Amazing food!!! Will definitely eat here again. The French toast sampler was delicious.

The food was amazing.. The service was on point.. like the food took just about little under 10 min!! Place look small from the outside, but they have about 15-20 tables! You have to check this place out!! Was going to take a pic of food but I eat all of it... read more

This place has no air conditioning! As a restaurant owner myself I don't understand why you would not prioritize your customers and staff. No one wants to sweat while they eat. And, your staff should not be working in these conditions. Do better. read more

Everything from staff and customer service to the hospitality and food was absolutely amazing! will be returning!!!

I was really hoping for more. The place before was a lot better. The waffles were good. Lots of big parties of people for a small restaurant. Waited about 15 mins for a beverage, they said they had to wash more cups. Prices high compared to other local breakfast spots. read more

The Breakfast Spot - Hungry Man - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very good place for breakfast. Very reasonable and clean with friendly and attentive wait staff. I had a very simple breakfast. My only, very slight complaint is that while I got everything I ordered, things on the margin were a little cheap. I'm a tea drinker. I got a cup of tea, not the pot I'd have gotten at IHOP. Granted, it was $3, not the $4 IHOP charges for the pot but they also give you better tea. Then there was the "wheat toast" I ordered. One lone slice emerged from the kitchen. I can't remember ever seeing that before; maybe they were short on wheat bread! read more

The food was delicious! Everything was served hot. The service was AMAZING! Everyone was very accommodating and genuinely trying to please their customers. Will definitely be back. read more

My family chooses a new breakfast spot (no pun intended.. lol) each week. We've gone to so many different restaurants at this point, we forget which are Top 5. HOWEVER, this restaurant...though not local to us (Beaver County), made our top 5, and won't easily be forgotten! 3 out of 4 of us ordered the Crack of Dawn breakfast. We ALL said our eggs were amazingly soft and fluffy, bacon was crisp, grits were AMAZZZING *cheese were added to mine, and hash browns were great too! It also came with your choice meat (my sausage was delish!), and either pancakes or French toast (way too much for me to eat! I highly recommend, and plan to be back! read more

Very friendly staff, fast, and efficient. The food was creative and not overwhelming. It was delicious and flavored perfectly. Our table had the triple berry pancakes which were so fluffy and the fruit was fresh, French toast which was not soggy and grilled perfectly. The cornbeef plate came with a twist, it was a cream sauce and the meat lovers omelette was devoured by a teenage boy who is a connoisseur of bacon definitely ask for the secret menu! We will be back! read more

Pancakes were light and fluffy, and chicken and waffles were good. Would have liked some hot sauce but I should have asked for some. The home fries were not home made they consisted of factory cut potatoes which were burnt ( black). The grits were like elementary school paste. It's a Weds. so maybe the staff is different on the weekends. I felt like I ordered the wrong item from the menu. I was underwhelmed. I am glad I did the Trial run. The food looked great on the Talk show. One of the owners asked us about our experience, I just said it was good. The venue is nice, clean, bright cheery. Mid week is not the time to visit. read more

Cute little spot in the south hills. Breakfast was good and the coffee was great. The place was busy and it was a Wednesday! The music playing overhead was my favorite. read more

Walked in to order takeout. They didn't notify my when the food was ready, so I got it after coming back in to ask after it had been sitting for an unknown time. Got home to find that half the food from one of the orders was missing. read more

Writing this review while still standing outside after 45 minutes (being told that the wait was 20-30). We've observed the entire kitchen staff standing in the alley next to the restaurant smoking while people milled about outside hoping for breakfast as trash from the street blew by assaulting hungry patrons. This does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling regarding the cleanliness of the establishment. We will be leaving to dine elsewhere. ***EDIT- we left and had breakfast somewhere else, but still did not receive a call that our table was ready after 1.5 hours. Beyond unprofessional. read more

Delicious breakfast at reasonable prices! Friendly service and a great atmosphere to boot- worth stopping by to give them a try!

