For all of those who are giving a bad rating off of political views and Covid really need to get a life. It's seriously disgusting that it's OK for people to make their comments when they don't agree with others on unmasking and supporting Biden. But God for bid someone feels opposite of you then it's an all out war. If you're going to Review a restaurant on that that obviously you are the problem. For God's sake everyone is entitled to their opinions whether it is posted or not. If you saw that you did not need to wear masks and you clearly are uncomfortable with that then why the hell did you eat here? You are the idiot. If you clearly are 100% for Biden and that party and no this is an establishment that doesn't support that once again, then turn around and eat somewhere else. The people that come here enjoy the food and enjoy the staff who is overly friendly without basing their experience off of their beliefs. You can simply go here if you are open minded and have a delicious meal and overlook these things. You're acting like the wait staff comes around and preaches to you which they absolutely do not. No one is trying to change your mind they are just stating how they believe in things just as you are free to do and have been by making biased comments. Go ahead and laugh at me or message me and complain or argue because I don't care to hear it. Just stating that you had the choice when you saw how they felt when you walked in the door. Instead of being an asshole and giving horrible reviews not based on the quality of food and friendliness of staff you're rating them on what you don't agree with. This place is amazing and the owners would go out of their way to help anyone. I have never had an issue with her food nor has anyone that I know of. If you're going to look for a good breakfast or lunch and are able to be open minded please check this place out. They really are great! read more

HONEST REVIEW: I went to this restaurant planning to give a review free of politics and based solely on their service and quality. In both, they get 5 stars. Food: I had the Corn Beef Benny, and it was absolutely excellent. The serving was a good size (I was getting full about 2/3 through). My friend had a Reuben, which I tried and it was one of the best Reubens I have ever eaten. Service: Our waitress (Nicole) was incredibly sweet and very friendly. She and another waitress (missed her name) both chatted with my friends and me in a kind, enjoyable manner. There was a kitchen accident which resulted in another customer's order being late, and their waitress was emphatically apologetic. The waitresses sanitized tables after they were used. These people quite obviously emphasize giving customers a quality experience. Overall: 100% recommend. These people have earned my business. Thank you all for the wonderful meal! read more

This place is cute and quaint for a relaxed Sunday breakfast. I had their Lenten special, which was a salmon eggs Benedict with a lemony hollandaise sauce, served over potato pancakes and cheesy potatoes on the side. I wish I would have substituted for a different side because it was just too much with the hollandaise (but still delicious). It's BYOB, so don't forget the necessary mimosa parts! read more

This was my first time I've tried this place, and it certainly won't be the last! I really enjoyed my visit today. We went for breakfast and there was plenty of parking. I imagine on the weekend, it will be really tough to find parking if it is packed. They have meter parking, and unfortunately I didn't have cash, so we planned to just keep an eye out. However, our seating did not give us the view of the street. The waitress was super sweet and gave us some quarters - just in case. I had the Eastwood omelette with crispy potato pancakes. They both were very delicious. The crispy potato pancakes were cooked perfectly! They were crunchy and very flavorful. I would be happy with just those! The omelette included peppers, onions, cheese, ham, and bacon. Every ingredient stood out but didn't over power any of the others. So with each bite I tasted everything!! This was one of the best breakfast meals I've had in awhile. Can't wait to try something else on the menu. read more

The Crack'd Egg - Cute table decor - New American Near Me - Brentwood, Pennsylvania

For more than a month I have been eating here every Sunday. Love the food, the wait staff has been great. And then today, we.could not even get seated. There were obviously two top tables available, and when I asked about one of the right in front of us. I was told no. Two minutes later, a couple came in and they were ready to seat them at the table I have just mentioned. Why, I don't know, we left and will never go back again. Really shitty service is all I can say now. Don't go here. read more

I know the owner personally, and she's such a nice person. I've eaten at the Crack'd Egg several times, and the food I had was good in my opinion. People should keep their reviews related to the food and service, not the staff's political views. Just because people don't agree with the restaurant's political stance doesn't give them the right to leave false negative reviews on the restaurant's page. I may not agree with Kimberly on some issues, but I still think she's a sweet person and that her restaurant was always clean when I visited there. For those of you saying that she and her staff don't care about customer's safety, Kimberly actually DID follow the CDC's guidelines at first but then found out it was garbage and that the people in charge were using the coronavirus "pandemic" as a power grab. While Kimberly and some of her friends can be far-right wing in their political views, her food and service have NOTHING to do with her views. read more

