other. Also when you walk in, you're greeted by the staff with this warmth. Okay so my final thoughts.... Food Staff Service Wait time OH, There is PLENTY of street parking. read more

Awesome place for breakfast, portions were big and the service was great. Fantastic waitress with prompt service and welcoming smile.

There's a nearby public parking lot just up the street which is free on Sundays, and tends to have plenty of space. This restaurant is *small*, and that leads to some gnarly wait times and a packed entrance. You can pretty much expect to wait ~45 minutes to an hour. If you don't want to wait, they do seem to be on a delivery up, because I saw quite a few delivery orders piling up from the kitchen. When you are texted to come in, do make sure you get someone's attention. They can be *super* busy and sometimes the wait staff get focused on what they are doing. Despite them being pretty busy, their cooks work pretty hard and get food out pretty reasonably. All that said, I think the wait and hassle is worth it. There's a lot of diners in Pittsburgh, but tend to serve pretty similar things. Not only is the food just really good and filling, but they also have some unique and interesting menu items. I went for the french toast sliders. Really fun and tasty. Also I am the one that drenched it in syrup. Fortunately I can swim :D read more

The Breakfast Spot - French toast sliders with bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Seemed like a very standard and budget friendly diner kind of place. I wanted to pick up something quick and cheap for breakfast, so I stopped by to try out their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a muffin, not really expecting much from them. Well, I was surprised by how good this was! This sandwich had everything going for it. The price was super reasonable and so was the portion. But, most importantly, it just tastes great. The bacon was perfectly crispy and salty. The muffin was fluffy and didn't overwhelm the sandwich. They include a very fair amount of egg and cheese, both cooked perfectly. So tasty, and very fluffy eggs as well. All in all, a wonderful sandwich and a very nice breakfast spot. Would like to try the sweet options next. read more

This is a small location with a lot of heart! Please be mindful that there are no reservations, so on weekends you will probably wait about an hour. We checked in at 11 and were seated by 11:45. It took a bit for our waitress to come over, but she was literally back to back with tables. Once she came over she did apologize for the delay. I ordered the pancake flight and it was the absolute perfect way to try a little bit of everything. Most places up charge you if you want specialty pancakes and this was $10 for any 3 pancakes you want. My husband had the chicken and waffles and we shared a side of home fries. The chicken was juicy, crisp and the powdered sugar added a nice touch! The waffle was fluffy and cooked to perfection. My pancakes were cooked golden brown, the strawberry shortcake one was my absolute favorite! I would get those again for sure! I liked the Cinnamon roll one as well as the fruity pebble, it just like the cinnamon swirl was a little heavy. I do wish there was a menu or list of iced coffee or specialty drinks they offered. I only asked because I had previously seen a cookie dough latte on their IG. I had a salted caramel iced coffee, which was a little on the sweeter side, but over all good. Overall it was a great experience, the staff is attentive and amazing! We will absolutely be back! read more

I went on Mother's Day last year and we went the second it opened since we had a bigger party It was the day after our friend's bodybuilding show and she obviously loved it but everyone had a great meal I had Oreos pancakes, strawberry shortcake, an omelette and biscuits and gravy. The pancakes were good but nothing to write home about. The omelette was cooked perfectly, eggs fluffy and great filling Our waitress was super polite and the owner came out and thanked us and made sure we enjoyed everything. It's very clean inside and you can tell they care a lot about their business For being so critical of food and specifically pancakes/breakfast food, I'm shocked at how many people told me they weren't a fan of this place It's def worth a try but is a tad bit pricey read more

Let me start by saying, if there is a line it's WORTH THE WAIT! The food was absolutely delicious that I want to go again tomorrow. My mom and I ordered the peach cobbler pancakes (which is a seasonal item) and it was absolutely amazing. No syrup or anything additional was needed as the pancake was made to perfection. We also got the western omelette which was really good and the hash browns were seasoned to perfection. We went on a slow day but I still believe the wait staff was extremely friendly and very thorough on explaining the menu options and answering our questions. If you haven't checked out this spot RUN, before the rush but if there is a line add yourself to the list relax and get ready for a good hearty meal. read more

The Breakfast Spot - Steak & Eggs with SIDE Home Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The Breakfast Spot is located on Brownsville Road.  They do not take reservations and sometimes there is a line, so arrive early!  But the wait is so worth it.  They have savory and sweet menu items as well as some speciality/ seasonal features.  Very welcoming and friendly staff who are very knowledgeable about the menu and eager to explain the menu options.  Tried their NEW coffee flavors, and OMG! The coconut was perfectly sweet and topped with a chocolate coconut cookie. The caramel tasted like real caramel and was topped with caramel candies. And the Butter Pecan was buttery and oh so delicious and topped with a piece of a pecan roll. The breakfast tacos were part of their specialty menu, choose between bacon and sausage, scrambled eggs all inside a slice of French toast! Both savory and sweet, flavors hit the spot. The pancake flight was a must- they've got so many pancake flavors, both on their regular menu and specialty menu and you can mix and match! We got the triple berry, peach cobbler & chocolate chip. I can't pick a favorite- they were all amazing!!! The breakfast sandwich was a classic. Choose your meat, choose your bread/bun and choose how you want your eggs served with American cheese! I loved my experience and cannot wait to go back!!!! read more

Seemingly family run fun "breakfast spot". The staff are attentive, kind, fast, and have a sense of humor. They serve the basics and have a few unique offerings on their specials menu!