Saw this place on IG and I have to say. Best little breakfast spot yet!! I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it was probably the best one I have ever had here in Pittsburgh!! My daughter got French toast that she loved and she took a bite of my sandwich and almost cried because it was so good and she said it was because she wished she could have had both I have been recommending this place to everyone I know!! Our server was so nice and fast and the restaurant itself is a cute little place. We will absolutely be back if not become regulars it's that good! read more

A group of 12 of us went to The Breakfast Spot on Mother's Day. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the pancakes, the omelettes, and the steak and eggs! Friendly service. Definitely a repeat spot for sure! read more

Staff, food, and environment are all on point. I appreciated that the menu is not overly complicated. We ordered the salmon hash, vegetable omelet, and shared the cinnamon swirl pancakes. Everything was delicious, made to order, and felt well worth the price. We will definitely be back again. Hoping this small business is able to thrive! read more

I could not complain about one thing, give yourself time it's not a big restaurant but the seating is comfortable and the it's very clean. The service is wonderful the staff makes sure you get exactly what you want and need. Now the food... I ordered the Crack of Dawn after watching lots of plates go by I had a very hard time trying to decide what to order it all looks amazing I locked in and ordered. I ordered mine with the choice of Pancakes!!! The ladies I went with also ordered the chicken and waffles or French Toast, it was finger licking good bones clean GOOD! Perfectly seasoned you don't need a drop of anything more to add to your plate. One of the owners checked in several times to make sure we were satisfied. I wish I could have given more than 5 read more

It opens at 7:00 am. Thought I'd try it at 7:30 this am. No one there. As I was getting back in my car a female came and said she would be opening up soon. I left anyway read more

Probably the worst meal and service, I've had in Pittsburgh. With only 7 tables sat of two each. The server forgot about us. Delivered one cup of coffee when we ordered two. Had to flag down a different server who was refilling her tables cups to refill the one cup and finally grab us the other 20 minutes after the initial order. The other server seemed like a competent server. Ordered a fruit bowl when we ordered the coffee since we had a baby. Had to reorder the fruit cup when we placed our order. Our server didn't come back to our table after we ordered til we were ready to pay. I don't usually blame bad service on the establishment, But the food was awful. We ordered a Montecristo sandwich, a corn, beef hash, and a kids waffle with sausage. first off the kids meal did not come with a sausage. The Montecristo was not a Montecristo in fact the server who delivered it called it a French toast sandwich which in reality it was... but not a Monte Cristo. I was expecting jam and Swiss cheese and ham with powdered sugar. and got American cheese, over hard egg(ordered over easy) and sausage entirely unexpectedly. The corn beef hash was some type of German potato salad with not even corn beef some type of cube steak and very little of it too. I'm all for uniqueness on your menu or your take of a corn beef hash, but put it on the menu that there is a difference between yours and a traditional corn beef hash, so we're not disappointed. The table behind us was also extremely disappointed by their corn beef too and were joking about having to drown it in Frank's red hot to choke it down. made new friends with that other table about how bad the experience was. A real shame cuz the place is beautifully done and clean. We had high hopes. read more

What a fantastic spot to get breakfast! Nicely priced, well prepared food and my family loved it! The pancakes were amazing! I'm always looking for places to get breakfast and I'm glad to have found The Breakfast Spot! read more

Portions are way too small and prices are way too high. French toast, regular thin bread and no toppings, two slices of bacon, $13 read more

NOTE THE DATES ON REVIEWS. MOST ARE FOR "GARY'S RESTAURANT" THAT PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED THIS SPACE. THE BREAKFAST SPOT OPENED IN LATE 2023 Went back to try again expecting it to improve after some experience. Meh! Service was slow. Apparently, servers called off or quit. Tables were not getting bussed. Hip-hop music was way too loud and acoustics made it very noisy. Could barely hear my companion or server. Eggs over easy were served broken. Waffle was cold. Eggs Benedict was O.K. but the basemuffins were not toasted or buttered. Coffee was good. Server was nice, but overwhelmed. Professional servers needed It's a shame. We had high hopes for this lovely space, but the atmosphere is not enough to carry it in this neighborhood. Run over the hill and go to Frank and Shirley's on 51. read more