My husband and I visited The Crack'd Egg this morning for breakfast. The restaurant's atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and cozy! I loved the decor and the environment. The waiter was on point and super friendly. Additionally, the food was excellent and we enjoyed every bite! ~ A great small business to support that provides a great experience! read more

This is a little sweet secretin the South Hills Pittsburgh. My son saw the reviews on yelp and we went for it. So glad we did. The breakfast was the best ever. We typically just go to the food chains but now that we found this place we have changed our tune. Weekends are are to get in but weekdays are good. read more

First time here, food was awesome, cornbeef hash was the best I've ever had, real shredded cornbeef, not canned crap. My GF had pancakes w/bacon, excellent. You can tell it's made with love. The service was great, waitress was super attentive & very friendly, also local so we talked a lot about the area. Hands down, great breakfast/lunch spot. Can"t wait to go back & try something else. read more

Grand Opening today at this establishment. We knew it was coming so we were excited to try out a place we had heard was going to be good. The restaurant feels like you are stepping into a friend or relatives eat in kitchen to have a meal. The staff is very friendly. They are knowledgeable about their menu. There is a "breakfast bar " type counter where you can sit or their is a large dining room. Everything is new, fresh, and clean. Its contemporary yet home-y. I ordered the waffles. They come with 2 eggs and a breakfast meat. I gave my son the eggs. I ordered bacon as my meat. The waffles were crispy on the edges which is how I like them. The bacon was a little crispy and the saltiness wasn't overwhelming. The sweet of the waffles with the saltiness of the bacon was a great bite. My son ordered blueberry pancakes. He chose bacon as his breakfast meat. The pancakes were full of blueberries. They were fantastic. I think we just found a new breakfast place. They also serve lunch and dinner. I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes. read more

Great food. Great coffee. Servers, all of them, were there for anything we needed. Everything came out hot. Kids food first. All three kids were even given a balloon when we were done. Small family friendly environment. Well worth any wait. read more

Amazing food!! Great staff. The bacon . Highly recommend the Eggs Benedict and the French Toast !!

Had a week worth of work here in the Pittsburgh area and was looking for a good breakfast place. Warm interior and a super friendly staff, Marlene in particular showed a great service. I had a corned beef hash and it was excellent. I came by two more times after that and had the same thing CBH. Most definitely come back again and would recommend this place. Also price was very reasonable. read more

Overall Impression: A well-themed BYOB breakfast joint in Brentwood that has twists on breakfast classics, is moderately priced, and uses quality ingredients. The orange cloth napkins are just a bonus! The Food: I don't know what more you could ask for--because they allow you to BYOB for Bloody Mary's and Mimosa's and have literal BUCKETS of bacon. Those two factors alone should make you want to high-tail it in there. My boyfriend and I frequent this place on weekends for breakfast, as he lives right down the road, and we've never been disappointed. I'm a chicken and gravy fan, so I usually order the "Chicken and the Egg" with my eggs over-easy with mini potato pancakes. The fried chicken tenders are decent although you may want to order extra gravy, it's a little skimpy for true gravy fans. The eggs are cooked exactly how you want them and the mini potato pancakes are perfectly seasoned. The boyfriend usually goes for the Eastwood omelet and adds ghost pepper cheese for an extra kick, and the eggs are fluffy and generously-filled. There is always ample toast and coffee creamer. The menu allows you to BYO-omelet, has a wide variety of choice, and even names a local sandwich, "The Brentwood Duke," as unique to the local area. There is little left to be desired with so much quality and variety attached--not to mention there's eggs on almost all breakfast dishes in a multitude of ways. The Restaurant: I can only describe it as a quaint modern diner with an upscale twist. They use bright orange, green, and splashes of red to give a positive, fresh feeling, and they try keep a spacey feel to a rather cramped space. The ladies at the seating area are always pleasant, and you can choose to sit at the bar or within the restaurant--we prefer to sit at the bar, as there's more space to eat. The only aspect of this location that is borderline obnoxious is how small the tables are combined with how much stuff they try to stick on them (advertising, eating accoutrements, trash bucket, etc.), but I understand that they wanted to fit as many tables/booths as they could to their small space--maybe just nix the extra bits on the table? Between both of our breakfast plates and another plate in the middle of a shared waffle, we were accidentally pushing each other's plates halfway off the table and had to put all the extra things on the floor. Beside the small table space, they make up for it with their high emphasis on service. Their waiters are always very attentive and quick to clear unneeded tableware/refill coffee and water. It does get a little pricey if you start to BYOB because they do charge a cork fee. We've easily paid $50 with tip for breakfast between the two of us, which is a little much to me, but the quality backs the price. TL;DR: The best breakfast place in Brentwood area for sure, and definitely good enough to be within the top 10 for Pittsburgh. The next time you want a breakfast date, go here. You'll love it. read more