It is street parking but we found a public lock one block away so it was a easy walk. read more

Wish I could give this place no stars bc the service here sucked!! We asked for two ice coffees never got em bc they ran out of ice? And didn't say anything. Asked for a coke got water instead bc they ran out of coke but didn't say anything till we asked again? I ordered waffles with bacon and hash browns. Only got my waffles. They were very unorganized didn't know what drinks or food went to what table. They dropped off an orange juice that wasn't ours and didn't know if they were giving us the right eggs Benedict. Overall really sucky experience. This is one of those places you just come once and don't come back. We drove out 45 mins bc it looked promising. Never again. *****edit***** I had to pull over and throw up my food bc I had a stomachache after leaving. Don't come to this place ever read more

My fiancé and I got on the waitlist and waited in our car nearby the restaurant. Once we got the text a hour later that our table was ready we went back to the restaurant and was inside less than 2 mins after receiving the text . 4 mins later and I get another text That I'm no longer on the waitlist.. we asked the hostess how come we received this text and we didn't get a real response. She offered to put us back on the waitlist but didn't want to say how long or how many parties are ahead ,but we figured another hour wait . I'm just shocked how fast they cancelled and we was only waiting in the car due to the lack of space and the fact It was during a thunderstorm so didn't feel comfortable outside. read more

My original review was based on the restaurant "Gary's" that was there several years ago. Not for the new place, the breakfast spot. I don't even understand how they were able to steal the good reviews for a business that wasn't theirs but just in the same location. I tried to remove my review for Gary's, but Yelp kept having an error, so I am resorting to this. I have not tried the breakfast spot, so I can't leave a good review, but it is bothering me that the new restaurant was able to take on their review identity. read more

I'm going to rate my experience a 5/5. The service was great and little things that I appreciate is having hygiene products and lotion in the bathroom- which was clean. Food was meh but that's my personal preference; not because it wasn't good. The drinks flavored with kook-aid is not my thing. I still stand behind my recommendation! Much success to your business! read more

We went about 5 months ago and did not have a good experience. I wrote about it here. The owners offered a gift card to return which was nice but we didn't take it. We decided to give it another try and boy are we glad we did! They were very busy (Sunday morning) so we sat at the counter. Every server was very efficient and friendly to all . Mya was our server and she was great. Other servers also would ask if we were ok. Food was VERY good and filling! It was a great experience this time around and will definitely recommend to friends. The ambiance is great but being older I would suggest turning the (great) music down just a bit!!! Five stars for you! read more

Service was great! Food was okay, but it gets packed quickly! Go early!!! Would go again if in the area but wouldn't make a special trip. ‍

Husband and I went to try this after seeing all the hype on Instagram, and it didn't live up to that hype. Unlike other reviews, we didn't have to wait long for a table - maybe 15, 20 minutes. It felt like there was no AC in that building (Pittsburgh humidity) - so it was miserable sitting there. For how many folks they had working, the service was extremely slow and seemingly unorganized. The food was underwhelming at best. And for what we paid, just not worth it. Not the worst dining experience I've ever had, but definitely not good enough to go back. read more

To keep it straight to the point, BEST PANCAKES IVE HAD! Havent had grits in years and this brought me back to when and how I enjoyed them.

I ordered a take out order, so I can only provide a review based on that. I was able to place the order conveniently through the toast app, so that made it easy. It looks like they recently added peach cobbler pancakes to the menu a little over 1 month ago, but I couldn't find it as a stand-alone option to order on the app. It was available when ordering the pancake "flight," so that worked. My food was ready a little before the quoted time, and I received a text notification when it was ready, so the communication was great. My order was correct and boxed properly, so the presentation was nice. When I arrived my food was sitting on the counter, which was ok, but it would nice if they can invest in a warmer to keep the food warm, especially if the order is done earlier than the quoted time. Ok, now the food was awesome. There is no contest on that. For the pancake flight, we got peach cobbler, strawberry, and pineapple upside-down. These little babies were the star of the show. They were like little mini desserts in every bite. I absolutely loved the peach cobbler flavor. I also love that they have turkey and vegan options for those who do not eat pork. They had thick cut turkey bacon, full of flavor and not over cooked...done just right. We definitely would like to come back to order as dine in guest, so we can try it while it's hot and fresh. read more