Cute little place with friendly staff. Food is good but not served to all people at your table at the same time. Place was almost full and very warm, making it a little uncomfortable. Traveled a little ways to get here and probably won't return because of the drive. If you're in the area and not in a hurry, stop by. read more

Food is usually delicious and fresh tasting. Large portions. Service is hit and miss. Prices are a bit high but I don't mind if the quality is there. Love this place. Will give it 5 stars BUT the owner/manager needs to do a better managing or overseeing daily business. Might change rating to 4. read more

Everything - food great, service great, nice atmosphere. Will have real positive impact on the neighborhood! read more

Service was friendly and pancakes were delicious. It's a small restaurant and well decorated

My wife & I were anxious to try out the Breakfast Spot on Brownsville Rd in Carrick. We had been told by word of mouth the food was delicious, but it was a little expensive. The place was completely redone on the inside from the dingy, drab way the previous restaurant kept it. Very bright & much cleaner. Although all the waffles & pancakes looked beyond delicious, we are more eggs or omelet people so my wife tried the western omelet while I had the meat omelet. Both came with your option of hash browns or home fries. The omelets were packed with ingredients and the hash browns were cooked to perfection. I had the home fries, and I'm not sure how the cook made them, I have to say they were the best home fries I've ever eaten. The waitress was warm & friendly and made sure the coffee was always hot & filled, and the cook gave us a sincere "Thanks for comin & hope to see you back soon !!" when we left. Total cost was $35 which is higher than usual, but isn't that far off from the other local breakfast places we frequent. Seems other places are catching up with the rising price of eggs. But if you used to visit this place after church when it used to be under another name, I can assure you the quality of food is a lot better with The Breakfast Spot. The only real complaint is no bread offered with the egg meals, although its offered as a side dish for $2 . The owners should offered 2 slices of bread and people would be less likely to complain about the price. read more

The Breakfast Spot is one of the best breakfast places around Pittsburgh! We all ordered different food and it was delicious! My niece loved the pancake flight! I highly recommend giving this place a try!! read more

This place wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best either, I had an 1 1/2 hour wait until I could be seated, I am not too upset about the wait as i was bringing my appetite. The restaurant entrance was so crammed when you had to be wait to be seated as you were basically in everyone's way while waiting. The pancakes were pretty mediocre, I had the fruity pebbles pancake, $13 for a two pancakes and no sides to come along with it. As the restaurant was super hyped, it just wasn't the best food ever. It was pretty dry, although I did order a side of home fries and cheese grits, the home fries were seasoned well and tasted great, the cheese grits were bland in the sense that there was no salt or anything, just tasted like thick cheese. Also, I understand the space in the restaurant is very limited, but I feel like there could definitely be maybe another bathroom, as I waited for the bathroom I was basically standing in front of the kitchen where I was in the way of the staff. And the bathroom trash was on the floor along with its comically small sink. Although I was enticed by the selection they had on the menu, I would not recommend going back again, I would go to bob Evan's over this any day. read more

The service was ok. Our server was not very attentive and the food in our group came at very different times. The first and last meal were given at least 10 minutes apart and multiple items on the same meal came out very late or not at all. The food quality was pretty average for breakfast read more

Food amazing. Service was on point. Loved the chilled out vibe of the place. Will be back, can't recommend The Breakfast Spot enough.