My husband and I stopped here for a late breakfast on Saturday. The restaurant wasn't crowded and we were seated promptly. Our server, Danielle, greeted us immediately and took good care of us while we were there. I can't complain about the service at all. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup. I tasted neither lemon nor ricotta in the pancakes and the blueberry syrup tasted bitter and burnt...maybe it's just my tastebuds. My husband ordered the 'Release the Crack'n' which was a little bit of everything - pancakes, eggs, potatoes, toast and bacon. He thought his meal was quite good. I was slightly put off by the music though. The music playing in the restaurant was loud and very, very Christian. Perhaps this doesn't bother most, but it was off-putting to us. I don't mind a little background music while I eat, but I never like it loud enough to notice. This was our first time so I'm not sure if this is an all the time thing or just the choice of a specific person this particular day. Our meals with coffee were around $30, which was a little steep but we received plenty of food and were full all day. read more

Mediocre food is not worth my health! Went there in August and no staff was wearing a mask.i will not be returning until they follow the mask mandate. Protect your staff and your customers! read more

Stopped in this cool little cafe for a quick lunch, and was happy we did. What a great little gem right in Brentwood! Right across from the giant eagle on Brownsville road, it's easy to get to with plenty of parking on street and around the corner. Lots of space inside with a cool set up. The menu is awesome with great breakfast items and lunch meals. We had the grilled chicken sandwich and the tomato basil soup. Soup is made fresh and it's excellent. The breakfast menu had plenty of options as well as daily specials. The day we were there they had a smores pancake that looked amazing!!! We will be back... Often read more

Really enjoyed our time here. Friendly service and good food. Prices are a little high but, overall it was great!

The Bird and I have been to the Crack'D Egg nearly a dozen times already. Don't let the name fool you this is not just a breakfast place. From burgers to huge salads to the incredible meatloaf you will not be disappointed ! (Yes the breakfast items are great and fun!). The fact it is also a BYOB place just adds to the place! We can't wait for the spring when they will open up the front garage door and we can sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine. read more

I absolutely love this place. Clean nicely decorated. Service was excellent. Waitress was very attentive. Took a little while for our order but nothing crazy. Food was well worth the wait. Good portion size. More than I usually pay for breakfast but was worth every penny! read more

This place is so cute and quaint, not to mention the food is delicious. I have been here numerous times with friends and family and I never have been disappointed. Everything is fresh and the service is good. The cheesy bacon pizza is delicious. read more

The food was okay, pricey for eggs. However our server forgot to put our order in. It took almost an hour to get our breakfast. Not a 2nd timer for me. read more

My girlfriend and I have gone here a few times and it has become our favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Pittsburgh. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the service and quality of food you receive. When it's nice out you can sit outside, or sit inside and enjoy the sunlight as they open the garage door at the front of the restaurant. This place is BYOB and also have a BYOB Bloody Mary Bar on Sundays (this is something you never find)! I have ordered a different item off the menu all three visits and I would re-order and recommend all three (corned beef hash, breakfast burrito, chicken and eggs). I cannot wait to go again on Sunday! read more

Great food overall and staff friendly and attentive. My wife's eggs Benedict was the only complaint as the poached eggs were both cooked hard which is not how they should be. Portions are huge and prices are a bit high, but the food quality is quite good. Very busy on weekends but the weekdays are a great day to go in and have breakfast or brunch. read more

Cute little place, very family friendly. They gave my niece a balloon after she was done eating! And they had toys and games for kids to borrow while there. They have a tiny patio where I saw a couple of dogs. Food was good, not great. Everyone seemed okay with their meals. My sister in law got biscuits and gravy we were shocked at the small portions. We got a bacon basket, which was awesome. We had to ask for coffee refills, but they were busy. Decent place for breakfast in the area! read more

I love this place!! I just don't like that there is no privacy in the bathrooms. When I was 6 months pregnant I was in the bathroom puking, and everyone in the restaurant heard! How embarrassing, but I laugh about it now! read more

I have had breakfast here many times, always great service and food, but tonight they had a special Italian Night, The greens and beans were the best I have tasted, and the chicken romano was fabulous.The whole staff really put there heart into it, can't wait until there next dinner!!!! read more

15-20 min wait to be seated. 50 Min wait for food. Very below average / bad food. Dry pancakes. Cold food. Undercooked Potatoes. Eggs were slightly runny. Don't even look at the turkey sausage it was terrible. Waitress was nice. read more

reminiscing about the day i got extreme diarrhea immediately after eating here a couple months ago, but i just learned why. these people got shut down NOT ONLY for not following proper protocol regarding mask-wearing, but also bc their kitchen was so dirty that i'm afraid i actually got e. coli while eating here. do NOT order food here. and DO NOTTTT drink the tap water. read more

We went here on a recommendation. The food was awesome. The place is bigger than it looks too. You can sit outside or inside. Service was wonderful and quick. We will be visiting again, again, and again. read more

Amazing! Food and service is awesome! The decor and atmosphere is adorable! One of my favorite breakfast /brunch places.

I only review the places that you MUST visit or purchase services and the ones to steer clear of, this is a hidden gem in Brentwood. Have been there several times for breakfast, never an extended wait, servers are super friendly, food is fresh, eggs NOT cooked in a vat of grease (thank you), French toast is devine, and although their iced coffee comes from a concentrate, I fell in love with it. This is one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been. My only complaint is that they don't do a bigger dinner menu, I'd love to see them do Farm to Table entrees with substance. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. The food is always amazing and portion sizes are great. I always end up taking leftovers home. I especially like the French toast with the bananas and pecans. I have never been disappointed here! read more

This is such an unexpected pleasure on the Main Street of Brentwood. The decor is charming and trendy and the menu is very creative with a variety of seasonal choices. I have introduced many friends and family and each experience has been enjoyable. It's always nice to find restaurants that aren't franchised and boring. Much luck to them! read more

Decent food. Wish they had more allergen friendly options especially for breakfast. Moderate price for breakfast.

Had breakfast there on Sunday, the food was plentiful and extremely delicious. Plan on going there on a weekly basis. Great job!!

This is one of my favorite places. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is outstanding, food is great and coffee is awesome. If you have not dined here yet shame on you. read more

I thought this place was great, very reasonable prices and extremely friendly staff. I came here around lunchtime on a weekday, and was able to be seated right away, which is nice. They have an open front to their restaurant, with a garage-door-style opening that can roll up or down in inclement weather. The decor inside was extremely charming, and spotlessly clean. I ordered the cracked egg sandwich with bacon, and loved it! I would probably recommend asking for provolone or mozzarella cheese in place of the American cheese, but that's just a personal preference. Will definitely go again. read more

I'm not very picky when it comes to service- but this was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The wait was over 45 minutes, and when we finally got seated it was at an awkward table that was too small for our party. The waitress was horrible, she messed up the order and never came to refill any drinks. When she did come, it was to give us the bill and quickly ask us how the food tasted and literally started running away before we could answer. The food was below average and a bit soggy. It's sad because I'd like to support my local businesses, but I can't say I'll be going back. read more

Went here for the 1st time this morning. Breakfast was really good. Omelette your way especially. Would definitely go back!!