Great experience greeted at the door clean, inviting music playing great atmosphere. They have a small menu that has amazing dishes. I had steak and eggs you could cut with a butter knife and it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I would love to leave a review if the management didn't rely on a terrible wait system. After waiting for over an hour, hear others complain - including a couple that drove over an hour to try this place out - we left. we left because upon check in of our reservation - we were told there would be another 20 minutes!! While this new spot is getting itself together - feel free to visit Frank & Shirley's or First Watch. read more

This is literally out my back door! Having a bowl of cauliflower and cheese soup and a GIANT fish sandwich! Stop in and try it out! Reasonable prices, good food, and friendly staff! GREAT Sunday breakfast!! read more

Where to begin.. First we put our names in and the wait was 30 mins and they took our number, sounds good. 30 minutes went by and we came back to check where we were and they told us they called our table 15 minutes ago, but we received no text.. When we were seated, everything was fine. About 15 minutes later after we put in our order, they asked us to switch tables. A bit of an inconvenience with a toddler, but we aren't going to say no. The table we were seated at was unfortunately close to the bathroom, where there were flies constantly hovering around us. About 20 minutes later we get our food. Pancakes were great, but the bacon was Pre-ready microwaveable bacon.. I've never been served that in a restaurant and the owner should be ashamed as they're clearly a breakfast joint. Then it came time to pay and I received a check with only half my order on it. The waitress said she added the rest and gave me the total on a tablet. I asked to see an itemized receipt of what I was being charged for and she said it wasn't possible? So I can't see what I'm being charged for? I had to ask her three times to cancel my payment and bring me a check so I can see what I was being charged for. She seemed very angry, for a situation that should have been solved easily. The only positive to this place other than the Pancakes was a waitress named Haley, who was the only friendly person in the restaurant. Everyone else seemed miserable and extremely stressed when it's a 10 table spot. I unfortunately will not be coming back, as the great pancakes do not outweigh the above. read more

Gary's is a hidden gem in Carrick that I missed out on for years! I have lived in Carrick my whole life and only within the last two years decided to give them a try. I am so glad I finally did! From the outside, you don't know what to expect- there aren't many windows on the outside. When you walk in, you will be surprised with how many tables the place has. It's definitely outdated in terms of the decor and furniture- but I kind of love the old school feel of the place. Their food isn't going to knock your socks off- but it's very good and VERY reasonably priced. My boyfriend and I have never had a $20 bill , it has always been under and we have always left full and happy. Fluffy pancakes, crispy bacon, thick toast, crispy home fries and omelettes that are packed to capacity-- their food never disappoints! Service is always awesome. And it has never been crowded when my boyfriend and I have come on the weekends (we are late comers though- eating breakfast around 12-1 usually). Anytime I want an awesome breakfast but don't feel like driving far to get it- Gary's is my first choice! read more

first time there. little wait but worth it. server was great. food came out fast and was delicious . definitely going back.

Gary's has been around for over 20 years. It's a small place that's only open for breakfast and lunch. We go for breakfast there so I've never seen their lunch menu. The breakfast menu is straightforward. I typically get the same thing-1 egg, 3 strips of bacon, home fries, and toast. They use Mancini bread for the toast. YUM!!!! They have other menu items like pancakes and waffles. I keep thinking I will order something different but I always order the usual. Bacon and eggs is a comfort food for me. Eating at Gary's is like eating home cooking. Who doesn't want that??? read more

This is just like stepping back into time. Definitely old school interior and exterior. It's very dark inside, no windows except for the ones in the front door. That definitely gives it a lot of character. We went on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was packed inside. We had to wait a few minutes for a table, but not long. Most customers were senior citizen regulars who ate and left pretty quickly. I got the Pittsburgh omelet which had sausage, peppers and onions. It was pretty good and tasty. It was served with Mancini's bread (could have been toasted a little longer), and home fries (pretty average, but still tasty). My partner got the hungry man which had a little bit of everything. He said everything was cooked well and tasty. Pancakes were nice and fluffy. Definitely come here if you want the basics done right. Nothing fancy or crazy creations. Just the classics and a cool atmosphere you can't replicate. read more
